#litten's narrative

[soulmatesoflight-pkmnau]

Species: Toxtricity (Low Key form)

Gender: Male

OT: Hope

Nature: Bold

Location: Hatched in Vermilion City, Kanto

Poké Ball type: Ultra Ball

Moveset:

Overdrive

Poison Jab

Boomburst

Thunder (learned in "Therapy at the Park")

Hold item: Silk Scarf

--

Hope's Toxtricity is the most powerful Pokémon in her team when it comes about special attacks. Aware of his powerful vocal cords, partially thanks to the Punk Rock ability, she encourages his singing abilities in battle by giving him a Silk Scarf to wear on his right forearm.

Although his signature move is Overdrive, Toxtricity can also use Thunder as it is illustrated. The forced evolution caused by a thief that Pokénapped him in "Finding Toxel" fanfic made his intellect not match to his grown body, but he matures with the course of time. He's particularly close to Hope's Litten, sharing a bond comparable to siblings.

It took me nearly five months, but it’s one more fanfic text fully revised: Litten’s Narrative’s “Therapy at the Park” chapter is now updated in its version 1.2!

I did several significant dialogue and scene changes as well improved the English.

I have no predictions about when I will revise the 5th chapter (The Flame of Battling) but once it happens I’ll let you know!

Enjoy the reading! ✨

-----------------

What’s Litten’s Narrative?

Litten’s Narrative begun as a pilot project of my alternative Pokéverse in early 2020 through the fanfic ”A Change of Routine” and later it became a subseries of Soul(mate)s of Light. It’s about a Litten describing the boys’ interactions with her own point of view as a Pokémon. I picked up a little bit of inspiration by the Detective Pikachu videogame and movie and earlier scenes in Ash Ketchum’s animé saga where we had focused screentime in Pikachu and other Pokémon species interacting with each other and us, spectators, being able to understand their talks.

It contains six stories that work like extra Pokémon Journeys episodes, happening inbetween official stories, exploring Ash and Goh’s late childhood a little further as well introducing some AU lore.

Other Soul(mate)s of Light & Litten’s Narrative texts already revised/updated:

It Was You All This Time (+6000 words)

A Change of Routine (+24000 words)

Finding Toxel (+19000 words)

The Foreigner (+19000 words)

Another Step (+11000 words)

To be yet revised somewhere in 2026, by order:

The Flame of Battling

Tropical Re-Encounters (Q3 2026)

One more fanfic text was just finished to be revised: Litten's Narrative's "The Foreigner" chapter is now updated in its version 1.4!

I did plenty of significant dialogue and scene changes, improved the English and took the opportunity to include Gen. XIX lore in it.

I have no predictions about when I will revise the 4th chapter (Therapy at the Park) but once it happens I'll let you know!

haruka, what website did you use for your fanfiction littens narrative? im ready to start writing my fanfic after a year :]

It's available for reading at Archive Of Our Own 3 website! It's very nice for fanfics and it's where I launched that pilot series that helped to shape the Soul(mate)s of Light. 😄

[soulmatesoflight-pkmnau]

Soul(mate)s of Light: A SatoGou AU - Master Post

“Friends yesterday, lovers today, soulmates forever.” — Unknown author

“There are no accidental meetings between souls.” — Sheila Burke

“A soulmate is an ongoing connection with another individual that the soul picks up again in various times and places over lifetimes.” — Edgar Cayce

“Important encounters are planned by the souls long before the bodies see each other.” — Paulo Coelho

What’s this about and how did it start?

Soul(mate)s of Light is a Pokémon alternative universe that began as a casual play in early 2020 when we were all stuck home in the Covid-19 curfew and I was finding ways to spend time, inspired by the high chemistry between Ash and Goh in the series that were airing in Japan back then, and wondering about an alternative timeline where the two boys’ friendship actually evolved into a platonic love.

Based in that principle, the first fanarts and fanfiction text (”A Change of Routine”) were created, the latter being a Litten describing the boys’ interactions with her own point of view as a Pokémon. I picked up a little bit of inspiration by the Detective Pikachu videogame and movie and earlier scenes in Ash Ketchum’s animé saga where we had focused screentime in Pikachu and other Pokémon species interacting with each other and us, spectators, being able to understand their talks.

“A Change of Routine” was originally planned to be the only fanfiction text I would write about Ash and Goh, but the positive receptions I received from the story encouraged me to create more, evolving into a series I would call “Litten’s Narrative”. This fanfiction series and the concept art of the Solgaleo and Lunala wedding tuxedos I’ve first drawn in Summer 2020 were pilot projects with potential to create an alternative universe with intertwined stories and lore, while respecting the most elements as possible from the actual Pokémon animé canon, yet with the possibility of doing references videogame, mangá and other obscure media lore. 

Inspired by my passion for the Alola region lore, the Light Duo of Legendary Pokémon and by my research on a real Hawaiian belief that every human being carries an animal messenger inside their souls from birth until death, Soul(mate)s of Light came to be. It contains detailed character profiles in Toy.House, concept arts, illustrations, comic strips and fanfiction texts.

