My Hero Pokedamia

by Zayden StormVoid

Izuku realized at a young age that all men are not created equal. They aren't treated equal either. Some people have more power over others. The same can be said for the wondrous, mysterious creatures that inhabited the world before Quirks: Pokemon. This is the story of Izuku Midoriya, in this world of Quirks and Pokemon, and his path to become the Very Best, like No One Ever Was.

Chapter 12

TOP OF THE MORNING TO YOU LADIES, THE NAME'S ZAYDEN STORMVOID AND I'M BACK AT IT AGAIN WITH ANOTHER CHAPTER OF MY HERO POKEDAMIA!

Last time, we had the Large chapter where we officially meet Tengoku Taishi, the class's first Pokemon-centered class, their Pokemon Battles between each other, and finally the climatic Pokemon battle between Izuku Midoriya and Shoto Todoroki. It was by far the longest chapter that i have ever written for this story, so I hope I can be excused for not revealing All the 61 Pokemon that Class 1-A has, and yes that is how many Pokemon there are among the combined students for the unofficial requirement of 3 Pokemon for each student. Now in this chapter, we will have the final Pokemon battle of Serena vs Bakugou, and the score she is set to settle with him.

But before we get started with the reviews and the chapter, I wanted to ask you guys something. How do you guys feel about the recent Pokemon games revealed of Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl and Pokemon Legends Arceus? Personally, I am rather excited for both types of games, but I do have my concerns, mostly towards the Gen 4 remakes. This is a sentiment that many others have expressed so far and that is that Gen 4 is basically to be a complete remaster of Gen 4 than a remake. The difference between the two is not just the quality and engine of the game but also the story, game mechanics, and new additions. For example, Gen 3 remakes known as Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire brought in Mega Evolutions, Primal alternate forms of Groudon and Kyogre, the Delta Episode with Mega Rayquazza, flying around with Mega Latios/Latias, and the Battle Resort, the story was really similar to the firsts in Gen 3 but they added some new stuff to enhance it.

My biggest concern is that this Gen 4 remake will not include anything more than a new art style and 3D Pokemon battles, and its going to be the same story as Diamond and Pearl's. I would really like if for this Gen 4 remake to either bring back the return of Mega Evolutions, make new forms for Dialga and Palkia like Giratina's, a post game about Giratina, if Legends Arceus doesn't count, and/or even bring the Dynamaxing into Sinnoh, just something. But that's just my opinion. I want to hear what you guys feel. Are you worried, do you think my fears make sense, do you like the direction Gamefreak is going? Let me know in the comments.

But now finally, to the reviews!

Guest: Koda definitely is more powerful than his canon self, but there are limitations to his powers, such Bug and Psychic Types have slight resistance to his powers, and Dark Types are straight up immune, as well as possibly the Legendary and Mythical Pokemon when they appear. Izuku will have more Pokemon going forward and possibly more than the standard 6, basically having as much as All Might or even more. As for Taishi, that's something you will have to wait and see.

Xerzo LotCN: As the story progresses, we will be seeing more of the interactions that Izuku had with Serena and Momo during the timeskips. As for Iida having a Lucario, the two are similar, such as incredibly fast speeds, powerful attacks, its combination of Steel and Fighting type fits Iida perfectly, and Lucario's are usually stone cold and determined, a Pokemon definitely of Iida's style, although I never said at any point that Iida's whole family uses Lucario so I don't know where you got that idea from. Also, Iida still has one Pokemon left to be revealed. As for Izuku's retiring Pikachu from the fight, yes, it can be seen as a copout for the tie, however my reasoning for this decision was to show Deku's care for his Pokemon more than his own victory. Yes, he could have returned Pikachu and still won the fight in the end when Combusken and Darmanitan both fainted, but Izuku didn't know that and all he knew was that if Combusken were to have fainted, then Pikachu would have been force to be used and it was already incredibly weakened, and Izuku didn't want a repeat of Eevee's quick, senseless defeat after his fight. Plus, it was also to show Deku's character to Taishi, the whole point of why Taishi had the students face each other in Pokemon battles, to see the trust, bond, and car between Trainer and Pokemon. Also, I'm not sure if I have already stated this but it is implied that Izuku Did have Eevee trained but it ultimately didn't matter because of Bakugou also training Quilava a lot. As for why not the gyms and league, that will be explained later.

Kokoyori: I definitely wanted to have you all thrown a bit off the scent with the beak and bird reveal, sort of felt like it was me playfully trolling you guys, glad to see that it worked well. Do you know that actually the Flying type was actually suppose to be called the Bird type, but then they changed it to Flying after they realized that Bird aren't the only things that can fly? Also, glad that you liked Blaziken so much, he was always my favorite of the Hoenn starters and one of my favorite starters period along side Infernape, Greninja, Charizard, and now Cinderace.

Yellowpikmin88: Todoroki's expanded hatred of his father and his fire will explored later, probably around the Sport Festival arc, but think of it like you were covered flies or spiders as a kid, you would likely develop a fear of flies or spiders but that fear or hatred could expand onto anything resembling them like an ant crawling on your arm or a bee flying close to you.

Qwho & PikaMew1288: Okay okay settle down you two, I appreciate the questions and defense in my part by you, Qwho, but let's not start throwing shots at each and keep things civil. That kind of insults and negativity belongs in cesspools like Twitter. Also, another likely explanation for Izuku's lack of training prior to All Might is something that I saw in another IzuMomo fic called Thank You, by MizuTori, where Deku did try but constant bullying by Bakugou and his goons led to Izuku throwing up and having his body ache and in bad shape, where exercising and training could and would lead to more physical harm than benefit.

Pixel's Fanbooks: Welcome everyone back to another segment of Pixel's Review's Review! I am Zayden StormVoid, the dubbed Analyst, as your host and my cameraman is none other than the degenerate Merc with a Mouth, Wade Wilson, the Deadpool.

DP: Alright, alright let's wrap this up so we can get to watching the Synder Cut.

You said that already in review of Pixel's Deku X.

DP: And I will keep saying it if I have to keep burning my cash to the same people who still keep that abusing witch employed just to see this 4 hour epic.

Fine fine, just hit the theme.

(Cue Way Up by Jaden [From Into The SpiderVerse] 0:00-0:32)

Welcome back everyone and you as well Pixel, and, in the word and voice of Elvis, 'Thank you, thank very much, love, nothing but love to ya'.

DP: Hey, if there is anyone here who should do an Elvis impression, its me! Did you not see my Epic Rap Battle against Boba Fetty?

Alright, alright, cool your jets. Also, Wildcat, please tell me that the spaceship that you were on was not called 'The Skeld'?

DP: Because if you were, then *cocks shotgun* sorry Pixel, but you got an Imposter Among You!

Its Among Us.

DP: You know what I mean!

Anyways, moving onto the review, nice to see that my surprise reveal worked so well. When I revealed that Izuku's third Pokemon was a bird, I expected people to be focused solely on Flying Types, especially Rowlet.

DP: This guy was chuckling like some mad evil supervillain, like he was Joker or some shit.

As for what I am thinking, if what I am thinking just so happens to include this shiny rock and wristband, then oh I don't know, guess you will have to wait and see. Also, you are too kind to think that Thunder Shield I suddenly made up, as ironic considering the reveal of Gen 4 remakes, the concept of a Counter Shield originated in the Pokemon Diamond and Pearl anime. What a coincidence.

DP: No, it isn't. You made me track down and force those Gamefreak bozos to reveal those rema-

Moving on! Koda's change in Quirk is mostly because actual animals, as far as we know, don't actually exist in the Pokemon world, so Koda can to control something or there would be no point in him. Also, yeah Izuku and Todoroki's draw will have more significance between the two moving forward till the Sports Festival.

Well that's it for now. Keep up your own good work in your stories, and as always this is Zayden StormVoid, signing off for now. Go Beyond! PLU-

HHHHHIIIIIIISSSSS

...Wade. What did you do now?

DP: Why is every thing that happens before you say that phrase is my fault?'

*Stars at Wade blankly*

DP: Okay, yeah, remember how I said that I got into more alien movies after playing some Among Us.

Yeah?

DP: And remember how I said that I was going to be watching Alien again.

Yeah?

DP: And then remember the Film Recreation Projector that projects real life people and monsters from movies into the real world.

Yeah.

Well, you get the it right?

*Sigh* Yeah.

DP: Also Plus ULTRA!

HHHHHIIIIISSSSS

AAAAAHHHHHH!

(Technical Difficulties brought to you by crewmate Zayden and crewmate Deadpool running from a Xenomorph)

Oh and also I wish to state that I made an error on the what Pokédex Jirou has, as I intended to say that she has Generation 8 Pokédex, or the Rotom Phone, rather than the Generation 7 Pokédex, which is evident since did Pokédex info over Pikachu and Galarian Darmanitan was Generation 8 info.

With that now all said, as always, I do not own My Hero Academia or Pokemon, the other being Horikoshi's creation and Bone Studio's work, and the other Gamefreak and Nintendo's creation.

And now LIGHTS! CAMERA! ACTION!

Into The Fire

Third POV

"Combusken and Darmanitan are both unable to battle!" Taishi announced. "This round and match is a Draw!"

Class 1-A stood there stunned at the surprising end to such a climatic battle, before snapping out of their shock to give the two Trainers/Heroes-in-Training some applause and cheers.

Izuku's friends were sadden at their friend's defeat but cheered Izuku for such an amazing, well-fought match and his impressive strategies. Meanwhile, the rest of the class felt the end of the match was rather anti-climatic, but clapped in respect of the two Trainers. Bakugou, however, was rather gritting his teeth at the confidence that Izuku was showing, and the respect that he was getting in turn.

'This...This isn't suppose to be how it it goes.' Bakugou thought vehemently. 'Shitty Deku's not suppose to be this confident. He's just a worthless, cowardly, sniveling Caterpie. And these extras are suppose to treat him like the bug he is while I should be praised. That's how it always was!'

Izuku brought out Combusken's Pokeball and returned the Young Fowl Pokemon to its ball. "That was an amazing fight, Combusken." Izuku said to the returned Pokemon. "I'm so proud."

"B-But...w-we didn't...win." Combusken weakly groaned through the Pokeball and in his mind.

"But you still managed to go up against and knock out Darmanitan in the end, too." Izuku countered. "Our loss just means that we still have some more training to do."

Combusken was silent for a moment before replying "T-Thanks...I-Izuku."

"The thanks is for you and you alone, Combusken." Izuku replied. "Now rest up."

Izuku looked over to Todoroki who returned the fainted Darmanitan to his Pokeball. The green-haired teen looked as the white-and-red-haired one stared at his Pokeball before perking up and looking to his right side all of a sudden, before growling something Izuku couldn't hear.

Izuku and Todoroki met with the rest of the group, along with Taishi as he walked towards them. "What an amazing fight, to the two of you, Midoriya, Todoroki." Taishi said. "Not to sound bias, but I believe that was the best match up we've had today."

"I agree with the teach." Kirishima said. "All three of those fights were so Manly! Especially the last one with that classic street fight vibe I felt."

"I liked more the Pikachu fight with Ninetails." Kaminari said. "Using an attacking move as a shield? That was So Awesome!" Kaminari immediately hounded Izuku and grabbed him by the shoulder. "You Have to teach me and Sparky that technique, Midoriya! Please, Please, Please?!"

"Uh uh uh sure!" Izuku struggled to say as Kaminari repeatedly shook him.

"That move, now that I remember, was rather similar to Uraraka's Orbit Shield move during our Battle Training Exercise." Iida noted. "However, instead of utilizing a move and Uraraka's Zero Gravity it instead was just a one move and Pikachu spinning like a top."

"Ah yes, speaking of that technique, do please enlighten us Midoriya in what you called that technique that you had Pikachu use?" Taishi asked.

Izuku shivered in slight nervousness at the attention of the whole class, including the hateful glare Bakugou and the stone cold one of Todoroki. "Um, its called the Counter Shield Technique." Izuku answered. "I learned it from a mentor of mine before U.A. The technique uses a Pokémon's move, usually one that is Attacking based or Status affecting, and instead of firing it at the opponent, they instead spin and harness that attack as a protective shield."

