Synopsis : pre-canon story focussing on a female OC coming into her power and recruiting her peerage in a time where "evil piece" are still mostly unknown and the cold war between the supernatural factions is on the verge of degenerating.
Also, one of my story that should be a bit more "plot" focused than plot ^^.

---

To be a devil is to suffer from an obsession. It took me some time to come to that conclusion, and yet as I look around me and think about it, never did it seems as obvious as it is to me now. Humanity like to ascribe differents qualification upon us, to them we are being of sins, damned as soon as we are born, and for a time I even thought that to be true, when without thinking I accepted the propaganda that was pushed down our throat as a simple description of reality, and not as the result of interested parties looking to insure our obédience.
But now, now that I have finally awakened the full breadth of my abilities, my sight show me the truth of our world.

There is a misunderstanding amongst the unintiated that demonic magic is akin to faith miracles, allowing one to do as they please as long as they have both imagination and power. Truthfully, imagination only allow one to control their inhérent abilities, wich by their very nature are instinctive and thus does not require their users to understand them.
Thankfully, this is one point in wich I am rather "blessed", as ironic as it to say for me as a devil.
Often times, the interbreeding between the pillars family insured the awakening of random mutation over our clan traits. One only need to look at the current Gremory and Sitri Family to see the truth of my words. One, is now made of Bael in but names while the other managed to acquire the Leviathan control other waters at the expanse of their original séduction abilities.

My name is Octavia Goetia, once bastard daughter of the lord Stolas and now legitimate granddaughter of Lord Paimon Goetia as of this morning.
Traditionnally, us Goetia have worked as the liaison of Lucifer and his ambassador. Thus, it is no surprise when one think about it that out of all the Pillars family, ours is the one whose gift has shown the most evolution over times and generations.
Lord Paimon was the first devil in recorded history to have awakened two different clan power, having inherited alongside the Goetia affinity towards ritual and divination the Buer clan power of control over all flora. An ability that insured his rise to proeminence over his sibling, an ability that I also inherited, if in a far lesser form, in addition to the Stolas clan power over gravity, marking one our lines - that is to say me - as having once again been the first to awaken multiple clan power, no less than three this times.

Now, as I gase into the future, I wonder what shall happen to me. In no less than three years, at the most, my grandfather shall meet his demise at the hands of our Satans as a result of his dealings with the old Satans faction during the civil war. In no less than three years, I shall become a duke of hell. In no less than three years, the secrets of the evil pieces will be shared with me and I shall be asked to steal the gifted children of our adversary. In no less than three years, I shall need to rise to my destiny, or fall to it.

Haha! The ol' summary-chapter switcheroo! Comedy classic

 

[Gerdan]

I was fourteen when Lord Paimon found me and asked me to come into his house.
Naturally, as a young devil who did not even know of my heritage, I didn't even thought about doing anything but following him. So it is that I accepted his demand and thus, sealed my future.

The following months were ... unique ; strangely, I did not feel homesick, a bit lost at times certainly but I adapted quite fast in spite of the most absurd schedule I ever had to live through, or perhaps thanks to it.
In those days, my life could be summarized as follow : awoken at dawn, I spent the following morning learning countless lessons that were deemed usefull for me. At lunch Lord Paimon would found me and question me on my studies while we were eating, after wich I would have to dedicate my afternoon to magic, learning it either through indépendant studies or with the help of a teacher, including my lord grandfather a few times. Before going back to my room, extenuated, with not a single thought in my head outside of getting some sleep. Then, I arised once more, repeated all over again my actions from the previous days. Again, and again, and again ...

By the time I was fifteen I had learned all that was expected from a young heir of my age, be it the history of the Underworld, the laws of our species, few as they were, the way that one should interact with peers, lessers or superiors ...

And so it was that on my birthday Lord Paimon took me aside and taught me the truth behind my adoption.

---

"Octavia," he told me "have you ever wondered why is it that amongst all of my descendance, you are the one I took into my home ?"

"I thought it was because of the variéty of clan powers I inherited, wasn't it ?" I asked.

"A common belief amongst our clan, and one that I tried to disseminate as much as I could," admitted Paimon. "But no, in truth inheritance matter far less than one might. As it stand, next to the Satan I amount to nothing in spite of my clans powers. And I'm sure you know that your uncle is far greater than you from that point of view, and that was already the case back when he was your age. Let alone now, when taking into account the centuries of experience he has on you." For a moment he seemed to think about what he was going to say to me, eyes clouded as his sights looked upon some distant realms in what I now recognize as a sign of our divination ability being used.

