Thank u anon

[reipx]

YOUR SHEN JIU / QIJIU ART IS SO FUCKING AWESOME <33333333 I LOVE SEEING YOU DRAW THE THEM

Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m so happy 😭😭

[reipx]

I absolutely love the idea of each peak having an assigned type, and you are so real for saying SJ is possessive over his pokemon

I wish I could show you proof, but in my drafts I also gave garchomp for Liu Qingge lmao, I think it’s funny both SJ e LQG have pokemon that immediately come to mind when thinking about them

I still didn’t choose LQG’s whole team,but I had blaziken, garchomp and urshifu already in mind when planning him. I am not sure yet if urshifu is water or dark type, but for now I believe would prefer Single Strike style instead of Rapid Strike style, my opinion can be changed though

I also think he would be the type to have rare pokemon, legendary and mythical included, but I see him valuing strength more than rarity, so he wouldn’t actively hunt for a shiny like SJ, since he has no need to prove his competence

But I think it could happen in two forms, 1. he gets rare pokemon through his status as a noble, being gifted from other nobles that wish for his favor or his family, 2. he hunts for them

This may be cliche, but I think Liu Mingyan would own a milotic, the most beautiful pokemon to the most beautiful girl, but someone gifted them to her instead of herself capturing, like a courting gift you know, instead of writing poems for your intended you gift them a pokemon with breathtaking beauty and say they reminded them of you or something like that, and while I think she would deny the confession, she would keep milotic to herself

I don’t remember if this is canon or not, but I think I read somewhere in-game that only the higher class can own a milotic? I think it was a npc because I can’t find an entry to confirm this

Forgot about Mu Qingfang lmao, I really don’t know which starter he would pick, but I actually have most of his team complete

Audino, for their caring nature and healing capabilities; Hatterene, who has the ability to read minds and emotions, create illusions, and can telepathically talk to patients who have any disabilities/difficulty to communicate; Oranguru, that has so much knowledge about medical plants; Tropius (not sure yet) can grow their favorite fruits on their neck, I think it would be really smart if MQF just fed them medicinal fruits; Shuckle (I know it’s a weird choice, but hear me out) can store medicinal formulas/plants/berries/fruits to make a substance

Not sure about the last slot, I think tropius and shuckle still could be exchanged for one of this options, there is the obvious chansey, there is indeedee (both male and female take diligent care of people and their pokemon), but I also think a gardevoir could be useful, with ability to protect their trainer and predict the future, it would be super easy if gardevoir just told MQF where he would find someone injured, the whole LQG dying thing could be prevented

This is all so good anon omg. I think garchomp works with LQG bc so many of us were scarred by Cynthia‘s Garchomp and LQG —-> undefeated war God ——> fuck u strong dragon that I just couldn’t get past or it took out so many members of the team that I couldn’t last.

He would 100% only have mons that are strong and not really care about getting rare ones. I can see that is something they fight about, LQG really believing that SJ is some spoiled lording because of all the rare mons he has (not realizing how hard SJ had to work to get them ofc)

Urshifu Dark really scratches my brain good for LQG too, I think water is too chill for how uptight LGQ is lol. Mingyan would 💯have a Milotic it matches her so good. Plus I gave her a sylveon and pink + pink works rlly good.

MQF WITH PSYCHIC TYPES YES!!!!!audino ofc makes sense but I love the idea of hatterene being able to help him with disabled patients it’s so awesome . Tropius and Oranguru are good picks too. Shuckle is so funny but also a good pick bc his defenses are so high he could also be used as a bunker for smaller patients in the event of some kind of breach of the peak .the only Mon I had picked out for MQF was Lunala bc of lunar blessing —-> healing plus psychic so it could assist him in surgeries and stuff with telepathy. Also Lunala has good bulk. Idk I just feel like MQF would have a stall team, feels right.

[reipx]

You break me

[reipx]

Uh

[jayktoralldaylong]

SJ: I’m telling you, there is nothing in the seven hells that will make me go on that mission.

Other officials: They took the sect leader!

(Shen Jiu freezes, complexion fading quickly, eyes widened in shock and horror.)

Other officials looking distressed and concerned: They took Sect Leader Yue Qingyuan

(Five seconds later, a villain hideout explodes)

Yue Qingyuan, tied up an in shock: Xiao Jiu?!

