Yuru-chara are like the mascot people you'll see in Japan all the time, it's like a normal thing. So while yeah Unova is supposed to be New York, there's probably SOME Japanese elements since it was made by a Japanese company. And also it'd be silly. While Sugar would be a great one, do you think the mascots would be chibi-ified versions of the bosses? Or some silly little guy?
Considering nothing's off limits for sugar via shape-shifting . I feel like she has a bunch of different little mascots she turns into <3

I just imagined one of their pokemon being a little grifter/thief. Like one of their joltiks just constantly sneaking out of the house and acting like they haven't been fed to all the neighbors/depot agents/random passerbys. The joltik has like 15 secret families
OMG do you think emmet may have been an influence on its bad behavior /j

I'm wheezing over Ingo and Litwick's dynamic jgjbjjxjsjwkfiisiq and TYNAMO FITTING INTO EMMET'S SCARF IS SOOO CUTE!! Love how you draw the little sbubby bois, their conductor themed outfits are soo freaking cute!!!
Tumblr media
I have so many thoughts when it comes to them it’s insane. Glad you like the characterizations!
Here’s a quick one shot under the cut, as a treat for making it this far.
Emmet finds Tynamo three months before Ingo meets Litwick. Ingo has some thoughts.
Ingo and Emmet are part of a pair.
If Emmet is the fuck around and find out, then Ingo’s been relegated amused damage control. This has always been the case, right up until Emmet found tynamo. Then suddenly, it’s “wow emmet, you’re so responsible!” “Golly gee Emmet, what do you mean you don’t want to go exploring the cave systems after dark?” “Gee whizz, what do you mean curfew for your eel puppy?” “Why in Reshiram do you get to have a whole pokemon three months before we agreed to get starters, and i don’t?”
Ingo doesn’t say the last part. He’s a bitter world-weary twelve year old languishing about the unfairness of the pokestray distribution system, but he also loves his brother. Emmet found an injured tynamo in chargestone cave and decided to help— tynamo decided to stay. It’s every child’s film plot. Ingo being a grouchy gengar makes him objectively a terrible friend.
Oh dragons, is Ingo a bad brother?
“Ingo!”
Speak of the cold, and he shall enter. Ingo swings his whole body around to better brace for the flying tackle.
“Emmet!”
“I am emmet! You are sulking.”
Ingo clicks his mouth closed and tries not to sulk harder. He fails.
“You are not being verrrry convincing, brother dearest.”
“I do not have any idea what you are going on about,” Ingo’s traitorous mouth blurts. “Be convinced I love you and am not planning dastardly plots.”
Do not think about getting a ground typed starter. Do not think about getting a ground typed starter.
Emmet shoots him a judgemental look from under the brim of his hat. Ingo glowers back, and slowly starts leaning forward, smooshing Emmet under his weight.
“Ttttell me why you look like a crushed joltik.”
“Keep this up and you are going to be the crushed joltik.”
Anyways, Emmet is becoming more bold by the day and even actively discussing electric types with the new girl in elementary prep, Elesa. Ingo thinks she’s cool, but she flinched when he blurted a once again too loud greeting so he’s… letting that cool off. They definitely don’t have anything to talk about beyond pokemon, and Emmet and her already have pokemon. Ingo feels a bit left out.
Caught in the ennui of not having a blitzle or tynamo, Ingo slips as Emmet rolls out from under him. The two go down in an ungraceful tangle of limbs.
“Tell. Me. What’s. Wrong.” Emmet gently slaps Ingo’s face like a ripe oran berry. “You want to tell me sooo badly. Ooh.”
“Emmet- aurgh. Gerroff’”
“I don’t speak denial.”
Ingo gives up. His entire body deflates. Emmet, not expecting the sudden loss of spinal infrastructure, slides sideways and knees Ingo’s lungs.
Ingo wheezes. “I’m sulking because you were crushing my spine.”
“Tell me the truth.”
Uh oh. Ingo studies Emmet’s face. It’s the same one he looks into the mirror with, but marred with concern and self consciousness. Ingo made Emmet worry. He’s not just a bad twin. He’s the worst.
