History FanFic / NeonGenesisEvangeleMon

The fanfic has undergone numerous long hiatuses and updates [[ScheduleSlip relatively slowly]] (the author began writing it in 2013). However the author's intent is to have it complete by the time the fourth ''Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion'' movie is released. There are intended to be 22 chapters or "episodes". It can be currently be read on the [=EvaGeeks=] forum, and on the author's Website/DeviantArt account, where bios of the characters can also be found.

* CatchPhrase: Gendo says "It seemed like a good idea at the time" quite a bit.

* OlympusMons: Goes without saying.

* PreAsskickingOneLiner: Sandslash loves to do these, since he's meant to be a Creator/ClintEastwood Expy.

* TheRival: Asuka to Shini, obviously. By extension, Primeape is this to Cubone.

* SeanConneryIsAboutToShootYou: In the supplementary artwork depicting it with the rest of Asuka's Pokemon, Magmortar has this pose.

* TheWorfEffect: Misato's Gyarados. Despite supposedly being her most powerful Pokémon, it loses in every battle it gets involved in.

* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins: The role of Pen-pen in this version is played by Misato's Shiny Empoleon.

* CombatMedic: Ritsuko's Chansey.

* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: The characters do this on a regular basis.

* FeatheredFiend: Ho-oh and Zapdos.

* FiveManBand: Shinji's Pokémon could be said to form one. Genesect is the BigGood, Marowak is TheHero, Sandslash is TheLancer, Furret is TheSmartGuy, Pidgeotto is TheChick, and Raticate is TheBigGuy.
** Asuka's Pokémon also qualify. Groudon is the BigGood, Blaziken is TheHero, Primeape is TheLancer, Zangoose is TheChick, Magmortar is TheBigGuy, and Scizor is TheSmartGuy.

* AnimalJingoism: True to their in-game lore, Asuka's Zangoose and Mari's Seviper are constantly fighting whenever they come in contact with each other.

* SignatureMon: Besides their Legendary Pokémon, most of the main characters have at least one non-legendary Pokémon that they are strongly associated with. These include [[HeartwarmingOrphan Cubone]] for Shinji, [[ManiacMonkeys Primeape]] for Asuka, [[PoisonousPerson Toxicroak]] for Mari, [[GentleGiantSauropod Tropius]] for Kaji, [[CatsAreMagic Espeon]] for Ritsuko, and [[DragonsAreDemonic Hydreigon]] for Gendo.

* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins: The role of Pen-pen in this version is played by Misato's Empoleon.

One day, a bored and somewhat lazy twenty-something anime fan asked himself, ''What if ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' had been made in the world of ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}''? How would the story be different--and more importantly, what might remain the same?'' This fanfic was the result. To put it simply, Neon Genesis EvangeléMon is a FusionFic placing the cast of ''Neon Genesis Evangelion'' in the world of ''Pokémon.''

Shinji Ikari is 14 years old, and has been summoned by his father to become a "Legendary Pokémon Trainer" at the headquarters of NERV in Pallet Town 3. Travelling with him is his loyal companion, a Cubone which was a gift from his deceased mother. Once there, he discovers what he has truly been called over to do. The scientists at NERV have succeeded in reconstructing one of the most powerful Pokémon of all--the Bug/Steel-type Legendary Genesect--in order to battle the other Legendary Pokémon that have begun attacking Pallet Town 3. And Shinji has been chosen to be its trainer.

Once there, he encounters other members, including former Kanto Self Defense Force captain Misato Katsuragi, hotshot Hoennian trainer Asuka Langley Soryu, and Pokémon scientist Ritsuko Akagi. The whole story is written in a very tongue-in-cheek manner, befitting its odd premise. There are numerous instances of LeaningOnTheFourthWall and MediumAwareness, particularly on the part of the Pokémon themselves, who often seem to be just as smart--if not more so--than the human characters.

* AdaptationalHeroism: Most official Pokémon stories depict Mewtwo as either a violent misanthrope or a tragic WellIntentionedExtremist. Here, it's actually working ''for'' humanity, being controlled by Rei.
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: A bit of a necessity, seeing as it now takes place in the Pokémon universe. The Angels and Eva units are replaced with Legendary Pokémon. Pen-pen the penguin is also now an Empoleon.
* AloofAlly: Shinji's Sandslash, who prefers to hang out by himself and not play with other Pokémon.