The class gaped at the technique, Taishi smirking with a mad glee or sorts. Serena's hand rested on her chin in thought. 'A mentor of his. Could this be the same mentor that Izuku mentioned trained him before?'

Momo was the first to snap out of her shock to ask "So, this Counter Shield Technique of yours can be used by other Pokemon and other moves, aside from Thunderbolt?"

"Yeah." Izuku replied. "The mentor I mentioned first showed me that by having his Hawlucha use a Feather Dance move as a shield against Pikachu's Thunderbolt."

"So that's why you called you to Pikachu about a Hawlucha!" Hagakure exclaimed.

"Yeah, I didn't want to suddenly just to reveal my strategy out loud for Todoroki to know." Izuku said, rubbing his neck embarrassed. 'Damn, now that I think about it, I almost blew it again and almost revealed that All Might mentored me before U.A.'

"A smart decision." Taishi said. "The most experienced of Trainers often will make codewords to hide their actual intent in battle, a sign of trust and training between partner and Pokémon. The most trusting of Pokémon can even understand commands through simple gazes and gestures from its trainer."

Izuku nodded at that, remembering past videos of All Might merely glancing at his Pokemon before they both attacked, although, given now that Izuku knew about All Might's telepathic link with his Pokemon, it was now difficult to think which one was a simple wordless gaze or a mental messaging.

"Now in conclusion, both of you students showed exceptional strategies and trusting bonds between you and your Pokémon." Taishi continued. "From Midoriya's strategies from his Eevee and Pikachu to Todoroki's impressive long-ranged strategy with Ninetails and defensive tactics from his Darmanitan. Well done once more."

Izuku looked to Todoroki and prepared to hold out a hand to shake with the teen, only for Todoroki to simply walk back to the group, wordlessly. Izuku frowned at Todoroki's cold behavior but just shrugged, assuming he was just angry at the disappointing outcome. Izuku took that action to walk back to his friends.

"Now, its time for one more battle for today." Taishi said. "Our final match up between Serena Mariella and Katsuki Bakugou."

Serena stared at the explosive teen who stared back, the Hydro Quirk user frowning silently, while Bakugou just bared his teeth in a snarl. As Taishi walked back to his area, and Cementoss fixed the wrecked field from the previous match, Serena felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned to find it was Izuku's, who gave her a smile.

"Good luck, Serena." Izuku said. "I'm sure you will win it."

"Thanks, Izu." Serena smiled back, a tiny blush on her cheeks. "I'll definitely win this and knock that bastard down a peg."

Izuku's smile turned to a panicked face, his head whirling to see if the others heard her, before leading her a but away from the rest of the group. "Please, Serena, don't make this into some kind of grudge." Izuku whispered to his closest friend. "He's not worth getting so worked up over. I've moved on from it."

"Are you sure about, Izu?" Serena questioned, Izuku's eyes widening in response. "I saw how angry you were in your fight against Bakugou yesterday, and I know that you still hold some resentment for what he did to you."

Izuku's eyes blinked, frowning in confused thought. "I...I don't know. Maybe." Izuku replied. "B-But even so, its still my business with Ka-Bakugou. You don't have to get involved in it, Serena."

Serena was silent, her eyes shadowed by her hair. "I'm sorry, Izu, but I have to disagree." Serena said, turning back to Izuku. "When you told me about what he to you, all those years that he tormented you, I was so so angry, I wanted to find and rip the bastard apart. But I respected your wish to not go after him, and I respected your wishes and trust all the more by not ratting the bully out, but he made it My business when he nearly killed you yesterday. When he almost took my closest friend away from me."

Izuku stared in shock as he saw the tear the fell down her cheek, a wave of guilt washing over him at just how much pain and fear she must have suffered through that.

"I always admired your kindness and compassion, Izu." Serena said, wiping away the tear. "I still do, even after what he did yesterday, and I wish to be like you...But I'm not." Serena stared at Deku determined. "Just like you can't help but save others, I can't help but want to make him pay, in someway. I won't expose him, at least not now, but I will not allow for him to walk away Scott free. So, for now, just let me go face him and teach him a lesson. Alright?"

Izuku stared down in silence, his mind in turmoil over what to say. Eventually, Izuku sighed and looked to Serena. "Alright." Izuku said. "I'm not too crazy about this, and I still don't think that what he did is worth getting so hung up over, but I won't stop you. Just...just go easy on him a bit, please?"

Serena smiled sweetly before wrapping her arms around her friend. "Alright. Thank you for understanding. This is just something I have to do."

Izuku hugged back, blushing a bit from the hug.

The two broke their hug with Serena proceeding to walk to her end of the field, Izuku watching her go with a conflicted frown on his face. 'Am I doing the right thing? Letting her go fight Bakugou, without helping her calm down?' Izuku asked mentally. 'Is...Is what Bakugou did to me for all those years...is it really so important to be angry at? Or...or am I just making excuses for him? Again.'

Izuku felt a hand on his shoulder. "Izuku, what was with that hug with Serena about?" Izuku heard Momo say.

"Oh, um, I was just wishing her goo-" Izuku said as he turned around only to freeze at what he saw.

Momo, Hagakure, Uraraka, and Mina staring at him with menacing, dark auras.

"So, what was that about huh?" Momo asked again, her smile sickly sweet, her eyes opening to reveal a jealous glare in them.

"Yeah, Izi, care to explain?" Hagakure said, her expression unknown to him, but her tone one that sent a shiver up his spine.

"Yes, what was that hug with Serena about, Deku?" Uraraka repeated Momo's questioned, her smile likewise sweet yet looked dark and menacing.

"Yeah, Midori, I'm Really curious to hear what you have to say for yourself." Mina said, her smile teasing as usual but Izuku sense something off of Mina, her playful tone more forced and her eyes twitching slightly.

'Well, nice knowing you, boss' Pikachu telepathically communicated from his ball.

As Midoriya explained his way out of the girls' ire, Todoroki stared at the green-haired teen, blankly. He looked down onto his left arm, remembering his recent match. 'Back then. During our battle with his Pikachu.' Todoroki mentally recounted, remembering Pikachu's taunting faces. 'And Darmanitan's fight with Combusken.' The memories of the two Pokémon's fiery clash appeared as well. 'My left side...it started flaring up.' He recounted how in each event, flames flickered out of his left side of his body. Todoroki growled, his left hand clenching in rage. 'He made me so angry...he made me flare up my left side. Dammit.'

With the field all repaired by Cementoss, Serena and Bakugou stood on opposite sides of the field, glaring at each other.

"Send out your first Pokemon." Taishi called out.

"Go, Charmeleon!" Bakugou yelled as he tossed his Pokeball.

Out of the Pokeball popped out a dark red, bipedal reptilian-like Pokemon. Its belly was cream-colored while the rest of its body was covered in dark red scales. Its long, thin arms ended with three-clawed hands, its legs were shorter and sturdier, with three talons on its toes. Its head consisted of a long snout that slightly hooked at the by its nose, sharp, blue eyes, and a horned protrusion coming off the back of its head. It finally had a long tail, dark red up top and cream-colored on the bottom, but its most distinguishing feature was the fire that sprouted from the tip of its tail.

"Bakugou has another rare Pokemon?!" Kirishima questioned. "Lucky." He brought out his own Pokédex (Generation 2 Johto Pokédex) and scanned the rare Pokémon. "Charmeleon, The Flame Pokémon, and the evolved form of Charmander. It has a barbaric nature. In battle, it whips its fiery tail around and slashes away with sharp claws."

"Bakugou must have chosen this Pokemon for its Fire Type nature." Tokoyami said. "Bakugou's Explosion Quirk is clearly Fire Type by comparison so it makes sense for him to have chosen another rare Pokemon of the same typing."

"Wait so which one of his rare Pokemon was he rewarded, Quilava or Charmeleon?" Kaminari asked.

"Quilava has been K-Bakugou's partner since we were little." Izuku informed. "The Charmeleon must clearly be his reward Pokémon from the Entrance Exam."

"Wait Midoriya, so you and Bakugou knew each other before U.A.?" Kyouka asked.

'Oh, right.' Izuku thought. 'Only Serena knows the full details on my past, while Momo and the others only know a little. Forgot that the rest of the class is clueless on me and Bakugou's...history.'

"Y-Yeah." Izuku answered. "Me and Bakugou practically grew up together and were friends until we...grew apart."

The class grew silent at the awkward energy that started growing. Izuku's friends turned their gazes back at Katsuki Bakugou with displeasure and even hatred, while the rest of the class were curious yet chose to keep silent.

"O-Oh, um s-sorry." Kyouka apologized. "Didn't mean to dig up any bad memories or anything."

"Its alright." Izuku said, a small smile in response. "Its in the past."

'CoughBullshitCough' Pikachu faked coughed, yet Izuku chose to ignore it.

"Come on out, Brionne!" Serena yelled as she tossed her own Pokeball, a stream of sparkling bubbles coming out of the Pokeball with the standard white light.

Appearing out of the white light and the bubbles came out a blue colored Pokemon. Its head was oval-ish with a cone-like snout, ended with a white tip and a spherical pink nose, a small, smiling mouth, two large dark eyes with pinkish pupils, and ears segmented into three parts, an oval-ish blue beginning, pale blue circles in the middle, and larger white circles at the end. It front arms were flippers, blue in color before ending on white paw tips, while its lower half was simply a blue tail with white tips. Uniquely, around the middle of its thin body, there were three ruffle-like growths, the first ruffle, underneath its front flippers were white and the shortest, the second, middling one was larger and pale blue, and the final one, the largest ruffle-like growth, was white too.

"So that must be Serena's reward Pokemon, right?" Kaminari asked as he brought out his Pokédex and scanned the new Pokémon. "Brionne, The Pop Star Pokémon, and the evolved form of Popplio. A skillful dancer, it creates a sequence of water balloons as it dances, and briskly bombards its enemies."

"Wait, doesn't she also have a Piplup?" Sero asked.

"Yeah, but it was still in its first evolution state." Asui pointed out. "If the Piplup was her reward Pokemon, then it wouldn't be a Piplup but rather its evolution, Prinplup. Am I right, Midoriya?"

Izuku nodded in response. "Piplup was Serena's first and most loyal Pokémon. When I first met her, Serena's Piplup was rather protective of her and blasted water in my face." Izuku said, rubbing his neck at the memory.

The girls giggled at the adorable sight of a Piplup spraying water on Izuku's face.

"Also the entrance of her Pokemon was another Seal, right?" Sato asked.

"Oui." Monoma replied. "It appears Mademoiselle Mariella had a Foamy Seal that produces those blue bubbles. Impressive entrance, though my Twinkle Seal was far more magnifique."

"Regardless, it seems Mariella has an advantage in this fight." Shoji said. "She has two Water Types to Bakugou's two Fire Types, and I wager that her last Pokémon is also Water Type."

"Fighters ready?" Taishi called out, to which Serena and Bakugou nodded. "Then Battle Begin!"

"Fire Dragon Breath!" Bakugou ordered the very next second.

Charmeleon reared his head back and fired stream of purple flames at Brionne.

"Woah, Bakugou doesn't waste any time huh." Kirishima said, less a question and more a statement.

"Its how he always was. Never questions himself, never hesitates." Izuku replied. 'Traits that I always admired him for and wanted to be.'

"Clear it away with Disarming Voice!" Serena yelled.

Brionne let out a charming cry, mystical pink soundwaves firing from her mouth. The soundwaves crashed into the stream of purple fire, the two moves canceling each other.

"Now fire Bubble Beam!" Serena yelled once more.

Brionne fired a stream of sparkling bubbles flying towards Charmeleon fast.

"Blast it away with Flamethrower!" Bakugou commanded.

Charmeleon fired a powerful stream of red flames that collided with the Bubble Beam, the two attacks creating a wall of smoke and vapor.

"They are just firing ranged attacks at each other and cancelling them." Sero pointed out.

"No, its more than that." Momo jumped in. "As arrogant as he is, Bakugou is clearly smart in his own right, as well as Serena. They are clearly testing their abilities and strengths. They are clearly not underestimating each other and gauging their strengths."

