Day 28: Snow Day!

Appropriately, it was snowing a bunch earlier this morning here

Day 28 - Beach Day

Fic if you want to read every posted day : https://archiveofourown.org/works/51386731/chapters/129854215

“Isn’t it the perfect weather Emmet”

The only answer Ingo received to his amusement was the groan of suffering coming from his younger twin as he was following slowly behind the group.

The group was composed of Elesa and Skyla who got the idea to go to the beach of Undella town, as well as Iris, who got a day off her duty as a champion to relax and Ingo himself as he decided for once to listen to his brother advise and take a break – was it petty to do that because of a prank his twin did last week, maybe.

It was mostly a decision the whole group decided together with a vote, and unlucky for his brother, the law of majority won, forcing him to accept against his will – and because he promised Ingo to participate in whatever activities he decided to do on the break.

And as much as Ingo does not have any difficulty with the extreme heat, Emmet, on the other hand….

“It is way too hot, Ingo I cannot survive, I am going to be found dehydrated before the end of the day”

Skyla, who was next to Elesa holding her hand, simply rolled her eyes before turning around to look with the most unimpressed stare Emmet, stopping the whole group when they were not that far from their destination. “Come on Emmet, don’t tell me you cannot stay outside for more than ten minute, we are literally going to the beach!! You can refresh yourself in the water when we arrive!”

“And you can't fight against the majority rule Emmet, this is in’Eevee’table” Add Elesa with the biggest smile she could mutter, not minding stopping the sightless while Iris who was on the side simply crossed her arms a bit annoyed by it.

The hilarious pun – in his opinion – was enough to make Ingo laugh loudly when it finally clicked in his mind, while Skyla on the other hand, simply shrugged it off use to her girlfriend's incredible pun.

Iris didn’t appreciate the pun through, shaking her head but not commenting on it, leaving only Emmet to groan even more loudly than before.

“It was bad, even worse than the heat Elesa, please do not do that ever again”

Their friend simply giggling at the reaction of the already suffering, Emmet, her smile full of mischief like the ones his twin does when he was not going to stop whatever he was doing “No promise”

Still, the situation did not start to get better, Iris slowly grimacing as she realized that Emmet was not going to stop his complaint about the heat. “Don’t be a baby Emmet, You can still go in the water like Skyla suggests, if it is too ‘warm’ for you, You just make us all wait longer by doing that!! I don’t understand how you seem to have zero tolerance for the heat but walk in the horrible cold of winter like it is nothing, That doesn't make any sense!!!”

His brother simply muttered his answer with a serious look in his eyes, as he tried to use as a fan his hand to be less affected “For my defense...I do not have any defense, summer just suck, winter is the superior season”

“No, summer is the superior season, this is winter that suck!!”

Loudly, Iris started to gasped, as if she was personally offended by Emmet opinions on the matter, frowning even more than Ingo.

His Twin was also bothered by Iris preference, repeating again with more conviction his position about what he considered to be the right answer.

By snowball effect, their disagreement degenerated into an argument on what season could be seen as the best, Unfortunately, forcing the rest of the group to watch with amusement their fight and delaying their arrival at the beach even more, Ingo, even if amused by the whole deal, decided that he needed to end it, putting his foot down.

“I must stop you two on your track!! First and foremost, language….and no I must disagree with you two, it is obvious that among every season, Autumn should be placed on the top”

“What!?”

That was enough to make Iris and Emmet team up against Ingo, That was not what his intervention was supposed to do at all, followed an even bigger argument that Ingo easily started to participate in, After all, it is true that Autumn was better than Winter and Summer combine.

In all of this, Elesa and Skyla simply looked at the siblings for a moment, before leaving them behind, knowing they would join them later on when they finished tearing each other out.

Day 27: Movie Night

(Brycen-Man 10: The Many Lifes of Lucario)

“2, 4, or 9?”

“Those are your choices for ‘So bad it’s good’?” Brycen asks Elesa from the couch where he was sitting next to Ingo and Iris. “I gave my whole heart to Brycen-Man 9, and you call it bad?”

“You claimed to be a conqueror from Alpha Centauri Alpha?” Ingo says as he grabs some of Brycen’s popcorn. “7 already established you as Lucario Kid’s grandfather, and 9 made you into an alien? Who came up with that?”

“Nate did,” Iris says, also grabbing popcorn from Brycen’s bucket. “He took over writing from 6 onwards, and let’s just say that he… Should’ve stayed an actor.”

