In Which Guzma Dates a Dragon Girl
A Super Smash Brothers Story
Written By MegaSalamence64
Author's Note:
Hey Guys, MegaSalamence64 Here, Welcome to the First One Shot of my Stories in 2022.
Been Playing Legends: Arceus lately and I have to say, Game Freak DID WELL on this one (They Averted the Curse of the Star Wars Franchise if they made a great prequel compared to the Demonized Prequels and Sequels of the Aforementioned Star Wars)! ;)
(My further thoughts on the Game will be in the AN down below)
For those whom read my Stories, you know how previously for Valentines Day One Shots, I wrote a Lucina/Shulk One Shot but I wanted to try something new this year…. And Try writing a Pair that probably wasn't written before:
Guzma X Kamui/F! Corrin
Yeah, It's an oddball ship but I supposed they DO have a connection with how Family Troubles ties them together (Sort of) with both having Rough Childhoods (Guzma's whole Relationship with his Dad and how (As the Japanese Version confirms he was indeed beaten by him) and Kamui/Corrin's Backstory of being a Child of Wedlock by a Senile Dragon God and forced to chose between two of their adoptive Families (One whom you're raised in and the other being the one Kamui/Corrin's Mother Married after fleeing ) being said Childhoods)
I Mean, It's somewhat of a Superfluous comparison (Since Guzma and Kamui's Family Situations are different form each other and the Former never really dealt his Issues while Kamui was able to unite/Fix her Families in Revelations)…
But After I came up with the Guzma/Corrin/Kamui dynamic, I figured I can allow myself ONE Original Crossover Pairing not done by others (Hey, If Rie Sonomura can make Lucina/Captain Falcon a Pairing, Why not something like Kamui/Guzma since Like I mentioned before, they have a (Somewhat) Common Link with each other with the afermentioned Family Troubles much like how Lucina and Captain Falcon were connected in Rie's Stories by the Former's Reveal Trailer (As well as other stuff that will be better explained if your read Rie's Story for yourself, The Link will be down below for you if you want to check them out)

Well, I wanted to say this before we start this One shot, I want to say this:
IT'S NON CANON TO THE MAIN DELUXE-VERSE.
The Reasoning for this is to well, To avoid being restrictive with latter stories and the Main Deluxe-Verse (Since Guzma and Kamui becoming a Couple will take slightly longer compared to this story….)
But Regardless, I Do hope you enjoy this one shot, Take Care and see ya! ;)

World of Trophies, New Smash City, Legacy Park, Hisui/Sinnoh Festival:
'Of ALL the things I expected to do with my life.. I would never EXPECT to be going out on a DATE to be one of them…. With a Girl whom actually half Dragon….' Guzma thought to himself as he, Kamui and his Three Pokémon (Golisopod, Pinsir and Ariados) walked into Legacy Park alongside Red, Leaf, Lucas and the Former Two's Four Pokémon (Charizard, Ivysaur, Squirtle and Chari), One of the Largest Parks in New Smash City and often a Place to hold Festivals in Said City (especially during it's days as Old Smash City before the Infamous Sherk and Goku Crisis)
It's been Several Months since the Destruction of Galeem and Dharkon and the events of the World of Light incident have been nothing but Memories for the Fighters, Assists, Master Hand and Crazy Hand with peace returning to the World of Trophies with the excitement of the Biggest Tournament yet slowly but surely coming up ahead….
But before that, Many of the Fighters have taken this time to train up for the Inevitable tournament to decide whom the strongest of them all while others decide to simply take the time to relax and explore the world of Trophies and spend time with some of their opponents, learning about each other and their worlds in the process.
But for Guzma, He was currently taking his Girlfriend Kamui (Whom Confessed to him after helping her become more confident against bullies like Wario and Boshi) out for a Double Date with Leaf and Red (As well as their Pokémon and Lucas) to the Local Hisuian/Sinnohian Festival, A Celebration of how Humans and Pokémon start to truly Coexist with one another.
'Well…. I Supposed this might as well be our first Date if I Truly want to change for the better after that whole stuff with Necrozma, Rainbow Rocket, Galeem and Dharkon….' Guzma thought to himself once more as he glanced back to Kamui as he recalled when Red suggested the idea for a potential Double Date with them and Leaf two days ago…..
(*******)
Two Days ago, Smash Mansion, Red, Leaf and Lucas's Room:
"OK, HOLD THE PHONE THERE RED!" Shouted Guzma in Surprise at what the Champion of Kanto has just mentioned while looking back at him and the leaflet that he. "So you're telling me I should take Kamui out to This Hisui Hertiage Festival!?"
