POKÉMON FANFIC:

LE CID: POKÉMON STYLE

Adapted from the opera Le Cid, by Jules Massenet with Libretto by Adolphe-Philippe D'Ennery, with characters of the Pokémon Anime by Satoshi Tajiri and Shigeru Yoshida.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the Pokémon characters or the opera by Jules Massenet.

SUMMARY: After Satoshi's return from his journeys in the Unova Region, he and his friends are taking part in a friendly get-together with their parents and some rivals at Hikari's hometown of Twinleaf. Suddenly, the confraternization is disrupted by Team Rocket, which time had come with yet another plan to capture Satoshi's Pikachu. However, an unexpected chain of events ends up with everyone being sucked by a time machine constructed by Team Rocket's boss Giovanni, which takes Satoshi and his friends, as well as Team Rocket, to the Kingdom of Castile in the epoch of the Reconquista. Stranded in a such a strange place, Satoshi and his friends meet Don Rodrigue de Vivar, the famed El Cid Campeador, and help him settle his relationship with his beloved Chimène and his fights with the Moors in name of King Alfonso VI of Castile.

(This adaptation follows the storyline of the presentation of the Opera Le Cid as performed in its 2011 performance at the Opera de Marseille, starring Roberto Alagna as Rodrigue and Bèatrice Uria-Monzon as Chìmene)
