So!

I'm coming straight outta left field with this one, but hey, some of the best things in life come from spontaneity!

Er... Maybe.

Anyway, here's my Pokèmon AU!

Featuring the Female Protagonists I played as, their names, general differences from canon, and personal headcannons I came up with during my first playthrough of each game!

...and how they fit into the wider world! Maybe. Kinda.

I'm only doing the main series females in this post, with potential a potential sequal in the form of the side game females!

I do know that the main series male's will have their own post though! Mostly because I legitimately cannot control myself, and it's already halfway done!

So, without a further ado...

Arden Forrest!

Childhood friend of Red Audra, and the maternal cousin of the one and only Blue Oak.

Chose Charmander as her starter, named the little guy Flare, and is extremely defensive of the nickname. She is/was ten! Sorry if her creativity wasn't up to par!

Ended up having to travel with Red because her mother absolutely refused to let her leave Pallet otherwise.

Simply stick with him out of convenience after Viridian Forest, mostly because at that point there really wasn't anything to gain in separating from him.

In this continuity she's the older sister of the Sun and Moon protagonists. More on that in Jericho's section.

At the end of her journey, her team consisted of Flare the Charizard, Lenz the Jolteon, King the Slowking, Knott the Vileplume, Skye the Pidgeot, and Blue the Raichu.

Raichu is a stuck up little shit, and pampered, the nickname was obvious. To her at least. Oddly enough, Blue the Raichu hates Blue the human.

The only reason Giovanni remembers her is because she straight up decked him across the jaw when he threatened to kill one of her Pokèmon.

Somehow ended up acquiring Silver as a travel companion for three weeks, Red was bemused. He was also incredibly confused when that feral eight year old showed back up three years later in the news.

Ended up hanging up her battling career shortly after she lost the championship to Lance, and handed over Flare to Red to battle on a more permanent basis.

She still trained the rest of her team, and still does, she just realized that despite her talent in the profession it just... Wasn't her calling. She wasn't as quite as in love with it as she was at the start of her journey.

Bounces around the world for a bit during the three or so years between the Blue/Red and the HeartGold/SoulSilver storylines, and after Lance wins the championship back from her. Trying to find herself.

She participates in the Galar league around the same time as Leon, Raihan, Sonia, and Nessa, mostly as a curiosity, and maybe as a way to try and reconnect with her battling roots, but jumps ship after Opal because fucking hell is their League a killer for self-confidence.

Her jersey number, for the record, was 069. She deeply regrets keeping the uniform years later.

She also finishes the Unova circuit, but doesn't challenge the Elite Four or the Champion, and she tries to do something in the Ferrum Region for a bit before packing up and returning home.

Perpetually pissed off that no one can remember her fucking name.

And no, it isn't about the Championship thing, she was fine with that, really, it's just that the moment she introduces herself ahead of Blue or Red people tend to either treat her like a commodity, or like she doesn't exist.

Made it through the Elite Four and beat Blue before Red.

So yes, she is the official record holder for the shortest Championship. Which, if you're wondering, is exactly thirteen hours, seven minutes, and thirty-three seconds.

She and Blue played Go-Fish for two hours while Red finished up with Bruno.

The ensuing eleven hour battle with Red both traumatized and bored Blue in equal measures.

Blue had the title for a week. Red bolted to Unova shortly after winning and declined the position, turning it back over to her. She proceeded to hold it for another six months before a match with Lance turned it back over.

Actually ends up as one of Professor Oak's lab assistants once she ends back up in Pallet, and... Eventually finds her calling in research.

She throws herself into her education with everything she has. And... Never really loses that passion and drive.

Has to be physically dragged to Passio during the Master's tournament/festival. Dragged. And no, that's not an exaggeration, Blue physically throws her over his shoulder, books their shared flight, and well, he basically kidnaps her.

If it makes you feel any better, he pretty much did the same thing with Red, only it was a private flight that was prearranged.

It makes her feel better, anyway.

She spends the entire tournament/festival in borrowed clothes.

She takes solace in mock-poker matches with Red, Grimsely, Lina, and, oddly enough, Cynthia and Steven Stone.

