Commissioned Ia's friend, Amy - she nailed them 😭
Hicks and Cherebae
aka the greatest platonic relationship of all time
Dressed up for a presentation - doubled as his outfit for work at the trainer's school and gym
And a couple of casual weekend outfits
He's been reverting back to wearing glasses lately.
Genesect-Related Stuff
Sird, Charon, Hikari, Ruby, Crys, Touya, Nejiki (Hibiki may know; he knows that the original Genesect exists.)
2011 PROJECT TRACE Cheren and Hikari (aka the martyrs) basically babysit Charon while he runs tests on the Genesect Cheren ends up taking the Genesect into his care with Sird's blessing. He begins recording observations and writing reports on Accel's progress, and keeps in touch with Sird. Maintenance Madame Boss attempts to get Crys to spill about the Genesect's whereabouts, wanting it for "protection", and burns her in the process. Sird ends up with her own Genesect, Nexus-6, which she captured in the wild. Although Accel was the original one made of Guillame, there apparently was a second prototype that broke away. Cheren uncovers a feature that Accel has: hyperdrive. When it is severely damages, its speed spikes temporarily.
2012 Ghetsis pushes Team Plasma to create a brand new set of Genesect based off the original design by Guillame, but with better stats. He gives a shiny one to one of his best grunts, Cathal, to train with it and report its nature. Meanwhile, Unova is getting abnormally cold. Orm, Touya, and Cheren investigate The Giant Chasm, and find out that Kyreum is gone. Sird also warns Cheren and Touya about Ghetsis' plans. Meanwhile, Cathal has returned the shiny Genesect back to Ghetsis. Turns out, he has created a small army of Genesect. Unfortunately, just before he could put them in motion for his plans, the laboratory blew up, and they fled. POKEMON BLACK AND WHITE 2 PLOT
2013 POKEMON BLACK AND WHITE 2 PLOT Maintenence with Genesect - Accel is upgraded to hover mode. Cheren often visited Sird, and had Accel interact with Nexus-6 for observations. They also developed a plan on finding the missing Genesect army. Also, after many failed attempts, they created a steel drive, the first new type of drive.
2014 Less focus on Genesect research due to mega-evolution. Originally, Cheren was going to do his junior/senior thesis on the Genesect, but since the pokemon was kept secret from the general public, he went with a new topic. In his spare time, he continued working with Accel, who has been disciplined well from his living weapon tendencies in battle.
2015 Sird finishes a feather drive - turning the techno blast into a flying-type move (essentially a powerful gust move). She suggests Cheren beta-test it, as well as to keep on alert in Unova, as there have been tracking signs of the Genesect army. HOOPA CRAP

Emery started off with a general team when they travel with Touya's child (girl?) around Unova, but their team becomes more health-based when he travels around Kalos: healing normal, grass, and psychic types.
I also think that Emery becomes the Aspertia gym leader at some point, though I don't know if it's only temporary or not, as his goal is to become a pokemon doctor.
When Hikari becomes pregnant with Emery, Cheren catches an Audino to help look after his child. When Emery goes on their journey, the Audino essentially becomes their first pokemon.

“Well, isn’t she considerate?”
When he looks up, he sees him adjusting a cufflink, chuckling half-heartedly. The same thirty-six inches of distance between them, measured unconsciously as safe. The scene and the context aren’t the same, and yet, here they are, alone, fifteen minutes until midnight. Thirty-six inches. A doorway’s width in between them.
“She likes to meddle, really.” “I’m sure she means well.” “You’re welcome to think that.”
He laughs. “Is that how you talk about your best friend?” “I suppose you wouldn’t want to know how I talk about you, in that case.” As their eyes meet, the older man’s smirk fades. “I wouldn’t mind.”
He walks over to the shelves on the left side of the room, fingers brushing against the edge of the antique record player on display as he passes by. As if they were linked by a rule, the younger man follows, keeping the distance as constant as possible despite his hesitance. He lingers by the record player, checking to see if it is on, as the other scans the library of records for something of interest. “Unfortunately, we cannot hear the live band from inside here. We should put some music on.”
“Agreed.” “It would be only right to keep the same vibe going at a theme party.” His remark makes him crack a small smile. “Surely, it would be respectful to the host.” “Care to do the honors, monsieur?”
At the edges of his periphery, he catches a glimpse of the selected record. He reaches out for it once he realizes what it is. “Bien sûr.”
Out slides the black vinyl disc. He carefully places it on the player. As it spins in a soft whirr, he takes the needle and sets it down carefully. It doesn’t take long for the trumpet to serenade to them.
