i think I have an idea of what I want to do with the is whole au plot and its definitely starting at the point with the battle against groudon and kyogre except it goes alot worse for ruby and sapphire obviously. but wally (and norman but not really) find emerald who ends up being the main one who finds a way to release ruby and sapphire from the legendary orb grasp

(and helps in their recovery as well because i said so)

oh and norman is like 10 times more unlikable (he's not very likeable to begin with tbh)

instead of just the trails at the pillar, they are stopped by the quote on quote "ghost of the sky pillar" aka emerald scaring people (mostly norman) away because its not a place for humans and they equally do not like humans

emerald kind of takes a different route in this au because I mean influences (zinnia cough cough) so instead of claiming not liking pokemon they are more of a recluse thats abandoned society and lives solely with pokemon (like latias and latios) and has to be convinced by wally to help

▸ Corruption Special ◂

Red in this au, was influenced to join team rocket at a young age in an attempt to become a strong trainer. He meets Green(m) after visiting his home town; which infuriates Red. And after connecting the dots and finding out Green is the grandson of Prof Oak who has a research center in town; he breaks into the lab and steals the pokedex and Bulbasaur so him and Green will be (what he sees) on equal footing next battle.

Over the course of this AU, Red starts to see team rocket through a different perspective and slowly starts to turn his back on the organization. As well as helping in it's downfall.

Once Yellow is brought onto the research team by Prof Oak, they are ambushed by a rocket grunt known as Blue(f); who steals the pokedex from Yellow. Yellow travels and trains under Green (and to a lesser extent Red) while they search for the grunt.

▸ Masked Special ◂

After the dexholder Yellow comes into contact with the pokemon Celebi briefly, their understanding and proof of the event is sent back to the johto branch Prof Elm. Unfortunately somehow this information reaches Pryce, who sends his student Silver out to steal the information package and bring it back. Silver fails to do so because of a local troublemaker - Gold. After Silver reports back, Pryce decides to take matters into his own hands. He tracks down Gold; and blackmails him via taking part of his family hostage, as well as threatening Gold's mom. Instead Gold will work under him, and help Pryce in his plan to catch Celebi.

Meanwhile Crystal, who was offered an internship at the johto labs; has had that opportunity temporarily revoked while the search for Gold is still active. She decides to take the dex anyway, and resolve the problem. She eventually comes face to face with the Masked Trainers; whom she looses to. But she unexpectedly finds Gold and Silver; who give her all the information she needs. Including the part where the two plan on stopping Pryce before he can reach his goal. She agrees to help, and proves herself worthy of being one of Pryce's pupils to help Gold and Silver carry out their betrayal.

▸ Lost Special ◂

Ruby moves to Hoenn, and not soon after meeting his rival Sapphire. The two place their bet, and set out soon after into the Hoenn region. This AU starts after the final chapter of the main plotline. The difference being; Sapphire and Ruby unfortunately fall under the control of the Blue & Red orbs they take away from Maxie and Archie during the battle against Groudon and Kyogre. The gym leaders of Hoenn have managed to seal the legendaries within Soot. City and evacuate the citizens from their homes. However they are all to aware of that Ruby and Sapphire are not only missing, but also possibly under the control of Groudon and Kyogre who definitely are planning on escaping somehow. Luckily Ruby's friend; Wally offers a hand in finding the two before they can do any harm. And alongside him, Emerald; a mysterious kid whom he met in Sky Pillar. Emerald seems to have a knack for communicating with Pokemon, which comes in use as the two set out to search for the missing Ruby and Sapphire.

▸ Legends Special ◂

atleast thus far ..

Dia, Pearl, Platinum; along with Cynthia and Cyrus are trapped within a space time distortion that sends the group back in time to ancient Hisuia. Dia is dropped near the diamond clan, and sustains head injury. Causing him to loose a good bit of his memory. Pearl is dropped in the snowy mountains, and found passed out in a blizzard by the pearl clan. Platinum is found by a beach near the Team Galaxy Headquarters, and taken in by the research team to help uncover the appearance of the space time distortion. Cynthia and Cyrus are no where to be seen (yet)

So yeah this is the basic idea for each AU thus far, hopefully I'll get to keep adding onto this. Thank you for reading 👋 take care have fun

(spoilers for hoenn volumes if you haven't read those yet)

did a better ref of ruby and sapphires lost special au designs. so like instead of archie and maxie getting possessed it's flipped and these two get the legendary supernatural orb possession. personally i love that bit of lore they included in the manga and i wanted to go with something that included that so somehow Groudon and Kyogre are still awake but immobilized by the gym league + steven and Wallace, but are still able to take control of ruby and sapphire through the orbs and basically set out to find a way to you know not be immobilized anymore so they can brawl it out or whatever

which is where i figure emeralds arc comes in with jirachi

i did post it once before but its going here to I don't care 🗣️🗣️

but basically the two legendaries set out in ruby and sapphires body to find jirachi. meanwhile emerald, who was raised by Zinnia in this au

(this was @digitalsnail 's idea!! they have really wonderful art of their own au i suggest looking love their art 🙏)

but also comes in search of jirachi for their own reasons and ends up meeting not only crystal, gold and oak who are there to investigate but also surprise 🎉🎉 ruby and sapphire who are also trying to capture jirachi

then its just a brawl out to see who can get the wish but i gotta stay true to rald's character, eventually they are the one who ends up protecting jirachi from the two