“You are Emmet.”
“I am Emmet.”
“You have Tynamo.”
“Tynamo’s charging at home.”
Smart ass! Emmet knows what Ingo means. And by Emmet’s smug grin, Emmet knows too.
Ingo struggles to explain that Emmet has Tynamo, and Elesa, and… that’s only two other individuals. He is truly the worst twin in all the land. Emmet gets two new friends and Ingo’s being an infant about it.
One day, Ingo will have his own pokemon partner and team— but right now, Ingo only gets to have Emmet.
Ingo feels this is an unfair trade equivalent, but he does not want to say it in a way that sounds rude, so he stalls.
Emmet has no such prefunctures. He squints at Ingo, who avoids eye contact and squirms. “You are… jealous?” He tilts his head in visible confusion. “What?”
Ingo covers his face with his hands, defeated.
“You arrrre jealous!” Emmet cries, bewildered. “Why??”
Ingo lets out an unintelligible wheeze. Emmet remembers he still has a knee on Ingo’s chest, and hastily sits back.
“I don’t want to be jealous,” Ingo finally bursts. “I am very happy for you Emmet! You and Tynamo are a winning combination!” His voice cracks embarrassingly. Emmet doesn’t flinch at the volume, even muffled under Ingo’s palms. “I don’t want to be a bad brother being jealous.”
“You aren’t a bad brother, Ingo.”
“I am. I am angry that you found your starter and I haven’t. I’m sad I interrupted your schedule with my inane demands. I have made you feel like you did something wrong. I apologize.”
Peeking between Ingo’s fingers, Emmet’s face falls. Ingo wants to be struck by a giga impact rather than face this. He would rather be a dusty imprint. Where is Uncle Drayden’s Haxorous when you need her?
“Ingo, Ingo listen to me.” Emmet’s hands dart forward to settle Ingo’s shoulders. The pressure is grounding. Real. This is where Emmet tells Ingo he’s being stupid.
He hears Emmet exhale.
“I’m sorry.”
Wait, that doesn’t sound right. “Pardon?”
“I wanted to train Tynamo as my conductor, and I left our two-car train unmaintained.”
“Pardon??”
Emmet looks uncomfortable and sad. It makes Ingo uncomfortable and sad. “Yesterday night. When you wanted to go to the caves. For our weekly charting. I said I’d rather help Tynamo.”
Oh. Yeah, Ingo remembers that. It had stung. “You are not obligated to say yes,” he protests. “In fact, you should say no more. You always say yes.”
“Yes.”
“What did I just say.”
“No. You’re my brother. I left you out.”
Ingo slowly puts down his hands. His face still feels warm, but he feels less scared. Now he just feels embarrassed. He can’t help but let out a meek plea slip. “Don’t go where I can’t follow, Emmet. Please.”
“I would never! We are going on our pokemon journey together, yep yep. You, me, tynamo, and whoever your starter will be!”
The two sit there on the side of the dirt road. Emmet’s declaration sounds like a dangerous promise. Ingo realizes at that moment he would do anything for his brother, who’s his best friend and confidant and world, starter or no starter. He opens his mouth to tell Emmet that.
“Wwwwwait. You are trying to go back to the caves. Ingo! Are you trying to find a starter by yourself!?”
Never mind. Emmet’s gone for his soft underbelly, and Ingo’s in pain. “Emphasis on trying,” he mutters instead. The joltik are not interested in him. The local tynamo swarm fled. A curious drilbur had sniffed him once, turned up its nose, and then trundled into the wall.
“…ah.”
Nothing had felt right for Ingo— too scared, too judgemental, or too uninterested. He’s starting to accept that maybe none of the pokemon in this town area match his truth or ideals.
Emmet was quiet for a long time. He had his thinking face on, so Ingo did not interrupt. He took the time instead to look up at the sky, watching the giant puff of clouds drift by. A plume of swabloo lazily inches their way across the horizon.
A shadow falls over Ingo. Emmet dusts himself off, and helps drag his twin to his feet. The two sway, clasping hands.
