In the faraway nation of Ransei, 17 regions decorate the land, one for each type; Dragon, Ice, Steel and Flying in the north, Psychic, Ground, Rock, Fairy and Fighting in the center, Poison, Ghost and Dark in the east, and Bug, Water, Fire, Grass and Electric in the west. Each kingdom is separated by tall mountains, winding rivers, or lush forests. It was a beautiful country, which was ruled by the great Azai Nagamasa. But the years after his death, the nation crumbled. It plunged into a civil war, and the country split. The new independent nations had a truce, but now, the truce has been broken by three of the countries. And now that the chaos is back, one person will unleash a reign of terror upon the land...
Ghōlasia Town - Kingdom of Spectra - December 2, 2023 - 7:30 AM
Ghōlasia. The easternmost region of Spectra. The Spectran flag, a black cloth with a diagonal indigo cross, stood proudly in the brightness of the day. It is known for the serenity and tranquility of the area, the only town in the north that was unaffected by any war...
Until today.
"We're being attacked!" a villager exclaimed as the quaint village got blasted little by little. A little girl was crying as her mom got incinerated by the blasts. The local cemetery and all the different Pokémon living in it were roasted by the hot flames of several unknown Pokémon.
Dagōla City - Kingdom of Spectra - December 2, 2023 - 9:00 AM
"Lady No, we're being attacked!" Okuni, a young, beautiful and cute blue-haired woman exclaimed to her queen, her Banette sitting on her beautiful red parasol.
"Who's attacking us?" Nō Himei, a beautiful maroon-haired woman with a beautiful figure, asked. She was the Queen of Spectra, thus had the obligation to defend her country. Her Drifloon was floating behind her.
"The sources say Dragnor, because their flag sits atop Ghōlasia and Espiritu as we speak," Okuni replied.
"Oda's nation?! Why would he do such a thing?" Nō exclaimed, shocked. Oda Nobunaga, the King of Dragnor (a kingdom right beside them), wouldn't even hurt a Yanma. Now, the closely related Dragnorian flag with eigengrau cloth and a periwinkle cross sits atop majority of Spectra. "Well, we have to defend against them. Send in all our warriors," she said with a sigh.
"But all of them are out on mercenary or diplomacy missions," Okuni retorted. "We're the only warriors left in Spectra."
"Okay," Nō declared, deciding on what to do. "I want you to evacuate the civillians and send them to Viperia and Valora. After that, join me in Ghōlasia."
"Yes, my lady," Okuni bowed, and ordered some soldiers to start the evacuation. The soldiers left as quickly as they can, and Okuni soon followed. But no sooner than when Okuni left the throne room did a Dragon Pulse struck the room. Okuni screamed as the attack pulverized her and her Banette to bits.
"OKUNI!" Nō exclaimed in grief.
"Ha... haha... HAHAHAHA!" came a deranged laugh that could've only come from one evil person.
Drifloon tried to stop the Dragnorian Warlord, but also suffered the same fate as the Garchomp that killed Okuni fired a Dragon Breath at its direction.
"DRIFLOON!" Nō cried as she saw her beloved Pokémon die. She tried running away, but she tripped and fell as she stood up from her throne.
'Nobunaga Oda... no..." Nō whispered in fear as the deranged man prepared to order his Pokémon to launch its attack.
A/N: Welcome to this story's rewrite! Just FYI, this is an AU where No never fell in love with Nobunaga, where the anime characters are in Ransei, etc. Speaking of which, let's continue on with the show!
Theme song: I Wanna be a Hero (remastered)
A kid that started from nothing,
With a brand new world to see.
There's so much ahead, that it might get the best of you and me.
But I will stay brave and strong,
For battles that will be won.
I could advance all I want,
But still, there's always more to come.
So, I'll take a step and be on my way,
I'll pick my sword and I'll take my stand!
I wanna be a hero! (Yes, I'm gonna be a hero!)
Let us go, advance! (I'm on my way, wait for me!)
I wanna be a hero! (Yeah, hero!)
Gimme just one chance!
And the future will decide, (it will decide)
If there's a hero buried deep inside! (Deep inside!)
I wanna be a hero!
Pokémon!
Pokémon Ransei Conquest
Episode 1: The Delicate Balance of Peace
Firelit Town - Ignese Empire - December 3, 2023 - 6:30 AM
Meanwhile, as the sun rises in this small empire in the far south, a protest is being held place.
"Independence to Aurora! Free our land!" Several voices shouted as the Auroran flag, an apricot banner with scarlet, cerulean, and viridian stripes, was flewn.
"Let Aurora free!" a young, beautiful Warrior with ocean-blue hair exclaimes, using her angelic-white hand to wave the Auroran flag as high as she can. Her Eevee sat on top of her head, also shouting its cute protests.
"Hikari, I think it needs to be raised a little higher," another beautiful Warrior with pink hair remarked as she cuddled her Jigglypuff.
