History Fanfic / Pokeumans

* StrikeMeDownWithAllYourHatred: After Andy pushes Brandon too far on the way [[spoiler: he killed all the Extinctionists as Mega Brandon]], Brandon snaps and starts beating down on him remorselessly. Andy just lies there and doesn't even try and defend himself.

* VillainTeleportation: The X-Trio's personal teleportation equipment. The most {{egregious}} user is [[spoiler: Mindy]].

%% * ZeroContentExample

** JerkassWoobie (see HiddenDepths).

* AwesomeMcCoolname: Commander Sarmen Cuczoff of the Long Island PRT.

--> '''Brandon (narration):''' ''I felt like some jerk was'' (making him burn his tail repeatedly) ''on purpose for comedic relief.''

--> '''Dustin:''' ''No! I cannot lose!''
--> '''Brandon:''' ''Yes you can.'' (Iron Tail to the face)

** After all their other recent hardships, the news of [[spoiler:the death of his mentor]] sends [[spoiler: Cameron]] past RageBreakingPoint and he [[HulkingOut turns into a giant monstrous evil version of himself.]]

-->'''Andy:''' ''You really are hard to kill, you know that? This is the biggest challenge I've ever had, trying to kill you...''

* TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: Pokeumans acquire new natural instincts on transforming, to help them handle their new powers/senses/number of legs etc. As well, although there haven't been reported cases of it completely hijacking the original personality, you may also pick up certain traits of the species like those seen in the Pokedex (eg. Zangoose and Seviper instinctively hating each other).

* TheyLookJustLikeEveryoneElse: Disguised Pokeumans look like totally normal people.
* TheyLookLikeUsNow: See {{Humanshifting}}.

* ButtMonkey: Mike. All the bad stuff seems to happen to him, up to and including getting frozen.

* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Sakato's incredible speed is from intense training. However, it came at the cost of his social life.

* EvilTastesGood:
--> '''[[spoiler: Mindy]]:''' ''My uncle and I thought up this delicious scheme.''

* FailureKnight: The fact Sakato wasn't fast enough to save his friend Connor is the driving reason behind his training to be the fastest Pokeuman pretty much ever.
* FictionalDocument: Spiritus' memoirs. See TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou below for the debate around the use of the word 'fictional'.

* GigglingVillain: Andy the Toxicroak. More in the sense of LaughingMad than SissyVillain, but still quite creepy sometimes.

* HeroicBSOD: After [[spoiler: Mega Brandon]] kills everyone brutally in the Pokextinction camp, discovering this sends Brandon into a severe depression at the thought of what had happened. Fortunately, it was only temporary. Darren (the only present witness) also retreats after the incident and becomes very reluctant to talk to anyone for a while.

* MutantDraftBoard: Joining either the Pokeumans or Pokextinction is mandatory for a transformee (let's all hope they join the right one), but this isn't enforced by TheGovernment as in other versions of this trope. The reason that it's mandatory in this series is that quite simply if the public knew these transformations were happening [[{{Understatement}} they would freak out]].

* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVsCynicism: You could find pretty much point you liked on the scale somewhere in the group gallery. Most series are more idealistic, but depending on how much of the dramatic/tragic aspects of the premise the author brought out you could find anything on the cynical end from MindRape to KillEmAll.

* MadeOfIron/ HealingFactor: Brandon's Energy Channelling aside, it is pretty well established canon that Pokeumans are far more resistant and recover from harm faster than normal humans do.

But not all is well. A SecretWar rages between the Pokeuman and the Pokextinction organizations. The former sees themselves as rebels, hiding from humanity due to fear of persecution or fighting against an oppressive system. The latter, vary in intent - many seek only power and control, rallying behind the power of Mr. X, but some fear the Pokeuman want a world ruled by only Pokeuman and thus strive to serve as [[TheMenInBlack humanities’ guardians]].

Pokeumans is a fanfic written by [=Pokemonmanic3595=], which has in turn spawned hundreds of spinoff stories and a SharedUniverse. The original series focused on a Lucario Pokeuman named Brandon in the secret base under [[BigApplesauce Long Island]] in America and his battles against the Mewtwo scientist, [[GenericName Mr. X]].

[[TheMasquerade Hidden from everyday society]], there are certain people who can transform into Pokemon. These are called Pokeuman. Some want to live in peace with humanity, while others believe that they are a [[CantArgueWithElves superior race]].

* BattleAura: Rikuto the Lucario takes on a visible green aura in a fierce battle.

** Rikuto apparently knows several of these, although they don't seem to appear in his fight against Brandon.

* NonStandardCharacterDesign:
** Kyle Uchia has violet eyes instead of red ones.
** Rikuto is silver instead of blue and black.
** Cameron walks on two legs rather than being quadrupedal like a normal Hippopotas.

* RedBaron: Rikuto Hadoryu, The Green Dragon.

* FakeMemories: The clones are given full memories of the person they replace so that even they think they're the real one. When you look at it, Mr. X is running a worldwide MemoryGambit.

* TheGreatOffscreenWar: Often referred to as 'The Great War', the original conflict between people and Pokeumans. Few details are known, except that it went really badly for both sides involved.

* LotusEaterMachine: Pokextinction has machines for this: they simulate the person's human life until an hour of (real) time has passed, by which point they are totally brainwashed.

* ExtranormalInstitute: Pokeuman bases are effectively schools, but with some non-standard lessons. Pokextinction bases are the same, [[UncannyValley but]] with subtle brainwashing.

* TheGreatOffscreenWar: Often referred to as 'The Great War', the original conflict between people and Pokeumans. Few details are known, except for what caused it, what ended it and the fact that it went really badly for both sides involved.

* TheChosenMany: TheChosenOne is not a very common trope (TheChosenZero and TheUnchosenOne are much more common), but it happens sufficiently often that this trope is somewhat present.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Almost all base leaders and (naturally) Elite Four members are extremely capable fighters.
** AsskickingEqualsAuthority: In fact, that's often how they got the job.

* RedBaron/ SuperheroSobriquets: Other characters that have acquired heroic titles within or from around the group include:
** [[TheHero Brandon Chan]]: The Hero of Long Island, Last of the Energy Channellers.
** [[RetiredBadass Sora]]: Hero of Arcadia.
** [[LightningBruiser Isaac Cole]]: The Red Lightning.
** [[TheJuggernaut Zane]] [[DarkIsNotEvil Donovan]]: Chaos Incarnate.

* TheyLookJustLikeEveryoneElse: Both disguised Pokeumans and Pokextinction sleeper agents look like totally normal people.