“He may be an eccentric writer, but what he does come up with is sublime,” Brycen says with a smile. “Really, I should have him write something for you and your brother, Ingo.”

“I would prefer to stay on this side of the screen, thank you,” Ingo says with a sigh as Elesa sits down on his other side, starting up Brycen-Man 9: Lineage of Space. “I don’t want to be made fun of for my movies.”

“I’m not made fun of!” Brycen quickly says to defend himself as he swats Ingo’s hand away from the popcorn.

“Too late there, Bry-Bry,” Elesa says with a teasing smile as she reaches across to steal some popcorn.

“My movies are works of art, even if Nate applies his own thumbprint to them!” Brycen continues his defense. “Even if the rest of the series went to shit after 10. I don’t know why he went with a reincarnation cycle.”

[submas-november]

I drew the boys in PJs for Day 27! I gave them PJs and socks that match with the colors of one of their Pokemon! They are just chilling on the couch after a long day at work.

Summary: When Emmet learns that Ingo has been feeling lonely, he decides a movie night is needed.

Day 27: Movie Night/Pajamas

Something shorter and soft today

Day 26 (Alt): Hope

(Caught up here and AO3)

“I am Emmet. I am going to bomb this test,” Emmet says, draped over the edge of the bed in his dorm as Ingo is sat on the floor in front of some flashcards. “I can’t hold the equations in my head.”

“And how much of the test is applied math?” Ingo says, holding up a flashcard, the side facing Emmet reading ‘The electrical current flowing through a conductor in a controlled environment is directly proportional to the potential difference, or voltage, of the ends’. “If you can just memorize the theories, you can probably coast on multiple choice questions.”

“Ohm’s Law,” Emmet answers the flash card, then sighs as Ingo nods and puts the card down. “The professor doesn’t tell us. We just go in blind, yup.” The next card comes up, stating ‘What are the acceptable equations for Ohm’s Law once the constant of proportionality, resistance (R), is added to the system?’.

Emmet groans and he rolls back up onto his bed, closing his eyes to think. “Uh… I equals R over V and the other is V equals R times I.” He taps his finger against his arm, and nods. “Yup, that’s rig-” He suddenly stiffens, and leans his head back and screams.

Ingo sighs and sets the card down as Emmet turns around fully to face him. “These tracks are faulty, Ingo!” He pulls his pillow over his face and screams again before dropping it. “R can’t be over I in that equation! You’re supposed to divide I from it to get the first equation! Why can’t I remember that!”

“You just did,” Ingo says, pointing his pen at his brother. “The test won’t be asking you to answer immediately and correctly, Brother. You know how they are, they give you some kinda correct but mostly wrong answers, and you can go back to fix it later.”

“But what if I don’t remember to fix it!” Emmet says, running his fingers through his hair and ruffling his hair angrily. “I am Emmet! I suck with tests!”

“Cool your engines, Emmet!” Ingo says, quickly getting up to sit next to his brother, putting an arm around him and pulling him into a hug. “You have the knowledge in your head. If you rest well tonight, then you’ll do well. Trust me, don’t lose hope.” Emmet nods softly into his shoulder. “Let’s get you some melatonin. I think we’ve done enough studying tonight, let’s not overwhelm you.”

Emmet nods, and sits back against the wall as Ingo goes to grab the melatonin from the cabinet in the bathroom. Emmet breathes in and then out, and calls out to his brother. “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome,” comes the response from the other room.

Day 27 - Movie Night

Fic if you want to read every posted day : https://archiveofourown.org/works/51386731/chapters/129854215

Emmet was already installed on the couch, lying on it and taking as much space as he could, a sly smile on his face as he was looking Ingo, waiting for him patiently, not showing anything on his face other than malice, not too far from his twin, Eelektross was simply tired, already half asleep on his side of the couch.

The other Pokemon of their team were also all around the living room, everyone having their favorite spot to be, even the concerning number of Joltik his brother have, all posted near Galvantula, who usually stayed on the wall...the all wall was covered in Joltik...Ingo tried to ignore that as much as he can, he really need to convince his brother to give away some of them...

But it wasn’t the main problem, as Ingo sighed slowly, as he waited for their popcorn to be ready for their obligatory movie night, glaring with no real heat behind his younger brother, who knew perfectly what he was doing, As an older brother, Ingo knew what was his mission the moment Emmet decide to steal his favorite place on the sofa, and Chandelure, who was until now next to the older twin, happened to be waiting for only one things, looking over Ingo, then Emmet as she was impatient to do her next move.

