Shooting my shot with some random plot musings before bed 🙏
Feel free to completely turn me down. Just some ideas. Not super attached to any!

Gold. Gold.
I already told you about my plot for Ryker in Discord! But for Keegan? Maybe Vegas stopped Keean on his first day in the region and quizzed him about the various features. Kind of prodding at Keegan with basic questions: “What’s the best place to get a bite?”, “Is there a rare Pokemon I should look at for?”

Innocuous at first, but eventually leading to:
“What is the crime like in this city?”

Keegan feels like something is off at this point. Then, Vegas goes full mask off and hits him with:
“What was Ryker like in his past?” The kind of question that implies that Vegas knew who Keegan was beforehand, and is not just a clueless tourist. Almost stalker-like.

Vegas has a funny habit of looking at other people from the perspective of what kind of story they can tell. And I think that Ione's optimism will be something that is enticing for Vegas–just not in the way you think. There is a story to be told in the felling of a hero. That is, the enjoyment derived from charting their claim to success 
 only to watch their subsequent fall.

I think it could be interesting if Vegas had been helping Ione out, in getting more “exposure,” in her art, if that is something she would be interested in. Perhaps he diverged from his roots and wrote a piece concerning a “Rising Artist,” featuring her. Of course, he’s already thinking about how he can tear those wings off as he writes it–to get the real story he is after. Essentially wants to destroy her optimism by slowly eroding her reputation thereafter. Kind of a long-term, somewhat angsty plot?

I was hoping that there would be an Idol or celebrity. I like to think that Vegas is often commissioned to write for some big, national, sensationalist news outlet akin to the Daily Mail. Perhaps his writing is what got poor Estella in trouble. If that is the case, I could see how in the original piece that got Estella in trouble, Vegas was responsible for “stretching,” the truth of her little altercation. Perhaps conveniently forgoing the fact that the fan Mimikyu attacked provoked them. And then making the wounds out to be much more severe than they truly were? In the original article, I imagine he tossed around the words, “maiming,” and “disfigured.” That he just made the attack seem like it was absolutely brutal and senseless. Perhaps Vegas was even the one to push the idea that it is morally correct to abandon her Mimikyu?

Both of our characters are from Sinnoh, but I struggle to form a connection. It could be cool if they set sail on the same ship/plane together. To clarify, I mean they happened to use the same means of public transportation in their travel from Sinnoh → Orre. Vegas is a yapper and pretty well-versed in small talk, but I think Kira’s humble background might give her the ability to see through some of his pompous nonsense. I imagine her nodding her head as he prattles on about some BS she does not care about while she is stuck in a plane sitting next to him lmao.

CHUUYAS_HAT CHUUYAS_HAT
HMMMM. I think it would be very cool if Vegas had an outfit that was designed by Choei. Something formal that he can wear to big events. He would have trusted Choei’s creative vision–despite being a pain, he does have some respect for other creatives. At least as it pertains to the talents he lacks.

ScatheAriiasqDrayceon ScatheAriiasqDrayceon
It would be funny if Arii had robbed or cheated Vegas somehow in the past lmao. Maybe he was trying to report on some seedy gambling spot and ran into Arii by a stroke of misfortune. I find it ironic as his name is “Vegas,” but he ain’t much of a gambler. I don’t think Vegas would have even noticed if Arii decided to cheat him somehow. I think he’d only be playing to gain information anyway–he wouldn’t be too caught up in actually winning any amount of cash. I don’t think he would regard Arii for more than how they look–some kid fleecing victims where they ought not to be. His focus would be more on the setting, than the people.

This is objectively hilarious tbh. If he played more than one game with them, Arii would probably decide he's an easy mark and milk him for all he's worth. Might also follow him around trying to determine what someone with no gambling sense is doing up against them
 
damn, yall are doing smash or pass and I haven’t even got my character up, sadge. they’re almost finished though, so it shouldn’t be much longer
 
I think Arii and Anthony should be. Maybe not quite friends but like "Hey you wanna see this tiny joltik I found" "Sure" type dynamic

Honestly yeah, I can see that. Just admiring the Joltik because it is nice and small and living in nature. I see the solidarity.

