#do we think Vash and knives can understand Pokémon?

[nightlightrequested]

What sort of pokemon would Knives have in the AU? I was thinking Mimikyu but someone got upset over that idea ajdksksllala

Okay imagine!

Vash is trying to resocialise his brother into the world and Knives is just dragging his feet about it. Knives one day meets a mimikyu. He tries to walk around it but he’s the first human that didn’t react horribly and mimikyu just kinda clings to him.

Knives seed how people perceive mimikyu and relates that not only to how people react to his brother but eventually how people react to him too. They treat them like monsters, who hide under human costumes.

And he starts projecting onto mimikyu, and then seeing himself in mimikyu he lashes out in a “why won’t they just leave me a monster alone!” Kinda way, and mimikyu emotionally convey that being lonely kinda sucks. And it’s not so bad having someone who cares about waiting at home wondering where you are

But also I could almost imagine like 4 Pokémon off the top of my tounge that I think would suit knives, any point of the solosis line, Malamar, roserade, lilligant, like there’s so many different ways and options to work with story and Pokémon wise!
