Hello there everyone, this is Rider of Black 00 and I'm here with an idea for a new fic, and it will be the best fic I've wrote so far! It's gonna have Pokémon fangames, Yu-Gi-Oh and everyone's favourite crossdresser, Astolfo. However the main protagonist will be Roland from Fate/Grand Order, as he's Astolfo's cousin in that franchise.
As for the villains well I have a great idea on who the villainous faction will be; it's just that they'll remain a mystery until the second chapter. Anyway, what to look out for in this fic? Oh yeah, there will be plenty of lemons. Nice, tangy lemons for those of us who like Pokémon fangame characters/Roland. Honestly I'm surprised there hasn't been more lemons/erotic fan art involving Pokémon fangames but that could change in the future.
That seems to be it for the notes. Now let me kick start my newest fic Yu-Gi-Oh: The Divine Conspiracy.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters in this fic. They're the property of their respective creators.
Prologue: Card Games and Fan Games
Outskirts of Tokyo: Japan
Today was a most marvellous day for Astolfo; not only had he finished his deck, but his favourite cousin Roland was visiting him from England for a few weeks. The pinkette had spent a while fine tuning his Dark World deck, making sure it's as powerful as can be. Despite the deck's initial lack of Extra Deck monsters, Astolfo splashed in a couple of cards to fix that little problem. However, Roland didn't have a lot of powerful cards, with Astolfo promising him that he'd help with that.
Astolfo soon got dressed in his favourite casual attire, which consisted of a purple and white striped shirt, covered with a purple jacket. He also wore a black pleated skirt and matching leggings. The pinkette then proceeded to do up his long hair into a single braid at the back, picked up his deck and exited his room. The house Astolfo lived in was a simple, two-storey house on the outskirts of Japan that he shared with three other people; his best friend Chevalier D'eon, Chevalier's sweetheart, Blair, and Micaiah, the famous Maiden of Dawn and another friend of Astolfo. Sothe, a close friend of Micaiah was also living in the house to ensure nobody attempts to assassinate her, though whether he's her bodyguard, sibling or lover is a total mystery. Recently Astolfo and Micaiah had started dating one another, but they haven't made anything public yet.
Both Micaiah and Sothe were going over the cards that Astolfo gifted the former a few days ago. Micaiah was an extraordinarily beautiful young lady with long silver hair, bright golden eyes, and a slender figure. Her attire consisted of a crimson red, sleeveless dress that had side slits, black leggings, fingerless gloves that reached her elbows, a blue scarf and a pair of boots. There was a small bird resting on Micaiah's left shoulder named Yune, who was the Goddess of Chaos. Sothe was a fairly handsome man who had short green hair and yellow eyes. His outfit consisted of a green vest and black sleeveless undershirt that showed off his midriff, leather pants that were held up with a belt, a pair of boots and a long grey scarf. He was the first one to notice Astolfo rushing down the stairs.
"So you're awake…" Sothe commented, not averting his gaze from the cards.
"Can you blame me? My cousin's coming over today!" Astolfo beamed. "We're gonna have so much fun together, playing card games, hanging out like in the old days…"
"You seem rather fond of your cousin." Micaiah noted, a small smile on her face as she continued to study the cards. "I must say, these cards are rather interesting; there wasn't anything like this in Daein when I was growing up."
"I figured you'd like that Prophecy/Spellbook deck, considering your magical prowess." Astolfo commented. It was then that the doorbell rang, as the pinkette bolted towards the door and eagerly opened it, an ecstatic look on his face. Standing outside was a rather handsome man with short blonde hair and blue eyes and was taller than Astolfo. His outfit consisted of a navy blue shirt with long sleeves, a pair of black cargo pants, brown boots and a pair of brown gloves. This young man was Roland, Astolfo's cousin and a bit of a pervert.
"Roland!" Astolfo beamed, hugging the blonde tightly. "It's been too long since I last saw you!"
"Yeah, it has been a while. Sorry about that." Roland apologised, as he broke off the hug and entered the house along Astolfo. Almost immediately, he spotted Micaiah and Sothe and was awestruck at the sight of the former. "Woah, who is that cutie?"
