Ever thought of slime G/t

you just gave me an idea

[cyanophen]

Okay, so hear me out, Giant! Cat Noir and Tiny! Ladybug au

Basically, in this AU, miraculous holders, depending on their users or the type of miraculous they wield, will alter their size to adapt towards the user or the type of miraculous, like the Cat Noir miraculous will turn Adrian giant sized while the Ladybug miraculous will turn Marinette ladybug or tiny size

Also, if you want to add a bit angst or something, a side effect of using these size altering miraculous is that they could make the user slightly taller or smaller after using it, like Adrian gaining a few feet or Marinette losing a few feet

I LOVE THAT IDEA

i can definitely see there being some angst with it because they would both of to get used to being their new sized without knowing if their sizes could change

Marinette as Ladybug could definitely use this to her advantage since she’s creative, however it would make her feel somewhat lesser to chat noir because she’s smaller

while chat noir would use this as a confidence boost as he’s bigger, but to also makes him more aware of ladybugs feelings abt the size difference and the fact he has to be careful overall, making him feel a little out of place wondering if people see him as dangerous

their sizes do have a base size after using the miraculous for a while but i feel like they could also change based on the holders mood while transforming

more uncontrolled emotions: ex, anger= bigger

content, over positive emotions= no change

depression, anxiety= smaller

some size ideas:

and them realizing somethings wrong

maybe calling this AU “Paris’ big and small Heros?”

idk

[cyanophen]

so when did that happen

[cyanophen]

“Chat Noir this is no time for puns!”

“Not even small ones?”

[cyanophen]

yeah

[cyanophen]

“We found a bunch of Lizards!”

Chapter 2: It’s getting…worse

Morning light began to seep through the grey curtains of hotel room, as the sun rose higher into the sky and light traveled from the floor and creeped onto the bed shining onto Leon’s face. 

He scrunched his face in discomfort of the light, tossing and turning, beginning to wake up from an unrestful sleep. 

Sitting up he finally opened his eyes, looking around the sun lit room he realized it was later in the morning than he thought, if it was morning at all. 

“What what time-“ he rolled over to the wooden nightstand and lifted his rotom phone.

 12:35pm

“IM LATE!” his eyes widened as he pulled back the covered and ran to the bathroom to tame his hair and brush his teeth 

“How did I oversleep!?” He asked himself. 

“Poor Hopskotch is going to be so upset” He groaned as he adjusted his baseball cap and snatched his cape off the desk chair, running out of the room. 

•••

“Hop! I’m here, Wait up!” Leon called out, hopping out of the flying taxi before it even touched down onto the grass. 

“I’m here! I’m here!” Before he could reach the bottom of the hill, his cape fell off his shoulders and flowed under his foot. 

Oh no-

“EUGH” 

               “OOF” 

                             “GAH”

                                            “ughh…” 

Leon laid at the bottom of the hill, sprawled on the grass with his champion’s cape covering his face. 

He groaned in pain as he sat up, pulling the cape off his head and fixing his frazzled hair. 

“I can’t believe I just rolled down a hill…”

“Well you’re not hurt? Are you?” 

A shadow moved to cover Leon from the sun, as he looked up towards the boy he realized it was his younger brother and his recently evolved Dubwool. 

“Let’s get you up, Lee.” Hop reached his hand down towards Leon and pulled him to his feet. 

“Sorry hopscotch, I guess I overslept” Leon apologized. 

“Was your meeting with the Chairman after dinner really that late?” 

Leon sighed and rubbed his temples. “Ugh, yes” he sighed. 

“He wanted to have a long meeting about-“

His eyes widened, remembering everything from the night before. 

The power plant under Hammerlocke…

He raised his hands to his chest, remembering the warm feeling he had felt when hearing the voice. As he placed his hands on his chest he felt it, the feeling of strength, but only this time-

-It was stronger, extending from his chest to his shoulders  and lower torso.

“Uh, Lee?” Hop waved his hand in front of Leon’s eyes to catch his attention. “Are you alright?” 

Leon shook his head to try and forget that night. 

“Yeah, I’m all good, just uh” He paused to think, “tired is all.” 

Hop looked at him with suspicion then shrugged. “Guess you took a harder tumble then I thought, you sure you don’t wanna train another day?” he tilted his head and continued. “You’ve still got tomorrow morning to train before your big match against Gloria.” 