"I already told you before that the main reason behind our family succes, the one reason behind why we managed to rise above all challenge we encountered is our innate ability to divine the future. At the end of the civil war, when I capitulated in front of Ajuka mysteries, I saw my death. I knew then, that I would die in the following decades, sooner or later the new Satans would start to clean houses, and all previous lords would meet their ends. And so it is that I started to prepare my succession and went looking for an heir who would be able to lead our family toward succes. Now come, follow me and let me reveal to you the criteria that ended up being the reason I selected you, let me show you my Magnum Opus."

"Here," he said quietly "is one of the two hidden vault of our family. It is here that I hide my greatest works, weapons that Lord Lucifer asked me to build back in the great war. Weapons that would never see the light of the day, for, by the time I had built them, our Lord was dead and had I tried to use them all would have come for my head."

"That's ... if such secrets lies behind in this cellar, secrets who are hidden behind so many wards, why make another hidden vault ?" I was astonished at that point, never did I imagine that there could be such a secret in our family and so I ended blurting the first thing that came to my mind.

"The second vault, hold the previous heir work, my elder brother who died at Ajuka hands during the civil war. You need not concern with it, even I cannot access it. Nor in true, do I even know where it is hidden. That's is something you will need to find by yourself, once you have come into your own powers." He sighed, before opening the door and inviting me inside.

"You know, like all of the Underworld, that I inherited the Buer family control over plant and rise as an Ultimate-Class Devil thanks to it. What none other know however, is that thanks to our family talents in ritual, I managed to create fruits able to influence one innate potential. Now, admire my Devil Fruits" he exclaimed, pride breathing from every part of him.

In front of me, each put on his own pedestrals, I could see dozens upon dozens of unnatural fruits.

Spoiler: Devil Fruits

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/nv70SfWOYEQ/sddefault.jpg

"Here, is the true motive behind your legetimation. Fruits, wich once eaten awake unique powers in their users. Each of them was made by harvesting captured opponents, from other devils to mythical creature from all over the world. Power, once thought unique to those individuals are now available to any devil who shall eat one of those fruits. And all of my divination showed me that only you could escape the retaliation from using them. Only you will be able to exalt them to their full potential. Only you will find worthy subordinate, leal subordinate upon wich you will gift our fruits and throught their strenght, our family shall arise from cindered potential to a blazing power that will hold the whole Underworld in his grasp."

---

And so it was, that I learned the plans of my forefather. According to him, the new Satan would wait until my seventeen birthday before offing him in order to insure the stability of my own rise to command and so that none amongst my family would try to otherthrow me, ousting me out of power to seize my reign.

Octavia Goetia - DxD OC, Devil Fruits AU :
pre-canon story whose protagonist is a female OC coming into her power and recruiting her peerage in a time where "evil piece" are still mostly unknown and the cold war between the supernatural factions is on the verge of degenerating.
Also, one of my story that should be a bit more "plot" focused than plot ^^ (ie : long term plan include a reverse harem and my first try to writing smut).

---

Behold, the Abyss - One Piece AU, Nami centric :
In this alternate Universe, Monkey D. Dragon managed to get his hand on the mythical zoan model Nika and ate it. As a result, his revolution was taken far more seriously by the world governement who feared how far he could go should he manage to fully awoke his devil fruits.
This one change had a lot of far reaching consequences : because of the more intensive track from the world governement, Dragon had far less free time to relax and thus Monkey D. Luffy was never born.
Moreover, In order to improve their military might all across the world, the Marines decided to invest far more heavily in zoan fruits rather than in a few extremely expensive logia (resulting in another difference : the admiral are not the same and/or have different powers).
-> Another unexpected conséquence of this decision is that Vegapunk work on cloning devil fruits will show far more success thank to the higher number of available subject and the innate spirits inside those zoan.
-> will result in the death of Kaido and his crew as the Marines go after their devil fruits. -> the cost of that action being their total lose of control over the New Worlds due to the lose they incurred during this war.
So, that's the background : on the story however, we should focus on Nami who need to deal with Arlong and corrupt Marines without the help of Luffy. She could in time recruit her own crew in order to do so, in wich case the following canon character could potentially end up in it : Zorro, Kuina, Ace, Sabo and Smoker. Even if she does not recruit them, they should be a few cameo with them.