“Chandelure I give you the authorization, don’t wait for me”

She sung out happily, loudly enough to alert Emmet as he snapped his gaze on Chandelure with a fearful look in his eyes, and before he could say anything, she was already gone, pushing Emmet from the couch, His twin screeching loudly as he fell on the ground, waking up Eelektross for a moment who simply look over his trainer with a weak clamor noise before going back to his nap not helping in the sightless his brother.

The other members of their team were amused by the scene, Ingo knew they were laughing or encouraging Chandelure, as she decided to not leave his brother alone, refusing to let him get up at all as Emmet tried to get her out of him.

“Chandelure you are too heavy, let me go!! Ingo, Help!! Chandelure is attacking me!!!”

Ingo couldn't stop the snore who escaped him before he grabbed the bowl of popcorn and walked slowly to go sit in his place. “I don’t see what you are talking about, all I see is that Chandelure being playful with you, there is nothing bad about it”

As dramatically and serious Emmet could do, he slowly muttered “Betrayal, Why do you do that to me brother?"

Chandelure, seeing that Ingo took back his rightful place, moved away from Emmet to take her usual spot on the sofa, leaving his twin the chance to get back up immediately and fall back on the couch with no hesitation, trying to get a comfortable position.

“I supposed that you wanted to choose the movie for tonight Emmet?”

Without missing a bit, Emmet looked up at him, taking the television remote immediately before Ingo could try to get it. “Obviously, last time it was your turn”

“It is true, in all logic, it is your turn to choose the schedule for tonight!”

“Yup, tonight we are watching Murder on the Orient Express!”

“Did we not watch this movie multiple times before?”

“Did we not watch The Polar Express multiple times before”

“...fair enough”

[submas-november]

Summary: After returning to his time, Ingo realises the quickest way to find Emmet is to simply call him. If only his Xtrans still had a charge.

Day 26: Reunions!

Here's another fic I've had in my files that I've been wanting to post and am using today's prompt as an excuse to do so

Day 26 - Hope

Fic if you want to read every posted day : https://archiveofourown.org/works/51386731/chapters/129854215

“I want to get even stronger”

That was out of nowhere, he must admit, as his older twin Friend Ingo looked Zorua Emmet with a thoughtful expression, trying to understand this sudden statement, Zorua Emmet knew that most people would see him as a decently strong trainer for someone who just start their journey – Even if he was probably not consider as such as a Pokemon – but still, It just didn’t feel enough in his opinions, Ingo after a moment of reflection finally say something.

“I do not want to press the brake of your engine, I myself want to get stronger like you but I must admit that it is a sudden declaration”

“I know, I just realized something after our last gym, it is bothering me”

“May I ask what is bothering you Emmet?”

Zorua Emmet was more than happy to tell his friend more about his reasoning, nodding with a serious expression on his face “I like winning, but it is not fun to win if the fight is not serious, last gym was not fun, the leader was not taking seriously the fight like our first badge”

Ingo silently nodded, he understood where Zorua Emmet was coming from, Their last big battle was not as fun as against Brycen, They don’t know why the gym leader, Ethan, didn’t take them as seriously as Brycen, Was it because Ingo and Zorua Emmet were still young trainer? Was it because he didn’t feel like they were worthy?? or was it for something else entirely?? That frustrated Zorua Emmet with no end for so many reason, the principal being...

“Winning didn’t feel rewarding, I don’t like it, he didn’t take us seriously” He sighs before crossing his arms, trying to find how to phrase his thought “If we could get stronger, other trainers would want to win, and that would improve the experience”

“I see, by getting stronger you think that we would be able to encourage our adverse to give his all to try to achieve victory”

“Yes, they would be more serious, the battle would be fun, winning would not longer feel like it was not deserve”

His brother friend smiled with a grin, he could nearly match his own, It was a rare sight but one appreciated anyway, The prospect of having a more serious battle was what Ingo probably wanted for a while too, as it was obvious that even he was bitter about their last victory.

“We need to get stronger...”

“...That is now one of our principal objective!!”

A new feeling blossoms in Zorua Emmet, not something he feels every day, but he recognizes it as hope, the hope to be able to push his opponent to new heights like Ingo would say, to participate in an exciting fight where they put everything into, Zorua Emmet hopes that they will achieved that soon.

