WARNING: SPOILERS FOR LIGIT ALL OF SCARLET AND VIOLET
<<~🌼~>>
Ok. So I’m like dead set on Birar being the main villain of Indigo Disk, but I wanted to elaborate a bit on my theory:
Briar is a descendant of Heath, who was a writer and historian. The other professor (I’ll be using Turo for this so it’s easier to write) isn’t even a professor at all- he’s an author, admiring Heath’s work long after his death. Later in life, Turo meets Sada, who also admires Heath, and Briar, who wishes to continue her grandfather’s research by going down to Area Zero again to find Terapagos. Turo and Sada fall in love during the expedition, but they also find the Paradox Pokemon, along with Miraidon and Koraidon, which the team takes in and keeps in their lab located in Area Zero.
Later, Sada gets pregnant with her and Turo’s son, Arven. They take a break and move into the greenhouse next to the lighthouse in Cabo Poco, much to Briar’s dismay. She tries to convince Sada and Turo to come back and bring Arven with them after his birth, to which the parents turn down the offer. Within the time that Arven grows up, Briar becomes a teacher at Blueberry Academy, and decides to visit one day. Sada and Briar get into an argument about the expedition, but Briar manages to convince Sada to continue the expedition with pity points.
Turo reluctantly brings Arven along into Area Zero due to Briar’s request and gets the boy a Maschiff (“So it would be easier to watch him”) as a present. Briar’s insistent nagging of Sada to continue for the good of Paldea makes Sada start neglecting her son, and he befriends Koraidon as a result. Miraidon becomes friendly with Koraidon as well, but Briar is only concerned about finding Terapagos so she can receive the power of the Terastal phenomenon. Fueled by this, she keeps Sada away from those Briar perceive as “threats” to the expedition, namely Turo and Arven.
Turo, concerned about his fiancé's well-being, tries to convince her to come back home and take a break, leading to an argument between them that makes Sada realize her misdeeds. She tells Briar that she and her family will no longer be participating in the expedition, only for another argument between the two women to unfold. Briar, snapping, realizes that the only way Sada will stay is if Turo and Arven are gone.
Soon after Maschiff evolves into Mabosstiff, Briar causes a security breach after intentionally hurting Miraidon to make Koraidon rage. Sada pushes Turo out of the way, and Mabosstiff saves Arven, only for Sada to get killed on contact and for Mabosstiff to get almost killed. Briar tries to convince Turo to stay, but he refuses, breaking off of the expedition and bringing Koraidon and Miraidon with him, seeing that the two Pokemon are his responsibility now. Briar goes back to Blueberry Academy, now not being able to go down to find Terapagos without a permit.
Turo goes into a spiraling depression, creating an AI version of Sada that later realizes its purpose and hides in Area Zero. Turo spirals, leaving Arven and Koraidon in the lighthouse and retreating to the greenhouse with Miraidon, telling his son to never leave the lighthouse until his return with the Scarlet Book while Turo himself takes the Violet Book with him. Turo spends his days trying to pinpoint the location of AI Sada… Until a familiar face greets him.
The familiar face tells him about how she’d seen Arven leave the lighthouse and give Koraidon to some kid trainer who didn’t know what they were doing, and that Turo’s son, the trainer, and two other kids were going into Area Zero. Turo, taking advantage of this, activates a duplicate Miraidon that is extremely hostile towards the group to slow them down, only for AI Sada to stop it. Turo, now knowing AI Sada’s location, takes control of it, hoping that by beating the kids, she’ll return to him. The trainer that Arven had given Koraidon to beat her, which makes Turo lose control of her. AI Sada retreats into the past via a time machine, and Turo sobs into his hands…
… Before he feels a sharp object tear into his chest. He flops over the desk, blood staining his ragged clothes, leaving only Briar standing before him, having had enough of his failure. Now that Sada and Turo were out of the way, she only needed to get their son out of the way… And with the transfer project of Naranja and Blueberry Academy that Cyrano had specifically planned out for her, she would simply use Arven’s little friends to lure him in.
“… And that’s where you come in,” Briar says, her gaze looming over the boy, who stands with his back to her. “I hope you’ll prove your worth, unlike that useless man. Don’t disappoint me, Kieran.”
