I don't fully recall what originally prompted this - probably a discussion with @shyyren tbh - but found this among my lists! Basically trying to consider if the other legendkeepers had ended up in Ritsu's shoes in Legends: Arceus - specifically being banished from Jubilife Village.
[Image text: I wrote out 'how the legendkeepers cast react to Kamado's Banishment in PLA' can I copypaste that here to share?]
Satsuki - hurt, teary, 'I worked hard, I didn't do anything wrong here, this isn't fair' type of angle. Takes being escorted with some grace but is Dissatisfied with the outcome
Ren - 'haha wow Kamado you had me going, didn't take you for a prankster b-- oh. Oh you're serious. Oh, mb. ......can I at least take my gear with me on my way out?' Handles being escorted compliantly enough
Aya - pulls Rex on Rose level violence, but gets Thrown since Kamado has far more years of training. Takes the escort kicking and screaming the whole way
Maciel - shoots some counter retorts, may stare down Kamado for a moment before giving up on it. Storms out
Touya - Disappointed™️ in Kamado. It doesn't change anything but Kamado walks away somehow feeling lowkey chastised even if Touya doesn't argue too much against it /silly. Takes the escort with no complaints so long as they let him get the egg gear and eggs bc you Know he'd introduce this concept Immediately
Lena - either slaps or just hits him once across the face*. Expresses that he is a terrible leader, to make such a decision when it has proven time and again that working together is The Solution - including alongside pokemon. Leaves without further fuss but has clearly lost respect for Kamado.
Kimmie - v loud, full of disbelief and indignant at this turn of events. Might make a comment about how following superstitions won't get them anywhere. Fussy about being escorted out but goes with it
Xav - meets Kamado with a deadeye stare from start to finish. Leaves without a word.
Rex - see Aya above. Only slightly less feral as he's escorted out
Aspen - if he makes it this far? Cries. Leaves village still crying
Natsumi - seems mildly inconvenienced and leaves without much fuss (is actually a lot more upset than they let on)
*I do think with Kamado's training she wouldn't normally get one in, BUT - Lena also does not seem like the type to do this in the slightest (unlike Aya or Rex) so I figure she gets one in on the grace of it being so out of nowhere.
Bonus round since this prompt predates a few of the cast:
Sumire - Like Aspen, may not get this far (though she'd get furthest out of the ones who Wouldn't)- but if she does, starts crying mixed with an anxiety attack, but is also angry in the midst of all that. Wants to retort or make some well-thought out point like the others but it most likely gets lost in stuttering and sobbing, unfortunately. Lets herself get escorted just calmly enough to barely hold back further sobbing/hyperventilating.
Dust - would likely get further than Aspen, but again is unlikely to get this far. If they do, they're stunned speechless for most of the Commander's decree. Most likely the type to be like "you can't do this to me" once she finds her words - not necessarily in an aggrandizing fashion, but definitely wasn't expecting this, with some level of pleading mixed in. Leaves the village in a state of shock, moving slowly and likely has to be urged to hurry up.
Troy - she gives Commander Kamado an icy stare through it all - and most likely had seen this coming. Is not surprised, but is still very bitter. She likely makes a sharp comment about the village getting on without her help, and is annoyed at the escort because it holds her back from leaving in a huff if anything.
Realistically, I think the people least likely to get through the PLA plot far enough to reach this point include Aspen, Dust, Touya, Ren, and Sumire - in approximate order of who'd drop out soonest. Several of them (Aspen, Dust and Touya) are not really serious battlers/trainers without the right influences, and even those who do (Ren and Sumire) either don't quite meet challenge levels as readily/easily as other champions do, and/or may not be suited to the trials Hisui specifically offers.
