Which of the Nobels is the most friendly with Emmet? And which is the least friendly?
Wyrdeer is the most friendly with Emmet, for sure. He thinks Emmet’s a bit odd, as does everyone, but he can tell he means no harm. Out of all the ride Pokémon, he’s the one Emmet talks to the most (and has given him advice on how to best use those new legs of his). I see Wyrdeer as having a bit of a kind, but stern Grandfatherly personality. So, while I left it kind of vague the conversation he had with Emmet in Wayward Cave pt 1 included advice on how to navigate the strained relationship between him and Ingo. Of course, it ended up not mattering so much once Ingo told him he wanted Emmet to come with!
As for the least friendly noble, that’s easily Sneasler. No question. The other nobles are suspicious of him to varying degrees, but Sneasler is the only one outright hostile to him. It’s a consequence of being overprotective of Ingo, because Emmet’s interest in him activates those mamma weasel instincts, lol. Someday they will hopefully have a heart-to-heart and come to an understanding of some kind, but that has yet to happen. It’s a shame really, because if Emmet hadn’t come to Hisui looking like…. That, Sneasler would likely have become just as attached to him as she was with Ingo.
As I’ve said previously, Emmet has yet to meet any of the non-ride nobles, but I can give a few tid-bits on how they would likely treat him:
Kleavor: Suspicious of Emmet, but careful not to say anything too accusatory just in case Emmet really is Master Arceus. Often the level-headed voice of reason among the stronger personalities of the other nobles.
Lilligant: Actually quite likes him and believes Emmet is Arceus without question. This means that she doesn’t see him as Emmet, though, but it works out better for him than if she were suspicious, I suppose.
Arcanine: Arcanine is new to this whole “being a Noble” thing, so he’s a little nervous around Emmet since he’s only had limited experience with Arceus to begin with. It’s like if your professor was replaced with a different, but highly similar person on the second day of classes. Do you say anything or do you just go with it? Arcanine just goes with it.
Electrode: Electrode doesn’t trust Emmet farther than they can throw him, which isn’t very far considering they don’t have hands. They aren’t particularly appreciative of Emmet’s treatment of Melli, even though they know their Warden kind of deserves it. They’re the most likely to raise objections to decisions made in Emmet’s favor.
Avalugg: Avalugg is more or less unconcerned with the whole situation. The way he sees it, whether or not Emmet is Arceus doesn’t affect their responsibilities, so it’s pointless to argue over it until he does something that warrants their attention. For now, Emmet is just Vibing, so Avalugg doesn’t see much reason to question the decision-making process of his Almighty Creator.
