History Fanfic / MyHeroPokedamia

* DistractedByTheSexy: While the girls of 1-A were initially annoyed that Mineta and Kaminari tricked them into wearing skimpy cheerleader outfits, when they noticed how Izuku was blushing and nervously said he thought they looked great in the outfits, the girls decided maybe the ordeal wasn't so bad. They all then decided to pull some cute poses and formed a cheerleader formation together, which left Izuku in an even [[LuminescentBlush blushing mess]] while the girls were pleased with their efforts of getting this type of reaction from the guy of their dreams.

* EveryoneHasStandards:
** Even [[AbusiveParent Endeavour]] and [[BloodKnight Mirko]] are disgusted with Bakugou when they see how feral he fights Ashido during their Sports Festival match.
** As much of an asshole as he is, Bakugo doesn't share

** Kaminari and Ibara flirt as part of their pre-fight banter, with Kaminari noting he likes her snark.

* AccidentalPervert: During the Entrance Exam, Izuku accidentally gropes Hagakure's boob after she and Uraraka save him.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Even [[AbusiveParent Endeavour]] and [[BloodKnight Mirko]] are disgusted with Bakugou when they see how feral he fights Ashido during their Sports Festival match.

** After Izuku returns from the infirmary, he gets hugged by Serena, Mina, and Tooru, and Momo tells the girls off for crowding Izuku. After they back off, she proceeds to give Izuku a big hug.

** Bakugo, big time. Izuku saves him from the Sludge Villain? "He was doing it because he wanted to make me look weak!" Izuku suddenly has a Quirk? "He hid it just to laugh in my face!" Ojiro and Shoda drop out of the tournament? "They're wimps that know they can't beat me!"

** Kyouka has a Noibat, Loudred, and Jigglypuff; with the first two representing her sound based Quirk and the third showcasing her singing capabilities.

** Monoma has a Ditto.

* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Izuku's speech to Shinso is a combination of this, a WhatTheHellHero and TheReasonYouSuckSpeech:
--> '''Izuku''': Any Quirk Can be Great! Any Quirk Can be Worth Something! Even if isn't something 'Flashy'! Even Those Without Quirks Can Be Worth Something! Anyone Can Be a Hero! Even You!

** During their tournament fight, Izuku calls out Shinso for excusing his anti-heroic actions as a reaction to being bullied: as far as Izuku's concerned, ''nothing'' excuses using people as tools.

** Todoroki thought he could simply reveal to Izuku how he manipulated his friends and the girls he is in love with for his own personal gain and Izuku would not mind. This nearly gets the ice and fire wielder's head [[MegatonPunch caved in]] by a royally pissed Izuku.

* RageBreakingPoint: Mina hits hers when she realizes what a horrible person Bakugo is, and goes so far as to slap him in the face with acid in her hand - which in turn triggers Bakugo, who becomes feral enough to hand her a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown.

* LoopholeAbuse: Played with. To 1-A's great frustration, Bakugo's brutal beatdown of Ashido is ''technically'' in line with the rules as explained by Recovery Girl. Izuku mentally notes that part of what makes Bakugo's abuse of him so bad is that he knows full damn well where the line is between what he can get away with and what even Aldera's corrupt and enabling teachers can cover up. However, Recovery Girl assures Ashido's friends that Nedzu will find ''some way'' to ensure Bakugo suffers consequences, giving hope that the trope will be subverted.

*** Izuku '''explodes''' in rage when Todoroki reveals that he manipulated his friends and the girls he is in love with (more specifically, Momo, who is engaged to Shoto) to turn against him during the Sports Festival, saying that for someone who hates Endeavor for being a ManipulativeBastard, Shoto turned out to be just like, if not worse, than his father.

* TheChainOfHarm: Endeavour is a domestic abuser who hurt his wife and children. Shouto, one of said children, hurts others in turn including his own Vulpix and Momo his betrothed. It's a key reason Izuku has NoSympathy for Shouto's issues and is in fact furious with him.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: During the Navy Battle Royale, after releasing Pikachu, Izuku doesn't give orders to the electric Pokémon, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness who barely speaks and sticks close to Ochako, and the other students notice that Pikachu's attacks are weaker than they should be]]. Also, Kirishima notices something falling off Izuku's ship while it's hidden, but nobody else does. [[spoiler:This is because this Pikachu is actually Ochako's female Pikachu, which has had her tail wrapped in tape to make her look like Izuku's Pikachu's -- and the 'falling object' was Froakie, whom Izuku had released so he could steal flags without being noticed.]]

