Hi all today I wanna talk about some of the new faces we are gonna see in the Indigo Disk, but more importantly I believe the situation is a….family matter (cue Steve Urkel)
But anyhoo starting out with the one EVERYONE picked up right away
Drayton, the dragon trainer….from unova….
I think he’s most likely Drayden’s grandson
Now on to one that’s a little more tricky but I happen to think is kinda obvious
Crispin, the flaming hot BBL member who has a passion for cooking
Now some people think he’s Alder’s grandson but like we already met his grandson.
There’s only one person (imo) his parent could be….
Inspired by his families gym/restaurant perhaps it inspired Crispin to follow in his father Chili’s footsteps
Now we’re cookin with fire stones, next up we have
Lacey, and your all probably thinking she couldn’t possible have a parent native to Unova….well my friends, I did a little digging (🤭🤭🤭) and I rustled up her father or grandfather…..
Like Clay and Lian (ancestor) she has the gemstone (jade) of her family
Now finally we get to our final BB League member the one who I had a hardest time sussing out a possible relative for
Amarys, the steel stype specialist
I admit I nearly gave up
Some folks believe Lenore is her mother, but that won’t work first off hair color and eye color is off, and the type specialties aren’t a match either
There is one person though who while not being a physical match does fit with Amarys better then Lenore
That’s right call me crazy, lock me up in a padded cell right next to Ghetsis, but I believe Colress is Amarys father
The Striaton Triplets a don't have much depth, as with many of the league members.
Sure they get more in the anime, but that can be said about literally any character.
Woooooh boy the straiton triplets are obscure alright. I haven't really thought of them much tbh, and when I have, I haven't been able to get many headcanons of my own. But hey, that's what these asks are for, eh? Let's see....
Starting with Cilan, let's get the obvious out of the way. The anime made him a submas twins fanboy, so I'm making him a submas twins fanboy lmao. Moreso due to his interest in trains. Speaking of interests I also feel like he has an interest in botany. I know I know, grass type leader, good with plants, it's cliche yes. But it's more so he can grow his own herbs for meals! It's a group effort between him and his brothers, but off the three, Cilan definitely has the green thumb. I imagine he's also a really good singer, and he likes singing when he's attending the plants. That being said he is painfully shy about it, despite his brothers encouragement. I think Cilan, just from his memory link with his brothers, is the more....non combatant of the three? Both in his shy nature compared to his brothers, but also like. He's more accepting of a certain rhythm or expectation,and doesn't really try to change that? At least to me. Post BW has certainly changed that for him, but it's still a flaw I think. He accepts things how they are even when they aren't great. And it's not entirely his fault, I just think he doesn't always see The Problem, you know?
Chili, ngl, give me younger brother energy. Or maybe middle child energy? No clue lmao. I think, of the three, he's the most interested in battling. He likes the energy of it! Of the three, Chili is arguably the best cook, and has a pretty diverse palette. Sweet, savory, spicy, you name it, he got it! Unlike Cilan, can't sing for shit. Got amazing dance moves though ( a great tap dancer). He....is very bad at ignoring rumors. It doesn't help that Cress is a sucker for them. He's even worse at not taking them to heart sometimes. Sometimes it's justified ( look at the memory link) but sometimes he gets ticked off if someone says anything bad about him or his brothers. He's not good at letting things go ( though, at the same time, he would often forget what he was upset about unless what's being said was really bugging him). Chili is the one that wants to be seen as his own individual with his own strength the most. Cilan is too complacent in his eyes, and Cress....well Cress understands but also thinks Chili's overthinking it ( which, to an extent, he is).
Cress! The trio's main gossiper! I don't know where I got this idea from but it's funny thinking how easily Chili falls for whatever shit Cress talks about. 99% of the time it's fake, but he's not telling Chili that. Cilan can sing, Chili can dance, and Cress can play a mean piano. He also can make a stellar latte. Not in combatant like Cilan, but not as eager for a fight like Chili. He likes battling, naturally, but it's like. " Okay, well I like this enough, sure". I think he's also, somehow, the one who's the most organized of the three? He's the one that makes sure the other two are on track with work in my eyes ( again, that memory link changed how I see these three). It's usually him and Chili butting heads but when there's a moue serious conversation in which Chili and Cilan aren't exactly seeing eye to eye, he's usually the one listening to both sides, and making sure everyone remains level headed ( mostly Chili, but you get it).
Now. These three, in my eyes, are teens. Who are they're parents? Where are they? Never said. It's not unusual for kids in the pokemon world to be doing this type of stuff, but you still gotta wonder about it. So I propose this: The restaurant that is their gym was just a restaurant before. It became a gym after the three became gym leaders ( why three gym leaders? Because alder thought it would be funny. Plus he didn't have the heart to pit the boys against each other). Said restaurant was and still is owned by their parents, they've just taken a back seat due to the gym leader thing. Once the boys retire, the restaurant comes in full swing! And....yeah that's all I got.
Hopefully this was an interesting read! I wasn't expecting to have Thoughts about these three but here we are. I have Thoughts about the three monkeys at what they mean for the triplets but that's for another time. And yeah! Thank you for the ask!
It's noted that they serve excellent tea which they prepare in their own special way, so they would probably have their own tea brand
When spooky season arrives they plan a huge halloween party for children - and of course everyone else who's interested
When a visitor of their restaurant has an awkward incident, they'd immediately perform a small show to distract everyone from starring at the affected person
They would probably throw karaoke parties on certain weekends - fangirls squealing everywhere when it's their turn
At Christmas markets they would have their own stand with homemade Christmas snacks
They would never yell at a kid for crying in their presence. For some inexplicable reason, they always know the best way to cheer someone up - unless chili has a short temper at that time. His brothers would calm him down of course and handle the situation themselves
Chili would be a little jealous of his brothers because they've already been through their entire voice break
They can be a little judgemental at times but they definitely accept and love you for who you are
Please remember that all of these are just little ideas that crept up in our heads, none of these are claimed to be official ^^

Hey, I actually got the opportunity to make the two set of Unovan brothers meet! :D
And it’s also three more unovan gym leaders meeting the submas twins off my list, only Marlon is left, can you believe it?? I sure hope I can succeed this sub challenge xP
Also, the striaton trio are super cute and I love them now.
Unova has a lot of contestants to get through so let's get started!
The generation 5 gym leaders were the first full set of gym leaders to have established jobs outside of their battling, and that served to distinguish themselves even more! Who could forget the dazzling Elesa, and her Volt Switching strategies? Roxie is the first gym the player encounters to have a unique gym theme, very fitting for a punk musician like herself! Brycen and Lenora may not have returned to battle as gym leaders in Black 2 and White 2, but both made an impact. Lenora follows the longstanding tradition of Normal type gym leaders being tough to beat for any trainer! And Brycen made a name for himself not just as a ninja, but as a star of the silver screen. Next we have Iris, not yet a champion, but a dragon taming prodigy nonetheless! She's our second competitor to be a future or former champion. Rounding us off is the Striaton Trio- Chili, Cilan, and Cress. Certainly one of the most unique gyms in the series, making every battle against them an uphill one!
Who do you want to see reresenting the most urban region?
Remember- the top two competitors will move on to round 1, not just the winner!
Making them for my custom cover arts for my ds and 3ds games since they're loose copies. They gonna be really small so idk why I did them if Im not even gonna see them 😞
Refrence for size. It's going to cover the barcode
