The next step on my MDZS PokĆ©mon au, with part 1 being here, weāre going back in time from the Juniors!
Rules that I mentioned- 1) Everyone has a team of three. 2) their started is the equivalent to their sword, and has their swords name. If they have a second, named weapon, then a second PokĆ©mon has a name. Letās go!
So the PokĆ©mon protagonists that we will be following are, *Drum roll š„š„š„*
Yep! Itās Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian!
So the story starts out with them only having an Eevee each. All three siblings got an Eevee, as the family got the eggs from JFMās own Vaporeon.
The Jiangs own the water gym in the region, except JFM is also an elite four. So when the tournament season starts, and JFM canāt take gym challengers and instead has to take elite four challengers, who would man the gym?
The answer is Madam Yu. But her main team is not primarily water based, so she has to use gym PokĆ©mon to match her husbands theme, which she hates. (I donāt have her drawn yet, so when I do, Iāll post her) She wants JC to take over, but he canāt with just an Eevee. So, itās time for his PokĆ©mon journey!
JC just wants to do his family proud, and get water types to take over the gym. Heās fully expecting to evolve his Eevee into a vaporeon. I had a little trouble, debating what other PokĆ©mon to give him that felt JC, and if you can think of something better, please tell me! But I ended up going with Feebas, because I can only imagining him trying to fish up a Magikarp to get a gyarados (after probably episodes and episodes of trying and failing to get a water type) only to get a Feebas. And through ~shenanigans~ he has to keep the ugly, weak fish.
Of course, he doesnāt really know what it evolves into. Imagine his surprise laterā¦. (I have a separate, older JC drawn up to show later)
I gave him a lotad, because youāre fighting a angry looking trainer that sends out a Ludicolo is hilarious to me. I donāt have an image of how he got that PokĆ©mon, or when, but I do think itās his last.
Now to WWX.
He got his Eevee, Suiban, at the same time as JC, when they are 10~ just a little after coming to live with the Jiangs. Side note here- I have no idea how his dog phobia works here. Is it a specific dog? Is it just dog PokĆ©mon? I said before that Yiling is the graveyard town of the region, so maybe heās just scared of Greavard. He was still on the streets after losing his parents, just like canon.
I think Zorua is his last PokĆ©mon. I gave him that one purely because I felt it fit his vibes. I think he gets Drifloon when they pass through Yiling, to challenge the gym there. He actually had this PokĆ©mon as a kid, and it got left in Yiling because it wasnāt in a ball. So when it saw WWX again, it just started following him again. I gave him Drifloon because of the PokĆ©dex entries saying how it steals children! I felt that it was horrifying enough to work! JFM comes to find his dead friends child, only to find him living on the streets, with a Drifloon following him? Horrifying.
I think he gets his Drifloon before JC gets anymore PokƩmon. Maybe he even gets his Zoroa before JC gets anymore PokƩmon. This makes JC that much more desperate to catch something, leading to his fumble with the fishing.
I also donāt know which PokĆ©mon gets to be Chenqing. I feel like, being the one got in Yiling, it should be Drifloon. But I think Zorua would be the āfearedā equivalent to the demonic cultivation. I would love to hear your thoughts.
Another thing that I imagine for WWX is that he had expected to take over the gym when JC, in the future, started completely taking over for his dad- gym and elite four. Like Madam Yu is doing. He fully expects to evolve his Eevee into a vaporeon as well, and had expected to get a team of water types to match. JC is not that happy when he ends the journey with the team that he has!
But itās fine, right? Heāll just used borrowed PokĆ©mon like Madam Yu does, and itāll be no problem!
I was going to add a third to this post, but it got long! So Iāll add it in the next one!
Next time! The boys first gym battle, with (reminder) only an Eevee each!