** Izuku acknowledges Shouto's father Endeavor is a terrible one, but this does not excuse all the jerk moves Shouto has done, especially when Shouto does the same things he decries his father for that results in him hurting people and Pokémon who bear no responsibility for what his father did.

** Shouto hates his father for him being a manipulative bastard that bought his mother and arranged his betrothal to Momo, but he himself manipulates and forces Izuku's friends (even using said betrothal to force Momo to join his team) to act against him during the Sports Festival.

* ItsAllAboutMe: Bakugo, big time. Izuku saves him from the Sludge Villain? "He was doing it because he wanted to make me look weak!" Izuku suddenly has a Quirk? "He hid it just to laugh in my face!" Ojiro and Shoda drop out of the tournament? "They're wimps that know they can't beat me!"

** Shouto instinctively starts to use his fire half when Izuku rushes him during the second event.

** After Shouto reveals he manipulated or forced Izuku's friends to act against him during the second round of the Sports Festival, a furious Izuku punches him (deliberately missing by a few centimeters) and calls him out for such unheroic behavior that makes him no better than his father that he so despises.

** Combusken once calls Pikachu ''Film/DetectivePikachu''.

* AffectionateNickname: Izuku has several from his classmates, mostly the girls interested in him.
** Serena calls him "Izu".
** Like canon Ochako calls him "Deku".
** Hagakure picks "Izi".
** Ashido chooses "Midori".
** Kirishima calls him "Midobro".
** Kaminari calls him "his Pika-bro".
** Asui lampshades this and, at Izuku's suggestion, begins calling him "Zu".
** Hatsume begins with "10 Million", but takes to calling him "Muscles" after the second event (and deciding to keep "Future Husband" in reserve).

* CompositeCharacter: [[OriginalCharacter Serena Mariella]] has traits from three of [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries Ash's traveling companions]]. She has the same name and similar appearance to [[Anime/PokemonTheSeriesXY Serena]], uses and has a love of water types like [[Anime/PokemonTheOriginalSeries Misty]], and her first Pokémon is a [[Anime/PokemonTheSeriesDiamondAndPearl Piplup like Dawn]]. She even thought about becoming either a Pokémon Performer or Coordinator before deciding to be a Hero.

* ForWantOfANail:
** When the 1-A girls dress up as cheerleaders ([[InSpiteOfANail after Mineta and Kaminari trick them to do it]]), the 1-B girls join them of their own will.
** Three of the matchups for the tournament round of the Sports Festival are different:
*** Todoroki fights Serena instead of Sero. Also, instead of the CurbStompBattle from canon, he almost loses because Serena keeps melting his ice and he refuses to use the fire half of his Quirk, only reaching the next phase because Serena forfeits in the moment of triumph.
*** Instead of Bakugo, Ochako instead faces Sero and wins, managing to move on to the second round.
*** Bakugo fights Mina instead. Mina gets multiple hits in, but after she calls him out as a bully and hits him in the face with acid, Bakugo unleashes a savage NoHoldsBarredBeatdown that forces Midnight to quickly call for the infirmary robots the moment Mina falls out of bounds.
** Because Aizawa has been very concerned with Bakugou's appalling behaviour beforehand, he does not bother defending him when the audience for the Sports Festival call Bakugou out since he is very much aware they are right to do so.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Even Endeavour and [[BloodKnight Mirko]] are disgusted with Bakugou when they see how feral he fights Ashido during their Sports Festival match.

** Kyoka has a Noibat, Loudred, and Jigglypuff; with the first two representing her sound based Quirk and the third showcasing her singing capabilities.

* AdaptationSpeciesChange: All Might's narration reveals that the experiments Nezu was forced to endure as a lab rat in his past involved combining various Pokémon into one, as opposed to simply being a rare animal with a Quirk.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Even Endeavour and [[BloodKnight Mirko]] are disgusted with Bakugou when they sees how feral he fights Ashido during their Sports Festival match.