Aquila Favonia - Danmachi AU, Goddess OC :
In a world where countless god descend upon earth/genkkai to play with mortals and admire their lives, there is one goddess who wish to do more, who wish to be more than a simple patreon. She intend to become to become a bulmark of civilization -> descending in the ash of Ares wars, Aquila Faviona is the goddess incarnation of the roman flag, with dominion over Conquest, Victory and to a lesser extent eagles, strategy and roads. She will take every single commoners around her, and with their help build the greatest country in the world.

---

Pokemon, an Age of Strife - Wuxia AU :
The Jade Emperor has fallen, and there is no heir in sight. Across each region of the Nippon Empire various clan try to take the throne for themselves while in the distant colony of Unys, rebellion is afoot. It is in those day that a young boy try to path his way and escape conscription alongside an Ice vulpix, lone survivor of the Fairy Genocide mandated by the previous governement.

 

[Gerdan]

You open your eyes with a lurches, and you are not in your bed. You stand above a body, wich is in a state of gore nearly beyond recognition. The body of that brave girl, who earnestly swore to devote her life to your cause. Her blood covers you, and it's warmth feels like the embrace of an old friend. You recall nothing of how you ended up here, but your head pounds and aches.

---

Oh god, oh god, Oh GOD!!

How could this be ?! Yestarday I was home, in my bed, all was fine ; and now, now ... oh god, oh god.

What, what happened ?

---

A single moments come to you as you try to remember something, anything. The flash of abject terror in her eyes. Blood spilling from her lips. No time for last words. They are dozens and dozens of wounds on the corpse. The killer did not stop savaging it, even when she was long gone. And your dominant arms aches. It aches from stabbing. Over and over. No matter how it appears, the body is there, and her blood is on your hands.

Your misdeed is bright and clear as the dawning day.

---

A sudden onset of nausea came to me as I realized what I did. I retched, again and again, feeling vomit climb up my throat as I tried desperatly to calm myself, putting an hand on the wall to hold me up.

Breath, I need to breath, I need to breath !

Inspire, expire.

Inspire, expire.

No matter what. I must. Keep calm.

Inhale and expire.
Just, like, that. Keep cool, and don't forget : inspire, expire.

Alright, alright.
So.
This happened.

But why ?

---

The question flows from your mind : who are you, really, that you could be guilty from such bitter business ? If you could craft a corpse like this in one night, what masterpieces could you scult with just a tiny, little bit more time ?

---

No, no !!

That's not me, I'm not some kind of psychopath that delight in carving bodies.
I'm sane, I'm a work of art and my name is ... Isha ?

No, no : that's not my name, I'm human, male (NoT AnYmoRe), and I have a name ; a normal, basic, common name !?

But what is it ?!

I knew it, right ... right ?

I mean, I must know it, I should know it ... shouldn't I ?

---

Something revolts in your churning blood, why hide what you are ? You long to expose yourself.

---

Concurrent memories start to arise in my mind as my nausea slowly recede. Gradually, I stop fidgeting as my body came back under my control.

Focusing on every single one of my sense in order to center myself and keep calm : I could feel my cold sweat descend along my spine, bit by bit. My hands, on the rugged wall. My feet on the splintered floor. My breath in air. The iron taste of blood on my tongue. And in my noze ...

An uneasy feelings linger in the air.

I can still smell the goar of that woman. What a fair perfume.

Inhale ... Exhale ...

And as I start to analyse my memories, I feel myself ceding control over my body which start to act on autopilot ( Or iS It ?).

---

You don't have much time for reflection now, you need to act. You may have only a few moments before the others awaken, and begin to cast blame for the hot sin before you.

You scrub yourself until your hands are cold and raw. While your body starts to feel clean, the blood doesn't seem to leave. There is no magic binding blood to your body, only guilt.
You shake your head, and it seems to go away, only then.

If you are fortunate, no souls will be able to know you were behind this murder.

You wonder if your misdeed will be noticed.

---

Of course it will be noticed !

What kind of fucking thought is that !

I mean, what did I expect that people will come, see the body on floor, the blood everywhere and then be like : "hello darling, nice to meet you. Oh and please, don't forget to clean after yourself. Bye-bye, pleasant day to you."