* AnimalsNotToScale: A variation with the Pokémon: the Legendary Pokémon are all ''enormous''-- they have to be, since they're the equivalents of the Angels and Eva units. Some non-legendaries are bigger than their Pokédex entries say they are as well, such as Gendo's Hydreigon and Kaji's Tropius, both of which are big enough for an adult human to ride on despite officially being only about four feet tall.

* BadassNormal: It's hard to tell what "normal" is in a story like this, but a handful of non-legendary Pokémon manage to put up a fight against the Legendaries, including Shinji's Sandslash and Asuka's Magmortar.
* BehemothBattle: Any time two Legendary Pokémon fight. Bonus points for including a Groudon vs. Kyogre battle!

* BigCreepyCrawlies: As a 100-foot-tall Bug-type Pokémon, Genesect qualifies.

* EverythingsBetterWithSparkles: Misato's Empoleon and Mana Kirishima's Butterfree are both Shiny Pokémon.

* {{Expy}}: All of the Legendary Pokémon (plus [[spoiler:two that aren't]]) are Expies of the Angels and Evas. To wit:

*** There are also a lot of Expies of individual characters from the Pokémon games and anime. For example, Shinji's Marowak is very similar in its relationship with him to Ash's Pikachu, while his Sandslash resembles Ash's Charizard and Sceptile. Likewise, Kaji's Mawile has a tendency to bite down on his head whenever it is released from its Poké Ball, much like James's Victreebel and Carnivine. Gendo Ikari having a Hydreigon is a nod to Ghetsis from VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite, another villainous father figure. Finally, [[TheRival Toji Suzuhara]] is turned into a clear Expy of Gary Oak, including having similar Pokémon (Arcanine and Dodrio) and even saying Gary's "Smell ya later" CatchPhrase.
* FantasyCounterpartCulture: The ''Evangelion'' characters' nationalities are replaced with them being from different regions in the ''Pokémon'' world. Shinji is from Kanto, Asuka is from Hoenn, and Mari is from Sinnoh.

* FiveManBand: Shinji's Pokémon could be said to form one. Genesect is the BigGood, Marowak is TheHero, Sandslash is TheLancer, Furret is TheSmartGuy, Pidgeotto is TheChick, and Raticate is TheBigGuy.
** Asuka's Pokémon also qualify. Groudon is the BigGood, Blaziken is TheHero, Primeape is TheLancer, Zangoose is TheChick, Magmortar is TheBigGuy, and Scizor is TheSmartGuy.

* HorseOfADifferentColor: Gendo Ikari, Ryoji Kaji, and Toji Suzuhara all use their Pokémon as mounts.
* IDoNotOwn: Every episode ends with this sort of disclaimer, in which the author says what he would change if he ''did'' own either Pokémon or Neon Genesis Evangelion--usually silly things like "Gendo Ikari would have an epic Broadway-esque VillainSong."

* MediumAwareness: The characters regularly express awareness that they are in a fanfic, especially the Pokémon themselves.
* MythologyGag: The story is full of in-jokes relating to the original Pokémon and Evangelion anime series.

* TheNicknamer: Kensuke names all his Pokémon after military ranks. In turn, the Pokémon themselves call him "The General."

* PokemonSpeak: The Pokémon characters' lines are "subtitled" for the reader, which is fortunate as they often have a lot to say.

* RetiredBadass: Misato's Gyarados, who used to be her strongest Pokémon from her days in the KSSDF (Kanto Strategic Self-Defense Forces).

* SignatureMon: Besides their Legendary Pokémon, most of the main characters have at least one non-legendary Pokémon that they are strongly associated with. These include [[HeartwarmingOrphan Cubone]] for Shinji, [[ManiacMonkeys Primeape]] for Asuka, [[PoisonousPerson Toxicroak]] for Mari, [[GentleGiantSauropod Tropius]] for Kaji, [[CatsAreMagic Espeon]] for Ritsuko, and [[DragonsAreDemonic Hydreigon]] for Gendo.

* TokenEvilTeammate: Primeape is this for the other Pokémon. None of them like him, and he goes out of his way to bully smaller ones like Cubone.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Mari, unlike the other main characters, doesn't really have her arc resolved. This is lampshaded [[spoiler: by Ash at the end, when it turns out the whole thing is a movie being watched by the cast of the Pokémon anime]].
* TheWorfEffect: Misato's Gyarados. Despite supposedly being her most powerful Pokémon, it loses in every battle it gets involved in.

* CelebrityVoiceActor: Parodied with Asuka's Primeape, who talks and acts like Wrestling/HulkHogan, and Shinji's Sandslash, who likewise behaves like Creator/ClintEastwood (or, more accurately, like a stereotypical Clint Eastwood Western character).