"Brionne, strike quickly with Aqua Jet!" Serena yelled.

Brionne was enveloped in water and shot towards Charmeleon like a watery missile. It shot through the smoke and vapor and was rapidly reaching Charmeleon.

Bakugou eyes widened slightly before quickly yelling out "Intercept with Slash!"

Charmeleon's claws glowed white and grew larger and thrusted them out to meet Brionne's water jet. The two Pokemon contested their strengths, the two not giving away an inch, until Serena ordered out "Point blank Round!"

Brionne let out a melodious cry, multicolored sound waves shooting out of her mouth and striking the defenseless Fire Type, it crying out in pain. In its pain, it let go of Brionne who collided its watery body into Charmeleon's chest.

"What?!" Bakugou yelled.

"Now bounce away and fire Bubble Beam!" Serena commanded.

Brionne flipped its body in mid-air, landing its tail onto Charmeleon's head before using it as a springboard and jumping away. As it jumped back it fired a stream of bubbles at Charmeleon.

"Dodge!" Bakugou ordered, Charmeleon complying by diving to its right, the bubbles crashing onto the ground he once stood on.

"Wow, Serena is going all out!" Uraraka cheered.

"A point blank attack to knock Bakugou's Charmeleon off its guard and deliver another its previous attack, finishing it a ranged attack to keep Charmeleon of it." Iida summarized. "And with a super effective with the Aqua Jet, it is most impressive."

"Actually, Round was also super effective against Charmeleon." Izuku jumped in.

"Uh, I might not be the smartest guy, but even I'm sure that Round is a Normal Type move." Kaminari pointed out. "Since when has Normal been super-effective against Fire?"

"It isn't." Izuku replied. "But Round is. Serena's Brionne has the Hidden Ability known as Liquid Voice."

"Liquid Voice?" Mina questioned.

"Its an ability that changes sound-based attacks into Water Type ones." Momo answered, her eyes alight in realization. "And since Round is sound-based then Liquid voice changed Round to a Water Type attack."

"I guess that's why Charmeleon looked so hurt by Round more than usual." Hagakure said. "Awesome."

"Disarming Voice!" Serena yelled, Brionne releasing another wave of mystical pink sound waves.

"Flamethrower!" Bakugou roared, Charmeleon firing a stream of fire and intercepting the sound waves, again cancelling each other out.

"Strike quickly, Aqua Jet!" Serena ordered, Brionne once more enveloped in water and shot towards the Fire Type Pokémon.

As the Pop Star Pokémon neared the Flame Pokémon, Bakugou grinned. "You think I'd fall for that same shit Twice?! Charmeleon, Thunder Punch!"

Serena's eyes widened in alarm.

Charmeleon's clawed paw was enveloped in yellow electricity and struck the Water Type Pokemon head on, its strength and its super-effectiveness pushing the in pain Pokémon flying back.

"Ouch, that sure did some damage." Kyouka said.

"Bakugou must have taught his Charmeleon a move that would be super effective against a Type it was weak against." Tokoyami said. "A smart decision to even the odds."

"Rush at it with Double Thunder Punch!" Bakugou ordered.

Both of Charmeleon's fists glowed and sparked in yellow electricity and charged the Pop Star Pokémon.

"Dodge with Aqua Jet!" Serena ordered.

Brionne was covered in water once more and shot herself away as Charmeleon attempted to jab at her with his electrical fists.

"Keep hitting it!" Bakugou yelled, Charmeleon complying by continuing to rush at the dodging Pokémon.

"Circle him and fire Bubble Beam!" Serena commanded.

Brionne, still soaring with Aqua Jet, circled around the Fire Type before firing a barrage of sparkling bubbles that quickly surrounded him and grew closer.

"Destroy them all with Dragon Breath!" Bakugou roared.

Charmeleon roared out another stream of purple fire and spun around to destroy all the bubbles, yet surrounded him in smoke and vapor.

"Round!" Serena yelled.

Out of the vapor, the multicolored sound waves appeared out and slammed into Charmeleon, causing him to cry out in pain.

"Clear the it away with Dragon Breath and charge it with Thunder Punch!" Bakugou yelled.

Charmeleon roared another purple fire stream, clearing the vapor and steam, revealing Brionne, and charging at her with an electrified fist. Brionne flew back as it cried out in pain. Brionne got up with a struggle, both Pokémon panting tiredly and covered in scratches and bruises.

"They both look so close to passing out." Uraraka said.

"I'm actually quite impressed that Bakugou's Charmeleon has lasted this long against Brionne." Momo said.

"Full Power, Dragon Breath!" Bakugou roared.

Charmeleon spewed a large stream of fire that raced towards Brionne.

"Dive!" Serena yelled.

The purple flames reached where Brionne was, Bakugou grinning as he thought Brionne was consumed by the flames. But when the flames faded, there was no sign of Brionne.

"What?!" Bakugou questioned. "Where the fuck did that shitty Pokémon go?!"

Serena's eye twitched at the insult to her Pokémon, yet still smiled. "Look down." She said.

As Bakugou looked down to see a watery shadow underneath Charmeleon, Serena yelled "Rise and full power Round!"

Charmeleon quickly looked down as Brionne magically shot out of the ground and collided into his stomach, making him gape in pain, only to be later sent flying by Round being directly fired on him.

Charmeleon landed in a hard thud in front of Bakugou, struggling to get up before slumping over, its eyes black swirls.

"Charmeleon is unable to battle!" Taishi announced. "Brionne wins!"

"Whoo!" Hagakure cheered. "Wait to go, Brionne and Serena!"

"That was actually a close and cool fight." Kaminari said. "Props to Bakugou's Charmeleon lasting so long. It must be really strong."

"Come back, Brionne." Serena said, as she pointed her Pokeball to Brionne, returning it. "You did good out there, but now rest up."

"Wait why is she returning Brionne?" Sato asked.

"It looks practically exhausted after that fight, so it makes sense that she returns her to rest up for later." Asui replied.

"Students, send out your next Pokémon!" Taishi said.

Bakugou growled in anger as he returned Charmeleon, cursing silently before grabbing his second Pokeball. "Show this Extra her place, Gyarados!"

Out of the Pokeball and the white light, materialized a large serpentine-like Pokémon. Its lower half of its serpentine-like body was colored yellow, while its upper half was a red color of scales, with yellow spots rowing down its sides. Four spiky dorsal fins stuck out its back, each one growing smaller as it trailed down to its tail, which was split into three red lines, the middle on the widest, and two white fins in between the three lines. And finally its head was large with glaring, hate-filled red eyes, much like its Trainer, a three-pointed, dark red crest rested on his head, its large and gaping mouth bore four razor sharp teeth, and finally had a tan-colored barbel and a small white fin on each side of its face. Its mighty, loud roar shook the students and covered their ears.

"Holy Shit!" Kaminari cursed. "He has a freaking Gyarados!"

"And a shiny one too!" Sato yelled. "Those things are super rare!"

"That's so badass!" Kirishima yelled pumped.

Ojiro brought out his own Pokédex (Generation 1 Dex) once more and scanned the Pokémon. "Gyarados, the Atrocious Pokémon, and the evolved form of Magikarp. Brutally vicious and enormously destructive, this Pokémon is known for completely destroying cities in ancient times."

"I can see why he, of all people, would definitely love to have one." Mina said.

Izuku would flinch at the sight of the monstrous, large Pokemon, its red, raging eyes felt like he was looking at a perfection Pokémon equivalent to Bakugou outside of Quilava. A painful memory would play out in his mind of he and Bakugou's past.

"Geez, Deku, you really are totally useless." Child Bakugou said as Deku failed at bouncing a soccer ball as good as Bakugou. "You're like a human Magikarp. So worthless."

"B-But Magikarps can still do great!" Child Izuku stutteringly retorted. "T-They can evolve to Gyarados, a powerful and strong Pokémon. O-One of the strongest even."

"Hmm, I guess you are right about that." Bakugou cupped his chin in thought before grinning wickedly. "I know! You are more like a stupid Caterpie. A weak little bug that is still weak when it evolves."

The crowd of kids around them laughed and pointed fingers at him.

"Caterpie Deku! It fits super well!"

"Weak, useless, and no ever cares about!"

"Hey, he's actually worse than a Caterpie. At least some weird Bug Catcher would catch one, while nobody would want Deku!"

Izuku would whimper and stand there at the ridiculing laughs and taunts that echoed around him.

Izuku shook himself from his memory, as he would notice Serena making a move.

Serena was at first scared of the large, intimidating Pokémon, only for her to grin. "How about that?" She said. "You two look meant for each other. Both of you have an ugly face that only a mother would love."

Bakugou and Gyarados grew a comical tick mark and growled at her, Gyarados looking especially ready to blast her into pieces.

"Hey, you guys look like you are going to explode, how about we cool you two down?" Serena questioned as he brought out her second Pokeball. "Milotic, Come on out!"

From the white light of the Pokeball, came forth a beautiful, dazzling creature. This Pokémon's was serpentine-like as well, though smaller compared to the Atrocious Pokémon and far more elegant looking. Its serpentine-like body was primarily cream colored, from its head to the middle of its body, where its lower end of its body was covered in blue and pink diamond-patterned scales outlined in black. Its tail split into four, overlapping blue fins with pink ovals in the center, that seemed to shift in color as they shifted from the student's line of sight. Three black dots ran down the side of its graceful neck, appearing almost like gills. Its head included red eyes, long, pink antennas and long, pink, hair like fins above its eyes that appeared like comically long eyebrows that flowed down and were as long as half of its own body. Its graceful cry sent shivers down the spines of the students, even Taishi smiled at the proclaimed most beautiful Pokémon of all.

"Its beautiful." Uraraka gasped out. She dug out her Pokédex (Generation 3 Kanto Pokédex) and scanned the beautiful creature. "Milotic, the Tender Pokémon, and the evolved form of Feebas. Milotic is said to be the most beautiful of all Pokémon. It has the power to becalm such emotions as anger and hostility to quell bitter feuding."

"As much as I want to keep being angry at this jerk, having you out makes my head feel clearer." Serena spoke to Milotic. "Thanks, Milotic."

"Gooaahh!" Milotic cried out, its eyes closed in a smile.

"After all the time I've seen her, she still looks amazing." Izuku commented with a fond smile.

"I suppose that you knew Serena had Milotic all along since you two were friends before U.A.." Iida said, less a question and more a statement.

"You kidding? I was there the whole time Serena dragged me to a river a few miles away from Musutafu to fish a Feebas that she liked." Izuku said, slumping in comical tiredness. "I was on that boat fishing up Feebases for hours before she finally fish up the 'right one'. I also helped her evolve it into Milotic when she finally got a Prism Scale and wanted to trade it back and forth to evolve it."

"Dang." Kirishima said. "That's rough, buddy."

"He's so whipped." Sero chuckled out to Kaminari.

"Excuse me, but is there a problem with that?" Sero paled as the girls, minus Kyouka and Asui, glared at Sero, Momo the one who asked the question. "Is it wrong to be so helpful to one of your friends?"

As Sero stuttered and explained for his life, and Serena and Bakugou were starting their fight upon Taishi's announcement, Izuku felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned to find the hand belonging to Todoroki.

"Todoroki?" Izuku questioned.

"We need to talk." Todoroki said.

---

The two stood a good distance away from the group of students, with only the destruction and battle between Pokémon audible. Todoroki insisted that he wished to talk without the group listening. Izuku, reluctant to accept in favor of watching Serena's match against Bakugou, begrudgingly complied.

Now, Izuku stood there, squirming at the awkward silence, with the exception of an occasional explosion from either Milotic or Gyarados, and Todoroki's cold, emotionless stare.

After what felt like an eternity of silence from the white and red-haired teen, Izuku said "Okay, um, great work in that fight. I'm sorry that it ended in a draw but you should be proud of Pokémon for their-"

"It wasn't a draw." Todoroki interrupted Izuku.

Deku blinked in confusion. "Sorry?" Izuku said.

