Nickname guide for Found Family (From Hisui to Nimbasa) as well as other future fics

Silver Bloodstains chapter 8 (The Snow Queen)

Summary: Emmet finally meets Arezu. Nobori attempts to set healthy boundaries

Sorry for the relative radio silence! Nothing has changed, I’m still stuck in a state of perpetual exhaustion that is cutting my writing speed down to less then half of normal. Writing IS happening though, and something will be posted at some point.

Eventually.

In the meantime, I was hoping to post a couple of links to (other people’s) relevant fics, as well as some of those abandoned wips I promised you ages ago. But! That all comes down to my piss poor energy levels so… we’ll see.

Thank you for your patience!

(This is also why tourney stuff is a bit.. sluggish lately lol)

Day four: My first Feral in Hisui artwork! Back when it was just an idea lol.

This one was one I very obviously had to take a reference photo of myself for. It’s a complicated pose!

Mostly what I remember about drawing these last two is the house we were staying in when I drew them. The summer I started writing for this fandom was the summer we drove across the country to Chicago for my mother’s internship. This was drawn in the third house we stayed in… in which everyone but me caught Covid and I was ostracized from the rest of the house lol. I didn’t mind- gave me more time to work on stuff like this- but it was still a weird feeling. (The Fairy Kisses pic was drawn in the first house and the Nimbasa Trio pic was drawn in the second house. Not that that’s important or anything, I just thought it was interesting)

Warden Ingo: explaining to his adopted feral daughter that she can’t bite people

Akari: 👁👁

Everyone Goes Feral in Hisui coming soon to a fanfiction archive near you (probably lol)

Starting with some of my oldest art on here! This fic actually has the whole first chapter written out… which I’ll post rn actually! Why not!

2,000 words, barely edited, super old abandoned wip. Enjoy!

Fairy Kisses

Fay is doesn’t think she’s ever been to a beach before. It’s a sad thought that’s made sadder by the fact that this beach kinda sucks. It’s like, 20 feet long with the only thing of interest on it being a dock. Well that and the three Pokémon staring at her, but those probably aren’t permanent attractions.

Scratch that, three Pokémon and like, a dude. A dude in a lab coat and a very dumb looking hat- who appears to be asking her something in a language she doesn’t understand.

“I uh, can you repeat that? But like slowly?”

The man looks surprised, but that quickly morphs into the worlds biggest smile as he switches his language.

“Oh you speak Galarian! How exciting, I didn’t think I’d meet anyone else from my homeland this far from home!” He’s practically bouncing in excitement “Although I don’t know what I should have expected really. You did fall from the sky after all!”

“Oh, uh cool.” There’s a lot to unpack with that statement, the falling from the sky bit being the most… dramatic. But it’s the suggestion that she might be from his homeland that really gets her thinking. She realizes she’s not sure where her homeland is and, with growing horror, that she’s not sure of much anything else either. Panicking, she felt her hand instinctively reaching for the bracelet around her wrist, fiddling with it in a way that was soothing and familiar. It was good she hadn’t lost it in the fall, not that she remembered why she had it in the first place.

Oh great, I’m in the middle of nowhere with memory loss, just my luck.

It at this point Fay realizes she’s alone, the three Pokémon had run inland and the strange man had followed suit. He’d probably said something before going, but she’d kinda been tuning him out to have a crisis so like…

Whatever, she could still see him in the distance. He was… chasing those three Pokémon around? Doing a really bad job at it too. Maybe he could use some help.

Standing up, she dusted herself off and began to make her way over to him. At least the was the plan, but a suspiciously shiny thing caught her attention.

Jogging over, she realized that it was actually three suspiciously shiny things- one of which was extremely familiar.

Practically sliding the last few feet on her knees, she grabbed the worn shining pokeball with the desperation of a dying man. It popped open immediately, Fay’s partner sensing her distress.

She was an alicreme, and while Fay couldn’t quite remember how they met or how long they’d been together, she knew that this was her dearest friend, her only family.

“Hey cake.” Cake chimed in response, wrapping her soft tiny arms around Fay’s midsection. Fay returned the hug, burying her face into her partners sweet smelling head.

The two stayed like that for a few minutes, before Fay pried herself off of her alicreme to look at the other two items that Cake’s pokeball had been with.

One was a… phone(?) with a horrible gaudy gold and white case. Fay got the feeling it was hers, but she’d never seen anything like it before.

