I was considering just sending in the goriest chapter of that one mega-crossover that Falchion gutted on his very first mission, but I guess there's no point in beating a fainted Ponyta. So instead, I thought I'd dig up an even older work that I produced not long after I joined dA - and the internet in general, for that matter.

Ladies and gentlemen, Pokemon: Iron and Copper.

I'm not sure what was my specific reason for writing it, but it was probably idol worship for another artist who used to create fanmade Pokemon. I later abandoned the fic due to the guy selling most of these fakemon designs among a host of other reasons, but I figured it would be worth sharing.
The fic was structured in the form of episodes like in the anime, but it involved a Stuvian self-insert and a Mary Sue, both of which were "avatars" of two of the legendary fakemon the other artist created. There were also crossover elements involved, most notably my favorite TV cartoons and movies (AtLA and The Incredibles being the most prominent).
The concept of avatars of legendaries as explored in the fic itself was an interesting one, though, at least to me anyway.

The content itself is par for the course as badfics go, but I personally dislike Episode 9, Part 2 most of all, because it ended with Violet needlessly acting like a total jerk. The episode after that would probably be a pretty close second, due to the subject matter getting a tad grimdark and needlessly long.

Incidentally, I plan to bring in one of the characters from this particular fic as the third agent of my DIC team - though I'll save the details for another time. ;)
