Chapter Text
Makoto POV:
<|-~Free Time~-|>
“I wonder who would be available to talk with, I kinda want to get to know everyone since that's the purpose of today,” I thought as I wandered the halls, heading to wherever works for me since I already know the format of the school.
I find myself in front of the gym and decide to head inside to find Deku (I better ask him if that's what I should call), Aether, Venti, and Shoto, (I also need to ask him), talking with one another as I see a few pieces of equipment set up on the side. Deku spots me approaching to which he gestures me over with a smile and wave.
“Hello there! You wanna join us? Me and Todoroki here were setting up some training equipment but ended up having a chat with Venti and Aether here.” Exclaimed Deku as I joined their little group.
“Um well, if it's alright could you all introduce yourselves again to me? As well as what you prefer me to call you since I’m not too sure how it works in your world. Sorry if it's a bother.” I asked as everyone looked at each other.
“No problem at all! I’m Venti the bard! I guess I’m called the Ultimate Wind User here. Nice to meet ya! I think we are gonna get along juuust fine.” Eagerly started Venti.
“Oh, I’ll go next I guess, I’m Aether, nice to meet you. I’m a traveler along with my twin sister Lumine, who is currently with some of the other girls in the cafeteria, which pretty much defines mine and her shared Ultimate as the Ultimate World Travellers.” Continued Aether as I looked over to the two heroes in training as to who would go next.
“Oh uh yea, I’m Izuku Midoriya, hero name Deku! Please call me Midoriya or Deku, either works for me. If I’m correct I’m called the Ultimate Analyst but for some reason, it will end up changing soon, not too sure why.” Midoriya stated as he prompted his friend to start his introduction.
“The name’s Shoto Todoroki, call me Todoroki, please. I’m known as the Ultimate Duel Elemental User. I hope we can get along.” Finished Todoroki as everyone turned to him, waiting for him to start his introduction.
“I’m Makoto Naegi, pleased to meet all of you! I’m called the Ultimate Lucky Student, though was briefly called the Ultimate Hope after whatever happened here. And I would prefer you could all call me Naegi.” I explained. We chatted for some time, currently, I'm chatting with Midoriya.
<|-~Free Time Event With Midoriya Izuku~-|>
Makoto: “So, I think it mentioned before you go to some sort of hero school correct?”
Midoriya: “That's right! I go to the famous UA High-school, it's known for sending out some of the top heroes in the country.”
Makoto: “That's pretty cool! How many are in your class?”
Midoriya: “Oh! Uhhh, If I’m correct there are 20 of us in my class. Each one of us has some amazing quirks!”
Makoto: Quirks? They were what again…
1. Superpowers/Super abilities
2. Food
3. Personalities
Selected Option 1….
Correct Answer Selected!
Makoto: “Superpowers right?”
Midoriya: “Yup! Some of my friends have some really powerful abilities, Kirishima can harden his body, like a rock! Which is a great ability for defense and offense!”
Makoto: “That sounds like a very useful ability.”
Midoriya: “Yea, so If I’m correct your ‘Ultimate’ is Luck? How does that even work?”
Makoto: “Weeeelll… This is embarrassing to say… There was a raffle to get into this school when it was normal and I happened to be lucky and got in as that year's Ultimate Lucky Student”
Midoriya: “Ahhh I see. It’s alright, honestly, I am sorta lucky to even be the person I am today, guess we are sort of the same!”
Makoto: “Yea I guess so!”
Midoriya: “Does this luck of yours happen to still emerge during your daily life? I’m kind of intrigued.”
Makoto: “I mean I guess it does, though I would say it comes and goes in a rather interesting manner, I more or less experience more bad luck though.”
Midoriya: “Ahhh I see, that’s interesting”
Makoto: “Yea, but you should see Komaeda, his luck is rather extreme when it comes to his good and bad luck.”
Midoriya: “Oh wow, I guess that is something.”
Makoto: “Yea..”
Midoriya: “Anyways I’m gonna go chat with Todoroki, it was nice talking with you!”
Makoto: “You too!”
You head over to your room content with your conversation. You and Midoriya have gotten closer!