Also, might I just add that I love Arii- *Hold them gently in both hands*

PFFFF thank you, lol they are just a funny little guy that can do one (1) thing

They might show up with injured Pokemon occasionally. Just. Appears on Anthony's doorstep

That thing they do is a big thing, so I'm vv proud (ignoring the crimes bc crimes are subjective like art I think)

That would be precious. Anthony wouldn't mind the strange wood person, because they help pokemon. And oh wow would you look at that - he does too. Therefore, strange wood person is a pal and the local guard pokemon will not attacc
 
Halo reminds me a lot of Kevin the Emu in terms of attitude, and it makes me giggle a little
 
I'm already seeing how this would end-like at the end of every pokemon episode 😭
but it seems sad

Welcome new homie!

Zedalith Zedalith Now that's even more interesting. Great idea! Keegan would happily answer his casual/innocuous questions, try to play off his questions about crime. "That's a weird thing to put in a culture exposé," with a warning smile. Would swear up and down he doesn't know anything about this Ryker guy when pressed about it, only that he's the head honcho in Pyrite Town.

Aww, he’s too sweet. Feller is kind enough to answer a tourist’s questions. Bro did not know who he was dealing with 😭😭
I imagine V hitting him with a “See you around, Keegan.” Before running off. Without ever telling V his name >: ))
On some real stalker shit.

Payday for Arii! I wouldn't say V is rich, he is living an upper-middle-class life. Some money to throw around, and whatever he lost V would not be too concerned about. If they followed him, they might see V duck into a corner, take out some notes, and maybe have a call with an editor: "I ran into some kid. But, the place was nothing special. I certainly doubt that you'll find the next Team Rocket poking around their basement."
 
Gold. Gold. i finally finished my form! Edited my tracking post in the character sheets with my character form

See the funny way to do this would be Arii dropping an aspear berry on his head, but they'd probably just roll their eyes and move on with their life tbh. The dealings of the paperpushers are none of their concern unless they go tramping about in the woods
 
*kicks in the door*

Everyone will accept my love and adoration for their characters and my ideas for their interactions with Iris and they will like it! :horns:
 
Why am I like this 😭

Everyone, I made some ideas/suggestions about how Iris might feel about/interact with your character at the start of the story. Let me know if you don't like any of them or think they're not accurate so I can adjust, okie?

+ He is INTIMIDATING
+ Probably influenced by Vegas' article and is hella concerned
+ Decides he's intense but not so bad if they eventually team up and she interacts with him properly
+ Still doesn't wanna get yelled at tho 😭
+ Scary but unreasonably handsome
+ Thinks he's a strong trainer, on the same level as her friend Lorcan (who she thinks is the strongest trainer she knows personally)
+ Finds his Sandshrew very cute and would like to play with him! As long as it didn't seem like he would be mad
+ Thinks he probably could show her some cool desert landmarks to photograph but doesn't dare ask
+ Super glad they're on the same side (she assumes, eventually) because that is a freakin' Tyranitar
+ Offers his Pokémon Pokepuffs even though they seem scary like him, as a peace offering
+ Goes out of her way to show him she's a strong trainer too, just in case he does turn out to be evil 😂

+ He's funny!
+ Immediately falls apart if he starts to flirt, but appreciates when he tones it down when he notices how nervous she is
+ Seems friendly and kind to everyone and that makes her feel a little more at ease, is glad to associate with him
+ Shook that he and Ryker and friends like how tho????
+ Also very handsome
+ Wants to see the kinds of things he digs up/finds in the desert/see what process he uses to do so
+ Would actually ask him to show her some cool landmarks in the desert to photograph
+ Gives his Marowak and Hoothoot treats she made, maybe offers him a human baked good too?
+ Taking an instant photo together and giving Keegan the one and only copy to remember their adventure by.