"I'm raising it as high as I can, Oichi!" Hikari complained. She then gripped the flagpole at its tip, raising the flag even higher. "This okay?"
"Yep!" Oichi agreed, then continued shouting. "Down to Ignis! Long live Aurora!"
Suddenly, soldiers and three Warriors came marching from the capital of Ignis, Flichant.
"Stop your advancement at once!" Takeshi, a tan, brunette Warrior with a Lotad on his head said, proudly carrying the orange flag of Ignis and its golden fire emblem (like the Volcano Badge) behind him.
"I'm bored, hurry up and surrender before I sleep," Hanbei, a brown-haired Warrior that always wears a yellow hat, complained childishly. His Pikachu lazily agreed.
Takeshi hit him on the back for his stupidity. "Do you even think they would even THINK of surrender?" he sighed exasperatingly.
"Look, if you really want to stop us, battle us!" Mitsunari, a red-haired man wearing an oversized white vakul retorted. "If you win, we won't protest anymore for a year. If we win, Aurora will declare independence," he said.
"It's a deal," Haruka, a lady soldier and seemingly the general of the Ignese army, agreed, shaking Mitsunari's hand. "Let's battle in the Temple of Eve," she added while petting her Combusken.
The six (twelve, if you include Pokémon) went to the Temple.
"Let's stick together," Hikari suggested. "If we're together, they can't attack us one by one." And they did just that.
Takeshi was the first one to come, him and his Lotad ever slowly scouting ahead. Mitsunari ordered to Scyther a Fury Cutter that instantly knocked it out. Hikari noticed a head by the side, so she and Eevee decided to check it out.
"Uh oh..." Hanbei whispered as the young warrior was discovered. "Pikachu, Thunderbolt!"
"Not so fast! Eevee, Quick Attack!" Hikari exclaimed. Eevee tackled Pikachu quickly before the said Pokémon shocked both of them.
"Again!" both exclaimed. The battle kept going.. and going... and going... and going...
Meanwhile, Haruka was battling Oichi, Haruka's Combusken against Oichi's Jigglypuff. Mitsunari put up a good fight, but eventually lost due to type effectiveness. He was currently watching the show.
"Finish it with DoubleSlap!" Oichi exclaimed with joy, since Combusken looked worn out. She was true; the first slap and Combusken was defeated.
At the other end, the battle between Hikari and Hanbei kept on going back and forth... and back and forth... and back and forth... until...
"No! Pikachu!" Hanbei exclaimed as Eevee defeated Pikachu. "You win..." he sighed grudgingly, then went off.
"Yay! Aurora is free!" Hikari exclaimed so loudly, it was heard all the way to Dragnor. Literally, Ranmaru flinched as he heard the sound.
"You win," Haruka sighed, returning to Ignis, as said in a Warrior's code of honor.
"Phew," Mitsunari wiped the sweat off his brow.
Baesykke Town - Auroran Coordinate - December 4, 2023 - 7:20 AM
One day after the incident, we find our heroes in the inaguration of the first Coordinator of the Auroran Coordinate, Hikari Tajiri. The Prime Minister went to a person called Ureshi Suzuki.
"Congrats, Hikari!" Oichi smiled.
"Thanks," Hikari replied happily.
"Humph, I should've been the one," Mitsunari sneered.
"Ha ha, no one will pick you," Oichi joked.
"But why does Ignis want to keep us? And why does that nation have plans to attack Pugilis?" Hikari suddenly asked.
"You didn't know?" Oichi exclaimed in surprise, carrying her Jigglypuff. When she got a no for an answer, she explained. "There is a legend that if someone is successful in uniting the entire Ransei, then the holy being that created Ransei will appear and fulfill that person's wish. It already happened to Azai, who wished for the perfect government: Coordinatism. Maybe that's why Ignis wanted to keep us: Ignis' Warlord wanted something to be fulfilled."
"Oh," Hikari replied. "Well, I think we should try uniting Ransei."
"WHAT?!" Oichi and Mitsunari exclaimed in disbelief.
"We just got independent, and you will go to war?!" Mitsunari exclaimed.
"Why?" Oichi asked.
"Well, so that no one will have to battle anymore, and the world will be at peace," Hikari explained. "That's my wish."
The two thought for a moment, then decided.
"I'm in," Oichi said. "Me and Jigglypuff are with you all the way."
"It seems pathetic, but..." Mitsunari thought aloud, "awesome! Count me in too. So where do we start?"
Hikari laughed. "Isn't it obvious? Ignis!"
...
"I'm starting to reconsider what I said..." Mitsunari sighed.
A/N: First chapter of the rewrite finished! Oh, and before you asked, the 'coordinate' is a federal-like government, except the 'Coordinator' holds the executive, judiciary, and military aspects of the government, thus is a kinda-good government for innocent/uncorrupted countries, like Aurora, Greenleaf, and Fontaine. For countries like Dragnor, however... Anyway, please review, and non-constructive flames will be used to burn Ignis. (Useless, right?)
