Howdy! I may have ended up writing an fanfic based off of this prompt that MaximumCat had kindly let me use for my own idea!

(Fun fact! Did you know that a tag for Professor Rowen might not be in Ao3?)

In case anyone wants to read it I will post the link!

Both Cyllene and Laventon know what they need to do.

Neither of them were particularly religious, but when you both dream of Arceus standing before the both of you on a platform made of stardust telling you what you need to do to send your unofficial child and their amnesiac train uncle home… because the loop must be closed to ensure that they have a home to return to.

Well, there’s not much to argue with at that point.

Still it was not easy to do.

They both woke up and cried in each other’s arms. They spent the whole day together, holding each other and murmuring reassurances that they both knew were sweet lies.

Why did Arceus ask this of them? What could they have possibly done to warrant this punishment (and clearly it is a punishment). They would never know, they knew this logically but they wondered all the same.

They had agreed to Arceus’ command anyway. Of course they would have. Ingo and Akari were not related by blood, but they were still family. And they had a duty to protect and provide for their family, as small and unusual as it was.

And once Ingo and Akari went through the shining portals, back to their proper places, their proper homes and real families, Arceus checked in to make sure that the agreed upon price to send their family home would be paid.

Of course it would be, they are both people of their word.

Cyllene broke off the courtship, much to the shock of the village. There was gossip about it, of course, but she did her best to make it known that it was a mutual decision to break it. (But those closest to her knew that she was lying about something, but they could not figure out what.)

Laventon went back to Galar on the next boat, his precious books and furniture packed as quickly as possible. The fact that he left so quickly also stirred more gossip as was the fact that she saw him off with an embrace that lasted too long.

(The night that he left, she went to Zisu and sobbed on her shoulder until the sun came up. Zisu couldnt pry the truth of what was going on out of her.)

(He had simply looked at the moon while leaning on the rails of the boat and felt empty inside. He did not sleep that night or the next one.)

They both found and married new loves in their lives. They did their duty and raised families as best as they could.

And in defiance of Arceus, they wrote letters to each other. They wrote of their lives, their spouses, their children, their current work. They also wrote of things that made no sense to those who did not know, of a price they paid for family that wasn’t theirs. A price set by a being beyond understanding. Vague allusions to a duty that went beyond their lifetimes.

The letters were swept under the rug and hidden from public knowledge by later generations.

It would not do to have these two great people’s reputations tarnished. They were faithful to their spouses and these letters could cast doubt upon that.

Until Akari went back to her time and wanted to know about how their lives went. She was confused at first (although all the adults simply said, “they simply grew apart, sweetie” which she could not stand. It was too sudden, too soon after her departure.)

She was smart though, she knew how to research things, she had learned it from Laventon. And she had learned how to use a commanding presence and a tone of voice to get respect and favors from Cyllene.

Once she found the letters that had been hidden, she had broken down crying.

And then she raged.

She gathered her strongest team and headed back to Spear Pillar.

Arceus would explain and if the explanation was lacking?

Then she would make Arceus FIX it.

It was the least it could do after disrupting so many lives to do things it could have done itself.

OMG

alright from our limited data their harmless

however from a comon sense standpoint we should be running screaming…. So who wants to start a fire…

So, questions about your Primal AU.

First, what sort of physical changes are there? We know Palina has tails, and it appears that Sabi has wings in your Braivary sketch, but I can't help but wonder.

Second, what sort of ending did you have in mind? I'd assume it involves quelling Primal Dialga and Primal Palkia, and hope it involves the Clans making peace with each other.

Third, what happens to the masks after a Warden recovers? Is it gone for good, do they keep it around? What?

Finally, what happened with Iscan and Palina? I've left my thoughts under the break if you're interested. Apologies in advance for the detail I go into, the two of them happen to be my blorbos so...yeah. Don't worry, I'm not going to contest whatever choices you make (especially regarding shipping), but my ideas do assume their canon pairing is maintained. (Hopefully I'm not making any incorrect assumptions about what you're thinking with her and Melli.)

As much as I hate to say it, I see no reason to think their relationship didn't take a turn for the worse when the Clans started getting at each other's throats. Not to the point where they'd kill each other, but enough that there would be arguing.

There's no way of telling how that'd impact them while Primal. After all, Violet either had his feeling about Adaman completely reversed - or just is angry because of that "I Told You So" moment you hinted at.

