the ancient hisuian villagers when i travel back in time to call them gay and give them an iphone

Summary:

Laventon: I don’t know who or what this “Arceus” is exactly, but they likely bestowed us these items as a method of contacting one another.

Volo: Do you know why it changed my name to “Bitch”?

Laventon: …Working on that part.

Notes:

This game is so bad and sucks so much (plays 50 hours and never stop thinking about its characters after like [checks notes] MORE THAN A YEAR.?)

Full disclaimer for chapter 1: I literally out of nowhere wrote the entire thing in like, 2 & a 1/2 sittings while procrastinating extremely, extremely hard on a pre-calc assignment (9/3/23 update: 100%! 😎 I stay winning). Also I'm mostly balling on the characters, they (and this entire fic) are based off canon but are EXTREMELY unserious and have a lot of my personal headcanons in them.

But they say be the change you want in the world or whatever and I desperately want more appraisal and spatialdawn content in the world even if it's in long dumb shitpost form so here we go anyways, hope you enjoy <3!

(Also timeline-wise it is currently 1 day after Akari sets out to collect the red chain with Vl & Sk, there will almost certainly be jumps in the story in future chapters though.)

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter 1: (arceus voice) a million deaths upon you gayboy

Dawn: Hold on, what happened? What is this?

Laventon: TYhskdjhao

Dawn: Thank you, very cool.

Laventon: Sorry!

Laventon: Everyone, do not worry! There is a board of sorts with letters on them which is easier to use than writing them out one by one! You just have to click once and they will appear!

Cyllene: I am aware.

Rei: yeah me too

Laventon: Oh

Laventon: Well good job!

Rei: thanks

Laventon: Anyways, about your question! I don’t know who left this here, but it looks an awful lot like that phone thing you have, just without the extra casing.

Dawn: Arc phone

Dawn: But you guys have it without the arc I guess

Dawn: Wait where’s Volo?

Volo: Must be a real idiot

Akari: Loooolllll ikr

 

[ARCEUS] added itself to the chat

[ARCEUS] nicknamed [Volo] to [Bitch]

[ARCEUS] left the chat

 

Bitch: WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM

Laventon: Mister Volo!! There are children here!!!!

Bitch: Haha oops I um clicked on the wrong thing.

Bitch: Nobody saw that right?

Mai: Hm? Saw what?

Bitch: The message that said “WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM”

Mai: Oh not at all, don’t worry.

Bitch: That’s good

Bitch: Wait

 

[????] set their nickname to [Ingo]

 

Ingo: Strange, my name was different as well.

Bitch: Could it possibly be related to your loss of memories?

Melli: Or this Arceus person just couldn’t figure out what kind of creature Warden Ingo is

Mai: Please do not needlessly antagonize the other wardens, Melli.

Akari: I mean, one time when we were going through a cave together I stumbled and he said smth like “My apologies Akari, I forget that you are not as accustomed to these lands as I am. Please allow me to illuminate the way.” and he like, blinked kinda hard twice and then his eyes started beaming light so I think it’s pretty plausible

Akari: No offense or anything tho, I think it’s cool

Ingo: Thank you very much, Akari.

Melli: Wait, he can do what?

Ingo: I was under the assumption you could as well, being another Warden of the mountains.

Ingo: Is that not normal for us?

Melli: Wh

Melli: I

Melli: Yeah I mean I can. That’s totally normal. I can do it as well it’s a very advanced secret technique of Wardens of the Coronet Highlands. I just choose not to. Do that.

Ingo: I see. Very understandable, I too enjoy having a good challenge from time to time.

Laventon: I think we might be getting a bit off-topic…

Akari: Oops

Melli: Oh yeah what the fuck is going on

Laventon: Please do not use cursed words around the children, Warden Melli.

Melli: What are you gonna do, stop me?

Adaman: W

Melli: Shit

Adaman: What is happening

Bitch: Good morning Adaman!

Adaman:

Adaman: Volo is that you

Bitch: Who else?

Bitch: Oh wait

 

[Bitch] set their nickname to [Volo]

 

Melli: Surprised the name didn’t immediately give it away

Volo: What??

Melli: Fuck you

Volo: What did I ever do to you, Warden Melli????

Irida: Haha

Adaman: WHY ARE YOU HERE

Irida: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Adaman: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Melli: This is the dumbest dream ever

Laventon: Warden Melli, this isn’t a dream.

Melli: Yeah, they always say that.

Melli:

Melli: Wait a second

Irida: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Adaman: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Melli: Oh no this is way too realistic.

Laventon: ??

Volo: …Huh.