"I'm no history fan….. And I'm certain Kamui isn't the type of person to understand History…." He continued as he paused back to the Book that was near him (Lent to him by Chrom whom has gotten it from Ken) which has the Words: Dating 101 written on its Cover. "So I don't think going out with you guys to what is basically Ancient Sinnoh would work for us compared to you and Leaf…."
"What little I usually think of Dates would be in my opinion is usually those fancy Kalosian Restaurants or something….Not that I actually been to a Kalosian Restaurant to be honest since you get the picture…."
"Well, Dates don't necessary have to be fancy… Even a trip to a Festival would be just as good…. Especially if it's a Local One…." Red answered back with a smile on his face. "It's like taking a trip down the Local Parks for one…"
"Do Festivals count as Fancy to you?" Guzma questioned back to the Kantonian with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Well not really," Said Red as he looked back to the ex-leader of Team Skull with a smile on his face. "Festivals are something for everyone to enjoy, so you and Kamui don't have to worry..."
"Well to be Fair Guzma, A Local Jhoto Festival is actually where me and Red first started dating…" Leaf admitted to the ex-Team Skull Leader with a small smile on her face before he can say anything.
"And it's one of those Rare Time Charizard actually managed to not want to go battling like his life depends on it…." Ivysaur added on as she looked back to Charizard whom was with Chari and Squritle.
Despite being another snarky remark towards him form the Middle Sister of his group, Charizard simply ignored her, no doubt not wanting to make a scene or look bad in front of his Girlfriend, Something Golisopod noticed while he briefly looked away form Pinsir checking his Pinsirite and Ariados reading his Gavantula Comics.
'Well, Guess Charizard's not really a Battle Obessed Meathead as I once thought….' The Hard Scale Pokémon thought to himself as Ivysaur looked back to him.
"To be fair to Charizard, He's been better at not being like some crazy obessed battle guy lately Golisopod," Ivysaur admitted to the Hard Scale Pokémon with a smile. "You should have seen him BEFORE He dated Chari…..and before we had those lessons with Alder, the Former Champion of Unova…"
"Though I have to admit, Charizard's a lot less inpatient after the Sm4sh Tournament and it must have to do with that Sherk and Goku Incident…." The Female of Red's Kanto Starters admitted to Guzma's Starter with slight fear in her tone when she mentioned the Two Demons whom tried to force their way into the Smash Tournament after the Smash Ballot Results, An Issue that Master AND Crazy Hand have issues mentioning with Some even Blaming Corrin and Kamui for causing the Two to appear (When in realty, It was still unknown with a possible theory being the Strange amount of Votes for them despite them not being form realms close to the World of Trophies)
"Heck if anything, Mentioning Goku directly to him gives him the Chills… Same with Lucas….And Let's just say form what little they mentioned to me, Red, Leaf, Chari and Squirtle…." Ivysaur continued as she spoke carefully to avoid bringing unpleasant memories to Charizard by whispering sliently
"It's something they never want to see again, And After seeing Tabuu, Galeem and Dharkon… I can understand why…."
As Golisopod looked back in shock at what Ivysaur has to say, Guzma looked back to Red, No doubt deciding to try to focus on other topics to avoid remembering Galeem and Dharkon as he finished off his discussion with Red, Leaf and Lucas about his .
"So what time do you want me and Kamui to meet you guys at this Hisui Festival?" Guzma questioned back to the Champion of Kanto.
"Well, In two days time at Legacy Park…." Red said back to the ex-Leader of Team Skull as he handed a Map of New Smash City, Which Guzma opened up to see an Area Marked with a Red Circle, No doubt where this Legacy Park.
"…Thanks, See ya…" Said Guzma as he looked back to the Kantonian/Jhotonian Couple and Lucas, Whom smiled back at him (With some nervousness form the Young PSI user however….)
"Alright guys, Let's get back to our Room…" He continued to his Three Pokémon As they followed their Trainer back to their Room.
"See you..." Said Golisopod to Red and Leaf's Pokémon as he, Ariados and Pinsir left with their Trainer.
As soon as Guzma and his Pokémon has left, the Trio of Red, Leaf and Lucas looked to each other with the Latter deciding break the ice now.
"You think this will work Red?" The Young PSI Boy questioned with concern towards his Surrogated brother, Whom looked back to him with somewhat optimism in his look.
"Well, We can hope for the best…." Red admitted to his Surrogated Brother with a smile on his face.
"Guzma may have issues… but he's starting to truly heal form his Past in a way….."
"You can say the Same for Kamui as well…." Leaf admitted to her boyfriend with similar optimism as well. "She and Corrin had it rough with their Families as well… and it didn't help with how Crazy Hand alongside Wario, The Koopalings and Boshi bullied them very often…"
"I think that's why Kamui fell in love with Guzma…. She knows that both of them and her brother shared a common connection about Family Issues…."
