Follow Your Passion: A Seamless Tumblr Journey
Heya! Got around to actually doing the other protagonists in the au by the time of the events of Scarlet/Violet! Hope you enjoy!

3 years too late to this meme but here we go
Sun & Moon Tangled AU idea with Lillie as Rapunzel. Gladion still ran away but now Lusamine (Mother Gothel here) has told her he's dead (he fled her "love" and as far as she's concerned he is dead to her) so imagine her surprise when after demanding the people who broke into her tower (Selene, Elio and Hau) take her to the lanterns she finds him not only alive but friends with these people (against his will he will tell her but the friends in question disagree). They get up to the usual amount of Pokemon/Tangled nonsense (Snuggly Ducklng musical number with Team Skull, Kingdom dance and foster fighting a God probably).
CRYING THIS IS SO SIMILAR TO MY OWN INTERPRETATION OF HIM 😭😭
“Chooses to accompany the Ultra Recon Squad in their quest to return life to their own home. Frequents Ultra Space a lot, which has had a few side-effects on him, but he still retains a helpful personality just like his sister. Is also trying to help Necrozma restore itself to end its suffering.”
Even down to the partner choice! Mine doesn’t have quite as much creative canon divergence though
so when are we getting the aforementioned Sun post as a follow up to the Cole one
IT'S RIGHT HERE BABY!!!! Also Idk why I said Sun his name is Elio I was just too preoccupied with Cole-isms I guess. I got Moon right though that's still her name.
Elio is a member of the Ultra Recon Squad! He's from Alola, and after trying to save a popplio from getting swept away in the tides of a bad storm when he was little, they were both pulled into an ultra wormhole. His family thinks he drowned that day.
In typical faller fashion, Elio lost his memories, but still retained some of his knowledge of pokemon and battling, so he and his partners Primarina and Nagandel were able to join the Ultra Recon Squad despite how young they are. Elio is also Moon's half-brother. Shortly after Elio's presumed death their mom moved to Kanto and married Moon's dad. Moon didn't even know she had a brother because their mom never talked about him, even after the divorce and going back to Alola. He's about five years older than her.
Elio serves as an antagonist, being the strongest battler of the Ultra Recon Squad and working with Lusamine. He doesn't know how awful she truly is, he just trusts that she's helping the Ultra Recon Squad with their Necrozma problem. After the events of SM, he goes back to living with his mom and has a lot of trouble adjusting to a normal life again. He's still close with all of the Ultra Recon Squad, though! He and Gladion have a pretty rocky history, but they're friends as well, with Elio committed to trying and help fix the problems he helped cause for all of Alola.
