yay! I drew these quite literally three years ago. dragonheart!milo and raihan! a knight on a doomed dragon hunt being lifted out of his station by a small village medicine man. together they become magic lawyers and overthrow the government
the main details in these do survive into the iterations I’ve drawn (instead of these actual designs I spent time to make el oh el): the “leaf” diamond quilt/gambeson and the plaited coattail for milo, the “atypical” weapons, long coat, and large number of scattered fake gold trims and accessories for raihan. I think I lost raihan the hat and added a cape for milo further down the line because like this their general silhouettes are too similar for my liking lol
#pokemon#swsh#applinshipping#dragonheart AU#gym leader raihan#gym leader milo#leon is the puppet king in this one (I never made a design for him lol. lmao) (its not about him!!!!) (it is just a tiny bit#sonia actually disappeared out to sea like just the year before raihan got sent off too. and the shows up where raihan and milo are later on#as usual the everything between those three are messy in a way that makes every one of them embarrassed to bring it up lmao#if u remember one of the october pieces I did last year. the applinshipping one. yeap thats from this AU too#lmao. also remembering the swordsman AU. in every AU where I bring up a king you can TELL I cant WAIT to get rid of that guy#(its usually leon)#anyways it's not about him this is about raihan and milo!!! iirc everyone in the village knows milo is Something. bc he has literally not#aged at all for four generations#he's like doing his therapy away from the dragon hierarchy out here and raihan crash lands nearby#laughs this is so hallmark movie romance I just realized. except the city girl is trying to#extract her family from the palace before stealing the declaration of independence#oh yeah the AU is named that Specifically because the 'artifact' the whole plot runs around is supposedly a 'calcified' heart of a dragon#and the magic lawyer part is so raihan will seize the right to the throne by haha. winning a living dragon's heart instead#I'm actually surprised I remember this much abt this AU lmao it's literally been three years! I don't even remember what Im#supposed to do tomorrow#it's gettign a USB stick isnt it. Im doin a canadian horror triple feature with the senpai#I gotta remember that. well I remember This so. maybe there's a chance#man there are actually a number of applinshipping things I wanna draw... theyre my Fuckin BoyS#well! there's this at least. have a good night lads! I'll have cake soon#it's time to put cinnamon in things.

Kabu was tellin’ me last night ‘bout this weird relative he ‘as in Hoenn (I think Kabu’s his uncle? No idea. S’confusin’.) who apparently summoned their native legendary one day?! Somethin’ ‘bout makin’ more land…
Is this a regular occurrence in Hoenn, or is Kabu’s fam weird? Could be both.
Wish I had cool stories ‘bout my fam.

Redemptionshipping adult life headcanons
So I've been thinking about Kris and Silver a lot lately and I wanna share some headcanons I have for them.
The two of them get married at age 22(Kris) and 23(Silver) after dating as teens
Kris works as the boss of the Battle Tower and Silver as the gym leader of Olivine, he often joins her for lunch at the top of the tower
Despite working in Olivine, they live in New Bark
Kris and Silver have their first kid at age 25/26, a girl they name Solana (Ranger series)
Kris worked the day up until she gave birth
Silver decides to be a stay at home dad so Kris can keep her position at the Battle Tower
Silver is a very hands on dad, determined to be there for his daughter in a way his dad (and mom) never was for him
Silver picks up gardening to grow their own veggies/berries and has an affinity for grass type pokemon (he was a grass type gym leader)
Lance is asked to be Solana's godfather (which he happily accepts)
Solana takes after her mom in looks (body type/hair type and color), but has her grandma's eyes (Ariana)
When Solana is five, Kris and Silver decide to move to the Galar region because the Sinnoh style Battle Frontier is imported to Johto and the Battle Tower is scheduled for demolition
In Galar, Kris takes up work as a field researcher while Silver decides to apply for a gym leader position again
At age 32/33 they have their second child, Penny (Scarlet and Violet)
Penny takes after her dad in looks (body type/hair type, mix of mom and dad's colors) while having her grandpa's eyes (Giovanni)
Kris worked all the way through her pregnancy again, actually going into labor on location (Silver was with her during the tail end of her pregnancy because she is too stubborn for bed rest)
Kris decides to be a stay at home mom for their second child so Silver doesn't have to give up his gym leader position
When Solana turns 14 she travels to Fiore to be a pokemon ranger
