Emmet heading off for the holidays - first time alone. [Festival of Family 1/8]
Some WIPs under the cut!
I'm so tired of looking at this - the composition and colors were a massive struggle and I still don't know if I made good choices or not..
Welp, I've been holding onto this well over a year now so it's time to move on! And it's not the only piece I've been holding onto; next one will be the biggest of the set of 8 pieces!

One last comic I wanted to get out before starting on the anticipated Lone Emmet and Cub chapter now that all the roughs are done.
For some reason I wanted to add a small bit of angst and of course Volo is involved XD I think he wanted to cause some drama, but didn't anticipate Emmet to immediately go to Ingo and ask directly (huzzah for clear communication)! I especially had a lot of fun doing the jojo inspired pose and texts.
I love the idea of Drayden being Ingo and Emmet’s uncle that’s been floating around! Also, for this AU I always imagined it so Ingo was in Hisui around 4 years and Emmet around 2 years. So despite the concept dropping and it might be longer, I’m sticking to my original idea for this story XD
Ok, but what if Gear Station tried to do those kid safety videos and someone decided they should make them with puppets? Emmet and Ingo would wholeheartedly enjoy it, and thus lead to the series cancelation.
The producers never got the puppets back. On occasion the Submas bring them out for jokes and pranks knowing very well how creepy they are and their own meme.
i got possessed last night and an hour later had made a bunch of pride edits of the Battle Subway/Gear Station logo
oh i also never posted the flat image of the symbol on Ingo & Emmet's hats that i made from looking at ripped textures from Masters + Ingo's PLA textures + all their official art to tweak it to look juuuust right. the middle part reads silver from all the color picking i did on those sources, thus the second version of all the edits with the original silver.
free to use, dont use them to make money but you can use them otherwise for whatever personal use. if you wish for any specific flag, you're welcome to request it and i can make it. :)
If Gamefreak makes the inevitable Black and White remake another sequel (like honestly all the others should have been) than I think the best way to address the Ingo situation would be for the Player to have almost no involvement at all.
Have it be a background thing when the Player first makes it to Nimbasa City the Battle Subway is temporarily closed due to… circumstances with the Bosses’ pokemon.
Elesa’s not at her Gym because she’s helping Emmet grab all of Ingo’s pokemon, as they are scattered around the city looking for their Trainer. Have some of the residents trying to guid them back, making comments that this has been the regular occurrence for almost a year now.
Have it where the Player finds a Chandelure approach them, when they enter the city, and end up following them around as they make it to the battle Subway. Then you have to help gather the rest before Elesa can return to her gym and Emmet, Gear Station. This is how you get a Unlimited Subway Pass (as a token of thanks from Emmet) that grants you full access to Gear Station (to the places you already have been like the ride pokemon/flying taxi)
The Battle Subway is then reopened, but you can only do the Singles Monday/Wednesday/Friday and the Doubles Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday or whatever since there is only 1 Subway boss to run the both lines at the moment.
Postgame, the Singles and Doubles lines are available no matter the day of the week, as Ingo has inexplicably returned, with a whole new set of pokemon to boot.
Lady Sneasler can be found as a Challenger on the singles line or meandering Gear Station, depending on the time of day. If you beat her and Ingo X amount of it would trigger a cut scene where she, with some translation on Ingo’s part, gifts the player an Egg, with Ingo making a comment that the Player reminds him of a bit of a trainer he new from where he was before.
Some of them have known each other for longer than they remember! Isadore and Furze knew each other briefly as kids, but Isadore has completely forgotten. Jackie has worked a long time in Gear Station, though no one seems to remember that either.
Cloud and Ramses are old enough to have known the twins when they were really young, so I imagine when they became the bosses it was sometimes hard to take them seriously. Though in general, Cloud views most of her coworkers as if they are juniors, whether it’s affectionately or not.
Don’t take the Jackie no-face comic too seriously. I just drew it for sillies.
Good day everyone I learned yesterday that the Nimbasa Gear Station logo is probably to represent a train coupling and I am DYING imagining Ingo and Emmet sneaking that in. That's so gay gay incest gay of them. The brocons ever. God I love them.
