Ok, I told myself I wouldnt make a pokemon/ninjago au.
BUT if I did, itd be set during the time period of legends arceus and the location would be in hoenn, since its got the most diverse environments like ninjago (huge ocean, little islands, caves, desert, volcano, forests, grasslands etc etc etc) but also-
Its home to rayquaza. A green dragon. Green ninja.
Lorekeeper. Draconid people. Wu and garmadon forming the dragon tribe??? Or perhaps they WERE but then went their seperate ways and wu is rebuilding his ninja clan or whatever
The first meteor would not have hit sootopolis, but the lore of rayquaza stopping primal kyogre and groudon would be known. Tales of someone being destined to wish for Lord rayquaza's return in order to save the world from certain doom....
Finding the "weapons of creation" actually is them finding their dragon pokemon. In a world where most humans are still afraid of pokemon
Cole: gible (or trapinch?)
Zane: frigibax
Jay: mareep (or first half of dracozolt?? Jay runs into a space time distortion???)
Kai: charmander
Nya: magikarp
Lloyd: treecko
"Unlocking their true potential" perhaps could be some sort of "ash greninja" form? Or just simply mega evolution. Regardless its the bond between the ninja and their pokemon partner being completely in sync.
Maybe theyd have another pokemon partner? Kai has his dads growlithe, nya oshawott, cole cubone, jay either minun or pachirisu, zane alolan vulpix, lloyd eevee or...riolu? Pancham? Or....kubfu 👀 (actually wait that one fits)
I havent thought of wu or garmadons pokemon or dragons. Maybe dragonite wu and salamence garmadon? Hold on what if they both have an urshifu????
Eventually the ninja become wardens to the regions noble pokemon....maybe a "hisuian" form to the pokemon based on their animal symbols (and maybe their parents were wardens before them. Plotline where the noble pokemon go missing...)
Cole: rillaboom
Zane: absol (or lycanroc?)
Jay: octillery
Kai: pyroar
Nya: altaria
Lloyd: drampa
Oh and uhhh. Nya kyogre. cole groudon. Cough. Tsunami duo almost destroying the world. Dont ask how we got there, i wouldnt know. Something possession something red and blue orbs something. Idk itd be funny to see them fight.
Gah while we are here, the ninja and their special connections to a legendary pokemon GO
Cole: groudon
Zane: kyurem
Jay: zekrom
Kai: reshiram
Nya: kyogre
Lloyd: rayquaza
Ive been sitting on that one. Idc if the tao trio doesnt make sense in hoenn. If the fricking genie quartet can be in sinnoh then i can do this.
Ohohoho I just realized the xerneas wu and yveltal garmadon connection. Beings of life and death. Mmmmm tasty.
And bc im silly, the serpentine are human/snake pokemon hybrids. (Seviper, anacondra, arbok, serperior, dragonair) Ya i couldnt escape the fusion allegations. I never can escape the fusion allegations...altho i would never rehash the ninjago plotline, but i thought id entertain how the serpentine would be
pythor being a shiny dragonair
Pokemon but have them come off more monster esque since only few people catch pokemon and nobody knows a lot about them. The average person is scared of pokemon but the bonds between people and pokemon are the key to protecting the world or something (and just creating a better world). And what better way to defeat your enemy (pokemon) but by becoming its friend?
Maybe wu would send them on a pokedex quest to understand these creatures. Really dive into those wack pokedex entries. These mfers are the ones that initially wrote them. "It apparently wishes for a travelling companion. Since it was once a human itself, it tries to create one by taking the life of other humans" Oh how do we know that? Stay tuned next episode. Ghost cole? More like gengar co-
Aight, so, Vertin is replaced by Sonnetto, Druvis is replaced by Arcana, Arcana is replaced by Sotheby, Sotheby is replaced by Vertin, Sonnetto is replaced by Schnider, Schnider is replaced by Regulus, Regulus is replaced by X, X is replaced by Mirian, Mirian is replaced by Mr Karson, uh... freaking who am I missing... Forget Me Not is replaced by Medicine Pocket, Medicine Pocket is replaced by Mesmer Jr, Mesmer Jr is replaced by Matilda, Matilda is replaced by Lilya, Lilya is replaced by Marcus, Marcus is replaced by Isolde, Isolde is replaced by Spathodea, Spathodea is replaced by Ezra, Ezra is replaced by Ulu, Ulu is replaced by Desert Flannel, Desert Flannel is replaced by, uh, Eternity, I think you get where this is going.
...I should probably sleep. Have fun with this timeline.
Comrade, what the fuck
My brain had a short circuit reading this and I have no idea what to tell you
I feel like pointing out that our loving, innocent and lovely Sotheby has taken evil doomed Yuri creator Arcana's shoes. Like, can you IMAGINE Sotheby saying "Okay, now today we're going to doom Yuri!" And killing lesbians???
Isolde as Marcus?! Uh, imagine Isolde just walking through the doors with Madam Hoffman with a huge coat and a suitcase. She's about to launch it at someone.
Spathodea as Isolde??? THEN HOW DOES ISOLKANIA PLAY OUT???
My brain is fumbling hold on. Let's go from the beginning before I lose my mind.
So, Sonetto is Vertin. She's the struggling timekeeper (PuppyKeeper, as said by comrade Forgor) with Schneider occupying Sonetto's place. So basically, it's Schneider who takes care of most interactions that need convincing, as she's the most spontaneous of them.
Errr, them trying to convince a silent, weeping lady who speaks in Middle English. She has lost her family and has an air of commanding yet desolation and seems to have a messy divorce with... Let me read again... with MEDICINE POCKET?! Uh, new rare-pair just dropped🔥🔥
Imagine Mirian... Marian? Oh Lord I forgot again. Imagine Marian (I'm sticking to this), a ball of anxiety and trembling fears, being the creator of multiple inventions doomed to fail due to girl failure attraction forces, and having as a kicking companion and another popular ship... X.
X as Regulus having an useless boat filled with inventions and his radio being actually educative but people got tired of his yapping ass with a floating apple by his side.
Vertin as Sotheby is just a spoiled rich lady who likes to presume about her collection of critters. No traumas or anything, she's just a silly girl with a top hat holding a rare carbuncle in her arms. I have no idea who Mr. Karson in this.
Imagine Regulus carrying Mr. Karson through the halls of the Walden muttering curses.
...So another ship would be Sonetto x Matilda (Vertin x Mesmer Jr). That's actually pretty silly ngl.
Lilya girl failure for Sonetto? Huh????
Though, Druvis x Lilya would be Arcana x Marcus? If I think of the popular ships being reversed, this would be a weird ride so I'm just gonna... Not
Sorry comrade I'm so not going to think of anything past those. You're getting kicked out from the silly bar.
Me: Do NOT over-commit yourself to making the chibis even though they are very cute. You always get burned out when you do that. Just do the three you know you want and see where you're at.
... ... ...
Me: Okay, but what if I ALSO made both of my boy Lavellans, and some of my friends' Lavellans and-
I can't stop thinking about the day Eddie Diaz met Ana Flores and Carla mentioned that she had beautiful BLUE EYES and then Eddie corrected her saying it were brown and now I'm eating my elbows because Buck has blue eyes, and Carla told him to follow his heart. Damnit, Carla knows.
So there's this parody version of the song Put Your Head on My Shoulder, where the lyrics instead are "put your legs on my shoulders," and for some godawful reason I just thought about a drunk Izuku singing it to Y/N and now I'm all 😳😳😳
