HELLO! dear Submas fan! I come to you w/an AU of my own surrounding the Subway bosses of my own. Buckle in this is gonna be a long one*Clears Throat*
Concept: What if instead of Ingo having Amnesia, EMMET,ELESA, and all of Unova are forced to forget Ingo? because poke'god said so
Ingo would still remember his life in Hisui & would be depressed. his brother, his pokemon, his life would be taken away from him & now he's stuck in ancient Sinnoh. God does he miss trains
Of course he's still use train references when he talks and now he can expain to the people of Hisui what the actual fuck is a train(maybe he'll be one of the 1st architect for trains or somethin idk)
It would take longer to bond w/Lady Sneasler & his Hisui team, feeling like he's replacing his beloved team back home, especially his partner Chandelure. He knows Emmet would take care of them, but he still misses them terribly
He would still be the Pearl Clan Warden thou
He would stick out like a sore thumb even more in this AU
Ingo would be more determined to help the MC & look for a way for both of them to go home
Ingo hates Volo and Arceus w/a burning passion. Would cuss them out every chance he gets
Emmet would have no idea who his brother is, as far as he's concerned he's an only child. Though he feels lonely at times, like no one can quite understand him. Elesa and his Pokémon, sure but he cant help but feel like somethings missing. He would often dream of a man in black who wears the same face & no smile
His Pokémon would have no memory of their trainer, thinking they've been Emmet's all along. Though they cant remember how they met Emmet . Emmet cant remember where and when he caught his other 6 pokemon
Emmet would run the Subway by himself, its a taxing job but one that he loves. Sometimes he cant help that something is missing but WHAT?
When he's at work, he would sometimes mix up to the 2 teams, so everyone gets a chance to shine
REFUSES to use earthquake under any circumstance!
He sometimes dream about having a sibling, what would it be like? yet his thoughts always go back to himself...in all black. Is it a Zoark playing tricks w/him? why would Zoark bother to look like him but in all black & no smile on his face?
And so goes my 1st ever Pokémon AU! I hope u like & get inspired by it!
OHhhh! This is definitely an interesting AU idea! Poor Ingo
It's one thing to forget everything, but to be the only one aware of him even having existed back home? Also just from everyone else's perspectives, having someone so important to you just... wiped from your mind and you having no idea? Horrifying! And devastating! Is Ingo even aware of everyone having forgotten or does he get a second wave of despair when he returns home? Oughh... Stuff with memory always really gets me for some reason.
Of all things it reminded me specifically of the dialogue of Goner Kid from Undertale actually
"Have you ever thought about a world where everything is exactly the same…
Except you don't exist?
Everything functions perfectly without you…
Ha, ha… The thought terrifies me."
You should absolutely keep working on this AU if you're feeling passionate about it, it has a lot of good potential for ideas to explore! I'd love to see more of it.
I definitely feel inspired to keep working on my own AUs now! :D … if only I could find the time for it haha
