You are challenged by Phantom Thief Joker!
First in hopefully a full set of a Phantom Thieves/Pokemon Crossovers. In this verse they’re still chasing baddies, and people still think they’re the baddies, and Akira just wants all of his friends to be happy while ignoring running from all his own problems.
Akira’s team:

Even the leader of the Phantom Thieves needs a hug sometimes!
And while I’m here, have some headcanons about my fluffy-haired nerd:
• Akira is short sighted. In the metaverse, his eyesight doesn’t get much better so he tends to stick close to his team. And, well, if he abuses his third sight, nobody but him has to know.
•
When people ask about the cat Akira is always carrying around, he explains that Morgana is a therapy animal to help his anxiety. Later, when Ryuji and Ann ask if it’s really the case if gives a crooked smile and says ‘of course not’. (Morgana knows he’s lying, but says nothing. Ann and Ryuji don’t believe him.)
• Akira is sleep deprived 24/7. Because of this, he can sleep almost ANYWHERE. He can sleep standing up if need be. Usually he doesn’t nap around others, but it doesn’t take long for him to trust his friends to keep him safe.
• On mornings when Akira’s sitting at the Cafe bar with shaking hands and dark smudges under his eyes, Sojiro will silently make him a cup of tea then distract him with small talk.
•
He has a horrible habit of keeping all of his problems to himself, and will generally not open up until he’s on the tipping point.
What’s the matter…? Are you simply going to watch? Are you forsaking him to save yourself? Death awaits him if you do nothing. Was your previous decision a mistake then? Very well…I have heeded your resolve. Vow to me. I am thou, thou art I…Thou who art willing to perform all sacrilegious acts for thine own justice! Call upon my name, and release thy rage! Show the strength of thy will to ascertain all on thine own, though thou be chained to Hell itself!

I bought Persona 5 and HOO BOY I love my nerd and delinquent so much let me tell you if I can’t romance Ryuji I WILL NOT ROMANCE ANYONE AT ALL.
Please feel free to scream at me about these two
