It's the start of @ygorarepairweek and the prompt I've gone with for Day 1 is 'Sweet'!
While I was originally going to have this based around cake, while I was searching for outfit inspiration I just happened to come across Sweet Lolita fashion and I thought it'd be super cute if they were trying on different outfits instead. Oh and to keep the 'Dessert' part of the theme, Sorahas little candies stitched into the side of his pants :3
Of course, with Jubilantshipping being my ultimate OTP, I just had to include Musicboxshipping. Honestly, with how much screentime these two share together, I'm a little suprised that they're as rare of a pair as they are.

Giving Yugioh Characters Pokemon that i KNOW they’d have Pt. 1
AKA LAVS YUGIOMON AU
Ty @baddyzarc for most of the yugioh sprites I used to make this post literally using your account when ever I need sprites for these guys 🙏
If grammars ass I know, pls don’t @ me
Tumblr media
Spectre-
If you’re friends with me then you should already know he is gonna be on the list first, and if you watched Vrains and if you know Spectres character then you can already guess the type of Pokemon his team would mostly consist of.
The Trevenant is his first member of his team and his oldest member that’s been with him since he was an infant. When little spectre was left alone to his mother tree he just so happened to be left within the forest Trevenant resides in and looks over. Shocked to see the infant left by itself by the roots of one of his oldest trees, Trevenant had practically assimilated himself into a grandfather like role for Spectre. (Specter’s mother tree is a single mother she deserves someone to help her 😤lol)
Torterra is the second member, he had known Spectre when he was little and he was a small Turtwig. Would play with him whenever he would come and visit from the orphanage. During the lost incident he had evolved into a Grotle and attempted to keep Trevenant calm while Spectre was missing despite missing him too
When ryoken finds him I can imagine Trevenant and Grotle following the two to where they live and Faust/Aso will give him pokeballs so they can be with Spectre properly! (but also because Kyoko is just done being jumpscared by Trevenant 24/7… He just wants to help her look after his boy :>)
Next up is Appletun, I Could imagine a younger Spectre and Ryoken playing with Grotle eventually evolved Torterra on his back. In Torterras Official Pokédex entry “Small Pokémon occasionally gather on its unmoving back to begin building their nests.” So a scenario i can imagine is the two of them finding small Pokemon on Torterras back and even Two small Applins that the two of them caught and looked after together.
The Appletun is a very gentle sweetheart and is quite the sloth that prefers to nap in nice sunny spots. I’m just imagining Spectre just crouching down with Appletuns food in hand and just patiently waiting for the little guy to come to him imagine appletuns little slow but soft pitter patter footsteps 🥺 (I mean look at Appletuns speed stat, lil guy slow 😭)
At first I Felt Gardevoir would be more fitting for Spectre since the two of them are similar in terms of Devotion and Loyalty and Have Gallade go to Ryoken but I decided to switch it around (I’ll go into more detail on Ryokens part)
I like to think Spectre keeps an extremely close eye on his Pokemons health (Especially Trevanants…) And I like the idea of Spectre trying to Dote on his Gallades health and exercise and for his Gallade to get a little shy and embarrassed because of it, Hehe. Also Gallade would love Spectres Sunvine Thrasher, it’s just a fact. Gets upset if he sees it destroyed in a duel. It’s adorable ^^~ he summons it to the duel and all of a sudden Gallades not in his pokeball
The Seedot and The Shiny Phantump would be his most recent Pokemon
I could imagine as he got older and would visit the tree stump of his mother tree he one day found the little seedot there. Either the small seedot would shyly follow Spectre while also staying hidden, or Spectre would befriend the little guy, either option is adorable and correct
I could also Imagine something similar for the Shiny Phantump (The reason I specifically see Spectre having a Shiny Phantump, I mean cmon it should be obvious I don’t think I need to explain it, it’s literally perfect)
Trevenant is very Emotional attached to the tiny Phantump, Grandpa tree gets flashbacks to baby Spectre and is having 🌟Sentimental Feelings🌟
The little Phantump is very shy and gets scared easily and is almost always floating next to his shoulders, likes to just hide/snuggle there while he duels. If Spectres not dueling Phantump would just like to rest in one spot and just hold the cards and either stare at the art or just hold them. It’s like watching a kid hold their favorite stuffy, said stuffy being a card but—
A little seedot on one side of Spectres shoulder and a little Phantump hiding behind the other omg Brb gonna cry-
Tumblr media
Ryoken-
What do ya’know! It’s mostly Dragons, who would’ve guessed?! Ok but on a serious note Despite his team looking like something a seven year old would make, just let mama cook mk?
Ok I had to have Ryoken come after Spectre so I can talk about the Gallade and Gardevoir thing, His Gardevoir is his first ever Pokemon. He had her when she was just a small Ralts long before the lost incident as a gift from his Dad. He would carry the small Ralts everywhere, where ever you found a small Ryoken you were gonna find a small Ralts there too. She’d evolve into a Kirlia when he’s 8.
Remeber during the lost incident Ryoken literally HEARD the kids his father took and experimented with? The scene we get of 8 year old Ryoken curled up and covering his ears? Go to Ralts , Kirilia, and Gardevoirs Official Pokédex Entry these Pokemon are known as the Feeling Pokemon, The Emotion Pokemon, and the Embrace Pokemon. Imagine seeing the chipper and sweet adventurous boy you were with go through the things Ryoken went through and the man that brought you to said boy is the reason behind it? That’s Kirlia’s POV , Yeah? Imagine little baby Ryoken curled up with his kirlia, now you’re crying with me.
A Pokemon like the Gardevoir evolution line would be a fitting Pokemon wanting to stay by Ryokens side and would be Ironic in a way Considering Fairy type Pokemon are the ultimate weapon against Dragon type Pokemon.
I could see her evolving into Gardevoir some time after Ryoken makes the call to end it all. She’s determined to stay by his side and care for him and try her best to help Ryoken the best the Pokemon could do like a doting older sister after everything that’s happened
Also his Ability to summon Data Storms by hand reminds me of the fact Gardevoir will make a small black hole to protect their trainers, and his vrains Avatar reminded me of Gardevoirs design from the colors, the flowy skirt-like cape, to the headset covering his face. I’m not a big fan of of it but I like to think for this AU I’ll only like it cause I’m gonna make an excuse that he wanted to match with his first ever Pokemon partner
The reason Spectre has a Gallade could be because it was a gift for Spectre as he made him his right hand man during the beginning of his whole knight of Hanoi thing. Since I’d sometimes see Gallade portrayed as Gardevoirs knight amongst the fans and the media. Fitting, no?
Now for the second Pokemon it’s gonna be the Flapple and the Garchomp. Back to what I said with Spectres Part, Both him and Ryoken had an Applin but his evolved into a Flapple due to the apple being tart, and the Flapple is a little shit that’s constantly causing fights.
