Before And After

Kieran brain syndrome isn’t going away so I have to keep drawing him

I wanna infodump about my Warden Kieran AU!

Ok so, Kieran has amnesia, it's basic knowledge when it comes to this AU. But I decided he would have it not just for angst reasons but for other reasons too!

What I want to focus on is how Kieran views himself that is contradicted by a pokemon he has!

So basically, the first memories that will come back are the most recent, the ones during the Indigo disk, but not before Area Zero. Kieran would then start believing that he was a bad person where he was before Hisui, but at the point this would start happening he would have a Togepi, Egg:](that's her name).

And Egg is a very obvious contradiction, and may come a a comfort to him, as said by Laventon/the Pokedex she it comes to the Evo line!-

Togepi: This ovate is frequently mistaken for a moving egg she encountered out in the fields or in the mountains, it's guileless smile soothes the soul

Togetic: No records exist of Togetic being seen in the wilds. Rumors abound that it evolves under the loving care of a trusted human companion, upon whom the Pokémon then bestows great joy.

Togekiss: Scant few have ever sighted this Pokémon. After studying what literature remains, I am certain Togekiss will reveal itself when peace reigns in the land.(Other Pokedex entries mention that they only interact with those of pure heart, or those who respect another's rights and avoid needless strife, which Kieran does)

I've decided to interpret that the Togekiss line will also focus on those who are naturally kind, but need peace of mind, which is what Kieran is going through.

TLDR: Kieran thinks he's a awful person, but he's got a walking egg to tell him that he isn't.

WE’LL KILL ‘EM WITH OUR MUSIC!

What if Emmet inexplicably appears in Hisui and he’s found passed out in the Crimson Mirelands by the Diamond Clan? Who assume that he’s Ingo because… well they’re identical twins.

So Adaman goes to Irida and informs her that they found her warden. 

“Don’t worry,” he says, “Ingo is recovering back at the Diamond Settlement. We think he ran into a horde of Paras. You know how vicious those little guys can be.” 

At this Irida is very confused, because she was just talking with Ingo two minutes ago at the training grounds, and he is doing just fine.

…so they come to the most logical conclusion. 

It must be a Zoroark disguised as Ingo! 

This explanation seems to make a lot of sense to Adaman. It would explain why the coat was white instead of black. Sometimes Zoroark make mistakes when they transform into people.

So they call in Akari because why wouldn’t they? She’s usually called in for things like this. They lead her to the tent they have Emmet in and tell her that they think there’s a Zoroark disguised as a human in this tent, and they want her to break its disguise. 

As soon as she steps into the tent she knows he isn’t a Zoroark. Ingo’s mentioned remembering someone who looks like him, and you can’t really get any more alike than this. Other than the clothes and the fact that he’s actually smiling, they’re identical! 

But they want her to prove it, so, sighing and thinking of the poor Sudowoodo that she doused with a water pulse several months ago, she pulls out an empty pokeball and lobs it at him. 

He catches the first one inches from his face (With admiration: “Whoa! Nice arm! Are you trying to take my eye out?”) The next one lands squarely on the top of his head and bounces off without opening. 

While Emmet clutches his head and spits expletives because OW, she wasn’t exactly trying to be gentle, Akari turns to Adaman. 

“See? If he was a Zoroark, the pokeball would have at least opened. Besides, do you really think a Zoroark would know that many curse words?”

“A Zoroark? Of course I’m not a Zoroark,” Emmet says, shaking his head. “I am Emmet. I’m looking for my twin brother, Ingo. Do you know where I can find him?”