Penny eventually goes to school in Padea
The two go on walk dates often, Kris has wishing star collection
They are close friends with Leon (he reminds them of Lance) and Raihan (is very excited they know Lance)
Kris often teases the idea of taking the gym challenge, but doesn't do it because she values her free time with Silver
They take trips back to Johto for the holidays to see Kris' mom and Lance
might add more later
definitely want to try drawing some of these but don't get your hopes up

hi!! could you do some headcanons of piers, raihan, and leon in a poly relationship with reader? (either gender neutral or masc please!) like how dates with them would go or how they'd deal with the potential hate reader would get whether it be from fans or family? please and ty! <3
[Relationship Headcanons]
Piers x Raihan x Leon x gn!Reader
Tumblr media
Once the four of you start officially dating, you all still keep it very much on the down low
Raihan will still post photos with captions calling you guys his 'favourite people' but nothing about you all being together romantically
And even if you all go as a group to Piers shows, there's minimal PDA to try and avoid people finding out
Usually just keeping to fleeting touches and knowing looks
It's not because any of the are embarrassed or ashamed of dating you or being in a poly relationship, but they're high profile people with a lot of fans so they worry about the potential reception
When you guys go on public dates it often looks more like a group of good friends all going out for dinner
Raihans arm good naturedly slung over Leon's shoulders as they talk about the Pokémon league
You and Piers trailing slightly behind, fingers brushing against each other while you chat about plans for his next show
If you guys end up going out for drinks afterwards things might get a bit rowdy but still pretty secretive
It's when you have at home dates that all the affection really come out
Leon has a huge TV and an even larger couch, so you lot often invade his apartment to have movie nights
All of you make a cuddle puddle across the couch and get comfy and settled in for a good night
Piers has his legs draped over Raihan, the dragon tamer is lying back into your lap, and you're pressed against Leon with his arm around your waist
Between the four of you, there's two bowls of popcorn and at least six packs of various sweets all being passed around
Nevermind the near constant threat of spilled drinks due to everyone always shuffling around
The first people to find out about your relationships are your families
Lord knows Leon needs a California king bed for all of you to pass out in later
Though someone usually still ends up on the floor
It's Raihan
Hop initially has a couple reservations, it's not a very common relationship set up after all, but with a little time he warms up to it all
Soon, he's all over you guys and your Pokémon trying to get top secret training tips
Marnie isn't all that interested in your relationship but she is glad her brother is happy and loved
Leon's parents aren't too phased, and they make sure you know you're always welcome to all come stay with them
They do also end up investing in a few extra air mattresses for your visits
She'll pull you aside at some point and thank you for taking care of Piers
Once the rest of the world is informed, thanks to a viral post made by Raihan, there's definitely chaos for a while
There were plenty of fans that not only supported the relationship but had also suspected some sort of romance happing behind the scenes
There were also plenty of assholes that wanted to judge your relationship
Three very eligible bachelors with cult followings were just taken off the market all at once after all
If Raihan sees anything in the comments of any posts he simply deletes and blocks
Piers tends to post his own scathing remarks in response, he has no patience for people judging things they don't understand
Tumblr media
Leon is blissfully unaware of any online hate, but if he sees you upset then he'll wrap you up in a hug and let your other boyfriends loose in the comments
Overall, A+ boyfriends, you'll never not be feeling the love
I actually really love this request, thank you Anon! I'd happily do more content with either this relationship or other poly relationships <3

Will do. I actually was confused on what you meant by ex-trainers. But I originally thought that you meant that they were Pokémon hybrids. Then I thought you meant that you and them were trainer's together when you two were younger. I wrote my second idea because that made more sense since you didn't mention anything about Pokémon hybrids. I also apologize for taking so long and for the cringe. Piers is under read more.
Ex-Trainers to Lovers
Tumblr media
Raihan
You haven't been back to Galar since you were 16. Your family moved to Unova after your 16th birthday. You had to say goodbye to everything and everyone you knew.
