DxP REWRITE - Safe Travels

Under the simple package paper wrapping, Emmet found a very old, yet well-cared for bound journal written very neatly in the old Sinnohese dialect. Since that rainy day, he kept it on him always in one of his coat’s inner pockets.

Skyla & Elesa are here as Emmet’s ride to Sinnoh (after a very fast packing & change of clothes after Skyla delivered Ansy’s letter to him). They probably aren’t going to stick around, but Emmet would’ve wanted them with him here.

DxP REWRITE - Emmet

Meet DxP’s version of Emmet! When I played BDSP I thought Barry was…annoying lol. I had the idea for this story around the time I decided to finally play Shining Pearl, so I had the thought of just naming the rival “Emmet”.

When I squinted, I saw Barry’s striped jacket as Emmet’s striped Subway Boss coat, & interpreted his impatient running around as looking for clues about Ingo together with Ansy & Ikrit.

Apart from that, Emmet’s about the same as he is canonically: likes to spread smiles as much as he likes to smile himself, & “likes winning more than anything else!”

He seems to favor Electric, Bug, & Steel types as well as fossils. I could’ve just given him his Unovan team, but in my headcanon, there’re customs rules about that (my reasoning for why we can only have Pokemon that’s in each game). Although, it does appear that he has a little stowaway passenger who hid in his cap or coat lol.

🔽 After some thinking (mostly thanks to this Sword / Shield Submas run I’m playing), I decided Emmet & Ingo do nickname their Pokémon after rail terms after all lol. Most of them should be pretty easy to figure out - meanwhile, “Yurei” is short for “yureiresha” or “ghost train”, a word I heard constantly in a subbed Submas compilation from the anime lol.

UPDATE: As you can see, I decided to update these character profiles with new art, & a cleaner design that allows for more info! If you want to compare / contrast, here’s the older version:

DxP REWRITE - Mizumi

Meet Mizumi! She shares a lot of traits with her descendant, though is maybe even more optimistic & reckless lol. As this is set 2 years after Legends Arceus, she is indeed a girl from the modern era who saved the Hisui region together with the Creation Trio & Arceus as part of the Survey Corps. She is also the youngest & the smallest of the cast, standing at 4’8”.

She’s inspired by my IRL great-grandmother Hiyoko (who married my 6 foot something great-grandfather lol). Like me, Ansy only heard good things about her from older family members, though have never met her herself (except at the Crystal Pool).

PS: have a very uncle-niece photo of her with Ingo 😊

SxV Epilogue - Who…?

Legends say that should one look upon the shimmering waters of the Crystal Pool, one can meet spirits from the past…& Legends always have at least one grain of truth.

DxP REWRITE - Small Talk

I feel like Emmet & Ingo would know where all the best railways are in the world, Galar definitely being on that list. Meanwhile, Ansy sometimes reverts to her old shy, awkward self in moments like this - she very much wants to help Emmet feel better, but also wants to be careful what she says