"….You got a point there Leaf…." Said Red with a Smile on his face, "It may not be much… but Let's hope this Date will help Guzma and Kamui out…. Same with Corrin…."
(*******)
World of Trophies, New Smash City, Legacy Park, Hisui/Sinnoh Festival:
"Ok, So what's the Plan?" Guzma question towards Red, Leaf, Lucas and the Former Two's Pokémon while trying to avoid potential Relapse (That he surprisingly was able to avoid aside form the occasional moment of Jealously and anger towards Terry Bogard (Due to Memories of his Former Friend Kukui being Present, Something Chrom has been helping him with lately)
"Well, Me, Leaf and Lucas are going to check out the Festival to learn more about the Pokémon that once inhabit Hisui and compare the climate of Sinnoh and see how much as change between it and Hisui in the Possible Hundred Years that passed…"
"Really? I supposed this Festival's a Fusion between a Normal Festival and a Museum then…." Guzma admitted with some rare interest in anything not Pokémon Battling. "I already told you guys I'm No History Bluff…."
"But I'll guess me and Kamui will make the best of it here for our first date…."
"Aw…. Thanks Guzma…." Said Kamui in a rare tone of Happiness towards her now Boyfriend with a smile on her face.
"Well, The Same can be said for us Actually," Said Charizard whom for once wasn't being obsessed for a Battle, "Me, Chari, Ivysaur and Squritle are planning to check out some of the Other Stuff in this Festival…. Like those Hisuian Potato Mochi…."
"Really?" Golisopod admitted to the Flame Pokémon with some surprise, "I Guess it's cause there's no battle event happening right?"
"… Well it's kind of True…." Said Chari with a smile on her face while Ivysaur was making sure Squirtle doesn't run off. "Charizard was initially disappointed there wasn't any battle events in this Festival… but he decided to use it to try to control his ego for the time being…."
"Well I can see why…." Said Golisopod as he noticed Charizard slightly blushing at his Girlfriend while his snout blushed an even brighter then normal red.
"Well I suppose Me and Kamui will just wander around the Festival I guess…. Same with Golisopod, Pinsir and Ariados…." Guzma admitted as he noticed his Girlfriend's looking in some other direction.
"Hey Kamui, What's up?" He questioned to the Half Manakete as she then pointed Left to the Festival.
"I think I want to go there…." She said as Guzma deciding that Kamui may have saw something interesting (To her at least), Decided to know where to go.
"Hey Guys, Me and Kamui will be heading over there…." Guzma said back to the Group as he looked back to Red, Leaf, Lucas and the Former Two's Pokémon. "Where do you want us to meet you guys later?"
"… Well to be honest, There's an event that allows one to experience using the Pokéballs of Hisui as an event…. You can try it out if you want…." Said Red as he gave a copy of the Festival's Map with another marked area on it to Guzma.
"We'll be heading there soon, So if you're interested in checking that place out, Feel free to head there as well…." He continued to Guzma and Kamui with a smile.
"See ya!"
As soon as Red, Leaf, Lucas and their Pokémon Left to explore the Festival on their own, Guzma then turned to his Pokémon as they looked back at him.
"Hey Guzma, Is it ok we go on our own?" Hequestioned as Ariados as Pinsir Took out a Marker he was carrying before they left.
"It's your Date with Kamui and we don't want to get in the way between you two…."
"Sure why not, It's just hanging out at a Festival, Nothing Major after all…." Guzma admitted as he took out his Map and shown the Area where Red told them to meet him, Leaf and Lucas. "Just remember where to meet us afterwards…."
"Aw thanks Guzma!" Said Golisopod as he looked back to the Others as they saw a Stall with similar Maps being handed out.
"Alright guys, Let's Go!" He shouted as the Three Pokémon went to the Stands to get a Map and see the festival for themselves.
"We'll see you later!"
"So… Are they like that Guzma?" Kamui questioned her boyfriend as he simply smirked back at her as his three Pokémon Left to enjoy the Festival.
"Well this is the First time I seen them this Excited since well, We completed the Island Challenge back in our Home Region of Alola…." Guzma admitted with a shrug, No doubt the moment of happiness he had when he completed his Island Challenge in his Youth…. Only to have it to be ruined when he wasn't chosen as a Trial Captain, His one hope to prove his Father that he can something other then a Golfer like him (Something Guzma despised with a burning passion alongside the Fact he was Beaten by Golf Clubs by his Father as well)
"Something wrong Guzma?" Kamui questioned back to the Punk whom quickly snapped back to realty as soon as his named was called.
"Eh.. I'm fine Kamui….." Guzma quickly answered back with hesitation in his tone as he looked back to his Girlfriend. "Let's just try and enjoy this Festival for now."
