thank you for clicking the link to my shion lovemail!
just a little warning, I will be discussing heavy topics like suicide in this portion of the lovemail as I will be explaining why shion means the world to me.
shion has been my number one favorite character for 5 whole years now. I discovered him the summer before 8th grade and ever since then he has basically been all I ever think about.
I unfortunately struggle with mental illness and my family situation does not help the matter. during 2014-2015 things were very bad between my parents and that effected me a lot. I always had issues with my parents as they were extremely abusive when I was younger and now that I was older I was starting to realize things. I did not know how to handle all the stress and I ended up becoming someone who stayed in bed all day. when I discovered shion it was because I saw a picture of him posted on Instagram. I decided to watch no.6 because I thought he was very cute and fell in love with the show instantly. I binged the whole thing in one day and when I finished it I could not stop thinking about it, especially shion. the way he made me feel was something I've never experienced before. I was happy which at the time seemed to be a feeling I had long forgotten to feel. watching no.6 allowed me to feel an array of emotions, good emotions. I had been back and forth between feeling nothing and feeling suicidal for so long that feeling sad over something for a good reason was so refreshing. once summer was over going back to school did not help with my mental state. I was tired all the time and after the first two quarters I eventually just stopped going to school all together. despite being sad all the time and hurting myself now and then no.6 was the only thing that kept me going. I frequently rewatched the anime and when i found the manga translations online I almost cried. being able to read no.6 and seeing how much more real and emotional the manga was gave me such an overflowing amount of happiness. I was able to forget everything I had been going through and focused only on shion. he just made me so happy. once school was over the summer had flew past and my mom informed me that I would no longer be continuing the online school program I was enrolled in. I would be going back to the main school district for high school and I had never been so scared for something before. but I had shion and that made things a lot easier. that whole year was nothing but hell for me. when ever no.6 was not on my mind I'd be sad and I would find ways to hurt myself without leaving scars or marks my parents would find. my body grew very weak from sleeping basically all day and when ever I was up on my feet for long periods of time I would grow nauseous and dizzy. I felt as though that going back to school would only make things worse... all I could do was focus on no.6 to distract myself. moving forward in time a bit I was now in 10th grade and still undeniably in love with no.6. i had slowly began working on making myself better and healthier despite the fact that things at home were still awful. having no.6 to help me feel better when I was upset was the main reason i wanted to work on my mental health. i knew that if shion was real and in my life he wouldnt want me to stay in bed all day wishing to disappear. even though he was just a fictional character he pushed me to make myself happier and I did exactly that. I am now in my senior year of high school and getting ready for college. my family situation is as bad as ever but I'm coping. although I still struggle with mental illness and social anxiety I have been able to make important friendships and find activities outside of no.6 that make me happy. because of shion I've been able to make my bad situation not seem all that bad.
now after reading all that depressing shit I'm sure you are probably wondering why exactly shion is so important to me and I am 100% ready to explain to you why he is the love of my life. this is going to be a shorter version of what you will fine in my shion analysis page however I still want to include stuff stuff about him that made me fall in love and comforted me during the hard times.
from a young age shion has always been very smart. he had the kind of intelligence many wish they could achieve. by being a top student no.6 saw him as a person of value and this allowed for shion and his mom to be very privileged but shion never once bragged about this. in face despite having everything he wanted and needed shion felt trapped. be subconsciously knew no.6 was not the place for him and that he needed to destroy it or "break free" and when he met nezumi that all changed for him. I personally see shion for exactly what he is, a 16 year old boy but at the same time he is so much more than that. shion will act his age at times and bicker with nezumi or make sarcastic remarks.. and other times he is extremely mature and so kind hearted that it makes you want to smile forever. shion radiates such bright and positive energy that just the tiniest thought of him can make me smile. he is everything I am not and because of that he has captured my heart. I admire his compassion, his ability to forgive, his open heart, his genuine love for the world and so much more. everything about him just makes me love him more and more each passing day. he has been such a positive influence in my life and I could never thank him enough for all that he has done for. more so I could never thank atsuko asano enough for creating someone who could make me so extremely happy. I honestly think I have made loving shion my entire personality.. and that is okay. he is just everything and so much more to me. despite how many people could see something like this as a bit obsessive, I think finding comfort in something or someone and appreciating it enough to put your thoughts into words to share with the world is a beautiful thing. and that is why I decided to write this lovemail... to share my story of how I found something extremely important to me. I know shion is not real and I know he never will be but his existence has done nothing but make me happy and I love him so much for that
thank you for all the smiles you have given me and for all the future smiles you will bring to me, for all the times you have made me feel better when I was sad or angry, for all the times i have found comfort in your character and for giving me something to care about when it seemed as though nothing in the world mattered. thank you for everything shion!
