Faunn Town - People's Coordinate of Greenleaf - December 13, 2023 - 6:20 AM

"Coordinator Satoshi!" a young green-haired boy and his Nuzleaf called to Satoshi Jupitoru, the Coordinator of the People's Coordinate of Greenleaf. The said person was sleeping upside-down like a Zubat, his Grovyle doing the same.
"SATOSHI!" the boy shouted yet again, splashing a bucket of water on the raven-haired man. Satoshi and his Grovyle suddenly woke up, and they both fell to the ground.
"What in world do you need, Jupaku?" Satoshi asked in his deep Vostoki accent.
"There's a message from Ignis, but it's not Ignis," Jupaku, the boy from earlier replied. "They call themselves Aurora."
"Maybe they had revolution," Satoshi thought aloud. "Anyway, what did they say?" he asked.
"Here, you read it," Jupaku replied, giving an apricot-colored envelope, on it the Auroran coat of arms (a gold Staraptor with scarlet, cerulean, and viridian stripes on its chest). It read:

Dear Coordinator Satoshi:
As you now know, Ignis is gone and Aurora takes its place. We have no bad intention to your nation or Fontaine; we just want to unite Ransei through peace (and war, if needed). So please accept this treaty proposition.
-Hikari Tajiri; Coordinator of Aurora

"Hmm... uniting Ransei?" Satoshi smirked. "Wouldn't that need ALL nations in region?"
"What are you thinking, Satoshi?" Jupaku asked.
"Let's give them test," Satoshi smirked, and Jupaku could've swore an evil aura surrounded the Greenleaven Coordinator and his smiling Pokémon.

A/N: Ash is the leader of Greenleaf! Not that surprising, since I always do this in EVERY Pokémon fanfic I do... Anyway, 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 3: Enter Satoshi and Greenleaf

Flichant Town - Ignese Autonomous State (Aurora) - December 13, 2023 - 8:00 AM

Friday the thirteenth. Nothing could be worse than that.
Okay, MAYBE Satoshi's army attacking Ignis might be worse.
"Gdie Igniskiy dvoriets? (Where is Ignese Palace?)" Satoshi asked in Vostoki the watch guard (the same one from last chapter) who was asleep at the time.
"Huh, what?" the guard asked.
"Um, Coordinator Satoshi wants to know where Ignis castle is," Motonari, a green-haired and quite thin man explained. His Snivy yawned in boredom and jumped on the head of Cilantro, a warrior from far away Unova, and played with Cilantro's Chespin.
"Umm, over there, yawn..." the guard absentmindedly responded. So the group headed for that direction.

Meanwhile, in the market nearby, Hikari and Takeshi were shopping for different items, like potions and graces.
"Why do we need these again?" Hikari asked, looking at the Crimson and Cerulean Graces she was holding (the graces look like Arceus' plates in this universe).
"So that we can heal our Pokémon when standing on a certain terrain," Takeshi explained.
"Oh," Hikari responded. She looked at the shiny Cerulean grace she was holding, and saw a reflection. She then flinched and looked in the direction of a green-caped man. "Hey Takeshi, isn't that the Coordinator of Greenleaf?" she asked in disbelief, looking at the said warrior and his green cape.
Takeshi looked in her direction too, and even rubbed his eyes to see if he was imagining things. "It is! And it looks like... they're heading for the palace! We have to hurry!"

