Hello everyone. I would like to welcome you to this new series of one-shots mixing together Splatoon and The Loud House. These 2 franchises are amazing and I feel there is untapped potential for crossovers that not only do I want to take advantage of, but I hope others do too. But before I start this little spectacle, I want to get a few things out of the way first.

1. All content belongs to their respective owners. Like Loud House belonging to Nickelodeon and Chris Savino. As well as Splatoon and all it's affiliating elements being property of Nintendo.

2. I am ignoring the rule with Inklings and form change at 14 years old thing. In this universe, all Inklings essentially have mastery of that ability at birth.

3. If you like this crossover between Loud House and Splatoon, please consider writing your own. I'd love to see what you can come up with.

Enjoy!

Chapter 1: Humble beginnings part 1

Inkopolis Square… A social hotspot Inkling culture. Filled with various shops, businesses, an arcade, café, and a TV station for the local news among other things. But if there was one thing that the squidizens gravitated to the most, it was Deca Tower. A major center point due to its state of the art Turf War coordination. Turf War was one of the major sports in the Inkling world. In fact, it was THE major sport! There wasn't a single Inkling that didn't enjoy the game in some way.

And today, another one was going to enter the ring…

A pair of Inkling boys were hanging outside the Galleria strip mall. One had his tentacles styled in a bowl haircut with dark blue coloring. His eyes had the exact same color as well and were complimented by deep purple t-shirt and tan skin. His companion had green tentacles, pink eyes, and darker skin. In addition to his yellow baseball cap, he wore a matching sweatshirt to go along with it. The blue inkling sipped a smoothie as he was surfing the net on his phone.

Eventually, something caught his attention and he grabbed his friend's arm. "Hey, check this out!" He shoved his phone in his companion's face. The screen showed a blueprint of a pair of dualies. The other kid looked unamused.

"So? They just showed what the next weapon their making is."

"So? SO!? These bad boys are going to be cutting edge in performance and freshness! Just in time for the next season in the Battle League too!" As the blue one celebrated, his friend still looked disinterested. "Come on. Crack a smile." The smile did not come. The inkling finally lost his patience. "Fine. If these aren't going to be the greatest things since sliced bread, then may I be struck down where I stand!"

"INCOMING!" Instantly after the kid made his speech, a brown squid rocketed down and knocked him against the pavement. The inkling's friend smirked at the humorous misfortune as the poor squid groaned. The new arrival that crashed into him started to take humanoid form. The revealed themselves to be a girl with brown tentacle hair styled into a single pony tale. Her attire consisted of a red and white sports jersey with a big red number 1. Her shirt was matched well with her red shorts and black soccer cleats. She brushed herself off with an optimistic smile. "Sorry about that. I'm kind of in a rush."

"No problem." The crushed inkling moaned as he struggled back up. The 2 boys looked at the new arrival in bewilderment. The inkling in the yellow shirt clapped in amusement.

"Never seen someone Super-Jump so fast. In fact, never really seen you in the plaza. Who are you?" the pink eyed inkling asked. The girl grinned.

"I'm the next big star in the world of Turf War! But you can just call me…"

"LYNN LOUD JR.!" Another voice called out from above. The girl looked up to see another squid jumping towards them. When he landed, he revealed himself to be an adult in a blue-green shirt and brown jeans. He breathed heavily as Lynn shook her head.

"Dad, what took you so long?"

"Kiddo, I'm not exactly in the prime of my youth you know." Lynn Sr. argued. His daughter was not swayed.

"You have 11 kids, including me. Your stamina should be incredible." She retorted as she turned to Deca Tower. "Plus, I'm kind of excited. My first REAL Turf War!" She squealed before letting out a sigh. "Ever since they introduced it to me in gym class, I knew it was destiny for me to be a professional!" Lynn reminisced rather wistfully. At a young age, Lynn Loud showed an extreme love of all sports. Yet somehow, Turf War strangely went under her radar for years. Writing it off as some uninteresting pass time until it was introduced into school phy ed. programs .Ever since she fired that first shot and started swimming in the ink spread on the floor, her eyes were opened to her ultimate passion and she spent about a year training to hit the official scene.

Lynn gazed to the top of the tower and took a deep breath. "Well, it's now or never!" Lynn ran over to the building eager to start an exciting match that would hopefully blossom into a career. But before she could get through the inner circle, she was stopped by her father.

"Jr. Hold on a minute." Lynn groaned at her father's interruption.

"Dad, I'll be fine. Lisa says that the respawn technology has a 100% success rate. Not once has it ever gone wrong."

"I know that. Heck, I've been splat in a match first hand. I just wanted to give you something extra to start off with." Senior reassured as he reached behind him and pulled out a green and purple gun from behind him. Lynn was astounded with the present her father gave her.