Unless ... that's not even my own thought. Holy shit, those are not my thoughts : wich means that I have multiple line of thoughts in my head ; that's the trademark definition of insanity, isn't it ?

Or schizophrenia I guess.

Or ... perhaps it is a consequences of having the memories of two different lives in my head (No It IsN'T).

Leisurely, little by little, a shape of what happened start to form in your mind.

---

Once, I was a common child living on earth, unknown to pain or hunger.

Once, I was an urchin living in the streets, always looking for another meal, farmished and cold ... oh, so cold !

As I grew, I discovered new games, played with my friends and went to school.

As I grew, I became better, stronger, faster than every other child and for a times I basked in their adorations as my abilities as a thief thrived beyond all expectations.

Then, as I went abroad to expand my studies, I discovered a new game : Baldur's Gate 3. Greater than any other I played before.

Then, as puberty came to me, my body started to evolve in unnatural ways, like a chimera I became an amalgam of monstruous features. Soon, I was hung like a minotaur. Scales grew on me like rainbow. Wounds healed so fast that one could barely see them. My chest grew from it's previous flatboard nature, catching more eyes wherever I went than the prettiest whore ever could.

And as I played new game over and over, I discovered the joy of mods. Some I took from the internet, and some I made myself.

And while my body went through more and more change, it ended up catching the wicked eyes of one degenerate noble.

With my own hands, I made what I would humbly call "the greatest mods of all times". One, centered around the dark urge, turning him from a common adventure with an interesting gimmicks and story, into a true demigod of old, a work of art like none other.

With his own hands, he caught me, raped me, and tortured me for his sick pleasure. And once he grew bored with me, he sold me to a brothel where my freakish body would be used by all kind of depraved pervert.

Until I finished my work and had to give it a name. In honor of the summerian goddess Ishtar, I choose to name my creation Isha.

Until one kind girl amongst my brethren took pity on me and tried to help me as much as she could. Till one late night, when, as she was cleaning me, I Isha, Awokened.

And the rest, became a blur.

---

My body barely complies as I try to center myself.

(You fEel sUch RuSHes frOm Your tHoUGhts oF YoUr deAd FrieNd )

Why did she die ? The mystery gnaw at your pounding heart.

---

Tonight, you can't chase the thoughts of that poor girl you killed from your head. You wonder what she looked like as she died. Squirming, skewered, in abject, delicious agony.

And could I get a bit more details about what this entails ? And why was I chosen exactly ?

Your soul, like every other champion, was selected due to it's tasteless nature. In life, you were an utterly bland man. In death, you had absolutely no karma, either for or against you. As such, you were selected amongst your peer in order to insure a fair and upright solution to E̷̢͙͕̐͗͆̈́̆̄̆̋l̸̬̹̠̩̄̀d̷̙̫̹̳͍̠͗̋͒̿̈́̀͂͝͝͠͠r̸̢̢̡̪̰̱͖̞̳̼̝̺̾̈̑͘ͅȉ̷͇̯͖͓̭͍̌͋͛̿t̸̹̫͕̉c̸̛̜̝̼͍̘̱̣͋̉͘͠͝ḩ̸̨͚̱̗͉͕̹̘̼̼͂̇̿͘ͅ ̵̨̨͓̣̓Ć̸̢̪̗͔͓̱̱̭̔͊̂͐̓̈͂͑̋̌͝ͅo̵̢̢͕̬͙͉͑͂̅͠ű̸̡͉̻̞̬̭̝̫͖̫̳̜ṋ̷̢̏̾̃̓̊c̸̲̰̝̮̖̯̰̪̫͖̉̎i̸̢̞̗̺̠͓̊l̵͍̮͓̫̖͇̈́̀̐͊͜ feud, standing in as Ḁ̸̛͊͛͐ṫ̴̺̮̯͙̥͖͓͛̚u̴̯̙̤̩̪͇̠͑̋̃͆͒̋h̴̪̣͇̠̗͉̼̣̽̒̀̃̋͊͘ͅͅL̵̡̙̩̉͒̽ȇ̵̗̏̑͋̔̎̕͝d̵̢̢͍̠̜͙̠͆̑̍́̆̌́͋̌̕r̸̨͖̀̀i̸̧̟͇͙̫͓̜̤̐͆̈́̃͜ͅt̵̳̦̑͘ representative, as I said previously.