You were especially upset to be leaving your trainer buddy Raihan. You knew that it wouldn't be the same now as it was back then. You met up with Raihan at a coffee shop near his home and decided to catch up.
"How was Unova? Did you make a new trainer buddy while you were there?"
You sighed and looked at him.
"You know that I could never replace you, Rai. You were and will always be my only trainer buddy."
"I know. It's just that it felt empty without you here. Leon is fun to battle, but it's just not the same."
You put your hands on his hands which makes him look at you.
"Rai, your feelings are valid. Now how about I tell you about the twin subway masters I got to battle."
~11 months later~
You were in the stands watching Raihan and Leon battle.
Of course you were wearing your Raihan merch and cheering him on. You noticed how he was off his game during the battle. After it ended you ran to the locker room. You knocked and the door opened, so you walked in. You saw Raihan with his head in his hands and you sat down next to him.
"If you don't want to talk about it that's okay."
That's when Raihan kissed your cheek.
"I'm in love you, Y/N. If you don't feel the same way then I completely understand. I understand because we haven't seen each other since we were sixteen."
You kissed his cheek and he looked at you with a surprised expression.
"I've never stopped loving you, Rai."
Tumblr media
Piers
You and Piers were once rival trainers. Throughout the years many thought you and Piers hated each other. But it was all a fun game to you two. After Piers became a gym leader you two slowly drifted away.
You were walking around a clothing store in Spikemuth and spotted Marnie. She saw you and the two of you started talking. That was until Piers showed up to check on Marnie.
“Hey Piers. How is the life of a Gym Leader treating you?”
You asked him trying to make conversation
“It’s been alright. I’m thinking about retiring and passing the gym onto Marnie.”
You nod and notice that Marnie managed to slip away from the conversation.
“How have you been, Y/N?”
“I’ve been okay. Life has been boring without you honestly.”
Piers blushed and tried to hide it.
“I mean I guess that’s because I’ve been busy with the gym and stuff.”
“Would you like to… um get dinner with me sometime? Unless you’re busy and stuff.”
“I’d like that, Y/N”
~4 months later~
You and Piers were just hanging out as his house catching up.
“I bet you have people trying to date you all the time, Piers.”
“Yeah. It’s dumb because I don’t like any of them. I’ve only liked one person romantically.”
You look at him surprised.
“Really? Who? What’s their name? Are they from Galar?”
“Um… I actually like you romantically, Y/N.”
You blush and hold his hands gently.
“Since when?”
“Since forever I guess.”
“I honestly thought you didn’t feel the same way, Piers.”
You and Piers were about to kiss, but Marnie came in and interrupted.
“If you two are going to kiss please do so in his room, please and thank you.”
She states as she goes to her room. You and Piers laugh at the situation and finally kiss.

HIIII!!!!
Congrats on 500!!! i dont say it enough but i really do love ur work and istg i need to start interacting more to say it >.<. but since you're doing requests-
If you're willing to do Yanplatonic stuff- Do you mind if you do Yanplatonic Kokushibo x Sister reader? (theres so little. i write it for a reason ;-;) But if you're not- How about Yan! Raihan x Reader? Can be anything you want really- I'm just starved of Raihan content in general rn :(((
If you're not comfortable with yandere requests then PLEASE feel free to get rid of/ignore! Again, Congratulations on your milestone, IM SO PROUDDDD!!!
-TML
THANK YOU!! 😭 Why not both? warnings for mentioning of death and killing in Michikatsu's part only and both parts having yandere themes. Raihan's being more romantic than Kokushibos bit. @trancylovecraft
Tumblr media
*It was really strange in the beginning. Everyone knew that Michikatsu being the oldest and 'normal' twin was assigned to be your father's heir while Yoriichi was unwanted and almost killed but was now destined to go be a priest come his tenth birthday. So where did that leave you?
*The youngest Tsugikuni that no one expected to be born. One heir was all that was needed so what to do with a third child let alone a daughter. You were lucky not to be a twin or more because perhaps their fate would've repeated with you. But since you were both unexpected and unplanned everyone just sorta..kinda didn't know what to do with you.
