Pokemon AU - Siffrin’s Journey
throws this and flees* IM FINALLY DONE !!! (Dw to glitched pokemon can be seen in this post <33 if you wanna skip my wall of yap you’re free to do so tehee <333 (unless you can already see it in which case idk ??? )
Anyway!!!! Siffrin has six pokemon- two of which come from the forgotten island. However, Siffrin can only consistently remember (and see) Pixie, because of reasons I’ll get into once I talk about that one…
But Pixie! She was, in fact, Siffrin’s starter, which might have been obvious. Like I’ve said before, Pixie doesn’t remember anything from the forgotten island. Only that, when they wake up washed up on a shore, she knows that the person laying next to her unconscious is her family. Pixie has a very friendly snd cheerful personality, but also notices how Siffrin seemed to be drifting through their travels. It had her worried, and her small form often frustrated her when she felt like she couldn’t protect him.
Mismagius was the second first pokemon he caught on his own! Siffrin befriended her when they got stuck in a cursed forest they couldn’t leave from :) Anyway, while stuck in the forest, Siffrin stumbled upon a makeshift stage where the Mismagius was performing using miscellaneous sticks, stones and old clothes left behind. I had a thought about how Siffrin had to learn a whole entire language from plays which probably meant there was a point in his life where he felt frustrated he couldn’t enjoy the plays like everyone- because everything felt foreign, yet none of the plays ever resonated with him. Maybe it was strange, but somehow they could understand a wordless play made by a strange pokemon more than any of the others at that point. Siffrin was obviously a captive audience, which is how they befriended our lovely Mismagius! I figured having a more positive ghost pokemon could also reflect Siffrin in a way- there is light in darkness, ect ect. Siffrin might not have been exactly ”happy”, but there were still times they felt joy <333
Ironically, after leaving the cursed foresy (which Siffrin landed in via drifblim) Siffrin ended up catching a drifblim which strangely decided not to follow the rest of the drifblim swarm. Also, how convenient would it have been to simply fly out of the cursed forest? Siffrin’s been taking notes okay?? Also… just drifblim’s whole thing… I talked about it in my whole ”travel” post so I wont repeat myself here but the gist of it is haha Siffrin’s depression :) and homesickness :) and the fact that their home is unreachable so they’re drifting :)
Nnnnext is the iconic Honedge!! Which Siffrin stabbed a pokemon with!!!
Siffrin found honedge in sort of a strange place. Usually, Honedge are found in old castles or battlefields due to people who become them, but Honedge was actually found left out in a dirty old cave. It’s soul, a failed knight, had lots of regrets in life. They wished to serve a noble cause, yet their cowardice always kept them from succeeding in their goal. The knight traveled from place to place, from group to group, but they became content in the stillness of searching. In the end, though, they die in an unremarkable, pathetic way- injured by a sadness, they got lost and bled out, as they were never particularly good at healing craft nor prepared for any real fight.
…anyway tldr: soul of a knight afraid of change wishes to repent by being someone’s sword, if only to be useful to someone. Siffrin doesn’t really know how to feel about this, but they sympathize with the soul of the Honedge, so they take them along, and they become friends! They have an arrangement where they can be really BAMF & kick ass with the combined power of a rouge and a sharp haunted sword, and neither of them need change! Honedge is totally high level enough to evolve, but they don’t. Why would they need to? Everything’s going so well now! It’s not like Siffrin needs TWO swords for any reason…. Nor two eyes
AAAH anyway uhhh Mimikyu!!!!! They are last caught member of the party <333 Mimikyu approached Siffrin while they were sleeping and stole their hat because their disguise was broken and they couldn’t fix it themselves. Which leads to Siffrin patchibg up Mimikyu’s disguise in return for their hat and of course, Mimikyu joins them afterwards. Also, Mimikyu’s the most eager to battle. Lastly, both Mimikyu and Siffrin crave attention & love & care. Deeply and desperately. To the point of pretending. Need I say more.
Oh yeah, you didn’t think I forgot about the glitched pokemon, did you? Sorry for holding it over your head for so long, (lowkey feel like a youtuber putting the important bit at 10 minutes.. ) but here they are!!!
Nihilego! My baby! My little monster! My little unhealthy attachment style pokemon! They are so precious to me <333
Okay so to explain: Nihilego is the other pokemon from the island. The reason Nihilego ”glitches” is because Nihilego are actually completely made from wishcraft frol the island- Unlike Pixie, whose kind still exists in other faraway parts the world, meaning Pixie’s existance isn’t ”tied” to the island in the same way. The people of the Forgotten island aren’t technically ”tied” to it either- which is why those who weren’t in the island’s ”domain” were spared. In any case, Nihilego was found and subsequently rescued by Siffrin & Pixie, which in turn led to Nihilego becoming fiercely protective in their own way.
Nihilego isn’t really ”sentient” in the way humans (nor most intellegent pokemon) are, but they can feel feelings- feelings which they can act upon childishly, which isn’t usually so bad except for the fact that they’re y’know. Full of neurotoxin.
When Siffrin left the island, their pokemon naturally followed, but The Thing happend. Afterwards, Nihilego’s existance became as fleeting as Siffrin’s memories of the island. They’re always aware of this. Not doing wonders for their mental heath. They want Siffrin’s attention- Pixie’s attention- by any means necessary.
Also, Nihilego remembers the loops. They are the only pokemon who remember the loops.
Anyway, did you know jellyfish suddenly showing up marks the death of an ecosystem? Because they thrive in waters that are completely inhabitable to most others? Just somenthing I was thinking about <3 What kind of wish makes neurotoxin jellyfish anyway???
Anyway im finally going to sleep i think GOOD NIGHT. Probably not much in the tags because i an Tired. But anyway haha byeeeeee <3333