Kamui for once smiled back as she and Guzma then went on to enjoy the Festival with the Former enjoying the many games of the Festival including the Chance to ride a Stantler popping Balloons while Guzma browses through what little notes can be found about Sycther's long lost evolution to Kleavor (Something he admits that Golisopod would be also interested to find out as while he may be Guzma's Starter, Scizor was the oldest member of their Team)
Next they went tried out making some old Hisui Style Potions and Pokéballs (Which Guzma has trouble doing given his more into breaking stuff then making stuff which was a surprise that his Hisui Ball managed to even be intact, yet alone possible to catch Pokémon while Kamui managed to craft her Pokéball surprisingly well) and then they took some photos in a Photo Studio inspired by the one found in Jubilife Village (That eventually became Jublife City in Modern Sinnoh) with Props and Clothes based on what Hisuians wore back in the day (With some based on the Native Diamond Clan and Pearl Clans with Guzma deciding to take a photo dressed in the Former clan clothes while Kamui trying out the Latter Clan clothes for her photo.
Afterwards, Kamui decided to try some of the Potato Mochi as Guzma, Feeling slighty hungry himself decided to try some as well.
"Merph….Fihis fisss good…" Kamui admitted while talking with her mouth full of the Mochi, No doubt better then what was found in Nohr in her opinion as Guzma was only on his first Mochi.
"Fhat fo fou fink fuzma?" She continued as Guzma simply gave a nod back as he swallowed what he ate of the Mochi so far.
"It's nice Kamui… And try not to eat with your mouth full…. I don't want you to choke by accident…."
Kamui quickly nodded back as she quickly chewed and swallowed the remaining Mochi in her mouth with a smile.
"It's Really that good Guzma!" Said Kamui as she was about to wolf down more of the Mochi as Guzma stopped her.
"Easy there Kamui, It's good alright, That Mochi's good…. But I don't want to risk you chocking on it….." He continued as Kamui then realized what he was saying.
"Oh, My bad…." The Half Dragon sheepishly said to her Boyfriend as Guzma smiled back to her.
"Hey Guzma, What else do you like as Food beside Tapu Cocoa?" She questioned with a concern look on her face.
"You said Team Skull was only funded by Lusamine right? You don't get to eat stuff like this often right?" She continued as Guzma remained slient even further.
"Well it's complicated…." Said the Punk with a reluctant tone. "Me, Plumeria, Rapp, Tupp, Zipp and the Rest Team Skull mostly purchased our food form that Thrifty MegaMart Place in Akala Island but if we can't we mostly steal what we can…."
"It's likely not as bad as whatever you and Corrin ate in Nohr but it's similar in a way…."
Kamui then felt a sense of kindred spirits as while she may be adopted in the Nohrian Royal Family, She was more of a Trophy then a Member of the Family and what little food she ate was almost nothing special compared to her siblings.
It was a miracle she and her brother never suffered malnutrition during the time when they're 'Raised' by Garon and the rest of the Nohrian Royal Family.
"Well I supposed regardless of this, I supposed once this Tournament's Over, You can try some of Hau's Mother cooking at least…" Guzma said back to her with a smile, No doubt knowing how Master Hand has allowed Kamui to live with Guzma alongside Corrin once the Tournament is over. "Way better then anything my Dad tries to cook at least…."
Before Kamui can say anything, A Duo of familiar Faces noticed them, though One is almost a sign of bad omens for her.
"Hey Kamui! How are you?" Said Agumon as he held some Potato Mochi in his Claws while Pichu was beside him, consuming her own Mochi as well.
Kamui's Face quickly turned to one of Fear as she tried her hardest not to scream in fear at the Little Imp whom tormented she and her Brother often when given the chance, Something Guzma noticed as he looked back to the Pichu and her Digimon Friend.
"Oh it's you two…." Said Guzma as he looked back at them with a Glare in his eyes directed towards Pichu.
"Are you two here to prank Kamui? Cause I may be without my Team Right now... But you better not be up to teasing her right n-"
"Well, No she isn't Guzma…." Said Agumon with a Smile on his face as he ate another Mochi. "We're just here to enjoy the Festival as well…."
"That and to try this Great Mochi... I never taste anything back on my home in File Island..." He continued as he ate popped another Mochi into his mouth. "Gotta admit, Humans in Pichu's World are Great Cooks... Those Hisuians must have great food in my opinion...)
"Are you sure?" Guzma questioned once more as Pichu nodded back in agreement, no doubt not wanting to get in trouble with her parents if they found out about her pranking Kamui when Guzma's around.
"Yup… Nothing to worry about at all Guzma…" Said Pichu with a smile on her face.
"…Good…." Said Guzma as the Two Friends walked away form him and Kamui.