<|-~Free Time~-|>
“I maybe should head over to the Dining Room this time, or Cafeteria whatever it was called again,” I mumbled to myself. As I start to walk over there I see Kyoko about to enter in there as well. “Kyoko! Are you heading in there too?” I asked as she turns to face me. “Yes I am, I happened to see a few people walk in and wanted to sort of.. ‘investigate’ the others. I would rather know a bit more about them before completely trusting them.” Kyoko reasoned. “Ah that makes sense, I’ll tag along with you, maybe after I can sort of telling you what I got from some of the others.”
We entered the room to find 2 groups of 4 people on opposite sides. A group to the right near the kitchen consisted of Conan, Haibara, Shuichi, and Kokichi, while the group to the far left consisted of Asuna, Lumine, Sinon, and Marinette.
“Seems there are two groups here, do you wanna split up? I can take the one to the right and you can take the one to the left?” I requested, seeing that maybe the group of girls would be better suited for her. “Sure, let’s meet back once our conversations are finished. If one of us is done early just join the other group.” Kyoko replied as she headed over to her chosen group.
I headed over to the right group as they were in a middle of a conversation. “So you say you’re the Ultimate Detective, but have appeared to have only solved one big case?” Asked Conan. “I mean most of my memories were fabricated for the game I was participating in, but from what I learned I was a hardcore mystery-solving fan who somehow landed a place at a detective agency that belonged to my uncle’s. The only other thing I can sort of guarantee for my skills would be my solving in the… class trials.” Shyly replied Saihara. (My AU, not sure what else to say about that)
“Ya! Shumai here totally solved everything! Wonder how smol detective here would fair against him hmmmmmmm?” Ouma noted as he slightly looked down at Conan.
“Hey, guys. Am I interrupting something?” I asked as I tried to ease my way into the conversation. “Oh uh, it’s no problem I guess,” Saihara replied. “Oh yea, so um, I just wanted to go around and talk with others to get to know them, I’m Makoto Naegi, but please call me Naegi.” I started, hoping the others would follow suit in introducing themselves, or else this may end up awkward.
“I guess we can go along with introducing ourselves again, my name is Haibara Ai, and my real name is Shiho Miyano, but I would be preferred to be called Haibara by all of you since I don’t like being called my original name and only those I want to can call me by my first name. I’m known as the Ultimate Scientist here based on what the screen said.” Haibara started as she then gazed at her detective companion.
“So, uh I guess I’m next. I’m Edogawa Conan, my real name is Kudo Shinichi, you can either call me Conan or Kudo, though I would prefer you not to call me Conan if I turn into my older form. I believe I’m the Ultimate Junior Detective in this form and the Ultimate High School Detective in my older one.” Explained Conan as his gaze analyzed everyone’s reactions and relaxed when we nodded in understanding (or however Ouma shows his understanding, you know how he is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ).
“Ok uh, I-“ started Saihara but was interrupted by Ouma as he popped up in front of Saihara, “Chin up Shumai! I can tell you’re all over the place and want to make sure that you introduce yourself with utmost confidence! Or maybe that was just a lie to make you feel bad about yourself!” Exclaimed Ouma with a wide grin, as Saihara briefly smiled at him and looked up at the rest of us. “I’m Shuichi Saihara, I’m the future Ultimate Detective of this world, it's nice to meet you.”
We all smiled back as we finally looked at the last member of the group. “Nishishi~ the name’s Kokichi Ouma! I’m the Ultimate Supreme Leader! You better call me Ouma unless I say so or my 10,000-member organization will be after you! Or was that just a lie~?” Smirked Ouma as we all except for Saihara hesitantly nodded in confusion. “Don’t take was Kokichi says too seriously, he may lie quite a bit (too much) but he’s still working on his honesty but he does have an organization just not 10,000 members” Saihara whispered to us as an explanation for our confusion.
“SHUSH! Don’t ruin my dramatic introduction!” Dramatically whined Ouma as he hung his head down. We all started up a conversation, it mostly being Ouma’s dramatic antics with a more silent Conan and Haibara on the side. As I was about to start up one-on-one with Conan the building started echoing with a loud sound.
