Pokemon au lore bs

So in my Pokémon au, there are two sets of main characters, each set with their own plot going parallel to the other’s plot. It’s complex and my next big project (god willing.)

So! Here’s the two sets and their signature Pokémon. :) 

So the first team is Bench Trio!

We’ve got Tommy, our favorite “main character” starting out on his journey to defeat the Pokémon League. Specifically Dream. He wants to beat Champion Dream. Tommy’s starter is a Rufflet, who is a bit of a little shit (just like him) and likes to try and fight random people (just like him.)

And then we’ve got his buddy Tubbo, the gym leader of the city of Snowchester. He’s a Normal-type specialist “on vacation”. Definitely isn’t ignoring his duty as gym leader to fuck around with his friends. He left most of his Pokémon at the gym, but he kept his Dubwool and has managed to get emotionally attached to a Skiddo on his journey.

And then there’s Ranboo! He’s technically Elite Four Member Technoblade’s intern, but he’s going around the region with hopes of becoming a professor, actually. He’s kinda nervous about battling a lot of the time. Not that he’s bad at it, but because he gets so caught up in the process of making decisions that he usually ends up telling his Espurr to go fucking apeshit.

And then there’s the other set of main characters, the Fiancés! Only uh. They’re not fiancés. They’re Investigative Reporter Karl and two dudes he met at the airport.

Karl is first. He’s a reporter coming in from Unova to check out rumors of an emerging evil team (because this is Pokémon.) He’s also constantly getting bullied around by Celebi, the time travel Pokémon. He’s not one for battling, so he just has two little shits he takes with him for emotional support (and to make his job of breaking and entering into places much easier.) He’s got a Goomy for the express purpose of pretending to be weaker than he is, and a Spoink for psychic abilities.

Then there’s Sapnap. He’s an Elite Four member, actually, but he’s designated himself to be Karl’s tour guide and bodyguard. (They got emotionally attached to each other very quickly.) He, Dream, and George all went on their first Pokémon journey together, and now they’re all at the top of the Pokémon league… for better or for worse. His current partner is a Pancham he found hiding from a Magikarp; they have matching bandanas. But he also his his original starter, Blaziken, with him as an ace up his sleeve.

And then there’s Quackity, a con artist that tried stealing Karl’s wallet and got his ass chased down by a very angry Spoink. He doesn’t really battle. Really. He’s just a guy, really. His only Pokémon is Ducklett. Really. He definitely doesn’t have an overpowered little Weavile with him as well for special occasions. He definitely doesn’t have a full team of Ice types back at the Las Nevadas gym waiting for him to return.