"Well at least Pichu was smart enough to know where NOT to step her paws into…." Guzma admitted to Kamui whom was trying her hardest not to scream in fear around one of the people whom loves to tease her (Even if Pichu's not as bad as Wario and Boshi)
"I Guess it's true…." Kamui admitted as while Pichu may pull some nasty pranks onto her and Corrin, She never swoops to the lows of Wario and Boshi whom once feed Corrin Berries that give Dragons Rashes and even stripped him Naked in front of the Women in the Mansion.
But before she can continue any further, she then noticed a Mother and her Daughter purchasing some kimonos based on Ancient Hisui with said Kimonos based on Oshawotts to be exact.
"Hey Guzma, Can we buy them? PLEASE?" She questioned as Guzma then took noticed of the Kimonos, Noticing Rowlet based versions as well.
"Oh sure why not," Said Guzma with a smile on his face. "If it makes you feel better then I guess we could…"
They soon finished their Mochi and paid for it before buying the Kimonos (The Oshawott One for Kamui, The Rowlet One for Guzma (as well as A Decidueye Kimono for Hau) and a Cyndaquil design for Corrin)
Things went smoothly afterwards as Guzma and Kamui reunited with Red, Leaf, Lucas, Their Pokémon and Guzma's Own Pokémon as Kamui took part in a Pokémon Capturing Contest against Agumon and Lucas as the Trio caught a Member of the Hisui Starters (Rowlet for Lucas, Cyndaquil for Agumon and Kamui catching an Oshawott) with the Price being both a Limited Edition Fan based on the Trio of Hisui Starters that Kamui adored….
And a Book recording the Pokémon Native to Hisui and it's unique regional Variants and Evolutions.
The Rest of the Festival was smooth sailing which was surprising for Guzma as he never expected the Date went well (For a first time that is...)
"Well I guess we saw something new Today right guys?" Golisopod questioned back to Ariados while eating a Jubilife Muffin while Pinsir was holding all the Shiny Objects (Including a Tumblestone he purchased) he can get while keeping his Pinsirite as close as possible.
"That we saw something like a Digimon using a Pokéball... then yes..." Ariados questioned as he and Golisopod looked back to Agumon as he and Pichu are currently off to try more of the festival's events while the Later held the fan in her paws.
"Well let's hope it doesn't mean Agumon will try anything with us like that..." He continued as he imagined the Digimon Using Pokéballs like their Trainer.
"Well he's friends with Pichu, So we should be safe around Agumon at least..." Said Golisopod with some wariness in his voice as he munched on his Muffin. "Hopefully..."
It wasn't what Guzma was expecting but in his mind, Kamui's Happy and that he manged to Date Someone without his anger getting the better of him….
It was like his heart was starting to heal form the wounds of his past mistakes.

Several Hours Later, Smash Mansion, Assist Floor, Plumeria's (Formerly Krystal's) Room:
"Corrin, Calm down…." Said Plumeria as she looked back to the Timid Prince of Valla with a lot of patience in her tone, no doubt not wanting to frighten the Timid Prince, No doubt memories of his Elder sister on his Nohrian Side of the Family Camilla scaring him for life with how 'Affectionate' she was towards him.
"Nothing is going to harm you…. I'm NOT Going to try to give you some crazy Affection like your other siblings do…." She continued as Salazzle looked back to the Prince as well.
"B-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-but a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-are y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-you sure Guzma will take care of Kamui?" Corrin timidly questioned back to his (ONLY) Friend's Former Admin. "Y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-you sure he's not going to rape her?"
"Relax Corrin, I know Guzma can be a number of things back in our world…. But his 100% NOT A RAPIST!" Plumeria admitted to the Cowardly bastard offspring of Valla, while trying to keep her patience towards him in check as much as possible (Which given she's known as Team Skull's Big Sis for a Reason, Handling Grunts like Rapp, Tupp and Zipp was something up her alleyway).
"Look, Corrin…. I know you have issues trusting others but you have to trust me on this one at least…." She continued with her stern tone while trying not to lash out at Corrin. "Guzma may not be a Gentleman…."
"But I already said it earlier, He, Does, Not, RAPE, OTHERS! So Kamui is safe at least because Guzma DOES HAVE STANDARDS!"
Before Corrin can answer back to her, Guzma, Kamui, Golisopod, Pinsir and Ariados soon entered the room, the former two dressed up in Hisuian Kimonos (Guzma's was based on a Rowlet's while Kamui's was based on an Oshawott) as they looked back to the Room with Bags of Goods form the Festival (Including the Potato Mochi and some Jubilife Muffins) and the Pokémon Book Kamui has won in the Festival.
"So I take the Date went well you two?" Plumeria questioned as Kamui nodded back in agreement.
