Welcome to Ask Fishy Keldeo! This story will follow a Keldeo as they search for new Swords of Justice after the original disappear.
Please note that this takes place in the same universe as Ask Witchy Braixen and Family Mewtters, just in a different region and (possibly) at a different time! So there won’t be any character or story overlap, but there will be some lore overlap!
Rules:
1. Outside of the tumblr TOS, I ask that you’re at least 14 to interact with this blog. While there will be no nsfw, there may be some PG-13 content.
2. Just be kind and patient. This is just a blog meant for fun. This blog will be more written than anything else, so asks will likely be done a bit quicker.
3. I don’t mind if you ask multiple questions, but they may all not get answered right away. Humans, Pokemon, and Fakemon (basically anything in a Pokemon context) are allowed on here!
4. Fanart and character interactions are very much encouraged and will be cherished! I also will do my best to respond to them and possibly even draw my own fanart!
If you wanna do any character interaction for story or plot purposes, feel free to dm me!
Most of the characters on this blog will be adults!
5. Feel free to be goofy and weird.
Things To Keep In Mind:
- The names and lore of regions might be different. Keldeo is aware of and understands these differences, but others will likely not
- Humans are assumed to be regional primate pokemon. It is encouraged to roll with this assumption. Keldeo and other legendaries will be aware of humans though.
- Don’t go around causing too much trouble or upset to the local Pokemon, or else you may be booted from the universe by Hoopa.
- Legendaries and mythicals are encouraged to keep themselves disguised around unknowing mortals to avoid upset/shock. Some may be able to get away with being mistaken for a normal pokemon. There’s also a chance that they’ll be given an illusion disguise by otherworldly forces.
It’s almost completely dark now, only a sliver of sun is visible from the skyline. Not like you could even see it through the deep thicket of the forest. You thank your lucky wishing star that the strange bioluminescent fungi provides you with some light.
You really should be kicking yourself in the butt right now. Maybe if you had accepted that map earlier, you’d already be in Ballonlea. But nooo, you “knew the way” and now you were stuck ass backwards deep in a creepy forest where ghost and dark types thrive. As you push your way through the thicket, you see a strange looking Pokemon. Is that a… misdreavus? Strange, you didn’t think that they were native here.
It seems to be talking to itself. You can’t make out exactly what it says, but you know that it’s speaking a human language? You can make out a few words, such as “My…name…Missy”. So you suppose that’s their name!
Don’t wanna go into everything, but TLDR is that I was in the hospital for surgery that I’m still recovering from and my mom is now in the hospital for at least the weekend with something serious. Haven’t been able to go to work and any amount would help right now.
"Mrow! Another green "masked' feline? Myahiiii!" she waves at him with a purring smile, albeit a bit curious.
"Nice to meet mya! I'm Bella! I don't think I was in Unova's big city of Castelia before, but I've heard good things about it. Why are you traveling here, mye he...?"
Harmony: May I say that you’re as lovely as your namesake? My name is Natural Harmonia, but you may call me Harmony.
*Harmony shifted to close their bag and return the strap to around their shoulder. They looked upon the large bridge in front of them. He put his paw over their eyes in order to shield them from the harsh light.*
Harmony: You’re not quite in Castelia City yet, but it is merely a bridge cross away. It’s quite the amazing feat! I would love to meet the Pokémon who created such a marvel. I read that it was one of the first structures built after the Hollow Civil War.
*The Pokémon was pulled away from their rambling by Bella’s next question. They chuckled a bit in realization at what they had been doing.*
Harmony: My apologies, I tend to lose myself in anything related to this great region. You could say that I am traveling to Castelia City for diplomatic reasons. I’ve been told that it’s preferable to stay “under the radar” for now, so please forgive my vagueness, but I see no issue in mingling a little bit!

*You find a strange hole in the middle of the woods. As you try to take a closer look, two heads pop out! It’s Taffy!*
Taffy: Hello everyone! Wanna help me dig?
*You’re utterly confused by the sight. Wasn’t she in a void earlier? You ask her why in the world she’s possibly digging now??*
Taffy: It’d be more fun as a game, wouldn’t it?

"Hello, fellow Sword of Justice!" She greets with a bow with a Sword of Justice. "I heard about this "Hollow Civil Way", and I would say - that's very unfortunate. And sadly, we do have something similar going in Kalos too.
I have a question - how the Tao trio were in the slumber? I'm kind of surprised you can communicate with them. Maybe, via some sort of a psychic energy, like I do with the great Vivienne and Mortimer?"
Keldeo: Yes, the Hollow Civil War was both a sad and scary time for many Pokémon. It split families and friends alike, either through death or taking opposite sides during the war. Luckily, the great gods were able to end it and the swords of justice helped rebuild the shattered region.