“We’ll ask Uncle Drayden,” Emmet decides, and Ingo is enthralled by the sheer truth of that statement. “He’ll let us use the subway! And you can look elsewhere, for a starter who is ideal for you. Wwwwith me and Tynamo, instead of by yourself.”
“Truly?” Uncle Drayden is a scary man.
Emmet nods. It’s easy to talk to Emmet— he just says words that Ingo would spend hours ruminating on. “I am verrrry persuasive.”
“You mean staring at him from the corner until he cracks?”
“Brother, you know me so well!”
Ingo cant help but laugh. He still feels guilty and bad for feeling envious, but a world with emmet by his side is significantly less hostile. Emmet’s hand is warm in his.“Thank you!” He cheers, startling himself with his volume. “Bravo,” he tried in a quieter tone.
“Bravo!!” Emmet replies, pointedly louder. Ingo squawks as Emmet pulls him off balance. “You are my brother! We’re going to find you a starter!”
Ingo tugs back just as fiercely. “Bravo!! We are going to harass Uncle Drayden into letting us board the train!”
Emmet leans with his whole body, dragging Ingo into the fulcrum of his centrifuge. “BRAVO! YOU ARE GOING TO HELP ME WITH TYNAMO’S TRAINING!”
Ingo digs his heels in, and then stumbles. “BRAVO, I, what?”
Emmet looked distinctly patrat-esque. “We’re in this together, Ingo. No backing out now.”
Ingo thought about it long and hard. He gets to see his brother get electrocuted. But he will, also, most likely, get electrocuted.
(Tynamo is Emmet’s starter. But maybe, it can also be Ingo’s friend.)
But brother say brother do, and Ingo’s probably obligated to run damage control if Emmet decides to, say, shove a fork into an outlet for Tynamo to snack on.
(Emmet fucks around. Ingo finds out. Even two steps apart with new people between, this is the way of their world.)
“Alright,” he crumbles. When they step this time, they step in sync. “We do this. Together.” (Enjoy this? Here's the link to the rest of my rat crimes.)

Here we go with Ingo's Pokémon reunions, This time it's Galvantula and Crustle,
Little reminder that Emmett and Ingo co-raise/ share their Pokémon teams with each other so while Emmett carefully picked out and breed joltiks for his Ideal Galvantula, Ingo played a major part in training, raising and spoiling this Joltik/ galvantula from its egg into a powerful member of the Battle Subway
Tumblr media
[ image description]
[ Ingo sits on Crustle, a crab Pokémon underneath a block of stratified/layered earth that looks a little like a tiramisu cake, Ingo is leaning back and laughing with his hand to prop him up as in his lap is Galvantula who is climbing up to snuggle Ingo. Crustle and Galvantula are verrrrry happy to see Ingo ]
More headcanons and details below the readmore
- Galvantula's name is Catanary, which is the overhead wires that power subway cars or trams! Her name was picked out long before she was hatched while Ingo and Emmett where figuring out their idea for the perfect Subway boss team they drew up during their Pokémon journey so they didn't exactly stick to it but it shows how dedicated the Boy were to their dream of combining their two favourite things, Battling and Trains!
- While Catanary was breed from a egg, it wasn't only Emmett with 5 million joltiks. Costum IV or egg move type Pokémon can be gotten from breeder who specializes in the Pokémon you are looking for, but are rare and need to put in a lot of work and need to be a little lucky with. How it worked out is that Emmett and Ingo's put their Pokémon journey on hold for a few years working at a joltik breeder, (who both studies the Pokémon, does conservation work and does adoption and training for trainer who want a joltik or want to take care of their Joltik properly) After hatching and breeding a lot of Joltik, Emmett eventually found a Joltik that had the right IV's and egg moves, and then he and his brother started on the matchmaking system. Since Pokémon are intelligent creatures with personalities and preferences, Emmett not only had to find a joltik with his proper stat set up but also one whom the Joltik found that He measured up in turn, Catanary was not the first Joltik Emmett hatched with the proper egg move and such but the one who wanted to grow up to be a fighter and wanted Emmett as his permanent trainer in return.
