I am FASCINATED by your latest post (at the time of sending this ask) where Ingo is a giant bat and Emmet is a warden, and unless tumblr is being fucky you don't seem to have shared more about it so [puts chin on hands] tell me more? please? if you have more, at least. If you're still thinking about it you can always answer this ask later, no pressure :)
[kicks open door after months of inactivity] HI HELLO YES ID LOVE TO TALK ABOUT BROTHER BAT!
This is one of the Many aus I have where ingo is turned into a pokemon- that image is actually. Something of a sequel to the story I want to write, but as I have not written anything for the first part. It uh. Currently just stands on its own haha. (That does mean I might not fully explain things!)
(ramble under the cut)
Ingo and emmet are in huisi for this one! I love putting them both in the past <3 Emmet was found in a space time distortion (though the pearl clan was a little worried about how unstable this particular one was) and, seemingly exhausted, mildly delirious from the cold, and lacking much of any memories, emmet breaks away from the rescue party to look for his brother.
Unfailingly, he stumbled towards a Huge Mass of Bat and very lovingly nudges the alpha awake:
“Ingo,” he gently shook to huge form, “Ingo Ingo- brother please-“
Something shifted, an ear twitching at his voice. The body shifted as a head moved to look at him with a huge red eye.
“Brother,” Emmet sighed in relief, “we- we gotta get up. Can you get up? It’s- it’s cold we gotta go.”
The beast blinked, eye focusing on his face, and suddenly- between one blink and the next- the eye became grey.
The Pearl clan is, understandably, very worried! But emmet is very confident and, if irida in game is any indication, the clan does form familial ties to Pokémon that grow up with them. They assume emmet must have a connection to this gliscor that would be cruel to sever- and the gliscor seems to deliberately be as gentle as possible. (Emmet collapses at some point of the trek back to the clan, and ingo catches him and carries him the rest of the way. Most concerns are eased at the sight of the huge bat curling up beside the medical yurt- perking up at any sign of news about his brother.)
Hm… I’m not sure what else to say here. Obviously they become wardens, though Sneasler does seem rather confused about ingo (most pokemon are) and any wild Gligar and gliscor tend to flit away at the sight of ingo. He doesn’t seem to mind much. Emmet’s own team are chill with him, but ingo generally much prefers the presence of his brother to anyone else.
He does battle! Not ah… well. or with proper pokemon moves. But he does! Emmet will not order him in battle though- it feels wrong to both of them. they will cheer for one another though <3
the distortions cause ingo a bit of grief. he doesn't... frenzy. but he is rather reactive and is prone to lashing out without realizing in them. the red sky itself is actually fine for him though! beyond the Pressure everyone feels, he doesn't feel worse than normal. if anyone were to understand him, he'd say that the distortions create this ear piercing ringing- makes it feel like he needs to claw out his own brain. (we call that a migraine, Ingo) (emmet, while worried, has the feeling this is not new behavior)
i think... that's it for general stuff. feel free to ask more! (in fact, please do! ive been meaning to draw more of these train men and this is a perfect opportunity lol) not only do questions make me think about them, it also helps me buff out the narrative a lot lol. (which may mean more of the fic...)
