THE VANGUARD | THE SLUMBERING SWORD

He was forged in the shadows to be a living weapon. But after tearing down the world's criminal empires and securing a hard-fought peace, Vanguard Commander Y/N L/N has finally claimed a life in the light. With an unstoppable roster of legendary Pokémon and the Kalos Queen, Serena, by his side, the Warlord of Kalos is ready to trade his tactical combat gear for a blazer at the region's most prestigious and elite academy.

However, the shadows of the Pokémon world never truly sleep.

When a mysterious and ancient threat known only as the "Slumbering Sword" begins to stir deep beneath the academy grounds, localized kinetic anomalies threaten to tear the Kalos region apart. Recognizing the apocalyptic danger, the International League quietly enrolls the planet's most dangerous prodigies into the school. Now, surrounded by a newly formed "Class 1-A" of legendary Champions including Red, Blue, Ethan, Silver, and Ash Y/N must lead the ultimate strike team from the inside.

Forced to balance aristocratic rivals, exams, and a brewing subterranean war, Y/N must tap into the ruthless lethality he tried to leave behind. He may be playing the role of an academy student, but the Vanguard is always watching. If the hidden enemies of the academy threaten his Queen or his peace, the Warlord of Kalos will draw his blade and remind the universe exactly why he is its absolute shield.