Admittedly, we only know Palina goes Primal - Iscan might not. Assuming that is the case, I'd imagine Vixen would be...curious, about the fish-man. And perhaps less aggressive towards him than other Diamond Clan members. Alternatively, if you want to go the angst route she could basically be hunting him down for...something.

It might also be that Palina didn't die from, well, inter-clan warfare but instead from the storm that claimed Lord Arcanine. No clue if Palkia was enraged back then, but if so then I think it'd be perfect. Maybe Vixen sorta-remembers how the weird fish man tried to save her? He's last on the "To Hunt" list for some reason, even if she doesn't know why. Dying from the storm could also explain why she's sequestered the young Lord away - fleeting memories of his near-death, tangled up with her own, could make her paranoid.

I also think that one of the key memories for Vixen to recover would be that storm. Whether it was killed her or not, Iscan saving her (or at least trying to save her) is a key point in Palina's life. Recovering that memory could be what leads to her finally remembering who she was. No idea if it'd be possible for both Iscan and Palina to end up Primal, but if so that would lead to interesting situations. Maybe they're constantly at each other's throats? Maybe they're reluctant allies? Maybe they have this odd flutter in their heart when they see each other?

Maybe they have to regain their memories together? Not sure how that'd work, but it would be a neat touch.

Admittedly if Palina DID die because of Iscan, I...honestly think Iscan should end up Primal also, likely because of Palina.

Either way, Vixen and/or Primal Iscan regain their memories, the relationship would start being repaired.

wow 0.0- I’m gonna be honest I wasn’t expecting this in an ask but I’m super happy you did this!! And I’m more than happy to answer!!

So for the first question physical changes are mostly minor like increased body size, sharper teeth, tough claws(feet and hands), and some fur, or in a serious case like Violet or Vixen the two both are capable of spewing out fire or poisonous smoke which is common to the species they try to copy. These effects stay behind but only much weaker than before like Melli randomly spewing small purple clouds when upset or Palina spitting little embers at people. For Brave(Sabi) however the wings are connected partially to the suit and can be disconnected at will (probably won’t be removed even after the events that transpire)

second question: The ending does involve Palkia and Diagla but Volo makes an appearance with his followers and uses Giratina to restrain the two to take over the spared who have lost themselves completely at this point because of two pretty major things 1) The gods are panicked and linking themselves to ALL of their spared which is like a summoning to them 2) Giratina is attempted to over take the two control but is unable to because of a third entity drawing their attention away…

third question: (personal favorite) The masks do remain even after the wardens recover but are only summoned if the warden relapses from a traumatic memory that occurs from a memory of the attack or something that happened before example): Sneasler trainer who attacked Melli and captured Skuntank causes a relapse and Violet/Melli (it was a combined effort) almost take him off the census permanently… The guy doesn’t make through the month from a slow acting poison that brought him immense pain and Violet/Melli refused to help him despite Adaman’s attempts (the relapse can cause both feral and human mind to merge and the two can speak to each other in public it is a very unnerving thing for the rest of the clan however and Violet takes advantage of this a lot-)

fourth question: I’m gonna be serious with you… I respect your love of the two blorbos and I too care deeply for them. the two were in a relationship yes and still technically are- but Iscan can’t find Palina and is and has been aware of Vixen for a while partially why he warned Adaman of the dangers with Melli but as you can guess it didn’t work out… Iscan is a honorary spared to Vixen and Violet they respect him and will retreat from his generally space if they feel he is uncomfortable with their presence. The clans only started back at each other’s throats when Palina was announced missing and Iscan had been found nearby and they blamed him so the two weren’t really tense… His scent is all over the cliff side and it does intrigue Vixen as to why this man-who-smells-like-fish is walking around their territory

fifth question: this is a very important part of the story I will be honest with you… Violets anger and hatred stems from Melli’s feelings of betrayal and hurt that came from Adaman over looking important details and evidence that the other wardens brought to him to try to prove it and Melli had been injured when they went to talk to him but was immediately shut down by their older brother figure because he felt they were exaggerating the threat. These feelings grow into hatred and rage when Violet is “born” the confusion with these emotions and how bad it makes them feel makes Violet more violent towards their former leader and the trust that Melli had in Adaman will never truly be regained after it Melli basically d*ed a horrible and slow lonely d*ath of blo*d loss and hypothermia from a lack of protective clothing from the attack from the sneasler and the wounds they had Melli is physically and mentally scarred from that experience and can’t look Adaman in the eyes because they see him as untrustworthy with their feelings and events that occur around them because he might shoot their warnings/feelings down along with the fact that they almost lost skuntank because of him… and that’s not something Melli takes lightly trust me.

