Submas Wanted Au - Tumblr Posts
Imagine, after Akari discovers a way to return home and tells Ingo, he agrees to accompany her as it’s not safe to travel such a dangerous track alone. He informs the Pearl Clan of his  decision, Irida is saddened to say goodbye but understanding of his choice to return to the time he came from. Then Ingo tells his Lady Sneaseler…
He expects her to be upset by his choice, after all she had done form him. Saving his life in the icelands, giving him a purpose among the Pearl Clan, becoming his closest friend in a way that reminded him so much of those warm purple flames that haunt his memory.
Instead of anger or betrayal, she just nods, before turning away and climbing up the mountain. Ingo is left standing alone in the cold wind as he watches her ascent. He then straightens up, tugs his cap down over his eyes, and returns to Jubilife Village.
Hours later, as they’re all saying their final goodbyes before Akari summons Arceus, Ingo can’t help but glance toward the mountains after every hug or handshake. Irida tries to comfort him, assuring she’ll make absolutely sure that whoever fills his position will take the best care of Lady Sneasler and her kits.
It’s then that the clawed Noble of the Highlands makes her appearance, accompanied by some of her mature sneasel offspring and her basket clearly carrying something heavy within it. Ingo is surprised but grateful to see her one last time.
Except it’s not the last time at all, as Lady Sneaseler hands her eldest kit a razor claw and then joins Ingo beside Akari as every one watchers her kit evolve into the next Pearl Noble of the highlands.
After the initial shock Ingo quickly realized what this all meant and is so very moved that she would choose to stay beside her warden. He asks if she’s sure, as while he can’t remember the details of his home, he knows it’s dramatically different from Hisui and she may become the only one of her kind. She just smirks and opens her basket to reveal her latest clutch of eggs, safely secured in enough fur, feathers, and foliage for a safe travel to their new home.
And so, this is how just a few weeks later, after finally being reunited at long last with his brother, Emmet got to experiance the joy of being severely poisoned by a half dozen tiny purring sneaslets.
YO CAN I GET A RECAP ON THE SUBMAS WANTED AU? IM VERY CONFUSED AND INTERESTED HERE WHATS GOING ON LOL
Ok, I ended up having to rewrite this like three times because I didn’t want to make it too long. I tried to keep it as compact as I could, if you have any questions I’d be happy to expand on it.
(please note that I’m still plotting this story out and haven’t had much time to work on it so there’s still allot of gaps I’m trying to fill.)
ALRIGHT HERE WE GO
Akari discovers a second Arc-phone while shiny hunting in the Icelands. On this phone she only finds half finished notes on Snorunt and what looks to be a video log. Specifically, this Zorua/Zoroark video. She recognize the person’s voice and realizes the phone must have been Ingo’s. He must have arrive here just like she did if he had this phone, but then must have lost whatever memories he had of that arrival in the Zoroark attack.
She takes the phone back to him, and as she explains it/shows him the video Ingo has that weird experience of watching a memory he can’t recall. Then! Both phones suddenly react to being held by the correct person and a new feature is unlocked. A PC storage feature! They can now store pokemon into each phone. They also get notified of a new mission, ‘capture x number of each Hisui pokemon’, and next to the little reward notification it reads ‘return home’.
So they do that, then say a heartfelt goodbye to every one. Arezu, notably, gives Akari one last hair styling for free. On a whim Akari chooses the tied back style in white so to match with her lil Zorua.
Meanwhile, the events of my earlier post play out when Ingo goes to say goodbye to lady Sneaseler. Ending with the noble choosing to go with him to the future along with her basket full of her latest clutch of eggs.
They then arrive in modern Sinnoh! Where they, through shenanigans I’m still figuring out, are accused of stealing their Hisui pokemon from the new fancy totally not evil pokemon research lab. And the fact that Akari introduced herself to a cop as a member of the Galaxy Team, hoping that could make her seem credible in this time,  is not helping their image either.
So Ingo and Akari are labeled as wanted suspects in the theft of multiple highly endangered pokemon. What images they could get of them from security footage and shaky phone pictures are spread across the news. Due to the new hair and poor pictures, Akari is not recognized as Dawn, however Ingo is immediately recognized due to his old uniform and the internet blows up with theories.