______________________________

And they did, It took years, but Emmet would change that for nothing in the world, After all, it is from this envy to be stronger that he finally proposed to his brother this crazy idea that he honestly didn’t think would have worked at the time, This is the reason why, one afternoon, as they were at their apartment together after a long day at the station, Emmet ask this question who did change their track for the better.

“Ingo, I was thinking, wouldn't it be interesting if we could battle in the subway too?”

[submas-november]

Day 25 (Alt): Guilty Pleasure

(Read this NOT on Wattpad!)

It started as innocently as any internet based hobby could - Emmet wanted to annoy his brother a bit. So he made a Wattpad account, titled simply as “TrainFan22” to find whatever poorly written or hilariously cheesy he could irk Ingo with. He did find quite a few, too! His favorite was tehy canot take what is mine by the very eloquent EmerFan2, and he quickly adopted the bit of just verballing saying “Emmet growl angry” whenever Ingo annoyed him.

It rapidly began to devolve from there, though. Soon it wasn’t just the hilariously bad and cheesy that Emmet was seeking for simple laughs. He found himself drawn to some of the more serious works, such as one where he and his brother helped a young girl find the secret that her father hid from a crime syndicate, or the one that, while a little cliche, linked to a really well-done animated music video.

But it was controllable until the night Ingo found Emmet in front of his computer at 12:30 in the morning, discussing the fanfic with an author and giving them pointers on characterization of himself in a fic.

“Brother,” Ingo says from over his shoulder, looking at the computer screen. “Why are you telling someone that you would break the nose of a Plasma member?”

“I am Emmet. I have broken a Plasma member’s nose,” Emmet says with a nod as he continues typing.

“Not legally,” Ingo mutters with a bit of a laugh, getting a chuckle from Emmet as well. “But we also have work in the morning. You need to rest your engines, otherwise you might stall while on the line.”

“This fic is verrrry good, Ingo,” Emmet says, softly nodding his head. “I want to make it better. You should read it.”

“Fanfiction is your purview, Brother,” Ingo says with a sigh. “Go to bed soon, ok? It’s a good thing we have a later shift tomorrow, but I’m still going to bed. Good night.”

As Ingo walks out of Emmet’s room, Emmet just gives him a wave as he send the message to ErlektrosFan3.

Novembmas, Day 24: Matching / New Style !

{Transcription:

[1] (?) " You could at least carry something..."

[2] (?) "But look ! Chandelure is loving it !"

[3] (Elesa) "Yeah, she's clearly having a blast !"}

Yeah, I spent I-don't-know-how-long trying to figure out if this pun made sense (<- non-English speaker heere) and looking into Chandelure's moveset before learning it can have "Fire Blast", so, so far, could be worse.

Not sure if this fits much "New Style" but I don't have a sense of fashion and searching "winter outfit men" on Pinterest didn't convince me (Elesa outfit's also isn't much better lmao).

I just imagined that, like, Elesa brought them shopping to add some change to their wardrobe and they ended up wanting to completely match their outfit of the day, same colors and all, so I made it a point to make sure you couldn't differenciate them at first glance haha (oh now that I'm writing this, I realize that Elesa also matching with them would have been cute, and that they wouldn't have been able to change into the new clothes right after buying them lmao)

I'm not good at coming up with (nick)names, but in "A Tragedy in Parts" on ao3, Ingo's Chandelure is named Luxa and I love it so I hesitated to do the same here, maybe I'll use it after I come up with names for their other team members

Summary: Emmet comes home to his sick brother lying on the ground.

Day 25: Sick!

This took forever to post only cuz I've been in the group chat with my siblings all morning

[submas-november]

Day 25 - Sick

Fic if you want to read every posted day : https://archiveofourown.org/works/51386731/chapters/129854215

The day really did start perfectly, Emmet was verrrry pleased to see that nothing was out of the ordinary for once.

No illusion accident.

No unruly passenger.

No lost kid in the Subway.

No technical problems with the train.

No argument between the depot agent.

That was maybe why some sort of force of the universe decided that it was too perfect and that something needed to be done, or maybe something had a grudge against him because of a past mistake that he don’t remember doing, In any case, Emmet felt it hitting him hard.

It started with an annoying feeling of being tired, something he could deal with, It wasn’t the first time he suddenly felt exhausted, That was the consequence of being behind an illusion for days without taking any rest, through it usually takes much longer, months even, before something like that happened, and it’s only been one week since the last time he let down of his illusion, this was the first sign something was wrong, but Emmet decide to stubbornly ignored it.

Then came a horrible headache nagging him in the back of his head, becoming worse and worse as the hours passed, He would have tried to rest before, but the pain started while he was on the multi-battle train with his brother, He didn’t want to worry his twin and, to his defense, he was overall fine if not for the pain and exhaustion, it was just a simple, bothersome inconvenient, that Emmet could deal with for now, even if Ingo seemed to be suspicious every time Emmet wanted to cover his ear at the loud noise around who made his headache worse.

What finally made Emmet realize that he couldn't continue the day like this as stubborn as he could get, was the sudden feeling of weakness he felt before his leg nearly gave up on him in the middle of the corridor. Lucky enough, he could stop himself by putting one of his hands on the wall before he totally stumbled on the ground, but he would have been an idiot if he had continued his day on this track when he knew he couldn't win, as much as he hated to admitted to himself that forcing like this would just cause more problem for him.

He knew his illusion was probably not in the best formed at the moment because of that, at best it was only his eyes who got affected by whatever he had, This part wasn’t a real problem, There was a lot of explanation he could use, In the worse scenario he probably looked like a fuzzy mess of white, something who look barely human, it would probably freak out a lot of people and he don’t think that any lie would get him out of this one, in all case, he knew that he needed to retreat himself in his and Ingo’s office immediately, so no one could be able to see him in this state.

Thankfully he wasn't that far from his destination, worrying himself inside the office, then flatly letting himself fall face first on the couch, not having the energy to do much, it was also the only way for him to hide his face.

What followed was mostly a blurred, Emmet could guess he had probably fallen asleep with how groggy his mind was when someone nudged him slightly from the couch, making him groan loudly as this rude awakening.

“Emmet, are you feeling alright?”

It took way too long for Emmet to realize that the person who woke him up and was actively talking to him was his twin, That was bad, He could recognize Ingo’s voice everywhere, but at that moment it just felt like the voice of his older twin was wrap in some sort of filter who make it terribly difficult to register, Emmet was in a worse state than what he was thinking.

Ingo seemed to wait for Emmet to answer, He didn’t realize that he was taking a long time to react because of his lack of energy, He finally started to mumble as loudly as he could without moving too much as his body felt strangely heavy.

“I feel like I am dying brother…”

His twin hummed in acknowledgment, Emmet didn’t have to look up to guess that his brother was moving to get one of his pokeball in his hand “Do you mind if I take your temperature or do you prefer Chandelure to do it?? Because I have the feeling that you must be sick”

Knowing that Ingo remembers how much he hates when someone tries to take his temperature never made him so happy than right now, Emmet had a really good reason for his refusal too, mostly because he was not sure that his illusion was solid enough. “Chandelure please...”

His older twin didn’t ask another question, seemingly accepting Emmet decision, as he slowly backed away before letting out of her pokeball Chandelure, although the habitual sound seemed to be louder than it was supposed to, or maybe it was just him?

“Chandelure could you take Emmet temperature, I am afraid that he might have caught a cold”

“Ingo, what do you mean Em caught a cold, He looks like usual to me” Emmet may be feeling weak, but he could recognize sarcasm anywhere, he would have complained about it if he wasn’t too tired for that...or if Ingo wasn’t here, with a weak sigh he forced himself to move slightly so Chandelure can take like as his temperature, she barely touch his forehead before backing away with a startling noise confirming Ingo's guess.

“Uh…. It seems that you really got yourself sick again Em? I didn’t see the difference at all!! suck to be you” She was laughing at his dismay loudly before continuing “Well, good news for you, your illusion is still solid, you just need to stay focused on not messing up”

He simply grumbled to answer her, knowing perfectly what she meant as she returned to Ingo’s side, Emmet could nearly see her smug look....

“Hmm...well I supposed that we have to go home early today, would you be able to get up Emmet”

“No”

“Understood, do you want my help to get to the apartment?”

“Yes”

Emmet must admit, he may have been more blunt to just avoid talking more than he needed too, As his older twin slowly got closer to help him up, Emmet tried his hardness to not break his Illusion for the time being, Chandelure staying close to the duo like she was supervising them…. To his amusement, Ingo stared at Emmet's face with a disbelieved look when he was able to see it.

“Did you really put your eyeliner before passing out on the couch?!”

“I did, and I do not regret it”