Now, he follows after him. He watches his hands glide across the top of the sofa in time with the piano’s runs, and how he seems more at ease as he takes a seat. There isn’t enough room to maintain their space, so he stays standing.
When he notices, he asks him what he’s waiting for.
“I’m waiting for you to tell me.”
Puzzled, the younger one pats the seat beside him. “You don’t have to.” “No, no.” He shakes his head. “You haven’t told me how you talk about me.” “Oh.” “Would it be wrong to assume I have a right to know?”
Struggling with words, he looks away. “Wouldn’t it… be obvious, considering how she forced us in here to talk?”
“Obvious, but not completely lucid. Besides, I requested her assistance.” “Siebold.” “Cheren.” He takes a deep breath, closing his eyes. “I’ve been keeping my distance, but I cannot stay silent any longer. I can continue to be friends with you, or I can walk away and never see you again.”
He cannot tell where this is coming from. “Isn’t there a third option?” “I don’t know, is there?”
Seconds tick by, but their hearts are beating faster. Cheren’s jaw tightens for a moment, but he swallows a bit of his pride. “Siebold, please sit down.” “Is that what you wish?” “Yes.”
Like every other time he requested something of him, he obliges.
Words haven’t failed him so badly before. Cheren keeps his eyes cast low, gazing down at Siebold’s hands. He doesn’t know where he is supposed to start.
Perhaps he could start with the truth. “At first… I wouldn’t talk about you. I couldn’t. Not even to my best friend. I kept you a secret for weeks and held it all inside. I don’t know if it was a selfish action, but it wasn’t that I was embarrassed by you. I still felt like I wasn’t good enough.
“Eventually, Hikari found out. Of course, she would. She squeezed it out of me when I was too stubborn to say a word, and even then I couldn’t say much. I… didn’t really need to, though. She could tell how taken I was by you. And even Hibiki knows, thanks to her.” He tries to laugh, but it comes out weakly. He can’t even bear to look at him. “How I talk about you? I can’t fathom my thoughts into words to string them into coherent sentences. I’m left speechless and out of breath, and I cannot even comprehend – despite what you’ve told me – why I would even matter to you. How, in such a short amount of time, you would come to care about someone who was trapped in his own insecurities.
"I don’t talk about you. Not often. But you are dedicated and passionate about what you love. It’s apparent in everything you do – in every dish that you create, in every battle you pursue. You are constantly seeking improvement, never satisfied, but never losing sight of who you are and what you want to be. You never do anything halfway. I think anyone who meets you can understand that about you.”
Taking a moment to look up, Cheren ends up meeting eyes with him. Now, he cannot look away. “You are… patient. Far too patient, I sometimes think. You are kind – accommodating, even. And the way you live in every moment, no matter how fleeting… Could you even think that I would say a single bad word of you?”
Siebold smiles softly, shaking his head. “Mais non. Not at all.”
“God, could you not do that.”
It only makes him laugh as Cheren buries his face in his hands, massaging his temples. He reaches out to grab his hands so that he would look at him again. “Do what, may I ask?”
“Just. Don’t.”
He can’t wipe the smile off his face as he leans in closer, until their foreheads touch. He reaches up to Cheren’s face, his hand resting against his cheek. “All I wanted was you to open up to me.”
The younger man closes his eyes slowly. “Heh. That’s a lie.”
“Now, where’s the lie in that?” “… We were both waiting for something.”
The record stops playing, reaching the end of its playing time.
“Then, what are you waiting for?” “Like I said, you’ve been far too patient. I expected this much.” “You’re running out of time.” “Heh. … So, about that third option…” The voices outside begin counting down in unison. “What was it again?” Ten! Nine! “I would assume… that I would ask you on a date.” Eight! Seven! “A date?” Six! Five! Four! “Let’s not rush it.” “Slow and steady, aren’t you.” Three! “But will you?” Two! Siebold rests his hand underneath Cheren’s chin, tilting his head up slightly. “Yes.” One! Happy New Year!
He leans in just as the beginning notes of "Auld Lang Syne" chime.

variablevoid:
Hey claude as I was reading through that I noticed that I accidentally didn’t finish one of my sentences.
[6:12:44 PM] pom: oh and
[6:12:49 PM] pom: I think Emery would see something
[6:12:51 PM] pom: in that
—in that his father calls this little green guy “sir.”
HE TOTALLY WOULD
---
[5:45:13 PM] pom: I could see him
[5:45:17 PM] pom: easily see him going from like
[5:45:24 PM] pom: his really big sweaters and shorts to
[5:45:40 PM] pom: almost… fashionable?!?! Kpop type stuff
[5:45:44 PM] Claude: YEAH
[5:45:54 PM] Claude: he does actually!!
