Ooh this one stirs up a lot of complicated thoughts in the big guy

Firstly: He's gonna love on them if they're receptive to it, no questions asked. He has a Golurk, he's very familiar with death, he doesn't mind the macabre ooky spooky aesthetic in the slightest. He probably owns a few skulls, himself (though don't go digging for them).

If you're a goth type, he's absolutely receptive to it (especially as someone who also struggles with smiling lol). He doesn't think he's flattering in all-black though (he is, but he's a stubborn old man who likes the clothes he's made already) so he might not join in unless you bribe him a bit haha

He'd be so doting though. He'd help to ease the pain of a chipped Polteageist's pot, give your Litwick some lamp oil to snack on, keep your Haunter entertained so it doesn't cause mischief where it shouldn't, so on and so forth. He doesn't treat any Pokémon differently than any other, regardless of type (unless they're Floette or a Legendary, in which case he's either very partial to them or tepidly reverent toward them respectively)

That said, he knows where Ghost-types usually come from in the wild. He's seen Phantumps manifest in the woods, he knows how Shuppet and Banette are generally made, and... he is very familiar with how restless spirits constantly course through our everyday lives. He often wonders if, when seeing a Ghost-type Pokémon out and about, if he knew them once as a normal human...

If those thoughts ever come to him while spending time with you, though, he either doesn't share them, or asks careful questions about where you met each of your friends. He doesn't want to rouse too much worry from you, that isn't right. But if you ever catch on, ask if he's thinking about that... oh, he'd weep a little.

Not for anything you've done, mind you, he'll insist, but he's fretful over how nostalgic and sentimental he can get. How difficult it is to grieve when so, so many kind people have passed you by in 3,000 years, how they ought to be able to truly rest... it's a difficult thing to empathize with, nearly impossible, but he'd immensely appreciate it if you stuck with him as he talks this through.

Eventually, he might realize that... if those ghost Pokémon are the spirits of people he once knew, is that such a bad thing? To be able to bond with kind trainers, especially ones like you... maybe that is worth celebrating, not mourning.

If your partners ever seem to recognize him, though, he's back to crying and maybe hugging them while they stare in confusion as the cobwebs in their little brains get tidied up haha

Anon plz, no. Not the angst qwq anything but the angst.

AZ:

-This man is terrified and terrifying. His reaction is basically bulldozing through the hospital staff to get to you, and even security is going to struggle with a guy that big. There’s a minor possibility of him getting the police called on himself.

-If he’s able to be calm enough to come in, it’ll take a bit of maneuvering to get to your hospital room just due to his size. He doesn’t care. He’s coming to see you. Usually a member of Team MZ will come too, in case something happens.

-He won’t eat, he won’t drink, he won’t move, he barely breathes, just sits and stays with you for the first week. He’ll talk if you talk to him. He watches over you when you sleep. Every time a phlebotomist comes in they’re on the receiving end of one of his glares. It’s not their fault, it’s literally their job to stab you and make you bleed like this, but he despises it.

-Depending on the length of your stay, he will slowly start to calm down. He’ll have actual, cordial conversations with the doctors and other medical staff. He’s kind to the food and cleaning staff whenever they come by. He stops glaring when they have to do tests or replace an IV.

-Takes any departure instructions very seriously and makes certain you recover as instructed at home. Physical therapy is followed to a T on a strict schedule. The physician said to do it, you’re doing it.

-If he ever finds out who did this to you..well, he’s not sure. He imagines what he’d like to do, but most likely he’d call the police.

L:

-Oh this man is FRANTIC, but there’s a huge glaring problem. Hospitals are a reporting location and he is a wanted terrorist.

-He sends Team MZ to check for you, or possibly Griselle or Grisham. He’s desperate to hear anything about your condition and is practically stalking the hospital campus like some kind of stray cat at night. He knows it’s not safe to stay in the same area every night, he could get caught, but he needs to know that you’re okay.

-If someone goes back and tells him someone attacked you?? Oh something ugly slowly drags itself to the surface of his soul. He’s barely himself as he feels a kind of dangerous, molten anger flood his system. He’s almost possessed, and lord help the poor soul that attacked you if he finds them.

-The moment you’re out and able to visit him again he’s over the moon and almost weirdly clingy. If he doesn’t live with you get, he’s going to haunt the apartment complex for months, scaring the living daylights out of anyone even remotely out of place at night. The cops get called a lot.

