#coraus

anyways, Kaiosu is an AU I originally created back at the end of 2022 start of 2023, that I worked on from that time to the start of 2024 then picked back up end of 2025 (just to illustrate the gap between years, because most of the original plots were YIKES and that’s why). its what I’ve started to call the “story about finding your place and absolutely murdering the haters” because that’s essentially the plot. It starts by introducing an OC named Punk (they/them, originally Mindset) who originates from an alternative universe (au inside of an au) of Coroika where instead of chaos winning, order won, but not exactly in a fair way. Upon confronting Hivemind, who has taken on the rule of leader after the victory, they are transported to the original Coroika universe in the period between when goggles + team left for the splatlands and arrived, which leads to Goggle’s never meeting Braids (at least until a later plot, like WAY later) and the story diverging from canon. The first main plotline revolves around finding a way to return Punk to their universe while they also prepare to fight Hivemind upon doing so if needed, but in this time they befriend many of the main cast (particularly Aloha, who they end up considering a brother in a considerably short amount of time lmao) and their desire to return home starts to disappear. In the end, upon returning, they realise they have a better life for themself in the Coroika universe and end up staying there, and that’s basically how the first main plotline goes. There’s a lot of smaller ones that are particularly about character development and relations and it’s also a way for me to explore how trauma affects individuals (including myself, a lot of this is self reflection honestly) and how to accept it. Kaiosu rant over :3

Anywho. The other ask about a Pokémon AU reminded me that I've never shared my own. Mine is kind of different from the "traditional" Pokémon AU in the sense that most characters are Pokémon themselves and not trainers. I had this idea bc like a year ago in Pokémon Scarlet I had formed a whole team of Pokémon named after the S5 (+ Emperor) and then Lightbulb

Here is my current lineup right now. I'm missing a lot but I do have quite a few more pokémon named after coroika characters (that i cannot access rn. #hopital. im ok)

also let it be noted that:

A) If a character's ink color in the manga doesn't line up with their Pokémon, the general color scheme of the Pokémon is changed to fit them.

B) emperor is also shiny

C) army is the orange tatsugiri that i forgot the name of

D) s5 leaders are all alphas. and emperor

As for the Splatsville characters, I've only got, like. 3 solid ones rn. Those being Shady as a Noivern (he and Skull Goodra are like. Found brothers. or like related in some way idk theure different pokémon species but they share the dragon type), 8-Bit as a Garchomp, and Wireglasses as a Lycanroc (the midnight version. The red one.)

All that aside, Goggles really is kind of just Ash Ketchum the 2nd. Except 2 years older and a stupid fat little baby. Like the fat chinese baby image. Yk. The Pokémon on Team Blue (the teams aren't called teams or anythint here) were gifted to him by his parents and they're his bestest friends ever and they love him dearly. Goggles is a very frequent traveler and loves exploring the different regions of the world, frequently flying between them. Should he be doing this at 12? ash did it at 10 and he was fine so yeah sure

Goggles has kind of like this innate understanding of Pokémon. He can't legitimately COMMUNICATE with them, but he usually can understand and resonate with their feelings, and help them when something's wrong. He gets his reputation from his ability to just... calm down and assist nearly any troubled Pokémon. Which is crazy for a 12 year old.

I have his encounters with the s5 + their teams as goggles being "famous" almost for his ability to like . "Communicate" with pokémon. The s5 were kind of just like... all terrorizing different towns (i think in different regions too) and whenever goggles went and visited that region theyd be like "OMFG HELP US WE ARE BEING TORTURED" and he'd be like "Ok!" and then he'd go help them and figure out what's wrong (in most cases it's just them being alphas and alphas like constantly tweaking but they can be calmed down by Little Ugly Baby. rider -> alpha aggression, army -> alpha aggression + things in the town being disorganized, aloha -> alpha aggression idk what else, mask -> alpha aggression and snotty as fuck) and, if they let him (which all of them have), catches them + their team and lets them join him in adventuring. Up until skull. Who sweeps Goggles' whole team. HES AN ALPHA PSEUDOLEGENDARY COME ON. But goggles tries again (horseder keeps dragging him out by the scruff to get him to level everyone up first. The equivalent of him training team blue) and manages to defeat & soothe skull. he was just hungry and nobody would feed him (& the whole alphas being aggressive thing). he lets goggles catch him too (& his teammates come as well)

Mask was also really annoying about letting himself be caught. He'd like side eye goggles and then make a point of sneezing and coughing and dying until goggles just threw a pokéball at him (which he acted pissy about but didn't try to escape)

Emperor is also the world's most spoiled wild shalpha luxray ever

anywho thats what i have. here are ancient doodles

These are like half a year old. Amd no aloha with a lurantis because i forgot what lurantis looked like

Okay anywaysss I have this au where Specs basically becomes Hypno Callie but a lil more pathetic LET ME EXPLAIN HOLD ON

(I haven't completely finished the au yet but I'll try to sum up the basics of it.. also I don't remember the canon timeline all too well so sorry for any confusion) Specs always had insecurities about people not taking him seriously and being seen as something worth in this world, but said insecurities had gotten worse overtime. Eventually, he ends up accidentally falling into the sewer crate and somehow ends up meeting DJ Octavio. After a long convincing, Specs agrees to have Octavio "help" him so that people could finally take him seriously.

Goggles also ends up doing the story mode campaign w/ Gloves, BUT he's also doing this because no one can find Specs anywhere and they're worried as fuck. Time skip they end up finding DJ Octavio w/ Callie and Specs together in their new attire and attitudes. Callie is doing her typical thing with her bombs and dancing BUT Specs is actually down there with Gloves and Goggles—using an Octarian modified Octobrush and is lowk destroying the two agents. If it wasn't for Marie shooting them both with low tide ink (or maybe Skull shoots Specs w/ it, idk), the agents would've never saved the day

Anyways yada yada yay they defeat Octavio yet again, rescue Callie and Specs and now the gang is back to normal!!! (Mostly!) Now Specs has these little spirals in his pupils and now feels a little bit more confident to wear more feminine clothes. (My hc for him is that he's Bigender so there's that too)

Also, canon timeline Team Blue get dropped into the timeline at the start of the Ranked Cup arc and need to get back to their own timeline using the cup’s prize in a Back to the Future-style plan.

Basically, Bobble Hat is a cosmic entity that got bored and dropped a mortal avatar on Earth. She met Goggles, thought he was funny, and gave him a tiny bit of her powers.

As a result, Goggles has a subtle aura that bends the fabric of reality and causes cartoonishly unnatural things to happen from pulling pickled plums out of nowhere to creating non-Euclidean geometry. The scale of these things ranges depending on his emotions, thoughts, and general hilarity, but he can’t consciously control it.