[5:45:56 PM] pom: nejiki would jsut look him over
[5:46:01 PM] pom: “you look ridiculous”
[5:46:04 PM] pom: “Thank you!”
[5:46:06 PM] Claude: HKFDLSJKFLAJF
[5:46:23 PM] pom: I could see him wearing the sweaters from time to time
[5:46:34 PM] Claude: yeah ;w;
[5:46:34 PM] pom: especially in the cold factory basement hahahahaha
[5:46:46 PM] Claude: omg i bet he’s like his father
[5:46:57 PM] pom: the cold thing right
[5:46:59 PM] Claude: doesn’t complain about it but he doesn’t like the cold either haha
[5:47:04 PM] Claude: yeah!
[5:47:10 PM] pom: XIAO TOTALLY COMPLAINED NEJIKI HAS IT ALL RECORDED
[5:47:20 PM] Claude: HAHAHAHAHHA
[5:47:27 PM] pom: also between you and me
[5:48:21 PM] Claude: ???
[5:48:22 PM] pom: I’m still contemplating this but I -think- nejiki, unless he was dissapointed or disapproving towards emery at the time, would always keep the temperature one degree higher than he did for Xiao.
[5:48:32 PM] Claude: AWW
[5:48:33 PM] pom: Either that or one degree lower. Heh.
[5:48:36 PM] Claude: fjalkdjfalskdfj
[5:48:39 PM] pom: You know how nejiki is.
[5:48:44 PM] pom: The lower probably fits.
[5:48:45 PM] Claude: ;w;
[5:48:50 PM] pom: So say emery was visiting
[5:49:32 PM] pom: and xiao walked in to make sure nejiki wasn’t blowing up his son or something
[5:49:49 PM] pom: “…Is it colder in here than I remember?”
[5:49:52 PM] pom: and emery’s like
[5:49:53 PM] Claude: JFKLSDJF
[5:50:00 PM] pom: “…It feels the same as usual to me.”
[5:50:02 PM] pom: and nejiki
[5:50:03 PM] pom: just
[5:50:04 PM] pom: smirks
[5:50:09 PM] Claude: SIR
[5:50:20 PM] pom: ;^)
[5:50:24 PM] Claude: snickers
[5:50:28 PM] Claude: oh man i was thinking that when when ruby and cheren bring the kids to meet nejiki for the first time nejiki might possibly make some remark about how this is a battle factory not a theme park
[5:50:40 PM] pom: sounds accurate
[5:50:53 PM] Claude: and then auralie would probably run around
[5:50:58 PM] Claude: damon would try to stop her
[5:50:59 PM] pom: OH MY GOD
[5:51:02 PM] pom: DEXTERS LAB
[5:51:06 PM] pom: AUARLIE DEEDEE
[5:51:14 PM] Claude: and emery would just be ????? at everything—OH MY GOD
[5:51:18 PM] Claude: JFKAJSDKFJA
[5:51:29 PM] pom: ok no keep telling me the story
[5:51:46 PM] pom: man nejiki would get like, one of those cages that can come up from the ground
[5:52:02 PM] Claude: OMG
[5:52:02 PM] pom: and if damon had like, jsut grabbed auralie’s arm to stop her
[5:52:07 PM] pom: he would be caught in the cage too
[5:52:10 PM] Claude: OH NO
[5:52:22 PM] pom: then nejiki would just kind of ignore them completely while cheren i dunno fumes or something screw him
[5:52:25 PM] pom: he would like
[5:52:31 PM] pom: walk over to emery
[5:52:35 PM] pom: and-
[5:52:42 PM] pom: hey wait claude what is emery doing at this point
[5:52:53 PM] Claude: he’s just looking at everything with curiosity ;w;
[5:52:58 PM] pom: excellent
[5:53:02 PM] pom: nejiki goes up to him
[5:53:09 PM] pom: and kind of
[5:53:22 PM] pom: appears right next to him with his creepy poker face
[5:53:30 PM] pom: which would probably make emery jump
[5:53:31 PM] Claude: EEP
[5:54:32 PM] pom: and then he would say “No touching. That is for vandals and scandals.” (Get it? Scandals? Touching? Nejiki your sense of humor is just beautiful.)