I like to imagine when Ryoken was maybe around 10-13 he and the others had to go and look for Flapple cause it was out causing mischief, turns out Flapple had spit his Acidic Liquid inside a lil gibles hole in the ground and are now fighting. Flapple, the little shit that he is, saw it as a fun game while the poor little Gible was practically crying while throwing attacks at the flapple cause look! The poor little guys head hurts 😞
So with Ryoken being Flapples trainer and taking responsibility for what his little shit of a Pokemon did they take the Gible to Kyoko to fix up the little guys burn scars (Not without bite marks on their arms and fingers though)
After the treatment and befriending Ryoken you will never not see the two fighting and bickering, even after Gible eventually evolves into Garchomp, Flapple is still gonna pick fights with him and pretty much spit acid into his eyes to get him to fight. The fights usually end with Garchomp running to Ryoken crying about Flapple being a meanie. (While said Flapple cuddles up to Spectres Appletun acting as the worlds most innocent little thing 😇)
Is it bird? Is it a plane? NO! It’s Ryoken on the back of his Salamence! You’ve heard of dueling on motorcycles AND you’ve heard of dueling on Duel Boards but get ready for…Dueling on Pokemon! Y’know that scene where Yusaku watches him ride on the back of his monster during his whole link sense scene in season 1? Yeah that scene but he’s on his Salamence. The knights of Hanoi use Genesects, Ryokens using a DRAGON
I placed Dragapult and Salamence in his team solely because of Borrel Load Dragon if I’m being honest. They could be Given to him by his father when he goes after the Ignis. You already KNOW the dreepys are nipping and pulling at his bangs and his little hair tuft that’s on the top of his head that reminds me of a happiny
Maybe post Canon I could see him racing Dragapult while riding Salamence just to see them have fun
Now the last little gremlin, Hydreigon, I felt was fitting due to the Pokédex entry stating. “It’s said that Hydreigon grew ferocious because people in times long past loathed it, considering it to be evil incarnate and attacking it relentlessly.” Ryokens dueling and strategies are Brutal to a T we all know that
Hydreigon to me seems like a very fitting Pokemon he would use when hunting for the ignis. Get to the Duel between him and windy: “GET YO F***ING DOG BIH” “She don’ bite” literally everyone watching- “YES SHE DO!!!”
Also I’d just like to make note his Hydreigon is a She and her name is Heidi and she’s a special spoiled little princess 👍
Tumblr media
Yuzu-
Yuzu’s here to sing! Cause Dueltaining and Pokemon Showcases are her thing! I can Totally see her being a Pokemon Performer and Coordinator while also being a Dueltainer! She’s multitasking and multitalented!
When she was born I could imagine her dad Gifting her Pokemon as a surprise for her, and he would take into great care and consideration for each one he would search for. He took such good care of finding her perfect Pokemon partners that some of them are just a bunch of Mini Yuzus mimicking bits of her personality and a few of her mannerisms!
Her Dad got her an Audino as a way to help him make sure she’s healthy and happy. She usually stays at home to tend for the chores and the food. No one makes sweets as good as Yuzus Audino, and that fact is Sora tested and approved!
Very nurturing and motherly to Yuzu but only for Yuzu! Y’know how Yuzu would wack Yuya with her feather fan? Yeah picture that but with yuzus dad and Audino. Nagging her father is probably her second favorite thing to do, her first? Styling Yuzus hair of course! Loves to wear matching accessories together with her, if Yuzu were to keep a hairstyle Audino did for her while dueltaining? She’ll be bouncing all over the place in excitement and happiness!
Her Vivillon Loves to flutter around and dance with Yuzu during duels whenever her melodius monsters take center stage! Hates being in her pokeball and prefers playing pretend as a bow on the back of Yuzus head while she’s at school or dueltaining, has she gotten in trouble for it? Sometimes yeah, but Vivillon doesn’t bother anyone so the teachers will allow it. (Though they do try to get her into her pokeball during exams. Keyword, try.)
Be careful on avoiding Vivillons bad side if you don’t want her to blast you in the face with a Bug Buzz (*ahem*sylvio*ahem*) This Lovely Bug DOES NOT like him one bit, if he’s not getting harassed one way or another by Vivillon? Straight to the hoptal because something’s not right ☝️ I mean I’m not gonna sugarcoat it, all of Yuzus Pokemon hates Sylvio they leave it to Vivillon though cause she just downright despises him
Her Altaria is quite the gentleman though and very easy going, and is the the only male Pokemon in Yuzus team. He will always be humming and singing a tune for anyone and everyone who will listen especially for Yuzu, when ever Soprano the melodious Diva takes center stage in a duel Altaria will make his appearance, ready for a duet! He loves performing, this bird was MADE for the spotlight and he’s never shying from it!
Yuzu takes extra attention over his coat, it’s fluffier and shinier then a Wooloos and he takes great pride and joy with it! Loves it when yuzu would use his coat as a makeshift pillow, anyone else were to try (or god forbid get candy in it *Ahem* *ahem*) you’ll get blasted with Dragons Breath that’s for sure
Lurantis is Yuzus most spoiled and Sassy Pokemon, she’s had her ever since she was a little Formantis who would throw the most hectic tantrums if not left alone to sunbathe in her little pot.
Lurantis is not the best with other people and is quick to cut them down a few pegs if they were to say or look at yuzu and her other Pokemon funny. Loves to show off during performances and battles as she takes great pride in her appearance and strength, but will slice your hand off if you try to touch her and aren’t yuzu! You can look but no touching! Or you’ll lose the ability to touch!
But she seems to really like yuya? How Strange, she’s constantly trying to cuddle up to him (somebody help him he doesn’t wanna get sliced up)
Skitty is another stay at home Pokemon who Yuzu found alone and abandoned in a box! She isn’t exactly the brightest one in her team, but this silly derpy kitty is adored by Yuzu and her other Pokemon so does it matter? After all out of all the Pokemon the little skitty is probably the most adored Pokemon in Yusho Duel school and all she Does is nap and chase around her own tail!
Has any work gotten done whenever skitty came over to visit? No. Has everyone kinda just duel eachother to see who gets to spend the most time with her? Yes. Did they get assaulted by the Yuzu Fan afterwards? Also yes. Was skitty napping during it all? Indeed she was, indeed she was…
Now the Flabebe wasn’t hers originally she was a gift from Masumi/Julia. Yuzu takes great care over Flabebe and will panic and freak out if the smallest thing were to happen to her. Her and Masumi/Julia will get teased by there friends saying that Flabebe is like there kid, those same said friends gets punched in the face and wacked in the head later but still-
Flabebe is so shy and meek and poor thing will just get scared over anything tends to stick by close to Yuzu, Audino, and Lurantis the most. It’s an important rule in Yusho that Flabebe is NEVER allowed to be alone when out of her pokeball!!
