!! The series contains examples of:
* AbsurdlySpaciousSewer: The second story has one of these being used for escape.
* ActionBomb: [[spoiler: Raozya's Eevee, Salvo]] learns Self-Destruct, allowing him to detonate like a demolition bomb at will. [[spoiler: Bear in mind that Eevee are supposed to be incapable of learning this move. He learned it by sheer willpower.]]
* AdorableAbomination: Joas is already powerful and cute as an Espurr, but his ability to plunge his opponents into a nightmare realm of Cthulhu ripoffs puts him firmly within the "abomination" category.
* AffectionateParody: For ''Pokémon''.
* AlliterativeName: Raozya's full name is Rozza Reyo Raozya.
* AntiHero: Joas isn't necessarily malevolent, but he doesn't pull his punches when in a battle. Raozya could also count as this, since one of his goals is to use modified Poké Balls to capture ''other Trainers''.
* AmusingInjuries: Befitting of Pokémon, most injuries are treated with humor or are otherwise not life-threatening, like being shot through a building by a Flamethrower attack.
* AnimateInanimateObject: Raozya's Honedge, Cutstab. It's essentially a haunted sword.
* BadassAdorable: Pokémon in general are powerful enough, and the Espurr species exceptionally so, but Joas could count as an [[EldritchAbomination eldritch abomination]].
* BadassCrew: Raozya and his team.
* BarrierBustingBlow: The Team Flare grunts display strength that is undeniably inhuman.
* BattleAura: When angry, Joas is often seen surrounded by a glowing purple energy field.
* BigFun: Tierno is quite the hefty riot, what with his near-psychotic obsession with dancing and food.
* BrutalHonesty: Joas has no filter on his speech.
* BurgerFool: Lard Trough. The mere name makes Joas worry about long-term heart problems.
* CharacterExaggeration: Tierno is depicted as a tech genius with an unhealthy obsession for dancing and junk food.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Tierno, with his obsession for interpretive dance and odd junk food.
* ComedicSociopathy: Joas is this to most other life forms he encounters. The world is this to Raozya.
* TheCynic: Joas is a living embodiment of cynicism, to the point of being a source of comedy.
* DeadpanSnarker: Both Roazya and Joas get in on this, but more so for the latter.
* TheDeterminator: Raozya isn't about to give up on his journey to become the world's greatest Pokémon Trainer and world's first owner of Poké Ball-captured humans, no matter what the planet throws at him.
* DisintegratorRay: The Domination stun gun can do this if its internal computer deems you a dangerous enough threat.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Joas seldom hesitates to annihilate the minds (or bodies) of Pokémon that challenge him.
* DownLADrain: Camphrier Town has an extensive network of large drainage canals
* EldritchAbomination: Joas is already powerful, being an Espurr, but he has also exhibited the ability to ''warp reality'' when angry. By his account, albeit possibly an exaggeration, he has even plunged opponents into alternate dimensions filled with "Lovecraftian horrors."
* EliteMooks: The Team Flare grunts might as well be Agents from The Matrix.
* ExpressiveHair: Team Flare agents possess self-adjusting hair. Fashion is everything, after all.
* GargleBlaster: In the form of a bag of sour candy called Wacky Uncle Citrus' Lime Poppers. It allegedly has a flavor so intense that several children across Kalos had required hospitalization, and one child had ''[[UpToEleven physically imploded]]'' from the intense puckering effect.
* GoMadFromTheRevelation: Implied to happen to those who are tossed into Joas' eldritch dimension.
* GreasySpoon: The truck stop in the first story and the diner in the second are implied to be this.
* HandCannon: Raozya's stun gun, the Domination.
* HarmlessVillain: The Team Rocket grunts in the first story.
* HoodHopping: The Team Flare agents do this while pursuing Raozya in the second story.
* HurricaneOfPuns: Raozya's capture of a Furfrou in the second story leads to terrible hair puns.
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: Raozya's entire motivation for becoming a wealthy Pokémon Trainer. He considers his life to be oppressively dull. The world seems to agree, but responds by turning him into a figurative bug-zapper for lunatics.
* {{Jerkass}}: Joas makes no apologies for it, either.
* KillerRabbit: Most Pokémon are this, but Joas takes the cake.
* KillItWithFire: The flame-based attacks of Raozya's Fennekin, Napalm.
* LastNameBasis: Most people call the main character by his family name, Raozya.
* MadeOfExplodium: Pretty much every vehicle in the chase scene in the second story.
* NoodleIncident: We don't know exactly what Ash and Serena did to Team Rocket in the first story, but it was enough to make James declare that he was going to ''barbecue'' Ash's Pikachu. The only evidence we see is a large number of burn marks on their outfits and ribbons of toilet paper.
* NotEnoughToBury: The Team Rocket mook in the first story learns firsthand what a sufficiently-powered blast from a Domination gun can do to a human body.
* OhCrap: The typical response to one of Joas' overpowered and rage-fueled attacks.