"It sure was!" Said Kamui with a smile while giving Plumeria some Jubilife Muffins she brought form the Festival as Guzma smiled back at her, Happy that Kamui was able to feel better after the Events of her Homeworld and the World of Light…
Maybe Dating her wasn't a bad idea after all….
"Oh, We got this for you Corrin…." Said Guzma as he took out a Kimono that appears to be based on a Cyndaquil.
"It's not poisoned or anything Buddy…. Just try it on…." Guzma continued as Corrin reluctantly took the Kimono, Walked into the Bathroom and Put on the Kimono.
He soon stepped out as Kamui rushed towards her brother.
"You look really cute Corrin!" she said as Corrin looked back in shock at this.
"Don't worry Corrin, Kamui's ok, She's been pretty excited at the Festival at the very least…." Guzma admitted with a smile on her face. "I Guess it's not much of a Date per say…"
"But I can assure you, I won't let harm come to her… You can trust this Boi about it…."
Corrin then felt a sense of relief as he and Kamui hugged Guzma (The Latter even kissing the Ex-Team Leader's Check as well) as Plumeria smiled back to her former Boss as well, No doubt while it may take time….
The Three of them are slowly starting to heal form the scars of their pasts….

Author's Note:
Well ok, I know I have been having a bad habit of Showcasing Legends Arceus lately (Kleavor Fight in WoL-DX and Blatant Focus of it in the Legendary Record One Shot (The One where Lucario researches about Hisuian Regional Variants and bringing up the whole Galaxy Team Connection with Team Galactic and how Cyllene plays into it) But I figured a Date with Guzma and Kamui needs a Place to occur and Festival Celebrating Ancient Sinnoh would be an amusing topic of sorts….
Link to Legendary Records: w ww .fa nf ict io n s/1 39 85 47 2/ 1/ Le ge nd ar y-R ec o r ds
This Story's also my first Romance DATING Fic with the Couple shown building up to be one (On their Frist Date to be exact) and while it may not THAT ROMANTIC, I Guess I managed to bring up a Valid point for Kamui regarding how the Diamond and Pearl Clans averted their Feud while her Adoptive Families only are able to call an uneasy Truce between them after Anankos was killed. (Yeah, Corrin and Kamui are only able to prevent the Nohrians and Hoshidians form murdering each other and left them on an Uneasy Peace, Sorry about this)
Also I figured I share my Thoughts on Legends: Arceus and how it'll affect the Deluxe-Verse:
(If you're not interested in reading about my opinion of Legends: Arceus, Skip to the (******) below to read the rest of the AN)
(*******)
I have to admit, Legends Arceus IS DEFINETLY Game Freak's Attempt to explore outside their confort zone since the Unova Games Black and White (Which the initial Backlash it received was the Reason why gamefreak wasn't taking more risks in their games, We payed the price for it in the Form of Gen 6/ Gen 8, And this is coming form someone whom ACTUALLY Doesn't mind those two Gens (Mega Evolutions AREN'T the Spawns of Giratina that most of the Community makes them out to be and Sword and Shield can be improved at least) and finds them decent enough.)
Sure It's Far from Prefect (The Infamous Graphics debate that was also another bashing point Sword and Shield got besides the Dexit Drama (For the Love of Arceus, Sword and Shield's Hatred was like when Sonic Boom revealed the Redesigns of the Sonic Cast, It was the Major flaw they latch onto for Criticism on Sonic Boom and they're proven right when the game came out) being one of them….) but for what it's worth, It's the Pokémon Franchise step in the right Direction at the very least since we got some Lore about how Sinnoh came to be with the newer Gameplay style Definitely managing to win most of the People's hearts.
While Legends: Arceus' Gameplay is Similar to Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee with completing the Pokedex being the main objective, It's nice to see we can still catch Pokémon in the Old Battling way or resorting to sneak attacks with Berries and Smoke Bombs to ambush them with our Pokéballs, Same with filling out the Pokédex entries which while not for everyone, Was a Great way to make it feel like we're TRULY Researching the Pokémon and heck, It's Semi Open World once we get past the Tutorials at least! ;)
Heck, I say the Alpha Pokémon Concept are a Pretty cool addition to allow extra collecting beyond shiny Pokémon (Even combining both is an understatement at the very least….) Plus the Noble Battles are a neat touch as well (Pity we didn't get more but for what is worth, It's nice to see Pokémon ACTUALLY Prove they're not going down the Same way as Disney/DC/Marvel/Star Wars at least if Legends: Arceus Sales and Popularity is anything…)
Plus, It's Post Game is Actually pretty good form what I seen….
