Soul(mate)s of Light: A SatoGou AU - Master Post

EDIT 17/12/2022:

Now that the Pokémon Journeys cicle came to an end yesterday in Japan I thought it was time to give a title to my SatoGou AU series that never had a specific naming. Although there’s the “Litten’s Narrative” fanfiction series, this only cover a part of Ash and Goh’s lives and all under the perspective of Hope’s Litten.

To englobe Litten’s stories, the separated fanfic texts and their future lives portrayed in illustrations and comics I’m naming my SatoGou AU as “Soul(mate)s of Light”. The title refers to Ash and Goh’s Pokémon Spirits of Solgaleo and Lunala, respectively, whose Pokémon are known as the Light Duo; yet it also refers to the relationship between the two characters because I believe in the thesis that when one’s destined to the other, they reencounter themselves through time and space and life reincarnations.

“Friends yesterday, lovers today, soulmates forever.” — Unknown author

“There are no accidental meetings between souls.” — Sheila Burke

“A soulmate is an ongoing connection with another individual that the soul picks up again in various times and places over lifetimes.” — Edgar Cayce

“Important encounters are planned by the souls long before the bodies see each other.” — Paulo Coelho

Already existing content will be updated to include the hashtags #Soul(mate)s of Light , #Soulmates of Light to be easier to find these contents in the tumblr search engine. Future works will also include these tags.

Original text: I never thought in early 2020 that what I initially started to draw as a small play for fun would turn out into an alternate universe of mine with comic strips, illustrations and written stories that are all connected between themselves.

And something I’ve even less predicted would be the lovely messages and positive feedback I’ve been getting from people in the course of time. Suddenly I have, by the time of writing this post, over 750 followers (Edit 4/12/2022: Now almost 1500!). It’s crazy, I’m pretty certain I had less than 50 in early 2020. Thank you so much to everyone that’s sticking around with me and for your herculean patience to deal with my fluff, I just love the chemistry of these two boys very much. So why not imagining a scenario where a romantic relationship happened to be canon? The possibilities!

Considering it might be difficult for new followers to keep up with my content, I thought it was better to create this Master Post for an easier catch up of content I’ve created up to date. Some earlier illustrated works will probably go through a Version 2/Revision with improved lining and other fixes because I feel I’ve improved in a few things with the time. The same goes for fanfiction texts where I’m gradually fixing grammar snags or alter minor/medium-sized things!

Some drawings might look odd or very inconsistent and that can be justified by the time they were drawn.

So, here’s the list of reference, sorted by chronological order of the AU itself, as of 20/02/2024:

For the time being, not much is known about this mysterious character whose expression rarely shows any emotion even when he's battling with his Ceruledge.

Two things are certain: he is very focused on obtaining Liko's pendant (actually, a legendary Pokémon called Terapagos) and he works for the Explorers together with his colleagues Zirc and Onia with objectives that are as yet unknown to viewers.

Other illustration done with the usual watercolor technique.

My phone is tearing apart and because it's an indispensable quotidian item I had to order a new one. However because I continue jobless this was quite a stretchy investment to do, so I urgently need to compensate most of the costs as possible (400€ in fact).

Above is a summary of what I manage to do and I provide more details through the private chat where I can provide PDF files of the TOS and the base prices. If you're not able to commission me, there's two other ways to help:

  • Ko-Fi donations (I accept multiples of 5€ in that platform)
  • Reblogging for exposure

It's been really rough on my end as I keep sending CVs and getting rejected so any help counts. Thank you very much for reading in advance!

UPDATE 08/05/2024: I received 208€ by the time of this update! I'm needing 192€ more to total the 400€ of investment. Thank you to those who helped this far!!

Roy has always lived on a remote island and his grandfather used to tell him stories about the owner of the mysterious Poké Ball he has. Surprisingly, this object contained a Shiny Rayquaza that escaped! Finding it and battling it became one of his main goals as a Pokémon Trainer.

Energetic and lively, he's always ready to go on an adventure around the world and interact with all kinds of people and Pokémon, sharing experiences with his Fuecoco and Wattrel.

Anyone who doesn't know him will probably think that he's a pilot. It's not a profession, it's a passion for travelling the skies, and he hates being cooped up in a laboratory. This Pokémon Professor doesn't even like to be addressed as such!

Founder of the Rising Volt Tacklers, this character treats all the crew members like family. He loves adventures and has a tendency to forget to tell his friends things, but whenever there's a dangerous situation he can count on the help of his partners Captain Pikachu, and a Dark Tera Type Charizard.