Mai: Melli,

Melli: Volo I am sorry I called you a bitch I thought I was asleep and did not realize there would be consequences for my actions

Melli: Also unfuck you I guess

Volo: I

Melli: Also what is going on

Laventon: OKAY so based on some context clues I assume all of these messages are coming from actual people, is that correct?

Melli: Yes for me at least

Ingo: Yes.

Irida: AAAA

Adaman: AAAAAAAA

Laventon: I don’t know who or what this “Arceus” is exactly, but they likely bestowed us these items as a method of contacting one another.

Volo: Do you know why it changed my name to “Bitch”?

Laventon: …Working on that part.

Volo: Hm.

Volo: Well apart from that, I suppose this was quite kind of it.

Akari: I guess it’s not the strangest thing that’s happened

Akari: Can you guys use your phones for anything other than messaging?

Volo: Nope.

Akari: Then I guess it isn’t exactly like the arc phone, bc I also have a map on mine

Rei: wait how do we know that these messages are from the actual other people?

Akari: Uh

Akari: Well I can vouch for adaman since he is still screaming in real life right now

Palina: Irida is also currently screaming in real life.

Rei: yeah I guess that checks out

Rei: also why do you get to be a “moderator” and I don’t >:(

Akari: Skill issue lol

Rei: fuck off

Cyllene: Rei.

Rei: HA HA MISCLICK MISTAKEN CLICKED I DIDN’T MEAN TO WRITE THAT

Cyllene:

Cyllene: Thank you for the information, Laventon.

Laventon: Anytime!! :D

Volo: What a convenient tool.

Mai: Oh good @Melli hey you can come back you don’t need to stalk my brother on his trip to the lakes anymore!

Adaman: AAAAAAAAAAAAaaawait what

Melli: It’s not stalking it’s simply following and also OBSERVING because I am VIGILANT and CAREFUoh shit you were not supposed to know that

Adaman: I

Cyllene: I am going to go have breakfast, I will be back after this is over.

Laventon: We already had breakfast though?

Cyllene: Laventon.

Laventon: Oh yeah haha, me too! See you all later haha!!

Akari: Good call.

Volo: Oh, is that what he was doing?

Adaman: YOU KNEW.?

Volo: Yes..? Akari you noticed too, right?

Akari: Uhhh I mean yeah I noticed there was somebody following us yesterday but I just thought “Huh that would be pretty fucking weird if Melli did that” so I convinced myself it wasn’t him

Melli: Okay now listen here,

Adaman: BOTH OF YOU JUST THOUGHT THIS WAS FINE. AND THERE WAS NO REASON TO TELL ME

Akari: I mean… when you say it like that

Volo: Yes?

Volo: I assumed he was your friend, is this somehow not normal friend behavior?

Adaman: Volo have you ever had a friend in your life

Volo: No, not particularly.

Adaman: A

Adaman: Ah

Irida: Great fucking job, asshole.

Adaman: GET OUT???

Irida: No, this is extremely entertaining to watch :)

Melli: It’s just an extra precaution okay!!! For safety! So you don’t get murdered in the forests or something!

Akari: Hi Irida!!!

Volo: Are you implying that I could be a murderer?

Irida: Oh hi Aki!!!!!

Melli: Er.

Melli: Well anybody could be a murderer.

Adaman: Very true Melli, I find myself growing closer and closer to becoming one.

Mai: Hey Addie maybe don’t write that in a group chat shared with every single warden of Hisui as well as the Captain of the Galaxy Team and leader of the Ginkgo Guild?

Adaman: Oh Sinnoh forbid I do literally anything

Akari: While you’re here melli, do you want a steamed bun?

Melli: …Sure.

Melli: ADAMAN STOP THROWING THEM AT ME

Adaman: You’re literally right over there, why are you using this thing to communicate?

Melli: Publicizing your misdeeds against me

Melli: HAHA CAUGHT ONE YOU BASTARD

Adaman: Please leave.

Akari: Wait first give me 50 pokédollars or I’ll @ Cyllene and tell her you said a swear word in front of me

Melli: Publicly committing extortion.

Akari: Lol what are they gonna do, banish me again?

Akari: …,,,

Akari: @Rei can they do that

Rei: no but you also can’t buy anything in the village due to the whole banishment thing

Akari: Dang :(

Irida: Don’t worry, I’m sure you’ll be allowed back once this whole thing is over, I believe in you!

Akari: Aw thanks Irida :)

Akari: So I should extort melli for money? :)

Akari: Oh nevermind he managed to get away

Akari: Volo can you try to kill adaman so he comes back

Irida: I second that idea.

Adaman: HEY!

Akari: Nothing personal :P idk about Irida tho

Adaman: What does “idk” mean?