The other object was… a brick. A bright pink brick that was somehow super menacing while also drawing her in with every second she stared. She really ought to touch it. Just pick it up and-

The world swayed. Colors brightened, sounds roared, and the sky and earth swirled around her like she was in some kind of cosmic blender. Before she could open her mouth to scream though, everything stopped, leaving Fay gasping for breath and feeling very weird.

The phone on the ground beeped, the gold arches flashing pink as it displayed the message Pixie Plate obtained! 17 remaining!

Also, the brick was gone.

“What- what was that?” Fay’s head still buzzed a bit, the whole experience left her feeling very disoriented and kinda nauseous.

'I’m not sure. You just kind of froze up. Are you okay?'

It took a few seconds for Fay to realize that someone had responded to her, and a few more seconds to realize that the person that had responded was Cake. It was honestly impressive that she didn’t push the Pokémon away in panic, a lot of weird things had happened today but Pokémon talking was pretty up there.

“Not really. Also when did you learn to talk? Wait no actually, could you always do that and I just forgot that too??” Fay held Cake up under the arms so she could stare into her eyes.

'Uh I mean, I always could talk but I’m pretty sure this is the first time you’ve been able to… hear me. Maybe… it's a consequence of falling from the sky?'

Having human words come out of her pokemon’s mouth was pretty weird, but she was already getting used to it.

“Yeah that sounds… that makes sense I guess.”

A loud splashing sound could be heard further inland, and Fay remembered her earlier plan that she had abandoned in search of treasures.

“We should, uh… we should probably help him with that.”

And so they did.

oOo

A lot of stuff happened after that. The lab coat dude, (Professor Laventon apparently) had been so impressed by Fay’s ability to hold her alicreme that he begged her to help catch his runaways. (He was also extremely surprised to learn that Cake was the evolution of milcrey. Apparently he didn’t know they could evolve) Catching said runaways had taken no time at all, just a few chucks of the weirdest looking pokeballs Fay had ever seen, (not that she could remember many) and all three trouble makers were tucked away, easy as pie.

Somehow, this was impressive.

Apparently Fay had ended up in this weird backwards cult that was afraid of pokémon but still wanted to study them. No internet either so they needed to do it themselves. Weird stuff.

Or that’s kinda what she assumed. The truth of the matter was that Laventon was the only person who spoke Galarian and she had absolutely no idea what anyone else was saying. He could translate for her when he was around, but anytime she was by herself or he was preoccupied…

Anyways, long story short, they needed someone to catch pokémon for them, and Fay needed a place to stay. Win win.

Of course, Fay needed to prove herself first, or else she would… not be able to stay? Laventon hadn’t really translated that part to her, just assured her she would be fine. Reassuring.

But whatever. She might not know what a Shinx, Starly, and Bidoof were, but Cake and her take down giants on the regular so this shouldn’t be too bad.

(She’s not sure what she means by battling giants- but it feels right so who cares)

oOo

“Why don’t you take one of my Pokémon with you for the trial? They like you quite a bit and could be quite helpful out there!”

The three starters stare up at Fay, eyes big and pleading. She fiddles with her bracelet in response, awkwardly avoiding eye contact.

“I appreciate the thought but like, I already have a pokemon.”

The green one is wandering off now while the blue one messes with the shell on its belly. Only the little fire type is still staring at her, eyes filled with determination.

“Yes, yes, of course. I’m not saying that you shouldn’t use her, of course not! But some variety can help cover your weaknesses!” Laventon gently shoos the green one back in line. “Ms. Pie is a fairy type yes?”

“Cake, but yeah”

He beams before pointing down at the fiery Pokémon on the left. It titters excitedly. “That makes it weak to steel and poison. Steel types are weak to fire outright, and the most common poison type in the fieldlands is duel bug type! I think a fire Pokémon like cyndaquil would fit your team well!”

Cake knows mystical fire though

It’s silly, Fay knows having more then one pokemon is a good idea but something just feels wrong about it. Maybe it’s cause she’s only ever had Cake or that you can only bring one Pokémon into a raid den.

...a second Pokémon is probably a good idea though.

oOo

She names the cyndaquil Cinders and he is very warm. He titters up at her as they walk through town, nestled in her arms where Cake normally sits. She would have Cake out as well, but Laventon recommended against it as the villagers would find an unknown Pokémon worrying. Which is stupid, because Cake is adorable. Regardless, they’ve seen Cinders around enough that no one is going to faint from fear if when they see him.