*DING DONG BING BONG*
*DING DONG BING BONG*
A female robotic voice replaced the sound as it echos through the building.
*THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT, I ASK EVERYONE TO COME TOWARDS THE CAFETERIA IMMEDIATELY, ONCE AGAIN THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT, I ASK EVERYONE TO COME TOWARDS THE CAFETERIA IMMEDIATELY!*
I look around as I catch my gaze with Kyoko who gestured me over to the side of her group.
“So, since we're already here I guess we can try to figure out what the announcement might be about?” Kyoko asks as I nod in agreement. “I’m not too sure what this could be about, but I don’t think it might be a ‘bad’ announcement if you know what I mean.” I explained, “I quite agree with that, but I might have some sort of speculation on what it might be from my walk around the school.” she remarked as I piqued in interest. “We might be getting new people, around 2-3 if I’m not wrong.” Hypothesized Kyoko as I looked in confusion back at her.
“How could that be?” I asked “I thought there would be no one else.” “Well, I happened to go and check the dorms but found out that there were 22 people here but 25 rooms, 2 labeled as ‘IN PROGRESS’ and the third one labeled ‘UNATTENDED’” she explained as I now understood her reasoning, “I think you’re most likely correct in that case, unless they decided to give us some hints on any ideas regarding tomorrows introduction of the rules and such.” I reasoned as she nods her head in agreement. I hear a mass amount of footsteps as I look to see everyone else entering the cafeteria. The moment the last person enters the door slams behind them with the screen popping out of the wall like last time.
*GREETINGS EVERYONE! I DEEPLY APOLOGIZE FOR SUDDENLY SUMMONING YOU ALL OUT OF THE BLUE BUT I THANK YOU FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION AND PATIENCE. I FIGURED SOME OF YOU IN THE ROOM HAVE ALREADY FIGURED OUT WHAT THIS ANNOUNCEMENT IS ABOUT SO LET’S GET STRAIGHT TO IT. WE HAVE TWO MORE PARTICIPANTS JOINING US AS I HAVE DECIDED TO INCLUDE THEM IN AS WELL. I WILL BRING THEM WHILE INTRODUCING THEIR WORLD, ALONG WITH A BRIEF INTRODUCTION ABOUT THE TWO OF THEM… EXPLANATION WILL BEGIN IN A BIT!*
Everyone looked at each in confusion, "looks like you were right huh?" "Hm, seems so." Kyoko slightly smirked at her correct deduction, though it slightly bothers me how it was suddenly decided that there would be two new participants. Why did whoever is responsible not just bring them before? "I can see you thinking about why this is happening yes?" I turn over to where Kyoko is, nodding my head in reply. "I suggest we wait a bit more, see if these people can at least provide any important information before we jump to conclusions." She suggested as she turned towards the screen, to see it counting down to the final three seconds.

*EXPLANATION WILL NOW BEGIN:*
Pokemon:
The world of Pokemon, a world that is inhabited by fascinating creatures called Pokemon, is short for Pocket Monsters. There are currently 898 known Pokemon in their world, each inhabiting their special abilities and typing. The main known typings are Normal, Fighting, Electric, Flying, Psychic, Fire, Water, Grass, Fairy, Dragon, Dark, Steel, Poison, Ice, Ground, Bug, Rock, and Ghost. Each Pokemon can have a maximum of 2 definite typings except for those that can change it due to abilities or moves. There are 8 know regions at the moment: Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, Alola, and Galar, with newer ones being discovered. People and Pokemon both live together in a variety of different ways. People who own Pokemon are known as Pokemon Trainers, and they can do a variety of things like them. One battles other trainers to achieve the ultimate victory, while others prefer to do performances to show the beauty of their pokemon. Our friends from that world can explain further as I have informed them that they will be getting questions regarding everything, now onto our 2 guests:
(Warning! This contains spoilers for the latest Journey's episodes, if you don't want to be spoiled, I suggest going and watching it before you continue in the story :) also, I may have added a few extra things in regards to who has what so back to the story!)