Wants to be able to perform with yuzu and the others but is just to scared to go on stage, maybe one day she’ll find the strength?
Tumblr media
Leo and Luna-
The twins were very simple and easy to decide for! They obviously had to have matching Pokemon while also having their own unique Pokemon. Now you might be wondering, Why the hell is Entei and Suicune here?! Let’s work our way up first!~
Plusle And Minun are Pokemon I could see being with the twins since infancy! Their designs and color schemes are practically matching like they were made to be there Pokemon!
Leo and Luna are always cheering for each other whenever they need one another and are always cheering for the people they care about and you already know Plusle and Minun are joining in on the cheer!
I could totally see Leo and Luna on their Duel Boards with Plusle and Minun sitting on the board with them with their own tiny little matching helmets
Speaking of matching, The Twins Meowstic Duo are not to be taken lightly. they were given to the twins to act as a sort of caretakers/Babysitters. They are both protective of the two despite not actually being the twins Pokemon. The male Meowstic is constantly on the worry over the Twins safety to the point it’ll overthink even the tiniest scenarios
The female Meowstic is the level-headed one and keeps the male Meowstics head from exploding with his over thinking, she’s constantly throwing people out windows with her psychic ability if she deems that person as a threat. Or if she’s just bored and deems the person annoying- It happeneds so often that if they go through a week without someone being tossed out a window at least once? They Rush straight to whatever Pokemon center there is nearby in a panic.
The only person she won’t ever throw out a window though? Yusei. Is the male Meowstic jealous? Big Time
Leo and Lunas Scorbunny and Pichu were actually the first Pokemon they caught on their own.
Leo had caught Scorbunny when he was with Jack, Crow, Bruno, and Yusei. The wild rabbit Pokemon was actually giving the group trouble when they were trying to fix up one of their duel runners outside.
It would steal tools they needed and would make them all chase him around. Pokemon and trainers were running around and crashing into eachother like headless chickens trying to catch that rabbit!
It was like something out of a looney tunes episode or a Tom and Jerry episode. Leo, Annoyed by the Scorbunny at first, soon was able to befriend him later on since the two of them were pretty similar in terms of personality. Scorbunny and Leo are very competitive with eachother, they’ll turn anything into a competition with one another.
Their longest and still running competition is who can Annoy Luna the most.~
Luna and her Pichu actually met under different circumstances, she was out with Akiza when the two of them found the little Pichu knocked out sick and injured and on her own. Akiza and Luna were both understandably worried for the Small mouse Pokemon as they rushed to get her to the nearest Pokemon center. Nervous for the little Pokemon, Luna had wanted to visit Pichu constantly while it was at the Pokemon center and would constantly call them for updates on her health.
Luna made the entire 5Ds team sign a get well soon card for the little Pichu as well as some of her other friends (Do you think Yusei went to Kalin/kiryu to sign it as well yes or no?) When the little Pichu is healthy again everyone in 5Ds encouraged Luna to take Pichu as her own Pokemon since this Pichu doesn’t have anyone else that cares for her like Luna Does, when Luna had asked, the Pichu had happily agreed!
Luna is always carrying her around, was so excited when she got her she even showed off to ancient fairy Dragon! I like to think for this AU crossover Pokemon can see Duel spirits since their another form of monsters in this world.
Now that I’ve brought that up let’s get onto Entei and Suicune shall we? Now Leo and Luna don’t actually have them in their team but they are friends with the two. Entei is pretty much the Reagulus of this AU my idea for this is based off a Pokemon movie I loved when I was little back in the 2000’s “Pokemon 3 the Movie: Spell of the Unown” where Entei took one look at an orphan girl who’s parent’s were abducted and went “Is anyone gonna parent that?” And did not wait for a response (I know it wasn’t the real Entei but shhhh it was a sweet movie and is my favorite pokemon movie so let me be delulu over Dad-tei)
Anyways, Entei and Ancient Fairy Dragon are friends who are in the middle of a custody battle over Luna!!! I feel Like Suicune would come to Leo during the illiaster arc, but it could be a funny scenario if after Entei just yoinks Luna as his he tells Suicune “Dude HOLY SHIT get a kid these guys ROCK!” From legendary to legendary-single-dad pipeline with Pokemon and kids is real ya’ll and it’s SUPER EFFECTIVE!!! TO ANY AND ALL TYPES!!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️🦅🦅🦅
Originally I was gonna give Leo Raikou since he’s Loud and Boisterous like thunder but then I took a moment too look at the Pokédex entries for the three.
Entei is fitting for Luna in terms of color scheme and his Pokédex entry states “Entei embodies the passion of magma.” Luna is passionate over her friends and family and they mean the absolute world to her, she’s only a child but made a promise to a powerful dragon to help save another world. Luna is a remarkable and passionate kid for her age so her and Entei would be a formidable duo
Suicune is fitting for Leo as well in terms of his color scheme and his Pokédex states “Suicune embodies the compassion of a pure spring of water.” Leo’s a compassionate kid without a doubt he’s there for his sister when she needs him at the most important moments and he cares greatly for others just as much as his sister does. Suicune would have high respects for Leo and it would consider him as a reliable ally
Now Raikou’s Entry states “Raikou embodies the speed of lightning.”
Hmm I wonder who’d be good for Raikou? Perhaps…The Master of Faster himself? It would make The duel between Aporia and three of them interesting 😉 maybe I’ll add more in Pt.2 hehe
Tumblr media
Gongenzaka-
“Hey lav, why does Gong only have 4 Pokemon?” You think the heavy strong style needs to over fill your team to the max limit? Fool!! Gong doesn’t need six Pokemon! His four Pokemon was trained to be the absolute best and can beat your team of six any time any day!!! 💪
Real talk though I couldn’t get myself to figure out what a team of six would look like for Gong for a variety of reasons. I know there could be a bunch of fighting type Pokemon I could slap in and call it a day but I want the Pokémon I chose to be fitting for the characters I assign them with when you take a first look. Not only that but for some I want their Pokémon to share similarities to the cards and monsters they use in duels
I’m taking this whole thing way to seriously buts that’s what I do babygirl, for me I can see Gong being the type who’d focus on a handful of Pokemon he’d bring their greatest strength out of.
Yuzu is a Pokemon performer/coordinator and Gong is definitely a gym trainer from a fighting Type gym his family owns, the Heavystrong style not only applies to dueling but battling as well! He isn’t the gym leader yet but he’s working hard to become a strong one trainers can look up to with respect.
His Hariyama has been with Gong since he was little and Hariyama was just a small Makuhita, they would train together non-stop while Gong was growing up. Since they were kids if Yuya would get bullied Gong would chase them off and you’d see Makuhita with Yuya.