"I said that fight wasn't a draw." Todoroki repeated. "You know full well that it wasn't. If you didn't return and forfeit your Pikachu in that fight then you would have won. So why? Why did you really do that knowing it would mean you could lose?"

Izuku was silent, his confused expression hardened. "I did what I did because I felt it was the right thing to do." Izuku answered. "Even though Pikachu defeated your Ninetails, I knew that he would have easily been defeated by Darmanitan or whoever your fourth Pokémon was. It would have ended up the same when I let Eevee continue fighting." Izuku peered down to the Pikachu's Pokeball around his neck. "Don't get me wrong. I have do have faith in Pikachu. He's the strongest Pokémon I know and he could have fought well against your Pokémon. But, the decision to let Pikachu continue fighting, tired and hurt, it felt wrong to me. For all I knew I would have sent Pikachu to a fight he couldn't win and for what? A bit more damage to your Pokémon's? A guilty conscious in letting my friend get needlessly hurt when I could have done something?"

Izuku stared back at Todoroki with a determined stare. "But I guess we won't know now." Izuku continued. "But I did what felt was right to my Pokémon, not to me. You can say whatever you like, whether it was a draw or not. To me, it was just the two of our Pokémon giving it their all and left with more to learn. Is that what you wanted to hear?"

Todoroki was silent and motionless. His mouth was still in a thin line, his eyes were unblinking, no expression. If Izuku didn't know any better, he would have though Todoroki was in fact frozen or a statue. Till finally, he responded.

"You are an interesting person, Izuku Midoriya." Todoroki said. "Choosing someone else's needs before your own. How very...heroic of you. I guess my curiousness can be put at ease."

Izuku sighed, a small smile on his face.

"However," Todoroki continued. "That still doesn't change what I meant and said. That fight, to me, was still my loss, your victory. It is definitely what they think as well." Todoroki gestured to the rest of the class watching the Pokémon battle. "And I'll just say this: Next time we fight, whether it is between us, our Pokémon, or both, I Will win, with my own power."

Todoroki turned and began walking back to the group, just as Bakugou's Gyarados fell to the ground. "Todoroki." Todoroki stopped and turned to Izuku, who stared at him with a smile and a fiery spirit in his eyes. "I look forward it, and hope you bring everything you got for that fight."

Todoroki's eyes narrowed at the green-haired teen before turning back and continued walking back to the group, Izuku following close behind.

Meanwhile, despite his outward confident appearance, Izuku mentally screamed. 'Oh Arceus, that was intense!' Izuku mentally groaned. 'He was so intense and silent, I thought I was going to have an anxiety attack!'

Izuku heard the sighs from his three Pokémon. 'Well I know one thing from this little talk, boss.' Pikachu mentally said. 'Confidence still needs work.'

'Yep.' Eevee's voice agreed.

'Agreed.' Combusken jumped in.

'Thanks guys.' Izuku replied dryly.

---

"Battle Begin!" Taishi yelled out.

Izuku arrived back to the group alongside Todoroki, the Half Cold Half Hot user walking to the other end of the group by himself, while Izuku arrived back to his friends.

"I'm back." Izuku said. "So, what I miss?"

"Serena's Milotic defeated Bakugou's Gyarados." Uraraka said, her voice still excited. "You should have seen it Deku, it was so cool!"

"You bet it was awesome!" Kirishima yelled. "It got me so pumped up watching those two powerful Pokémon fight! Manly!"

"Just as good as Momo's and Iida's last fight, maybe close to Midoriya's Pikachu against Todoroki's Ninetails." Kaminari added. "Man, you should have seen it."

"Yeah, I guess." Izuku said, mentally kicking himself in disappointment in having missed the fight.

"Speaking of which, what did you and Todoroki talked about?" Asui asked. "I be he wasn't happy with how you two's match ended."

"You could say that." Izuku replied. "Wanted to know why I 'threw' the match in returning Pikachu and that next time we fight, he would win."

"Wow, didn't think of Todoroki as the competitive type." Mina said. "Thought he was more the emo, 'I don't give a shit' type of guy."

"So, what's going on now?" Izuku asked, his attention back to the battle.

"Serena returned her Milotic, my guess because it was super hurt by that super strong Gyarados, and now she brought out her Piplup against Bakugou's last Pokémon, Quilava." Hagakure informed Deku.

Momo brought out her Pokédex and scanned Serena's Pokemon. "Piplup, the Penguin Pokémon. Because it is very proud, it hates accepting food from people. Its thick down guards it from cold."

"Bubble Beam!" Serena ordered.

Piplup jumped up and fired a barrage of bubbles towards Quilava.

"Destroy it with Flamethrower!" Bakugou yelled, Quilava firing a stream of fire that canceled the Water Type move in an explosion of smoke. "Now Charge with Quick Attack!" Quilava complied by racing towards Piplup, a trail of white light behind him.

"Stop him with Ice Beam!" Serena ordered.

Icy blue energy gathered in Piplup's beak before firing it in three bolts of icy energy.

"Dodge!" Bakugou yelled.

Quilava sidestepped and jumped away from the beams of icy energy as they froze the ground around him. Soon Quilava reached where Piplup was just about to land.

"Strike!" Bakugou yelled, Quilava complying by jumping forwards and slamming into the Penguin Pokémon. "Now Bite!" Quilava sank its glowing fangs onto Piplup, the Pokémon crying out in pain, and swung the Water Type Pokémon into the ground.

"Piplup!" Serena yelled in worry.

"Now slam down with Flame Wheel!" Bakugou continued ordering.

Quilava spun in mid-air as the flames on his head and back grew and spread till he was a wheel of fire, falling towards Piplup.

"Oh no." Hagakure cried out. "Get out of there!"

"Piplup, dive forwards and slide!" Serena quickly ordered.

Piplup quickly shook of its pain and dove forwards as Quilava slammed into the ground. As Quilava chased after it, still using Flame Wheel, Piplup continued sliding fast, using the frozen ground as an icy slide.

"Piplup's using the ground as a slide." Mina noted excited. "Like with Midori and Pikachu."

"P-Piplup's are not great at running by the are good at sliding down ice with their bellies." Izuku stuttered, a blush on his face from Mina's nickname for him. "She knew that Quilava would dodge the Ice Beam but kept at it to create an environment that Piplup could have the advantage in."

As if on cue, Quilava's fiery wheel form went through a patch of icy ground and swerved and shook until it tumbled onto the ground.

"Dammit!" Bakugou cursed loudly.

"I see." Iida jumped in. "Not only is this field good for Piplup, but also a disadvantage for Quilava by reducing his movement, including making it hard to move with Flame Wheel."

"Quickly, Bubble Beam!" Serena ordered.

Piplup went up an icy ramp it form with Ice Beam, twisted its body in mid-air and fired another barrage of bubbles towards Quilava as it was getting up. The bubbles landed their mark as Quilava cried out in pain at the water bubbles pelting his form.

Bakugou growled in anger before yelling "Get out of there, Smokescreen!"

Quilava spewed black smoke from its fiery holes and was enveloped in smoke. Piplup landed and looked around for Quilava as the smoke surrounded the area around her.

"Where is it?" Serena mumbled.

"Quick Attack!" Bakugou yelled.

From out of the shadows, Quilava popped out and slammed into Piplup with Quick Attack.

"Piplup, strike with Peck!" Serena yelled.

Piplup's beak grew and glowed white and tried to jab the Volcano Pokémon, only for him to dodge and jump right back into the smoke.

"Keep at it! Quick Attack!" Bakugou yelled.

Quilava would continue jumping out of the smoke to strike at Piplup with Quick Attack over and over, dodging Pecks and Bubble Beams from Piplup with its speed before jumping into the smoke to strike once more.

"Quilava's using the smoke blind Piplup so it can do continuous hit-and-run attacks, chipping Piplup's health down bit by bit." Momo analyzed.

Serena grumbled. 'What can I do?' She thought. 'At this rate, Piplup is going to get defeated. By I can't see where its coming from through all this smoke. How can I fight something I can't see or get close to?' Serena's eyes widened as she remembered Pikachu's Thunder Shield and how it launched it like a shockwave. 'That's it!'

"Piplup, time to take a page of Izuku's playbook." Serena said. "Spin around while using Bubble Beam!"

Piplup, while slightly pissed at copying something that Pikachu did, complied and spun around on its foot, firing bubbles all around him, forming a sort of shockwave of bubbles spilling out into smoke. A second later, a pained cry came from the smoke, Piplup whirling to where it came from.

"Focus Fire, Bubble Beam!" Serena yelled.

Piplup fired another barrage of bubbles to where the smoke was, leading to another pained cry. A second later, Quilava rushed out of the smoke, straight through the bubbles and towards Piplup.

"Take Down!" Bakugou yelled.

Quilava slammed his head into Piplup, the Penguin Pokemon crying out as it flew backwards, Quilava flinching at the recoil damage.

The smoke disappeared to show the whole field, Quilava panting exhausted and with various scratches on him, while Piplup got back up, likewise panting.

"They both look like they are on their last legs." Shoji noted.

"Come on, Serena, Piplup, win this." Izuku cheered.

"I'm not going to lose." Bakugou growled, his tone low and barely hearable. Memories of his numerous losses to Deku playing in his mind, from learning Deku scored higher on the Entrance Exam than him, to his recent defeat in the Battle Training Exam. "Not again, Dammit! Quilava, Charge!"

Quilava complied and ran towards Piplup.

"You aren't winning this." Serena whispered, memories of her own flashing of Izuku telling her of his bullying by Bakugou, his sad, pained expression, and the fear she felt during the Battle Training Exam. "I won't let you get off easy! Piplup, Blast him away, Full Power Bubble Beam!"

Piplup breathed deep before unleashing a large amount of bubbles towards the approaching Quilava.

Bakugou suddenly grinned. "You aren't the only one that can copy someone's moves, Shitty Deku." Bakugou said. "Quilava, Slide into Horizontal Flame Wheel!"

"Horizontal what?" Kaminari asked confused.

Izuku frowned in confusion before noticing the ground between Quilava and Piplup. His eyes widened in surprise. 'Is he...'

Quilava suddenly ducked, sliding towards the Bubble Beam on the ice from Piplup's Ice Beam, before spinning around and forming once more a flaming wheel, this time, however, horizontally.

"He's using the ice from Piplup's Ice Beam!" Uraraka said in shock. "Just like Deku and Pikachu did against Ninetails!"

"Now power it up, with Flamethrower!" Bakugou roared.

From the horizontal, flaming wheel, a stream of fire spewed out and lashed spread out towards the whole area. Cementoss quickly acted and shielded the ducking students with a wall of cement. Taishi's eyes widened before performing a backflip, vaulting over the flames. The flames quickly gathered into the Flame Wheel, the flames grew bigger and brighter. Quilava's larger flaming wheel reached the barrage of bubbles, the bubbles popping and dying uselessly on the flames.

Serena's eyes widened in shock. 'He's using the Flamethrower to power up Flame Wheel!' She mentally exclaimed. 'The combined firepower is like a fiery shield, like Pikachu and his Thunder Shield!'

Quilava plowed through the bubbles and crashed into a shocked Piplup, creating and large fiery explosion.

"PIPLUP!" Serena yelled.

Piplup flew backwards, its body slightly singed, and landed into Serena's outstretched arms. Serena looked down at her partner Pokémon, its eyes replaced by black swirls.

Taishi looked at the condition of Piplup and announced "Piplup is unable to battle! Quilava is the winner!"

The rest of the class, now watching after Cementoss lowered the wall of cement, were shocked at the outcome.

"Aw man." Hagakure whined softly. "Too bad for Piplup. And she was doing so well."

"The guy may be an ass, but he is almost as strategic and quick-thinking as you, Midori." Mina admitted.

Izuku nodded silently, feeling bad for Piplup's defeat. He looked over to the smirking former friend of his and was conflicted. He felt an initial rage over Bakugou and Quilava over what they did to Piplup, but quickly found that rage to be rather petty, especially since this was a Pokémon battle. He also respected Bakugou's quick ingenuity and adaption, yet couldn't help but feel that Bakugou's smirk to be rather petty itself and much. Izuku felt that Bakugou might have enjoyed that outcome a bit too much.