Back to Vixen and Iscan gonna say this first Iscan does go feral but it’s a little bit more into the story like about when the research trio meet ingo kind of into it Vixen hunts them down(Rei,Akari,Fate(OC) down and gives them a free trip back to cobalt coastland where Iscan is seen wearing a basculegin mask and squaring off with the local alpha Waldron and winning calming him down takes a little while but eventually he leads them to a small cave where Violet lies injured and unconscious Diagla had overtook Iscan(while alive) to use as a replacement for Violet while they healed(Diagla was upset with them for losing a fight with Vixen/Palkia during one of their full moon all out brawls) but released him soon after and he joins Vixens pack the two are close at this point but it is a respectful close even with the mixed (nice) feelings the two feel in close proximity to one another

When Iscan went primal a memory was triggered that woke up a feeling deep inside of Vixen and helped to slowly wake Palina up and Vixen and Palina did converse together for short periods of time and the two helped give Iscan his primal name Soul which Soul/Iscan liked very much

Palina’s “d*ath” actually happens from blunt force trauma her young lord witnessed it and it effected him badly and is much more skittish than canonly out of fear Palina was attacked by another Volo follower and was pushed off the cliff side by a alpha bravairy and it’s trainer Palkia warped space and brought her back to life as Vixen after she passed from the realm

when Palina has recovered she immediately books it from the med bay in Jubilife village hugs Melli as a thank you for being a good friend and honorary packmate and keeping them all safe knocks over Adaman and Irida in haste(you thought she was tall then she got even taller now) and runs-

THE-

WHOLE-

*SS-

WAY-

to cobalt coastlands to see Iscan(who recovered very fast due to a shortened link to Diagla and not being technically “needed”) out of a conscious/subconscious need to see him and didn’t even break a sweat (Fate blames Palkia and Diagla for the wardens random “energy rushes”)

trust me though Melli and Palina were and stills are in no way interested with one another the two respected one another for their own strengths and we’re more than happy to join together to protect the research trio from Volos followers even after it all the two are often found conversing together in cobalt coastlands or in jubilife village when the two aren’t busy or have given their lords free roam out in the open(something they discovered is beneficial for themselves and their lords)

(I am pretty sure I answered everything- but please let me know if I didn’t completely explain something I am trying to be a bit vague with my explanations as this is still a work in progress and I am attempting to respect canon as much as possible in this au)

Headcanons for Primal au part 2:

Vixen/fox witch(clan nickname)/Palina:

Vixen is easily recognized as a human with their kimono and stance but can run on all fours but it is a very rare thing to witness only happening in battles between Space and Time when they possess their favored spared. They have scars in their face that goes from their right cheek to their nose.

the fox witch nickname comes from the nine tails they have all nine aren’t a part of the suit and Vixen can make them vanish if they choose to but it’s rare Vixen is a more aggressive when the research trio come into contact with them and attempt to attack them but the attempt is thwarted when Violet gets in the way and blocks them.

Vixen has two ninetails as partners one a alola variant that ran away from their trainer and was found by Vixen and a normal ninetails both follow Vixen around and assist with any minor chore that vixen is to busy to deal with at the time they are very affectionate with the research trio much to Vixens annoyance

Vixen*in the language of the spared*: is this parenthood?(gestures in exasperation to their ninetails as the two taunt the local alpha drapion)

Violet: (looks down at the three squirming hairless bipedal zoruas and their adopted feral ball of fur of a sylveon in their arms ) yes. yes it is.

Vixen like many of Space’s spared can teleport around by warping space and altering their location with a single thought though they can do nothing else with this ability unless their touching another person.

Vixen cared for the young lord and did not make him evolve knowing that he was not ready yet and a feeling of duty kept them from leaving the pup and his friend to fend for themselves though the pup is rarely seen with them they built a small tent like structure to house the two and brings food when they go and check on them.

Vixen is crafty and mischievous and does things to mess with Fate and Akari’s studying of the hisuian growlithes and arcanines but is unable to stop the three from learning about them because of violet and their Sylveon. Rei was not amused when he woke up to a damaged tent and an empty camp.

Rei: what did I tell you not to do

Sylveon: sylve slyv veon (to not destroy the camp)

Rei: and what did you do?

