Theres So Much More I Could Say About This Sunny Aaaa - Tumblr Posts
Fractured Wishes Sunny
Aka Pokemon Villain Basil AU
Sunny is a teen who has a very defined moral compass. He's a rich kid who put off his journey due to not being confident about caring for himself or any magical creatures he may be traveling with.
Meeting Aubrey is what managed to convince him that a pokemon journey would be beneficial.
Notes on Sunny's character and his team below!
Sunny has three Pokemon!
Indeedee
He started his journey with his 'partner' Indeedee. He grew up with the Indeedee taking care of him, and the lil guy also reminds him to take care of himself.
The Indeedee is a male that has the nickname Bess.
Bess is not a battling pokemon and cannot hold his own in a fight. He is purely present to take care of Sunny and lessen his anxieties.
Gothita
Gothita is the first pokemon that Sunny actually caught. This Gothita is a female named Lotte (lot-tay) and she seems to have a hard time evolving.
Lotte is quite clingy to Sunny, and her favorite thing to do is sit with Sunny and take in scenery.
Plot wise, the reason she struggles to evolve is because this line of pokemon tends to have the ability to see the future. I'm trying to cover up any potential plot holes by making sure she isn't evolved to her last stage until after the truth that Basil is a villain is revealed.
Larvesta
Larvesta is the second pokemon Sunny managed to catch and befriend! The one he's gotten is a male named Lux.
Lux is a shy pokemon that loves to battle.
I currently don't have a lot of notes on Lux, but I do like drawing Lux and Sunny together. Mainly because I can give them some sort of sun symbolism in the doodles.
Notes on Sunny:
Sunny's character is supposed to be similar to the generic pokemon game 'hero'. He stumbles upon an evil group doing bad things and makes that his own personal issue for the foreseeable future. In the story he is actively trying to track down the evil pokemon team and stop them.
Sunny has a massive grudge against Commander Sunflower(Basil in an evil guy disguise) specifically out of the entire evil team. Meeting Commander Sunflower is what introduced Sunny to the evil team, and the commander absolutely decimated Sunny and Aubrey's attempts to stand up to them. Man pulled out fully evolved level 50s against pokemon around level 15-20 and the heroes took it personally.
Yet, Sunny's character in this au is being one of the antagonists. Because Basil is the protagonist of the au, we are supposed to see the au through his eyes and feel sympathy for him as a character. Sunny actively stands against Basil and his goals. I wanted Sunny and Basil's dynamic to be somewhat of a commentary that a protagonist does not necessarily mean a good person. Sunny is a good person. Basil is a person who has done many bad things for something he truthfully believes in, but he doesn't think he is necessarily a villain. He perceives Sunny as his enemy for standing in his way.
Sunny and Mari have about a 6-8 year age gap. He got his Indeedee as a gift from her Galar journey. She's in Sinnoh with Hero when the au takes place.
Sunny had moved from Johto to Unova when he turned 10. The story starts in Unova and he only really leaves because he met Aubrey.
All of Sunny's pokemon are in Luxury Balls.