Similar to Gong, Hariyama is a gentle giant. you’ll almost always see him looking after the small Pokemon and the kids, they either hang on his shoulders or he’d carry them carefully in his hands. Out of all the Pokemon in the Arc v squad Hariyama is the calmest
Emboar is also a Pokemon that’s been with Gong when he was little, but as a Pignite in his family’s Gym. he was stubborn and not a single Gym Trainer was able to gain Pignites respect, if you’ve watched the Pokemon series and know about Ash Ketchums Charizard that was Pignite with the trainers.
During battles he wouldn’t listen to a single command, to the more unsavory trainers- he’d set them on fire. The trainers in the Gym practically dreaded working with Pignite, Gongs Dad aka the leader of the Gym did not want to see this continue further so he assigned Pignite to Gong in hopes it’ll be a good lesson for him
And a lesson it was, for the both of them! Of course Pignite acted the same with gong at first, but along the line they’ve grown to develop a strong respect for one another and have come to rely on each other, especially after he evolved into Emboar. Although they respect each other Emboar is still a tease and a bit of a bully to Gong sometimes the others. Despite being Gongs Pokemon, Emboar enjoys playing around with Sora.
You can probably catch the two of them roasting marshmallows and eating s’mores together as if they’ve known each other all their lives. The Duo is understandably known as “Gongs Headache” …at least Hariyama is there to help out. They could need all the help they can get though-
Throh and Sawk are Pokemon that are mandatory to have if you were to be a trainer in Gongs Family Gym. Not much could be said about Throh, in terms of personality he’s similar to Hariyama- to an extent. In fact Throh has a slight “anger management problem” he’s quick to anger and is easy to piss off. Say hello to Emboars favorite victim everybody, if you ever see a giant fire pig flying through the air Being chased by the students of Yusho, you’ll know who was in a bad mood that day. Oh wait— there goes Sora…
The only people Throh tolerates is Gong, his Dad, and…Yuzu? Apparently? Likes giving her head pats and teaching her Judo moves.
Meditite is his most recent Pokemon and was the only pokemon who had nothing to do with Gongs Gym. Meditite was a wild Pokemon that watched Gong Duel, He was impressed by Gong thinking he was the coolest! Would follow him around quietly and just watch him. I feel like Gong would find Meditite observing his cards one day that’s how he’d find out about the small meditation Pokemon.
Since then Meditite will always be Meditating on Gongs shoulder during Duels and his dueltaining performances. You’ll always see Meditite on Gongs shoulder, Gong’ll sometimes meditate with Meditite when The days been extra hectic, Maybe Hariyama will join in too! Not Emboar though…Throh tossed him into the ceiling…
Tumblr media
Aoi/Skye Zaizen-
As soon as I had the idea to make this AU, these Pokemon for Aoi/Skye came to me like a prophetic vision. When I think of my sweet lonely girl Aoi as a Pokemon trainer I don’t think of the Competitive trainers or the Trainers who wish to perform despite being a Celebrity duelist herself.
I’m talking about those cozy trainers that show Pokemon of what they also are, Companions. Trainers who will relax all cozy and comfy at home with their Pokemon cuddling close to them, Cooking and baking and enjoying tasty treats and foods with them, playing with pokemon, just simple wholesome companionship and comfort within one another
When I played both Sword and Shield I always had my entire party on Max Friendship with me so during battles when they do something like: “Sora the inteleon Toughed it up so you wouldn’t feel sad!” Or “Palm Palm the venasaur remebers the first time it met you” AND ID BALL MY EYES OUT EVERYTIME, That’s Aoi to me as a Pokemon Trainer.
She wants companions, friends who are their to let her know she’s not alone, so her Pokemon would be EVERYTHING to her. She’d probably prefer to leave them in her home out of their Pokeballs so they can be free to play but also remain in a safe location without harm.
Her Mimikyu has been with her the longest. I was mainly inspired by the doll I’d see Little Aoi carry around during her childhood flashbacks with her and Akira. How I see it happening, a little Mimikyu alone and by itself with no friends to call it’s own stumbles upon a little girl with no parents and the only person she has is her brother with no friends to call her own either. An unexpected yet perfect companionship
Akira is constantly trying to shoo the Mimikyu away knowing what’ll happen to his sister if she accidentally looks underneath the cloth of the Ghost type Pokemon, his sister is the only thing keeping him going he’s not gonna let a ghost type come near his sister and he definitely not gonna let this ghost type taker her away from him! (Spectre and Ghost gal: 👀..)
But the little Mimikyu will not listen, Aoi wants to be friends with Mimikyu and Mimikyu wants to be friends with her too! Older brothers rules be Damned! (Platonic Romeo and Juliet FR FR) Mimikyu will constantly follow the Zaizens around in the shadows, probably making funny shapes in the shadow for Aoi to laugh at. Technically, because of Akira, Mimikyu won’t be Aois officially until AFTER season 1 when he finally gets her a Pokeball for Mimikyu and he doesn’t need to hide from Akira anymore
Did Mimikyu hug Akira so dangerously tight that day? Yes, yes he did. Did Akira break a rib? Hehe… atleast the Zaizens are rich right?…
I also like to make note Mimikyu is known as the “Disguise” Pokemon who disguises himself as a Pokemon thats loved by all and Aoi disguises herself through an avatar of a character that’s loved by all.
Case closed, Next question
Ah, the Ralts, Adorable, sweet, precious little Ralts. I just had to give Aoi a ralts or I wouldn’t forgive myself if I didn’t. The rest of some of these pokemon are gonna be gifts from Akira and little Ralts is the SHYEST Little guy you will ever meet.
Poor thing is always hiding behind someone he trusts. If he wasn’t hiding behind Aoi he’s hiding behind Akira. Don’t tease him, even if it’s the affectionate kind, he’ll cry. When Emma met Ralts she kept saying things like “Who is this little cutie?” And just trying to get him to like her. Ralts cried and climbed up Akiras legs so fast and clinged to him like his life depended on it
Emma’s feelings were hurt immensely that day.
Speaking of clingy, Ralts needs to be holding at least one hand of the other pokemon Aoi or Akira has. OR- he needs to cling and be carried by either Zaizen. There is no debate on this. It’s is a mandatory universal law.
One of the Pokemon Ralts is always clinging to is Aois Cleffa and Marill! The two are bubbly, fun and always filled with energy! Aoi doesnt need an alarm clock cause Cleffa is always up and early running to wake her up and jump on her belly! Hurry up Aoi get up so she can play! Marill is a sweetheart who’ll help Aoi get ready for the day, She needs her tooth brush? Marills got it! Can’t find a missing sock? Marills found it! Gonna play video games? Marills bringing the snacks!
The two of them are very much the equivalent of a hyper active toddler if I’m going to be honest, they love to play and they can’t sit still at all! Something I could see commonly happen is Aoi sitting on the floor bouncing a ball around with Cleffa and Marill going to catch the ball and bring it back to her to toss again while Ralts and Mimikyu sits in her lap, happy to just watch.