[5:54:34 PM] pom: AND THEN
[5:54:43 PM] Claude: JFKLJDFLKAJF
[5:54:45 PM] pom: HE WOULD HOLD THAT ANALYZER RIGHT UP TO EMERY’S FOREHEAD
[5:54:46 PM] pom: AND
[5:54:49 PM] pom: BZWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP
[5:54:51 PM] Claude: OH NO
[5:55:06 PM] pom: ok i dunno what happens after that help me out here
[5:55:20 PM] pom: in fact i’m going to go to the bathroom THERE HAD BETTER BE A NICE STORY FOR ME TO READ HERE WHEN I AM ABCK
[5:55:20 PM] Claude: Emery would get all wide-eyed and surprised
[5:55:32 PM] Claude: and probably try to look at his parents but he’s kinda
[5:55:34 PM] Claude: frozen there
[5:56:28 PM] Claude: and Nejiki goes, “Hm. Seems that your forehead to full face ratio is 2.3% smaller than your father’s.”
[5:56:57 PM] Claude: To which Xiao Ren fumes only to get smacked with the analyzer himself!!!
[5:57:00 PM] Claude: BZWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP
[5:58:26 PM] Claude: “Your ratio, on the other hand, seems to have gotten bigger by say, 0.6%? Oh, don’t let that number concern you.”
[5:58:45 PM] Claude: Then Tae Min would be snickering why Xiao Ren fumes and Emery just
[5:58:59 PM] Claude: tugs on his collar, somewhat uncomfortable and confused but
[5:59:02 PM] Claude: still curious????
[6:03:36 PM] pom: WOW
[6:03:37 PM] pom: PERFHENCDLKFdg
[6:03:38 PM] pom: JLFGKDN
[6:03:40 PM] pom: FJDNLKGHJ
[6:03:44 PM] Claude: hehe o vo
[6:03:49 PM] pom: THIS IS THE BEST THING TO COME BACK TO AFTER BRUSHIGN MY TEETH!!!
[6:03:56 PM] Claude: yeha!!!
[6:03:57 PM] pom: FOREHEAD RATIO!! FRICKING!!! WOULD HAVE NEVER THOUGHT!!!
[6:04:00 PM] pom: DOGAMMNGN!!!
[6:04:03 PM] Claude: HAHAHAHAH
[6:04:14 PM] pom: ok ok so I thought of a continuation while I brushed my teeth
[6:04:26 PM] pom: so, most people flinch away or
[6:04:41 PM] pom: swat at the analyzer or steal it or call nejiki creepy right?
[6:05:11 PM] pom: ok ok well
[6:05:25 PM] pom: I imagined Emery kind of just gulping
[6:05:40 PM] pom: and compsing himself, the curiosity getting the better of him
[6:05:43 PM] pom: and
[6:05:55 PM] pom: very careful not to touch anything, including the nalyzer, just like njikie said
[6:05:59 PM] pom: he points at it
[6:06:01 PM] pom: and asks
[6:06:10 PM] pom: “What is this, and how does it work?”
[6:06:15 PM] Claude: AWWWWW
[6:06:19 PM] Claude: he would!!!!
[6:06:29 PM] Claude: why didn’t i think of that omg
[6:06:39 PM] pom: whose mouths would be open during this scene
[6:06:41 PM] pom: not nejikis
[6:06:47 PM] pom: but I feel like it would get really really quiet
[6:06:53 PM] Claude: hehehe
[6:06:55 PM] pom: nejiki’s eyebrows might twitch a little
[6:07:12 PM] Claude: eyebrows
[6:07:17 PM] pom: and I could imagine tae min bringing a hand to his chin and smiling
[6:07:21 PM] pom: and xiao just
[6:07:22 PM] pom: ha ha
[6:07:24 PM] pom: ok not gonna lie
[6:07:51 PM] pom: i aimgine him with his jaw hanging open but then he quickly closes it and looks both surprised and somewhat disgruntled from all the fuming
[6:08:05 PM] Claude: FFFF
[6:08:15 PM] pom: and of course none of this is made any better
[6:08:16 PM] Claude: well it’s good that emery isn’t afraid of nejiki!!
[6:08:30 PM] pom: by the fact that nejiki still looks exactly the same as he did when they first met him
[6:08:41 PM] pom: oh well I
[6:08:50 PM] pom: would not be surprised if he gets afraid
[6:09:05 PM] Claude: omg yeah
[6:09:13 PM] pom: it’s jsut that I feel like in this initial interaction his curiosity is more important
[6:09:20 PM] Claude: and nah i kinda like the idea that he’s more curious than afraid
[6:10:05 PM] pom: I could imagine cheren thinking “no no no no no n no no no non ono no non what are the repercussions of this that’s MY SON”
[6:10:10 PM] pom: “and THAT’s NEJIKI”
[6:10:17 PM] pom: “NEJIKI!!!”