She does eventually end up becoming a professor in her own right, with a focus on Abilities and how they affect a Pokèmon's mental and physical growth, and also ends up with an engineering degree as well.

In her late thirties I see her taking over Professor Hasting's job for the Ranger association. Mostly because, in my head-cannon at least, Regional Professor status isn't all that it's cracked up to be, and at that point in her life the only reason she would even take over for Oak in any capacity is out of sentimental value for the Pallet Labs.

That, and it's a cushy job, plus she gets to see small children scramble around for over jumped flying tops. So really, it's a win-win.

Teases Jericho relentlessly over her relationship with Gladion.

Not that her romantic life is much better. Someone idly points out that Red is romantically pursuing her when they're nineteen and she proceeds to have a minor breakdown.

Or, you know, she just remains forever oblivious, and Red remains extremely passive in his pining.

Completely blind-sided by Blue's wedding, and honestly doesn't know what to think of his wife, but plays the role of doting aunt pretty well once they have their first kid.

Shows up in the White 2 storyline in a rental tournament, wrecks Rei's shit, comes back a day later during a Team Switch Tournament, and proceeds to destroy the battlefield.

Then, once Rei is the Unovian Champion, she comes for an actual vacation, and actively, and willingly, participates in the Cross-Region Tournament, makes it to the finals, wrecks Rei's shit again, and then destroys the Stadium when she goes up against Red in the semi-finals... Yeah, I'm not sure what storyline to put to the whole rage vent thing, but it's there. It exists. And Red pays for it.

I'm thinking Blue just gets in over his head a week or so before the tournament, and she quietly simmers all the while.

I think if I were to make a fic about her journey/life, I'd call it 'The Trials And Tribulations Of A Run Of The Mill Pokèmon Trainer'. Because... Ya know, against Blue and Red, she's actually a pretty average trainer.

Compared to Red, who'll have participated in over thirty league circuits in his lifetime, (and plowed straight through the champion in a pretty good chunk of them), Arden has only actively participated in maybe five, mantled a single Championship, and completed two other circuits, with the last three or so having her jump ship due to pressure, having to put it aside for prior commitments, or a simple lack of interest, (the incredibly vague Greece based region I have an idea for is incredibly interesting history wise, in universe, it's Gym and tournament circuit on the other hand... Lacks pretty much anything to make it even remotely interesting).

Red will be a living legend once all is said and done at the end of his career. While Arden has a single legal achievement to her name, the famed recognition of being one of three people to take down the Pokèmon equivalent to the Mafia, and a pretty average badge count for a career trainer.

Also, Lina loses to Red on Mount Silver. She knows, she was drafted as the referee because when she came to drop of Red's food for the week. She's pretty much payed off to say otherwise though.

And she doesn't know why.

She's convinced it's a conspiracy.

Fades into relative obscurity around the time of the Sun & Moon storyline, but her damn if her tiny fan club isn't dedicated.

Doesn't show up in Alola for the battle tree because Blue couldn't find her for three solid months.

No one knows what the fuck she was doing.

...she may or may not have been the Gates To Infinity protagonist.

There's a tiny aside to a Snivy named Leaf in article concerning Overgrow and how it affects the Snivy population at large though.

And that's Arden Forrest, a bit clunky, but hey, they're randomly ordered facts, not a character sheet. Next up is the Crystal heroine!

Marie Smith!

Traveled through Johto about three or so years before Arden, Red, and Blue began running around Kanto.

Older than her sister, Lina, by seven years.

I actually don't have all that much on her because I got to the third Gym on Crystal before my brother destroyed the Device I was using to play the game on.

What I do know, from this information, though, is that she disappeared around said time.

No build up, no cries for help, nothing. Just up and gone. She just cut contact with her family, things happened, and she's absolutely infamous for nearly killing three thousand people. Somehow, she's officially recognized as someone who completed the Johto Circuit though.

She got recruited by Cypher.

Again. Shit happened.

Oak blames himself for an incident in the Kiro Region, (Egyptian Region), pertaining to her.

Lina's entire journey is an event and a half because of her.

If I were to make these little things into a fic series, she'd get... Like a seven chapter mini-fic told from seven different people's perspectives throughout her journey.

Those people, in order, would be... Her mother, Whitney, Naoko of the Kimono Girls, Giovanni, Clair, and Oak.

