Author's Note: I know I was supposed to be working on "Ian's Pokemon Adventure", but this idea came to me when my sister said to me "What if pokemon started to pop up all over the world". I'm writing this to help inspire me to write more on my other story. Here's an intro for a story I'll be working on whenever I get stuck on "Ian's Pokemon Adventure.
Pokemon in the Real World
In a normal weekend, as any other, the Kegan family had a lazy morning. Everyone was doing the same thing. My sister was watching Digimon on the TV, my brother was sorting his Yu-Gi-Oh cards, while I…I was playing my favorite game, Pokemon: Platinum.
"Go Renamon, Go!" my sister yelled.
"Hey. Is the Harpy Lady deck better than "Righteous Judgement?" My brother said over his phone.
As for me, I played quietly on the couch in the living room. My name is Allen, 16 years old and still playing what some people call "a kids game". But if it makes me happy, why should I quit it? They say "All Pokemon games are the same" but yet play "Call of Duty" sixteen hours a day.
"Ding Dong" the doorbell went, breaking my concentration while I was battleing Roark to get my first gym badge. When I got up, I noticed that something about the area had changed, like a strange presence. Opening the front door, I saw a large box in the step. Seeing how this was just ordinary mail, it was my usual duty to bring it in and sort it for everyone to grab.
This was a large item, but was light. Bringing it into the kitchen, I read the label, it said "Dear Occupants, you'll need these for the unexpected is about to happen". Opening it, I found a familiar item, it was like a ball. The top half was red and the bottom was white with a black line cutting through the two. "A pokeball?"
This wasn't the only one, but there were thirty, so about six for everyone in my family. Thinking about their intersts, I thought I'd keep these for myself. So then, the phone began to ring.
Answering it, it was Darius, my best friend who lived down the street. We'd occasionally have a Pokemon battle. But he owns Pokemon: White and I haven't been training my Pokemon on there often.
"Hey Allen, did you get pokeballs in the mail too?"
"Yeah I replied"
"I was wonder what these were for so…HEY LOOK AT THAT" Darius said before the phone cut off.
Walking into the living room with my new possessions my sister's show cut off and the news report came on.
"We're sorry to interrupt this program for this important news bulletin. Massive creatures have been seen flying across the sky moments ago, strange as it is, could this be a sign? These creature have been caught by an amateur camera man"
The screen began to play a slow-mo of the caught tape. The next images shocked me as they flickered on the screen. Large shadowed figures were flying through the sky, and I knew what they were.
"Arcues? Zekrom? Mewtwo? Charizard? Cresselia? Lugia?"
"As the native animals around the world start to disappear, they're being replaced by roughly similar animals with unusual power. So far, we count 502 different species of them. In addition to this, odd buildings have appeared around the world, about one in each major city and eight in each continent, which counts to about 40 of these buildings worldwide. And to make this even stranger, five gangs have formed known as Team Rocket, Team Aqua, Team Magma, Team Galactic, and Team Plasma."
I didn't know how to react to this, jump in joy as my lifelong dream came true, or sit there in awe. Without any thought, I ran upstairs to grab my Halloween costume. A custom made trainers outfit that had a large backpack, black jeans, a blue silk shirt with a black vest with a pokeball insignia on the right side. A scarf that was thin to keep cool in summer, but warm in the winter. Blue sneakers, and a special belt used to hold pokeballs.
I felt like screaming for joy knowing that one of my most valued wishes came true. But screaming is for girls.
Running down the steps, I saw my family holding pokeballs in their hands, examining them.
"Allen, what are these? I know you know since these are in your "Pokaman" games"
Grabbing what was left in my box I ran for the door. "Uh…dad, I'm going over to Darius's to play some game, I'll see you later on tonight"
"…But Allen, What are…" I slammed the door and ran over to Darius's house, only to see that he also had his trainer's costume on.
"Isn't this cool? I always wanted to be a pokemon trainer"
Agreeing, I noticed two small creatures walking along the street.
"Hey, Isn't that…?"
"Yes…they are"
The two of us froze there, seeing two REAL LIVE pokemon right there in front of us.
"Isn't that a Snivy and Chimchar"
"Yeah"
"I CALL DIBS ON THE CHIMCHAR" Darius yelled out throwing one of his pokeballs at it.
"Fine" I said, throwing a pokeball at the Snivy.
The two were absorbed in a red light and sucked into the pokeball.
Darius then ran at the pokeball and grabbed it before the capture was complete. Just as the pokeball opened a crack, Darius held it shut with all his might so it wouldn't escape. "That was MUCH more easier and fun than the game".
Mine caught the Snivy before it got loose.
We both let out our pokemon, and they both just looked at us like.
"I'll call mine Chip" Darius said, looking into the Chimchars eyes.
"I'll call mine…" I couldn't think of any good names, so then I examined the body features to see if there was anthing to help sprout a name until I saw the tail.
"I'll call it Leaf"
Author's Note: If you've read any of my previous stories, you'll wonder why I name the Snivy Leaf, and why it was a Snivy in the first place. That's simple, SNIVY IS FUCKING AWESOME. I'll work on this when I get free time, and it's nice to work on something fresh for once. PLEASE leave a review.