Shen Jiu emerges from the smoke, spitting fire with his eyes blazing red and Yue Qingyuan is shocked and horrified that he’d put himself in danger, but also so happy to see that he came.

Yue Qingyuan: Xiao Jiu! ☺️

SJ, frothing and tearing villains up: Yue Qingyuan! You stupid asshole! Of course you got yourself captured. 😤

(Yue Qingyuan blushes with slight shame).

SJ: Now I have to do everything like I always do! Just sit tight you stupid ass, I’m going to save you and then I’m going to beat your ass! 😒👿🔥

YQY: ……….. (Blushing furiously with love )

[reipx]

AHHHH TYSM FOR ADDING THIS ITS SO CUTE

[reipx]

Uh

[reipx]

More qijiu

[reipx]

I’m so obsessed with them

[reipx]

Cycle of violence

[reipx]

wait sorry for flooding your ask box

but you know that theory in pokemon games that only the richer has access to the starters as we know of, while the poorer has starters like rattata or insects we found in earlier routes?

i fully believe that in a xianxia scenario the starters like charmander, popplio, snivy etc etc would be given to the gentry and the disciples of the most renowned cultivation sects

so i believe shen jiu chose snivy as his starter

(i hc liu qingge got a torchic, and i don’t know, yue qingyuan a piplup? for me empoleon fits yue qingyuans sect leader design. shang qinghua a grookey maybe? a little thing with a dumb face that becomes a big buffy monster to protect him, he calls the rillaboom his son. qi qingqi with a fennekin because i think she too would have “feminine” pokemons, and i would give her an ursaluna as her main, and wei qingwei with a litten bc incineroar would slap as a forger/artisan)

(ning yingying with a scorbunny bc a bunny with adhd seems to match her so well, and ming fan with a chespin or a treecko bc he would like to match types with his shizun)

but maybe he got sneasler during his discipleship with wu yanzi, for some reason wu yanzi seems the type to be a dark and poison type trainer, and shen jiu getting a small and injured sneasel from him, one that wu yanzi deemed broken beyond saving so he wouldn’t mind discarding

also, the reason why i gave shen jiu virizion and a shiny espeon is not only because of the connection that all of them could have together, but i was specifically searching for a legendary/mythical and a shiny because i believe he would do anything to get hold of one, so you know, the rest of the gentry wouldn’t doubt his achievements and he could have a self fulfilling sensation that he is better than the rest of them

and please, don’t feel forced to draw all of my thoughts, i just like to yap a lot about pokemon and svsss lol, i hope you have a great day

SJ getting an injured ittle angry sneasel from Wu Yanzi, my heart 😭😭 Anon you have so many good ideas. I love that only the rich have access to starters! YQY getting an Empoleon fits well with his outward calm noble aura he’s got going on. Since I’m extra I’ve assigned types to all the peaks and i have Qiong Ding as steel so that fits so well!!

I actually picked a Aegislash for WQW bc sword, i know that’s kind of basic but I really wanted it lol. But Incineroar + fire type would also work super amazing for the forging peak! + SJ would absolutely fixate on finding as many rare/high status Pokémon as he can to cement his position.

As for LQG i actually picked the Gibel/Garchomp line for him bc i have Bai Zhan as the dragon peak, and Florges for Qi Qingqi bc Xian Shu -> fairy type scratches my brain so good. Plus i love the idea of BZ cultivators being terrified to set foot on XS not bc women but bc they would get absolutely bodied lol.

I think that they could all still totally have those starters on their teams tho, i really love the idea that more rare/powerful Pokémon are locked away from ppl who don’t have the money or status to afford them.