- Due to this, Emmett considers Galvantula lucky, and along with Archeopes, has spoiled her a bit (a lot) Thankfully since she is one of the older Pokémon in Emmett's team, due to her being caught during their childhood/ Pokémon journey days, she has matured to be more responsible in front of other Pokémon, such as the subway Joltik infestation, or Pokémon from her trainers coworkers
- she has not however grown out of using her puppy dog eyes to get extra treats or try to convince both her trainers that the other one has Not feed her thus getting feed twice, So she's very overweight for her species, which would be a bigger consern if she also wasn't a part of the top 10 professional fighter teams
- She is also overly friendly with people, often climbing into people's lap for pets, and walking up to children for attention and Skritches. While this behaviour means that she could never be a wild Pokémon, it has also means that she is one of Emmett and Ingo's go to Pokémon for calming down lost children, to the point that she does this by herself. First by watching subway traffic from the ceiling, them approaching them to calm them down and then leading them to their parents by having them hold the other end of her spider silk, while she leads them though the crowd. Of course she does this is in part to to get extra Treats from her trainers but she also likes helping people like Emmett and Ingo helped her when she was small and cried a lot
- Crustles name is Tiramisu! Which I think is the cutest thing I could think up, I also made sure that the rock she carries looks like her cake namesake. She was actually caught by another trainer, and traded with Ingo, since she loves fighting much more than her old trainer did. I imagine that her old trainer was a Station Master who predated Ingo and Emmett joining subway. She was in charge of the care of a single line, with Tira helping out with tunnel maintenance. Tira meet Ingo and Emmett when they started out as grunts for the Subway system, but didn't really get to know them until they had moved up the ranks and got started with Battle Subway project. Due to Tira's knowledge of her trainer's tunnel line, she guided the diggers and at that time learned what kind of person the twins are and what kind of life their Pokémon live, I think she actually told her trainer that she wants to live with them instead, not that she didn't love her old trainer but sometimes you need to make a change if you want to pursue your dreams, (which included fighting, not just running the subway) Her old trainer understood (but put Ingo and Emmett though some trials to prove to her that they would be worthy of the trainer's trust and be responsible enough for Tira's welfare)
- Tira still carries/ wears the collar her old trainer gave her, and gets to see her often when Ingo and Emmett does their inspection rounds on her trainers (passenger only) line, in addition to non-work visits. The collar is also has tags with both the Old subway logo and the new Battle Subway logo, symbolising both the passing of the torch, and her loyalty to all of her beloved trainers past and present.
- Speaking of 'carrying' due to crustle's whole gimmick being carrying the earth on their back, To carry something has a very important place in their Culture. 'to carry' means 'this is my shell, my home, whose worth is so much more than its weight that I shall bring it with me everywhere' this not always a meaningful thing but in the case of this picture Tiramisu picking up and carrying Ingo on her back symbolises that She considers him family, an ireplaceable part of her home, that she so very happy to have him back in her life
- sappy stuff aside, like most Pokémon there is a element of them having goblin animal behaviour, and carrying thing such, as the fridge (where all her snacks are), when she's mad at Emmett or Ingo for something (like washing her bed without permission, No she doesn't care how dirty it is and weather it's tracking mud on the carpet, she just got it to smell right) is the equivalent of her Pick up a rucksack and saying she only cares about Food Now She is Running Away!
- She and Ingo has on multiple occasions pranked Emmett, (who is a early riser but gets sleepy early) who accidently feel asleep in a nice recliner in the work room, by picking up his chair and walking away with it, With Ingo trying to see if he could get his silly little brother all the way back home without waking him up. It never works, (dispite Ingo's effort of figuring which way home will have the least noise and rough terrain) but pictures on Ingo trying to get his sleeping brother past the subway turn styles on moving recliner with a lease, have become a permanent meme on Poke-Internet for obvious reasons

I AM ASKING YOU ABOUT NEWSIES AND POKÉMON ANYTHING ANYTHING U HAVE -@jack-kellys
rizz you are a kind person thank you so much for giving me a chance to go crazy insane over my fanmade pokemon teams
now. full disclosure. i am a loser and a pedant and this ask took me hours because i kept going way too in depth and overly-rationalizing why certain pokemon would be unfeasible to have and etc etc and then i remembered that i am the god of this word document and i can do what i like if it means i have fun doing it. so i am giving myself one pedantic thing which is that i'm not giving people full teams since 1) i don't think a bunch of working class kids would have the means money or accommodation to support six full pets (i know the pokemon universe has free healthcare and everyone always has all the food and medicine they need for their pokemon but this is The Capitalism Show, that's not happening here), and 2) a big thing about newsies is the connections the characters have, so giving them all six pets felt like kind of a cop out to me. so we're going by anime rules in which people only have a team of six if they're professional trainers. but as for stuff like 'how can race, a child with 100 roommates, own a horse that is perpetually on fire', we're not gonna focus on that. we're having fun here.