[6:10:30 PM] pom: and maybe he accidentally yells this out loud
[6:10:32 PM] pom: and nejiki
[6:10:40 PM] pom: grins his smarmy, creepy grin
[6:10:42 PM] pom: and yes
[6:10:44 PM] pom: an
[6:10:48 PM] pom: and wow typing
[6:10:49 PM] pom: AND SAYS
[6:10:52 PM] pom: “Yes?”
[6:11:10 PM] pom: because really nejiki is just too amused
[6:12:29 PM] Claude: JFLDJFAL
[6:12:44 PM] pom: oh and
[6:12:49 PM] pom: I think Emery would see something
[6:12:51 PM] pom: in that
[6:12:52 PM] Claude: man i think it’s perfect that nejiki is emery’s godfather
[6:13:08 PM] pom: yeah duh cause nejiki is totally 100%
[6:13:16 PM] pom: part of this complete balanced breakfast
[6:13:26 PM] Claude: djflkdjflkaj
[6:13:43 PM] pom: emery would ask all the things that it never really crossed anyone’s mind to ask or maybe they were too weirded out to ask like
[6:14:05 PM] pom: “Nejiki, you’re about the same age as my parents, correct?”
[6:14:16 PM] pom: And he would say ‘correct’ as soemthing he picked up from the little gnome himself.
[6:14:34 PM] pom: “So then, why haven’t you appeared to age at all?”
[6:15:25 PM] pom: And nejiki wouldn’t even turn around. And it would be verrry awkardly silent for what seems like the longest time when suddenly BEEP
[6:15:47 PM] pom: and the lights in the factory all go out except for the eeriest red ones
[6:16:12 PM] Claude: JFKLAJDFLKJADFK
[6:16:20 PM] pom: and SUPER FAST Conveyor belts suddenly whisk emery right out of there and he gets dumped on the front lawn of the battle factory.
[6:16:39 PM] Claude: JFLKSDJKLFAJSF WHY
[6:17:04 PM] pom: and when he goes back to try to open it, he finds that it’s on lockdown and there’s a coded message on the LCD in the front which, depending, could say one of two things:
[6:17:45 PM] pom: 1) A coded puzzle for how to supposedly get back in which may or may not lead to another door that says “CLOSED”
[6:17:58 PM] Claude: OH O
[6:18:00 PM] Claude: *NO
[6:18:37 PM] pom: 2)A coded note that says “Reduce the amount of water added to the plant by 21% for optimal microbot performance.”
[6:18:46 PM] pom: because of course cheren’s plant is still around!
[6:18:59 PM] pom: and of course nejiki keeps tabs on it
[6:19:02 PM] Claude: AWWWW
[6:19:04 PM] Claude: …
[6:19:09 PM] Claude: microbots huh
[6:19:12 PM] pom: I wasn’t kidding
[6:19:19 PM] Claude: snickers
[6:19:23 PM] Claude: djfkaljf
[6:19:32 PM] pom: those microbots are how nejiki knew emery’s name and what emery lookedl ike before meeting emery
[6:19:33 PM] pom: ha
[6:19:34 PM] pom: ha
[6:19:38 PM] Claude: JFKAJSDFKJSKDJFAK
[6:19:39 PM] pom: hahaha AHaH HAHAHAHAHAHA
[6:19:39 PM] Claude: DFJALJF
[6:19:40 PM] Claude: FJD
[6:19:41 PM] Claude: SFAJDFLAJDFSDF
[6:19:47 PM] Claude: NOOOOO
[6:20:00 PM] pom: so basically when cheren and the husbando visit
[6:20:07 PM] pom: nejiki points to each child in turn
[6:20:14 PM] pom: and says their names
[6:20:15 PM] pom: in monotone
[6:20:18 PM] Claude: good god
---
[2:30:21 PM] pom: yanno… Hikari goes to Nejiki when she’s overloaded too doesn’t she…
[2:30:22 PM] pom: heheh
[2:30:24 PM] pom: genetics
[2:30:35 PM] Claude: I suppose so—OMG
[2:30:48 PM] pom: I really like parallels!
[2:30:56 PM] pom: but I feel like
[2:31:06 PM] pom: whereas Hikari is all emotions and talkign and gushing out her stories
[2:36:55 PM] pom: emery talks more sparingly? Perhaps? I mean, I’m sure there would be instances where he can’t help but to want to tell someone impassive about something that he got upset over or something, cry even, though I don’t know if he would be more likely to try not to cry in front of anyone ever. I could see him going to his parents and siblings as well, but at the same time I feel like someone so polite would worry a lot about being a bother to them—they’re more emotionally invested and talking to them about heavy things might tire them out or frustrate them. I don’t think he would want to do that to his family.
