Now, the population of both regions have called for an end to the violence. However, while some seek a ceasefire, other push for peace through complete conquest. There is word on the wind that certain individuals are seeking out powerful Pokémon in order to seize victory in one way or another. With Ho-oh and Lugia having departed Johto, taking their divine protection with them, now is the perfect time for Kantojin to take the upper hand or extend an olive branch. The only question is, which will they choose? And are the people of Johto willing to accept the outcome, whatever it may be?[/sub][/h3][/indent] [img]https://i.imgur.com/bHOGCW9.png[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/Ms5Spa9.png[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/Esyx8Ba.png[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/KgydboE.png[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/BZxvkIU.png[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/dpxVR6q.png[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/OAC4zbp.png[/img] [img]https://i.ibb.co/cxmhj7V/Screenshot-2021-01-11-at-8-30-39-PM-1.png[/img][/center] [sup][h2][i]What is this?[/i][/h2][/sup][hr][i]Kanto no Yabo[/i] (working title) is a story set in an alternate universe within the Pokémon franchise. Loosely inspired by [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Conquest]Pokémon Conquest[/url], some general [url=https://screenrant.com/pokemon-war-theory-explained-red-blue-no-parents/]fan[/url] [url=https://theinsightfulpanda.com/2015/07/04/poke-theory-the-kanto-johto-war-of-annexation/]theories[/url], in-game lore, and now years after I came up with the idea [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Legends:_Arceus]Pokémon Legends: Arceus[/url], the setting for this story is far in a feudal past of the regions Kanto and Johto. A maximum of up to six players will create characters that are integral to this conflict between two regions. Whether the players choose to all be part of one mission or split into two groups, each one representing one of the regions, remains to be scene. Either way, characters will be working towards creating a lasting peace between Kanto and Johto — by whatever means necessary.

In the current era, the regions of [i]Johto[/i] and [i]Kanto[/i] are undeniably different. In [i]Kanto[/i], villages which were once independent have recently all come under the same banner. The land of [i]Kanto[/i] is ill suited for farming, and so the people depend on trade and aquaculture to support themselves. Mountains, caves, and the underground itself is rich with not nutrients, but ore and precious stones - and the barren land is gradually being covered over by expanding communities and well tread merchant trails. In comparison, [i]Johto[/i] is a land full of beautiful greenery. Food grows plentiful in [i]Johto[/i], and the Pokémon that live there are just as well fed as the people. A more traditional region, [i]Johto's[/i] villages remain largely separated from each other; each with a feudal lord looking after it's citizens. For [i]Johto[/i], times have never been more prosperous. It's citizens are happy to trade the Kantojin their bountiful food for beautiful tools and trinkets produced in the neighboring region. For many in [i]Kanto[/i] however, this arrangement is not good enough. Years of seeing that the grass really is greener on the other side has bred resentment in the hearts of some Kantojin...

[i]Johto[/i] is the perfect environment for these fruits to grow in, and oh do they thrive there. Many different colors and varieties can be found in every corner of the region. The opposite is true in [i]Kanto[/i]: poor soil quality means that even berries hardly grow there, let alone apricorns. Apricorns are the easiest known method of taming a wild Pokémon, their hard flesh transformed into holding areas known as "Pokémon Balls." Because of this, only the most wealthy or lucky Kantojin able to import apricorns are seen wielding Pokémon Balls, and thus their families owning more than one or two Pokémon.[/cell][cell][img]https://i.imgur.com/mO0G2SD.png[/img][color=2e2c2c].....................................................[/color][/cell][/row][/table][table][row][sup][h3][b][color=2e2c2c]▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅[/color][right][color=2e2c2c]▅▅▅▅▅▅[/color][/right][/b][/h3][/sup][/row][row][cell][img]https://i.ibb.co/cDSjhtL/30336949eb4c5c1fe0e8257937dd1e73.jpg[/img][color=2e2c2c].....................................................[/color][/cell][cell]The major issue between the two regions are the legendary Pokémon [b][color=gold]Ho-Oh[/color][/b] and [b][color=silver]Lugia[/color][/b]. Huge, wise, and immensely powerful, these Pokémon make their roost deep in the heart of [i]Johto[/i] where the people worship them as benevolent deities. It's commonly thought that Ho-oh and Lugia look after the region they live in, ensuring bountiful summers and mild winters, and providing sunlight and rainfall as needed. In return, priests maintain the [color=CD853F]Brass[/color] and [color=DCDCDC][b]Tin[/b][/color] Towers where these Pokémon live, and regularly travel to the top to gift offerings and obtain wisdom. People from all over [i]Johto[/i] and even [i]Kanto[/i] make the trek to the towers for a chance to be personally blessed by the Pokémon. With no such Pokémon in [i]Kanto[/i], the people are left to fend for themselves. Emissaries of Ho-Oh and Lugia were thought to live in [i]Kanto[/i], but these mysterious Pokémon live in solitude and rarely show themselves - when they do, they bring not peace but thunderous storms. It is plain to see why many Kantojin feel their region was unfairly forsaken, and harbor envy for those that live on the other side of the mountain.[/cell][/row][/table][sup][h2][i]Currently[/i][/h2][/sup][hr][img]https://i.imgur.com/uuat5wF.png[/img] [sup][h2][i]Where You Come In[/i][/h2][/sup][hr][center][img]https://i.imgur.com/FDTZBRB.png[/img][img][/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/FNjNPKG.png[/img][/center] [hr][sup][i]Image Sources[/i][indent][url=https://www.pokemoncenter-online.com/?p_cd=4521329205410][1][/url][url=https://www.etsy.com/listing/492630297/map-of-the-kanto-and-johto-regions?show_sold_out_detail=1&ref=nla_listing_details][2][/url][url=https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/EP143][3][/url][url=https://www.deviantart.com/shadeofshinon][4][/url][url=https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Burned_Tower][5][/url][url=https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Hero][6][/url][url=https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Heroine][7][/url][/indent][/sup] [/hider][/hider]