jack
again, since jack as a character keeps people at a distance through his cowboy persona and santa fe dream, i don't think he'd have that large a team. honestly, i'm not sure he would've wanted a pokemon at all. BUT. rockruff's are such a perfect jack-mon it drives me insane. rockruff’s are given to young trainers as their friendly disposition makes them seem like ‘easy’ beginner pokemon, but as they grow older, they become more aggressive and many are abandoned before ever reaching evolution. i always saw this as a reference to buying puppies, not training them properly and then abandoning/surrendering them once they became too difficult, but maybe i was getting too PETA with it. either way, i think jack could relate to that in any au or era – the kids in newsies are ignorable until they cause problems, and then they’re troublemakers who get thrown in the refuge. again, i’m probably going way too PETA on this, but i don’t think it’s a stretch to see the possible connection. i think jack found her in an alley one day when he was young – he was on the run from snyder and couldn’t afford any lodging anywhere – and though she was snappy and defensive at first, jack understood all too well why she was. he was patient, quietly talking about anything at all, tossed her some of the food he’d scrounged for himself because she was just so skinny – and she hasn’t left his side, since. i like to believe she’d evolve into a dusk form lycanroc, as a rockruff can only become a dusk form lycanroc if they have the 'own tempo' ability, which makes them immune to confusion and intimidation, two things jack overcomes as a character.
and for a second pokemon. listen. i don’t think jack would want more than one pokemon – like i said, i don’t think he wanted any pokemon at all since he was headed to santa fe and wouldn’t’ve wanted to spend money he didn’t have on pets – but jack having a smeargle would be so funny. especially a shiny smeargle, for the red aesthetic. he doesn’t know it’s shiny he just thinks it’s really dirty. he fed it once and now it keeps following him around and he really wants it to go away until he finds it copying some of his drawings on the rooftop. and then he just... melts. i think that'd be adorable.
davey
MOTHERFUCKING JOLMTIK. joltik is a flawless davey pokemon. small, easily overlooked, can’t make their own energy and must recharge (like ‘TISM???? PERHAPS????), BUT after storing so much power, they can release it into something incredible!! they also evolve into galvantula, going from the smallest pokemon ever at only 4 inches to a GIANT TARANTULA LARGER THAN A HUMAN MAN – it represents davey’s arc and i won’t elaborate. they attack through speed and special attack, stunning their opponents rather than going on a full-fledged physical assault, which absolutely speaks to how davey behaves within the show. he may not be as physically tough as the newsies, but he is calculating, and more importantly, he’s good at it. also it’s a ‘tarantulas?’ reference, what do you WANT from me.
i like to think davey and his family couldn’t afford a pokemon for every kid, so they have their family pokemon (a mabosstif trained by mayer) and unfortunately no others. but davey found this palm-sized little bug under his pillow during winter, trying to generate energy from the heat, and so decided that maybe, MAYBE, the little fella could snooze under his cap for a bit, just to warm up.