[2:38:44 PM] pom: Yeah and I could see him, on days when he’s morose or discouraged, to just go into the factory and start working on one project or another. Very quietly. And Nejiki wouldn’t mind, and he wouldn’t ask. Nejiki’s good at knowing what’s up and hypothosizing, but he wouldn’t say a word and the session would end up as an almost… therpeutic experience? Like, working on something, keeping your mind occupied on something you can do and accomplish and see a physical result for
[2:41:13 PM] pom: However, I could also see him, if something was bad enough that he couldn’t just sit quietly, talking. Like, talking without worrying about the other party getting overtly distressed or worried or having an outburst or anything like that. And in a way it would be a reminder to stay calm and think logically and let some things pass or even maybe act on other things.
[2:41:43 PM] pom: So basically I think he has this normal level of talking, but if something is off about him he will either talk more or less. Is that… logical? Plausible? I dunno, I can see it.
[2:42:09 PM] pom: In the factory anyways. Stuff inside the factory is easy for me to imagine because YO THAT’S MY HOUSE
[2:47:19 PM] Claude: I think that it is! Hm. Em sometimes cries in front of people when he’s distressed but he tries not to if he can help it
[2:47:58 PM] Claude: And you got the not wanting to be a bother down so either outcome seems plausible
[2:48:23 PM] Claude: I can see him talking less if only because of that?
[2:48:40 PM] Claude: But going to the factory would be good for him hee
[2:50:32 PM] pom: even though it’s way cold, heh
[2:53:16 PM] Claude: Snickers training him to get used to it!!!
[2:53:38 PM] pom: well
[2:53:41 PM] pom: cheren never did
[2:53:43 PM] pom: so who knows
[2:53:56 PM] Claude: Oops
[2:54:09 PM] pom: ( I think nejiki’s jsut still kind of a douchebag hahhaAHAHAHAHAH! but in a not so bad way)
———
[5:05:51 PM] pom: oh yeah did i mention
[5:06:04 PM] pom: you know how nejiki calls all his pokemon greek letters?
[5:06:05 PM] pom: ha ha
[5:06:05 PM] pom: well
[5:06:32 PM] Claude: mhm?
[5:07:31 PM] pom: i could see him calling emery just “m,” like, pronounced “em” or even “mu” like the greek letter m
[5:07:35 PM] pom: ha ha
[5:07:44 PM] Claude: MU
[5:08:06 PM] pom: like maybe if he needs to address emery in writing
[5:08:15 PM] Claude: hehe
[5:08:18 PM] pom: he would use mu except… the actual symbol
[5:08:26 PM] pom: μ
[5:08:28 PM] pom: yeah
[5:08:29 PM] pom: that
[5:08:37 PM] Claude: i think emery would be fond of that
[5:08:44 PM] pom: yeah but that the same time i could imagine
[5:08:51 PM] pom: “what am I, one of your pokemon!?”
[5:09:49 PM] Claude: HAHAHAH
[5:09:56 PM] Claude: probably that would be his first reaction
[5:10:01 PM] Claude: and then it kinda grows on him
[5:11:00 PM] pom: like mold

Thinking about Em’s team (even though he probably doesn’t challenge for badges?) and… Hm.
I wanted to keep the doctor class in mind as that is what he is aiming for, and they typically have healing normal, bug, and psychic types. I also would hope that he would be Aspertia gym leader at some point? Though i dunno. So hm…
Happiny (given to him by a breeder as an egg) Audino (caught while traveling Unova) Leavanny (from father) Aromatisse (caught while traveling in Kalos Porygon (from godparent? hehe) Either togekiss (caught as a togepi), girafarig (caught on a trip to johto) or munna (from grandma and grandpa!)
Squirtle/Blastoise (from father's partner whoops) would end up being more of a companion. I almost get the feeling it would spend most of its time outside of its pokeball actually!
This might not happen anymore, but...
Against his insistence, Hikari goes with him to every appointment. She talks to every doctor and every nurse. She holds his hand in the waiting rooms, although it’s more for her own reassurance than his. It’s too hard for her to imagine a future without him, her lifeline. She has always been too dependent on him.
He is always big on strength. He never let anyone see him cry for Ruby, nor himself. But she knows better. She knows that the reassured smiles he gives his children, nephews, nieces, parents, friends, and even her are just for show. She knows him so well, so she shows enough emotion for them both when they’re alone. She rests her head against his shoulder and lets the tears build up. She breathes heavily as he holds her, assuring her that everything will be fine and he’ll be okay.
Sometimes she thinks he might cry during the few times she leaves his side, but she never has any proof. She would never ask him anyway.
