((A/N: Howdy! As you could tell by now, this is a crossover for Pokémon and Undertale!
Specifically, an AU called Trainertale by friisans on Tumblr! There isn't a plot or anything quite yet, so this is 99% headcanons (excluding MOST character designs, which can be found on the AU-owner's blog): locations, Pokémon teams, plot- EVERYTHING!
Some things will be different from AU-canon, just because I think it would fit better. Also canon-ship Alphyne exists, but the story isn't centered around them. Also judging by the T rating, possible swearing, mild violence, family abuse, etc. Quick FYI there. Please do not read if you are greatly affected by anything on the list.
These notes will normally be at the end of the chapters and have my thoughts and commentary, in addition to more detail on headcanons and further ideas.
Let's begin.
It's a beautiful day outside...))
It's a cold winter night in a tiny village near Snowbeak Mountains: powdery snow littering the ground, midnight sky foggy and devoid of stars, trees bare of leaves, all house lights dimmed, declaring its residents asleep.
Almost all of them.
A small shadow ducked just out of sight, not uttering a word. Shuffling of clumsy feet and creaking wood floors give away the location of a small child in the hallway of a family home, a sharp intake of breath at the noise and then silence fills the house.
Daring to make another move, the child -about 10-12 years of age- quickly stuffs a backpack with food, water, and clothes. The child themself looked terrible- barefoot, substantially underweight, eyes almost completely shut in a constant cringe.
Thoughts have taken over the child's mind during this escape plan, thoughts that should never have a need to enter a child's mind in the first place.
How they'll survive alone -led to the child bringing food and water-, how to protect themselves -they stole the switchblade their terrible father used on them yesterday-, how they'll get money -they snatched a handful of their mother's jewelry, she won't miss it, she spends all the money on that and not the family anyway-...
Their parents won't miss them, surely.
The small child grabbed a small water bottle out of caution, then picked up their unfortunately-heavy backpack and headed out the door.
.
.
.
Snow crunching under their feet, the child walked. A strong gust of wind swirled around them, blurring their eyesight and clouding their shaky, exhaled breaths.
Occasionally, some Pokémon would appear in the child's line of sight -a hunting trip, possibly- and attack the child in hunger. In desperate attempts at distracting any and all attacking Pokémon, the child's supplies dwindled to a half-empty water bottle and an opened granola bar -still somewhat more than what they normally ate every day- in less than a few hours.
But they kept walking. Determined to move on, determined to leave their terrible life behind.
They shouldn't have been born to that couple- no one should have to live with that couple. They weren't even parents in the child's eyes; no, they were demons in human skin.
They deserve nothing.
At this point, the child was about to give up hope. Their walking pace slowed. Their breaths shallow. Eyesight blurred, they could barely feel their body.
They would die, die in a world that wouldn't remember them.
Exhausted and losing all the strength they had, they fell face-first into the snow.
.
.
.
/Child...\
/Child, wake up.\
/You are strong. You cannot give up just yet...\
/A new world is just within your reach. You are the future of humans and monsters...\
A warped voice hummed in the child's mind, barely comprehensible under the deafening ringing. The child's conscious returned, but they could not move, the numbing sensation restraining their actions.
"Oh! You've fallen, haven't you? Mom, come here! This person needs our help!"
Through the soft voice that pieced the snowy gales, somehow, their will to keep living was rekindled.
The child stirred.
((A/N: I feed on tears. Do you have any to spare? No? Darn.