With an extra chapter detailing her death during the Kalos invasion.

She shows back up in the Kalos storyline in this and traumatizes the ever loving fuck out of Serafina.

She chose a Chikorita. Who she loves dearly, even when she's pretty much gone off the deep end, and then some.

Lina Smith, local trouble maker, owner of a perpetually terrified Feraligator, and the best friend of the very weird Ethan Aurum, and the only person who seems to be on Silver's good side. Vaguely.

Oh so vaguely.

Youngest out of three children, her older brother, Gregory, is an incredibly average guy who's extremely confused as to what the fuck happens on her journey, and never NOT worried about her.

Parents died in a car accident some two years before the start of the storyline, is cared for by Gregory at this point in time

Don't ask why Greg is a thing. He just is.

Like Arden before her, Lina takes a very proactive approach to dealing with Silver during the Radio Tower Incident. Which involves decking him in the jaw.

Surprisingly, this is the part where there relationship improves.

Chooses a Totodile and names him Reyne, and is fiercely protective of him. The little guy could put a Sobble to shame... This also means Silver ends up with the incredibly overly energetic and affectionate Chikorita, all for my personal amusement, (said Chikorita is named Lyra, and no, he does not spoil her, shut your mouth Aurum!).

Her entire story isn't so much focused on her gym challenge or the reappearance of Team Rocket, as it is finding out what the fuck happened to her sister.

Ethan starts tagging along after Goldenrod, and starts to reveal he knows a lot more than he's willing to admit about the situation.

Gets caught up in a lot of nasty things, and nearly ends up dismantling an operation to kill Red, Lance, and Cynthia.

(Where are our favorite colored duo, and supporting tree, during all this you may ask? Why, still recovering from trauma of course! Like reasonable, sane, run-of-the-mill people. More specifically, Blue's officially taking over Viridian gym before the start of the Kanto gym circuit season, Red's fucking around in Hoenn for a good bit before coming to Mt. Silver just two months before Lina gets there, and Arden's in that vague Greece based region getting therapy.)

Her journey is just a really long incident report, and Looker has half a mind to slap her at the end of it.

A good portion of it is Ethan's fault though. Ethan, by the way, nails the looking right through you stare.

And a girl named Sarah Morgendy comes up a lot, although it turns out she's just a kid trying to protect her adopted brother from the shit shoe she got them involved in illegally.

The only two problems with that is she's about eleven and emotionally compromised.

Gets recruited by Interpol after everything is said in done.

Gets the code name Agent Lenz.

Demands therapy for herself, Ethan, and Silver. She gets it.

While she's training as an agent, Ethan and his mother move to Unova so that he can attend an Academy meant 'rising stars', and Silver becomes Elm's apprentice.

...somehow ends up married to Blue years down the line. They have two kids between them. Maria and Reginald

The First and Last Times. - Young!Sirius Black x Female!Reader

(A/N): I haven't written an imagine in ages, so this probably sucks so I apologize I advance.

Plot: The first and last time you and Sirius speak, kiss, and see each other.

Warnings: Cussing, Character(s) death, hate on Peter,Wolfstar shipping, terribly written and probably more!

Word count: 3k give or take a hundred.

The first time you saw him, you were completely awestruck. The way his carbon hair framed his face, how he would lean his head back some when he laughed because of something one of the troublemakers in his group of friends would say. (You later learned that they called themselves the Marauders.) His smile was almost contagious, you were gazing from one end of the Gryffindor dining tables to the other end when you first noticed Sirius Orion Black. When you first noticed him, you took everything in you could without actually speaking to him. His grey eyes shined brightly when he and his friends talked about something that he was interested in. Next thing you know, Peter Pettigrew was whispering something into James Potter’s ear, causing him to gaze at you and Lily Evans. Which isn’t unusual whatsoever. He’d been pining after the female since the first year, and now you all were in the second year. It was weird, undoubtedly that you hadn’t noticed the boy, even though you had shared the same house, and had mutual friends. Instead of James looking at Lily, he was looking at you - smacking the top of Sirius’ head, when he confirmed you were staring at Sirius, and not Remus, Peter, or himself. There was an exchanging of words between the male who now had a hand placed where James had hit, and James. Sirius leaned over Remus, to get a better look at you, causing Remus to huff and puff (but not blow the house down.) He sent a smirk your way, causing Lily to mumble something about how James and Sirius were both dumb.

