And this is an idea inspired by a couple pieces of fanart, while I am still writing a longer adventure story, I thought it would be amusing to dive into this idea, so here it is.

Prologue: A bad idea gets approved!

Within the city of Planeptune a busy laboratory brims with excitement and activity. After all, everybody was on a verge of a huge scientific breakthrough, and this could change the future of Gamindustri. The lead researcher for the project had printed up all the necessary documents to approve of production of this revolutionary project, now all that was left is to get them signed.

"If we can get this approved, then we can make this gadget... one where you put on your wrist, then when you defeat a monster, you have a chance to befriend them..." The voice said, walking towards the office of Planeptune, hoping that by some miracle this project would get approved. Since Planeptune's CPU does not like paper work, it was a long shot, but maybe today will be a lucky day, because...

Upstairs at the Planeptune tower is Histoire, the nation's Oracle, watching over CPU Neptune work (for once). There had been other times where Histoire had to simply watch Neptune just to get work done, and this only happens few times a year, but it was something that had to be done. Soon, the door to the room would open, and a member of the basilicom walks in, handing Histoire another stack of papers for approval.

"(Gadget for converting defeated monsters into pets... hmmm)" Histoire thought, skimming the title, thinking it was non-sense, knowing some people do not have the responsibility to even take care of themselves let alone a pet, like a certain somebody Histoire knows...

"Achoo!" Neptune sneezed, not sure at who was talking about her, but still had a bad feeling.

Histoire put down the stack of papers on the desk, it was simply too ridiculous to consider, as she began to leave the room for once. "Neptune, do not leave this place, I am going to have to talk with people."

When the door closed shut, Neptune leaned back on her chair and sighed, catching up on work was no fun, but Histoire had threatened to take away her pudding, so she could not say no. Still, having to continue her work, she leaned forward and picked up the stack of papers that Histoire put down earlier and read through the descriptions.

"A gadget that could befriend monsters into pets? And also any foe from the bestiary!? This sounds totally awesome! Let's see... page 2 is... talking about rules and regulations with pets, no battles with others, take care of your pets, yadda yadda yadda. Oh well, who cares about all that small stuff! This sounds good, approved!" Neptune said, signing the entire package and being in a good mood with the idea, went ahead and got the other papers all signed and was out of the room.

Histoire returned to the room, having took a lot longer because she deviated from her original plan of going down to the R&D lab to discourage such an unproductive idea, but she was sidetracked when Nepgear appeared with her own stack of papers to approve of giant robot defenders for Planeptune, which Histoire denied on the spot.

When Histoire saw Neptune gone, she tensed up, but coming back to the desk, there was a note on top of all the papers, it read:

Hiya Histy!

Everything is done, you can check it if you want, so don't kill me or take away my pudding.

Love Neptune

Double checking the truth of the note, Histoire did indeed find that all the important documents were all signed and approved, which made her relax a bit. Every once in awhile Neptune could get work done, so even if the CPU went off to play video games today, it was all right. However, being caught up with the work that Neptune had done, Histoire forgot about the package asking for approval of the pet gadget, which was now all filled out at the bottom of the stack and carried by Histoire for processing.

The next week, Planeptune's R&D had full production of the their proposed Pet Gadget, which they named Nep-Pets. The excitement and anticipation for the new invention had the whole nation roused, as the time for the gadget's release date approached, a new age for Gamindustri has begun...

Prologue done, each nation will have their own chapters of mayhem now.