Another Pokemon who’s gonna be sitting with miss Aoi? Why her Sobble of course! Sobble is a Pokemon Aoi found herself and took in, though it did take a while for her too do so. How I see it happening is she finds the Sobble hiding on her schools campus during a rainy day. The small Sobble is scared of her at first, cause well.. it’s a Sobble it’s gonna be scared ^^”.. but over time I can see Aoi bringing treats and snacks for the little Sobble and in a couple of weeks the little Sobble begins to look forward to Aoi visiting.
I feel like Sobble gets his own Pokeball and becomes an official member of Aois “Team” on the same day Akira gets her a pokeball to keep Mimikyu. If you thought Ralts was clingy, Sobble is worse he only clings to Aoi and will sit on her head or shoulder when ever he can. Needs to sleep in the same bed as her, and to be fair all of her small Pokemon sneak in the same bed as her to sleep together so it’s not just him. They all have their own brand of clingy, it’s adorable!
Now you might be wondering, “Hey, Lav what’s up with the Primarina?” Well wonder no more! As I will now explain Aois Primarina!……..She doesn’t belong to Aoi! Tadaaaa! 🎉
Ok but real talk though, the Primarina is a friend of Aoi and Miyu. When Aoi met Miyu she also met the small Popplio that would follow Miyu everywhere, Miyus mother doesn’t like Pokemon so she wasn’t allowed too keep Popplio but would play with her in secret when she would play with Aoi as well. Mimikyu would join the girls and the four of them would play together. During the ring incident and When Miyu is taken by the Hanoi for the Lost incident Popplio had searched for Aoi hoping at least she was ok and stuck by her side in worry over Aoi after losing Miyu.
Akira offered to get a Pokeball for Popplio but Aoi refused, she wanted to care for her yes- But she firmly believes she’s meant to be Miyus Pokemon and stuck to taking care of her even when she evolved into a strong and healthy Primarina a part of them both believed that they’ll find Miyu again and she can be her Pokemon Properly, until then Aoi will care for her.
Tumblr media
Takeru/Teddy-Boy-
Gee I wonder what type of Pokémon he’d have??? Hmmmm… Maybe water type Pokemon? For his avatars blue hair, yeah 😌
ANYWAYS- I just liked to make note 4 out of 7 of these Pokemon aren’t his, can you guess which of the four it is before reading the rest of this part?
Now then, he’s another boy whose family owns a Gym in this AU, his grandfather is the owner of a Fire type Gym (to no one’s surprise) from where he lives the gym is very old but still very popular by the locals. After the lost incident and having to live with his grandparents he becomes a favorite amongst all the people in the gym, Pokémon included
The Pokemon in the Gym want to be around him 24/7, sometimes 4 of his grandfathers Pokemon would sneak off and follow Takeru wherever he goes, doesn’t Matter where he is or how far away he is they’ll follow him.
His first Pokemon that’s actually his is his Arcanine, his dad got him a Growlithe as a birthday present when he was little and these two were attached to eachother by the hip.
You’ll always see the two racing and playing with eachother!they’re always gonna be outside, if the suns out they’re out! If the sky’s awake they’re awake so their gonna play! They only time they have ever been separated was during the lost incident, and it was agony for both of them.
During the months Takeru parents were out looking for him Growlithe would be searching with them along with his Parents Pokemon, they tried to get Growlithe to stay with his grandparents since he was just a puppy but he just couldn’t
He has to find Takeru, Takeru needs him so he’s not gonna stop searching until Takeru is safe with his family again. When Takerus Parents pass away during their search Growlithe is just in utter mourning.
Growlithe was in an absolutely pitiful state, even when Takerus grandparents and the Pokemon of Takerus Parents tried to tell Growlithe that they weren’t gonna find him he didn’t listen.
During his Mournful search I can see Growlithe evolving into Arcanine, his Desperation turned aggression.
After the lost incident, Arcanine is terrifyingly protective over Takeru and his family, constantly growling and snarling at anyone and everyone who he isn’t familiar with If they got to close to Takeru. Has bitten so many people who tried to go near him you have no idea.
Flat out REFUSES to be in his pokeball at all he left Takerus side for one day and almost lost him for good. He’s not making that mistake again thank you. Will be following him in link vrains everywhere it doesn’t matter what he’s doing.
Now the Pokemon Takerus Parents Had was the Ponyta and the Pyroar, the Ponyta was his Mothers and the Pyroar was his Father. They are very caring to Takeru and will listen to anything he may ask of them no matter what it may be.
Ponyta was always trying to play with Takeru in hopes to cheer him up, she misses his mother too but she doesn’t want her trainers son to be hurt the way that he is. She may not have been with his mother long but she cared deeply for her so she will care for her son in her place.
His Fathers Pyroar is quiet and a bit melancholic after the incident, he follows him around quietly wherever he goes in quiet unease. Pyroar had great respect for his father as he’s been with him since he was a small Litleo so Takeru feels like his son as well.
Sleeps by him or in the same bed as Takeru if he gets any bad Nightmares. Slightly overprotective when it comes to his health but it comes from an understandable and caring mindset.
The Houndour, Flareon, Cyndaquil, and Chikorita are Pokemon that are new memebers of his grandfathers Gym. They’re competitive with his attention and get in trouble all the time whenever they sneak off to follow him. It’s like watching a group of little brothers trying to impress their older brother.
If he’s out on a run these four are running after him, if he’s in a fight they want to join in and fight with him, if they can’t then they cheer loud and proud for him! During season Two when Takeru leaves to go help playmaker the four of them devised a plan to follow Takeru behind Kikus back! Road-trip! When they finally find Takeru again they practically Ambush Kolters Hot dog truck. Not a single hot diggitty-Dog was spared from the flames that day 😞
RIP The Hot dog truck, Went down in stunning flames 😞😭
Also someone save Ai and flame they are being treated as chew toys—

Go Onizuka-
Say hello to Go Onizuka celebrity Duelist and fighting type gym leader! Yup we got another Gym bro babygirls- this time it’s a Gym Leader! A little thing about the gore in this AU is that the team you see right here? Yeah it’s not a permanent team for Mr. Gore here y’all!
Of course they won’t be gone-gone The Gore love his pokemon all the same! They’ll just be in his gym helping the beginner trainers! You already know most of these trainers ar orphans he took in
This is his Season one team. His team is gonna change throughout the Seasons Except one, one Pokemon is staying by Gores side the entirety of it all! Can you guess who it is? Here’s a hint: The little guy is staring right at you along with Gore!
Figured it out?
That’s Right it’s his Kubfu!
Kubfu holds high respect for Gore and works hard to become an even Stronger Pokemon for him! Kubfu is always training and trying to perfect his martial prowess, though the little guy is pretty Naive and easy too fool..a Popular favorite with the kids Gore visits and looks after, even though Kubfu is scared of them 😅
You’ll see him be chased around in circles by the kids who want to play with him pretty often. Gore has a photo of Kubfu in messy glittery pink makeup and a frilly pink tutu being made to play princess tea party by the girls and he adores it. Kubfu is constantly trying to snatch his phone to delete it..Maybe someday little guy haha XD.