*Your father had no interest in you from the beginning but he'd be damned if he became a laughing stick twice with a son like Yoriichi so while he didn't care about your existence or bother to interact with you, he ordered that you become 'a proper lady' and one worthy of your status. 
*Which was why your favorite parent was your mother. Even if you couldn't spend a lot of time with her either because of your harsh studies and your orders to be kept away from Yoriichi who was always around your mother. 
*As a result most of your studies coisided with Michikatsu's minus his fighting training. So you both developed a greater bond than the one's you had with either parent or Yoriichi. He'd take you to sneak out and visit Your other older brother Yoriichi. Not as often as Michikatsu saw him but it was enough for you to love your silent but kind older brother too. Until everything changed.
*Yoriichis true talent was revealed. Your mother passed away. Yoriichi visited you in the middle of the night just to hug you, nothing more, before leaving in the middle of the night. Michikatsu's jealousy increased as did the anger your father possessed. Unbeknownst to you, Your brother was intentionally taking up all your father's attention from Yoriichi not only to make his father forget about the more talented twin in risk of loosing everything, but also to steer his new found frustration off of you. And it worked scarily well. 
*Now without your mother and older brother you were left in the care of maids and tutors and barely saw your remaining family anymore. You tried to make it work, really you did. You tried studying hard and becoming the best high society woman you could possibly be to make your father and Michikatsu proud. It worked...a little too well. Because not only did you accidentally overhear your father make arrangements for your arranged marriage to a known wrathful and brutal man, but he planned on not telling you at all until the day of said wedding so you'd have no choice but to go through with it.
*Terrified you sought out your older brother in the middle of his studying to explain what was happening and that you feared for your life. Michikatsu's expression is blank as he calmly regards the way you're shaking and hyperventilating as tears weld up in your eyes. The man he spoke of marrying you too happened to be one of his father's most powerful men. Ruthless in both killing enemies and how he treated others in general so the fear was warranted.
*Michikatsu himself was already married with his wife expecting their first child in six more months so he supposed their father decided that it was time his daughter was married off too. He didn't do anything. Didn't even offer to calm you. Just calmly close his book and place it down. "Have you tried talking to Father or this man?" "You know he wont listen to what I say! He never did! What am I going to do?!" "I see...I'll talk to him tomorrow. I can't guarantee I'll change his mind but perhaps I'll see what I can do. In the meantime my wife is lonely by herself. Why don't you go keep her company for a while?"
*You didn't know what to do. Your life was about to be ruined. But you had to trust your brother to try and steer your father's mind from this. You spent the next three days with your sister-in-law helping her along with maids in preparation for you new niece or nephew. So imagine your shock when news reached you both of your husband to be being found slain by a demon. His body sliced so badly that no one recognized him at first. It should've been a relief but it was really more shock than anything else. Your father was furious however he himself would pass away soon as well. Tripping over the second balcony and passing away. 
*You didn't know what happened to either one of them but the look in your brother's eyes when you asked him about it told you all you needed to know. "Do not worry about it. After all ..Big brother will always be there to look after his little sister."
Tumblr media
-You catch his attention either one of two ways. You either keep defeating him and become a second rival to Leon or you are completely indifferent by anything he does. Since he's literally Galar's strongest gym leader let's go with the second option and say you got his attention by being indifferent.
-Raihan is a good looking guy. Very handsome. His friends know it. He knows it. And his fans REALLY know it. It's no secret Raihan has acquired fans of both genders from just his charms and looks alone outside of his strength and status. He can make anyone swoon if he tried hard enough. So that's why when you came along with your indifference it was like a surprise slap across the face to him.
-You were one of the people at the local meet and greet after that year's Pokemon championship. As usual he was unable to defeat Leon but the crowd's after pleading for autographs and pictures from both the gym leaders and Champion was ready in wait for them. He loved greeting his fans. Practically head diving first into the crowds to supply selfies and autographs to his endless fans. So when he meets a group of ladies bashfully waiting for their turn, he gives them the good old charming smile and wink. It sends the whole group into giggles. Except for you. Your bored, deadpanned face never changed other than giving an eye roll.
