#dawnime

It is a thing I've thought about!

During the time period of the arc I am calling Shining Justice, and that has been the focus of the tournament so far, May and Drew have a daughter named Lina.

Lina is probably more like May personality wise (like, probably closer to canon May than Dawnime!May is!), though she looks more like Drew. Lina probably doesn't have May's appetite.

Lina also will get a pair of twins who are her half-sisters, Jazmin (not finalized name) and Meira. They are May's children with Ash. Personality-wise, Jazmin is very similar to Hikari and this is something that'll be important. Meira is probably most like a mature Max personality wise if that makes sense.

I think an Amourshipping child (or few?) would be cute to have as well. I don't have any concepts as of yet but it is something I'm open to.

Unless we count Freeda (thank you canon dynamics), Hikari's eventual Empoleon, or Jazmin (who Hikari takes a liking to) Hikari will not have children on purpose. I have discussed the possibility of an Oystershipping fanchild with a friend of mine. I had shelved it for a bit, but honestly, I've considered it again. I'm not 100% on giving Hikari any children, as, again, I don't think she'd really want that per se.

I also want to have some Brock and/or Misty fanchildren, but beyond "I think Brock gets with Soledad because it'd be fun" and the aforementioned potential Oystershipping fanchild, I've got no real ideas.

I also have three children for non-twerps if you want me to go over that. They're probably some of the more developed ones lol

I realized that the main character was so obviously Dawn (Shirogane Hikari) that as the AU expanded, I clearly needed a different name.

Shining Justice will likely refer to a particular part of the Dawnime.

I was talking about the need for a name that better matched what I realized I was going for with @mezamun and I said this:

don't have a name quite yet, but I want it to reference that it's kind of evolved into an au where it's the ashime except dawn is the protagonist making it more the dawnime 😂

I intended the name to be a joke (as she often uses the word "ashime" to describe that era of the Pokemon Anime), but she liked the name so it gets to stay.
