Welcome to my Pokémon AU blog: Striking Chances!
About Story and AU:
It is a hobby story inspired by my early experiences with role playing with friends online. I’ve decided to use that inspiration to create some ocs and make some characters based off of it after creating what I think is a pretty compelling plot!
The AU centers on Cyra who was a lone raichu gets into an unexpected predicament when a force that cannot be reckoned with gets in her way of her destiny. Inexperienced, Cyra must set goals for herself, put her determination to the test, find ways to pull through her fears and learn how to fight to avenge her loved ones with the help of her friends who she must help fight and protect.
The story specifically may have dark/cruel themes and moderate profanity. The story itself will provide more of an explanation and depth around the characters. It is also a long fic and slow-build so it may take a bit to get to the plot’s summary.
Link to My Story (Ao3) is Here!
Note: The blog will still be active though and those who aren’t interested are very welcome to follow and ask about the characters, their interactions or just the story itself.
AU Explanation:
The AU focuses on a separate reality that Arceus has crafted where only and exclusively pokémon live separately from trainers. The “Forbidden Realm” (as they call it) is where humans and pokémon live together and “The Realm of Purity” is exclusive to pokémon only. Due to pokémon already being intelligent creatures, many of them have adapted well and many have developed different markings or even maintain a few details from their pre-evolutions or regional variants for some unknown reason; also making them in a way closer to their real-life animal counterparts. Even though The World of Purity is a bit different, pokémon still can but very little know of a way to travel to that world where humans and pokémon unite (very little few know about it but most others believe it is a myth). Many manmade pokémon species like porygon or klink as examples do not live in that realm but they may have species similar to convergent pokémon which I may or may not explore as it isn’t the focus but it sounds logical.
Since this is an AU, hence a spinoff from both the games and the anime, it may utilize information and logic relevant from both of them. Unfortunately most (not all) pokémon and elements/mechanics featured will mostly be from Gen 1-7. This is due to the AU/story being developed years prior and those are the generations I am most familiar with. Although there may be a species, an attack (depicted in my interpretation of course!) or a reference to the latest generations however.
Ask box status: Open!
All kinds of questions are fine as long as they are relevant and are not rude or nsfw. And YES I LOVE CRACK CROSSOVERS TOO!
Art Trades/Commissions/Requests (specifically requests OUTSIDE the AU) will be ignored as that info is provided on my main blog and are not relevant to my AU at all.

Blog, Characters and Story are still in an ongoing process.
I must also add, a few of my friends have said that my AU reminds them of PMD but the funny thing is that I’ve never played any of those games so it isn’t exactly inspired by that but very similar to it hence why I added it to the tag list here lol.