(the joltik stayed. their name is edison. davey hasn’t taken his hat off in front of people in months because all edison's electric charges make his hair puff out in a static ball. don’t tell his mother.)
katherine
katherine is technically wealthy and therefore more likely to have a full pokemon team, but since she doesn’t rely on her father and is living independently on a female journalist’s salary in the 1890s, i don’t think she’d have a large team. three at most.
espeon – her partner pokemon, raised from an eevee. her name is bronte, which i decided before uksies as a reference to the bronte sisters, so happy coincidences all around. i don’t view katherine as a competitive battler since she has nothing to gain from it, so i imagine bronte mostly behaves as a cat would, just with more magic attached – sitting on katherine’s lap as she writes, using psychic moves to float her teacup to her when she needs it, etc – but she can also wreck shop if she needs to.
dachsbun – this one is purely just a charlie sausage cameo. i saw a dachshund pokemon and said ‘charlie sausage’. still, i think it’s a cute idea, and i love the idea of a young katherine running around with a tiny, floppy fidough.
meowstic – female meowstics lean more towards attacking whereas males lean towards defence; again, while i don’t see katherine as being a battler, i absolutely see her wanting a team that can fight should she need them to. here are two pokedex entries for meowstic: “if they don’t get what they want, they will torment you with their psychic abilities.” “if it doesn’t hold back when it unleashes its psychic power, it can tear apart a tanker. its unfriendliness is part of its charm.” we know katherine can be ruthless for the sake of justice, but a big part of katherine as a character is needing to hide her vulnerabilities so people will take her seriously; i like to think katherine tries to channel this energy when she needs people to listen to her. i also love giving characters grumpy little cats, apparently.
(also, this was unintentional, but the pink/purple, yellow/orange and blue colouring of each pokemon does fit w her uksies costumes)
race
race doesn’t really have a ‘partner’, he has his two pokemon who he loves with all his heart. the first is a shinx named lucky thirteen; i’ve always envisioned race as an electric type trainer, he just fits the bill so well. my original thought was electrike, as they can stimulate their muscles with electricity to run faster, and race has always had a connotation of speed (he’s often a track kid or a dancer in modern eras, he has to run away from cops a lot, etc. it’s not a CANON connotation by any means, he’s only called race because of sheepshead, but it’s a connotation i’ve held) but it just didn’t fit to me – electrike, even in first-stage, has a lot of edge to it that doesn’t suit race’s playful exterior. according to shinx’s pokedex entry, when threatened, it will release a dazzling flash and then escape while it’s foe is blinded. i like to think that race uses this to escape people when he’s cheated on a wager or running from the cops; i also think shinxes have a friendlier disposition than electrikes, and then you get all the edginess and good stats as the pokemon gets older and evolves, and i imagine race would mature in a similar way when he finally has the freedom to take himself more seriously as he ages.
race’s second pokemon is a ponyta named corona who wasn’t technically his at first, but he’d always talk to her when he was hiding in the sheepshead stables whenever he was running from someone. she lights his cigars and makes great company, but she is very excitable and also very stubborn. one day race finds her just. following him home across the brooklyn bridge. the next day’s headline is about a crazed pokemon who bucked off her rider, injured a stablehand and broke out of the stables. she’s a very special girl who gets many poffin treats.
(again – how does race keep this very flammable horse at the lodging house? fuck you i’m having fun.)
spot
spot only has one pokemon, making her seem like an easy fight, but with her reputation, it only makes her more intimidating. her partner, a riolu, seems calm and uninterested, but if you’re talking shit you will be hit by two rounds of ‘close combat’ – one by riolu, and one by spot. i like to think spot’s riolu is very protective of her because, as riolu’s can sense emotions, she knows when spot is leaning heavily on her ‘queen of brooklyn’ performance and when she needs to be supported. riolu’s can also sense a person’s nature, so spot will usually bring her to meetings to gage whether or not she can trust someone. unfortunately, her riolu turns into an excitable little puppy whenever race is around.
and now some rapid-fire newsies for funzies
albert has a nickit named dodger. he’ll knock something valuable to the floor, pretending it was an accident, and dodger will steal it.
i gave splasher a quaxley because. duck, swimming, haha. but i also gave jojo a bounsweet because uksies jojo slays hard enough to have a tsareenee when he’s older. then I remembered that both these pokemon’s final evolutions (quackaval and tsareenee) are rivals who will fight each other for territory, and now i can’t stop imagining that splasher and jojo have to constantly separate their pokemon who just wont stop kicking each other.
morris – a growlithe. someone who he knows will be loyal to him, no matter what.