Dw i dont feel pressured at all, ur 1st messaged just gave me this clear image of SJ and his team sitting together listening to him play qin. I was so inspired i had to draw it!! Pls dont feel afraid to yap in my inbox esp about this au trust me i get it lmao I’ve been thinking about it for like 6 months now orz

[reipx]

I AM SCREAMING i didn’t think you would draw my random rambling about pokemon

sorry for the grammar mistakes there, i was so excited to talk about that. i loved your art and updated my slides, now it’s shen jiu’s official team

i noticed just now that “absol” got auto-corrected to absolutely 😭😭😭 but absol is the one i wrote lore the most

think, little a-jiu who just got bought by the qiu’s and a absol is resting in the background, same for when he first met wu yanzi, then when he burned down the qiu estate and became wu yanzi’s disciple, and then when he got luo binghe an absol was lurking around constantly in his peak, especially close when he kicked bingge into the abyss, and finally during huan hua palace arc when he got sent to the water dungeon

while i think this makes sense to happen, i don’t exactly like this choice as one of his pokemon, i don’t know why though haha

but i think shen jiu would both feel somewhat comforted (?) and weirded out to have an absol around, comforted because it’s a constant, weirded out because “why is it always lurking around? get out!”

i also thought a lot about what would happen if shen yuan transmigrated in this universe, and i fully believe his pokemons would be the first’s to notice (cue some hissy pokemon because of their loyalty to shen jiu, but also not that willing to abandon shen yuan because the body is still shen jiu’s)

actually when i was choosing his team i was looking through the pokedex, both shiny and normal, trying to find pokemons that made sense both in lore and appearance, but as you see, sneasler stand out between them, lore-wise sneasler prefers to be alone rather than to be part of a pack (that is the only lore i could find, my child barely has one pokedex entry), but i was too into competitive pokemon when i was doing shen jiu’s slides, from what i remember, my reasoning is that sneasler attacked in a way that reminded me of shen jiu. besides that, sneasler is a core part in a lot of teams, though years ago he wasn’t a popular choice (when legendaries were allowed in every competition, more common pokemons wouldn’t have a chance in battles), just the meta changed and showed how strong he is

!!!!! The part about the absol is so good but so sad 😭😭 just imaging little SJ being cursed with the disaster Pokemon is too fitting. I could definitely see it being a comfort to him when he was young and then it becoming more of a curse as he grows up. since you’re not sure about it being a part of the team it could just be a Pokémon that sort of follows him? Like it’s not officially a part of his team, but it will show up occasionally (ofc always before disaster.) I could see SQQ!SJ Picking up on the correlation and chasing it off every time he sees it, but never be able to actually make it stick. Though this does make me feel a bit bad for absol 😔

While The sneasler doesn’t necessarily fit with the green aesthetic I think he’s a great member to the team due to the poison typing + dire claw. I HC that SJ definitely thinks himself cursed and that extends to everything he touches. That plus the fact that he had nothing of his own growing up contributes to his possessiveness over everything he owns, bc if if he’s ruined it by touching it then why shouldn’t it stay his forever?

AAHHH OMG ur into competitive Pokemon too??? That’s amazing I love VGC 🎉🎉🎉 i’ve never been good enough myself to actually play the official competitive format, but I like to play online in single battles. It’s so fun!!! Yeah I think for regulation H they banned all legendaries and paradox mons so it gave a chance for mons like sneasler and archaludon to really shine. Could be the wrong regulation, though.

Hey i just wanted to say i love your art!!! <3 Quick question: Are you a fan of Scumcum by any chance???

Thank you! And yes, I have been known to enjoy Scumcum from time to time. :)c I even have this sketch I did of them like a year ago lol

[reipx]

i just saw your shen jiu and serperior fan art and i was shocked bc months ago i was doing a powerpoint of pokemon teams my fav chars would have and i picked serperior as shen jiu’s initial pokemon

but i actually chose a shiny espeon as his main, bc i thought also fitted his description, espeons are loyal, majestic and hardworkers, and can predict foes next moves by the wind touching their fur

i didn’t finish the whole team yet bc i didn’t find other pokemons that i’m 100% sure, but i also put absolutely there bc of their connection to disaster and i think it goes along with shen jiu’s antagonist halo

my other options until now are virizion, liligant (i honestly believe at least one of shen jiu’s pokemon would be more feminine), sneasler and sinestea, but i am reading more lore before deciding

i also wrote a trainer description, i believe he would be a grass/psych/fire and occasional dark trainer, he likes to keep aesthetically connected to his pokemons and prefers the loyal, calm and elegant and those who choose to keep their distance of other humans

Anon ur brain is so huge this team for SJ is amazing

[reipx]

Hi sorry if this is cringe but I just wanna ask why do you disappear for so long

I really don’t know how to answer this. Because I have a life?? And a job????? A lot of the time I really don’t want to be online???????