I can't remember the last time I drew realistically. It was probably during my academic career in Fine Arts. My graphite pencils are survivors from that time when I sweated a lot between many evenings observing live nude models and scratching A2 sheets. This kind of work is out of my comfort zone and so I was worried that I might be out of practice (damn you, imposter syndrome!), but it went better than I thought 💪.

This time the next drawing is about what I consider, in the 47 episodes I've seen of Pokémon Horizons, to be my favourite adult member of the Rising Volt Tacklers crew.

Affable and dedicated, she's passionate about everything that involves machines and that's why she's a competent mechanical engineer on the airship and the main person responsible for the vehicle's maintenance. However, outside of this environment she is a bit clumsy, but this characteristic makes her particularly fun!🔧

In the Pokémon Sun and Moon games (as well as the Ultra versions), this girl is the Trial Captain on Akala Island who tested the Trainers' skills when they were confronted with a shoal of Wishiwashi.

In the animated series, she was one of the students at the Pokémon School taught by Professor Kukui during Ash's stay in the Alola region. A fishing expert, she spends a lot of time at sea with a Lapras, a Primarina and an Eevee named Sandy, hoping to catch a rare Water-type Pokémon.

Lana is a particularly striking character due to her calm and amusing personality and her tendency to make jokes with some exaggeration along the lines of "I can catch legendaries like Kyogre". (Which, ironically, ended up happening in a specific episode in which Ash was the only witness!)

Players of Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum and associated remakes, admit it: I've revived memories of one of the toughest battles ever in your entire experience as Trainers. That's how I feel too, apart from mentally hearing some piano chords when I look at this Lady with a capital S who is widely respected for her mastery in creating her Pokémon team and her status as one of the strongest Trainers in the world (Sinnoh Champion and 2nd place in the World Coronation Series before Ash entered the competition).

Calm and graceful, when she's not on the battlefield, she devotes herself to archaeology and knows the mythology and legends of Sinnoh and other regions very well. And anyone who followed the seasons in which she first appeared will also remember that she is a great ice cream lover, having difficulty choosing which flavour she wants to eat!

Cynthia remains one of the Trainers I most admire in the games for the memorable and difficult fight I had as a teenager in the Pearl version (and more recently in the Shining Pearl remake), and also in the animated series for her charm, wisdom and the high level of competition she offered viewers - it was worth waiting fifteen seasons to see her fight Ash!

Traditionally drawn and painted with the watercolour technique!

Thank you so much for your patience, everyone! Part sixteen of "And So The Adventure Begins" is now available! Priorities delayed a lot in bringing this new batch of frames plus I very recently had to replace my mobile phone by urgency and I've been open for art commissions and donations to cover the expenses, any help counts. Even reblogs!

Ash's memories continue and will extend for a little longer. Part 17 will be uploaded as soon as it's ready, stay tuned for how this story continues!

Looking back at all the stuff ash went tho

Does he...remember all his deaths.

If so,did he tell goh or his mother...

Or a threapist-

I believe he both remembers and forgot about times he nearly died due to his altruism combined with recklessness 😆. Ash has travelled so much since he begun his career as a competitive Pokémon Trainer that his stories would be enough to write a collection of books!

And he wouldn't tell Goh about every single moment he happens to remember, he knows his husband can get agitated about that. The same goes about telling his mother!

The sketch of this idea was 80% done by November 2023 but I could only fully complete the illustration in the latest days because many things happened and getting ill by the end of the year certainly didn't help. It was about time I had something new to show from the Soul(mate)s of Light AU!

Destiny bonding with a Shiny Latios has been in my ideas list since 3 years ago, but it got reinforced thanks to Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs and the disclosure of Ash Ketchum's animé arc. Long-story short: Destiny rescues a rare Shiny Latios in her original adventures in Hoenn region as a Trainer. Grateful, this rare Pokémon offered flights in the region anytime she would play the Eon Flute. She nicknamed him Delta due to this reason and others! Later as an adult, she's one of the fewest Rangers capable to use Involiths. Whenever her Fearow's flight power isn't enough, she can summon Delta's help with her Capture Styler!

Showing a sneak peak of a watercolour that's being developed! What could it be? The only tip I can give is that it's Soul(mate)s of Light related!

(Note for my AU followers: I still haven't a prediction of when the next comic strip part will become available but I can say that at least a third of the frames batch is already developed. Progress has been really slow due to dealing with many priorities, I once again thank everyone for your understanding and patience!)

Not Pokémon-related but who else remembers this character? 😄 Hugo's game-show was very successful in my country between 1996 and 2001 and I recently managed to make work an old CD on Win10! Entirely coloured with the watercolour technique.

Done since a month but I can only show it now. It was other gift I've done and I like to believe that besides playing harmonica Ash is quite capable in puppetry. It can be a great complement to tell stories to his friends✨!