oscar – an absol. someone who can tell when danger’s coming. unlike morris and his growlithe, oscar and his absol seem to really hate each other, but they stay together nonetheless.
mike and ike - plusle and minun. since uksies i love the idea that mike and ike are not twins and didn’t even know each other when they arrived at the lodging house, let alone know the other had the same pokemon as them until they met. they both find it very strange.
finch is the only newsie to have a full team but that’s because he’s befriended literally every bird pokemon that stops on the fire escape. There’s simon the starly, percy the pidove, peter the pidgey, timmy the taillow, franky the fletchling and rooney the rookidee. finch isn’t good at naming. still, the birds like him.
tommy boy has a lillipup and it really offsets his quiet tough-guy persona but he does not care.
when i first mentioned a newsies pokemon au someone mentioned romeo having a luvdisc just for the funniness of it, but honestly i love the idea of romeo having something like brock's croagunk from the 'diamond and pearl: battle dimensions' series to physically knock him on his ass the moment he starts getting too romantic.
medda has a snubbull and she’s the ugliest angriest thing in the world but she loves medda and that’s enough.

Since you mentioned how Zingo came from a "puppy mill" operation with an unlicensed breeder, I started imagining Emmet, being an actual qualified breeder (with his joltiks, he needed that license) finally finding out where Zingo came from after listening to her talk about it. He wouldn't be happy in the slightest. Maybe sends in an anonymous tip to the police or whatever is equal to the highest breeders organization in Unova to have the other Zoroas and Zoroarks taken and put in actual good homes, and that 'breeder' locked up. It might have only one positive (that is, he got Zingo), but everyone else is still verrry bad.

YEAH. Emmet takes himself verrrrry seriously as a respectable breeder and can't abide by shitty breeders. People who neglect their pets get dealt with accordingly <3

[The little 'skrtch tikk's of cute clawed paws scrabbling through your open window sounds through your enhanced senses. You're in the room and turn to see Auzī leap semi-ungracefully to your beat-up second-hand leather grandpa chair and sit like a puppy. Its dark and thick fur hides many scars, as you learnt during your last brief scare, but the newest one, climbing around its ribcage and framing half its body shows beneath its coat as a jagged grey mark. Auzī is also breathing much more heavily than last time it climbed your apartment building... Its lung is probably slightly compromised from now on...]
🪙 So uhm... I have stuff to say but... I don't really know how to start...
<@the-black-zorua>
[Joltik jumps up the sound and watches it, not wanting to scar it off, but also immedaitly wanting to hug it. They wince at its new scars, but quickly grabs a blanket and offers it to Auzī,]
"Hey- hey' its okay- we have time for whatever, just- thank Arc you're safe- I was worried."

I DID IT. Courtney with the team I headcanon for her!
Tumblr media
Camerupt -- Soot
Soot was a gift for Courtney as a child, from Maxie--in my headcanon, they're siblings. Soot was Courtney's first Pokémon, and has been a steady companion her whole life. The premier ball Courtney is holding is Soot's!
Bonus: The megastone earring is a clip-on!
Mareep -- Dolly
Dolly is a spoiled little creature who gets carried around everywhere and pampered like an old lady's purse chihuahua. She tends to scream when put down on the ground.
Gavantula -- Emily
When Courtney was a teenager, her parents took her on a vacation to Unova. While there, Courtney caught her Gavantula and Zebstrika (as Joltik and Blitzle, respectively) as well as a third Pokémon that she would gift to Tabitha much later. Courtney thinks he's adorable. Has to be discouraged from setting up electric webs in inopportune locations, especially near important machinery.
Zebstrika -- Invincible
Also from that one Unova vacation, Invincible is temperamental and highly protective of his trainer. 10/10 will stomp you to death with his hooves. Doesn't really like cold weather or anything that comes of it, good thing he's a Magma Pokémon now.
Heat Rotom -- Circuit
Great for delivering warm snacks. Circuit was first found terrorizing various grunts in the Magma Hideout, glitching out it's machinery and generally causing a ruckus with the tricks it pulled. After a couple weeks, it eventually got up to Courtney and Tabitha that the grunts of Team Magma were still having trouble. With Courtney's unique affinity for electric types, she was able to swiftly subdue and catch the Rotom, eventually training Circuit for her team—though it's still fond of causing mischief from time to time.