The day he is rushed to the hospital is the one day she isn’t with him, but she gets the call. She is his emergency contact after all. Hikari makes all of the calls, and his children are on their way as soon as they can be. Emery is the first to arrive, and she smiles and strokes his hair as they outside of Cheren’s room. Auralie and Damon show up soon, and she lets them have their moment with their last remaining parent. When they have to go, she kisses all of their foreheads and promises to make sure Cheren is taken care of.
And he is. She barks at every nurse and doctor she encounters, making sure he gets the best care. His primary doctor is honest with them both about Cheren’s condition and how much time he has left, so she makes sure he is as comfortable as possible in his last days. She stays alert and loyal during every talk with every physician and even the meetings with the lawyers to make sure his affairs are in order.
The kids come to visit on what is coincidentally his last day, but no one knows. She arrives with a coffee in hand as they leave, and she once again promises to call them if anything arises.
“You didn’t get me anything?” he asks as she enters, raising an eyebrow. It used to be hard to look at him, so frail and pale. He looks so sick, and it pangs in her chest, but he still speaks with the same dignity as ever. That’ll never change.
“You just ate before the kids got here.”
They smile at one another, and she settles back down in her chair. Almost automatically, she reaches for his hand and their fingers lace together. It is still for her comfort rather than his.
“You should sleep,” she says quietly, discarding her empty cup.
“Perhaps.”
Hikari shoots him her best “mother” smile and he chuckles, closing his eyes and holding his hand back out for her. She takes it, closing her own eyes and rubbing circles against the back of his hand.
“Goodnight, Hikari.”
When she thinks back to it, she realizes that she must have known then. There must have been some part of her that told her that this would be the last time she would hear his voice weave together new words. It would be the last time she would see his eyes open. It would be the last time his skin would feel warm against hers.
But when it happens, she doesn’t seem to know. She says goodnight back to him and drifts off to sleep.
Hours later, she is awoken by the sound of flatlining and rushing doctors.
Father and Child Interactions
Emery decides to wait, then. Before he can pick a place to sit, his curiosity gets the best of him. The walk-in closet is left half-open, suggesting haste. Dad is on a trip in Kalos, so it must have been Father in a hurry. It isn’t that late yet—well, maybe late for a kid with a bedtime. Why was Father forgetful today?
He reached for the handle to slide the door shut, but he saw a glimpse of something red and shiny hidden underneath the hangers and hangers of suits. Crouching down, he could make out their shape in the shadows.
Who… Did these belong to?
By the time Dr. Fisher comes out of the shower dressed and with a towel on his head, he is greeted by his youngest child sitting on the bed with the strangest look on his face and a pair of Le Dame high heels on his lap.
“Father, do you cross dress?”
The towel slips off his head.
“They were on your side of the closet, right? How come you have these?”
“They’re for a benefit walk, Em.”
Em lifts them by the heels. They’re like long spikes. “They don’t look comfy for walking.”
“They’re my own pair. I’ve participated every year since college, so you could say they are broken in well.”
“Huh?”
“Never mind.” Cheren picks up his towel. “No, I don’t cross dress.”
“Oh.”
“I wear them once a year for a good cause, though. How about I tell you about it.”
His mouth twists into a question mark. “Um. Okay.”
---
Well, don’t you look nice, Em. Thanks, father. Trying something different? Mm. Dad helped. Ah, it’s subtle. Yeah. I… Kind of like it, I guess. Do you? I… Got some compliments. ……… … Father? Yes. … It would be easier if I was just like this all the time, wouldn’t it? … I’d be normal. No, you wouldn’t be yourself, Emery. It’s so trouble— They are the troubled ones. People who are insecure about themselves often tear down others who have what they want. Don’t let them win. … Just because something is easy doesn’t mean it’s the right thing to do.

Like seriously if his only son wanted to wear a dress he would have no qualms about it
So when he started to notice that Emery preferred Hikari's son’s hand-me-downs over her daughter’s, he didn’t think there was anything wrong with that
If Emery didn’t want to be dressy, he let him choose what he wanted to wear
Though, trying to figure out what to do with unused presents was a problem maybe Goodwill

Oh my god I almost forgot
Emery and Great-granny Fisher
That woman probably would live to see all of them live up until Emery’s middle school years, I think?
She would keep on calling Emery “EMMY” and it stings like salt in a wound but he doesn’t try to explain he just winces a little then gives the most polite smile he can give
Great-granny Fisher makes Emery really uncomfortable because she just comes off
really
STRONG
Poor boy doesn’t it in him to hate anyone
---
… I don’t know if Cheren would ever be able to use the word husband
haha
maybe when he’s really old and all the kids are born but even then I dunno
I’m still in present-day Cheren’s mindset on these things man do they even actually get married you don’t need to be married to wear rings dammit Cheren I wanted the spoilers
---
I was thinking about it and
I think the only time Cheren would ever pick up a cigarette would be to commemorate an important person in his life
Like, if he ever had a colleague or mentor that helped him throughout his professional career and was known for not being able to kick his cig habit….