If he does live with you, he’s not leaving you alone for sh*t and you’re just gonna have to get used to it. He’s too terrified of you getting hurt now.

Ivor:

-Very scared for you and is like a bull in a china shop. He’s going to grab whoever informed him of what happened and start shouting VERY LOUDLY about what happened and do they know who’s responsible.

-Security will be called and they aren’t stopping him. He can punch a reinforced steel floodgate open, that man will knock their light out and he will get into restricted areas to find you. Everyone is about to see a very scary side to a man who can dent steel.

-Once he confirms you’re still alive and on the mend, he is putting Gwynn with you, getting the Fists of Justice, and he is prowling the streets to find out who the hell is responsible for this. He’s grabbing random people and interrogating them to figure out what happened to you.

-Pray that he never finds out who it was and gets into the same zip code, because Arceus forbid he gets his hands on them, there will be little more than a pulp of pink meat left and he will get arrested for murder if he is alone. Make sure that someone, either Emma or maybe Corbeau and Phillipe, goes with him. Anyone to ensure he doesn’t do something he can’t take back.

Cyrus:

-This man tries..SO hard not to care about it.

-He does come to visit, late at night, by himself. He sits with you for a little while, talks to you. Holds your hand like you mean something to him and watches you with a nearly emotional glint in his eyes. He leaves when you become tired.

-He curses, quietly, and storms out of the facility with a look close to anger, but not quite. He’s resolute. Determined. He gets back to Galactic HQ and starts doubling down on his efforts to rid the world of emotions like this forever. He also, unconsciously, looks into whether or not the urge to maim and pain could be removed from the psyche as well. Starts researching methods to change the nervous system so it no longer registers pain, even if that means putting the person in a bubble and scanning their body every month for breaks.

-He doesn’t come back.

Worried husband, danger cat, angry bull, festering headache. Only thing in common is none of them respond well to stress.

Kissing AZ must be..just the most constantly tedious, annoying labor of love ever. Mostly for him but there’s a lot of maneuvering and most of the time you guys are gonna end up in weird positions, most of which end up with him halfway on the damn floor.

Like he’s mostly limb, that’s MOST of his length, so to get him to you like..dude has to crouch (and I mean the deep squat that will hurt his back and make you have to awkwardly ignore his crotch), or you have to get up onto several items like some kind of cartoon..or he just straight up has to pick you up, and that feels kinda weird plus it will throw his back out.

Like because of his size there is some weird framework around kissing and being affectionate. I always consider whether or not that’s part of why he isn’t very physically affectionate, but I don’t know..

AZ + Reader - Reader gets injured

PLZA MC sure has a lot of expectations placed on them! I'm sure that won't give them a complex! (Also, real talk, I want AZ to be my grandpa. Look how cool that guy is. I don't care he committed war crimes.) Word Count: 1655

AZ is going to be touched by this, but also is going to be desperately trying not to laugh at you.

Unless you’re particularly gifted with makeup, you look ridiculous and he’s going to notice that. He doesn’t want to discourage your adorable attempt to connect, but f*ck it’s so funny. Oh he wants to be an ass about it so bad.

Floette does not however have that amount of self control, she is laughing to the point of tears behind him and making it that much harder for him to hold it together.

If you’re his friend, he’s going to lie and say it looks good while trying not to laugh.

If you’re his partner, you’re getting a giggly kiss on the forehead and told point blank that you look silly. He will follow that up with how much he loves you though, just in case.

Sorry if this is a lot of detail; this old fart brings something out in me~

Actually, yknow what..you’re onto something.

—————-

-AZ actually enjoys ghost types, particularly those linked to ancient civilizations or past cultures. Pokemon like Cofagrigus/Runerigus and Yamask, Golett and Golurk, and Spiritomb all fascinate him.

-Phantump just make him feel sad, and it would actually be him that babies the damn thing. Treating it like his own child and trying to make sure it never goes without due to the type of situation that usually creates that pokemon.

-He would likely treat your specialty with respect and dignity, believing it a noble thing to willingly interact with Pokemon often considered taboo or dangerous. He is more than aware that many of them are simply lonely and hurting, and you offer them respite and a friend during their new life. He sees an altruistic kindness in that.

-Floette also enjoys your team since she can talk to them. They will all often sit around blabbering about something you don’t quite understand. Wonder what they’re talking about…

———-

Very short but I like the idea that AZ has a healthy and heavy respect for ghost types. I myself love ghost types, personally.
