  1. Summary

    There is a world out there, where friendship is the greatest power of all.

    Where countless trainers have ascended the gauntlet of the Gym Challenge through sheer spunk. Where their companions are just as driven towards battle as the humans they accompany. Where a humanity is but a part of their world, just as unremarkable in strength as it is vast in significance. Where the special bond between man and mon is what elevates the latter from beast to god.


    This is not that world.

    This world is one of strife, of humanity simultaneously in control over and in terror of their fellow beings. One where humanity merely sees itself as sacred, with a divinely-ordained destiny to rule from horizon to horizon. One where Pokéballs are the chains that bind and not the bonds that link. One where the power balance is as precarious between nations and the League as it is between humanity and Pokémon.

    One where, despite it all, hope still burns bright.

    Summary

    Red has fought gangsters, gym leaders, and even a legendary or two, but he's never met a trainer with two heads.
    Rumors said he was a cheat and a creep, and he certainly looked the part.
    Whatever he was, Red was going to beat him... but not before discovering the truth.

    Summary

    Anne was just an ordinary girl amongst many others, living a far from enviable life. There was nothing remarkable about her, nothing worth more than a passing glimpse and moving forward without a second thought. Pitiful, for sure, but in a world like this, her existence was an imperceptible speck by those with the power to help.

    And all it took was a split-second decision during a particular night to change Anne's predestined path in exchange for... something better perhaps? Unlikely, but Only time will tell...

    Summary

    A mysterious human and Umbreon show up at the village and start asking questions.

    An official crossover between From the Vast by Redspah and my own fic, What Measure is a Non-Human?, of dubious canonicity to the former. Reading the latter is not necessary to understand this one.