It was a very good thing going through the market was the quickest path to the castle; the two were able to beat Satoshi to the palace and warn Oichi and Mitsunari in time.
"Greenleaf's Warlord! *pant* He's here!" Hikari panted as she and Takeshi hiked to the top of the hill, where the Ignese Palace and the two warriors were.
"WHAT?!" Mitsunari and Oichi exclaimed. "WHY?"
"Don't *pant* know," Takeshi responded, also panting, "but we will know soon. Look!"
The four looked just in time to see four men appearing on the horizon.
"Coordinator Hikari, nice to meet you, da~" Satoshi did a mock bow. Hikari nervously did the same. "But enough with formalities, we went here to test you!"
Test? everyone thought as Satoshi told them to meet him at Mount Flichant, a volcano that is situated between Ignis and Fontaine. Then Oichi gasped.
"He's gonna battle us for Ignis!" the pink-haired girl exclaimed.
"He's crazy!" Takeshi replied. "He's doing that so quickly, and he didn't even try invading Baesykke!"
"Don't forget you have a quadruple type weakness against ALL FOUR of them," Mitsunari retorted (Lotad was in the infirmary after the Ignese-Auroran Civil War, and Geodude, Takeshi's second Pokémon is filling in for it). Takeshi shut his mouth and sweatdropped.
"And since this is a test, maybe Satoshi just wants to see his strong we are," Oichi added.
"Well, we have no choice but to accept..." Hikari sighed. "Let's go to the volcano."
So off they went to Mount Flichant.

They reached the location of the battle, which (by Mitsunari's request and Takeshi's doing) was now a giant rock maze. But the battle started as soon as they came, for Satoshi had crazy range. He immediately knocked Geodude out with his Grovyle's Leaf Blade.
"Geodude, no!" Takeshi exclaimed.
"Quick Attack!" Hikari and Mitsunari shouted in revenge for their fallen ally.
That didn't do much, for Grovyle had high stamina and health, and immediately Satoshi retreated.
"That was fast..." Oichi muttered.
"Yeah, wonder if... Jukkum!" Mitsunari exclaimed, seeing the young warrior about to attack Eevee. "Scyther, Fury Cutter!" Scyther did just that, and due to it being a 4x super-effective move, Nuzleaf fainted.
"No! Nuzleaf!" Jukkum exclaimed. "And here I wanted to win..."
"One down, three to go!" Oichi exclaimed, looking for others. And so they slowly advanced, waiting for another ambush. Next came Cilantro, and after a long battle with Oichi (it was very hard), his Chespin was defeated.
"No! Chespin!" Cilantro cried. "Great job, I'm proud of you," he sighed, as he cradled his Chespin and left the battlefront. They then prepared for the next part of the battle, which Satoshi said will be in the Baesykke Woods.

Baesykke Town - Auroran Coordinate - December 13, 2023 - 10:10 AM

What Hikari, Oichi and Mitsunari didn't expect for the first battle was Motonari and his Snivy out in the open, waiting for them to strike. "Huh?" Hikari wondered. "What's Satoshi up to?"
"Jigglypuff, Double Slap once we go near but be careful," Oichi warned. The two crept slowly to the guy and were about to attack when suddenly, out of the blue (or green, in this case), Satoshi emerged and trapped them in the thick of the woods while ordering several attacks, all directed at Jigglypuff. The poor Pokémon got seriously bruised and fainted.
"Jigglypuff! I guess it's time for us to retreat," Oichi sighed, pulling out a potion and spraying it on Jigglypuff.
Hikari got angry at this. "That wasn't fair! Eevee, Quick Attack!"
"All is fair in love and war," Satoshi teased mockingly as he noticed the attack and ordered Grovyle to dodge. What he didn't notice was that it was a skewer: instead of ramming into the stronger Grovyle, Eevee rammed into the weaker Snivy behind him. And it was faster, too, because of two things: one, Eevee had more launching space, and two, Hikari used her skill Top Speed. Snivy was 1-hit-KOed, and blasted off and (somehow) landed in the Greenleaven Palace.
"No! Snivy!" Motonari exclaimed, then sighed. "Things are really not going our way..."
Meanwhile, Satoshi was smirking. "I really underestimated you... But enough is enough! Let's stop joking around, da~?"
"WAIT, THAT WAS JOKING AROUND?!" the two exclaimed.
"Yep," Satoshi smiled cruelly. "Now get ready for this! Giratina's Pact!" Both Satoshi and Grovyle were smirking sadistically as a blood red aura surrounded them.
"What's that?" Hikari asked.
"Giratina's Pact," Motonari explained. "It is a warrior skill which boosts everything drastically, attack, defense, range, health, and stamina, but with a catch: if Grovyle doesn't do any offensive attack in any half minute, both Warrior and Pokémon will faint.
Hikari and Mitsunari gulped. They were in for one tough battle...
"Leaf Blade!" Satoshi commanded. Grovyle gave a bestial roar as he zoomed in to close the distance.
"Fury Cutter, Scyther!" Mitsunari said, trying to block the attack.
"Quick Attack, Eevee!" Hikari shouted, trying to dodge.
"Not so fast, Giga Drain!" Satoshi exclaimed. The red light grew even stronger and enveloped the surrounding Pokémon (Eevee and Scyther) as it absorbed the energy around it and went to Grovyle. It was a good thing Eevee held an Emerald Grace, because if not, she would already have been defeated. If Satoshi and his Grovyle didn't look terrifying then, they did now.