* OnlySaneMan: Raozya often feels this way.
* OutsideRide: Atop a speeding train ''and'' a speeding tractor-trailer!
* PintsizedPowerhouse: Joas is only a foot tall but can glow like a sun from all of his power.
* TheReveal: Early on, we discover that Raozya is [[spoiler: actually a Zoroark disguised as a human]].
* ShoutOut:
** The SIMBYL Domination stun gun is an obvious reference to the SIBYL Dominator from ''Anime/PsychoPass''. Despite the former being advertised as a stun gun, it can still make people explode.
** The Team Flare agents are walking embodiments of references to ''Franchise/TheMatrix''. In addition, the Poké Ball storage facility beneath The Jolly Pirate's Supply Crate resembles the cloning farms from the same series. And of course, the mysterious black cat crossing Raozya's path twice represents that something was changed.
** The cutesy talking spider tanks are a reference to ''Franchise/GhostInTheShell''.
** The "Zombat" zombies (human corpses being controlled by Golbat) are a reference to the headcrab zombies from the ''[[VideoGame/HalfLife]]'' franchise.
** [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist "...An ability that has been passed down the Raozya family line for generations."]]
** Raozya's temporary disguise as a grossly exaggerated human child mascot in the second story resembles one of [[WesternAnimation/InvaderZim Zim's]] ridiculous disguises.
** James says this regarding the first Team Rocket thugs that Raozya encountered: "The Espurr stunned one of them with its incredible power, making her feel as though she was being [[Film/{{Contact}} launched through deep space for eighteen hours]] even though it had only been a matter of seconds."

-->--'''Joas, regarding an instance of rather brutal poetic justice.'''
'''''Pickles and Depredation''''' is a series of humorous ''[[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pokémon]]'' fanfics written by [[Website/FanFictionDotNet Fanfiction.Net]] user Nuclear Cookout[[note]]who is also the [[User/RieselUniverse author]] of the original sci-fi series ''[[Literature/RieselTalesTwoHunters Riesel Tales: Two Hunters]]''[[/note]]. The series revolves around Raozya, an aspiring Pokémon Trainer who is obsessed with victory and pickles. The only thing in his way seems to be the ''entire planet'', since all he ever receives is humiliation and encounters with people who would be better suited for an insane asylum. His team of Pokémon is no better, notably his sadistic and impish Espurr, Joas.
Along with exaggerated and reinterpreted characters, the series has several references to other franchises such as Franchise/PsychoPass and Franchise/TheMatrix.
Currently has two installations:
* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10659617/1/Pickles-and-Depredation-Another-First-Journey Another First Journey]]''
* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10716993/1/Pickles-and-Depredation-Flare-Game-PaD-2 Flare Game]]''.
----
!! The series contains examples of:
* AbsurdlySpaciousSewer: The second story has one of these being used for escape.
* ActionBomb: [[spoiler: Raozya's Eevee, Salvo]] learns Self-Destruct, allowing him to detonate like a demolition bomb at will. [[spoiler: Bear in mind that Eevee are supposed to be incapable of learning this move. He learned it by sheer willpower.]]
* AdorableAbomination: Joas is already powerful and cute as an Espurr, but his ability to plunge his opponents into a nightmare realm of Cthulhu ripoffs puts him firmly within the "abomination" category.
* AffectionateParody: For ''Pokémon''.
* AlliterativeName: Raozya's full name is Rozza Reyo Raozya.
* AntiHero: Joas isn't necessarily malevolent, but he doesn't pull his punches when in a battle. Raozya could also count as this, since one of his goals is to use modified Poké Balls to capture ''other Trainers''.
* AmusingInjuries: Befitting of Pokémon, most injuries are treated with humor or are otherwise not life-threatening, like being shot through a building by a Flamethrower attack.
* AnimateInanimateObject: Raozya's Honedge, Cutstab. It's essentially a haunted sword.
* BadassAdorable: Pokémon in general are powerful enough, and the Espurr species exceptionally so, but Joas could count as an [[EldritchAbomination eldritch abomination]].
* BadassCrew: Raozya and his team.
* BarrierBustingBlow: The Team Flare grunts display strength that is undeniably inhuman.
* BattleAura: When angry, Joas is often seen surrounded by a glowing purple energy field.
* BigFun: Tierno is quite the hefty riot, what with his near-psychotic obsession with dancing and food.
* BrutalHonesty: Joas has no filter on his speech.
* BurgerFool: Lard Trough. The mere name makes Joas worry about long-term heart problems.
* CharacterExaggeration: Tierno is depicted as a tech genius with an unhealthy obsession for dancing and junk food.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Tierno, with his obsession for interpretive dance and odd junk food.
* ComedicSociopathy: Joas is this to most other life forms he encounters. The world is this to Raozya.
* TheCynic: Joas is a living embodiment of cynicism, to the point of being a source of comedy.
* DeadpanSnarker: Both Roazya and Joas get in on this, but more so for the latter.