The Champion thought for a moment, maybe he did need to take a day off, he did have late night and did just take a pretty nasty fall, maybe he should- 

No. 

Right, I need to keep going, getting stronger! I need to keep my reign as Champion and show everyone, EVERYONE I’m the unbeatable champ! 

Leon took a step back, blinking in disbelief. 

“What was that?” he muttered. 

“Lee? I think you need the day off.” Hop said, crossing his arms. 

“You look exhausted, plus you might have a bump on your head. Go rest up and we can train tomorrow morning.” 

“I-“ Leon began to argue. 

“Come on, I’ll call us a Flying Taxi to Postwick and you can rest at home for a bit.” Hop went on. 

He sighed, Leon knew there was no way he was talking Hop out of this. He knew all too well his little brother was stubborn. “Alright, let’s go Hopscotch” 

As the Corviknight taxi descended over head, he couldn’t help but feel like something was pulling him back, making him restless, needing to fight to need to sleep. He shook it off as his normal training excitement and stepped into the cabin with Hop. 

But something nagged at him, told him to fight. 

Why are you resting

You should be fighting! Winning! 

Leon shut his eyes and placed his head in his hands. 

You’re imagining things, Leon. No one talked to you through your mind, you don’t feel weird and you need to rest…

…you’re just tired is all. 

He shifted in his seat, restless. 

I don’t need to train today I need to rest. 

Rest. 

But I have the championship tomorrow, I need to win, I need to be better, I need to show everyone I can’t be beat! 

Leon suddenly bolted upright in the taxi, breathing heavily, something inside his chest feeling hot as the feel stretched to through his arms and to head. He then turned to Hop who was looking up at him with worry in his eyes. 

“You feel kind of feverish, Lee” He said placing the back of his hand on Leon’s forehead. 

“Y’know we can reschedule the cha-“

“No!” Leon interrupted.

“I need to do this!” 

Hop jolted at Leon’s sudden interruption, moving away from him on the seat. 

Leon turned to look at Hop, his face changing from a angry to guilt. “Hop I-“ he looked at Hop who had shrunk against the side of the taxi, startled by his older brother’s tone of voice. 

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to I…I’m not myself today” He pulled off cape and stared at the floor. 

What has gotten into me today?

Hop scooted back towards Leon and looked up at him with concern. “You’re sick Lee, and you’re not yourself at the moment. Let’s just see how you feel later today and we’ll go from there” 

Leon nodded then sighed, laying his head back onto the seat. Still trying to shake off the feeling something was wrong. 

•••

“Mom! We’re home!” Hop announced to the house. 

“Hop is that you?” A voice called from the kitchen, cooking utensils could be heard while a pleasant smell filled the downstairs. 

A shorter woman rounded the corner, sharing the same purple hair as her two sons, though with lighter tones of lavender and white streaked through it. “You’re just in time.” she said beaming not looking up from the towel she dried her hands with. 

“I just finished making the curry, if you don’t want to lose your taste for a week, I suggest you wait a little bit so it can cool down. I’ve also got-“ she looked up to face not only Hop but Leon as well. 

“Oh! Leon honey, you’re home…” she trailed off, surprised to see the champion in her living room. 

“He took a hard fall before we started training,” Hop chimed. “I don’t think he’s at his 100%, he looks feverish.” 

The boys mom walked closer to Leon, studying his face, taking in each detail to see what was off. Before she could place her hand on his forehead, she felt a sickly heat coming off him. 

“You are looking a little pale, and you do feel like you’re running a temp. Eat some curry and go to bed, if you still plan on battling tomorrow you need to get some rest.” 

She said in a soft but stern tone. 

“Mom, I’m fine, really-“ 

But before Leon could finish, his mom already had shoved a plate full of curry and rice in his hands. 

“I don’t want to hear any of that ‘i’m fine’ nonsense, now eat up.” 

•••

“Just holler if you need anything,” Hop smiled, but it was soon replaced with a frown as though remembering what Leon had done earlier. 

“Try and rest…okay?” 

“I will,” Leon reassured, adjusting his pillow. 

“Don’t you worry about me” 

“Night Lee” 

“Night Hopscotch”

As Hop closed Leon’s bedroom door the light from the hallway began to fade. The light from under the door vanished, leaving Leon in darkness only with the sounds of the nocturnal pokemon outside and his thoughts of the previous night. 

Why does it keep getting worse…

It’s almost, taking over my body, infecting me! 