Akari: I don’t know

Adaman: Wait then why would you say it?

Akari: …………

Adaman: OH

Adaman: I see

Adaman: Anyways Volo’s not a murderer, I like him.

Adaman: But those things aren’t related or anything!

Adaman: Wait no does that sound worse?

Mai: Significantly worse, in a different way though.

Volo: Ah, thank you. That’s very kind.

Adaman: Volo’s not a murderer and also I like him, but that’s not because he’s not a murderer. Not to say I’d like murderers either or anything I just

Volo: I think I understand, thanks.

Adaman: Cool.

Irida: Volo if you say “I like you too” I will literally vomit everywhere and also ban the entirety of the Ginkgo Guild from coming within 5 meters of our village

Adaman: CAN YOU LEAVE ME ALONE?????

Volo: I

Ginter: you what?

Volo: Oh, I forgot you were here sir!

Volo: Haha.

Ginter: you what.

Arezu: damn, hit by the tag-team double cock-block.

Adaman: Arezu is that what you decided would be your first message sent in here.

Arezu: yes and I am extraordinarily pleased with my choice.

Mai: Hold on

Mai: Hey Melli, what did you do with Lord Electrode while you were gone?

Adaman: That’s a good question.

Melli: Oh, don’t worry about that!

Melli: I put its care into the hands of Warden Ingo, isn’t that right?

Ingo: What? No.

Ingo: At least, I was not made aware of this.

Melli: Haha. You have such an interesting sense of humor, don’t you, Ingo?

Ingo: Pardon? But I was not joking.

Adaman:

Adaman: Melli if the giant exploding orb escapes and goes on the loose,

Melli: IT’S FIIIIINEEEEeee hahaaaaaaaa!!

Melli: Lord Electrode is very self-sufficient and can take care of itself!!!

Adaman: And rolls down the entirety of Mount Coronet,

Melli: You worry too much, Adamaaaaaaaaaaan!!!!

Adaman: Warden Ingo would you mind checking Moonview Arena for me real quick?

Melli: Pl

Ingo: Of course.

Melli: Please

Adaman: Thank you very much.

Melli: Ingo. Ingo please.

Ingo: Lord Electrode appears to be absent.

Melli: INGO

Ingo: Nevermind actually, I’ve located it.

Adaman: Oh wait, really?

Melli: TOLD YOU

Melli: ADAMAN WHAT DID I TELL YOU

Melli: Oh, oh, oh, sweet little Adaman, what did I tell you????

Ingo: Yes, it appears to be at the bottom of a ravine.

Melli:

Adaman: Thank you very much for your time, Warden Ingo.

Adaman: Now,

Melli:

Arezu: melli if you don’t look at your

Arezu: what is it called?

Akari: Phone

Arezu: thanks. melli if you don’t look at your phone he can’t hurt you

Melli: Wait that’s actually a fantastic idea

Arezu: i know right?

Adaman: You know what? Pushing Lord Electrode up a whole mountain is probably punishment enough.

Melli: Punishment for worrying about you???

Adaman: Yeah, yeah. I’d literally eat my other earring if Volo was like, evil or something.

Adaman: Pfft could you imagine?

Volo: Haha.

Akari: Your earring does look sorta tasty

Adaman: Thanks?

Irida: Then it’s too easy, you gotta eat uhhh

Irida: Eat his togepi!

Adaman: Pretty sure it turned into a togekiss at this point

Irida: Eat his togekiss!

Volo: Actually I have two now, a togekiss and recently a togepi.

Irida: Congrats!

Irida: Anyways, eat both of them!

Adaman: Haha

Adaman: Oh fuck we did basically no work this entire morning.

Irida: Actually the work done is negative since Melli accidentally unleashed your Electrode Lord upon the world and now he has to fix that.

Adaman: Fantastic.

Adaman: Well I guess if there’s any more important news we need to know, speak now cause me, V, and Akari are gonna head out for Lake Verity and probably won’t look at this for a bit.

Irida: How do you guys plan to cross the lakes all together without a boat?

Adaman: Great question!

Laventon: Oh, me and Cyllene found out that anybody with the “moderator” status can make their own separate group chats!

Irida: Huh.

Adaman: That. Would be useful.

Cyllene: Can we agree on having one main group for everyone, two groups for the Diamond and Pearl Clans respectively, and then one group for the Galaxy Team?

Volo: Aw :,(

Akari: Don’t worry, you, cogita, & ginter can be honorary galaxy team members for now!

Cogita: No.

Ginter: no.

Akari: Damn okay

Adaman: Sounds good!

Irida: What do you Diamond Clan people need your own separate group chat for anyways?