The first time Sirius Orion Black saw (Y/FULL/N) he was in awe, just like you were. The way (y/h/c) would frame your face and would travel behind you if you’d take off sprinting for any reason. He noticed how your (e/c) would light up some as you, Marlene, Lily, Mary, and Alice would joke about something, or talk about whatever you enjoyed. He also noticed how you would toss your head back if you got frustrated with something in the first period since he sat three rows behind you. He noticed how if you really wanted to answer a question your body would wiggle excitedly as you raised your hand, trying to gain more attention from the teacher. But he also noticed how brave you were. You had told Lucius Malfoy off during that class period, due to him making some sly comment about Lily’s blood status. He adored the fact you’d stand up to Lucious - or anyone for that matter - if it meant protecting your friends. He nudged Potters side to point out what he did so Potter wouldn’t hex Lucious. (But he still did, I mean, he had to protect ‘his precious Lily Flower.’)

The first time Sirus had felt the honor of kissing (y/n) was during the fifth year. He had convinced you to sneak out and meet him in the common room, so he could borrow James invisibility cloak and sneak to Hogsmeade. Now the only place open when you arrived was The Three Broomsticks, luckily you didn’t see any teachers. You had both ordered fire whiskey, surprised him. He thought you’d order tea or something more feminine like giggle water. But you didn’t. You ordered the drink he enjoyed, which made the feelings he had for you stronger as silly as it seemed. A good hour and a half later, your cheeks red from the fourth cup of fire whiskey you were downing, and all the compliments Sirius was showering you with. His cheeks were red as well, but because he was trying to plan when to kiss you on the walk back to Hogwarts.

“....But, I told her to fuck off! I mean, I understand it’s against ‘girl code’ for me to go out with you, but who does Marlene think she is? I mean seriously Sirius, she’s not all high and mighty! Merlin, I told her how much I liked you and then she came back and told me that she had a date for the Hogsmeade trip two months ago.” You had been rambling on for a bit, your brows furrowing, your hair bouncing as you spoke due to how much you were moving your head.

“Fuck it.” Sirius murmured as he leaned across the table you bother were sitting at, smashing his lips into yours. You let out a slight squeal, kissing him back with the same amount of passion. It was slightly sloppy, but it was perfect to the both of you and that's all that mattered.

The first thing Sirus had said to you was something along the lines of either a cheesy pickup line or him complaining about something assigned for classwork. Or at least that's what you both agreed to tell everyone. Butin reality, you had gone out to the astrology tower and had found him there, his head hung low as he was looking out. He had just gotten a howler from Walburga. It was telling him how he was a disappointment, for being both in Gryffindor and being friends with many muggle-borns. He was cursing down below, trying to decide how to get away from her and the rest of his family. Now he didn't want to leave Regulus there with them, but every day he became more and more how his parents wanted him and less of a brother to Sirius. Walburga had convinced Regulus to shut out Sirius when he went to Hogwarts. Even though he didn't want to. Regulus wanted nothing more than to have his brother, and to be there for each other but Walburga wanted the opposite. You had walked to the astrology tower distraught. You couldn’t talk the DADA teacher into letting you see your boggart just in front of him, you knew what it would be. You didn't want other students to know. It was the moment you saw your mother dead, on the kitchen floor. You don’t know what happened, and you honestly didn’t care to know. You let out a shaky breath before you started sobbing again.

“Look, this is my feel sorry for myself location, so can you please go.

”“Y-yeah, sorry, I’m also sorry about whatever happened Sirius.” You muttered, turning around to walk down the many stairs.

“Wait, (y/n) that was rude, whats wrong?” He didn’t even need to see your face to know it was you. He just needed to hear your voice.

“Boggart lesson is coming up, and quite frankly I don’t want to do it since I already know what it is.” You replied, turning around again so you were facing his back.

