Fablehaven Pokemon AU; Pt 2 (Seth)

Seth as a pokemon ranger!

Seth would be bored out of his MIND tending to the daycare all day; running showers for and grooming cutesy pokemon is fun for about the first four times you do it only.

it doesn't help that there are more interesting (read: unsafe) pokemon available right at the fablehaven daycare! it's just that grandpa sorenson will not budge in letting his grandkids interact with those. something about lacking "experience" and "expertise".

Seth: alright then. bet ←(gets himself into a ranger school Like A Boss)

there's really nothing anyone can do about the school sign up— I'm thinking kids in the pokemon universe are considered their own legal representation around the time they graduate trainer school (13-14 yrs old)

and after the initial scare, everyone concedes it's kind of a good idea, really. Seth gets to explore and interact with wild pokemon while still in a somewhat controlled environment, minimizing the amount of trouble to be stirred.

Kendra is happy to be the one to inform Seth that Ranger School does, too, involve actual textbook studying. he forgor💀

Seth would do the bare minimum for the theory aspects — what he really excels at is practical demonstrations!!!

don't let anyone tell you otherwise; pokemon absolutely interact with people based on Vibes. if you show that misdreavus even the smallest of hesitation you're getting Astonished into your next life dawg.

obviously this is not a problem for Seth. in fact i think he'd be at his very best when approaching wild Dark & Ghost types; those are the most likely to feed from fear and distress!

if you have no fear to feed the little creepers with then theyll be like Well. Hmm. What Now. (top tier strategy)

while on that the rangers here are a bit of mix from the spin offs and from the trainer class from the og games. they have one partner pokemon that will accompany them in their main rescue missions, but their job also involves protecting certain areas from poachers &/or criminals— that means there's also a lot of pokemon battling!

I'll be honest i think Seth's main criteria for his pokemon team is Does It Look Cool? Catch

when his eevee evolved into a sylveon he had to pause to cry throw up bang fists on the wall roll around for a bit. imagine having your team astethics ruined by the sparkly fairy type. Kendra makes fun of it at least once

still comes back to the daycare even while on the training stage; when he graduates as an actual ranger the first place Seth will suggest to send rescued pokemon to is fablehaven

Partner Pokemon

Absol: look at me in the eyes a dark type pokemon which is frequently labeled as a chaos bringer & malicious when it in fact only has intentions to help warn people beforehand so they can escape disaster. who else could i even give this to. it literally gets wings in its mega form LOOOOK AT ME

okay so anyways Absol are pokemon which are frequently abused bc of superstition so it isn't a stretch to say one would have eventually found its way to fablehaven daycare as a rescue. this is still in the early days of Kendra and Seth being there to help out so obvs they wouldn't be allowed to handle this one bc of the dark typing and its general bad rep. do you think seth gaf though he does NOT his ass would absolutely sneak out at night to the enclosure they kept absol at and try to make friends with it. the secret lasts about a week (Kendra snitches) but grandparents end up letting him actually catch absol bc they bonded. aw

(rest of the) Team!

Meowth: first pokemon, a gift from his parents! Seth isn't much interested in it bc it's so very normal and boring and not very Cool until he finds out this cat can basically sniff out shiny things (coins & jewels included) and it quickly becomes a Get Rich scheme. which only works on paper for about 2 minutes until he realizes the meowth will absolutely NOT allow anyone (owner or otherwise) to get their hands on its loot. it kind of becomes a srungly family pet though like in a drowned ugly rat kind of way so its still loved regardless. isn't much used in battles so it hasn't quite had the chance to evolve.

Spiritomb: sorry but how can you tempt a child mentioning there's a antique keystone that contains a cool ghost pokemon inside of it and expect him to not do anything about it like thats on YOU. anyhow Seth frees the spiritomb out of the odd keystone and finds out its just a little guy that got locked away for playing too many pranks. come on there's not even a good reasoning to take it away from him

Braviary: caught as a rufflet! pokedex entry from black & white 2→ "It stands up to massive opponents, not out of courage, but out of recklessness. But that is how it gets stronger." it probably tried to pick a fight with Hugo the Golurk and Seth thought it was the funniest thing ever and immediately caught it.

