The Harder They Come
Title: The Harder They Come [WIP]
Author: kuruk22
Beta-Reader: aztecravemonkey
Final Tally: 43,563 words [WIP], one work of art (delayed due to technical difficulties).
Verse: Games - Generation III - IV
Characters/Pairings: Green, Red, Leaf, Domino, Silver, Giovanni, Team Rocket Executives, Professor Oak, Blaine, Lance. Green/Red. Green/Leaf. Red + Leaf. Domino + Silver. Giovanni/Ariana. Lance/Leaf.
Rating: R
Warnings: violence, torture, character death, child and pokémon abuse, explicit language, sexual material, speculation, unethical medical practices, heavy AU.
Summary: Green and Red are kidnapped and trained by Team Rocket as children. Torn apart by relentless ambition, reticent compassion and inescapable duty, Green, Red and Leaf bring Team Rocket - and the world as they know it - crashing headfirst into revolution.
Notes: This is a work in progress. Updates will be made as I write them. I took some liberties in creating a history, political climate, and economic situation for the story. It's a sort of alternate Earth that, in addition to being inhabited by pokémon, diverges from our world after the Second World War. Buys into the theory that Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh and Orre are different prefectures of real world Japan and that Unova is the United States. I hope that you enjoy!
