Welcome to the wonderful world of Pokemon! My name is Professor Cedar, and I have been a Professor on Pokemon for eighty nine years. And I started when I was about your age…umm sorry what was your name again? Ah, yes I remember you are Joe! Umm can you remind me, are you a boy or a girl? Of course you are a strapping young man! Apologies as I am quite old, anyway you are about to embark on a journey through the wonderful region of Raizo, a place where Pokemon of all the five regions live in peace and harmony. Are you ready to meet new friends, face imminent danger and become legend?

It was morning and the sun had shined upon a small cottage in the quiet town of Sapling Town. This small cottage contains the great hero of the region. However he doesn't know it yet. He will be starting his journey when he wakes up. The young hero had short dark brown hair and light tan skin. His room was filled to the brim with many Pokemon collectibles. His large carpet on the floor had a Poke Ball pattern, his alarm clock was in the shape of a Loudred, his fan blades were in the shape of Pidgeotto wings and was going at a very lazy but steady pace, and his desk was filled with small statues of Pokemon and the computer had a few stickers of various Pokemon as well.
This seventeen year old boy was among the other seventeen year old Trainers in the League, as they decided to wait until they were more educated until they had started their journey. Once a person was ten then they could decide if they wanted to be a Trainer. The impatient young ones sometimes jumped into a journey only to come back to town in tears as they have not learned enough about Pokemon to continue past the first Gym Leader after several attempts. Some of these young Trainers learned that it is best to be patient and learn more until they felt that they were ready. This young hero was one of them.
After the clock had reached seven in the morning a loud alarm is heard. The young teen barely stirs whereas Pokemon outside the house wake up. His mother, a slender woman with long brown hair, dark brown eyes, wearing a dark blue apron and a light tan dress underneath it went upstairs and yelled "Joe wake up!" That seemed to do the trick as he literally jumped out of bed and fell on the floor. He looked around and saw that his mother was smiling at him. He realized what today was and he quickly changed into the new traveling clothes that his mother gave him. He had a plain black t-shirt that was covered by a two tone dark and light blue jacket, blue jeans that had fit him a bit loose, a black belt that had six spots for his Poke Balls, black wire framed glasses, and to top it all off he wore his favorite cap that was green and white and in the center of the hat was a symbol of his Poke Ball. As he was about to leave his mother had stopped him for a brief moment.
Mom: Now don't forget your backpack
Joe: I won't
Mom: And I have one more gift for you.
She pulled out what looked like a small cell phone like device that was primarily black but had a dark green protective case. It was a new model of the famous Xtransceiver that was originally from the Unova region. Joe had looked at his mother and he hugged her fighting back the tears.
Joe: I promise I will be back Mom
Mom: I know. Now go out there and start your adventure before I have second thoughts about this.
Joe had nodded and began to run across town. With this being a very small community he knew almost everyone in town and said a quick "Hello," before he reached his final destination. A large building that had an orange colored roof. It was Professor Cedar's house and lab. As Joe was about to turn the handle of the door when he heard an explosion from the inside. He ran inside and the room was filled with a dark black smoke. As it was clearing Joe had seen a young scientist that was holding two beakers and was covered in soot. Next to him was an elderly man in a white lab coat, no hair on his head but a neatly groomed white beard that reached the floor, and very thick, large framed glasses. With the aid of a cane that had a Poke Ball on the top he whacked the young scientist on the head
Professor: Well now we know that we do not mix those two chemicals right?
The young scientist nodded slowly and then the Professor came to notice that Joe was standing right there and he instantly became nice.
Professor: My, my Joe! Welcome to my lab, sorry for the mess but this young man is new at the lab so this mess had occurred. Any way are you ready to pick your Pokemon?
Joe had nodded and followed the Professor out to the back. Unlike the other regions where a Professor would hand out one of three Pokemon starters, in the Raizo Region a Trainer would be able to catch their first Pokemon out of all the fifteen Starter Pokemon. They usually hung out in groups and it was up to the Trainer to decide which one they wanted and befriend it. This sometimes took hours but it had been tradition in this region and no one had questioned it. Joe was walking around the pen and saw a plethora of all the Starter Pokemon. He knew that they were all young and for some reason never fought each other so they all stayed at the same strength.