+ Her hair is so pretty! She loves the colors.
+ More importantly--OMG YOU HAVE AN EEVEE TOO!!!!
+ Wants to talk about her Eevee and Umbreon, swap tips, give them treats, pet them, etc.
+ The biggest hypeman ever when her second Eevee evolves into Espeon later, talking about their ears and air currents and stuff
+ Super interested in her artistic process, wants to discuss their creative pursuits and compare notes.

+ Iris is probably a casual fan of her!
+ Introduces herself with, "By chance, are you a popular idol? You resemble this one I know a lot!"
+ Expresses her like of Estella's music and performances and wants to know what brings her to Orre.
+ Probably wouldn't be super aware of the scandal since she's a more casual fan and hasn't been to Unova/Hoenn in a while
+ Two of her Pokémon are FLUFFY and Iris is a big fan of that. Offers all of them Pokepuffs, including Dollie although Iris doesn't hype her as much
+ Literally tries to give her a bunch of her spare contest seals and stickers when she realizes Estella likes them
+ Thinks her nails are pretty

+ Rocks are cool!
+ Would want to ask if Kira has any interested in evolution stones. If yes, immediately offers some from her parents' lab
+ Curious about how she detects mineral deposits
+ Wants to lowkey join Kira on a "day in the life" so she can photograph mines and write about miners and whatever else they do
+ Her Flareon probably wants to bat Kira's Rolycoly around like a ball
+ Seems reliable, one of the first people Iris wants to team up with when things go south

+ Yes, she always calls them Ms. Shaw
+ "Thank goodness, we have an adult here to help with this!" "Aren't you an adult?" "..."
+ Compliments them on how well-polished their Scizor is, like a weirdo
Need further confirmation about her acting for related headcanons, does she only act in horror movies? Or cross genre?

+ An active reader of his articles but they usually freak her out more than anything 😭
+ Treats him like a mini celebrity upon first meeting
+ Oh no, he's handsome
+ Weary about his Garchomp, but offers all of his Pokémon snacks anyway
+ Wants to interview him about interviewing other people for her own curiosity

+ A MASSIVE fan of her work as a fashion designer, unreasonably excited to meet her
+ Probably asks her to sign on of her magazines like 😭
+ Also GLACEON
+ "Did you know that Glaceon is more tolerant of heat than many fire types because--" blah blah blah
+ Would be literally honored if she would accept a cookie Iris has made

+ He's very smart, super smart, wayyyy too smart
+ VERY interested in his work as a sound collector, sees it as similar to her work as an "appearance" collector. Wants to know more about it
+ Ohh, he's handsome tho
+ His Pikachu is so cute, she really wants to feed it and cuddle it and play with it and yeah
+ He's intense but not scary

+ She thinks he's cute oh no hahaha
+ Pokémon Ranger. He's cute AND a good person? Wants to be his friend real bad
+ Thinks he seems super fun and hang-out-cool
+ Loves Lady Luck despite her being big and a dragon due to her even temper
+ Offers him and his Pokémon baked goods

+ Immediately wants to tell him about the Pokémon sanctuary her other friend owns
+ He is INTIMIDATING pt. 3
+ Relaxes more easily when she realizes he's not a bad person, just grumpy
+ Wants to make a donation to his sanctuary
+ Handsome oh no
+ Will tackle any local poachers like a Rhydon in a surprising and terrifying display of defense against him/his sanctuary/his Pokémon
+ Likes his PokĂ©mon better than him until she gets to know him better. 😂

+ He is INTIMIDATING pt. 2
+ Thinks his Zorua is cute, not sure how to feel about the devil dog and massive fiery dragon
+ If she finds out he's InterPol she's "someone who knows what they're doing, hooray!"
+ Please be nice to her she's just a smol bean 😭