"Looks like Bakugou's making a comeback." Kirishima said. "That's so Manly! Gets me pumped up!"

"It doesn't matter." Todoroki chimed in. "He's already lost."

The class turned to their mostly silent classmate. "What'd you mean?" Kaminari asked.

"Just look at his Pokémon." Todoroki pointed towards Quilava.

The class looked to the Volcano Pokémon and realized he was right. Quilava was panting heavily, struggling to keep himself standing with shaky legs.

"That attack must have took much of him." Sato said. "He's barely able to stand."

"And Serena still got two Pokemon left." Momo finished his train of thought.

"Mariella, send out your next Pokemon." Taishi's word made Bakugou's smirk fall in realization.

Serena returned Piplup and stared angrily at Bakugou. "That's it." Serena muttered, grabbing another Pokeball. "No holding back! Milotic, Finish Him!"

Serena tossed out her Pokeball and out came Milotic once more, a few scratches on the beautiful Pokémon's form but way more healthier than Quilava.

"Battle Begin!" Taishi yelled.

"Quilava, Qui-"/"Milotic, Hydro Pump, Full Blast!"

Blue energy formed around Milotic's open mouth before unleashing a powerful torrent of water towards Quilava. The Volcano Pokémon barely had a chance to widened its eyes before it was consumed in the water, an explosion of debris occurring from its location.

The debris cleared to reveal heavily bruised Quilava on its side, its eyes black swirls.

"Quilava is unable to battle! Milotic wins!" Taishi announced. "The match goes to Serena Mariella!"

"Holy shit!" Kaminari muttered, his eyes wide in terror. "Remind me never to get Mariella pissed off."

"Y-Yeah." Sero stuttered. "That attack happened so fast I just blinked and that happened."

Izuku sighed, relieved that the tense battle was over. He turned to see Serena returning Milotic, her eyes void of her previous anger and now just looked tired.

"Serena doesn't look too happy." Uraraka pointed out. "She looks...tired actually."

"She appeared to be in a rather foul mood towards Bakugou." Iida said. "Perhaps victory didn't taste as sweet as she wanted."

"Anger and rage is a fire that burns quickly." Tokoyami sagely said.

"I don't think that saying works well with the hothead." Sero said as he gestured towards Bakugou, said hothead returning Quilava, growling and muttering curses, his face scrunched in pure anger.

The two met with the class, Taishi joining them, who said "Well fought match, to the both of you. However, I would like to point out a few flaws to the both of you."

"Bakugou." Taishi said, turning to the spiky blonde. "Your strategies and your Pokémon's adaptability and strength is impressive: however, you were too rash and and reckless as the fights went on, the last battle with Quilava and Piplup, although ending in victory, left your Pokémon practically unfightable. I urge you to show more caution to your Pokémon's well being and to temper that anger of yours."

Bakugou replied with a typical scoff, turning his head away in a huff.

"As for you, Miss Mariella, the same applies to you." Taishi said, turning to the strawberry blonde teen. "Your Pokémon's abilities and your strategies were just as impressive, though I sensed-er um-noticed that you were rather disturbed in your fight, angry really towards Bakugou, such as Milotic's powerful attack against a weakened opponent. While I respect the need to quickly incapacitate your foe's Pokémon, that is the purpose of Battling; however, just like Mr. Bakugou, I advise restraint and temperance on your anger, as you could have easily caused permanent damage to Quilava with such a powerful attack at his weakened state."

"Yes sir." Serena said, her eyes flinching in guilt.

"Well, with that settled, I believe that marks the end of this exercise, and, ooh, right on time too." Taishi said, looking to a watch on his wrist. "That concludes today's classes. Splendid job on your battles everybody. I trust that these battles have enlightened you to each other's strengths and weaknesses that you need to work on. I will have a detailed report to your homeroom teacher of my analysis between you and your Pokémon. For now, class dismissed. Oh, and be sure to check in with Recovery Girl to get your Pokémon all healed up. That's it for today everyone and thank you Cementoss for helping fix the field and protect the students from some rather 'explosive' debris."

With a nod from the students began their trek to Recovery Girl's office, but not before Momo spoke up.

"Um sir." Momo called out to the teacher's retreating form.

"Yes?" Taishi said, turning his head to the raven-haired teen.

"Speaking of the powerful explosions, you remain rather unscathed, especially from Midoriya and Todoroki's final battle and Bakugou's Quilava's flames." Momo spoke. "May I ask how you remain as such? Your Quirk perhaps?"

Taishi was silent for a moment, before answering her question with a kind smile and closed eyes. "Oh no, I just simply jumped out of the way." Taishi answered. "You can't do much else to block such things when your Quirkless."

The class gaped in surprise at his answer, Izuku the most affected. 'H-He's Quirkless?!' Izuku mentally exclaimed in pure shock. 'J-J-Just l-like me.'

"Well, I better be going now to see Principal Nezu." Taishi said. "Ta ta for now."

Taishi continued to walk away, waving his hand back to the group of stunned students behind him.

---

After the group shook of their shock, the indeed headed to Recovery Girl's room, both Recovery Girl and her Chansey quickly healing up the all the student's Pokémon's. Afterwards, the students went back to the classroom, gathered their belongings and headed out for the day.

As the newly formed and expanding Dekusquad, now including Serena, Mina, and even Tsuyu walked, Izuku was currently busy in thought. 'Mr. Taishi is Quirkless.' He thought. 'Just like me.'

'Is it so shocking for you to hear that, boss?' Pikachu mentally spoke to Izuku, currently sitting on his shoulder. 'You were Quirkless yourself a couple of months ago.'

'Yeah but you forget that I never really met another Quirkless person.' Izuku pointed out. 'I know that while 20% of the population is Quirkless, that's only millions out billions of people all over the world. Its rare for a reason, and...and I was the only one out of everyone that I ever met up until now.'

Pikachu was silent, knowing now why Izuku was so shocked to see another Quirkless person. 'You felt all alone.' Pikachu mentally replied. 'Even though there are millions of people out there just like you, you still felt all alone in the world.'

'I...I guess.' Izuku muttered mentally.

'W-Well cheer up, Izuku.' Eevee chimed in mentally. 'Now you have met someone who is Quirkless. Hell I bet there is someone you met who was Quirkless that you met before.'

'Really?' Izuku mentally questioned. 'Like who?'

'All Might.' Eevee replied.

'What?!' Izuku yelled mentally.

'Its true.' Combusken joined the mental conversation. 'If One For All was indeed All Might's only Quirk, and its a Quirk that is passed down, then that would mean that before he got the Quirk, he was Quirkless too.'

'Y-You're right!' Izuku exclaimed. 'I guess I never thought about that! Dammit, I feel so stupid now!'

'Don't beat yourself up too much, Izuku.' Eevee said. 'I admit it is rather surprising to think that All Might himself was once Quirkless too. Plus, you weren't all alone. You had me, and then Pikachu, and now Combusken and everyone. Right Pikachu? Pikachu?'

Izuku turned his head to see Pikachu was silent and frowning, his eyes looking...sad? 'Pikachu? What's wrong?'

Pikachu snapped out of his stupor and quickly replied 'N-Nothing, nothing boss. Just thinking about something. And yeah, Eevee's right. You're sure as hell not alone, boss. Not while you have your friends, your partners, and me riding on your, still hard to believe, strong shoulder.'

Izuku chuckled and rolled his eyes.

"What's funny, Deku?" Uraraka asked.

Izuku turned his attention to his friends who stared at him after his chuckle. "Oh! Um, i-its nothing!" He stuttered/yelled out. "Just chuckling at when Pikachu made those faces to Todoroki's Ninetails."

"Yeah, that was so hilarious!" Mina chuckled. "I swear you are rapidly becoming one of my favorite Pokémon, Pikachu."

Mina started scratching at Pikachu's chin, the Electric Mouse Pokémon shivering and crying in delight. "Oh Arceus, that's so good!" Pikachu said.

"Speaking of the battles, I do wish to say that you were all really impressive in your battles." Iida spoke up. "I expected nothing less of fellow U.A. students."

"Thank you, Iida." Momo said. "I must say that you were quite impressive yourself in our match, especially the move where your Lucario broke through my Wartortle's Whirlpool."

"Thank you, Yaoyorozo." Iida nodded and perked up his glasses with pride. "Me and Lucario have trained hard throughout our years together, and, while I do feel disappointed at our lost, I am truly grateful for this learning experience."

"Speaking of learning experiences, can you teach me and my Pokémon that Counter Shield move of yours, Midoriya?" Asui asked her fellow green-haired teen. "I have a feeling that me and my Palpitoad would benefit from it."

"Of course, Asui." Izuku answered.

"I told you to call me Tsu." Asui replied.

"U-Um, s-sorry, Asu-I mean-Tsu!" Izuku said.

"Better." Tsu said pleased. "Ribbit."

"Ooh Ooh, me too, Midori!" Mina said excited. "That Counter Shield thing you and Pikachu did was so sick! It was like he was break dancing. It would be so cool to do a protective dance that me and my Pokémon can practice!"

"You dance, Mina?" Hagakure asked.

"Hell yeah, girl!" Mina said with a big smile on her face. "I don't like to brag but I consider myself a dancing pro."

"That makes two of us." Serena chimed in.

"You dance too, Mariella?" Uraraka asked herself.

"Y-Yeah." Serena replied. "I took up dancing lesson when I first wanted to be a Pokémon Performer or Coordinator."

Izuku noticed Serena's voice to be rather down. "Um, Serena, are you ok?"

"Hmm?" Serena turned to her best friend.

"You seem...rather down." Izuku said. "You were like this after your match with Ka-Bakugou."

"Oh, have I?" Serena questioned. "Sorry, I...I guess I was just thinking over what Mr. Taishi said. You know, about taking my anger out on Bakugou and Quilava."

"Don't beat yourself up too much about that, girl." Mina said. "If I were fighting that annoying prick, I would have done the same."

"Indeed." Iida said. "While I may not have done the same, these battles, as Mr. Taishi said, were for us to recognize our faults and work to improve them. I'm sure that you will do better next time."

"Its more than that." Serena said. "During that fight, I...I wanted to make him suffer so So bad. I wanted to make him pay for what he did to you, Izu. Um for yesterday I mean. I couldn't stand the feeling that he almost hurt you or could have even...and all he got was a slap on the wrist. It just didn't seem fair. And so I wanted to make him pay, humiliate him really. But instead I took it out on his Pokémon, and seriously hurt that Quilava. What kind of Hero can even think to do that? What kind of person would want to do that?"

The group was silent as they stared sadly at their new friend as she looked like a step away from breaking down in guilt. Suddenly the group stooped as Izuku super sped and stopped in front of Serena. "A person." Izuku said. "Just any kind of person. Like me."

The group blinked in surprise at Izuku's answer, especially Serena "I-Izu?"

"Yesterday, during the Battle Training Exercise, I...I felt the same as you did, Serena." Izuku continued, looking down at his hand. "When we fought, I wanted to beat him so badly. I wanted to prove to him that I wasn't the bug that he thought of me as. But, in one moment, I...I wanted to hurt him. I was so angry, I-I wanted to make him pay for all the words, all the pain he caused me. I won't lie when I say that when I beaten him, that I felt a little bit of satisfaction. And like you, I felt guilty. Guilty for thinking that, guilty for doing that, guilty for making him think I lied to him. That was why I ran to talk to him after class. I wanted to apologize and make things clear to him, even after everything we've been through."

Izuku clenched his hand into a fist. "I know that you feel that you are a bad person for wanting to make some hurt so bad, but you're not." Izuku declared as he lifted his head to meet Serena's shocked eyes. "You are just a person. A person that had a moment of weakness. Like anyone, like me. And that fact that you feel so guilty over it is all the proof that anyone of us need, that you need, to prove that you are a good person. I had Pikachu and Eevee, but I didn't really had a friend after me and Bakugou's falling out. I felt alone. But then you came into my life and became my friend. The bestest friend I could ask. Just like you said I saved you, you also saved me. By being the good person who helped cool me on that beach. By being a shoulder to cry on after a rough day at school. By being there for me and saying that I could be a Hero. That's the kind of person that you are, Serena. My friend and my own Hero too."

