Notes to the Reader
*WARNING! This will contain spoilers for the Ace Attorney Series and the Undertale game. If you have not played or watched the first 3 games from the Ace Attorney series and the WHOLE of Undertale (all endings), then be advised, you will be disconnected in terms of investment with the story.

This story's Undertale game by Toby Fox was set in 2010. I made the bold decision to make Frisk a female in this fanfiction and have the last name Dreemurr. I have attempted to try to fit this story alongside the Ace Attorney timeline, just to have some resonance with the actual game. Frisk's size in the Undertale game makes it difficult to determine age, so I decided that she would've been about 8 for the sake of this story. So in 2010 Frisk was 8, and this crossover story is set at the end of Phoenix Wright – Trials and Tribulations; which was set in the exact year of 2019 (according to the Ace Attorney Wikia). This means Frisk is now 17 years old.
Here are the ages of the main Ace Attorney Characters (2019); based on the AA Wikia:
Phoenix Wright, Miles Edgeworth = 27.
Franziska von Karma, Maya Fey = 20.
Pearl Fey = 10
Larry Butz = 26
Ema Skye = 18.
Dick Gumshoe = 33.
Undertale ages (2019): The Ages of Asgore and Tauriel (the goat-like monsters) must be about the same, so for the story I will say they look 35 years old immortality with the whole 'no children' factor.
Sans is older than Papyrus, but only by 2 minutes, ages both now 27 for 2019. Finally, I will make Alphys 33 and Undyne 29. Mettaton being a robot will be "fabulously timeless."
To help with the collision of both series, I have set them both in the Ace Attorney world known as Japanifornia, theorised by Ms. Janet Hsu. Now since this is an English fanfiction, we as fans must omit to the official English release of the first Ace Attorney game. It's supposedly in Los Angeles, where the japan version takes place in well… Japan. Ms. Hsu mentions that the English version is set in a place where Japanese and American culture intersect into what we now know as JAPNIFORNIA. So for the duration of this fanfiction. That's the location of where this all takes place.
Now I know what you're thinking, "If it takes place in the same world as Ace Attorney, then how will you explain the fact that the characters have never come across the monsters that you (Me) said were brought into the world by 2010?" Two things: First, I decided 2010, because of Toby Fox's gap missing from Undertale where it says "201X." Secondly, it was convenient to the timeline of Ace Attorney, since nothing eventful happened during 2010 for the Ace Attorney series story wise. So with that in mind, you probably want to know how it all fits in. That will explained in the fanfiction itself.
There will be newly original characters introduced by me but will not be given descriptions just for the sake of using your imagination. Some will have references around their names so see if you can find what they refer to? Finally, this fanfic is friendly to musical themes, some which require the use of YouTube. So if you want, you can play the indicated theme when mentioned. It can help with improving the reading experience. That is all, thank you and enjoy! –Anzac Apelu Laulu.
