Pokémon Legends Arceus: Dimension Collapse

After three weeks of Dawn's disappearance, Barry learns that one of the subway masters has a verrrry similar case to his friend. He decides to go to Unova to 'apply' for the temporary position of a subway master, only to spill some info to team up with the other subway master in locating their pals.

Hi guys! I would've posted the holiday arc on here, but since it wasn't a main part of the plot, I decided to put it on Tumblr (you can see the holiday arc here) instead. I'll probably put some other fan fictional side stories of the main comic on here though!

I love Emmet’s face when Barry casually throws a Pokeball, PALKIA is inside, and Palkia needs to have an offering in the form of a Poffin before it agrees to help
It reminds me of my dog. HE has trained ME (to come running whenever he whines, begs, or makes any kind of distressed noise), and he knows it. He’s a spoiled 60 pound ball of fur, and I love him.
I also had the mental image of Barry and Emmet walking up to Dawn, with Palkia following the boys. Barry casually greets Dawn, Dawn lets ARCEUS out of its Pokeball, and the kids have a calm conversation while Emmet has an existential crisis.
Because APPARENTLY ARCEUS can be contained by a Pokeball?? Not only that, but its trainer is a TEENAGER?!? Teenagers are not known for making great decisions, and the DEITY of Pokémon follows the requests of this teenager!? Ingo is there and isn’t AT ALL SURPRISED?????
Not to mention how Hisui has changed Dawn and Ingo’s reactions to wild Pokémon! I can picture a dangerous Pokémon, like Drapion (there was an Alpha Drapion in the Cobalt Coast, I think) and Dawn sees a Drapion minding its own business and she tries to wrestle it!
Either because it could be a threat (which reminds me of Kamado’s reasons for exiling the player during the Red Sky) or to ensure that the Drapion, who was just hanging out before this small human attacked it herself, knows she’s in charge

  I can totally see Emmet having an existential crisis if he sees one of them have Arceus in a pokéball lmao XD
  Also with the Palkia-dog part, yesssss I completely agree with that. My family basically fostered a puppy when I was younger and she would only behave if you give her chips as a reward. She really liked to do that
  Perhaps when they get to Hisui, there may be a little wrestling here and there :) (also sorry for the late reply, AO3 was down for me here, and it still is a bit in some fandoms for me)

    Were chips that dog’s favorite food? My pup loves carrots! Also car rides, which I have been told is unusual
    I think AO3 was down across the globe, and it’s still not back for some people
    Apparently whenever AO3 goes down, Tumblr sets itself on fire. If you go on Tumblr and look at the tag “ao3 down”, you’ll see what I mean.

Oh Emmet, when you meet Dawn you’ll learn just how many deities can actually be met! Heatran, Cressalia, Manaphy and Phione, possibly Shaymin and Darkrai, Regigigas, the FOUR Djinns (I’m sure Emmet knows about Tornadus, Thunderous, and Landerous, but has he heard of ENAMORUS?) ORIGIN Palkia or Dialga, not to mention the llama stuck in a fence (Arceus)!
I REALLY wish AO3 would let me leave more Kudos!
Fun fact: Wishing someone Kudos in Ancient Greece or Rome (I don’t remember which one) meant that you were wishing them renown on the battlefield!
I found the first few pages of this on Tumblr, and I IMMEDIATELY created an offsite bookmark for the comic and added it to my list of bookmarked stories here on AO3. Two days later, I saw that you were officially putting it on AO3 yourself and I cheered out loud!
I’m excited every time I see that this has updated, and more importantly I hope that you are taking breaks if you need them!
I’ve seen so many people lose their interest in creating art entirely because they created too much too fast and either became too exhausted to continue, or hurt themselves (one of the first people I ever followed on Tumblr was working on 3 comics at the same time and ended up in the hospital for injuring their wrist, as well as getting sick from prioritizing the comic above their own health)
Take care of yourself!

