Universe: My Hero Academia x Pokémon Crossover

Character: Izuku Midoriya

Quirk: (Before Training) Iron Ball, (After Training) Iron Legend

Quirk Descriptions and Drawbacks :

• Iron Ball: The user has a more durable skin layer than the average human; however, the enhanced defense provided by quirks is considered weak compared to other defense-oriented quirks. The user also has an increased IQ compared to the average person their age and has a quicker affinity for learning new things.

o Drawbacks of Iron Ball: Due to this quirk, the user is physically weak, especially in the arms and legs. The user can only see out of one eye despite having two of them. The user's growth is also stunted, stuck at 3 ft 6.5 inches. The user also suffers increased damage from fire, darkness, and spectral-related quirks compared to the average person.

• Iron Legend: Through intense physical and mental training, the Iron Ball quirk undergoes a dramatic evolution and becomes the quirk Iron Legend. During this process, the user experiences a thrilling growth spurt, going from roughly 3 feet 6.5 inches to 5 feet 10.5 inches (so Izuku goes from being as tall as Minoru Mineta to being as tall as Tenya Ida). The user also gains the ability to see out of both eyes and significant muscle mass throughout the body. As a result of the quirk evolution, the user significantly strengthens the capabilities of the Iron Ball quirk while also gaining various new skills, marking a significant transformation.

o Abilities of Iron Legend Quirk:

 Supercomputer-like Intelligence

 Superhuman Strength

 Analytical Vision

 Iron-like Durability

 Speed, Power, and Defense Augmentation

 Iron Claws

 Levitation

 Psychic Powers

 Hyper Beam

 True Armored Beast 

o Drawbacks of Iron Legend: Much like the drawbacks of Iron Ball, the user of this evolved quirk still takes increased damage from fire, darkness, and spectral-related quirks compared to the average person.

Ship: Izuku x Jasmine, Mei Hatsume, Yui Kodai, and Reiko Yanagi 

Description of Idea: Freak, loser, worthless, runt, damn nerd, waste of space: These were all words that surrounded one silver-haired and red-eyed boy named Izuku Midoriya during his young adolescent life, and all because he desired to be a pro-hero with what had been labeled by his peers as a worthless quirk.

Now, Izuku's quirk, Iron Ball, did grant Izuku an increased IQ compared to kids his age. He also had more durable skin, making it more difficult for him to get cuts and bruises. Still, it was the quirk's negative impact on his physical appearance that resulted in him becoming the target of constant bullying and belittlement at school. His quirk stunted his growth, preventing him from growing any taller than he was at four. He was incredibly skinny and had no visible muscle in his arms and legs. Finally, the quirk caused him to seemingly lose sight in one of his eyes, resulting in him having monocular vision. 

The idea of someone with such a quote and quote pathetic and weak body, all the while having a quirk with no quote on quote flashiness or evident strength whatsoever, led to Izuku quickly becoming the equivalent of the fool that everyone loved to pick on and knock down at school.

Today was an exceedingly terrible day for the silver-haired boy. He was suicide baited by his once childhood friend turned bully Katsuki Bakugo after the ash blond-haired boy destroyed his hero notebook; the girl who had been the only source of kindness during Izuku's current year at Aldera was revealed to have only been nice to him due to a punishment game which he found out the hard way when her quote on quote real friends dumped a bucket of sewage water on his head and laughed at how he will always be a lonely delusional freak after the girl asked to talk to him after school and to top it all off, his idol for so long, All Might, told Izuku that he couldn't be a hero with a quirk like his.

Now, an emotionally broken Izuku was wandering through the streets of Musutafu when he suddenly came across a horrifying scene. The same Sludge Villain that All Might saved him from earlier was now holding Bakugo and the same girl who betrayed him just an hour earlier hostage. Izuku was surprised that neither the pro heroes nor the first responders were doing anything to save the two kids. Before Izuku knew it, he was running towards the Sludge Villain in a desperate attempt to help the two hostages as if his legs had a mind of their own. Just as the villain was about to attempt to crush Izuku, a hulking figure rushed in front of Izuku and protected the silver-haired boy by covering him with a blue barrier. 

When Izuku looked up to find out who the individual was that just protected him from the attack, his eyes widened in shock when he saw a large bipedal creature with a grey exoskeleton partially coated in plates of silver armor

Much to the shock of Izuku and everyone in the crowd, the mysterious creature managed to defeat the Sludge Villain, retrieve the hostages, and extinguish the fires within minutes of arriving.

Not long after stopping the chaotic scene from escalating further, the mysterious creature detransformed and revealed himself as the former top 8 hero, Iron Armor Hero: Bossgodora, also known as Steven Stone.

Much to the shock of the active pro-heroes on the scene and one Katsuki Bakugo, the former top 8 hero praised Izuku for his bravery and wished to speak to Izuku privately. During this private conversation, Steven learns more about Izuku's past and dream to be a hero. Izuku was about to say how it was hopeless to have such a dream when he had such a weak quirk, only for Steven to reveal that his quirk has the potential to be one of the most powerful in the world. It turns out that Izuku possesses an exceptionally rare kind of hybrid quirk known simply as an armored beast quirk: a quirk that may appear weak at first, but with proper physical and mental training, it will evolve into something truly powerful. The former Steel Armor Hero then asks Izuku a single question: Would he like to come to his home on Mossdeep Island to train so that his unique quirk can evolve into its true form? 

This encounter with former top 8 hero would mark the beginning of an intense year-long journey for Izuku that would not only change him both mentally and physically but also help him heal the emotional damage to both his self-esteem and his heart caused by years of mistreatment by his peers.

By the time Izuku returns to Musutafu one year later for the UA Entrance Exam alongside his close friend, Jasmine, whom he met while training with Steven on Mossdeep Island, Izuku is entirely different from the insecure and self-deprecating boy that Steven saved from the Sludge Villain. Now, he is a tall, strong, and confident young man ready to make his dream of becoming a hero who can bring hope to anyone a reality, no matter who stands in his way.
