Blood In The Water

Blood In The Water is an ongoing Pokemon fanfic. It is primarily OC-centric, but several protagonists from the manga have appeared as cameos. The fic is set in the fictional region of Konar, an island city larger thann Castelia City, where the rumored Champion League(see Bulbapedia for more info on that) takes place. Konar has its own set of Gym Leaders and Elite Four, who are all tougher than the average Gym Leader of their status. Only those who have managed to win a Championship are allowed to enter the tournaments on the island. As such, the League doesn't get much more than a handful of challengers each year.

Plot
The story opens with Anna, Haleigh, and Siobhan, three natives of Konar. They are relaxing with their signature Pokemon (Shieldon, Combee, and Ralts, respectively) when Konar suddenly comes under attack by the newly instated Konar Champion, Josh, who managed to defeat the previous champion Naomi. Josh declares that he has the Gym Leaders under hypnosis, and that the Elite Four has sided with him. Anyone who dares to stand up to him can fight their way through the League and engage him in a battle for the fate of the region's population. Anna, Haleigh, and Siobhan are up to the challenge.