Salandit -- Rango
Also a gift, from shortly after she embarked on her own first Pokémon journey. He was received from a family friend, it's kind of a long story. Great friends with Dolly, they tend to chase each other around Soot's back in circles.
Bonus Round -- Pearl, the Huntail, tragically not pictured
Probably the only water type in the entire Magma hideout, has his own aquarium. It's probably only allowed because Courtney is Maxie's sister and pulled the puppy eyes. She thinks Pearl is one of the most adorable creatures in Hoenn. Not used for battling.

Okayokayokay, Ingo and Emmet with a crush on a trainer with the cutest pokemon on their team, but said pokemon are hilariously overpowered? Like, the yamper has perfect puppy dog eyes asking for treats after whooping three different trainers without problem, and the alolan vulpix is picking flowers after one shotting a fire type (just as some examples, you don't have to include those exact pokemon if you don't want to!)
Pfff I get it.
-
-
🔲Ingo🔲
- Terrified if your training regiments.
- First your sweet baby ducklett was terrified of heights, yet one shots an electric type no problem.
- How can something so small and cute be so fierce in battle? What did you do to get your team so strong?
- A pyukumuku is not suppose to one shot three trainers teams what the fuck-
- Is impressed but please, his heart can’t take the fear.
- You’re a force to be reckoned with and he desperately wants to date you-
- Babies your Pokémon like hell. They are small, cute, baby shaped, and still either in their first evolutions or are just like that.
- never withholds treats in fear of retaliation, but also ‘omg you’re so cute, sweet baby murderer, come here-‘
-
🔳Emmet🔳
- is scared, horny, and livid all at once.
- SNOM IS ONE OF THE WEAKNESS THINGS THERE IS HOW THE FUCK DID IT ONE SHOT HIS TEAM!?
- You end up having a one sided rivalry but turns into him crushing on you.
- He is still not happy about this but also he is.
- Scared+horny= ‘so there’s this person being mean to me-‘
- He babies your Pokémon as much as he does his own. But he’s a little intimidated that your Shinx takes out ground types.
- And by a little I mean a lot. There isn’t a lot Emmet fears, but your Pokémon are one of them.
- Gives you a joltik to see how overpowered you can make it.
- And you don’t disappoint.

@whatthechickenfriedfuck
Certainly! Luthor's list was a collaboration with @darkwingsnark, so she can probably remember more of the specific reasons, but for Luthor we were looking for a good mixture of power, technology, and deviousness, as well as things that meshed well with his general being.
Gengar -- I think this was a snark pitch, but it's a three stage and has the right air of clever menace. Metagross is a powerful steel (tech) and psychic (intelligence) with the capacity to go beyond and mega-evolve. Gigalith, iirc, was for another powerful / intimidating three stage (and the shiny sort of looks like Kryptonite). Duraludon represents his buildings, Genesect for a man-made legendary, and a shiny Eevee for potential, wealth/prestige, the stereotypical cat-stroking bad guy, and the possibility of change (plus we couldn't give him a meowth for obvious reasons).
Clark has a Magikarp (raised from childhood, to represent Clark's patience and desire to nurture something weak) a Sivally (that he liberated from Luthor as a Type: Null, which Luthor is very pissed about) and a Deoxys, that sort of has been following him around since he was a kid (curious about his origin) even though he keeps trying to chase it off.
Toyman's are all single-stage and weak, most being playful toys, mischievious, and/or electric; Mime Jr, Shuppet, and Mimikyu all occupy the same niche (non-threatening little doll that actually is a little scary) a Joltik for a cute electric type (ditto that for Magnemite), and then one big unexpected powerhouse, Xurkitree. Xurkitree was a chance finding as Toyman was originally from Alola and made friends with it while getting trapped in a cave as a young child. It represents his love of circuitry and electricity well enough.
Optionally is also a Rockruff, for the childhood puppy / further connections to Alola.
Thanks for your inquiry! I haven't thought about this AU in like a year, lol.