In terms of Story, I have to admit you can see some similarities with the Film Version of the How to train your Dragon Series (The Theme connecting them and Legends: Arceus is how we (the Protagonists) and Hicup managed to bridge together Humans and Pokémon/Dragons) and It may not be the Shakespearean we're been expecting, It's at least pretty good for what it's worth…. (Heck, Who Knows What they can do with Legends: Kyurem since Gen 5's the Story Gen after all, would be interesting how they Handle the Original Dragon that was once Reshriam/Zekrom/Kyurem)
That said, I have the Staff on Legends: Arceus some credit with Cyllene and (SPOILERS!) having her Stay Good throughout all of Legends: Arceus is a nice touch (A bit on the tragic side of things given how her bloodline lead to someone like Cyrus) despite sharing her Descendant's Bluntness while having (ALSO SPOILERS!) Kamado and Volo be the Actual Bad Guys though for the former's more out of Paranoia that does more harm then good (Especially pulling the Infamous Exile form Jubilife Village ala what happens in the Rescue Mystery Dungeon Games (A lot of us likely still haven't forgiven Lombre and Bellsprout in the Rescue Team Versions however given the Former threw a Punch at us in the Original Versions of those games)
At least Lavanton and Rei/Akari (As well as Cyllene to some extent she at least sent her Abra to watch over us, Showing us yes, She's on our side at least) shown worry for us at least but while it may not Miraculous Ladybug/Ash Betrayal Fic levels of Bad due to him apologizing (After we Kicked he and his Pokémon's Butts in the Main Game) and having his actions reflected in LA's Post Game…. I can see Kamado not being let off the Hook that easily by the Fans given the events that the Infamous Chameleon Episode did on Marninette's Class (Adrien and Alya especially) and the ML Fandom's still braing a grudge against them (Including the Afromentioned Adrien and Alya) and the source of why the Salt Fics are a thing (Which surprisingly didn't get compared to the Who Knows How Many Ash Betrayal Fics out there given both dealt with the Main Character getting betrayed by their Friends and becoming an Overpowered Edgelord in the Process to get vengeance against those former Friends, Heck, Betrayal Fics are a Reason why I avoided writing directly about Ash in a way...)
Speaking of which, Arceus Himself:
While he never Directly Impacts the Story as some of us were hoping for…. He does appear to trust the Protagonist to help Bridged the Humans and Pokémon together (Which we the Players were successful of doing despite Kamado's Paranoia getting the better of him) and after we managed to do what he wants us to do, He ultimately decides battle with us (and send a Fragment of himself to travel alongside us, Yeah I guess we now know that the Arceus (and by somewhat extension: Legendries in the Remakes) we got was basically a Fragment of the Real Deal (I'm not sure, But feel free to correct me on this)…. Interesting Lore there I have to admit (Same with the Whole Pokémon Being able to Naturally Shrink down and hence, able to fit into Pokéballs (Might be extra Justification why Digimon can't be captured into Pokéballs since they lack the Shrinking feature alongside their data being incompatible with Pokeballs) as well as the Hall of Origin now having the Pattern of the Mystic Stage of the Sinjoh Ruins, And Basically Confirming that Game Freak DIDN'T Forget about Heart Gold/Soul Sliver) and It also justify having basically the Poke-Verse God with us and NOT break Realty in the process because of this…. (May make some Fics Outdated but I already shared my piece on why they may have did it to keep the Pokémon World in Check)
Still, While the TRUE Arceus (That we saw at the Beginning of the Games) may be out of reach of our reaches for now…. We FINALLY have the Game staring him (Helps that regardless of how one feels about the Graphics, Legends: Arceus is definitely a Step in the Right Direction which compared to Sword and Shield.
Heck, I'm personally excited to see more Legends Games to not only see the New Formula of Pokémon Perfected (Meaning if People liked it, It means Gamefreak can Make it better for later Games and People won't be Bashing on them 24/7) but also see the Legends of other Regions like Unova unfold since we can FINALLY See that Original Dragon that was once Reshriam, Zekrom and Kyurem (As well as Potential Kalos Redemption for Legends: Zygrade)
That Said, I have to admit, The Ideal Situation for Pokémon would be to Make Both traditional and Legends Format Games to please both sides of the Fanbase with Competive Battling Lovers handling the Former Style while those whom love Lore and Story to settle with the Latter Format.
Though I do wonder how they're handling A Theoretical Legends: Rayquaza however as given the Existence of the Photos of Maxie and Archie's Ancestors found in the Diamond and Pearl Clan tents shown them in their Original Ruby/Sapphire Designs and not the Updated Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire ones…
Now while ORAS may not be on the Same Level of Heart Gold and Soul Sliver (Again, As someone whom Defends the Former, It makes enjoying the Latter Games a little harder given how Aggressive fans can be about ORAS), it's definitely not as Bad as say Digimon Adventure 02 (Given how the 02 Kids were Treated in Tri and Last Evolution) and Sonic Boom….