But Scyther's doing some damage, too. Grovyle is obviously tired, as physically strained as Satoshi is mentally.
"Scyther! Don't give up! You can do it! Use your Furry Cutter MAX POWER!" Mitsunari exclaimed. Scyther's blades gained a metallic sheen, and slowly but surely, he was able to retaliate. The attack was made even stronger because Grovyle flinched a little due to the stress.
"Eevee, help them with Shadow Ball!" Hikari showed that she was still part of the battle. Eevee sent her last Shadow Ball before she fell down in exhaustion. Luckily, that final hit was the sockdolager as Grovyle stopped draining energy. Twenty seconds passed. He smiled a genuine smile, and a few moments later fainted.
"Fun's over..." Satoshi sighed. He then carried Grovyle and healed him with a green aura. But after a little while, he also collapsed by a tree. "You win... and pass..." was the last thing he said before he passed out.
"Giratina's Pact does take a toll on him after... but it's awesome!" Jukkum remarked as he, Cilantro and Takeshi arrived at the scene. "Well, as he promised, we'll sign the treaty."
"Wait, WHAT?!" the three Aurorans and the Ignese exclaimed in surprise.
"You didn't know?" Motonari asked. When he got 'no' for an answer, he sighed. "Vostoki men are the most cryptic and secretive I've ever seen," he remarked.

Faunn Town - People's Coordinate of Greenleaf - December 13, 2023 - 12:30 PM

A few minutes later, we find our heroes in the Greenleaven Palace, with the white flag of Greenleaf and its green hammer-and-sickle emblem proudly flown on the frontyard. Inside, Satoshi and Hikari officially sign the treaty.
"In addition, we're gonna join you guys!" Jukkum said happily.
"Except me, I'm going to take a vacation," Cilantro said.
"Wow, this dream of uniting Ransei might really come true!" Oichi gasped.
"Yes, but..." Satoshi said. "You will have competition."

Cryon Town - Nixtorm Coordinate - December 14, 2023 - 2:15 AM

"Nobunaga..." Akechi Mitsuhide, the Coordinator of Nixtorm saw the cloaked man and his army coming. That's why he went to Cryon, the town nearest to Dragnor. He has heard Spectra's soldiers' warnings, and prepared. "Fire the ice cannons!" The ice was hurled into the sky, and it started to hail. For some reason, the trick worked. Most of the Pokémon got scared and ran away. They ARE Dragon-types after all... But sadly, Ranmaru, Nobunaga, their Pokémon and the rest of the army kept on pressing on.
"Get ready for one hard fight," Mitsuhide warned to his warriors and army.

A/N: Sorry for making Ash OOC. I wanted to make it like this for the story, and practice my Russian. Anyway, please review, and non-constructive flames will be sent all the way to Mars.
