Tropes
- Adaptation Name Change: Kind of. The names of most characters in Pokémon are not set in stone, but the fic mostly uses the cast's "canon" English names (except Touya, who uses his Japanese name). This is not the case with Elio and Gloria, who are called "Yuki" and "Nora" respectively.
- All There in the Manual: Some details of the heroes adventures are in the author's Pokeverse Profiles collection.
- Ambiguously Brown: Yuki and Calem are both stated to have dark skin. The author mentions that he likes to think Calem is "whatever the Pokémon version of Filipino is".
- Ambiguous Situation: Whether or not Red can speak is unclear. He usually communicates in sign language.
- Asskicking Leads to Leadership: Implied to be part of how the champion position works.
- The Baby of the Bunch: Yuki (12) and Nora (16) are the youngest members of the main group, and the only ones who aren't adults.
- Cast Full of Gay:
- According to the tags, only Rosa is heterosexual. So far among the House residents, we see that Brendan, May and Wally are in a polyamorous relationship while Touya and N are together. Among non-residents, Wallace and Steven are married, Barry mentions formerly being in a relationship with another guy and Florian is non-binary.
- While it has yet to be mentioned here, the Pokeverse Profiles adds that Red and Nora are asexual, Blue, Leaf and Ethan are bisexual, Dawn is a lesbian, Calem is gay, and Yuki is "questioning but definitely attracted to women".
- Composite Character:
- Lucas from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl and Rei from Pokémon Legends: Arceus are the same person here. At an earlier phase of the story's production, per word of the Pokeverse Profiles, Dawn and Akari were going to be this before Lucas got this position.
- Ethan is also confirmed to fill the same role as Kellyn from Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia.
- Excited Title! Two-Part Episode Name!: The fic's title is one of these.
- The Federation: The Global League Champions are a group of people in positions of authority from different regions.
- Feminine Women Can Cook:
- Subverted; Nora loves to cook (especially curry), but she's as far from "feminine" as one can get.
- Played straight with Leaf, who along with Ethan, makes breakfast for everyone at one point.
- Also subverted with Dawn, who is feminine, but can't cook at all.
- Gender Flip: Red's Pikachu and Venusaur are depicted as male in the games but are both female here. According to the author, this is because both Pokémon were female in his playthrough of Pokemon FireRed.
- Half-Identical Twins: Subverted — Red and Leaf are fraternal twins.
- Happily Married: Wallace and Steven Stone.
- Hero of Another Story: Florian, who starts their journey shortly after the house is founded. The tags also promise appearances from Chase and Lucas.
- Kid Hero All Grown-Up: With Yuki, Nora and Florian as the only exceptions, all the main series protagonists and their rivals are adults here, and they’re noted to have started their journeys at sixteen.
- The Lad-ette: Besides her love of cooking, Nora, the Galar champion, is as far from feminine as you can get.
- My Card: Rosa introduces herself this way.
- Named by the Adaptation: Almost everyone has surnames in this fic.
- Official Couple: Ethan/Jasmine, Touya/N and Brendan/May/Wally are all canon to the fic. Red/Misty and Hop/Marnie are also mentioned to be canon.
- Polyamory: Brendan, May and Wally are in a polyamorous relationship. Brendan even calls them "[his] better halves".
- Retired Badass: Steven Stone, Cynthia, Alder, Diantha and Leon, seeing as their champion positions are filled by Wallace, Dawn, Iris, Calem and Nora respectively.
- Screaming at Squick: Calem screams after he learns the hard way that N Sleeps in the Nude.
- Sickeningly Sweethearts: Nora sees N and Touya as this, grumbling that they're "like Marnie and Hop in stereo".
- The Speechless: Red… maybe. He has yet to speak and instead communicates in sign language.
- Starter Mon: The cast's starters are revealed in chapter 4.
- Red's is a Venusaur, Blue's is a Charizard and Leaf's is a Blastoise.
- Ethan's is a Meganium.
- Brendan's is a Blaziken and May's is a Swampert.
- Dawn's is an Empoleon. Barry mentions his Torterra as well.
- Touya's is a Serperior while Rosa's is a Samurott.
- Calem's is a Delphox.
- Yuki's is a Decidueye.
- Nora's is a Cinderace.
- Supreme Chef:
- Nora LOVES making curry.
- Wally makes potato mochi in one chapter and proves to be very good at it.
- Translator Buddy: Leaf and Blue both interpret Red's sign language for him.
- Young and in Charge: Downplayed. Yuki is only twelve and his status as Alola’s champion makes him one of the region’s highest authorities. However, he has to share the power with the Elite Four until he comes of age. It's mentioned that this is common practice for champions who earn the title at a young age and thus is presumed to be true for Nora as well.
- Young Entrepreneur: Rosa, who became manager of Join Avenue at sixteen and is only about eighteen at the start of the fic.