Litten’s Narrative was planned to contain ten stories in total, but due to a decreasing number of feedback and readers, rise of popularity of my comic strips, and writter’s block combined I decided to close in early 2021 this subseries that are integral to Soul(mate)s of Light with just six stories that I like to treat them like extra Pokémon Journeys episodes (because we could have had many more animated stories if it wasn’t for the pandemic messing up with the production team’s budget and human resources).

My alternative universe had no specific naming until the Pokémon Journeys animé arc ended in 16th December of 2022 in Japan. The title refers to Ash and Goh’s Pokémon Spirits of Solgaleo and Lunala, respectively, whose Pokémon are known as the Light Duo; and also refers to the romantic relationship between the two characters. 

---------------

What should I read first? I want to read everything by order or starting at a specific timeline.

Considering how big the AU became I’ve created this Master Post to guide readers about what’s the chronological timeline of each content. Updates are done silently from time to time and I plan to gradually include a link to the this post to each individual post for an easier tracking.

--------------- 

Some drawings look inconsistent, is this normal?

Yes. The earliest contents were created between Spring and Summer of 2020 and since then I’ve evolved a lot my graphic style and quality standards. I can’t guarantee that all old content will see redrawn versions as it will depend on many factors including whenever those contents are still part of the canon or not!

---------------

What does it means “To be revised to [x] version” in the links to fanfiction texts?

Because Litten’s Narrative series was the pilot project of Soul(mate)s of Light, its non-revised content is pretty dated. My AU lore and quality standards changed a lot with the course of time as well my writing skills, and as such it feels necessary for me to go through the old texts again to fix both the stories and weird grammar. I hope that everything is revised by the end of Summer 2026, without strict deadlines.

--------------------------

One or more links don’t work, can you fix this?

Yes, please send me a private message or reply to this Master Post while identifying the problem and I’ll fix the soonest possible.

--------------------------

When does the  “And So The Adventure Begins” comic strip gets continued?

I’m well aware that comic has been through a 2-year hiatus, but a lot of things happened in my personal life that affected my mental health by the time I did the last update. Additionally, I defined that updating my oldest content (fanfic texts) was my top priority. Given these texts have been all updated by the time of writing this, I prefer to assure all conditions are gathered so I can continue and finish that story with minimum quality standards. I thank for your understanding and patience in advance!

--------------------------

I’m interested in following alternative artworks you make, is there a place I can see them?

Yes! Just follow my main blog

[soulmatesoflight-pkmnau]

This reference sheet was kept on hold since late Summer and today I’ve finally finished it! Originally, I wanted only to make a few faces but as time went on and the drawings were still on WIP I ended adding interactions with Ash, Goh and Chloe and finalizing with a wink to 123′s most recent opening song 🙂. For the latter I wanted to make it in green tones but it was being really difficult to find a balanced pallet so I ended doing in purple because it was fitting better.

Hope isn’t as known as Destiny by my tumblr followers so for those who are unfamiliar with the character, she’s an OC I created last year as part of a SatoGou fanfiction series of AO3 named “Litten’s Narrative”! The series belong to the same AU of my comics and other written texts and happen in the same timeline of the Journeys animé, with each text functioning as an “extra episode”.

The 6th chapter is currently under development by the time of posting this artwork with predicted release in Spring 2021. I plan to finish the series by the end of this year with no more than 10 chapters in total. For now the five first texts can be read in the website and they recently went through grammar fixes, few alterations to improve the overall reading experience, to be more on par on my current AU lore and to implement relevant canon elements that we figure out the more episodes come out in Japan.

And to sum up about the OC: This girl was born in Alola, at Ula’ula Island and lived in Malie City until late 10-years old. A grave accident put her dreams at risk shortly after she moved to Kanto region. One day, her Litten was missing and she gets surprised that one of the people who found her was her birthland’s Champion! Little Hope knew that the friendship she would develop with Ash, Goh and Chloe would be the key to get her dreams back! She’s loyal, rebellious, daring, straightforward and a music-passionate Trainer with unexplored potential. ^^

Hope becomes Ula’ula’ Island’s Kahuna in adulthood, entrusted by the retired Nanu. 10-year old Destiny faces her during her Island Challenge!

Howdy! I’ve been quiet lately with new drawings because I’ve been focused lately to give a new push to my fanfiction series.

After a delay of two months, the first part of Litten Narrative’s chapter 6 is now available for reading! If I’m productive enough, the second part will be ready by Spring. I thank to everyone’s patience and bravery to read such long SatoGou texts!

[soulmatesoflight-pkmnau]

After 327 years mashing on my keyboard, underestimating the time I would take to write up a new text, it’s finally ready! Litten’s Narrative has got a fifth chapter and this is the illustration I’ve done for it, adding some new elements. :)

It can be read in Archive of Our Own. A sixth text should eventually appear later this year. But for now I should return to the comic strips!