Machamp and Pangoro love teasing Kubfu, these two are like insufferable older brothers who like to pick on the younger ones but are absolute idiots.
Pangoro is pretty lazy whilst Machamps a bit of a showboat, but one thing they have in common is their idiocy and their constant need to get into petty fights with each other, They both get the hots for a pretty girl Pokemon? Fight. They both want the last poke puff? Fight. They want to show off to the fans to show them their cooler then the other? Fight.
The Only moments they agreed not to fight eachother In is during Battles with other Pokemon and when playing with the kids. Surprisingly they work extremely well together during team matches and follow Gores orders respectfully and easily.
Machamp and Pangoro have been with Gore the longest since the three of them were little. So following Gores orders is no problem for them. They Respect him greatly and treat each-other as if they were brothers despite being three separate species. Mess with one of them you mess with all of them type of dynamic! Their not gonna hesitate beating someone up for the other. No way sir!
A Pokemon that doesn’t listen to Gores orders? Mankey, he just wants to fight and doesn’t care who he has to fight and how he fights, strategy’s be damned. Mankey will throw attacks left and right so he’s pretty much the last Pokemon he let’s out during battles, luckily most battles end without him having too let him out. Although, to Gores surprise and gratefulness, Mankey is very quiet and calm around kids.
He doesn’t move or react much when they pick him up and play with him, in fact he seems to enjoy when the kids do. If the kids ask him to do something he’s gonna do it, doesn’t matter what it is. Though Gore and the others Wish he did cause now their are holes in the walls Mankey wtf—
Because of this Mankey is a popular favorite with the kids who like playing sports! They’ll argue and fight who gets to keep Mankey in their team to the point Gore has to make the teams for them.
Even though Gore loves his Pokemon and he loves the kids at the orphanage he just can’t let two of his Pokemon visit the kids. Grapploct himself doesn’t want much to do with those kids, he thinks they are loud and annoying and hates it when they grab at his suckers. Especially does not like the smaller ones and the grubby little cheese puff covered finger, get away from him kid.
Now, Hawlucha doesn’t hate the kids like Grapploct he just prefers the quiet when he’s not in battle and children are not quiet whatsoever.
He doesn’t think they’re annoying but he doesn’t have the Patience to deal with children. he doesn’t mind watching his trainer and companions play with the Pokemon, infact he enjoys watching them play together!
But he swear If one of these kids get candies in his feathers
Tumblr media
Yusaku-
Once again 4 out of 6 of these Pokemon aren’t even his, they just like him. Bro passed the vibe check they were captivated by his autistic swa— you get the idea…
From my view point if Pokemon existed in the Yugioh world, Yusaku would love to be a trainer..i don’t mean the Yusaku in main storyline though, I’m talking about Pre-Lost incident/Hanoi project test subject Yusaku..
Yeah that sweet little kid with the cutest smile? Yeah…now you’re crying with me again
Overthink about this with me for a second, as of now when I make this post there is about 1,000 Pokemon. There should be dozens of Pokemon that would have found the lost incident kids instantly if you think about it, whether they were wild Pokemon or Pokemon that work with the police even a Pokemon that’s kept as a spoiled house pet would figure it out
If you were to ask me to list Pokemon off the top of my head that would find the lost incident kids in like a week or less I could probably give you like a handful of Pokemon that could with out having to do much research.
I could also list Pokemon off the top of my head that could prevent others from finding out.
So not only would little Yusaku lose his love for dueling but I feel like he’d develop a fear of Pokemon as well since they assisted the people who were harming him and it took them so long to find him. Aren’t Pokémon strong and capable of incredible things? Why did it take them so long to find him? Why did they help hurt him?
Now like the previous kids I mentioned I decided to give Yusaku Pokemon thats been with him before the lost incident so h wouldn’t be as afraid of them as other Pokemon after the incident.
His Lucario has been with Yusaku since he was a Riolu. They had a very wholesome brother like bond with one another, though Riolu was a bit of a bully.
He’d snatch things from Yusaku and have him chase him around to get it back, Yusaku never could catch him but Riolu would still give whatever he took back! Yes, he likes to tease him but he’s still gonna be nice to him!
Before the Lost incident Yusaku had problems keeping Riolu out of trouble since he was always causing fights with others. When Yusaku was taken away during the lost incident they had taken Riolu as well and held it hostage while Yusaku was kept in his separate room.
The only thing Riolu had in the dark room was the “Nutritional” food he was provided and Yusakus Aura, Riolu held its focus on Yusakus Aura like it was his lifeline. His heart was practically breaking when he felt the change in the boys Aura who he loved so much.
When it finally ended, Riolu had evolved into Lucario afterwards when it’s health improved. He was determined to act as Yusakus bodyguard and never continued his teasing.
He focuses on Yusakus Aura 24/7 if he ever felt it weaken slightly? He’s panicking and attacking anyone and everyone who keeps him from getting to Yusaku or whoever is getting too close to Yusaku.
Another Pokemon Thats been with him Pre-incident is Ceruledge, a wild ceruledge that had a soft spot for the kid and didn’t mind following around. He met Yusaku when he came across Riolu looking for a fight with him.
During the Lost Incident Ceruledge was very confused, where has the small child who would visit him gone to? Had he left with out telling him goodbye? After the incident and when he finds him again and learns of what happend to Yusaku Joins in Lucario on acting as a body guard for Yusaku.
Ceruledge is not showing any mercy to the knights of Hanoi Thats for sure.
Now remeber how I mentioned how the Knights of Hanoi Use Genesects? Like in Team Plasma? Well before meeting Kolter and when Yusaku was on his Revenge spree he had attacked a group of Hanoi Memebers outside of Vrains with Lucario and Ceruledge.
One of the Genesects the Hanoi memebers used hated their guts and thought Yusaku was interesting so this Genesect will be seen through out Pre-season 1 and season 1 just following him around
Yusaku: I told you to get lost already….
Genesect: 👁️👁️
Yusaku:…
The other three Pokemon were after he meets Kolter and Ai.
A Porygon had found the duo and took an interest in their codes. The porygon has decided to hide in their Database and played with their line of code, evolving it into Porygon2
Thinking they were attacked by the Hanoi Yusaku had did some digging and found the virtual Pokémon in his computer and it hasn’t left them alone since.
The next Pokemon who wasn’t gonna leave Yusaku Alone was Munchlax. The Hotdogs have Allured him and now will never leave the duo alone, Munchlax has been spotted following Yusaku to school hoping to steal his lunches. Shima has had the other students believe that the Munchlax is Yusakus, much to his displeasure.
