Full Moon: A Pokémon Fan fiction by Wolvanite
Chapter 1:
It was dark.
Talia lay in coldness of the night, the blood seeping from the wound on her shoulder, entwining with the water and the mud in which she lay. The pain was so excruciating, that all she could do was bite her lip to stop herself from crying out. The thunder that raged in the sky ricocheted through the ground. The rain ran down her face and soaked through her brown hair and her clothes, crept into her crimson eyes and mingled with her tears.
As she lay there, the pain jabbing at her, and the dizziness threatening to take over, she caught sight of her Pokémon, resting in their Pokéballs.
'Good,' she thought 'If only I could just get to them in time, I could-'
As the darkness started to swarm her vision, she just caught glimpse of a black helicopter, as dark as a raven's wings, laying down to rest on a patch of grass nearby before the darkness enveloped her completely.

Talia woke up with a start. She looked around her room and gave a great yawn. She had deemed it too cold to get out of bed, so she snuggled up under her duvet. She sighed. It is always too hard to go back to sleep in Littleroot Town because of all the Taillow who, at 7am did their daily screech attack in the distance. No point in going back to sleep now that she was awake. Talia willed herself to pull of the warm covers, and yanked open the curtains. She squinted as rays of sun hit her like a fist. She took a look outside her window, across to the abnormally strangely quiet park. Hmm. Strange. No kids playing soccer. No kids playing Frisbee. Usually kids would be playing outside by no-
She quickly raced over to her bed and checked her Snorlax-clock, and allowed a great grin to spread across her face.
This was the day.
This was the day that every kid has been waiting for, ever since they were born. This was the day that children the age of ten were allowed to get their official Pokémon license, and a Pokémon partner, and to start their Pokémon journey to become a Pokémon master!
Of course, not just anyone could qualify to become a Pokémon master because in order to do so, you will have to defeat all eight gym leaders in different towns, and then compete in the Hoenn League, and if you win, you become a champion, and a Pokémon master, too.
Talia ran to her closet, and packed her green country road-style tote bag with the essentials – a water bottle, microwavable food, snacks, extra clothes, all needed for the long and harsh Pokémon journey road.
She got dressed in her favorite blue miniskirt, some sneakers, a yellow tank top, a white cardigan, her purple scarf, and some white sunglasses as well, and then ran down the stairs. Her mother had left her a note saying that she had gone to the shops to get some supplies, and that she will meet her outside Professor Birch's lab and also had left her some cornflakes. Talia ripped open the cereal box, dumped the milk into her bowl and wolfed down her breakfast, although it was more like choking, and sprinted down to Professor Birch's laboratory.
The cool breeze whipped by and stung her cheeks as she ran through the front gates of The Lab. Talia rang the doorbell.
"Who is- oh, hello Talia, are you here for your first Pokémon?"
"I sure am, Professor!"
"Okay come right this way"
He ushered her into his vast laboratory, and as she walked brusquely with Professor Birch, she observed her surroundings.
Talia was in a vast workplace, the walls lined with bookcases, laden with books all on Pokémon. The workspace was well kept, even for a building this large. Pictures of Pokémon were spread out here and then, and some technical-looking lab equipment was spread out across the floor.
"Lucky you came here early, all Pokémon but one have been taken but one. But you might not what it and it may be too hard for you to handle…."
"Oh Professor, I want it! I am ready!"
"Ok, fine but I warn you, this one is a bit strange…"
Professor Birch handed Talia a Pokéball containing the very Pokémon that may either take her to the top, or drag her down to the bottom of the sinkhole.
She swallowed and narrowed her eyes and thought of the endless possibilities that the Pokémon inside this very Pokéball could bring. Tala gripped the ball tightly and with her index finger, she pushed the button on the Pokéball and was surprised to find a…