As for how I am able to communicate with them… I’m afraid that I am not fully sure about that. I just get this…dizzying feeling one moment and then the next, I am within a void of some sort communicating with them. I would assume that it could be similar to how you talk with your deities. Sadly, I am not let in on everything when it comes to my fello-
*Keldeo was interrupted by the sound of wings flapping and a loud “thud” as something hit the ground. Looking in the direction of the sound, they see a bird pokemon with a strange transportation device. Keldeo gleamed in excitement and trotted over to the Pokémon in order to greet them.*
Keldeo: Corvid, my friend! It’s wonderful to see you once again! And yes, we shall be requesting more taxis! It seems as if I have a small entourage for this adventure!
Corvid: I’ll get right on it buddy, but uh… they’re gonna have to pay. I’m only giving you a free ride as a favor.
Keldeo: But of course! We shall “settle the tab” as they say once we all reach our destination!
*Corvid shrugged in response. That’s how taxis normally worked, right? He flew up to the top of the taxi and sat on the metal bar, preparing to take off into the sky. Keldeo took their place in the taxi with a few other Pokemon. Keldeo waved out the window as they
Keldeo: Farewell friends! I shall see you in Castelia City!
Keldeo has left for Castelia City and will be temporarily unavailable for asks!
Why don’t we take a look at another who’s making their own journey to Castelia City?
Harmony is now temporarily available for questions!
Griffin gazed down silently at Keldeo. "... You're strong. Too strong, maybe..." Unfortunate memories flickered in their mind, making them concerned about if the one in front of them had gone through the same. They tilted their head. "Mythical... How long have you lived for? How long did you train for...?"
*Keldeo clenched their teeth and shuffled a bit at the Deciueye’s words. It seems like they had hit a bit of a sore subject for them.*
Keldeo: I’d appreciate if you kept any speculation about my worthiness as a legendary to yourself.
*However, upon looking into this young Pokémon’s eyes, they saw something…familiar. An emotion that they had felt once before. Keldeo took a deep breath to calm themselves. Their expression softened as they studied the young one.*
Keldeo: My apologies… it seems that you were not making that comment out of malice.
As for your question, I am roughly 300 years old. I had been raised by the Swords since I was nearly a year old, and trained since I was around five. However, I didn’t begin my transition into a legendary until I was a teenager.
Would you believe that I am still a mere young adult when compared to other legendaries?
“—Zz-rk! K-Kel—deo!” Barnaby yelps, darting around frantically.
They stop abruptly, noticing the Keldeo’s curious appearance.
“BZZT! W—whaT a-A DAZZling! A—Appearance! Zzt!”
The Rotom starts darting around Keldeo so fast they become a blur.
“—ZZT! I COUld USE—Zzt—THis For— Aa NEW me—menu Item—Bzzt!”
The Rotom grows so excited they’re speech starts to become unintelligible.
*Keldeo could help but begin to chuckle at the Rotom’s erratic movements and overall excitement. It seemed as if the last lingering pieces of sadness and grief left them. Even if just for a moment.*
Keldeo: Why thank you for the compliments! I suppose one could describe my appearance as “dazzling”, hmm?
*Keldeo cocked their head at the mention of a menu item. It wasn’t like the concept was completely new to them. One could say that it came with the territory of being a legendary. They have seen art, literature, and even a plushie based off them, but not food before.*
Keldeo: You wish to base a food item off me? Well, I don’t suppose that would do any harm! You have my blessings, spunky Rotom!
Keldeo: I appreciate your condolences. While I miss them so, I take pride in carrying on their legacy.
*Keldeo smiled at Johanna’s observation and nodded in confirmation. Of course they politely watch Johanna’s transformation before speaking. They looked upon her transformation in amazement.*
Keldeo: Well, I must admit that I would not imagine you as a Samurott, but it fits you well young Keldeo! As for me, I take upon the form of a full Vaporeon for when I wish to “blend in”, as they say. I also have a “special form” that I rarely take on, but I think you may enjoy…
*Keldeo’s horn shone a bright blue light before overtaking their whole body. After a moment, the light died down and reveled that Keldeo had changed forms!*
Keldeo: Quite interesting, isn’t it? Some legendaries prefer to take on a more bipedal form similar to you!
Now that Taffy has been introduced, she is now open to be sent out for questions! If you’d like a question and little treat, please comment below! Be sure to specify which character you’d like and their preferred flavors please!
You come across what seems to be a Girafarig conversing with their tail(?). An alluring smell invites you closer to them. Spotting an oven not too far away from them, you begin wonder what they are cooking and how the oven is even working without it being visibly plugged into something.
Unable to contain his excitement any longer, the lucario jumps in the air. He seemed to jump a little higher than any normal mon would. After touching the ground he skitters around excitedly before stopping and saluting.
You can count on me! Oh! I'm Phil by the way!
*Something about the presence and heroic nature of this Lucario made Keldeo feel quite nostalgic. It reminded them of a time long passed. One that they look upon with a melancholy joy, but still more joyful than sad. Keldeo couldn’t help but snort a bit in amusement as Phil saluted them, but moved to straighten themselves and give the young fighting type a quick salute back.*
Keldeo: Haha! I’m glad that I’ll be able to rely upon you young Phil! I’m sure that this adventure shall live up to your expectations!