The third one is Hatenna who finds his quiet disposition calming, Kolter and Ai tease him saying that the small little Hattena has a crush on him cause she’ll attack anyone but him. (She does XD)
Munchlax constantly wants to play with Hatenna, Hattena hates him. You will always see the two chasing each other around the hot dog truck with Munchlax thinking they’re playing and Hattena trying to kill him.
After Season one when Ai leaves and he gets his closure, He’s decides to buy three Pokeballs..wonder who it might be for?~

You know, I've said in my analysis that Flowering Etiole brought pretty much all elements that were references to Yuzu. However, I've looked more at her and noticed one thing...
Tumblr media
WHERE'S HER FAN?
Now I demand that her bounce effect is just that she summons a giant fan to blow all the monsters away with her singing!

ARC-V Month Day 2: Kahyoreigetsu
Today is a day for the Bracelet girls. We have a couple things for the day :> We have plenty goodies so they’ll be under a read more! @arcvmonth​
First up is just a couple quick sketches of them!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
--x--x--x--x--
Here’s a headcanon dump, too! I write about the girls fairly often, and they appear in roleplays as some of my favorite characters to write. I like to emphasize their roles in AUs, too!
Yuzu: The world’s longest normal girl. She’s a kind person that wants to help her friends and we love her for that! Has a rougher side with a bit of a temper, which she indulges in around friends. On her own she can be hesitant to take action and gets intimidated by sudden changes. Basically “Do it” “But I’m scared” “Do it scared”. Also loves to money, but doesn’t everyone?
Ruri: Easily the most eccentric of the four. Before the war, she was certainly like Yuzu- and if you ask Ruri, she would make a Face and condemn that past self as simply “living by inertia”. The war has changed her a lot, and she tends to consider that a positive that makes it harder to connect with others. She’s inquisitive and believes people are good at heart- which fuels a fascination with the enemy and a sharp wit that sees masks and acts as something to break through. Sometimes she says inscrutable things or uses metaphors in confusing ways.
Rin: If Rin is Yugo’s common sense, then Yugo is her moral compass. It isn’t that she’s a bad person at heart, but that she does not care for large causes, great wars, symbols, bureaucracies, lofty goals, utopias... to her, it is all part of the same rubbish that keeps her head down. Rather, she cares for people, and Yugo is at the center of it. She’s not terribly friendly, on her own, but she would gladly see Synchro burn if it would benefit people she cares about personally. She is smart and scrappy and well aware that her dream of dueling with Yugo for the Friendship Cup will land one of them in forced labor. Complexities.
Serena: She’s all about her sense of right and wrong, which is often misaligned. She appreciates efficiency and strength, which sounds pretty villainous until you put her side to side with the other girls. Not one for talking much, she’s very actions over words. Her upbringing at Academia has left her unsocialized, so in a way, she’s like a spicy feral kitten. If you can beat her, you get her respect, and that’s an important thing for her. She wants to do good, prove herself and live with honor, which are all difficult things to do in her situation. Easy to frustrate, can get physical if annoyed enough.
--x--x--x--x--
Last is a comic by Nihil and Birdie. It pertains a particular AU. (cw: Some blood)
Tumblr media
RURI: I want to have a role. Serena says she doesn’t Get it. She cares for freedom, the forest, the wind in her hair... the blood in her mouth. So I turn from her, even though she is right. I don’t need to be a hero.
Tumblr media
RURI: There is Golden-eyed Rin. She has plans she only shares with that person I look up to the most. I don’t get how she can call herself selfish when it is her efforts that will help up. A trial by fire. She is right- Heroes are covered in ash and sad debris. I look away.
Tumblr media
RURI: I am certain Yuzu gets it. She just does not want it.
YUZU: People will die, can’t you see that?
SERENA: But I want to be free.
RIN: But the grudge needs avenging.
...
RURI: A solemn stare, it was loaded with a question:
YUZU: Can you handle the price of having a role in this tragedy?
Tumblr media
RURI: I don’t just want a role to feel good. I want to understand, while I’m not in my brother’s shadow. Wings that protect. I don’t want to suffocate inside my egg. Let me face the sun, I won’t faulter, won’t flinch when I see the scars.
When I see her.

When your new brother is rich and completely unaware.
(to make it clear, that is the American Express Black card, a super exclusive credit card for rich people!)
I've been meaning to draw these three together for a while! Kind of based on this post!
cc under the cut
~AKWARD~
Yuzu: Um... I'm a bit thirsty. Do you guys want anything?
Reiji: Oh. A green tea would be great. Here, take my card (you are a student, after all)
Shun: DON'T BOSS HER AROUND!

All right, these'll be some more thoughts of how Melodious as a whole is shaping up with the new Support, mostly in answer to a certain phrase I've stumbled upon.
"Still no XYZ or Synchros, huh?"
Even back then, I mostly dismissed said thoughts because it was a miracle we got something this good at all, but I put in some thought as I was working this morning. I could sum it up in a sentence, really...
In regards to tying Melodious' theme to the anime and what we wished at the time... That ship has sailed.
Simply put, whatever theme they might have had for Melodious was just halted right then, in my belief when Yuzu didn't even try to learn Synchro. And the theme simply didn't correlate with what the anime was trying to tell about Yuzu, that of being the Standard Dimension duelist, then Pendulum Dimension at the end. And the new support doesn't help much.
Despite what message the anime wanted to convey, Melodious remained a deck whose primary bosses were Fusion. And by giving Melodious a Fusion endboss which isn't even Pendulum, it's a message to me that they didn't really think of fixing that thematic clash. Rather...
The new support focuses heavily on making the current gameplan of the Deck more accessible, practical, and powerful over themes based off the anime.
And that is completely fine.
Why am I bringing up a thematic clash again? Well, let's bring up that picture I had reblogged some months ago...
Tumblr media
Back then, I made a point about how much this image made Mozarta stick out like a sore thumb because of her mismatched association with the flower theme and dimension Yuzu's supposes to represent. I not only still stand by that, but I'd argue it's worse. Not only did they not try to put the flower theme to the Pendulum Monsters to attempt to change course on the theme, but Mozarta's sinply not played anymore because her role has been made obsolete by, ironically enough, the Pendulums themselves.
One would argue the Pendulums do strengthen that thematic connection to the anime, but they really don't change the archetype too much. They simply exist to make it exceptionally more consistent via setting themselves with ease and getting more Melodious to the field to prepare your strategy.
I simply wanted to make an observation, yet it's incorrect to linger on it for too long and complain about it. The design philosophy behind these new Cards was simply to improve the Melodious' current gameplan: a defensive strategy with light disruption bolstered by its protection, which turns into offense, removal and damage via the Battle Phase, and I believe it does so splendidly.