He turned around also, sighing softly. “Your mother's death?” He didn’t need to know you to know about what happened. He remembers you walking down to the Potters house Christmas morning, a few months ago, during your fourth year. You and James had become friends when he realized how close you both lived to each other, and how you were friends with Lily. You had walked a total of three houses down to the Potters, your face red with tears, and your hands shaking. You had found your mother on the floor, dead. You knocked on the door of the more than welcoming home, due to how soft it was the family and Sirius almost didn’t hear it. If it hadn’t been for the terribly loud sob that racked threw your body, after barely hitting on the door, James wouldn’t have opened it.“(Y/N)? Oh my Merlin, what happened?” He asked frantically as he grabbed onto your shoulder, pulling you into his house, his mother instantly walking towards the two of you and motioning for you and the messy haired, glasses wearing boy to go to her kitchen. It pained Sirius to see you like this, the girl he had a crush on since the beginning of the second year, but from afar of course. It pained him to see you look so disheveled and broken, and your loud sobs raking through your body as you collapsed to the floor in the kitchen as the mother and son duo shared whispers about what happened. Sirius was instantly brought back to reality as you said “Y-yes.” in between sobs, running a hand through your (h/c and length) hair, tugging on it some while doing so. Granted this was the first time you both spoke to each other he opened his arms for you, instantly letting you hug him if you felt the need or want to. And you took him up on the offer. You wanted to feel the connection of someone holding you that wasn’t Alice, Marlene, Lily or James. You craved a different type of affection. Little did the both of you know that this night would lead to the both of you have a growing relationship with each other. “Look, (Y/n/n), I know what happened must suck, but I'm in the same boat but the difference between the both of us, and our boggart, is mine is my alive mother. Along with some of my other family, but you get it. I know it sucks dealing with this, but you have people that care about you and for you. Don't hold this in, okay?" He muttered against the girl's forehead, kissing it gently. "O-okay Sirius. Thank you." She smiled a fake smile, but it helped some. Fake it till you make it, right?

The last time Sirius Orion Black saw you, you had been killed. A death eater had used the killing curse on you. Better known as Avada Kedavra. Between the curse and the fact you fell down one floor, he knew you were dead. The love of his life was dead. He instantly ran over to you, while wizards were throwing hexes and curses his way as he ran to you. But he dodged them. He let out loud cries, that would’ve made one think he was struck with the cruccio curse, but he was hit with a pain that was much more excruciating than that. He had lost you. You both were planning on starting a family after the wizarding war, but he was struck with the reality that he wouldn’t be able to do that with you. No one would. You wouldn’t have been able to bare a child, to explore, and even properly live. The both of you had a future planned to share, and now that wouldn’t happen. You were gone. And so was a piece of him. He was heartbroken for the fact he lost you, and the fact that he had lost the only person (besides Remus) he could picture starting a future with. He wanted you to hold is children, knowing between the both of your features they'd be mini-gods and goddesses. The both of you wouldn't have words to describe them, and now he knows he won't even get to have them with you.

The last time you saw Sirius you were standing on the floor above him, fighting his cousin, Bellatrix. She was after you due to the fact that in her mind you destroyed her family because Sirius loved you and you were Muggle-born. You looked down from where you were, smiling gently. You knew you'd probably die, and you know you'd die loved. You were loved by your family, and the family you had chosen which consisted of James, Sirius, Peter, Lily, Marlene, Alice, Frank, and Remus. You felt loved every day. You knew they'd miss you if you were to die, but you never truly knew how much. James and Remus had earned the titles of the older brothers you never had, and you loved them dearly. They were one of the main reasons you and Sirius got together. Peter, Frank, and Marlene were those cousins that you may not always get along with, but you knew you loved them and vice versa. Even if one of them would be a rat. Lily and Alice were the sisters you never had. You all protected each other until the end and vice versa. During your thoughts you felt a slight shove, sending you over a banister and "Avada Kedavra!" and you saw black. As Sirius heard the killing curse he looked up, and instantly shattered. Remus looked up also, along with James and Peter but they knew they had to protect Sirius so they wouldn't lose more than two friends within seconds. They felt the same pain as Sirius but knew they couldn't show it in those very moments.