Satoshi “Ash” Ketchum Ultimate Chosen Pokemon Trainer:
A young man who has traveled across all of the regions mentioned before, he has a dream to be a “Pokemon Master”. He loves Pokemon battles and uses his out-of-the-box thinking and unique strategies to ensure victory. He has approximately caught around 86 or more Pokemon, of which 30 are the same breed but otherwise has quite a number of them. His main partner Pokemon is Pikachu. *Shows picture* This mouse pokemon is an electric type, it can use up to 4 unique moves, which all pokemon can do, but they tend to “create” their own if they do combo moves or out-of-the-box thinking.
Serena Yvonne Ultimate Pokemon Performer:
A childhood friend of Ash’s traveled along with him on his journey through the Kalos region. She loves doing Pokemon Performances as a Performer as it's her dream to become “Kalos Queen”, this means she is the top performer in the Kalos region. She had separated ways with Ash as they both went ahead to pursue their own goals. She has caught 6 pokemon at the current moment, as 3 are more recent additions to her team.
Their photos as well as descriptions disappear as the screen flashes white with new text.
*NOW THAT THIS HAS FINISHED, I WILL BRING THEM INTO THE GYM SO I ASK THAT YOU GO NEAR THE DOORS. THEY WEREN’T INFORMED OF THEIR COMPANION BEING CHOSEN SO THEY WILL NEED 10 MINUTES TO CATCH UP WITH ONE ANOTHER BEFORE I ALLOW EVERYONE INSIDE. ONCE YOU ARE LET IN, YOU WILL BE ALLOWED TO ASK THEM QUESTIONS BUT ENSURE YOU DON’T OVERWHELM THEM BY ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, AND IF THEY WISH TO NOT ANSWER CERTAIN QUESTIONS, DO NOT PRESSURE THEM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME*
The screen goes blank as the Cafeteria doors open up, prompting everyone to head over to the Gym. Everyone seems to split off into groups, those either similar to themselves or from their world, in which most of the Danganronpa group end up grouping up together.
“So, based on this newly gained information, should we head straight away to the gym? Or discuss everything first?” Hinata questioned as he looked at the group in front of him. “How about we talk and walk? If we don’t end up finishing our conversation, we can continue it there.” Suggested Saihara.
The group collectively agreed on this suggestion as they started to walk toward their destination. I looked back briefly to see some of the groups having the same idea as us, that being the “Genshin Impact MHA” group, while the rest opted to stay behind for the time being. We seemed to split off into groups of 3 or 2, I ended up with Saihara and Hinata, while Kyoko and Nanami paired up together as the girls of the group, and finally, Byakuya, Komaeda, and Ouma were the last small group.
Not gonna lie, I was rather concerned about the final group since from what I heard and experienced, they might be the most “chaotic” group.
“So, from what we know their world has fantastical creatures they can ‘train’, both of the people have their own Pokemon and from it looks like are quite experienced,” Hinata stated as we nodded in agreement, our discussion continued as we finally reached the doors to the gym. As the two groups settled beside the doors, everyone seemed to jump at a loud bang coming from the gym, as smoke seethed through the small space beneath the door. We all cast worried glances at each other wondering what in the world was happening. I tried to open the door but it appeared to be locked. As Deku was charging his power to most likely break down the door, a retractable screen from behind a wall stopped in front of the door with a message written on it.
*DO NOT DAMAGE PROPERTY WITHOUT PERMISSION! DO NOT DAMAGE PROPERTY WITHOUT PERMISSION!*
*THE ONLY WAY TO OPEN THESE DOORS FORCEFULLY IS BY PRESSING THE EMERGENCY BUTTON BEHIND THIS SCREEN! BE CAREFUL BECAUSE ONCE USED YOU CAN NOT USE IT FOR ANOTHER 7 HOURS! CHOOSE WISELY!*
The final line appeared as the screen moved and settled higher above the doors. We almost considered doing it when the left door came flying off heading straight for the group just running into the room. With in-sync movement, the two godly twins lifted their hands and what seemed to have placed a unique structure blocking the flying door. Everyone still surprised by the events, trying to take in everything, didn’t notice the small yellow mouse run back into the gym.