He shifted uncomfortably in his bed, trying to sleep 

And this feeling in my chest, why hasn’t it gone away 

why me? 

why now of all times! 

i have a championship tomorrow, i can't risk being distracted! 

Maybe I am getting sick

It’ll blow over tomorrow, i’ll wake up feeling just fine

yeah

just fine…

He finally relaxed into bed and unclenched his jaw, finally drifting off into a deep sleep, dreaming about the championship that was to happen that next day. 

Unaware that it would be a day Galar would talk about for years to come…

…but not in the way he wants.

Chapter 1: For the Greater Good

Purples and oranges painted the clouds and sky as the sun began to set behind the green horizon. Flocks of Corvisquire could be seen flying overhead as the city of the Wyndon began to glow with the lights of cars, lamps, and bright billboards all turned on to adjust to the fading of the daylight. 

High above the skyline of Wyndon, in Rose Tower, the region’s most well renown persons stood behind the glass down admiring it all. 

“Look out there, at our region. Don’t you have concerns towards the future?” The Chairman tilted his head to look at the Champion with curiosity. 

Leon only stood silently, staring down below at the breathless view, he rarely got to see Galar from this high. 

“All of Galar…” he muttered. 

“From the Wyndon Stadium to all the way to the Crowned Tundra and the Isle of Armor is within our reach.” 

The Chairman slowly extended his hand out towards the cold glass dome as his facial expression changed from admiration to contemption. 

“The impending energy crisis is something that has plagued me for many years as Chairman.”

Leon blinked as though coming out of deep thought and looked at Chairman Rose, noticing the worry on his face. 

“I know you’ve been trying to solve it for the longest time, but have you come up with a solution?” Leon questioned. 

“Ah but that’s where you come in!” Rose’s face suddenly lighting up. “Since you’re the strongest trainer in all of Galar, of course” 

Before he could continue the sound of familiar voices could be heard coming up the stairs from the elevator entrance to the dome. 

“Lee?” a berry haired boy called out. His eyes glanced over the white tiles of the large room until they came upon Leon and Chairman Rose. 

“There he is!” Hop exclaimed, turning back to Gloria as she climbed to the top of the stairs as well. 

“Hop? Gloria? What are you two doing here?” Leon turned to face the two of them as Rose’s expression dropped. 

“You said you’d be at dinner by now.” Hop answered 

“I did?” He pauses to think. “I did! I’m so sorry Hopscotch, guess I lost track of time while talking to the Chairman.” 

“You don’t mine that I step out do you? I already has this pla-“ 

“Yes yes, go on.” The chairman waved his hand towards the three of them. “We shall continue this discussion later, Leon.” 

•••

The sky was now dark only being illuminated with Hanmerlocke Tower’s Light and the streets only by lamps and bright shoppe windows.

Those who liked to dwell at night walked the streets with bags or their pokemon in tow, some noticing the Chairman and Champion standing outside the Dragon Gym’s entrance.  

“Why didn’t you want to meet back in Wyndon?” Leon turned towards Rose. 

“Because there’s something you need to see.” He replied and without hesitation, he began to walk through the large brick arcs. 

Leon watched Chairman Rose take a few steps onto the maroon floor before following in behind him, taking in the tall walls he’s seen so many times. 

The time of night meant no one except the employee at the front desk was in the lobby, though leaning on the Welcome desk was the Gym Leader; Raihan. 

Looking up from his Rotom Phone he saw his ‘rival’ being lead in by the Chairman of the Gym Challenge walking through the entrance. 

“What are you two doing here, it’s kinda past my hours.” Raihan chuckled, shoving his phone into his hoodie pocket. 

“Just checking on some maintenance things around the gyms- ” Rose said dismissively. 

“-and I invited Leon along as he’s expressed an interest in these things before.” he added seeing the confusion of Raihan’s face. 

Leon waved awkwardly to Raihan as his name came out of the Chairman’s mouth. 

“Keep those challengers in check!” he joked, turning back to catch up to Rose. 

Raihan nodded and went back on his phone, once again blocking out the world. 

Rose stepped back to reveal an elevator in the wall of the lobby, “After you.” he motioned. 

“I’ve never noticed this before…” Leon hesitated.

“Is this new?” 

Rose scoffed. “This has been here a while, actually.” He then pressed the Basement level button inside the elevator, closing the doors and leading them down. 

“Though we have started using it recently after our, experiments have become a success.”