"Oh, that's Micaiah, and the guy sitting beside her is Sothe." Astolfo introduced the duo to Roland, who waved politely at him in response.
"Nice to meet you two." Roland greeted them, before taking something out of his bag. "So champ, ready to get decked by yours truly?" he challenged Astolfo to a duel.
"I was waiting for this Roly!" Astolfo referred to his cousin via nickname, as the pinkette whipped out his own deck. "Time for me to teach you a lesson in duelling!"
The duo walked over to the dining room table, where they sat opposite of each other. Both Micaiah and Sothe shifted their gear and opted to watch the duel, since it could give them valuable insight into the world of Yu-Gi-Oh.
"Duel!" both contestants called out, placing their decks on the table and drew five cards.
Astolfo: 4000
Roland: 4000
"I'll go first! I set a monster and end my turn by setting a card facedown." Astolfo declared, setting his cards. A fairly basic move, but it could prove to be dangerous to the unprepared, and the arrogant.
"Too easy, I draw!" Roland initiated his turn. "I activate the spell card Foolish Burial, allowing me to send my Phantom Beast Cross-Wing to the Graveyard. Now I'll summon Phantom Beast Wild-Horn in Attack Mode!" the blonde man summoned his powerful monster, as the muscular mooseman gained additional power due to Cross-Wing's effect.
ATK: (1700-2000)
"Now crush his face down Wild-Horn!" Roland cried out, with the beast-warrior charging at Astolfo's monster, only to be surprised when it was revealed to be Renge, Gatekeeper of Dark World.
Roland: 4000-3900
"Teehee, how'd you like that?" Astolfo teased, annoying the brave knight.
"Hmpf, I set a card facedown and end my turn." Roland replied. The young man was slightly concerned about what strategies Astolfo has hiding up his sleeves; after all, Dark World decks have remained quite powerful despite being a fairly old archetype.
"Now it's my turn; time to crank that dial up a few notches!" Astolfo cried out, drawing his next card. "Wonderful, I activate the spell card, Dark World Dealings! A little gift from yours truly." The pinkette smirked, as each player drew a card, before discarding it to the graveyard. "Now I activate the effect of Gren, Tactician of Dark World. Say bye-bye to your facedown card."
"Not so fast! I activate my facedown card, Threatening Roar!" Roland retaliated, as Wild-Horn let out an almighty bellow, sending chills down Renge's spine and preventing Astolfo from attacking.
"Beh, I don't need to attack this turn." Astolfo snorted, clearly upset by Roland's clever trick. I set another monster facedown and end my turn."
"Hehehe, I draw!" Roland announced the beginning of his turn. "I'll tribute my Wild-Horn to summon Phantom Beast Rock-Lizard in Attack Mode!" The mooseman disappeared into a beam of light, as a hulking lizard emerged from the light and let out a frightening shriek, gaining power from Cross-Wing's effect.
ATK (2200-2500)
"Hold up, don't you need two tributes to summon a level seven monster?" Sothe interjected, taken aback by what he just saw.
"True, but Rock-Lizard's effect makes summoning it a lot easier." Roland replied, before turning to face Astolfo. "Now Rock-Lizard, destroy his facedown monster!" The hulking lizard barrelled towards Astolfo's facedown monster, and effortlessly crushed it with it's large fists, with the pinkette flinching as he took damage from Rock-Lizard's effect.
Astolfo: 4000-3500
"Scarr's effect activates, I get to add a Dark World monster from my deck to my hand!" Astolfo commented, retrieving a card from his deck.
"In that case, I'll set two cards facedown and end my turn!" Roland replied, setting his cards.
"Alright then, I draw!" Astolfo called out, and grinned at what he saw. "Time for the head honcho of my deck to make an appearance, I summon Brron, Mad King of Dark World in Attack Mode!" The twisted ruler made an appearance on the battlefield, his arms chained up for some reason.
"And what's that guy gonna do against my Rock-Lizard, go on a long tangent about the duality of man?" Roland taunted. "Please, it's time for stuffy monarchs like him to bite the dust!"
"M-Mad King…you mean like Ashnard?" Sothe commented, as disturbing memories of the former ruler of Daein returned to his mind.