  Emmet’s definitely gonna be screwed when he sees the Pokémon in Hisui, not to mention that a teen’s the one calming all of the Pokémon affected by the time distortion.
  Also, interesting fact about the kudos! Didn’t know that :0
  I’m definitely taking a break here and there, especially with college and work on top of it, so that’s why I had a bit of a slower update this round, but I’ll definitely try to get more pages in this weekend! (Thanks for the check-up! :D)

That cloud in the last picture looks suspiciously like Arceus…
Is it just trying to keep an eye on Barry and Emmet while they travel through time and space?
Or is it going to try and stop both reunions?

I love that Emmet says Subway Masters instead of Subway Master! It’s plural, even without Ingo there! Emmet is so determined and confident that he’s getting Ingo back that he doesn’t even consider failure as a possibility!
If you combine Emmet’s team and Ingo’s Unova team, they have quite a few bug types. Durant, Galvantula, Crustle, and (if you include the Pokémon Masters Ex game) Escavalier and Accelgor. Not to mention the popular idea of Emmet’s Joltik armies (while the idea is not canon, it is based on canon information). I like to think Emmet gets along well with Bug Catchers, but he’s right. There is only room for 2 Subway Masters in the world.
Also I don’t what made me remember this, but to this day I have NO idea how Barry, Impatience Incarnate, got a MUNCHLAX on his team! I don’t know if you know how difficult it was to find a Munchlax in the Gen 4 Sinnoh games, but it was almost impossible. The only more difficult to find Pokémon in the Gen 4 Sinnoh games is Feebas

  He definitely doesn’t want to think what would happen if that isn’t the case.
  Also, glad to know whether the Joltik armies were actually canon or not! I thought at first that that may have referred to the Joltik invasion in one of the B&W anime episodes, but couldn’t remember if that happened in a train station or not lol (it’s been so long since I saw the anime, I started with Diamond and Pearl and ended with XYZ, but saw the other 3 previous series in between ofc :)
  Also- about Barry’s Munchlax- HOW ON EARTH DID HE GET THAT FOR ARCEUS’ SAKE?! He even had the patience to evolve it into a Snorlax! Like, HOW?! At this point, he might as well bring out a Shiny Rosrade and be like ‘Oh? This? Just found it on the trail while trying to fine a gym leader.’ This guy’s got luck, that’s for sure lol

    I didn’t know there was a Joltik invasion in the anime!
    I started the anime with the beginning of Sinnoh, but I found Iris really annoying once she was introduced. Her voice was so high pitched that I got headaches when I watched the show, and the way she would call Ash a little kid got old really quickly. On top of that, I got really busy in general and didn’t have time to watch the show in general.
    From what I remember, Emmet’s Galvantula has the move Cross Poison, which isn’t a move that Joltik or Galvantula can learn by leveling. You have to breed a Galvantula with a different Pokémon that does know Cross Poison, and there is a possibility that the Joltik can know the move when it hatches.
    Fans have taken that information, decided that it took many tries for Emmet to get his Galvantula (which is basically guaranteed to be true), and almost unanimously come to the conclusion that he just didn’t stop breeding Joltiks even after he got the one he battles with

  Oooh, that's a pretty heavy debate there, I'd say for me, probably a 'they' for most legendaries. There are a couple like Latios/Latias, Koraidon, Tornaedus/Thunderous/Landorus I feel like have very defining genders, but honestly dunno the others.

I don't know why I'm thinking of this now, but I've always thought that Emmet's favorite Mythical is Victini. It's from Unova, and it's based on Victory (and Emmet loves winning more than anything else). I doubt Victini would help in this situation, though. They need a Pokemon strong enough to teleport multiple people between regions at the same time
My favorite Mythical is Manaphy, because of Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Sky

Interesting. It was fun to see Barry still worried for the money instead of the task at hand... But eh, it's On Character, I guess.
I wonder if traveling like that would feel like going "Hyperwarp" speed on the more Sci-fi settings like Star Trek or Star Wars.
But at any rate, I hope Celebi didn't goof up there xD