Golurk (Hugo): actually more attached to the fablehaven daycare than anything; it has its orders to protect the people and pokemon inside of the property. still Seth bonds with it more than anyone else and maybe actually brings the guy outside so it can see the world. cuties

Sylveon: okay now bear with me. LISTEN! Seth wouldn't have used any evolution stones on his (graduation gift) eevee bc he was hoping for a high friendship evolution, either espeon or umbreon. well. can you even imagine the look on his face when the evolution process finished and the first thing he saw was a pink ribbon. oh hed lose it. anyways sylveon are actually very combative pokemon — it lures foes in with the cute face and then pounces. they go out of their way to actively fight dragon pokemon likeee can you see the vision. Seth feels immediately better abt the whole thing when sylveon whoops a whole ass hydreigon with one singular Moonblast.

oh i had a Time making this. i love you pokemon au i really do. ill probably do either ronodin or bracken next

looove love love when people put kendra in the prettiest most fashionable clothes but Me personally. i think she dresses like peak 2010 fashion. look at me in the eyes and LIE that she wouldnt wear a scoop neck short-sleeved top over a stripped long-sleeve tshirt + skinny lowrise jeans. you cannot

#how have I not seen this before?? #fablehaven #dragonwatch #kendra sorenson #this is lovely!

Fablehaven Pokemon AU; pt. 1 (Kendra)

what i have worked out so far:

Kendra as an aspiring pokemon researcher; she and Seth are sent to Fablehaven (daycare/sanctuary) to help out their grandparents

the main point to that is to get them some field experience with a variety of pokemon. you can't get the full experience of pkm handling as a city kid!!!

child labor laws in the pokemon universe are extremely dubious, but still, Kendra and Seth don't really work Work like Dale. they get the menial jobs, i.e, grooming, feeding, and occasionally training pkm

this works out great for Kendra!!! she gets to see (and register in her pokedex) all types of pkm while also learning all about their behavioral patterns

I can't really see Kendra as a big fan of battling; she has the occasional friendly battle when prompted, sure, but her team selection is in no way geared towards competitive strategies

they are just Her Little Guys 🙁

absolutely a fan of contests. those are basically the equivalent of idols for the teenage girls in the pkm universe

obligatorily i have to make most of her team fairy types but i think she'd enjoy the occasional water and grass type

NOT immune to magical horse propaganda! her biggest little-girl wish was a galarian ponyta

the Sorenson are all the way over in Unova unfortunately . sorry kendra no unicorns for you

(she doesn't Know)

Kendra drifts more toward defensive pokemon — the ones that can take a hit and hit back harder

speed isn't much of a priority (leafeon & rapidash as the only outliers)

she spends her time differently depending on the pokemon. swimming with azumarill, going on runs with leafeon, making the psychic horse read Jane Austen, etcetera

team! from oldest to newest

Azumarill: azurill is a fairly easy pokemon to raise — that's why it was the first one Kendra ever trained, a gift from her parents. high friendship comes easy after a few months, and a marill quickly evolves into Azumarill. they so sunbathe together by the edge of the pool

Leafeon: originally an eevee, given as a graduation present for trainer's school. it only evolved after Kendra was already in Fablehaven — there was most definitely a mossy rock in the middle of those woods. they make a good match! leafeon as a species don't enjoy battling all that much

Altaria (Raxtus): same old story of dragon egg raised by fairies except this time they were actually fairy-type pokemon. methinks Raxtus was a wild pokemon who took a liking to Fablehaven as a sanctuary, and upon interacting with Kendra, took a liking to her as well. technically, Kendra hasn't caught him, since a pokeball would restrict his ability to wander around, but Raxtus always comes back to hang out or to help with anything important, so! they're besties. also he mega-evolves bc that's about as close as a can get to canon Kendra's battery abilities.

Galarian Ponyta: remember when i said she wouldn't get to have the unicorn bc she hadn't ever been to galar. well. SOMEONE who does a fair amount of traveling may have ACCIDENTALLY stumbled upon a wild ponyta and decided to catch it and bring it back all the way to unova upon hearing Kendra did very much wish to have one. who would do that though haha. smitten loser behavior (→→→→→ bracken ←←←←←)

Decidueye: originally a dartrix Seth caught in a ranger mission (will elaborate on this. eventually)! they got along fine but this whole evolution line is unbelievably prissy. they need one grooming down daily at LEAST. it was simply not feasible for Seth to take care of it especially since rangers spend most of their time with their partner pokemon only. so Kendra kinda takes care of it unofficially. when it evolves they start practicing archery together. yay

this au has been gnawing on my brain for a while now and im happy to share my genius. seth should be next! any fb characters who arent kendra kind of elude my full understanding so suggestions for teams are NICE and OKAY.

