Pokemon AU Part 2 -Marco-
Art by @ ---donivanessdoodles
Repost of mine from libary of ohara
AN: I tried to smush in OP lore for some characters and mix it in a workable way for Pokemon but I’m not 100% in the know so I did my best.
AN: I wanted to go down Marco being a navigator route more than a doctor, but with some herbology, knowledge to help his and other people’s pokemon.
Meet The Team
Starmie always seemed like a strange choice when people would ask about the man’s team. He would chuckle and shrug his shoulders without giving much away. The truth was, Marco hadn’t planned on being a pokemon trainer, it wasn’t that he didn’t like the idea, not at all.
He just wanted to go to the sea and learn navigation. He spent every day down by the beach as a child and watched the ships come in. Wishing that he could take to see and learn everything there was to learn one day.
It was that day that Marco while trying to work out patterns the ships would come in from, slipped and tumbled into the sea. His Starmie saw him struggling and came to his aid, making sure he was fine.
From that day on the same Starmie would be waiting by the rocks, as if to make sure the boy would be safe. He later came back with a Pokeball, asking the pokemon if he wanted to join him.
Starmie and Marco have been together ever since.
–
Pidgeot [a pigdey when he met them] was his second pokemon when he was older, late teens, he’d been reading a lot on herbs and their effect on pokemon after he’d started to watch all the wild bird pokemon snap and eat at certain ones. He would sit and watch for hours when he needed a break from navigation studies.
He liked watching bird pokemon, they were the masters of navigation. Always knowing where to go, how far, could go by smell miles away just to get to a landmark they recognised. It always had him fascinated.
That was when he picked up all the other little quirks from the birds and started to take notes on what plants they would chomp at.
One Pidgey would always come close to Marco who would sit there quietly. A smile on his face as the bird pecked at his book, hoping for food. He’d share his lunch with the bird, watching him fly off every day before meeting him each morning.
Marco caught him one day and the pokemon has grown with Marco over the years, gives him good insight on what plants seem to have healing/helping properties and helps with learning certain sea patterns around the year.
–
Cramorant was obtained by Marco when he was older. He was starting to sail with Whitebeard, as a navigator. The bird had pretty feathers, but he would always watch them being stupid and his Cramorant had to have been the dumbest one he’d ever seen.
Each time he would come home he’d see the bird swallowing anything and everything it could get. He’d seen the damn thing almost choke to death on a small geodude, that was when Marco stepped in.
Capturing it for its own good. He at least got a new friend, the pokemon was hardly weak either. He didn’t use this one to help him learn anything, but he still cares for him all the same.
—
Tropius was a fun find, he’d been sailing with Whitebeard for some years now, they’d stopped by a tropical island, needing to anchor the ship somewhere safe while a storm he’d predicted rolled over the ocean. They explored the island for a bit where Marco found pineapples.
Sitting and eating them he watched as his Tropius lurched over and sniffed at all the fallen pineapples. Marco chuckled and held one out, which the creature took happily. Marco wondered if he fed the pokemon nothing but pineapples.. would that be a new variant?
He was charmed by the tropical pokemon and caught him. Wouldn’t hurt to have something other than birds and Starmie as part of the team.
–
Pidove was simple, the little thing had got lost at sea and ended up on the ship. Marco would feed it every day and it would simply sit on his window as he worked. Cooing and making happy sounds.
He became a comfort to Marco, every morning the bird would be there, singing and making sounds and he would roost on the empty supply barrel on the wall outside. Marco was fond of the Pidove and simply tapped him with a Pokeball and the rest was history.
The pokemon are happy to be accepted.
—
Exeggutor was from his and Ace’s trip for their first anniversary. They stayed at this cabin and the palm tree-like pokemon would always smell food and stick its neck in through the window. At first, it was funny, and Ace laughed and teased him about looking just like one.
Every mealtime Exeggutor would try and shove its head in and get something to eat, he blamed Ace, he always fed wild pokemon which attracted them.
Marco had to catch it in the end just to stop it. He then grew fond of it during their vacation and felt it fit in with his team.

Marco’s Story
He’s the person you find walking around near the start handing out potions and good advice. He’s learned from his studies as well as watching his pokemon interaction with certain vegetation how to make healing potions.
Knows his berries at a glance.
His true passion is navigating and has honed his abilities since he was young. Whitebeard would be lost both metaphorically and physically without him. He’s first in command when Whitebeard is being challenged with the rest of the elite four.

As I'm currently on my Zoro Streak, and I'd love to have some Pieces match to one another, I did another One Piece x Pokémon Crossover.
I have thoroughly analyzed my Choices of Pokémon for Zoros Team, so here they are assembled!
I think the palette works great, I have yet another complementary contrast included (also I love all the complementary contrasts, really enjoy working with them).
Hope you enjoy my work!
❤️ANY Support is GREATLY Appreciated ❤️

Zoro's choice of Pokemon
I know this is a little silly and out of the field, but hear me out. I tried to handpick the Pokémon for my Brook x Pokémon Artwork (Jokes on you they are all Ghosts), so I thought if I would to make a second one of those with Zoro now...
What would his Pokémon be?
I think I narrowed them down to be these six, and I'll give a short elaboration on those:
Aegislash & Duoblade: Kind of Obvious choice, I think. I'd go with both of them, so he actually wields three swords.
Slaking: Zoro is a known Slacker, be it sleeping on ships or taking a nap on a random spot mid-arc. He'd appreciate someone of his mentality and physical appearance. (Also, they are both canon stinkers)
Bisharp: Bisharp is literally an edge, which is very much to Zoros liking. Bisharp is also canonically Defiant which is an attribute I'd add to Zoro as well.
Samurott (Hisuian): Samurott owns the will of a Samurai and is literally a nitoryu-style Samurai. No more points added.
Gallade (Mega): Honestly, I was aiming for a Mega, and Mega Gallade suits the deal the most. Zoro would adore it, I believe (He's got cool sword adjacent arms?!).
We now have an over 80% rate of Swors or Swordwielders in Zoros Team, which should be accurate for his very sword heavy personality (the rest is literally sla[c]king)