As Fay approach’s the gate, she spots the professors assistant (Ray? Rei?) talking to a tall blonde man. They both turn when she approaches and the blonde… greets her probably? More nonsense words between him and Ray before the man points at himself and declares something to Fay. It takes him repeating it a few times before Fay realizes what’s going on, he’s introducing himself. ‘Volo’ is his name apparently and when she repeats it back to him… he holds up a pokeball.

oh he wants to battle

Well Fay can do that! Probably. Actually she’s not really sure what moves Cinders knows so she should probably use Cake instead. Cinders can watch.

Placing Cinders on the ground, she digs through the fanny pack the captain had given her, before pulling out Cake’s pokeball. She holds it out at him in challenge.

“You wanna fight? Let’s fight”

Volo laughs before throwing his Pokémon out, a cute little togepi.

Oh thank heavens, a normal pokemon

Volo got a funny look oh his face when she sent out Cake but Fay figured that was just cause she was unusual. Straightening up Fay pointed at the togepi who opened its tiny little mouth-

'LET’S GET READY TO RUUUUUUMBLEEEE!!'

Yeah okay, Fay wasn’t expecting that.

'HEY LADY, YOU READY TO GET SMASHED? YOU READY FOR ME TO GRIND YOUR FACE IN THE DUST AND EAT YOUR STUPID FACE FOR BREAKFAST???!!! TAKE THIS!!!'

The togepi toddled over to tackle Cake, before tripping over itself right in front of her. It would have been downright adorable if it wasn’t for the weirdly deep voice coming from him.

'OH SO YOU’RE PLAYING DIRTY? I SEE HOW IT IS! YOU’RE SCARED SO YOU RESORT TO LOW BROW TACTICS-' Cake shoved her hands over his mouth to shut him up before calling back to her trainer.

'Fay? Sweetheart? You okay? Did you forget my moves in the fall?'

Oh right the battle. They were in a battle.

“No I uh- I’ll tell you later. Why don’t you use dazzling gleam for now?”

Cake nodded before pushing the togepi back a bit. It continued to yell at her, before attempting to tackle again. Unfortunately, it never got the chance.

A bright flash of light exploded from Cake, nearly blinding everyone (Fay knew to cover her eyes) and sending the poor togepi crashing into the wall behind Volo.

Everyone went quiet, eyes bouncing between to knocked out togepi and the innocent looking Cake. Thankfully, Volo broke the silence. He clapped for her while laughing, saying a few more gibberish words before clapping her on the back and handing her some drinks he pulled from his bag. Weird dude.

'You okay luv? You kinda froze up there for a second at the beginning.'

Cake slid towards her, concern in her eyes.

“Yeah uh I-" Fay looked over at Volo and Rei nervously. They probably couldn’t understand her but that didn’t mean talking to her Pokémon was any less weird. She lowered her voice a bit. “I could understand the togepi.”

'Well that’s odd. Does it work for all Pokémon then?' Fay shrugged, reaching over to pick Cake up off the floor. Alicreme were not particularly fast walkers.

“I don’t think so? I haven’t heard any other Pokémon speak, and I think Cinders has been- Oh right, this is Cinders. He’ll be working with us for now I guess. Say hi”

'Hello there!'

Cake waved, Cinders waved back.

“He’s been chittering a bunch but I haven’t understood any of it. Is he- is he actually saying anything?”

Cake looked down at Cinders as he exploded into chatter, happy little purrs and chirps coming out of the cyndaquil in rapid fire.

'Yep. He’s been talking. He says that you smell good, he likes your fur, and he would like to be picked up again' Nodding, the cyndaquil raised his tiny arms and waved them at up at her. Fay chuckled, moving Cake up to her shoulder so she could pick Cinders up.

“Okay so not every Pokémon then. Just my partner and some random togepi.”

Volo had left by then, the professor taking his place as they prepared for the expedition to the fieldlands. Rei waved her over, gesturing that it was time to leave. So she did.

'What did that phone of yours say when you touched the pink thing again? You got the pixie plate or something?'

“Something like that” Fay muttered, watching her volume around the professor.

'Well pixie is another word for fairy'

Fay and Cinders looked at her, not quite catching her drift.

'The only two Pokémon you’ve been able to understand so far have been fairy types. I don’t think that’s a coincidence.'

Fay took in a sharp breath

“Holy swords you’re right.”

A few corps looked her way at the outburst. She hunched over a bit at the stares.

“So I guess I’m a fairy whisperer now?“

Cake chuckles.

'I suppose so'

A drawing I did for a fan fiction I didn’t end up writing. It was about a Glarian who fell into Hisui and got herself a team of fairy types. Also she got to dynamax her Pokémon during the red sky, as a treat.