(っ˘ڡ˘ς)​

Riiight ... well, thanks for that compliment. And, about my first question : what is this feud I'm supposed to fight for exactly ? In fact, what are you exactly ? And why is it that you're the only one with me here ?

Why, I'm your "Template System" of course, and the solution to your quandary.

( ˇ෴ˇ )

In accordance with the final edict pronounced by ■̴̳̊͘"̶̥̌͠■̵̰̅͝"̸̛͔■̶͎̿̈"̷̙̫͗■̷̧͠"̴̞͂ , I am to grant you an interface through wich you will be able to lead your sponsor mane to victory.

(-‿◦^)​

"Mane" ?? As in, the hair ? Don't you mean name instead ?

Sorry to interrupt you, it's just ... I'm still completely lost. Could you start from the beginning and explain what this "feud" is about ?

Of course ^^, I'm your Template System after all, that's what I'm here for. The feud, is the result of an difference in opinion on what hair color is the best according to each members of the E̷̢͙͕̐͗͆̈́̆̄̆̋l̸̬̹̠̩̄̀d̷̙̫̹̳͍̠͗̋͒̿̈́̀͂͝͝͠͠r̸̢̢̡̪̰̱͖̞̳̼̝̺̾̈̑͘ͅȉ̷͇̯͖͓̭͍̌͋͛̿t̸̹̫͕̉c̸̛̜̝̼͍̘̱̣͋̉͘͠͝ḩ̸̨͚̱̗͉͕̹̘̼̼͂̇̿͘ͅ ̵̨̨͓̣̓Ć̸̢̪̗͔͓̱̱̭̔͊̂͐̓̈͂͑̋̌͝ͅo̵̢̢͕̬͙͉͑͂̅͠ű̸̡͉̻̞̬̭̝̫͖̫̳̜ṋ̷̢̏̾̃̓̊c̸̲̰̝̮̖̯̰̪̫͖̉̎i̸̢̞̗̺̠͓̊l̵͍̮͓̫̖͇̈́̀̐͊͜

Your sponsor, in particular proned that redheads were superior to all other kind of hair-color. Wich is why I'm your Template System, variant Redheads #007.
The best one of all the template system, if you'd allow me some rightfull and well-earned praise ^^.

(˵¯͒〰¯͒˵)​

What a stupid reason to start a conflict ... And how exactly are you supposed to judge that ?

In any case, if you're variant #007, does that means that there's at least 6 other "Template System" ? And again, what are you exactly ? Some kind of Gamer System akin to the one in Solo Leveling ?

Oh no, as I said before all precautions were taken in order to insure a fair and upright competition between every champions. Accordingly, you have all been granted an "Template System, variant #007". The only difference being of course the restrictions on our access to the Akashics Records, as we are to departage precisely wich one of them is the finest.

꜀( ˊ̠˂˃ˋ̠ )꜆

On the matter of our natures, while some analogy can be drawn between our nature and those "Gamer System", we Template System are a far more refined System version than those prototype. Instead of implementing basic and restrictive class such as Warrior, Mage or Rogue ; us systems will now allow you access to far more elaborate and versatile "archetype" based upon templates of individuals inside the Akashics Records.

(ᗒᗣᗕ)

Now, on the nature of your competition and how you are going to be judged : Each Champions must select three archetype, in accordance to their own restrictions of course. Once this is done, you will be sent to an alternate mythological universe, variant #04739 to be more precise, where you shall reincarnate and live your life. At the end of it, you life shall be judged in comparison to every other champion. Depending of your results and in order to incentivize you to act at the best of your abilities, your sponsor may then decide to award you a gift or sentence you to eternal damnation.

Good luck ⊹⋛⋋( ՞ਊ ՞)⋌⋚⊹​

Wait, wait, wait. What do you mean "incentivize" !!!

I can assure you that I'm already well motivated by this gift of a second life, no need for such things, please ?!

Sadly, it is not amongst your favorite system abilities to change this contest rules.

( ؕؔʘ̥̥̥̥ ه ؔؕʘ̥̥̥̥ )

You do however have access to your Redheads archetypes to deal with your tasks.

(ง'̀-'́)ง​

I see ... well, I guess there is no point in arguing with some eldritch omnipotent being.

So, considering the importance of my decisions here, I better not make any wrong choice. I understand that I'm meant to select three redhead archetypes to help me reach victory in that contest, but what do those archetype do exactly ?