But Personally, ORAS has the Larger more Usable Lore for a Legends Game since One: We can be the Draconoid that Mega Evolved Rayquaza against Primal Groudon and Primal Kyorge and Two: I'll be a good way to Truly Connect Hoeen and Kalos together since while the Latter was the Reason for Mega Evolution's Existance, It'll be interesting to confirm that yes, Rayquaza WAS TRULY The First Pokémon to Mega Evolve as well as explore the Draconoids some more (and maybe help make them more likeable after Zinnia may have tarnish their potential fandom due to her little comment about the Pokémon-Mutiverse that more or less pissed off the Fanbase, though not as badly as the Dexit Stuff…..)
Though with how Kamado and Volo are antagonists while Cyllene was one of our Allies in Legends: Arceus, It'll be interesting to see how Other Potential Legends Games handle potential Ancestors,
While Maxie and Archie (As Well as Alder) may have Ancestral ties to Hisui due to the Aforementioned Diamond/Pearl Clan Pictures, It does beg how Legends: Rayquaza/Legends: Kyurem will handle them (and whether Game Freak will NOT Consider ORAS a Waste of Space like Digimon 02/Sonic 06/Sonic Boom/The Star Wars sequel Trilogy given the Mystic Stage Pattern used in the Hall of Origin in Legends: Arceus meaning Yes, HGSS was Remembered by Game Freak, Hopefully they'll do the Same with Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire at least…..)
Though despite this, I won't be surprised if Legends: Kyurem would confirm that Ghetsis' Bloodline has always a Bad Apple form Day One compared to the others Villain Team Leader's (Save Giovanni's) Potential Ancestors, But I Also won't be surprised if Ghetsis' ancestor is the Polar Opposite of him….
Though a Potential third Option would be for Gamefreak to make Ghetsis' Ancestor appear to be a Nice Guy form the Start before revealing his True Colors down the Line ala Volo but I can see them avoiding that option for now to avoid being predictable….
Who knows, Maybe it'll be DRAYDEN'S ANCESTOR whom would be the Bad Guy of a Potential Legends: Kyurem….
TL: DR, Regardless of how one Feels about Legends Arceus' Graphics, It's definitely a step in the Right Direction for More Potential Games in that style (And Given the Larger Sales and More Positive Feedback (Managing to get to People's top 3/5 at least) form the Fans (Case in Point: Arlo and Distant Kingdom) compared to the Sonic Boom/06/Forces Levels of Hate that Sword and Shield has received, Proving that Yes, Gamefreak's not as Deaf as one may think and the Sales of Legends Arceus would be a good indicator for what Gamefreak thinks the Fans would want and since it didn't backfire as Badly as Black and White's Intial release, It's safe to say we FINALLY got the innovation that Pokémon Fans been wanting for so long and while it may not be Prefect, It's the Light at the end of the Tunnel for those whom became Cynical of Pokémon since X and Y's Release at the very Least…..

And Now for how Legends: Arceus will effect Deluxe-Verse Content (And Galarian Awakening):
For WoL-DX And Unsung Heroes, Not Much besides the Kleavor Fight for now, Since we now know what the Other Four Nobles are… I can save them for future Mini Bosses, Though I do have Ideas to use the Three Hisui Starters' Final Evos however for the Main WoL Story (And they won't be Spirits however)
But! I can confirm we may see elements of Legends Arceus may be involved in the Post WoL-DX Stories but more in the Lines of Hisuian Pokémon appearing as part of the Story of the Cults of Dharkon/Galeem, Their Masters and Lucina/Shulk.
The Same can be said for Galarian Awakening, While there may nods to Legends: Arceus in Galarian Awakening's Main Story, It's not really impacting anything of that Story and while GA's Sequel would have elements of Legends: Arceus (EG: Hisuian Pokémon Showing up in the Modern Era), I won't be having Lucina and Morgan being Sent to Sinnoh's Past by Arceus but All I can is that Said Sequel can basically be seen as an Adaptation of Sword and Shield's Post Game with Elements of Legends Arceus and Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl in it…. But I won't spoil anymore of it…..
(******)
Ok, I know it's been a Long AN Review about me Reviewing Legends: Arceus and the Possible Future Legends Games (Come on, Legends: Arceus Sold Surprisingly well plus add on the More Positive Reception it has gotten compared to X and Y/Sword and Shield, It should allow GameFreak to know that Legends Style Games are something the Fans been wanting. (Though I think the Best way to please both fans is to have Legends Style Games be One Series and Classic Tradtional Games be another so you don't cause an unbalance betweent the fans)
Overall, Is there anything I can improve on?
If not, Take Care and See Ya! ;)