They all peered into the open door to find the same two people from the pictures, the small yellow mouse, and… wait… I can’t even describe that one, I could say that it had pink and some ribbons flying around trying to hit the mouse. “Alright! Let’s finish this off! Use thunderbolt!” Was yelled by the boy as the yellow mouse emitted a massive amount of electricity aimed straight at their opponent, as it landed the hit with the pink ribbon creature falling to the ground with swirls in its (her maybe?) eyes.
“Aw Yeah! We won! That was a great battle, Serena! I can tell you’ve improved a lot since we properly last met!” The boy exclaimed to the girl now named Serena. She giggles as she walks over to the fallen creature, whispering something to it as it gets sucked into a small red and white ball,
“I think you’ve improved more than me, Pikachu is as strong as ever.” The both of them are now next to each other in the middle of the gym as the sound of someone clearing their throat resonates throughout the gym, making the two of them look to see the broken door and mass of people.
With an awkward silence between them reaching for too long, Lumine decided to end it. “Ummm, well sorry for the intrusion.” The two finally realized what had happened as Serena was quick to reply “Oh! We’re so sorry! Neither I nor Ash even noticed we broke the door.” Ash was quick to follow suit, “Right! I’m sorry for the damage, I got too focused on the battle that I completely forgot all of you guys would be coming here!” He rubs the back of his neck in embarrassment as he appears to be scanning the group.
The yellow mouse jumps onto Ash's shoulders, tilting its head in curiosity as it stares at the group, which it soon smiles and waves in greeting. "Pika!"
"Ah! I remember that voice saying there were others here, um let's introduce ourselves shall we?" Serena mentions as she turns over to Ash
"Right! I'm Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town in the Kanto Region, you guys were properly briefed about the regions so that should help. This is my good buddy Pikachu!" He excitedly says with a smile, as Pikachu gives a small "Pi!" at the mention of his name, jumping on top of Ash's hat. "I'm Serena! It's lovely to meet you all!" follows up Serena with a small wave.
A chorus of "nice to meet you too!"s (varying on the person) go throughout the large group as everyone looks at Pikachu in interest.
I was interested in a few things so I built up the courage to step forward a bit and ask them a few questions, "Um... I was wondering, has the person who brought you here let you know what your Ultimate is? I'm just curious about how they work exactly?"
Both Ash and Serena look at each other as they nod and Ash starts to explain, "Well, from what I was told, I was named "The Ultimate Chosen Pokemon Trainer". You can probably guess why it's obvious that it says Pokemon Trainer, but I may, unfortunately, have an idea why it says chosen though I would rather not go down that topic for now." He shifts nervously with a smile looking at the crowd, the silence prompting him to continue.
"So, I guess the reason I was even called the Ultimate Pokemon Trainer is due to my achievements as a trainer. This is of course not to brag" 'cause that's what people end up thinking' Ash mumbled to himself, making Serena raise an eyebrow in question to that statement "but in our world, there are Pokemon leagues where trainers who either defeat 8 Gym Leaders and receive their badges as evidence of your win, who are slightly stronger trainers chosen by the... uh... Pokemon League committee? I can't remember the name, but anyways, or in the case of the Alola Region, you defeat Trials given to you by the captains of the trials, and compete against each other to become number one. There are leagues in each region and usually done approximately once a year, maybe less. I've gotten every Gym Badge, completed all those Trials I mentioned before, and competed in every league, lowest I've gotten was top 16, the highest being my first win and becoming the first Alolan Champion.
Finally, there is a recent competition called the Pokemon World Coronation Series, where anyone from any region can sign up and try to climb up the ranks to become the strongest trainer in the world. I'll simply say that there are 4 classes, Normal, Great, Ultra, and Master Ranks. Normal is ranked 1000 below, Great is 999 to 100, Ultra is 99 to 9, and Master class is where the top eight Trainers are. Currently, just before appearing here, I had just finished my promotion match to the Masters Rank now being Rank 8."