* TheDeterminator: Raozya isn't about to give up on his journey to become the world's greatest Pokémon Trainer and world's first owner of Poké Ball-captured humans, no matter what the planet throws at him.
* DisintegratorRay: The Domination stun gun can do this if its internal computer deems you a dangerous enough threat.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Joas seldom hesitates to annihilate the minds (or bodies) of Pokémon that challenge him.
* DownLADrain: Camphrier Town has an extensive network of large drainage canals
* EldritchAbomination: Joas is already powerful, being an Espurr, but he has also exhibited the ability to ''warp reality'' when angry. By his account, albeit possibly an exaggeration, he has even plunged opponents into alternate dimensions filled with "Lovecraftian horrors."
* EliteMooks: The Team Flare grunts might as well be Agents from The Matrix.
* ExpressiveHair: Team Flare agents possess self-adjusting hair. Fashion is everything, after all.
* GargleBlaster: In the form of a bag of sour candy called Wacky Uncle Citrus' Lime Poppers. It allegedly has a flavor so intense that several children across Kalos had required hospitalization, and one child had ''[[UpToEleven physically imploded]]'' from the intense puckering effect.
* GoMadFromTheRevelation: Implied to happen to those who are tossed into Joas' eldritch dimension.
* GreasySpoon: The truck stop in the first story and the diner in the second are implied to be this.
* HandCannon: Raozya's stun gun, the Domination.
* HarmlessVillain: The Team Rocket grunts in the first story.
* HoodHopping: The Team Flare agents do this while pursuing Raozya in the second story.
* HurricaneOfPuns: Raozya's capture of a Furfrou in the second story leads to terrible hair puns.
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: Raozya's entire motivation for becoming a wealthy Pokémon Trainer. He considers his life to be oppressively dull. The world seems to agree, but responds by turning him into a figurative bug-zapper for lunatics.
* {{Jerkass}}: Joas makes no apologies for it, either.
* KillerRabbit: Most Pokémon are this, but Joas takes the cake.
* KillItWithFire: The flame-based attacks of Raozya's Fennekin, Napalm.
* LastNameBasis: Most people call the main character by his family name, Raozya.
* MadeOfExplodium: Pretty much every vehicle in the chase scene in the second story.
* NoodleIncident: We don't know exactly what Ash and Serena did to Team Rocket in the first story, but it was enough to make James declare that he was going to ''barbecue'' Ash's Pikachu. The only evidence we see is a large number of burn marks on their outfits and ribbons of toilet paper.
* NotEnoughToBury: The Team Rocket mook in the first story learns firsthand what a sufficiently-powered blast from a Domination gun can do to a human body.
* OhCrap: The typical response to one of Joas' overpowered and rage-fueled attacks.
* OnlySaneMan: Raozya often feels this way.
* OutsideRide: Atop a speeding train ''and'' a speeding tractor-trailer!
* PintsizedPowerhouse: Joas is only a foot tall but can glow like a sun from all of his power.
* TheReveal: Early on, we discover that Raozya is [[spoiler: actually a Zoroark disguised as a human]].
* ShoutOut:
** The SIMBYL Domination stun gun is an obvious reference to the SIBYL Dominator from ''Anime/PsychoPass''. Despite the former being advertised as a stun gun, it can still make people explode.
** The Team Flare agents are walking embodiments of references to ''Franchise/TheMatrix''. In addition, the Poké Ball storage facility beneath The Jolly Pirate's Supply Crate resembles the cloning farms from the same series. And of course, the mysterious black cat crossing Raozya's path twice represents that something was changed.
** The cutesy talking spider tanks are a reference to ''Franchise/GhostInTheShell''.
** The "Zombat" zombies (human corpses being controlled by Golbat) are a reference to the headcrab zombies from the ''[[VideoGame/HalfLife]]'' franchise.
** [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist "...An ability that has been passed down the Raozya family line for generations."]]
** Raozya's temporary disguise as a grossly exaggerated human child mascot in the second story resembles one of [[WesternAnimation/InvaderZim Zim's]] ridiculous disguises.
** James says this regarding the first Team Rocket thugs that Raozya encountered: "The Espurr stunned one of them with its incredible power, making her feel as though she was being [[Film/{{Contact}} launched through deep space for eighteen hours]] even though it had only been a matter of seconds."
* SuperReflexes: The Team Flare agents.
* TitleDrop: In the first story.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Pickles (or anything sour) for Raozya and Joas. For Napalm, anything spicy.
* TrainEscape: Raozya hops onto a city monorail to escape the pursuing Team Flare agents in the second story.
* TraintopBattle: The result of Raozya attempting to use a train to escape the superhuman Team Flare agents.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Raozya and Joas are always throwing jabs at each other.
* VoiceOfTheLegion: When sufficiently angry, Joas can pull this off.
* WarriorPoet: Joas gets into this sometimes, being [[WickedCultured wicked cultured]].