Serena was in complete shock, her eyes the size of saucers, a single tear flowed down her cheek. Soon that one tear turned to a river of them, an agape mouth turned to a shaky one, and a guilty, gloomy Serena became a grateful, crying one.

Serena wrapped a shocked Izuku in her arms, tears flowing down her eyes to his shoulders. "T-Thank you, I-Izu." Serena cried out and sniffled. "You saved me again, my Hero."

Izuku's shock melted to a small smile, tears in his own eyes wrapping his friend in his arms. "Anytime, my Hero." Izuku replied. "That's why I am Here."

As Serena continued crying her pain and guilt out, the rest of their friends watch with smiles and tears of their own. Mina and Hagakure were practically balling with big, comical teary eyes and holding each other in support. Iida's hidden eyes, behind his glasses, leaked tears of his own as he tried wiping them away with his arm, his mouth quivering. Uraraka and Momo wiped a tear from their eyes too, jealousy, for once, not present in their minds as they watched Serena hug Izuku. Rather they felt both proud and one more amazed by Izuku's chivalrous, kind heart. Even Asui wiped a tear from her eye too, her mouth morphed into a smile.

"Bravo! Bravo!" Iida broke down and yelled out, clapping his hands. "Absolutely wonderful sight I am blessed with!"

"WAAAHHH! NOW I AM SAD!" Mina cried.

"ME TOO!" Hagakure cried out. "GROUP HUG!"

The group joined in and wrapped the two in a group hug, Pikachu likewise joining in my hugging both of Serena's and Izuku's heads. Suddenly, Izuku's and Serena's Pokeballs shook as they opened and out of the white light popped out a likewise crying Eevee, Piplup, Combusken, Brionne, and Milotic.

Izuku noticed the tears and practically begging looks in their eyes and chuckled sadly. "Alright, bring it in all of you." Izuku waved to them.

The five Pokemon rushed in a hugged them, with Piplup hugging Serena's head, Brionne her leg, Combusken Izuku's waist, and Eevee Izuku's legs, while Milotic wrapped around all of them with her large body while snuggling her head onto her trainer and her trainer's crush.

"This is getting quite a big group hug." Uraraka chuckled.

As soon as she said that, multiple Pokeballs simultaneously opened.

"Oh boy." Momo said.

The group was then swarmed by likewise tearing Pokémon, consuming the group as they cried and laughed.

---

Taishi looked out the window towards the setting sun smiling and chuckled.

"What is so humorous, Master Taishi?" Nezu asked.

"Nothing." Taishi said, before wiping away a tear from his right eye. "Just seeing that All Might chose right in choosing that boy to be his successor."

"I take it that Mr. Midoriya has once again done a heroic and kindly act?" Nezu asked again.

"Indeed." Taishi said. "The boy has an amazing heart. One full of kindness, compassion, and selflessness. I thought I saw enough after he chose his Pikachu's safety over his victory, but he surprises me still."

"I am told by All Might that it is a habit of his." Nezu chuckled. "Speaking of surprises, I take it that one you weren't surprised of was his Aura."

"Actually, I was surprised." Taishi admitted. "Not that he did have Aura, but just how powerful it is."

"Oh, how so?" Nezu questioned.

"He both sensed my own Aura and subconsciously activated his Combusken's Ability." Taishi revealed.

"My my, that is surprising." Nezu said. "Was this perhaps the work of One For All and its stockpiled energy including Aura, or is this his own power?"

"While I can feel the various Auras and vast power inside his Quirk, no, this wasn't One For All's doing." Taishi replied. "It was clearly his own Aura. One far more vast that I have ever seen."

"Interesting." Nezu said as he poured two cups of tea. "So, when will you introduce your true origins to the boy and what he truly is?"

"Soon." Taishi said as he took the offered cup of tea. "I believe that he and his class are scheduled for the USJ tomorrow. I will hold off for afterwards, don't want to distract him too much."

"Wise and patient as always, old friend." Nezu said, taking the cup of tea into his own paws. "Just as you taught me."

"Oh please, old friend." Taishi scoffed with a smile. "Your patience is far more theatrical and dramatic than mine."

"HAHAHAHA!" Nezu laughed maniacally. "I suppose it is."

The two tapped their cups together before taking a sip.

The next day...

"DON'T MOVE, YOU PUNY HEROES!"

Amidst the busy city of Musutafu, Mount Lady and Kamui Woods stood and panted at the situation before them. A large pink-shinned Villain, easily half the size of the buildings surrounding them, held a family of three, a father, mother, and daughter, in his grasp, the three trapped between his side and his large, muscular arm.

"One Step closer and I will kill this Whole Stinking Family!" The large pink Villain threatened, raising his other hand over the three trapped civilians. "You don't the blood of these damn civis on yours hand, now do ya?!"

Mount Lady gritted her teeth in frustration. 'Dammit.' She mentally cursed. She surveyed the situation around her quickly. Kamui stood beside, panting equally to her, given how this Villain tossed him around him, and her arm was bruised, likely sprained, due to a lucky blow the Villain landed. Or maybe it was because she was too cocky.

She peered to the situation behind them. The two Villain's Pokémon, a Machamp and a Hariyama, were fighting against her Gourgiest and Kamui's Sceptile. The two Fighting Types must have trained well, being able to tank the blows from both of the Heroes' Pokémon. In any case, they were two busy fighting them off that they couldn't attack from behind. The two Heroes also couldn't release any of the other Pokémon in fear of the Villain retaliating against the civilians. Additionally, the family's own Pokémon, a Herdier, was barking at the Villain to return his family, and from the looks of it, he was getting increasingly desperate desperate enough to foolishly attack and do more harm to his family than good.

'Dammit.' She cursed again. 'At this rate, the Villain's going to escape with the hostages, or worse. What should I do?'

"Never Fear, Dear Citizens!" Mount Lady gasped at the voice that she and everyone and their grandma knew. As if in the blink of an eye, a hulking figure fell down from the sky, his appearance shadowed by the bright sun above. "MISSOURI SMASH!"

The figure quickly descended and swiftly chopped the Villain by his large, muscles neck. A second later, the Villain crashed to the ground unconscious, the civilians in the arms of the hulking, not-so-mysterious figure.

"Even On My Morning Commute, I Am Here To Save The Day!" All Might proclaimed, smiling his big, flashy smile.

However, instead of his American-themed Hero Suit, he was wearing a large yellow, and black-striped, dress shirt and pants over a white dress shirt. On anyone else, Mount Lady would have laughed, probably saying that he looked like a banana, but on the hulking figure of the Symbol of Peace, it looked rather dashing.

Mount Lady's attention was snapped away from admiring the Number 1 Hero and back towards the clashing Pokémon. The Villain's Machamp and Hariyama were stunned at the defeat of their villainous Trainer, and growled in rage as they were about to rush the Symbol of Peace in vengeance. Suddenly though, they stopped, their mouths agape and their eyes rolling to the back of their skulls as they fell to the ground fainted. Standing over them was a Hawlucha, wearing an All Might themed mask, crying out in victory with a pose.

"Oh, and My Trusty Hawlucha is Here Too!" All Might said as he gently eased the citizens back to the ground. "Thanks for the same, old buddy!"

"Hawlucchhaaaa!" All Might's Hawlucha cried out.

Mount Lady sighed in relief, smiling at All might saving the day, as usual. Kamui too sighed in relief, though she can tell that his pride was rather wounded that they, or rather he, couldn't stop the situation themselves.

As the two Heroes thanked All Might and worked to cuff the Hero and his Pokémon to the police, All Might's ear perked up at the sound of another person in distress. At this All Might quickly jumped, soaring high, with Hawlucha flying by his side. "I know I shouldn't be late for school, but I Can't Turn My Back On Someone In Need!"

As he started to leave the scene, All Might could hear the voice of the girl he saved shouting out "Thank you, All Might! You're the Greatest!"

All Might smiled and shouted back "Thank You, Little Miss, For Your Support and Gratitude!"

While All Might sailed through the air to the person in distress, he began to think 'I've clearly gotten slower. Ever since I gave One For All to Young Midoriya, my powers have been weakening even faster. With all this Heroing and teaching a class, I'm pushing my Hero Form past its limits.'

'You know you could take it easy and let the other dozen or so Heroes around here handle the situation.' All Might's Hawlucha mentally spoke to him as he glided through the air. 'Then again, you just can't help yourself in saving all those in your reach.'

'You know very well that I can't.' All Might communicated back. 'What's worse is that saving Young Midoriya and Bakugou from that Sludge Villain, even past my limit, shortened my time I can be as the Symbol of Peace.'

All Might remembered back to yesterday, before classes started, on how Young Midoriya told him in greater detail of his conversation with Bakugou.

Flashback...

"You nearly told him what?!" Toshinori questioned in surprise.

His successor, Izuku Midoriya, stood in front of him, his head lowered in shame and guilt. "I'm sorry." He said. "I did want to tell him at first. He seemed so upset that I lied to him that I felt the urge to explain to him, to maybe make things fair between us. Arceus, I didn't tell my Mom or Serena and the rest about this."

All Might tried not to flinch at the secret the two shared from Inko. As well as the secret she and him kept from Izuku.

"I don't know why I keep trying to defend or try to make things right between us, even after everything." Izuku continued. "But I guess I just felt guilty is all, for the anger and damage I caused him, and...for trying to distance myself from him."

All Might hummed in thought. 'Midoriya isn't the type to show off, that isn't why he wanted to tell Young Bakugou. And he didn't tell him about One For All at all, with the exception of a slip-up. Plus, it seems that Bakugou's treatment of Midoriya for years has likewise caused Young Midoriya to develop a form of Stockholm syndrome, where he subconsciously wants to make peace with Bakugou yet at the same time feels resentment over his treatment. I won't lecture him too much but has to know the risks of our secret.'

"Calm down Young Midoriya." All Might replied. "He didn't seem to take you seriously and you didn't reveal anything crucial about One For All so I will let this slide. Just be careful that this doesn't happen again. You need to realize the responsibility that comes with this power." Izuku raised his head to meet his gaze with surprise. "If word got out that One For All could be passed down, Villains across the globe would hunt you down to take it. To keep this secret is to ensure not just your own well-being, the lives of your friends, family, and the whole world. Understand?"

Izuku was momentarily wide-eyed, obvious fear for his friends and mother setting in at the realization of this dire secret. Izuku grew a determined face and nodded. "Understood." He replied.

Flashback over...

'That just means you have to work harder on training that kid to control that Quirk of yours.' Hawlucha said, snapping All Might out of his flashback.

'I suppose you are right, old friend.' All Might spoke back, driving his fist into the runaway car the criminal was driving. 'Even if he is a more suitable host, and has already improved so much to use and control it safely, he's still a 15 year old boy. While he has improved so much with the aid of Gran Torino, so much so that he has improved what could have been months of my tutelage, I'm still a rookie at this whole teacher/mentor thing, he still has much to learn.'

"There's a hostage situation across town!" A nearby civilian yelled out.

All Might groaned at leapt back through the air. 'Alright, just this one left and I'll head to the school.'

'Sure you will.' Hawlucha said sarcastically.

---

Same day, 12:50 pm...

"Today's training will be different than usual." Aizawa revealed to Class 1-A. "For today, you will be taught by three instructors, including myself, All Might, and another faculty member."

The class was slightly surprised at the revelation. 'Three teachers?' Izuku thought. 'Is this about the break in yesterday?'

"Maybe." Pikachu replied. "Thought that was obvious from that Cementoss guy supervising your class with that Taishi guy, boss."

'Oh yeah.' Izuku thought. 'I just thought that it was because Cementoss was there to fix up the field, but I'm sure U.A. has many more Battle fields if necessary.'

"Hey, sir, what kind of training is this?" Sero asked.

"Rescue Training." Aizawa revealed as he showed up a card with a bright blue Rescue on it. "For today, you will be dealing with natural disasters, shipwrecks, and the like."

"Disasters huh." Kaminari said. "Looks like we are in for a workout."

"Totally!" Mina said excited.

