Pokémon: Above the Top

Pokémon: Above the Top by Romeloff邙月 follows Sato, a being who once served as a weapon, his life defined by solitude and being controlled by others. Granted a second chance, his initial desires were simple: escape his past, reunite with lost companions, and achieve personal strength. However, Sato now yearns for more, pushing beyond his previous limitations. The synopsis also introduces various Pokémon with their own philosophies and motivations, hinting at their roles in Sato's journey. These include Zoroark, whose "ultimate illusion" blurs reality and fantasy; Gengar, who states, "Fear comes from within the heart"; Tyranitar, asserting the inviolability of its pseudo-legendary pride; Ariados, embracing its "naturally adorable" poison at its peak; Sharpedo, proclaiming the ability to fly without wings; Houndoom, gaining strength with more underlings; Umbreon, who finds acting cute "never an option"; and Cacturne, who asks, "If you love me, hug me!" This collection of sentiments suggests a world where Pokémon and their individual strengths play a significant part in Sato's evolving aspirations.