Poor Emmet learns of his brothers sudden return and criminal acts all at once when cornered by reporters outside the subway station. Elesa saved him and they are contacted by the police to ask what he knows. He knows nothing and asks them what they know and they tell him they can’t divulge that information during an ongoing investigation. Emmet and Elesa both go ‘fuck that’ and book tickets to Sinnoh.
Due to the lack of info on Akari, her light hair, and her closeness to Ingo, people start theorizing for a hot minute that she’s Ingo’s secret criminal daughter who pulled him into a life of crime! That excitement eventually dies down until it’s reported that she referred to Ingo as ‘Uncle Ingo’ and the internet is set ablaze again. This time with theories that she’s Emmets secret crime daughter who he abandoned so his brother left to join her in her life of crime!
Everything after is still wibbly wobbly, though I now have the idea of when Ingo and Emmet first reunite. I also definitely want to include team galactic as well because Drama. I plan to sit down and write a proper timeline out soon, but haven’t had the chance. You folks have been so kind, giving me ideas and helping me expand my own, I’m really glad so many are interested!
Went through you Submas Wanted AU for the past hour or so and am now verrry much hooked!
That said, I kinda imagine that while on the run from the researchers, Ingo gets hurt and is unconscious and before anyone can react, Akari is crying, trying to shake him awake, only to throw her mask off and glare at them with slighly glowing eyes (her eyes aren't as bright as Ingo's but her bond with the amount of ghost types she acquired in Hisui effected her a bit) and out of response to Akari's emotions and the dire situation at hand, Zorua evolves into a Zoroark with a loud howl, just as Akari coldly commands "Bitter Malice" towards the researchers. (All the researchers are frozen while their pokemon are equally fainted)
Pretty sure it might be ooc and won't fit the AU but like, my brain said: why not add a wee bit more angst? I couldn't myself...
-Nezu
My Daring anon, you are touched by Apollo because I already have something very similar planned!! Though the glowing eyes due to her ghostly companions is a genius touch I would be grateful to incorporate into the story.
Also?? I love angst, and this story will have its fair share of it. It’s just also going to have a healthy helping of humor and comfort as well.
Example: the angst of the situation the causes her Zorua’s dramatic evolution into a Zoroark! And then later, once Ingo and Akari are safe and on the mend, you’ll have her newly evolved pokemon awkwardly/adorably having to get use to her much longer limbs and bigger size. She wants to curl up in Akari’s lap but she’s too big so instead she pulls Akari into her own lap.
Former/reformed Team Galactic Admin you say? Hmm... Based on the fact on one of your old posts of how he's questioned if Team Galactic should keep trying to search for Cyrus, I feel as though he would be helping Ingo and Akari after also hearing about what Team Galactic used to be. The times of The Galaxy Expedition Corps. Being seen as Cyrus' second in command and the strongest Admin too- I like to think he's been dealing with the remains of Team Galactic for Ingo and Akari while also low-key helping them by sending false leads to their location to authorities- though, imagine the public outcry once he's found out. Team Galactic's strongest admin, helping these Pokemon Thieves- people are really cemented and thinking Akari might be Cyrus' heir and new the leader taking after him. (Funny idea though highly unlikely: Cyrus is actually that one admin helping the Duo. He, after a long time (for him) being stuck in the Distortion World, somehow sees the past once he bonded with Giratina, learning the error of his ways upon seeing himself and his past actions as well as Volo's- well... He cannot make up for the shit he caused. He can, however, try to earn some form of redemption and helping Akari deal with the authorities before things can clear up. His weird way of apologizing and saying thank you before he goes back to his exile in the distortion world once more) -Nezu >:3
At this time I will say Cyrus will not be making an appearance in this fic. Saturn however..,
This is a great idea for Saturn! He can have a little ‘learning the error of his ways’ and redemption, as a treat. After a bit of an identity crisis  of course. And it will drum up controversy later for Ingo and Akari once his and team galactics involvement is discovered!
And it’s good for team galactic to have someone competent wrangling them on their new path to turning over a new leaf. They’re still a bit confused but they got the spirit.
Ooo, everyone calling Akari Cyrus heir… which is great because I will be writing out the Hisui goodbyes and Professor Laventon and Captain Cyllene will both have a touching farewell where they assure her she will always be a respected member of Galaxy Team.
I love this and will definitely be keeping this in mind!