"This is Real Hero stuff!" Kirishima yelled excited. "Ugh, this is getting me so pumped Up!"

"I can finally show how good I am in the water." Asui spoke. "Ribbit."

"Don't forget me, Tsu." Serena jumped in. "My whole thing is water. Better get ready for some serious competition."

Izuku smiled at seeing Serena more cheerful since yesterday.

"I'm not finished yet." Aizawa's voice spooked them into silence. "What you wear in this exercise is optional, whether it be your Hero suits or your gym clothes." He pressed a button and the lockers for their Hero suits slid out form the wall. "I know you're all excited about your costumes, but keep in mind that you haven't gotten used to them yet, so they might limit your abilities."

"As for where this training will be held, it will be at an off-campus facility, so we'll be taking a bus to get there." Aizawa continued. "We originally scheduled for Vlad King and Class 1-B to join us in this training session, but we had to reschedule since yesterday's events."

"Does he mean the break in?" Serena asked.

"Most likely." Momo answered. "After such a breach in security, it would be illogical to have two classes, and over 40 students, leave campus to an off-site location with less security."

"Midoriya, Yaoyorozo, Iida." Aizawa turned to the three. "I'll expect you three as the class leaders to keep everyone under control."

"Yes sir." Said three nodded.

"Alright, that's all for now." Aizawa said as he walked to the door. "Start getting ready."

As the students got out of their chairs to get their suits, Izuku looked to Pikachu and said "Rescue Training. This is something that I've been waiting for." Memories of All Might's debut video flashed in his mind. "It'll take me one step closer to being the Hero he is."

"You'll knock them dead, boss." Pikachu pumped his paw into the air. "Saving people is already your thing."

'I think that 'knock them dead' is rather unfitting for a Rescue situation.' Combusken spoke up mentally.

'How about break a leg?' Eevee proposed.

'That sounds just as out-of-place.' Combusken said.

A few minutes later and all the hero students were standing outside waiting for the bus. Izuku fastened the gloves and respirator mask, standing in his fixed up Hero suit.

"Hey, Deku." Uraraka said as she walked up to Izuku. "You're wearing you're Hero suit. I thought it was practically destroyed?"

"Oh, well the Support Course fixed it up yesterday." Izuku answered. "Said that someone named Hatsumei practically spent all night fixing it up or something."

"All night?" Uraraka questioned. "Man, I guess whoever they are must be really dedicated. I heard they also fixed up my helmet after it was broken."

"Class Rep." Momo interjected their conversation. "The buses are nearly here. I think its best we get everybody to gather round."

"Oh yeah right." Izuku nodded.

Uraraka pouted and glared jealousy at Momo, who had a tiny smirk on her face. Momo was also aware of the similar glares coming from Serena, Hagakure, and Mina, and even a curious glance from Asui and Kyouka.

Serena glared jealousy at Momo but shook it off as she walked over to Bakugou. The spiky blonde scoffed as she walked to him. "What'd you want, Sea Bitch?" He growled.

"I just wanted to talk." Serena said, eyes twitching at the name. "About yesterday."

"Huh? You hear to rub in your win against me?!" Bakugou growled, growing increasingly more angrier.

"No." Serena answered, her tone of voice becoming more strained. "I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for what I did to your Quilava. It was too far and I could have hurt him badly so I just wanted to-"

"Too much?" Bakugou growled. "You think that Quilava and I are weak?!"

"Well given that he was barely standing after he fought Piplup-" Serena tried to speak before Bakugou interrupted her again.

"You don't know anything of how strong Quilava is!" Bakugou roared in anger. "He took down that pesky bird of yours and he would have done the same to all your Pokémon. You took that cheap shot because you were scared of Quilava doing the same to that bitchy Pokémon of yours, so Fuck Off!"

'He's completely delusional!' Serena gaped in shock before shaking her head. "Fine have it your way. I just wanted to say sorry because I felt guilty but go ahead and yell your crazy ass theories. Makes me less guilty of owning your ass and only more sorry that your Pokémon have to deal with such a delusional Trainer."

"I'M NOT CRAZY!" Bakugou roared in fury as Serena walked away. "GET BACK HERE AND SAY THAT TO MY FACE, YOU BITCH!"

A whistle cut through the air, as the class turned to see Iida blowing the whistle, Izuku and Momo standing by his side. "LISTEN UP, CLASS 1-A! FORM TWO ORDERLY LINES USING YOUR STUDENT ID NUMBERS SO WE CAN LOAD THE BUS EFFICIENTLY!"

"Guess Iida's making the most of his new role, huh?" Ojiro said, a comical sweat drop down his head.

"Kind of think that maybe Izi and Yaomomo screwed us more than helped us." Hagakure replied.

"Um, Iida." Izuku said, rubbing his neck as Pikachu stood on his head and looked into the bus. "I don't think that will be necessary."

"Hmm? Why not?" Iida asked.

---

Class 1-A sat in the bus as it drove away from U.A. towards the off-site facility. Iida's question was answered at by the layout of the bus being more open.

"The bus's open layout ruined my boarding plan." Iida groaned disappointed, a cloud of depressed air over his head. "I'm sorry for letting you down Class Rep, Deputy Rep."

"I-Its fine, Iida." Izuku said, a nervous expression at Iida's depressed state. "I appreciate that you planned so much for us."

"Agreed." Momo added. "It was well meaning and we appreciate your commitment to your role."

"Of course! Thank You!" Iida yelled, his sad state flipped a complete 180 to head held high and proud.

"That was fast." Uraraka commented, a sweat drop over her.

"Yeah, Iida, you really need to chill a bit." Mina said, patting the Engine Quirk user's shoulder.

On the open part of the bus, Momo, Izuku, Asui, and Kirishima sat by the right side of the bus, while Iida, Mina, Serena, and Uraraka sat on the left side. The rest of the group either sat up behind them, including Bakugou, Jirou, Hagakure, and Kaminari.

"If we are pointing the obvious, then I want to say something." Asui said. "About you actually, Midoriya."

"U-Um, a-about me?!" Izuku asked. "What is it As-I mean-Tsu?"

"Better." Asui said.

Asui's hero suit was a bright green bodysuit, with black stripes, lined in yellow going down the sides of her chest, bringing Izuku's attention to her perky C cup breasts that made him blush, and down all the way to her legs. Most of her long legs were covered in thigh-high, black boots, shaped like a V around her rather large thighs, making the green-haired teen blush even more, two yellow lines trailed down the boots to black and green amphibian-like feet. A white ring with green dots around it for a belt wrapped around her slim waist, and a white strap above her breasts that wrapped around her shoulders. Her top side of her arms colored in black, two yellow lines once again outlining it, and bright green on the under part of her arms. Her costume was finished with a large tan-colored gloves with large buckles on each wrist guard lined in bright green.

Asui looked at Deku with her large eyes and asked "That power of yours, its a lot like All Might's, isn't it?"

Izuku froze, shock and fear written all over his face. Bakugou and Todoroki perked up at the comment, with Mina, Uraraka, Hagakure, and Momo staring at Asui in confusion, while Serena's eyes blinked confused before cupping her chin in thought. Pikachu next to him was likewise shocked, his tail sticking up in alarm.

"Oh Shit!" Pikachu exclaimed. "The gig is up!"

"U-U-Uh w-what d-do y-ou m-mean by t-that?!" Izuku asked, his voice practically an octane higher.

"Sure while it seems your Quirk boosts you physical strength and speed, that powerful attack you pulled during the Battle training, it was a lot like All Might's powerful punches." Asui explained. "Plus you are both Power based-types with great speed."

Izuku stuttered and looked through his mind for a response, a way to deny and lie his way out of it. He would be answered luckily by Kirishima. "Hold on Tsu." Kirishima said. "You're forgetting that All Might's attacks don't hurt himself, especially his powerful punches."

Kirishima's hero suit was, on a skin showing level, probably just as, if not slightly less revealing than Momo's. He was entirely shirtless, save for a thin black line across his chest, showing off his muscles chest and abs. His legs were covered in black baggy pants, black and red lines belt around his waist with a large red R in the middle. Dark red boots covered his feet and a half red cape hanging off his belt. His arms were bare, with only two large red shoulder pads that looked like gears.

"Yeah, plus All Might doesn't spark green lightning off of him when he uses is Quirk." Kaminari jumped in. "Which again, looks super cool."

"Hmm, maybe you guys are right." Asui hummed in thought.

Izuku sighed in relief. 'Thanks Kirishima, Kaminari. I owe you two one.'

"Still, that Quirk of yours is still really cool, Midoriya." Kirishima continued. "Its seems like a simple, augmenting type that looks and can be pretty flashy. My Hardening Quirk is super strong and can destroy bad guys in a fight, but it doesn't look all that impressive." He raised his left arm out, that suddenly turned jagged, like his skin hardened to appear like a rock.

"Oh no way, I think you're Quirk is awesome!" Izuku said, his eyes alight in amazement at a new Quirk. "Even if you don't think its flashy, it's what you do with it that matters. You could block a bad guy's attacks super easily and then strike back hard. Its the perfect Quirk for both offense and defense!"

Kirishima was stunned by Izuku's praise before smiling. "Thanks Midobro. That speech got me so riled up. So Manly!"

"My Naval Laser is the perfect combination of flair of and strength." Aoyama posed.

"But its a little lame if it gives you a stomach ache, sweetie." Mina spoke, a dressing cloud appearing over Aoyama's head.

"Wait, but Deku you said that the strength that you normally used was around 5-6%." Uraraka pointed out, making Izuku freeze. "And that when you create those large punches, its you using 100%."

"Indeed." Momo jumped in. "And you said that you couldn't use your Quirk when you were younger because it could break your body, but now you can as your body is getting used to it. So perhaps your Quirk's strength could match All Might's one day."

Izuku would normally blush at the praise from Momo, but right now he was practically shaking in fear. Meanwhile, as Izuku stuttering in response, Bakugou scoffed at the praise that Deku was getting from these 'worthless extras'. Todoroki's eyes narrowed at Izuku, deep in thought.

Serena too was in deep thought. 'When I first met Izuku, he claimed that he was Quirkless.' Serena mentally recollected. 'But when the Entrance Exam came along, his Quirk suddenly manifested. I know some Quirks can appear later than others, but Izuku's to manifest till he was 15 is still rather odd.' Her eyes then widened in realization. 'He did also that he had a mentor of sorts that helped train him before U.A. and is likely the one that showed him that Counter Shield move. What did he yelled to Pikachu back then? He said Hawlucha, but he also said someone else's name. Toshinori was it?'

"Well no matter what, if there's any of us here that has Pro Quirks it's definitely Midoriya, Yaoyorozo, Bakugou, and Todoroki." Kirishima said.

"Sure but Bakugou's attitude is such a huge negative that he probably won't be that popular." Asui pointed out.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY FROG-LEGS?!" Bakugou roared, steam practically fuming from his ears. "SAY THAT AGAIN! I'LL KICK YOUR ASS!"

"See?" Asui pointed, not at all fazed.

"Yeah, dude, I mean basically just met each other a few days ago, so its Very telling that we all already know that you personality is like flaming crap mixed with a Garbordor." Kaminari joked.

The class chuckled and laughed, except for a fuming Bakugou who had to be held back by some of the guys from murdering the teen. Serena watched the whole thing with a smug smile. 'Yep. Definitely feeling less and less guilty.'

Izuku watched the whole thing unfold with a shocked expression. 'Wow.' Izuku thought. 'Usually I'm the one getting picked on and teased, while K-Bakugou gets all the glory'

"Yeah, now its the reverse." Pikachu chuckled. "Oh sweet sweet Karma, you are a delicious thing to behold!"

Izuku rolled his eyes at Pikachu's hatred for Bakugou. He looked at the class joking and talking with each other and smiled. 'Yeah, I'm sure of it.' Izuku said. 'I was meant to come here. I earned it. I'm truly grateful, All Might, for believing in me.'

"Hey. We're here." Aizawa announced, as the bus slowed down to a halt in front of a large white dome with large blue doors and yellow gate.