Melli: None of your business you pichu-sized pipsqueak

Adaman: Confidential and personal matters.

Adaman: MELLI

Irida: Shut up I don’t take shit from a guy whose job is literally taking care of balls

Melli: EXCUSE you

Melli: It’s actually BALL, singular, and not just any ball, but the noble LORD of the Coronet Highlands?!?

Rei: haha balls

Akari: Lmao balls

Rei: more like lorb haha

Akari: Cause it’s like. lord orb lol lmao lol lmfao

Rei: i know right

Laventon: You children confuse and frighten me at times.

Rei: lorb

Akari: So true bestie

Adaman: You know what I’m just gonna

 

[Adaman] added [Mai], [Arezu], [Iscan], [Melli], [Sabi], to [Diamond]

 

Irida: I see your point, for once.

 

[Irida] added [Lian], [Calaba], [Palina], [Gaeric], [Ingo], to [Pearl]

[Cyllene] added [Akari], [Laventon], [Rei], to [Galactic]

 

Volo: :,((((

Cyllene: I do not know what that means.

Volo: Oh if you turn your phone to the side, it looks like a sad crying face!

Cyllene: Ah, I see now.

Cyllene: Anyways.

Akari:

 

[Akari] added [Volo] to [Galactic]

 

Akari: There you go :)

Volo: :D

Cyllene: Anyways, as Captain of the Survey Corps and one of the eldest here, I will be temporarily assuming the position of the administrator here.

Cogita: Agreed.

Ginter: fine with me

Calaba:          k’jmd plo

Arezu: Calaba says she’s the oldest here

Arezu: and that this dumb tablet thing is too confusing to use

Cyllene: …As one of the eldest, unbiased people here,

Arezu: she says agreed.

Cyllene: Fantastic. So, as for rules:

Cyllene: 1. For the sake of the children here, adults are not permitted to use swear words.

Akari: Aw man

Rei: then can the children use swear words?

Cyllene: 2. The children are not permitted to use swear words.

Rei: aw clunk

Akari: That dunking sucks

Cyllene: 3. Do not attempt to evade the previous rules by using similar-sounding words.

Akari: :C

Cyllene: 4. We are here with a common goal, so please attempt to remain civil with one another.

Irida: *Cough, cough*

Irida: Wow that’ll be extremely easy for the Diamond Clan, won’t it?

Irida: Particularly for certain blue-haired and purple-haired members, right?

Melli: It’s not purple, it’s LAVENDER.

Iscan: Hey! :(

Irida: (Not including Iscan)

Iscan: :)

Adaman: *Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough* I have no idea what you’re referring to, Leader Irida!

Cyllene: 5. Barely-veiled, extremely transparent passive aggressiveness does not count as “remaining civil”.

Irida: Sorry :(

Adaman: Sorry :((

Irida: I’m more sorry :((((((((((((

Adaman: I’m not sure what you’re talking about but I’m the most sorry any person could ever attempt to be :((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

Cyllene:

Cyllene: Are you done.

Irida: Yes

Adaman: Yes

Irida: Sorry

Adaman: Also sorry

Cyllene:

Adaman: To an equal amount as Irida is

Cyllene: Lastly, 6. I won’t actively be regulating this, but let’s all agree to try and stay on-topic and use this space for important, necessary, serious discussion.

Akari: Agree

Rei: heh

Rei: ow sorry I mean agree

Irida: Agreed, thank you very much!

Adaman: Same here!

Volo: Agreed!

 


[HISUI] ➪ [Diamond]


 

Melli: Just double checking, Cyllene can’t see what’s in this group chat right?

Mai: I assume not.

Melli: Great.

Melli: Anyways, Irida and Volo can both go fuck themselves

Adaman: MELL

Notes:

1. My sense of humor is literally down a sewer grate

2. Trying extremely hard to have a balanced mix of all characters but it's probably incredibly evident that Sk is my most favorite fucking critter of all time ever. I'm sorry but he is absolutely the main character of this

3. Please, please do comment if there's anything in particular you want to see more or less of (like content of a particular character, humor, fluff, ship content, etc.)! Aside from me owing you my entire life I am also extremely likely to add it! This has been like. 96% humor so far but I do also want the fic as a whole to have a mix of serious and very unserious

4. If by slim, slim, tiny chance you are from the PLA Circus Tent server: Hi hello hiii haha,,, and also YES there will at at LEAST one conversation about eating manaphy & phione and whether or not they'd have the surface tension of a grape

5. Aiming for weekly updates, but this is hhhhheeeaaavily dependent on my schedule. Yippee 🎉 (3/20/24 update: i might have lied a little about weekly updates 😔😔😔 i am so sorry)
