Pokémon: The Dawn of Industry

Nemryz
Born with the mind of a modern engineer in a world stuck in the Iron Age, Seiko is the third son of a high lord and the shame of his family. He's seen as a burden—a useless dreamer obsessed with blueprints, numbers, and strange theories that matter to no one. Feared for his intelligence and despised for his lack of martial prowess, he is exiled to the untamed wilds of Unova to die. One less problem for a proud family. But in this untamed frontier, where wild Pokémon are a mortal terror, Seiko's "useless" knowledge is the only power that matters. Alone and on the brink of death, he forges an alliance with a broken Pawniard and makes a promise: he will not just survive. He will build. Armed with the laws of physics and a will of steel, Seiko ignites the first flame of industry. What begins with a simple mud forge becomes tempered steel. Steel becomes machines. Machines are fed by tamed rivers to create electricity. From outcast hermit to prophet-leader, he becomes a man who can create power tools, tame wild beasts with steel engines, and raise walls in days, not decades. But progress is loud. The smoke from his factories and the thunder of his "Lightning Hammer" draw the attention of bandits, the native tribes, and finally, the family that left him for dead. Seiko only wanted to build a refuge; instead, he has forged a nation. Can one man, armed with science, reforge a world... or will the old order crush him before his industrial revolution can even begin?

Sunchaser’s Liberation

Growing up, Jurgen carried an unyielding hatred that he could not understand or explain. It stayed with him through his early years as a constant pressure, manifesting as a persistent need to punish something or someone, though nothing ever seemed sufficient to match what he felt. Over time, this unresolved weight pushed him to blame the world itself, especially as he moved through repeated hardships that forced him to grow stronger both in ability and in his desire for power.

As he matured, Jurgen drifted away from any sense of conventional morality and eventually became a rogue criminal. He was cold, calculated, and highly manipulative, acting without hesitation when it benefited him directly. Whether through deception or killing, he did not restrain himself. He was never the type to act as a hero or place himself in sacrifice for others; in situations of survival, he would always choose himself without hesitation, even if it meant cutting off any path that allowed others to advance. In time, Jurgen would grow greatly in the power he had been pursuing and uncover the true source of his hatred as well as his history. However, understanding it did not alter his direction. Instead, he chose to continue forward on the same path, no longer driven by ignorance but by conscious intent. From that point onward, he evolved beyond a mere criminal into something far more absolute, becoming a tyrannical existence shaped by awareness, conviction, and the refusal to turn back…
