An AU? About Diantha and Lance raising Iris and Silver?

And it’s wholesome and soft??

I need more info. When did they get together? Was it after they adopted/took in Iris and Silver?? Before??

THANKS FOR ASKING OMF FINALLY I GET TO SHARE THIS HAHAHAH

Anyways holy shit owo

Yeah so in my lil au, Lance and Diantha actually met at Kalos during one conference when they were younger, and they actually battled, Diantha was champion during that time already, but Lance was still climbing up the ranks of the Indigo League, but he's strong yknow, he even beat the E4, so yeah they met during that, I wanna say Dia's like nineteen and Lance was twenty-one during that

And they kept in touch yknow, they'd check in on each other from time to time, and a few years later, when Lance told her he was part of the Indigo League Elite Four, she was so excited and happy for him, so she decided to celebrate w him by visiting Johto. And yeah, the two became closer than ever, and like, yeah around their second year being friends they decided to try a relationship w each other, and hey it worked out yknow, really well that they're still together after years

And like cbdmdn ough idk, I want it to be like bcmdnd like yknow how Iris was originally from Blackthorn, imagine if before the elders gave her away to Drayden, Lance decided to take her in, telling the elders since he's the head of their clan now, he can do whatever he wants, and he wants to take care of the child, she was a Blackthorn now and there's nothing they can do abt it

He called in Diantha, said "so I fought with the elders and.. and we have a kid now."

"....excuse me, WHAT"

"*sends a pic of Iris playing with Dragonair* her name is Iris"

"oh my Arceus"

So yeah, Diantha rushed to Johto after her lil panic, and like idk, imagine once she got there she sees Lance holding Iris close to him, and he's reading her a book abt dragons, and lil Iris was so amazed by everything, then they finally saw her, and Diantha's heart almost couldn't take it, Iris was looking at her, those bright red eyes shining w such a light, and Dia just caved in when Iris smiled at her, she honestly cried

And like yeah yknow just cjmxxn they're all soft and such, that night all three of them were together in Lance's room, w Iris between them, and she's there pointing at Lance calling him dad and pointing at Diantha calling her mom and Dia cried again— hugging Iris all "that's right, little one, oh you are so amazing!" And Iris was there giggling and hugging her back, repeating the word mom over and over again. And god Lance just looks at them and man he just loves them so much he joined in on the hug it's all so sweet I'm jcjxnxmx

But like yknow cjdmnd once Iris was asleep, Lance and Diantha finally have a lil talk and such, and it was oh so sudden yknow, that suddenly they have a kid now, and they didn't even get to talk abt having a family of their own just yet, and they're honestly terrified that they'd become like their parents. But like, yknow, Iris was w them now, and even if she just entered their life so suddenly, they couldn't imagine their lives without her. And yeah, they promised each other that they'll be good parents to Iris, that they won't fail her like how their own parents failed them

And just chmdndn yknow, a year later maybe, Diantha visits Johto again, it was a bit rough for them considering that Diantha's still Champion yknow and she's an actress too, she has a ton of shit to work on back at Kalos, but at least she gets a few months breaks every once in a while. So yeah, she's at Johto now, and it's all cool yknow, they're out on a lil outing and such, visiting Ecruteak, and even Goldenrod, and getting some rage candy bars at Mahogany, and imagine that's where they met Silver tho

Like they see this five year old kid trying to steal candy behind the vendor's back, and Lance was there telling him off but like, the kid looked so scared but also equally pissed, and like, Lance and Diantha asking him where his parents were and he just sneered at them saying that his parents are weak and bad and he doesn't like them and doesn't wanna be w them anymore

Lance was abt to say more stuff, but like Diantha's there crouching down to the kid's level, asking him abt his name, where he's from, and like, ough jdmd Silver calming down and telling her everything, and then Dia smiled at him and buys him more food, and ofc Silver was shocked to say the least bc she was really nice to him. And like, Dia telling him that he shouldn't even be roaming around without a Pokémon of his own, as he could get hurt, but he didn't care he told her, he's strong. Diantha knew that's a bluff ofc, even a little Flabebe could hurt a child, but Silver clearly trusts her a bit, so she just nods along. But yknow, imagine after that, Silver just quietly follows them around, like at a distance, bc he doesn't wanna be seen as weak

But they all noticed him yknow, Iris especially, kept waving at him and he's there making shushing motions so she wouldn't blow his cover, but she just wants to be his friend yknow. And Lance just went "yknow if you want to stay with us for dinner, you can, I'm sure Iris would love to have someone to play with" and Silver just accepted cause honestly it's better than living on the cold streets of Johto

And yeah just cjmdnd ough pls them just taking care of Silver too tho, giving him new clothes before they actually got home, buying him the snacks that he wanted, even got him some games and toys cause they know Iris doesn't like sharing much and they'd rather not have two kids fighting while they're trying to think of what to do w Silver since from what they know his parents are still around yknow.

But also imagine Silver and Iris bonding while Lance and Diantha prepare their dinner, Iris is there showing off her dragon plushies to him, telling him that one day she's gonna be a Dragon Master too, and Silver scoffs at that saying he wants to be strong enough to be Champion

Iris just up and goes "ohh! mom is a Champion!"

"really?"

"yeah! Champion of.. uh.. Kalos!"

So later that night, before dinner, Silver went to Diantha and said that he wants to be a Champion like her too

And yknow yeah years later after they got everything settled, they're just a happy lil family, while yeah Diantha was still a bit busy w her Champion duties, and Lance w his E4 and soon to be Champion duties, they somehow made it work. Sometimes the kids even stay at Kalos w Diantha and her family. So hey it's all cool hahah