It's no use complaining much about the theme, even though it screams "missed opportunity". But the opportunities needed to be taken when the Anime was still airing. Who watched back then was right to expect Synchro back then but Yuzu didn't bother to learn it (because marketing), they hoped Yuzu would learn XYZ but she ended up super disconnected from it, they huffed tanks of Copium with Yuzu learning RITUALS, and they expected Pendulum from her but the main sources of Pendulum were Z-ARC, Reiji and the Pendulum Dimension. And she was moved as far away as possible by virtue of being flung away from Yuya all the time, being booted from her proposed Lancer position, and spending the whole of the show dedicated to the Pendulum Dimension stuck WHO KNOWS WHERE.
As I've said, the ship has sailed. The designers decided to bolster what was of the Melodious archetype, instead of introducing what could have been, and that's fine. Sure, a Pendulum Mozarta with a bit more of a flowery theme or dress would be SPLENDID, but so was the support we got. It all makes me more hopeful for the future!

my favourite thing, your voice
Written for Mini's Femslash February 2024
Day 25. Your Voice
Title: my favourite thing, your voice
Ship: Dancingdivashipping | Asuka/Yuzu
Word Count: 
Universe: Arc V
Rating: T
Tags: Alternate Universe - Careers, Established Relationship, Secret Relationship, Inappropriate Workplace Relationship, Fluff, Affection
   Yuzu sat in her chair nervously. Her hands in her lap, her shoulders taut. Asuka, meanwhile, was nonchalant as anything as she got Yuzu ready for her big debut.
   All her life, Yuzu had a singular dream: to sing on stage.
   When she was little, her stage had been the living room floor with an audience consisting of her father and an assortment of stuffed animals or other dolls. Her father would clap and cheer and delight and it made Yuzu feel as though she were more important than the sun.
   When she got older, she tried other stages. Other audiences. She learned to sing properly, whether it was for a school play or a similar community production, Yuzu put in her all and did her best. She was beloved by mentors for her work ethic and often the ire of those who thought they deserved the top spot more.
   Lately, ever since being accepted into the most prestigious studio for musicals and other stage productions, Yuzu felt her critics knew better than her fans. That the latter were just being nice to her, that she didn’t truly deserve her place amongst the cast. 
   She had never been more aware of her inexperience than until now. What was the old saying? Big fish in a small pond? That was exactly what Yuzu thought she was. 
   Yet, somehow, she had been made the lead role.
   Yuzu had sung her little heart out at auditions. She danced and she followed orders. She never invited any slack, she did her best and there was something more to it, as well. A sparkle, a shine, a certain je ne se quois that her fellow recruits simply lacked and yet by some miracle, she had in spades.
   It was harrowing and yet, when Yuzu got the call and saw her name on the list, her whole world changed. Completely and utterly topsy-turvy and it was all because of her mentor, she was sure.
   Enter, stage left: Tenjoin Asuka.
   Tenjoin Asuka, wow, what a woman. She who would not get on stage but instead created darlings of the stage. She was all practicality and no-nonsense, hard work all the way and yet, there was a warmth. She didn’t want to break her pupils, merely fix them. She, like all the other peer leaders, were assigned their proteges in a process of matchmaking at the beginning of the recruitment arc.
   The best got the best, or so it went allegedly. Favouritsim? Nepotism? The whole system was corrupt but when fortune favoured you, it's hard not to love.
   Thus, it all too little surprise, that Yuzu was put under Asuka’s mentorship but there was something about Asuka which had Yuzu enamoured even beyond learning Asuka’s reputation. There was just something about her aura, her helpful advice and her kind smile, her bright eyes. Everything about her amazed Yuzu and she learned so much from Asuka.
   Though Asuka was a tough love mistress.
   She put Yuzu through all the drills from the ground up. Forced her to scrap everything that she thought she knew and started over. It was literally the worst thing in the world for a girl like Yuzu who was more pizazz and talent than hard work but it was worth it in the end.
   The night before the audition, Yuzu sang once more for Asuka and it was far more special than any other barking match they had ever had. She sang until she feared she couldn’t sing at all tomorrow. Her notes carried heart and soul, her pitch was clear and perfect, her lyrics memorised and executed with admiration.
   Yuzu panted when she finished and she felt… Empty. Satisfied and full and yet empty. Devoid of breath and energy but she had done so well, it caused her shoulders to slump forward loose as all she could muster was:
   “I did it. I really did it.”
   Asuka bounded to her feet and applauded her, “I love it! I love it so much!”
   Yuzu blushed, “Aw, gee, thanks…” She couldn’t help but to be humble as she had the praise of such a wonderful woman. She felt as though she could faint.
   That was the one thing Yuzu was sure would never change about her. Wouldn’t matter how big or small the role, how fancy the crowd and how big her cheque would be, all she wanted was to sing on stage for a crowd.
   There was no crowd she wanted to please more than the ones she loved and Asuka embodied a unique niche in Yuzu’s heart. More than friends, more than a mentor and mentee. It was oddly natural despite how unnatural it was to blur such lines between colleagues but at the end of Asuka’s training of her, they were more like equals.
   At least on the inside they were equals. The outside wasn’t ready to know that their mutual fondness and requited passions weren’t strictly professional. 
   Which led to moments like this.
   Small moments where it was just them. Halcyon, redolent. Sequestered away from gossip and prying eyes.
   Backstage was quiet. Especially this far into the bowels of it and when Yuzu, leading lady, was given a changing room all to herself. She was told it wasn’t that big but it was bigger than all the changing rooms combined in the community theatres that Yuzu had performed in previously.
   The walls were cream yellow with white lattice. The desk in front of her had the cliche mirror stickered with platitudes and light bulbs which were lit up softly. More makeup than Yuzu knew what to do with was set out in front of her but luckily, she didn’t need to know what to do with it.
   That was Asuka’s job.
   Yuzu did her best to stay still as Asuka swiped and swabbed, dabbed and stabbed. Makeup was a messy process but it wasn’t one which Yuzu hated. By the end of it, she felt like a princess but those spoils came with a wracking nausea, too.
   The more she transformed into the leading lady, the more Yuzu wanted off this ride. All that was left to do was her hair and for now, Asuka was running her fingers through Yuzu’s pastel pink locks and then again with her brush. She was under strict orders from the makeup department on how yuzu was to look and Yuzu had faith that Asuka would deliver but even so.
   She was nervous and Asuka could tell.
   “You’ll do great, I promise.” Asuka whispered.
   She leaned down and lifted her hand simultaneously. She kissed the strands of Yuzu’s pink hair through her fingers, through her knuckles and closed her eyes. Yuzu was perfumed with the scents of citrus and roses, it made Asuka smile as she held this token of affection for quite some time.
   More than enough time to make Yuzu even more nervous than before but giddy, too.
   Asuka sighed then pulled back, satisfied, she smacked her lips together and emanated the confidence only a veteran star could.
   “Now, go out there and break a leg.” Asuka said. “I want to hear it, my favourite thing, your voice.”
