    10 years have passed since Ash Ketchum became the World Monarch. There have been many challengers that have tried to take his title, but none have been successful. There doesn't seem to be any trainers who are strong enough to defeat him. Jaydin Silver, a 12 year old boy from the Johto Region, hasn't had the best life. Beaten, neglected and bitter, he believes he is useless to the world. The only thing he finds comfort in is watching his idol, World Monarch Ash Ketchum, and gives him hope that he can be as strong as him someday. Jaydin decides to leave his old life behind and begins his own journey to eventually become strong enough to face his idol and achieve his dream of becoming the next World Monarch. This is an original story that I've been brainstorming for a while. It will have dark elements in it but will still have many wholesome moments as well. I don't have an upload schedule so chapters will probably come out at random. Cover art not mine, and the MC kinda looks like that, albeit with some slight differences. This story doesn't take place in the Our Promise and Our Promise, Our Future universe, so just keep that in mind. Well, I hope you all enjoy!

    I don't know the original story, but it seems I've possessed the fake bride in a romantic comedy. In case I was caught being a fake bride in the future, I've already come up with a solid plan to win over the male lead and everyone around him. "This marriage is just a business deal." Sigh, so typical. You'll end up as my doormat anyway, so what's with the attitude? All I did was go around spreading endless positive energy and a sunny smile, like a proper romantic comedy heroine should be... So why does the male lead keep looking like he's being tormented? "I don't like you." I just brushed off his coldness and thought of it as the usual denial phase before he falls for me. He gave me a look of resignation, as if he was looking at a wall that I couldn't get over-but his ears were bright red. Even though he said no with his mouth, his body was honest. "...It's not like I can lock you up, can I?" It seems like he's starting to fall for me... But why does his obsession feel like something out of a dark angst novel? I had no idea the original story was actually an 'emotionally destructive' genre known for being dangerously toxic. Ah-whatever! I say it's a rom-com! A healing romantic story! #A heroine who thinks she's in a rom-com but is actually in an angst novel😂 #The tr*shy male lead from a dark original story #Male lead treats the heroine coldly #But the sunshine+strategic heroine is unfazed #Misunderstanding trope #Romcom #Satisfying #MutualHealing Please forgive any typos; let me know if I missed any.

    Driss is a survivor of the Rwandan genocide. At eleven and a half, he killed his own father - a violent Hutu militiaman responsible for countless deaths - after refusing to shoot a group of refugee children and the nuns protecting them. His mother, four brothers, and the rest of his extended family were slaughtered. Only he and his twin, Djibril, remained. For nearly a year and a half, the two boys were held captive and tortured by the same militia. They were eventually rescued and repatriated to France thanks to a distant aunt. The system separated them immediately: Djibril was sent to the Paris suburbs, while Driss was placed in Lyon. He ran from psychiatric hospitals and foster homes. By fourteen, he was alone on the streets of Lyon with nothing and no one. Stealing became survival. Then came the drugs, the guns, and the darker trades. Piece by piece, he built a criminal empire that made his name feared across the underworld. In 2017, he got into rap music and created another identity: menace Santana. The music was never fiction. It was confession. This is the story of a boy who was forced to become a monster...