Today is the three year anniversary of the first chapter of Heir to Light! (My Fablehaven medieval fantasy fic with royalty, magic, and a strong Garreth/Kendra subplot)

So, three things!

The artwork above is something I made several years ago, but never posted because the scene was actually scrapped. However, Garreth does technically carry Kendra like this in Chapter XIII (unintentional). But since the fic is coming to an end, I figured now was a good time to post it...and I lost the license to the art software over a year ago so I wasn't going to be able to work on it anymore anyway.

I have written the last 8 chapters! It will add about 30,000 words. I just need to edit and publish. I will definitely have everything published by the end of July, but I’m thinking earlier.

Here is the chapter that I posted today!

#fablehaven #dragonwatch #ahhh!!! #this is so exciting but also kind sad :( #at least there's always rereads #lovely

Brandon really said Imma find a way to make unicorns edgy and I respect that

#omg!!! this is so wonderful! #his expression is so interesting to me #lovely fanart #fablehaven #dragonwatch #ronodin the dark unicorn

[lunar-lurker]

I’m ngl I’ve completely forgotten what the fairy queen is supposed to look like but for some reason I always imagine her as really colorful and extra 😭

#fablehaven #the fairy queen #magical. gorgeous. stunning #lovely fanart

Am I the only one who wishes that we got more amnesiac Seth content? Don’t get me wrong, I’ve really been loving the last few books, but looking back at the theories and posts from when Wrath of the Dragon King was first released, I can’t help but feel like there were a bunch of interesting concepts and dynamics that I wish had been explored. 

#the first post I ever made I think #I still think amnesia!seth is a fun concept to explore #mb if I get around to writing fic

Hi fam new to this app but I draw fablehaven sometimes ⁉️⁉️

#GORGEOUS #fablehaven #dragonwatch #kendra sorenson #seth sorenson

[lunar-lurker]

Fablehaven headcanons that have no basis in canon but they're correct (trust)

Newel and Doren read manga in their free time (specifically Shoujo)

Seth enjoys drawing and painting, and his work is surprisingly good

Ronodin can play the violin very well

Kendra has a slight fear of dogs (<— me self projecting)

Kendra and Alyssa were actually friends when they were in kindergarten, but then drifted apart due to going to different elementary schools. They then reconnected in late middle school when they joined the same soccer team

Dragons human avatars look different based on how powerful they are. If a dragon is weak and doesnt have much power, when they transform into their human avatar they can be easily clocked as a dragon. Scales, horns, claws, unnatural skin color, ect. tend to appear on weaker dragons avatars. Colorful hair and eyes are the most common signs of a dragon at medium power. If a dragon is particularly powerful, their human avatar can look nearly indistinguishable from any normal mortal (for example, Navarog)

It’s the same case with unicorns. If a unicorn isn't very powerful, they can have more horse like features in their human avatar. Cloven hooves instead of normal feet, horse ears, and the horn still attached to the forehead. This usually only tends to happen to younger unicorns, who don't have as much control over their magic and havent gained their third horn

Before Stan became caretaker, and was in his 20s or so, he was good friends with Newel and Doren. He consistently hung out and partied with them, until he became caretaker and married Ruth. They're still friends to this day, but not as close as they used to be

During the first few years of Patton and Lena's marriage, Lena would visit the pond and chat with her sisters, though they usually either ignored her or beckoned her to come closer to the water. Her visits slowly waned over time, the nail in the coffin being when one of the naiads managed to grab her leg, and was only saved due to Patton being with her. She never visited again after that

Dale has a noticeable southern accent. Warren also has the slightest hint of one, but it becomes much more noticeable when he's emotional

Ghost's Soft April, Day 5 Prompt- Magic @ghostsfanficevents

[ID: Two drawings of Kendra Sorenson with Fablehaven. She is sitting down and has her right hand hidden by tucking it between her leg. She is wearing a pair of jeans, gray socks, and a purple tank top. Her left hand is held up, with magic coming from it. She is looking at it with a smile. The only difference between the two drawings is Kendra's hair length, the left drawing has her with long hair and the right has short hair. The background is beige with some lighting on the left side of Kendra from the magic. /end ID]