-This genuinely catches him off guard. Usually no one ever did that to him so perhaps you're a fan jealous you're not getting his full attention. Nope. When he walks over and tries to chat you up you shut him down immediately. "Hey there.~" "NO." No. Just ..No? He hasn't said more than two words to you and you're not even looking at the wide eyed gym leader next to you. "I'm not interested in whatever womanizing antics you got to say. Beat it before I make you." A choked sound of surprise leaves him at that.
-Him? A womanizer?! Sure he was flirty and stuff but that's how he always was! He tries to say something but instead you walk away. Turns out you were only there because your friends dragged you along with them but you didn't want to see Raihan. To you he came off as full of himself and the way he just flirted with everyone just reeked of womanizing behavior.
-Raihan is left shocked, confused, a little bit hurt..and a LOT intrigued by you. He's never met someone like you before and he wants to find out more! He heard one of your friends mentioned your name and looks you up later on social media ended up finding your socials. Naturally he follows you back and flips through them. There's...not a lot really. Just a couple blogged posts from your friends and family, a few pictures of said friends and family and some of your Pokemon, a funny meme or two and.... That's it. Apparently you're not online much and you don't follow a lot of people outside of friends, family, and a few blogs that was about Pokemon.
-Well surely you would appreciate it and follow him by after seeing he followed you. Nope. You straight up ignored him even if you noticed at all. It drives him crazy. Posting everything from cute pics of his team to beautiful views from the back of his flying to selfies of him showing off his admittedly impressive build. But nope. Zero. He'd spend hours obsessively flipping through notifications for any reblogs, comments, or even a like on anything. Nope. Nothing. You don't bother to notice him. And when he tries to get you to notice him, you also ignore any comments or otherwise by him.
-Its frustrating to him! All he wants is to be recognized by you! To show you that you were wrong and he was a really good person. When messaging you online didn't work he tried in person. After all you barely posted anything so maybe you didn't really go online that much. He found your work place in Wyndon City by a picture you posted once of you getting promoted at work. A small little Pokemon groomer's shop. He went there under the guise of getting his duroludon's metal body polished so you wouldn't be freaked out by suddenly seeing him there outta the blue.
-He saw you as soon as you walked in. Brushing down the fur of a minccino as he walked in right in front of everyone. You looked up from the Pokemon with a smile but was shocked and then frowned as soon as you saw his smiling face. "What are YOU doing here?" "I'm in Wyndon visiting Lee but I figured my duroludon could use a good polishing after so long. I heard this place does a good job grooming Pokemon so can I get the big guy in?" You still frowned but didn't seem to be none the wiser. Only grumpily ringing him up as he paid and your coworker took his duroludon to be polished up. 
-"I also want to apologize to you." "For what?" "I may have come on in a way that made you uncomfortable. Sorry for that. I swear I'm not like that all the time. It's mostly just an act for the fans. They have a certain image of me." "So you act like a womanizer for publicity stunts?" "Hey. We all do. You think Piers is really introverted and shy? Nah man. He might be punk goth but he's not that emo. It's just what his fans like to see from him." "....Alright. I guess I can buy that. Apology accepted."  "Good. Since we're all cleared up now..Can I make it up to you with dinner?" "Really?" "Really! It's not a date but I would like to get to know you better since I never met anyone like you before. So what do you say?" "....I get off at five. Remember it's not a date."
-He couldn't have been happier. It was a start of a long road of living you.

Some of my hcs for pokemon characters and their love language(Male)
Raihan :: Gifting
I feel like he has alot of money, so he'll probably like to spoil you with anything you want
Leon :: Quality Time
As a champion(Lets ignore the protagonist aka you beating him) he doesn't have much time to spend with his s/o, so any free time he has, he'll probably spend it all with you
Hop :: Words of Affirmation
For Hop, I feel like he's to focus on beating Leon and becoming the champion that sometimes he forgets all about you, so sometimes you overthink and starts to feel insecure, but of course best boy Hop here will always tell you that you are still one of his top priorities
Volo :: Physical Touch
I see him as a very flirty man. Yeah, thats the only reason
Arven :: Quality Time
Since when he was little, he never spend time with his parents, he'll probably wanna spend all his time with you so replace that emty slot in his heart where his parents shouldve been
Gladion :: Acts of Service
Tho his family is rich, he doesn't wanna be associated with his family at all, so he rarely gives you gifts. But I still think he'll like to do nice things for you, like maybe, playing with your pokemon if you're busy, taking care if you when you're not feeling well, etc
N :: Acts of Service
Idk, I really dont know why I think he has that LL but i just think it suits him
why tf did i make his

Raihan setting up a curvy female!reader with Leon on a blind date for a treat? I've had the idea for ages but between work and school, I'm too lazy and preoccupied to write it 😭. Thanks so much! ❤
you got it dude!! one simping leon coming right up!