Ash finishes as takes a moment to breathe after the long explanation, I take a moment to look at everyone's reactions and see that they are quite impressed with said achievements, I mean it does feel like he took a lot of time to finally reach where he is today. Before the silence could drag on too long, Serena brought the attention of everyone by exclaiming in happiness, "Wow! Congrats on reaching the Top 8! I'm so glad your hard work is paying off!" Ash chuckles at the compliment, rubbing the back of his neck in embarrassment.
"Anyways, for my Ultimate, if I'm correct I'm the Ultimate Pokemon Performer. When it comes to performing, it's the ability to bring out the inner beauty of your pokemon, as well as appeasing the audience, more or less bringing happiness to those around you. This is pretty much in the Kalos Region only, though it is going and spreading to other regions. My last major competition in Kalos was me ending up as the runner-up, so I traveled to other regions to further improve my skills, and unexpectedly gained attention. I had also recently participated in the Pokemon Contest Spectacular in the Hoenn region, managing to tie for first place." Serena finishes up her explanation. "Mine might have not been as impressive as Ash's but we're both working hard to achieve our goals!"
I nod in understanding, I mean it is rather difficult to compare what each of them has done but looks like they worked hard to reach where they have today.
Kyoko steps a bit forward analyzing Pikachu on Ash's hat, Ash seems to take the hint and picks off Pikachu from his hat and puts it(?) on his shoulder. "You can come and take a closer look at him if you want! Just make sure not to overcrowd and stress him, it may end up with someone getting shocked, though don't worry! I'll ensure it won't happen to anyone."
Those brave enough stepped forward to "examine" Pikachu, with a few encouraging words from Ash, they approached the small electrical mouse. Some were even brave enough to pet him, surprised to feel how soft Pikachu was. Though that ended up stopping as someone got a bit too comfortable and started to irritate him. The Detectives and the trainer duo were the only ones able to notice the electric mouse starting to charge up.
"W-Wait! Watch out!" Ash yelled as he quickly moved Pikachu in the air away from the crowd getting shocked in the process. A lot of people immediately gasped in worry as a few stepped forward to help Ash.
Though with quick ease Ash gets up laughing at nothing in particular, confusing the crowd in front of them. "Aw man Buddy, you gotta be extra careful you know? At least you hit me and not them. But! I can tell you're getting stronger than ever!" Serena shakes her head with a sigh looking done with the pair.
"Don't worry about me, I get shocked by Pikachu a lot more than you would think, and this kind of electric shock is more or less a warning when he gets rather uncomfortable. He does this kind of shock to me anyway if I sleep too long" Ash attempts to explain to the crowd.
As some of the group were about to ask a few questions, they were interrupted by an echoing voice resonating throughout the gym.
*I AM SORRY TO INTERRUPT BUT I FEEL THAT IT IS NOW TIME YOU ALL CLOSE TODAY'S CHAPTER FOR TOMORROW IS A DAY OF GREAT IMPORTANCE. I WISH THAT NO ONE BE TOO TIRED SO JUST FOR TOMORROW THE MORNING AWAKENING ANNOUNCEMENT WILL GO OFF AT 11:00 AM TO INFORM OF EVERYONE'S PRESENCE AT THE GYM.
I WISH EVERYONE A GOOD NIGHT, I WILL NOT FORCE YOU TO SLEEP RIGHT AWAY BUT THE CAFETERIA AND BATHING LOCATIONS WILL CLOSE IN 20 MINUTES SO TAKE AND DO ANYTHING YOU NEED BEFORE THEN.
I AWAIT FOR YOUR ARRIVAL*
Everyone stares in silence as the announcements finish with those final words echoing inside everyone’s heads. The large group proceeds to walk out of the gym as the doors open up, with good nights ringing out amongst the crowd
I decided to head in for the night waving over to everyone as I walked over to my room with the sound of footsteps echoing behind me with the weight of the unknown looming over as I settle in for the night.

"Are the preparations complete?"
...
"Good, I hope they all meet my expectations, or else I fear that I might not be able to pull them from the looming threat they carry with them."
...
"Would you be fine to step in tomorrow?"
"Joker?"