The elevator dinged and the doors opened to reveal a hallway made of the same bricks of the building they were under, only this walkway was colder, darker, and a faint hum could be heard coming from the room it lead to on the left wall. 

Rose looked back at Leon and motioned him to come out the elevator. He stepped out, shuddering, his head spinning as he tried to take it all in. 

How long has this been down here? Was it repurposed and I just never noticed the gym had a basement? 

Hundreds of thoughts buzzed through Leon’s mind as the two made their way down the hall, the faint hum getting louder with each strip. 

Why are the walls humming? Is it getting louder? How far under ground are we? Are- 

His stream of thoughts were interrupted by Rose clearing his throat as though to bring Leon back from his trance. 

“What’s in this room will change Galar for the greater good!” The Chairman announced. 

Before Leon could open his mouth to reply, he came to face what was in the humming room. 

Machines surrounded a large copper Sphere, all of them hooked up to it, taking readings on what was in it. Beeps and whirring echoed off the chamber walls as dozen if not hundreds of giant, energy coils filled the room behind it all. Everything had a faint magenta glow as if running and collecting the same energy. 

“Chairman…” Leon began, still breathless. “Where did- How is…?” 

“Ah yes, the most important part of this whole operation!” Rose clapped his hands together. 

“As I’m sure you know, the beast that caused the Darkest Day one thousand years ago has the energy, the power to cause pokemon to Dynamax uncontrollably!” 

“You see” He continued, “If i could harness that power, control it, turn it into something I could use. I could help Galar!” He then turned to Leon with a smile, his arms open as if to show off his energy plant. 

“The beast….darkest day…wait you don’t mean-?” The champion stepped back in shock. 

“Yes!” Rose exclaimed. “Eternatus, the bringer of the darkest day will power Galar for centuries to come!” 

Leon looked at the giant copper sphere in the middle of the room, a giant glow come from the gaps between the metal, pulsing like a heart beat. 

“You can’t be serious! Eternatus?! It’ll-“ 

“I understand your concern as Champion, Leon.” Rose interrupted.

“But i already have everything planned, everything in place. This is my way of taking care of galar.” he turned to Leon with a look at worry as he placed a hand on his caped shoulder. 

“You do want to see Galar flourish right?” 

Tearing his golden eyes from the sphere he looked at Rose with concern and fear. 

“Then this is the way it has to be, to ignore this kind of power, to refuse to use this energy for the benefit of Galar would be to refuse the citizens here a worry-less future.”

Leon looked back at the glowing copper sphere, slowly stepping towards it. He could feel the energy eminating from it, as he got closer he could feel the presence of Eternatus. It pulled him in, needed to know how it felt.

The champion felt his arm reach up towards the sphere, the closer he got the more he felt Eternatus’ strength. 

He then placed his palm on the bottom of the sphere, barely being able to reach it, but thirsting for the presence he felt coming from it. 

The strongest in the land  

A voiced echoed in Leon’s mind. 

I’ve been waiting for someone like you. 

He pulled his hand away in surprising as he felt the energy surge through his body. 

That…

Wasn’t painful…?

Leon shook his head and place his palm against the sphere once again 

Help me break out of here

What?

And I can help you defeat any of your foes

Especially that little girl that has hopes of claiming your title

How did you know- 

I can see it, I can see it all in your head. the potential you see in that challenger is NOTHING I see compared to you. 

I don’t need help, it’s all in friendly- 

Ah but I can feel you’re worried, worried that she has grown stronger with every battle

I know you’re next to come against her

And it frightens you….

No! You’re wrong, I’m excited! I want to see what she can do! I want a real challenge to go up against I- 

But yet, a part of yourself is doubting your own abilities

…

Just help me fight back, and I can help you 

I don’t know how

You will see, I too know it’s like to be locked away, but you don’t have to hold back…

As the voice faded from Leon’s mind as he pulled his palm away once again. Staring at his hand, his eyes traveled to the dynamax band on his wrist. 

It was fully charged, almost vibrating with an overflow of energy.  

•••

Later into the night Leon laid in bed, thought the light of the Wyndon skyline coming in from the open curtains was not the only think keeping him awake. 

It was the voice he heard earlier, talking to him like he had doubts about himself. He’d never doubted his abilities before… 

And this warm feeling in his chest, it hadn’t gone away since he was walking to the voice…? Eternatus? 

Next part coming May 29th