The students got off the bus to be greeted by a new face. "Hello everyone, I've been waiting for you." A feminine voice spoke from the new person. She wore a large white, fluffy suit that looked similar to an astronaut, complete with yellow shoes, white gloves with caps on the fingertips, a grey pack on her back, and a large helmet with a black dome and white eyes.

"Woah!" Izuku said in amazement. "Its the Space Hero, Thirteen! She's a rescue Hero that's saved tons of people and Pokémon from across the world!"

"Whoo Hoo!" Uraraka cheered. "I'm such a huge fan! I'm so honored to meet you in person!"

"Aw, always happy to meet a fan." Thirteen replied, rubbing her neck. "But anyways, come on in kids. I'm really excited to show you around."

The students followed the space-themed Hero with all, but Todoroki and Bakugou, collectively thinking the same thing. 'This is going to be Awesome!'

As they entered the students were overwhelmed at the area inside. The whole area was incredibly large, with stairs leading to a large middle parkway that lead to several locations across the area. Izuku looked to the right and saw two domes, one at the farthest back that was red and, if he squinted looked to be in flames, and the other, the one closest to them, was darkish blue and looked rainy. In between the two domes was a large lake with a ship in the middle and a what looked like a large water slide with a waterfall. To his left, closest to them was a bunch of crumbled and destroyed buildings and wreckage, a few, dark rocky plains and mountains by the back, and another larger mountain, with various buildings and objects sticking out from inside, that was more lighter in the middle.

"Amazing!" Kirishima exclaimed. "It looks like some sort of amusement park!"

"A shipwreck, a landside, a fire, a windstorm, etc." Thirteen listed as she spread her arms over the area. "I created this training facility to prepare you to deal with different types of disasters. I call it the Unforeseen Simulation Joint, or as you can call it: The USJ!"

The students blinked their eyes. 'Just like Universal Studios Japan.' They all thought.

Aizawa walked to the posing Thirteen and asked "Hey, isn't All Might suppose to be here? What, did he book an interview instead?"

"Actually, its something else." Thirteen said, raising three fingers on her hand. "He did too much Hero work on his way to the school and used up all his power. He's resting in the teacher's lounge."

Thirteen recalled the phone call she got from All Might, who was currently sitting in a couch with Hawlucha shaking his head with his paw in his face. "I'm sorry. I should be able to catch the tail end of the exercise. I'll be there as soon as I can."

Aizawa sighed exasperated. "That man is the height of irresponsibility." Aizawa sighed out. 'Well, we should be okay with just two teachers instead.'

Izuku noticed the three fingers and immediately picked up what Thirteen whispered to Aizawa. 'They are talking about All Might.' Izuku mentally spoke. 'He used up his time limit before school. Now he can't be here because he ran out of time.'

'Seriously?' Pikachu question before groaning. 'Oh Arceus, that idiot! Next time i see him, I'm going to shock him till he is nice and crispy.'

'Please don't.' Izuku replied.

"Alright, we should get started quickly." Aizawa said.

"Excellent." Thirteen said. "But before we begin there is just one thing I'd like to say. Or maybe two. Maybe three? Four?"

"We get it." The class groaned.

"Alright alright, sorry." Thirteen said before she lifted he hand. "Listen carefully. I'm sure you kids already know my Quirk is rather powerful. Its called Black Hole. My Quirk allows me to suck up anything and turn it into dust."

"Yeah, and you used it to save tons of people from disasters by sucking up the debris they were trapped in, right?" Izuku pointed out, Uraraka meanwhile nodding her head up and down in excitement.

"That's true; however, my Quirk can also be easily be used to kill." Thirteen stated, the students lightly gasping in surprise at the dark turn. "For example, what would happen if I used my Quirk on person rather than debris?"

The students gulped at the mental image of a person disintegrating into dust and pieces.

"I'm sure that many of you also have Quirks that can be extremely dangerous." Thirteen continued. "In our superhuman society, all Quirks are identified and strictly regulated. While this is meant to keep disastrous situations from occurring chaotically, it also blinds many others to just how dangerous they can be if used unwisely. Never forget that if you lose focus or make even one wrong move, your Quirk can be deadly, even if you are trying to do something virtuous, like saving someone."

'Its true.' Izuku thought. 'If All Might were to punch a building while fighting a Villain, he could easily destroy it and make it crumble, likely hurting or even killing anyone inside.' Izuku looked at his hand. 'In my fight with Bakugou, I didn't just use One For All at 100% because it would have broken my arms, but because I could have easily killed him with that much power.'

'Or how he almost killed you with that massive explosion with those gauntlets.' Pikachu pointed out, Izuku flinching at the memory.

"Likewise, it is the same for your Pokémon." Thirteen pointed out. "Despite centuries of Pokémon battles, we often overlook that their powers can be easily as deadly to both a person and even other Pokemon. Or how many lives, both Human and Pokémon, were lost in the many wars of ancient times."

Serena flinched, remembering Quilava's defeated state after Milotic's attack on her orders. Bakugou likewise scoffed at the memory.

"Thanks to Aizawa's Fitness tests, you have a solid idea of your Quirk's potential and limits." Thirteen continued. "With All Might's Combat Training, you likely experience how dangerous both your Quirks and your Pokémon can be against other people, and finally with Taishi's Pokémon battles against each other, you also realized just how powerful your Pokémon can be. So now carry those lessons that you learned to this class, for today you are going to learn how to use your Quirks to save people's lives. You won't be using your powers to attack enemies or each other, only to help. After all, that is what being a Hero is all about: Ensuring the safety of others."

Izuku smiled brightly, taking Thirteen's words to heart, while in contrast, Bakugou scoffed and internally groaned at this 'sappy shit'.

Thirteen bowed to the group. "That's all I have to say. Thanks for listening." She said.

The class clapped and cheered in response to Thirteen's speech.

"I can see why you are such a fan of her, Uraraka." Serena said. "I think she just made me one too."

"She's so Awesome!" Uraraka cheered loudly.

"This is it." Izuku said. "The true job of a Hero. I won't let him down."

"Alright." Aizawa said. "Now that that's over-"

Suddenly, the lights above them sparked in electricity, and turned off, causing the area to slightly darken. The students frowned in confusion. Aizawa and Thirteen too looked momentarily confused.

Izuku felt a sudden jolt of lightning spark in his mind, his mind suddenly going haywire, dark voices and violent emotions he felt out of nowhere. He doubled back and held his head in pain, groaning.

"Boss!" Pikachu yelled.

"Deku? What's wrong?!" Uraraka asked in a panic.

"Izu!" Serena yelled as she hurried to his side, Momo, Mina, and Hagakure not far behind.

'Midoriya!" Iida yelled as he grabbed hold of Izuku's side and steadied him. "What happened?"

"S-Somethings...w-wrong..." Izuku groaned in pain. "F-For some reason...I f-feel cold...like something's coming."

Aizawa frowned in confusion before hearing a hissing, swirling sound, his eyes widening in horror. He turned around to see, right in the center of the USJ, a dark swirling portal manifest and grow. It lashed out and grew till it formed yellow, thin eyes, Aizawa whirling to the event.

A hand popped out of the portal, clawing and wiping away the dark fog to reveal shaggy whitish-blue hair and a white hand over the person's face, a red eye full hatred peeking out.

Aizawa's eyes narrowed and turned to the class "Stay Together and Don't Move!" He yelled to the class, who looked at him in surprise. "Thirteen, Protect the students!"

Izuku opened an eye to see where Aizawa was looking and found the swirling portal, his eyes meeting with the red-eyed individual. Izuku's eyes widened in sheer horror, a cold wave of hatred and madness sprouting from that eye.

'No way.' He thought. 'I saw him before.' His mind flashed back to yesterday, remembering the avoiding the press and remembering just before the gates were closed, the same red-eyed shaggy haired man walking towards him. 'C-Could he be...the one that breached the gates?!'

Kirishima noticed the swirling dark portal and asked "Hey what's that?"

The rest of the students looked over to the portal where now the shaggy haired man stepped out of the portal, his arms and head covered in hands. He was soon followed by a multiple sinister and menacing looking people and Pokémon. Floating by the man covered in hands was a large black dragon-like Pokémon, its hands replaced by mouths, a popped collar around his head, and six, thin, feathery black wings on its back.

"Wait has the training started?" Kirishima asked. "I thought we were rescuing people?"

"Stay Back!" Aizawa yelled, starling the teens.

Izuku got up on his feet, shaking off the pain, and looked to Aizawa, eyes widening at the serious look on his teacher's face. Aizawa placed his goggles over his eyes. "This is real." He said. "Those are real Villains."

The students gaped and gasped in horror and shock. Izuku looked to the portal and noticed a large, hulking monstrosity walk out of the portal. Its skin was dark, purplish black, red scars around its body and its head appeared like that of a Bird-like Pokemon, large razor sharp fangs for teeth, and its head opened to reveal a pulsating pink brain with eyes plastered on top. The very appearance of the creature made him want to throw up.

"Villains." Izuku whispered horrified.

"Now," The hand-wearing man spoke. "This is where the fun begins."

AAAAAANNNNNDDDD SCENE! Sorry for such a long wait, but here is the latest chapter of My Hero Pokedamia. Just a day after the Season 5 started and Season 4 Part 1 of Attack on Titan ended. I'm telling you guys, I have an knack for unintentionally releasing chapters on big days. Also, I dare you guys to find the special reference that I placed in this chapter. Hint: The guy who normally says this also has a burn scar.

Anyways, to explain some things that many of you will likely ask, I at first wanted to show the entirety of Serena's fight with Bakugou, including Milotic vs Gyarados but I figured that it was the perfect segway to Izuku and Todoroki's talk and a bit of messing with you guys for fun. Todoroki is feeling the same as many of you and sees this as a loss rather than a draw, which is sure to fuel his drive to win the next time these two clash fists. Also, Deku wearing his Hero suit for the USJ is because unlike canon, the Support Course was reworking Deku's whole outfit in design, not just fixing it. They spent so long because they were changing it into Deku's Beta Suit rather than fix it, so Hatsumei would definitely fix be able to fix it in only one day.

Also, I wanted Serena's match against Bakugou to show Serena's sheer amount of hatred and contempt for Bakugou for what he did to Izuku but immediately feel guilty over her actions against Quilava at the end, showing a more darker side of the Pokémon world in that these magical creatures are not immortal or invincible and can die and hurt just like us. I wanted this to show more of the character of Serena and her faults and mistakes, Izuku's friendship and bond with Serena, and also as a new point in how these past three days of school culminate in teaching the student's the dangers of both Quirks and Pokémon when used unwisely. With such examples of being Deku's broken finger, Bakugou near murder of Izuku, and Serena nearly fatally wounding Quilava.

Also, hoped you like Serena's and Bakugou's Pokemon. I essentially gave both of them two different Starters, Bakugou with the Charizard and Typhloshion line, and Serena with the Empoleon and Primarina line, while also giving them two of the most powerful of Water Types, Gyarados and Milotic, rather fitting I believe for the two. One is a always angry, destructive, and violent, not to mention shiny red, while the other is graceful, beautiful, and incredibly deadly if you cross it.

And finally ending the chapter on the USJ, with Deku and Asui getting closer, Deku giving Kirishima a confidence boost, and with Deku sensing the arrival of the Villains beforehand, and No, this is not the Spoilery thing that fellow manga readers will think it is. Also, just to give you guys and heads up, Mr. Nomu over there is going to be Really different than how he normally is. And ooh I can't wait to reveal it! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHBAHAHAHAHA!

Ahem. Also, just to ask, what did you guys think of the Snyder Cut? I thought it was awesome! A definite 8-9 out of 10 for me. Shame that once more the media is trying to paint all lovers of this thing as either alt-right, toxic, or review bombing Godzilla vs Kong, can't wait for that, but hey just like Thanos, the media bullshitting over and lying about fans and normal people is inevitable.

That aside, hoped you liked the chapter, leave your comments and thoughts in the reviews, check out my other stories if you like, keep each other safe and healthy, behave yourselves in the comments, and I'll see you all in the next chapter.

This has been Zayden StormVoid and I'll see you all later. UP UP AND AWAY!