Sylveon: sylveon ve veon eon ve (protected you from a dangerous predator)

Rei: :| Sylveon: syylllvvvvv…. veon ve (aaannndd…. destroyed the camp)

(Rei doesn’t understand what their saying he can just tell)

Vixen becomes less aggressive after Fate does a request from Irida to give Palina one of the missing wardens a message by taking it to the tip of the mountain nearby the grave of the last lord of the Isles and read it aloud the letter triggers a small memory that quickly fades but the feeling remains and Vixen assists The trio in the battle with coin and clover.

Vixen just like Violet can communicate with Space but also forgets that they can though they have by accident contacted them and both of them just froze staring at each other for thirty minutes in confusion.

When you go to the isles Vixen is there with Violet with already prepared balms to use the two put aside their opposing ideals and put their heads together to prepare for the coming battle and worked together to chase of the bandits after growlithe evolves into the new lord of the isles Vixen unlike Violet remains in cobalt coastline and refuses to leave (until Fate gets kicked out of the village and Akari and Rei convince them to leave and help them find and assist Fate)

Vixen and Violet grow to respect one another in time as their constant battles when possessed by Time and Space leads the two to seek out comfort from each other’s warmth as they heal from once fatal injuries the dragon side of Violet naturally seeking warmth and Vixen to exhausted to complain as the two cuddle with one another in the light of the full moon.

Vixen removes their mask once and that was when they escorted Akari and Rei up mt. Coronet which while intimidated any possible threats as “the fox witch” led two of the survey corps best trainers to the ruins at the top brought Irida to tears who was comforted by a already upset Adaman. After Palina’s memory search request):

Palina like Melli will never truly be the same after everything and she continues to wear the kimono and keep the tails Vixen had Melli and them see more eye to eye and seek each other out when they feel upset with themselves or she wants to see the research trio and can’t help but mess with Melli cause Violet registered them as hairless zoruas when they randomly adopted them into their pack Palina is a welcome addition to the pack and they are regularly seen around the four when they visit Covalt coastland

Primal au headcanons part 1:

Melli/Violet:

Melli or Violet wears a mask and suit designed to look like the land dragon Pokémon Drazzle an extinct Male evolution of Salandit said to be the harbinger of destruction as they only appear when a volcano is about to erupt. Violet does not actually know what species they take the appearance of nor the name of said species but will respond instinctively like a Drazzle to different events.

Violet is large enough and strong enough to carry Fate/mc around with their fangs(mask or normal mouth) the tip of their tail is like a twisted rainbow a feature that while rare in Drazzle signifies a dominant nature.

Violet does not respect Adaman. At all being anywhere remotely near Adaman triggers a severe agressive response that they have acknowledged that Adaman is the only trigger for…. They don’t understand why… | w^rn€d you b¥t ¥ou ¥u*h€d me +s*d£ a^# n*w h€r£ w_ are

Violet does not enjoy being crowded nor random touch or loud noises they will follow those they know around like Fate, Rei, or Akari. Drazzles are a social species and will adopt smaller poison types or other species if given a good enough reason this has held true for Violet as they surprise adopted the research trio on a survey scouting.

Small size + Pokémon masks + small bits of fur/shivering= Small orphaned furless Zoruas that require a warm nest and food

Violet is highly intelligent and adapts quickly in battle to suit their or their hatchlings needs as the parental guardian of three trouble seeking Zoruas, a feral ball of fur of a sylveon, caring for the needs of hundreds of electrodes, and a large out of control lord. Adaptability like theirs is a blessing.

The mask Violet wears acts like an actual Pokémon mouth and face and has basic wood mechanics that allows a fully expressive facial display like anger, fear, surprise, excitement, etc. along with being unable to be destroyed because Diagla puts it back together like how they heal Violet it’s much harder to seperate them enough to reach out and they don’t even know how to reach them.

Diagla favors Violet more than the others because of their size, abilities, and strength and uses them in the duels with their sibling Palkia. Violet can communicate freely with Diagla if they do choose to but most of the time they forget they can do that and it’s just awkward. As the self appointed mother of the furless two legged Zoruas Violet can and will follow their hatchlings everywhere different parts of the region? Definitely. The jubilife village? Oh yeah their there. The ruins??!! Who do you think walked them up there.

Violet is a very good parent and pays attention to their limits they will know when their hatchlings are ready to face the large bowling ball they hid in a tree. But for now they wait and watch. After the memory search request):

Melli can never truly be completely human in the end the instincts and the mental thought process of the land dragon Pokémon has effected them so much deeper than anyone thought… they wear their ear pieces at all times and started styling their hair to match what they had back then it’ll take time for them to feel complete but they’ve waited this long to be woken up from the long nap what’s a few more months