Once you are reincarnated, you will be able to select at will one of your archetype. Once this is done, and until you change to another archetype, you will then slowly gain that archetype abilities over time - excepting those resulting of a specific equipment or soul - as your body morph in order to adapt itself to your new nature. If, at any point, you decide to take another archetype, then your current improvement in your previous archetype will be put on standby in favor of your new one, but you will keep all abilities already unlocked. Moreover, once you mastered one template you will then be able to select a new template of your choice inside the Akashics Records.​

Wait,wait,wait ... Hold on for a moment will you : what do you mean exactly by morph ? Is that some kind of Changer ability where I can temporarily take on the form of my archetype to ennact it's ability ?

Of course not, this is no impermanent change thankfully. I meant what I said, your body will morph in your selected templates in order to adapt itself to it and meet the minimal requirement they require.

Considering your absolute uselessness, this means that your first template, whichever it may be, will lead to an almost 100% reshaping of yourself to this match. Further template may lead to lesser alteration as your body will already be improved, as such any alteration would happen on a case-by-case basis where you would keep only the best part of each template.​

So, in the event where I would took on a female template, what would happen exactly ?

Why, you would take on the best of both world naturally. In other words, you would become an Hermaphrodite.

ლ(́◉◞౪◟◉‵ლ)​

Motherfucker ... as thought it wasn't enough that "Bleach" and "Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic" are already useless as templates, about three fourth of the best template are now unacceptable for me.

I mean, even if you refuse to take on a female template, you still have access to any Universe template. The only difference would be that souls-specific ability like a Zanpakuto would be a reflection of yourself instead of your archetype.​

Perhaps, but I'm not a gambler and I don't intend to take an ability whose benefits are unknown to me. Beside I made my decision, please select the following templates : Agakami no Shanks from One Piece, Uzumaki Nagato from Naruto and Sirzech Lucifer from highschool DxD.

Are you sure ?​

Completely, with those three templates I essentialy have overpowered variant of the warrior, rogue and mage class. Wich should insure I have an answer to any kind of problems I may encounter.

Well then, prepare for reincarnation. ​

Notice : "One small step for man, one giant leap for Godkind" (title pending) is technically a far more elaborate idea than I had for some time about an original word, and not just a fanfiction. Although, I did put DxD AU as an indication of the kind of world it will be -> and we should see some expy (such as Sirzech) lending it a dubitative title as "fanfic". In reality it should include some inspiration from all over : DxD, Danmachi, Campione, Percy Jackson ... you get the idea I think.
No matter how I go about things in the future, you can be sure that it will follow an original storyline drastically different from the canon story centered around Kuoh and so ...

PS : Also, did you know that Siegfried is actually a Germanic hero and as such almost always represented as an Aryan warrior (blond hair and blue eyes) ? I don't know why, but I had this image of him as a redhaired viking before I looked him up for this fic.

Pps : I was informed that the tier system wasn't very clear on what it represented. As I imagine it each Tier would go as follow, or thereabouts :

_ Tier 0 : up to peak human, with at most a unique gimmicks/magic
_ Tier 1 : Clearly above human peak, up to lower rank servant (from Nasuverse)
_ Tier 2 : Strength akin to the strongest heroic spirit.
_ Tier 3 : Country-destroying threat & lesser gods or godkillers.
_ Tier 4 : Major gods.
_ Tier 5 : Conceptual threats (i.e : Ophis / Great Red level of strenght).
_ Tier 6 : Universal entities (Daedra and Aedra from the elder scrolls or the Valar from Lord of the Rings).

Honestly, anything above tier 4 is purely theorical. And I don't even expect this story MC to go above tier 3 at any point. Also, I think it was clear with the description and examples available, but just in case : Tier are not a ranking of who would win in a fights or is the most destructive but more an indication of the sum of one's abilities/powers.

How incredible !!!

Against all prognostic, Lance Blackthorn managed an impressive win against Elite Four Pryce in spite of his ice weakness !!! Remind me Violet, how lopsided were the odds on his victory ?

About 6 to 1, at least when I last looked Sir.

Well then, I suspect that some people are going to be extremely happy tonight. To our new listener, or just those who missed our program, I'll remind you of our special show tonight from 22:00 to midnight, well named "On the most secure and intelligent way to spent your well earned pokedollars". Now, I can see that you're all trembling from impatience so, without further ado I present to you our beloved Aurelia, elected no less than three years in a row as the best expert in pokemon battle analysis. Tell us, what do you think of Lance fight against Pryce and of his chance against our champion ?