- The last time you had the honor of feeling Sirius' lips on yours was right when you said the words, "After the war, I want to try to have a baby. Unless you don't want to. Then we don't have to obviously." Your fiance had the widest smile on his face, smiling as he picked you up and placed a kiss on your lips. "Siri, baby you have to use your words..." You giggled softly, knowing him picking you up and so on was his version of saying he wanted to try also. "Yes, (y/n/n), just yes. A million times yes!" His words caused you to giggle, and smack the top of his head softly. "Smart ass, are you ready to go out there, and kick some ass?" He nodded in response, and you smashed your lips into his once more, having a bad feeling about going out there. You could feel something in the pit of your stomach, and instead of thinking something was going to happen to Sirius, you could almost tell something was going to happen to you. You kept kissing him, until you heard the loud voices of James and Remus, as James suggested to fake kiss Remus to you and the other boy what the both of you looked like, but Remus declined, knowing with the cheeky nature of James' he'd probably try to place a kiss on the males lips. James pouted some, declaring the behavior Remus had shown was rude to show to his boyfriend before they went to fight, but Remus just chuckled, hugging the other three people tightly just in case you were to never see one of them again. And honestly, they all thought if one of them were to lose the life they had lived first, it would probably be Peter. And the males suggested to surreptitiously place a bet on it, causing the girls to yell at the inhumane nature they had just displayed. They would be heartbroken if they lost Peter, but Merlin, in the long run, they wished they lost the rat rather than you.

The last words Sirius had said to you were at your funeral. You had been lying in the casket, looking more asleep than dead and it honestly messed with his head, He had been waiting for the woman had been infatuated with to wake up, and tell him it was all some cruel prank on him. But it wasn't. She was gone, and so was a piece of his being. He was sitting outside of the location your funeral, his eyes bloodshot with all the tears he had been shedding, a cup of firewhiskey in his hand and a lit cigarette in the other. He had the suit of his that he wore to the Yule Ball, that you loved so much. You loved how the colors complimented his skin and grey eyes. You loved everything about it on him, and to be honest, you had thought about ripping it off of him many times. But he was the only one to know about that, along with your female friends. But that's beside the point. It wasn't the traditional black, and he knew you wouldn't have wanted that. So he wore the next best thing. "Hey, (YN) I don't know how this works quite frankly. I miss you love. I miss you so damn much, this was supposed to be our wedding, not your funeral. Not you getting laid to eternal peace and it's not fair. I need you here. I need you to be back with me. I still have yet to clean out anything of yours. I broke down the other day when Remus changed the bedding. It smelled like you. It still does. Just not as strong. I miss it. I miss the smell of your perfume and anything else you'd use to smell good. I held your favorite jumper of mine the other day - and it smelled more like you than it's ever smelled like me." He started, hitting the cigarette in between his fingers before starting again. "Doll, I miss you so much. Did you know Lily is pregnant? If you did, give me some type of sign so I know you're listening..." He stated, laughing some as a strong gust of wind came threw brushing his hair in a way you would, behind his ears. "I'm guessing you did. If it's a boy they're naming him Harry, but if it's a female they talked about for a middle name, using your first name. You know you'd love that. I have bets that it'll come out with Lily's hair, and James' eyes. It'll be a cute kid. I'm going to be a godfather! Now, if you were here you'd be a godmother! Or even, an almost mother. Oh, my Merlin, McGonagall would hate that. If she had Weasleys, Malfoys, Potters, and Blacks altogether. God that'd be terrible. She'd be having us again. I think that would be good for her. Dumbledore misses you, you know? He feels terrible about what happened, and even though the old man shouldn't he does. But he does talk about how you're probably having an amazing time speaking with your mother and seeing her." He smiled, putting his cigarette out as he finished it, sighing gently. "Well, (Y/n), I guess this is goodbye for now. I love you. So much Princess." He muttered as he walked back in, putting on another smile as another gust of wind came, and he swore he heard 'I love you, Siri.' But he also knew it was impossible but how he wishes it was true. But he holds onto that, due to the fact it makes his days easier and makes him feel better. He misses you terribly, and so do the boys, but you learn that so quickly when you are almost tackled to the ground by a paler than usual looking James and Lily, knowing what happened. Knowing they were dead. Knowing all Sirius had left was Peter and Remus and you felt terrible. But James and Lily told you about how he still loved you and missed you a few months later.
