Pokémon AU

Pokémon AU is an Alternate Universe where character from Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons are portrayed as Pokémon Trainers from the hit franchise Pokémon.

About the AU
In this world, creatures known as Pokémon roam the world in harmony with human beings. When a human reaches age 10 (Anime-universe), they are given a starter Pokémon by their local Professor and set off in the world, catching other Pokémon in devices called Poké-balls. They train the Pokémon, befriend them, use them to battle, and strive to become "Pokémon Masters". Pokémon Trainers can also strive to other ventures, including Gym Leaders, Pokémon Breeders, Pokémon Coordinators, etc.

Because of the radically different nature of the world, the characters, setting, technology, etc., these incarnations of the characters are significantly different from their original counterparts.

When fans infuse the four and other characters with Pokémon, to make them Gijinka - half human and half Pokémon like people - can make this AU an alternative to Hybrid AU.

Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III
Hiccup Haddock is a Pokémon Trainer that normally specializes in Dragon-type Pokémon. Because Dragon-types are naturally powerful and one of the least common types, Hiccup being able to catch one, let alone train one is an impressive feat to behold.

What Pokémon Toothless is often differs from story to story. The most common Pokémon used is Dragonite, (shiny or mega) Charizard and Noivern. One of the more unorthodox decisions amongst fans places Toothless as an Umbreon, a non-dragon Pokemon.

Jack Frost
Jack Frost is a a Pokémon Trainer that normally specializes in Ice-type Pokémon. His partner isn't any particular Pokémon, although he is most often seen with an Glaceon.

Merida DunBroch
Merida DunBroch is often portrayed as either specializing in Fire-Types or with no specific type at all. She is most commonly seen with an Ursaring (representing her mother as a bear) and a group of Teddiursas (her three brothers). Whether she actually caught these bear-like pokémon or if they are wild pokémon she has a bond with differs from story to story.

Rapunzel Corona
Rapunzel Corona's specialty Type is often disputed. Some authors have her specialize in Electric-Types, while others have Fairy-Types.

Her best friend Pascal is commonly portrayed as a Kecleon, which is a Normal-type Pokémon.