I’d say that every death anniversary of this person, Cheren would smoke just one. cigarette.
Just one a year in memory of this guy.
I don’t know if it’ll happen but it’s kinda sad…
---
apparently em is in general a quiet baby but he just. Doesn’t go to sleep when you need him to
Doc keeps bouncing the little babbu and pacing around, half-singing and half-pleading for him to go to sleep, but Em is just staring wide-eyed and sucking on his pacifier. He looks happy though
He probably doesn’t go to sleep unless on car rides
---
I want Emery to find the record player Ruby gave the Fishers while staying with his grandparents one day and end up getting hooked on jazz laughs
---
Oh boy by the time Emery is born, his grandparents (on Cheren’s side) will be in their 80s….
I think after Cheren gets his doctorate, Mr. Fisher decides to make his last career change. The last thing he builds is a flower shop next to the house, for Mrs. Fisher. (They also grow berries snickers)
I want to say that’s how Emery got interested in plants.
(It’s funny; you think with all the pride of being a Fisher, he’d want to open a fishing sport shop, but he says it’s a family hobby.)
Research Pokemon
Editing Cheren’s pokemon list and I think it’d be better to make a separate one for his future research pokemon
Since his focus is on artificial pokemon, he’ll probably end up with one of each of these at some point
grimer
muk
voltorb
electrode
banette
trubbish
garbodor
golett
golurk
burmy
wormadam
rotom??
i don’t think it’ll be likely that he’ll come across mewtwo or deoxys. as for the rotom, i’m not sure how likely that’ll be either, but it’s technically not a legendary? perhaps he’d run into one eventually.
he already has porygon-z (and evolved it from a porygon/porygon2), castform, and a genesect.
boy this will take a while

Family Reconnection and Languages
He sort of gets it. Because of how high-profile he is, being a Unovan gym leader and all, they have heard about his accomplishments. For the most part, they like him, but they refuse to recognize he is gay. In fact, they have deluded themselves into thinking that Hikari is his girlfriend, and later, his wife. He learns from his uncle, Zhong, that there’s no way to change them. Although his grandparents haven’t disowned Zhong, he has lost most of his inheritance and they don’t recognize Shen as anything—not even a friend.
His uncles and aunties are different, though. Zhong is the most accepting, while Huang and his wife are struggling not to be like their parents, since one of their sons is gay. Xiao Ren’s aunt, Mei Li, tries to stay clear of the subject, but her daughters are fans of his partner.
His cousins are pretty cool with him. Most are impressed by their Unovan cousin, others are a little miffed it took him so long to connect with them.
Cheren will take Emery on yearly trips to China when he’s old enough to travel, up until he’s 10-12.
---
I want to say that there are three main things Emery is good at: 1) Languages, 2) Math, and 3) Robotics.
He started learning Chinese and English at the same time, and seemed to retain them well. However, after his first trip to China with Cheren, he seemed to temporarily forget all the English he knew. It scared him a lot when he couldn’t answer or understand what his family or friends were saying. It took him about a week for everything to come back.
Eventually, he starts learning Japanese, too - since he sometimes goes with Cheren to Kanto. He uses Chinese second most frequent to English, so when he’s surprised or caught off-guard, there’s a 50/50 chance he’ll speak in Chinese (I think he'd only learn Mandarin and Cantonese). French ends up being another language he picks up, I think when Siebold starts entering the picture. He becomes fluent in these languages, and possibly picks up another Asian language to round them off. I think in college he’d want to take a linguistics minor or second major to Biology. Other languages he ends up learning (but not being fluent in them) would include Italian, German, and Spanish.
He decided from then on to keep track of his languages. Aside from speaking to Cheren in Chinese majority of the time (except in front of the rest of the family/other people), he trains his pokemon in specific languages (in addition to English): at least two in Chinese, two in Japanese, two in French. Eventually, his team evolves so that there is one for Chinese, another for Japanese, another in French, another in Italian, another in German, and another in Spanish. It helps him train himself to retain the languages.
As for math, it’s pretty much like Rene—he does all his work neatly in pen with minimal mistakes (he’s just that confident). He can do majority of his math work in his head, but he shows all his work. He’s good with the math portion of Physics, but he struggles a little with figuring out what to use. So, he practices a lot (just like with anything else that doesn’t come easily).
Eventually he becomes proficient enough to be Nejiki's prodigy in Robotics - but that's for another time.
