Title: The Crimson Road (Unconfirmed) Verse: Games (Gen 1) Rating: R Characters/Pairings: Red, Kanto Gym leaders, Team Rocket Warnings: Violence, character deaths Summary: There was a time when competing in the Pokemon League was every trainer’s dream. To stand upon the winner’s podium after surviving rounds of grueling battle, bathed in loud lights and even louder screams, and claiming the title of Pokemon Champion - that was the final destination for many aspiring trainers.
That League is no more.
When the despotic Team Rocket rose to power, the League underwent a terrible transformation.
Now, representatives are sent annually from each of the ten cities in Kanto to the Indigo Plateau to participate in the new League where they will battle each other for the title of Champion. Unlike the past Leagues, however, these fights are to the death. The participants are forced to eliminate their competition, and the last trainer standing is crowned the new Champion and awarded riches to last a lifetime.
This year, Red is selected as Pallet Town’s representative, despite his best efforts to do otherwise. In just a few days he will be catapulted into a ruthless arena against bigger, stronger opponents, where his only option is to fight or die. Worse, he is paired with a rebellious pokemon who refuses to obey his instructions. Red will have to learn to overcome these odds quickly as he is thrust into a world that would change his life forever.
A/N: Basically Pokemon meets Battle Royale/Hunger Games
Current Word Count: ~1100 Percent Complete: ~7%
I am looking for: Both artists and beta-readers are welcomed :)
Artists: Plenty of fight/action scenes; also if possible a profile piece with the ten representatives. Beta-readers: We have already come up with the outline of story, but we are always open to additional input. There are many characters and plotlines to track, so someone who can help identify inconsistencies and disconnects (general flow issues) would be great.
We look forward to working with those interested in this project. Cheers!