He was walking around and saw that a Bulbasaur was looking at him with interest but then that Bulbasaur looked at Joe and ran away. Joe sighed as he kept walking and he saw a Chimchar chattering away with a Treecko when they saw Joe and ran. As he was walking further he had heard a small cry and he followed it until he had reached the source of the noise. It was both an Oshawott and a Cyndaquil trapped underneath a log. Doing the right thing he had lifted the log freeing both Pokemon. The Oshawott cried in appreciation and left back to the small stream. The Cyndaquil had stayed because its foot was injured. Joe instantly picked the Pokemon up and rushed to the Professor who was sitting at his desk looking over some papers. He saw that Joe was carrying the Cyndaquil and instantly took the Pokemon in his arms and cleared his desk. After making a small bandage that was around the Cyndaquil's foot the Professor had sighed in relief.
Professor: Good thing you got her in here just in time. She would have had a tough time trying to get to her food in this condition.
Joe was thinking that he should go and look for his Starter, but he stayed and lingered around the Cyndaquil. He was looking at her caringly and she then jumped into his arms and began to nestle in his arms.
Professor: It seems that she has taken a liking to you, and I take it that you are going to keep her?
Joe just nodded as he took out a Poke Ball and opened it and with little resistance he had caught her. After a few second he had released her from her Poke Ball and she climbed up to his shoulders and stayed there.
Professor: Are you going to nickname her?
Joe pondered this for a moment. When he had originally thought of nicknames he was thinking of names if he received a male. However one nickname seemed to stick to his head.
Joe: Hey girl, do you like Cyndi?
She nodded and nuzzled his cheek and he laughed and the Professor smiled. He then slapped his head in realization. He walked over to his desk drawers and opened them until he had pulled out five Poke Balls and a slim red device. The red device was known throughout the area as a PokeDex. This thing was a virtual encyclopedia and knew everything about anything Pokemon. Joe then scanned Cyndi and out came a computerized voice
CYNDAQUIL- The Fire Mouse Pokemon; it has a timid nature. If it is startled then the flames on its back burn more vigorously.
Joe was interested on the little device when the Professor whacked him on the head with his cane to gain back his attention.
Professor: As you know, it is your job as a Trainer to gather as much information about Pokemon as possible. Also if you should meet other Trainers in battle you cannot run as if you would should you encounter a wild Pokemon.
Joe: I already know that Professor
Prof.: But you may not know that the Gym Leaders will show you no mercy. I have heard that the current batch of Gym Leaders are among the toughest of the tough. I don't want to spoil what their types are but I can assure you that these young ones are very strong. I wish you the best of luck on your journey. As of this moment on you are now an official Pokemon League Trainer!
So that was the first step of a hero's journey. What new adventures lie out in the horizon? Will Joe and Cyndi meet their match soon? Stay tuned to find out

A/N: Yes I know it is a tired plot but I feel that I should stick my hand in this jar. Being that this is my first Pokemon fic I figured that I should go with something that me and my brothers always wished would happen. A place where the Pokemon from every region would be. Now I am asking you the readers for a big favor. Although I have an impressive imagination (I don't mean to brag of course) I still can't make a ton of characters with varying personalities. So what I am asking you the readers of this fic is to fill out the OC form below and submit either a random trainer, rival, travel companion, a Gym Leader, an Elite Four member, a Champion, or a Villain. I also need a sort of antagonistic team and what they believe in
Name:
Age (10-85):
Appearance (skin color, eye shape, clothing, etc)
Position in story (Trainer, Gym Leader, etc.)
Personality:
Bio:
Pokemon Party (if a Gym Leader or Elite Four member must have specific type, limit six, no legendary)
-If Gym Leader what is the name of the badge and what number (ex Brock is the first and uses Rock type Pokemon):
Would you like a love interest in the story? If so with who or what kind of person:
*Ideas for team name for Villain and goals of the team (ex Team Rocket-steal and sell strong Pokemon):
Anything that I may have missed:
Well that is the application form. I am looking for one rival, two travel companions (one male, one female), eight Gym Leaders, four Elite Four members, one Champion, one major Villain Leader, and an infinite amount of random Trainers. You can submit up to three and for the Gym Leaders and Elite Four it will be first come first served. As for Champion, I will accept those through PM only, meaning that you must PM me if you want your OC to be Champion. I am open to all criticism but no flames. Read and Review. Peace.
