Double Mercury

You want cute? Cute here. You want dark twisted and murderous? That's also here!

Ryoku and Ashley come from an unknown region. Where both of them were raised by Pokemon, since they were abandoned. This being because theirs region is brutal as shit, to the point where if the kid isn't overflowing with potential, by 5, they're kicked to the wilderness.

Ryoku was taken in by a group of rugged Pokemon. Namely, rhydon, aggron, nidoqueen, lucario and torterra. Ashley, was taken in by a group of shady Pokemon. They're tangrowth, tyranitar, nidoking, scrafty and pangoro. Both punkus were trained to fight, speak and everything else a human should teach their kid, by their parties.

Skip a few years and Ryoku & Ashley are street fighters, for money of course. The both of them crossing paths a few times, but the overall tally is 8:8, an even field! This of course is broken in the fighting tournament, where Ryoku beats Ashley, winning her the riolu egg that becomes Orchid. As well as 250,000 pokedollars prize money. Since all the other contestants were just trainers of the region, letting off steam from the pressure to be the very best, Ryoku goes and uses the money to travel out of the region and take Ashley with her.

Ashley is salty at the idea. The person that beat her down and won the whole tournament, now giving her pity?! Then Ashley is quickly reminded of the region the two live in, when a bunch of salty losers try and gang up on them, to steal the cash. Ashley and Ryoku fight alongside and smack the ever loving shit out of everyone, even the announcers that didn't call security. It took the two long enough, but they found a mutual respect for each other, in the fact that each of them had the other's back.

Ryoku catches a boat to a new region with Ashley with her. And then the events of the comic unfold:
