#anyways omf hau telling the other champions abt that too tho

[cheemken]

In regards to your latest ask, the one about a potential Villain Champions AU

You are so true King, Geeta is the worlds biggest Diantha simp, both platonically and romantically. Someone looks at Diantha wrong and she’s already there with her Kingambit. She’s had blood on her hands since she was young, all for her queen

Also, you know I’m a Iris and Hau enthusiast just as much as you are a Diantha and Geeta enthusiast, so of course my first thought was about my two beloved champions

Just thinking about Iris when she became champion and she meets the rest. They’re all being friendly to her and getting to know her over the next few months. Becoming the family she was missing in her life

Then one day she mentions that one of the higher ups of the Unova League thinks that she shouldn’t hold the title of champion, that she’s to inexperienced for it and the only reason she got it was because Alder retired and she used Draydens influence as gym leader to get it. Doesn’t matter that she’s a child prodigy, she couldn’t have won against Alder. Man were the others mad, they didn’t show it of course but the next day when Iris woke up she saw his picture on the news saying he was found dead in his office. Now with the league closed for investigation she gets to spend more time with the others :). I like to thing she starts picking up their “villain habits” the more she visits them. Like knowing how to lie, being sneaky, how to intimidate others, using blackmail, how to use Pokémon to get rid of bodies (courtesy of Geeta, Diantha and Lance, she thought they were joking), etc…

Now a couple years later Hau joins them. And just like with Iris people looked down on him for being young and “inexperienced” and exclude the fact that he’s also a child prodigy. He’s obviously bummed out about hearing people talk negatively about him and when the others ask what’s wrong he tells them. None of them were more pissed than Iris because how dare these random people talk shit about her friend, her younger brother, a champion, The Champion of Alola. They don’t have any right to talk down about their superior, the strongest trainer in their region. Who could easily wipe the floor with them if he pleased. But she knows Hau is to nice to do anything about it and he’s asked his friends not to interfere so she steps in for him

Imagine how pleased the older champions will be when they hear the news of a “wild” haxorus attacking a group of people in Alola and she offhandedly mentions that they won’t be bothering Hau anymore

screaming crying punching the wall thats so fucking dope what cbdmcbmxnd

No but nckddkd ough God that's such a good mental image tho she's turning out to be like Dia too how they're both protective of their little bros man I'm😭

Would Hau even find out abt it, or maybe like Iris he also slowly but surely become more and more like the champions too, looking down on people and finally seeing how strong he truly is

Like imagine tho Leon giving Iris that validation tho bc he also became champion when he was young, like the youngest to be champion compared to all of em, and he tells them just how great it was, how people older than him was scared of him, how they all regarded him as the most powerful trainer in their region, and Iris just took every word he said, bc if Leon said that then it's true, they she really does have the right to look down on people

And like cjdmdn getting to the point where Iris told Hau abt it too, how Leon and Cynthia and even Diantha told her that she's a Champion, they're both Champions, and they're the strongest trainers in their region, in the world, so why would Hau ever be scared of confronting those who aren't even worthy to share his space

God y'know w this imagine tho if at one point Hau kept thinking abt it, and hey maybe he's alone that day and suddenly someone went to him and said how he really shouldn't be champion, bc even Hala, his own grandfather, was surprised he managed to beat Kukui, and imagine that'd be enough to make him snap tho, he got mad and told that guy off but the mf just went on going "aw, what're you gon do? Tell your mom? Oh wait! She doesn't even like you too!"

"I don't care! I have the other Champions and they like me!"

"hah! The Champions? You think the champs would actually like you? Get real, that's embarrassing, Hau."

And imagine him getting so pissed he called out Decidueye, his Z Crystal glowing in the darkness, and he commands Deci to use Sinister Arrow Raid, killing the guy. And just fjmddb imagine his panic tho once he realizes what he and Decidueye did, that he ended up running away from the scene before anyone could find him and he hid in his house. Hau calling Iris and telling her of what happened tho, and to his surprise Iris was so proud of him that he finally sees what being a Champion is like, getting rid of those who doubt them, those who aren't worthy to live in their world

Foaming and frothing at the mouth. I am also so normal about them. Currently feeling like:

The image of Iris wearing Lance’s cape and Hau wearing Diantha’s necklace is just so CXHNHCXH. You know? God I would pay you real money to have those drawings of them wearing the cape and necklace

Anyways, I bet at first Iris and Hau never kept the items on them. They wanted to throw them out or destroy them, something to get rid of that connection they have to the older champions. To say that they aren’t the same as them, they protect the people of their regions not kill them for speaking out of line. That they aren’t going to carry the torch just because it got passed to them. But something is stopping them from extinguishing that flame for good, no matter how many times Iris is prepared to have Hydreigon burn the cape to ash or Hau ready to get Alakazam to teleport the keystone far away from him, they can never bring themselves to do it. So the torch sits there, unlit, waiting for the next move

Only years later, after much, much more mockery, distain, and hate from the public, does the cape and necklace feel somewhat safe to wear, and they don’t feel as heavy from sin like before. And the torch that has been sitting for years finally produces a small flame, and it will slowly grow to its original blaze of fire

ICBMDHCKDHCMDHCMCBDMCBMDNCMD GOING FUCKING INSANE‼️‼️‼️‼️

I've been thinking abt Hau w Diantha's necklace since yesterday man it actually haunted me in my sleep😭😭

I might actually draw this tho I'm in too deep I haven't stopped thinking abt this concept cjdmchmdndjd

BUT OUGGHHH CNMXNCMXND

You get it omfs

Like cndmjfmd can you fucking imagine Lance and Diantha looking at them w such a pride that Iris and Hau felt even more okay w wearing the cape/necklace bcmdndnd

And I have this lil concept in mind yknow, this one haunted me last night, like,,, another conference in Kalos, and Hau and Calem met bc yeah they're gonna battle each other

And Calem just has this feeling abt him, that there's really smth off, the way he smiles, the way he talks, the way he'd tell them anything they want to hear, everything about it is so so familiar to him. And suddenly, in the battlefield, standing opposites of each other, he could see Hau smile at him, the same lazy smile people were used to seeing w the Alola Champion, but his eyes.. his eyes were glowing, a bright emerald amidst the dust. Hanging from his neck was a Key Stone Calem knew all too well who it originally belonged to. As he prepares to call out his Chesnaught, Hau spoke to him, laughing, "show me how bright you shine, Calem!" And when he called out that Alakazam, Calem finally realized why it's all so familiar.

JUST CJMDNFMDND

Ough™

The kids finally becoming the Champions they were meant to be jcmdnd how they also became more violent and more manipulative, how they could get away w a lot of things bc ofc, they're Champions, the strongest trainers in their region, in the world, how could anyone ever beat them

[cheemken]

what about the main trainers, since you said theyre canon in your hcs? would they follow their champions too or not?

Bruh wait I actually forgot ncmdndm I got so caught up w the champions omf hahaha

But yeah God wait bc in my own hcs, Clair is actually one of Lance's E4 (replacing Koga), w Silver being the one in charge of Blackthorn's Gym, I might have to edit the prev post jfkdnd

Anyways

Yeah the Kanto trio, especially Green since he's still Viridian's Gym Leader, they're a bit skeptical at first, they know how rash and impulsive Lance can be, and Red and Blue fully expects Green to be all "that man's lost it." But,, he was strangely quiet. For Green, he's kinda w Lance and Diantha on this one, he believes that maybe the world will be better without bad people, and from experience since he was also a bit mean back then, he knew how much he hurt Red and Blue, but not again. In a perfect world, Red and Blue won't get hurt, and he'll be better, he won't lose them again.

The Johto trio... Man, Silver's having a crisis. This was the same man that helped him better his ways, and now he's seeing Lance go down a dark path. That's basically his dad at this point and he's witnessing his bastardization arc hahah. But fr tho, idk, maybe he'd be conflicted at first, but then again, the thought of the world without any organizations like Rocket tormenting them over and over again is a nice thought. Plus, y'know, Gold and Kris won't have to worry abt the threat of Rocket being back again, and they could just live their lives peacefully

The Hoenn trio, idk I feel they'd be neutral the same way Steven and Wallace are. They see Diantha's point, but they also see how she's wrong in pursuing it. May just kept quiet about her standing on it, Wally was honestly terrified by the thought of an all out war between the regions, but Brendan's trying to calm all of them down saying that maybe Wallace is right, Diantha could still be saved.

The Sinnoh trio, no they're against Diantha's cause. While they do think that a world without all evil is great, it's basically just Galactic all over again but with a slightly different cause. They aren't vocal abt their opinions tho, and they try to comfort Cynthia as well, they know how much stress she's already under. But for now they're just preparing if ever Diantha, or even Kalos in its entirety, tries to attack

The Unova gang,, well,, the same as the Sinnoh trio really, bc it's basically Plasma in a different font, but then again, they also know how caring Diantha is, especially to Iris, and even when they visited Kalos, Diantha welcomed them w open arms. They're also conflicted really, because some believe that Diantha is doing smth right, she just has to be guided, while some believe she's really lost it and she needs to be taken down. They never tell Iris abt their own thoughts on it.

The Kalos gang, they honestly felt like they've been lied to and used by their Champion, and it all adds up now that Calem figured out why he couldn't capture Yveltal, even w Xerneas by his side. But they also still respect her in a way, she really guided them in their journey and helped them stop Flare. But now they thought abt it, was that an act too? Maybe it is, maybe it's not. Maybe Diantha's just scared too, maybe she really needs all the guidance she can get, as much as they're scared of her now, Diantha's still important to the professor, and they know how important Augustine is to her, and w that they know her humanity is still there, she just needs help on finding it again

The Alola gang, Gladion would be against Dia ofc, and he and Hau argue about it almost every day, to the point that Gladion decided to just keep his mouth shut bc it really upsets Hau. The other three didn't voice their own concerns too, they already know that Hau knows there's smth wrong, but... Diantha was family to him now, and Lillie and Gladion knows that feeling too well. Elio wasn't really updated w a lot of stuff, so he's just trying to lighten the mood everytime they talk abt it, and Selene's just quiet the same way Gladion is.

The Galar trio, man when they found out abt how corrupt their league truly was they couldn't believe it at first. And then they got confirmation from Raihan, from Allister, and from Sonia. And God it was terrifying how detailed Sonia was, remembering the time Rose did threaten her w death, bc he knows she's the only other trainer who could easily beat Leon. They try not to talk abt it that much, especially since Hop's close to breaking down, finding about his brother being part of Rose's scheme, and doing nothing when he knew what was going on. Their views on Leon did change tho, Hop's especially, so now he tries to avoid his brother as much as he can.

The Paldea gang, well, they know their own region isn't as strong as the other regions' leagues. They know that. Considering that Penny hacked into the league. So they all decided it's best to just keep quiet and support Geeta at the moment, as she really needs it. They believe it's the safest option, as Geeta is quite close to Diantha, so w that, maybe Diantha won't try to attack Paldea too.
