Based off the ScarVio pokemon trailer that’s set up like the Hisuian Zorua one (yknow the one-)
Wildlife Surveyor Emmet AU
Emmet is researching pokemon in their natural Paldean habitat for the Profs Sada and Turo (he offered to catch them for their research, Prof Sada suplexed him to get it into his head that that’s not the point)
When Emmet returns from out in the wilds researching Grafaiai it’s revealed that Ingo post-PLA is also at their lab, working as a research assistant with the professors to revive old Hisuian pokemon forms
Profs Sada and Turo work together (Prof Sada researches into the past, Prof Turo researches new tech like fossil revivers) and helped Emmet find and then fetch Ingo from the past so Emmet is working as a research assistant to thank them
Ingo and Emmet are currently on (depot agent enforced) leave from Gear Station for a certain number of months to recover from everything
Being research assistants in Paldea is quite different from their usual jobs but they’re enjoying the work and grateful to be together again
(Also I think they deserve a cute little Paldean rental house they can come back to every day after the lab and be domestic and soft in)