🍓🍓🍓
Leon isn't sure why he agreed to this. He sinks into his seat some as the patrons of this little hole-in-the-wall restaurant gaze at him, whispering to one another. He's lucky it's more of an adult establishment, with folks kind enough not to walk up to him and ask for an autograph.
A blind date, Raihan called it. He had sworn up and down that the woman he knew would be a perfect match for Leon. But Leon doesn't know if he believes it, no entirely. He trusts Raihan's judgement, but he knows the tendency for people to only see Champion Leon. They sometimes didn't care for the man beneath the title and the crowned snapback.
But, Leon has to admit he does feel a little lonely, and he does want a relationship. He wants the domesticity and the butterfrees and the flowers that come with it. He hopes whoever this woman is, she wants something similar with him and not just the Champion.
When you walk into the restaurant, dressed how Raihan told him you would be, Leon feels his heart stutter and trip over itself. The outfit you chose suits you well, better than anything he could've imagined, hugging the curves of your body and accenting the way your hips gently sway when you walk.
You spot him, and stop in your tracks, your eyes wide with shock. But then you split into a warm, albeit shy smile. You make your way over to his table, and you settle into your seat.
"Hello." You greet, chuckling to yourself. "Doesn't Raihan have a way with words? You're the last person I expected to find in that chair."
Leon laughs too, rubbing the back of his neck. "Yeah, but he said it'd be worth it." He glances up at you, grin boyish and lopsided. "And I'm starting to think he's right."
A blush blooms across your face, and Leon chuffs up, pleased.
You spend the dinner together, and Leon finds himself growing more entranced. You talk about life, friends and family, hobbies and Pokémon. Leon waits for your questions about his job, the money and celebrities he knows, but you don't press him on any of it. You leave your questions casual and open ended, letting him decide what he wants to talk about. And Leon likes it, a lot.
He likes how interested you seem in his family, how you laugh at his silly stories and coo at the baby pictures of Hop he shows you. In return, you talk about Raihan, how the two of you met and how annoying the man has been, bugging you about going out with a friend of his.
"He said you and I would get along," you tell Leon, sipping your wine with a soft huff of amusement, "because we're both sad sacks moping about wanting relationships."
Leon snorts. "Rich, coming from him!"
"Right? He's got a lot of advice for someone chronically single."
Leon grins, eyeing the hand you lay on the table as you set your glass down. He taps his fingers on the tablecloth, now somewhat strained by the meals you had, and inches his hand closer to yours.
As you continue to talk, some playful teasing towards Raihan, Leon slides his finger tips over your own fingers, tracing the valleys between your knuckles, before settling his palm over your hand. His had engulfs yours, but its warm, calloused. It feels safe.
You smile at him, twisting your hand so your palms align, tracing along the veins of his wrist.
Leon blushes, but he's too giddy to care. He doesn't want this date to end, even though the waiter has dropped off the check.
"Hey!" He says, a bit to loud. It earns a few glances from the nosier of the other patrons, but you just cock your head, nodding for him to continue. "Um, let's go hit one of the parks. I wanna meet your Pokémon."
Your eyes twinkle in the low lights of the evening sun. "Here, I'll do you one better." The squeeze of your hand in his makes his heart flip-flop again. "Why don't you come over? You can meet my Pokémon, and I'll meet yours too, yeah?"
Leon is nodding before you even finish your offer.
And if people see you both walking out of the restaurant, Champion Leon's hand following the curve of your hip? If the press posts pictures tomorrow of the mysterious woman seen taking the Champion Leon home with her? He doesn't care. Not if it means getting to spend more time being just Leon with you.