"A… A standard Splattershot!?"

"I had some extra money in my pocket and I thought that you…" Lynn cut her father off with a hug while simultaneously swiping the weapon from his hands. Her dad hugged back as the other 2 inklings from before snuck a couple pictures and posted them on the internet.

"Hashtag 'father daughter moment'." One of them chuckled as he typed the caption in. Lynn Sr. wiped a tear from Jr.'s eye.

"Go out and have fun, squiddo!" Lynn nodded in response to her dad's support and ran through the tower doors. As she did, she missed the multitude of screens built into the walls tune into the local news. The screens displayed 2 girls in a fancy studio with another monitor behind them. One of them was Pearl. She was an Inkling in a white, sleeveless jacket with a golden zipper and pink leggings. A small white crown rested on top of her tentacle hair, which was also white with pink hues at the bottom.

The other girl was named Marina. A dark brown skinned Octoling as indicated with suction cups being on the outside of her tentacle hair, which was a blackish brown with green tips at the end. Her fashion choice was similar to Pearl's, except instead of a dress, she had a small black top and short skirt with bright green leggings. Pearl waved at the screen as the pair started their show.

"What up, everyone?"

"It's Off the Hook, coming live from Inkopolis Square." Pearl stretched her arms above her head and leaned side to side in her chair after Marina finished speaking.

"Alright, Marina. Show the folks at home the stages for Regular Class Battles."

"You got it!" Marina hopped over to a DJ turntable and fiddled with the records, displaying 2 locations on the TV behind them. Being Blackbelly Skatepark and Manta Maria. Marina paused and waited for Pearl to talk again. Pearl nodded and waved her hand.

"Alright. Now how about the Ranked Class?" Marina was puzzled at how quickly Pearl wanted to move the show along. Regardless, she shrugged it off and nodded. The next two stages were Kelp Dome and MakoMart. "And lastly, let's wrap it up with the League stages." Pearls quickly demanded. Marina raised an eyebrow and fiddled with the turntable one more time to show Inkblot Art Academy and The Reef. But as she did, she cleared her throat.

"Pearl, are you okay?" She asked calmly. Pearl shot a quick glance at her co-star and responded.

"Of course. Why do you ask?"

"Well normally you make a comment about one of the stages that I follow up on. But now you seem in kind of a rush to get through the show. Is something going on?" Marina questioned. Pearl bit her lip and looked at the ground. Eventually, she found the strength to talk and put on a brave face.

"Actually, yes Marina. There IS something going on. Or rather something that isn't."

"And what's that?"

"It's us being caught up in our work without having fun!" Pearl snapped as she forgot they were on the air. Pearl blushed from embarrassment and recoiled in her seat as she continued cautiously. "Come on, Marina. Just think about it. Sure we have our own TV show and have a killer band, but how long has it been since we were actually in a battle ourselves? Weeks? Months?" She argued. Marina pondered her friend's reasoning for a moment and nodded.

"Huh. I guess you have a point."

"Exactly. That's why I wanted to end todays show early. I want to go have some fun with my dualies!" Pearl squealed. Marina grinned and giggled.

"You know what? You're right! After this, I'm grabbing my Slosher and tagging along!" Pearl gave a thumbs up and grinned.

"Well, you heard it hear first everybody. Marina and I are going to go battling today!"

"If you are lucky, we might be in your match. But until then…" Marina paused as she pushed her turntable to the side and Pearl got out of her chair. The pair then did a fancy pose towards the camera as they signed off with their catchphrase. "Don't get cooked…"

"…Stay Off the Hook!" And with that, the camera turned off and the pair headed out. Meanwhile, back in Deca Tower, Lynn was walking through the halls around other people until she found a computer. She tapped the screen and an automated voice rang out.

"Welcome to the match registry system. Please select an option." Lynn continued to tap the screen and the system continued. "You have chosen to create a new battle ID. Please pull out your phone and open the Splatnet App." Lynn did exactly that and her phone soon created a profile for her to use. She used a picture of herself for the profile picture and the ID indicated her starting rank of level 1. "Profile has been created. Ranked Battle may only be selected one you reach level 10 or higher status. Would you like to start a Regular Class battle now?" Lynn quickly hit yes on the screen and a pipe opened to her right.

"You have been registered for a match, please enter the tube and you will placed on a team." Lynn turned into a squid and jumped inside the pipe. She found herself flushed with deep blue ink and she changed her color to match it on reflex. Excitement bubbled up inside her as she approached a light.

"This is it! Today is where it all starts!"

And so it all begins. I guess it's kind of obvious who 2 of the people in Lynn's match are going to be. But who ELSE do you think will pop up? Only time will tell as I write Part 2. Until then...

Stay fresh!