I love you ♡

no.6 beyond
this page is unrelated to anything actually in no.6 this is just something fun I came up with one day and wanted to include it into my lovemail. basically I sat down one day and brainstormed what each character in no.6 would be in the pokemon universe and gave them a pokemon team that I thought would suit them.
shion
venusaur, rowlet, leafeon, celebi, serperior & phantump
if shion was a character in pokemon he would most certainly be primarily a grass type trainer. although he does not train competitively he still participates in battles every now and then. he works in a lab that studies the ecology of pokemon, how they interact in their environment and with other pokemon.
i chose the six pokemon above for shion because I wanted to show how kind and genuine he is through the types of pokemon he has bonded with. all six of the pokemon I chose for him have different personality types and I really think this represents how shion treats everyone fairly even if they have a bad personality.
nezumi
absol, honchkrow, mismagius, zorua, mimikyu & sableye
nezumi in the pokemon universe would be a talented competitive ghost and dark type trainer. he would be well known for is accomplishments at a young age and his beautiful and mysterious pokemon. he would be picky about his opponents but not in a narcissistic way. he wants to make it seem like he is too good to battle rookies but in actuality he just doesnt want to crush anyone's dreams when he absolutely destroys their pokemon.
I chose these six pokemon for him to represent the mysterious aura he gives off. I also chose pokemon that have more beautiful and sophisticated designs since they match well with his personality. the oddball of the group is mimikyu but I chose him because I think mimikyu hiding themselves under their pikachu disguise represents nezumi hiding his emotions underneath his aloof behaviors
karan
cherubi, bewear & buneary
in the pokemon world karan would not be a trainer (even as a child karan had no desire to competitively train pokemon) instead she owns a bakery in the same town shion's lab is located in. she bakes delicious treats for humans and pokemon. her bakery is popular with traveling trainers and residents in the town. all three pokemon above are hers and assist her in the bakery.
as Karen's personality is not as developed as the other character's in no.6 choosing pokemon for her was a bit harder. so in the end I chose pokemon that reminded me of her. cherubi for the cherry cakes she makes, bewear for her motherly qualities and buneary for her soft and kind heart.
safu
gardevoir, espeon, mime jr, ribombee, espurr & whimsicott
safu as a character in pokemon would not be a competitive trainer. like shion she would work in a lab but she would study the physiology of pokemon rather than their environment. she does not battle but she often watches other trainers battle for research purposes. her pokemon assist her with her work by interacting with other pokemon and protecting her if wild pokemon she studies attack.
I chose psychic and fairy type pokemon for safu because I think they represent her personality very well. safu excels in physiology so i wanted to represent that through her pokemon. I also gave her ribombee to represent her connection to elyurias. I chose a mix of more serious pokemon and more cutesy pokemon since safu is a very serious person but she also as her more softhearted side.
inukashi
cubone, rockruff, houndoom, rhyhorn, lucario & mightyena
inukashi in the pokemon world would be a competitive ground and dark type trainer. they would consider themselves nezumi's rival and most of their accomplishments were gained simply because they were trying to best nezumi. despite their young age inukashi also owns a small rest stop for travelers and pokemon. the rest stop was given to inukashi when their mother passed away.
I chose these six pokemon for inukashi to represent their fighting spirit and their desire to be strong. I also chose a majority of dog like pokemon to show inukashi's roll in no.6 as the "dog keeper" cubone was mainly chosen for inukashi since both of them have strong ties to their mothers who passed away.
rikiga
mankey, throh, gurdurr & hitmonlee
rikiga as a character in pokemon would be a reporter for a newspaper publishing company. he covers different scandals involving pokemon. he was formerly a trainer since it was something he wanted to be since he was young but he was never good at it. so he discarded his dreams and got his job at the publisher.
rikiga only has four pokemon because he is no longer a trainer. I chose all fighting type pokemon for him because I know for a fact he would only have them since he thought they would be strong and help him become the best trainer. he also thought having pokemon that looked big and tough would make him look like he was too.
since I'm not the best at writing or drawing I'm unable to produce my own fanfiction or fanart for this au but I still wanted to share my ideas so that is why I added this little section into my lovemail!!