"I'm sure it's nothing to worry about, after all he looks more goofy than menacing." Micaiah attempted to ease her companion's worries.
"Oh, he's quite menacing alright." Astolfo grinned, activating his facedown. "Especially when he has Metalmorph backing him up!"
ATK (1800-2100)
"Now Brron, put that lizard out of it's misery!" Astolfo grinned, as the Mad King broke free of his chains and drew his sword, his body glowing a metallic sheen as he gained a power boost and eviscerated Rock-Lizard.
ATK (2100-3350)
Roland: 3050
"Well look at that, another monster sent to the Dark World. I sure hope he sends me a postcard, kyeheheheheheheheh!" Brron cackled to himself while cleaning his sword, as everyone in the room was surprised to see his duel spirit.
"Woah, a duel spirit?! Talk about a lucky break!" Roland exclaimed, while Micaiah and Sothe had confused looks on their faces.
"Oh yeah, he's been hanging around me for a while. I'll be sure to explain the deets to you all after this duel." Astolfo replied offhandedly. "Anyway, since Brron dealt battle damage to you, I get to discard a card, and it looks like he's getting some reinforcements." The pinkette chimed, as he activated the effect of Beiige, Vanguard of Dark World, who bowed in the presence of his king. Beiige proceeded to charge at Roland and landed a direct attack on the blonde man.
Roland: 1450
"And with that, I end my turn!" Astolfo grinned, as he gained the upper hand. However Roland didn't seem fazed at all. It was as if he was planning something that could turn the tide of this duel.
"Heh, I draw!" Roland called out. "I activate my facedown card, Call of the Haunted. Welcome back Rock-Lizard!" he beamed as the massive lizard returned from the grave and let out an almighty roar.
ATK (2200-2500)
"Oh now that's just plain wrong, I already killed that thing!" Brron complained. "I guess it didn't enjoy its vacation."
"But that's not all, I activate my other facedown, Horn of the Phantom Beast!" Roland added, as a pair of amber elk horns were attached to Rock-Lizard's head.
ATK (2500-3300)
"Now Rock-Lizard, dethrone that Mad King once and for all!" the blonde man declared, as the mighty lizard charged directly at Brron and walloped him with a powerful punch.
"Oh nooooooooooooo!" Brron cried out, as he was flung back and was destroyed, with Astolfo taking a decent hit to his life points.
Astolfo: 2300
"Don't forget about Rock-Lizard's effect." Roland grinned.
"Yeah, yeah. I know." Astolfo replied, irritated that one of his key players got decked hard.
Astolfo: 1800
"I'll end my turn." Roland replied. "Now let's see if you can make a comeback after that."
"Alright then, let's see what I draw this turn." Astolfo said, as he drew his card and gazed at it, before coming up with a plan.
"From my hand, I activate Mystical Space Typhoon and destroy your Call of the Haunted." Astolfo called out.
"N-no!" Roland gasped, as his Rock-Lizard was destroyed upon the destruction of Call of the Haunted."
"It gets better from here, by tributing Renge and Beiige, I get to summon my most powerful monster. Please give a warm welcome to Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World!" Astolfo introduced his ace monster, with Grapha letting out a roar that was even louder than Rock-Lizard's. "Now attack him directly Grapha!" The pinkette called out, as Grapha fired a large beam of dark energy at Roland that wiped out the rest of his life points.
Roland: 0
Winner: Astolfo
"And that's game!" Astolfo grinned, with Roland sighing and scooping up his cards.
"Damn, you got me good that time. But once I build a better deck, it's going to be a different story cousin." Roland promised.
"That was some excellent strategies you utilised Astolfo." Micaiah praised the young man, clapping her hands together. "Now I really want to try my deck out."
"Yeah, it looks rather fun if I say so myself." Sothe added. "I might show it off to Ike and his gang if I get the chance."
"I knew you were gonna say that…" Micaiah sighed, resting her head on her hands. "If you love Ike that much, why don't you move in with him and father his children?"
