This is just some information you might want to know about this story! Please don't let it deter you from the fic.

I hope to update this fanfiction biweekly once I finish with the reconstruction of the first few chapters. We may update more frequently but we want to at least update every 2 weeks.

-Takes place in an alternate version of our world where Pokemon are real.

-Pokemon are sentient creatures that choose to be with trainers, a pokemon can leave it's trainer if it feels mistreated.

-The reason many pokemon choose to join trainers is because of their desire to become stronger, it is a desire that all pokemon have in common. Some wild pokemon simply choose to become stronger without the help of a trainer.

-Most pokemon like to test a trainers ability through battle before allowing the trainer to capture them.

-There are laws against capturing pokemon who are unwilling to join your party, if you are caught the punishment is severe.

-Trainer's are like celebrities or star athletes, many people try to become one but it is rare to succeed.

-People have to be at least 16 years of age in order to obtain their trainer's license.

-Each trainer has to carry around their trainer card as proof that they are not illegally training. On the card is the trainer's name, rank, and card number. This trainer card will act as a passport for trainers of any rank within their home nation. It will also act as an international passport for any trainer with a rank of intermediate or higher.

- There are 5 trainer ranks
*Beginner ( has obtained a trainer's licence)
*Rookie (has qualified for one national league)
* Intermediate (has gotten in the top 100 of one national league)
*Expert ( has gotten in the top 100 of 4 national leagues)
*Master ( has gotten in the top 4 of the international league)

- There are also an additional 3 ranks that exist along side the trainer ranks
*Champion (has placed first in one or more national league)
*Expert Champion ( Has placed first in at least 4 national leagues)
*Master Champion (has placed first in the international league)

-Each continent has an Elite Four. Four trainers with the additional rank champion or higher from the countries within a continent are chosen or compete for the title of elite four.

-Every nation has at least 8 gyms

-Canada has 13 gyms, one in the capital of each province or territory.

*Prince Edward Island - Charlottetown: Water

*New Brunswick - Fredericton: Electric

*Newfoundland and Labrador - : Fighting

*Nova Scotia - Halifax: Poison

*Quebec - Quebec City: Dark

*Ontario - Toronto: Steel - Gym

*Saskatchewan - Regina: Flying

*Alberta - Edmonton: Rock

*British Columbia - Victoria: Grass

*North-west Territories - Yellowknife: Ground

*Yukon Territories - Whitehorse: Ghost

-The USA has 50 gyms, one in each state,if you obtain every badge in the USA you are automatically in the top 100 of the US league. However this rarely happens. Because of the unusually large amount of gyms in the nation, a trainer needs 16 badges to qualify for the US league.

-Gym leaders have several sets of Pokemon and will fight you with the appropriate set depending on how many gym badges you have. Gym leaders may only use up to 5 pokemon no matter what set.

-The national league is held in the country's capital. You need 8 badges to compete. Each national league is held once a year.

-The International league is held in Japan, you must have competed and gotten in the top 100 of 8 national leagues to compete. This event happens once every 4 years.

- The military tends to use Eevee evolutions because of their diversity. They also use pseudo-legendaries, such as tyranitar, salamace etc.

-Weapons like guns don't exist in this world since there were always Pokemon and people used them for this purpose.

-Trainers don't have "starters" in this world, they instead have their "Pokemon regulars"

-Pokemon Regulars are Pokemon which are bonded spiritually to the person and reflect a part of their personality, as such every person has a Pokemon, but of course not all are trainers.

-It is rare for pokemon regulars to leave their trainers, however it does happen if the trainer is particularly cruel.

-Pokemon regulars often act as mediators between trainers and other Pokemon.

-Because the spiritual bond between a human and their regular is strong, some people have a psychic connection with their regular, allowing them to communicate in thoughts.

-Pokemon regulars are not usually put inside poke balls, unless willing or under extreme circumstance. However they may still battle and be used as a member of a trainer's team.

-A Pokemon regular will only evolve if the person it is bonded to has gone through a sort of 'evolution'. For example, if something that happens to you has a great enough influence to your personality, your Pokemon regular will evolve.

-Legendaries are extremely rare and powerful Pokemon. They exist in hiding mostly.

-Legendaries are extremely difficult to catch and generally only be caught when they are willing. Some legendaries are impossible to catch and will only give aid to those who are in dire need of their power