Anyways thanks for coming to my Ted Talk
PEOPLE KEPT SENDING ME THAT ONE PROJECT VOLTAGE DRAWING AND I KNEW WHAT I HAD TO DO This is actually related to the horrible lizard siblings au so explanation under the cut AHAH
SURPRISE MIRAI AND KORAI BOTH HAVE BATTLE FORMS EVEN AS HUMANS AHAH. Here's a draft of Mirai's, even in the finished image that might not be the final design, but it's close enough for me to post and call it good for now.
Mirai meets Hatsune Miku REAL
Winged King and Iron Serpent, you both look amazing in either of your forms! What do you think about Dialga, what does he look like, and do you both look up to him as a fellow Legendary Pokémon? You both deserve all the love and sandwiches in the world! 😊👍
Thanks for the question! This was a fun one.
Consider Dialga open for questions as well! He's quite prevelant in this au so you will for sure be seeing more of him. Just beware, he isn't the most fond of humans.
Check alt text for image description/transcript 🤍
Just wanted to update as well and say that annonymous asking is turned on now. I have no idea why it was turned off in the first place, and sorry if that scared anyone off, but its enabled now! Ask away annons!
Also this took forever designing Dialga's gijinka form was a task </3
Hi Korai and Mirai! How did yall meet each other? O:
Yeah. Yeah.
Thanks for the question!
Check alt text for image description/transcript 🤍
And dont mind Korai's lack of scars I'll fix it eventually LMAOOO
I can imagine how Koriadon got the scars on his face, but WTF happened to Miriadon's LEG!? Are you okay robo-lizard?
WELL HELLO THERE- It's been a while! Had an insane couple of months but now it seems I have a brief moment of peace to answer some asks so graciously given to the lizard kiddos.
Thank you for being patient! I will try to reach all asks if I can, I do genuinely appreciate all of them and feel free to send more if you want to.
Also there are image descriptions/transcripts in the alt text of these images! In case you can't read my handwriting or otherwise.
This'll be the main info post for this au, so it might be updated with any info I find important heheh. Or when I finish these images cus theyre so CRUNCHY
Below is au summary + refs and other information that will be added over time
Miraidon and Koraidon are a massive secret in this au, as well as the other paradox pokemon and Area Zero. However unlike the other secretive paradox pokemon, Miraidon and Koraidon are sentient and intellegent in this au, making their life in hiding a bit hard.
However that changed when they found they both had alternate humanoid forms they could change into at will. Instead of having to hide for the rest of their lives under Arven's care, they could exist as humans and actually live their lives- Though maybe not in the way they had expected.
Turns out the explanation for their alternate forms is the fact all legendaries here have one, which they find out later when they're taken under the other legendary's wings (specically Dialga).
Update 9/16/2023
Dialga's reference. As explained in this post, Dialga is an employer/mentor sort of figure for Mirai and Korai. What exactly they do for him is yet to be explained.
*sending hugs and love to the lizard boys*
BIBIES!! You two are so precious to me!! 🥺💖
ASK ANSWERING TIME YIPPIEEE You heard it here, they think YOU are EPIC
Hahaa got more free time, and i've had pokemon brainrot so time to work on this au again!
For context, in this au Koraidon and Miraidon are sentient. I had a conversation with some friends about how since the two legendaries are intellegent here, they might help young Arven where they could. We love Arven narrowly avoiding death via lizard sympathy
(Update about Ask the Lizards below :])
SIDENOTE- Very sorry I havent answered more asks about Mirai and Korai! I will hopefully get back on it soon, just wanted to say something aha. I appreciate your asks very, very much, and I see them! I was just busy for a time heheh <3 Thanks for your patience nonetheless :3 And feel free to ask questions if you want, my ask box is still open!
hey miraidon, since the pokemon you're based off of is a robot, are you also a robot or closer to a cyborg?
Huh, the more you know!
HEY YALL, I've been wanting to draw more of the lizards but imma be real I got no ideas AHAHOIFW. So feel free to ask them questions! I'll do my best to draw the answers <3