"I-I-it's not like that Micaiah!" Sothe stammered, a blush appearing on his face with everybody else giggling in response. It was then that the doorbell rang a second time, with Astolfo making his way to see who it was. He opened the door and saw a pair of familiar faces, his best friend Chevalier, and his partner Blair. Chevalier had long flowing blonde hair, bright blue eyes and a petite frame. His outfit was a blue and white maid's uniform that had white thigh-high socks and was topped off with a blue headband that had a lily on it. Blair was around a year or so younger than Chevalier and had long blue hair and bright red eyes. Her outfit consisted of a red jacket, yellow t-shirt, black shorts that were held up by a belt and a pair of white sneakers.
"Oh hey Chevvie, our special guest has already arrived." Astolfo beamed.
"Roland's here?!" Chevalier exclaimed, as he bolted into the house, leaving Blair a little confused.
"I take it that they haven't seen each other in a long time." Blair deduced, with Astolfo nodding in confirmation as he gestured for her to step inside. The duo soon walked back to the dining room table, where they were greeted with the sight of Chevalier embracing Roland rather tightly.
"It's been way too long Roly!" Chevalier said.
"Uh yeah, it has been a while." Roland replied sheepishly, as the duo then broke it off. "H-Hey, who's the cutie by your side Astolfo?"
"I'm Blair, and you're looking at the next Tokyo Duel Monsters champion!" she introduced herself, pointing a finger up in the air.
"Looks like I got some competition then." Roland smirked, crossing his arms.
"Oh really? Because from what I saw, Astolfo wiped the floor with you." Micaiah retorted, with Roland stepping back a few feet in shock.
"Oh come on, not in front of my cousin!" Roland whined, with everyone else giggling in response. A few seconds later, Chevalier broke the ice with a news update.
"By the way, did you know that the Pokémon Fangame Rally is in a couple hours?" Chevalier reported.
"R-Really?!" Astolfo exclaimed, before a big grin appeared on his face. "Alright, that's what we're gonna do today!"
"Pokémon fangames? What's that about?" Sothe inquired, curious about what he heard.
"You don't know about it?!" Roland replied, shocked at Sothe's comment, with the latter shrugging his shoulders in response. "Let me explain; it started a few years ago when a group of people got together and developed a game known as Pokémon Reborn. Once it was released, it received near-universal reclaim. Additionally, it inspired several other developers to make their own games, which led to us getting Rejuvenation, Desolation, Uranium, Insurgence, Sage, Clover, Phoenix Rising, Solar-Light/Lunar-Dark, Full Moon, and many other amazing games."
"Pokemon Reborn…I've never been a fan of video games, but I know the rest of the Dawn Brigade can't get enough of them, especially Reborn." Micaiah inserted her two cents into the conversation.
"Hey, why didn't anybody tell be about it?" Sothe whined.
"I figured Ike would've told you about them." Micaiah retorted.
"Anyway, the Rally will be in Akihabara; I've been tasked with helping set up the rally by the head organiser, Ame." Chevalier added, as Blair and him finished packing their bags. "Sorry about dashing out of here, but I gotta get their quick. See you later!"
"No need to worry about that, we're coming with you if that's alright." Astolfo replied, as he and the rest of them finished packing their stuff as well. They then proceeded to leave the house and hop into Chevalier's SUV, with its owner putting the keys in the ignition and started the engine. As the car roared into life and Chevalier began driving, they each thought about what a great day it would be, unaware that something would go horribly wrong.
?
A series of monitors lit up the otherwise dark room; showing information regarding the Pokémon Fangame Rally. Three figures were analysing the information, and were discussing among themselves what to do with it.
"It seems that despite our best efforts, the fangames are still getting released. This isn't how I hoped things would turn out." The first figure commented, his voice soothing with a hint of conniving in it.
"Humans have always been easily led astray, and these fangames are proof of it." The second figure chimed in, his voice deep and philosophical. "Any thoughts about it?" He inquired the third figure, whom chuckled softly in response.
"These games are but an obstacle to the path of salvation. It's up to us to guide humanity on the right path by disposing of these games." The third figure proclaimed, his voice being strikingly bewitching.
How's that for an introduction chapter, did it get you hooked in? Tune in next time, for the Pokémon Fangame Rally and the debut of this fic's villainous faction.