Well, the first thing that one should take into account is that ...

With a snap, the tv turned off as an old weather-beaten crone rised up from a sofa. She croaked "Quite an impressive show lad, quite an impressive show. I expect that this duel will be shown to our youngster as a marvelous example on how to manage our inherent weakness through battlefield domination. But did you keep any hidden ace in order to deal against the champion ?"

On the other side of the room, Lance looked up from his notes before answering "Of course, although I hope you'll forgive me for keeping those hidden ace, well : 'hidden' Grandmother".

"Really, not even for your favorite grandmother, the one who taught you how to take care of your pokemon, who was there for you since day one and gave you your drac-"

"Alright, alright, I get the idea. No need to go on and on about everything you ever did for me. If you must know, there is one surprise I intended to keep quiet until the day of my challenge, I got a new pokemon who is strong enough to join my main team. And not only that, but he is actually just as good my starter or almost so."

"Really ? Well, bravo to you then ; wich one is it ? Did one of your dragonair evolve, or your seadra perhaps ?"

"Neither of my dragonair evolved, and while my seadra did turn into a Kingdra he sadly lack the experience required for me to consider him as an ace in the hole against the champion. No, it's another pokemon, one that I've yet to show you. Do you remember two year ago, when I decided to remain one more year into Hoenn that what I intended when I left, rather than coming back to challenge the elite four as soon as possible ?"

"Well yes, but I thought it was because you were trying to found some mega evolution stones after the revelation that charizard could mega-evolve into a dragon."

"Well, while this discovery did play a role in my decision, it was not the main reason behind my action. Mostly, I stayed there at behest of my newest pokemon family who wanted to insure my capabilities when it come to raising their child, before allowing me to come back home."

"You're starting to annoy me Lance, get on with it and stop all of this non-sensical suspense. Which pokemon did you managed to get, a Metagross or something of that nature ?"

"Back then, I found a Larvitar."

"Oh, in that case your ace is -"

"Yeah, it's a Tyranitar. My Tyranitar."

Top of the hour, and we're discussing a certain Legend who has been spotted cavorting around town. Coming back from a five-year absence after winning the Indigo League in his first year. Once again, he broke all record by challenging and winning handily against each elite four at a seventeen. Nobody expected him anymore, and yet here we are with a new challenger for the title of champion.

Did anybody miss him?
Did anybody notice?
More on tonight's program ...

"So, a new upstart believe he can challenge and dethrone me so easily. Let him come and he shall meet his demise. Arise, Ryugy and show that pretender the might of a true Dragon".

Spoiler: Ryugi

"Champion Bruno I might be, but I once was Lord Kaido greastest of the four emperors of the seas. And it will take more than that to bring me down."

Plot outline overall :

First draft of a first draft in a way. I'm not very happy with this prologue, a bit too dialogue heavy for me, but I didn't really know what else to add. In any case, I decided to put it out rather than leaving it to dust. The basic idea is that Kaido from One Piece reincarnated in Pokemon as Elite Four Bruno, after his death via volcano express. And, like any true shounen protagonist, he naturally became the champion at the end of his journey.

So, I intend to write a full one shot showing his fight against Lance challenge in order to get used to writing Pokemon fights. And, if this is well received, I'll try to turn it into a full story akin to "Pokemon Trainer Vicky" (i.e : 100% shonen, but with none of the metaknowledge).

Respective team of Kaido and Lance in my head (as of now, susceptible to change in the later version)

Lance :
4 champion level pokemons : Dragonite (starter), Charizard, Gyarados and Tyranitar.
5 elite level pokemons : Dragonair & Dragonair, Kingdra, Libegon and Steelix.

Lance dream : to become champion and dethrone Bruno.

Bruno / Kaido SI :
7 champion level pokemon : Gyarados (starter), Ryugy (alternative dragonite evolution, mono dragon), Shiny male Lopunny (because real man wear Pink), Gyarados 2.0 (because he raised a whole flock of them), Alpha Onix, Machamp and Annihilape.
Lots of elite level pokemon : Flock of Gyarados, and more recent pokemon gifted/found after his rise to champion -> Garchomp, Infernape & Lucario from Sinnoh, Blaziken from Hoenn.

Bruno dream : to catch Rayquaza.
