You know the story already- a heroic tale of the girl who fell from the sky and the man with no memories. The story of how they bonded and grew- eventually returning home to where their family was waiting.
But this story… this story is different.
Because, you see:
Akari fell too early (she was taken in by zoroarks)
Ingo lost his memory (and became a wild mountain man)
Emmet tore through space and time (which is ill advised in general)
And Elesa just wants her brothers back (not even Arceus can stop her)
Wouldn’t that make anyone a little… feral?
Notes:
(Emmet does not cause any bodily harm or murder in this fic. This is a fun romp, not a murder revenge story lol)
Here we go! The long anticipated (by me) Feral in Hisui AU!
But before we get into it, credit where credit is due.
I did not *intend* to base my Akari around this post

by au-wannabe-the-very-best on tumblr… but it looks like I read the post, forgot about it, and then just so happened to come up with the same idea the next day. Craaaaaaazy…
Anyway, their AU’s are very fun so you should check them out.

which has some of the best pokemon world building I’ve ever seen. I ADORE their trainer-pokemon bond system so much that I’ve adopted a modified version for all of my fics. Please check the fic out, it’s Submas you’ll like it.
And finally (as always), KelpieMomma’s fire at will series

sold me on Dad!Ingo, and I have been living the high life ever since.
Anyway, with all that out of the way, here’s the first chapter!
CW: light mentions of blood, head injury, and there is an unconscious child.

Chapter Text
Tragedy struck earlier this week when two year old —— —— went missing while on a trip to the beach with her parents.
“I don’t know what happened!” Says a distraught Mrs.——— “One second she was playing with our dog Snowball just fine- and then the next time I look over it’s just Snowball and no sign of ——!”
Despite thorough searching of the beach, there has been no sign of the little girl, something that has authorities assuming the worst.
“We see things like this all the time.” Says Chief Johnson, head of the ——— police force. “A parent takes their eyes off their kid and the next thing they know, the kid’s gotten caught in a riptide and is half a mile out at sea. It’s an unfortunate fact of life- heck it can kill adults too!”
When asked how to prevent such a tragedy from occurring Chief Johnson advised, “If you get caught in a riptide, don’t try to fight it. You’ll just tire yourself out and drown. Instead, swim parallel to the shore. That’ll get you out of the current faster and won’t exhaust you. And for heaven's sake, don’t lose track of your kids on the beach!”
During the summer, the ocean waves can be quite tempting, but make sure not to neglect your safety in the pursuit of fun!
If you believe you’ve seen —— —— (black hair and gray eyes, last seen wearing a red sun hat, red sandals, and a white sundress with strawberries on it) please call the number xxx-xxxx-xxxx
