Outside the Spring High National Tournament, Oikawa Toru came across Ushijima Wakatoshi, who had been crushing him for three years, and couldn't help pulling a face of anguish.
At the same time and place, Tachibana Ryo, who had also come to watch the volleyball tournament, ran into Akashi Seijuro, fresh off a championship win at the Winter Cup next door, and immediately turned and ran.
"Barren soil cannot produce outstanding fruit, Oikawa. You should come to Shiratorizawa."
"A weak team can't bring out your full potential, Ryo. Rakuzan is where you belong."
Seijoh's current starting setter and backup middle blocker looked at each other from afar.
What a coincidence. You're getting poached too, huh?

Tachibana Ryo, once one of the Generation of Miracles and the strongest small forward in middle school, joined the Seijoh volleyball team in high school.
"Victory is just a by-product of the process. From the very beginning, all I wanted was to enjoy playing with everyone... I had no choice before, but now I want to play volleyball."
"Is that why you switched sports?"
"That's right. So, Akashi, could you put down the scissors?"
-
"Oikawa, would you be interested in learning about the Zone, synchronization, or vanishing dribble?"
"...Tachibana, have you played so many games that you've lost your mind?"
"How rude. It's called the power of bonds. I have a friend who once said tennis... no, basketball... no, anyway, volleyball isn't a one-person sport. Yeah, that's it."

* Male protagonist, no romance, focused on playing sports
* A crossover of sports anime, with no supernatural or unrealistic elements, and no Starter Pokémon
* Seijoh will win the national championship once and qualify for nationals two or three times. Karasuno's run stays the same
* I couldn't get permission to use Pokemon, so I got annoyed and started a new project. I've had this idea since last September. I'll write it once I've reread the Haikyuu!! manga
Theme: Never forget your original aspirations and pursue your dreams
