Leaving for a new life

by Thunderluigi

Hoping to escape both his brother's shadow as a pokemon legend and the bullies remarks in his youth, Jake sets out on a journey through the Sinnoh region, with the goal of being able to battle with the best the region can throw at him, but with Team Galactic around and an interesting relationship with his starter pokemon; the journey is going to be anything but normal.

1. Prologue

Prologue: My OC's back-story and introduction

This is my first fanfiction so keep your hate to yourself but any helpful advice in reviews is always welcome.

"Spoken text" = normal talking

'Speech' = thoughts

-Speech- = translated Pokemon text

(Speech) = My personal thoughts

This first chapter is going to be in first person with my character telling his story leading up to chapter 1.

The rest of the chapters are in third person unless otherwise stated at a later point, and it is my version of Pokémon Platinum's story.

Pokémon belongs to Gamefreak and Nintendo, my OC (Jake) belongs to me. (its' me :))

"Hi, my name is Jake and I'm from Goldenrod City in Johto. I'm 15 years old and I now live in Twinleaf Town in Sinnoh as my mum and I moved to Twinleaf about half a year ago. I've not been on a trainer journey and since children usually went on a journey at 10 to 11 years old, I was made fun of when I went out to play in the sometimes crowded streets of Goldenrod. Because of this, and that my mum had just recently divorced from my Dad who was in the International police until they sacked him for threatening a suspect, this caused him to fall into drinking and the odd gambling night. This strained the relationship between my parents until she said the marriage couldn't work and she gave him a small amount of pokédollars to keep as a parting gift before we moved out. She asked me if I wanted to move too, before we left, as she didn't want to force me to leave if I had friends that I wanted to keep playing with, but since they'd moved out about a year before, I said yes because I wanted to get away to the bullies insulting me, plus the idea of seeing new places sounded like a good idea to me. If i said no, we'd just move to a different house in Goldenrod. Mainly because my brother Scott had made a big name for himself and I have been living in his shadow (like Luigi). So I wanted to start travelling myself to see the world and to get out of my brother's shadow. My mum said goodbye to her friends and explained why we were leaving, they understood but were sad to see us leave. Anyway, now that I've explained why I live where I do now. I'm about 5 feet 6 inches in height, and I have blond/light brown hair with green eyes. I'm male, should have said that first."

"It's my 16th birthday tomorrow and my mum said that she had a big surprise prepared for me, I'd asked if I could go on a journey but I never asked for my mum's help in preparing for setting off through Sinnoh. I knew that my brother know the professor of the region, Rowan and he had introduced us to him when he came to visit about a week after we'd moved in and had settled into the house my mum had brought. I need to get to bed now to make sure I'm awake early tomorrow for my birthday." And with that, i settled down in bed and quickly fell asleep, dreaming of the advantages i'd have with my Pokemon team when I left on my journey within the next week after my birthday. Little do I know or expect, the advantage wasn't going to be unfolding in the way I thought it would.

Authors note here

This first one's a bit short since it's just explaining how my character is and where he's from, later chapters are longer and more well-written as it's been a while since I've written any form of a story at all. Lemon warning for later chapters, the rating is there for a reason.

See all of you who read this later i guess.
