Ok, so this is my first time doing something like this. Feel free to send in some new pokemon or a character or two or even an idea for the plot. But don't worry I'll credit you if I like the idea. There'll be forms at the bottom. There are probably a lot more of this type of story, so please excuse the clichés I'm sure will appear. Enjoy. Flames will be used fro s'mores. By the way… bouken means 'adventure' in Japanese.
Hazel Savage stepped off of the train and walked through the station, to the passageway to the outside, excited to see what lay beyond. She had her other pokemon in her bag (in their pokeballs, of course), and her partner, Archie at her side. Archie was a Growlithe hatched from an egg. He had inherited one move from breeding: Crunch. His father was an Arcanine.
"Let's go Archie. We're going into a new region, with lots of new pokemon!" she said. Archie barked in agreement. Ruff. The pair kept walking through the tunnel until they were standing on a large circular viewing platform. It was overlooking a huge grassy field surrounded by wilderness. There were people milling about, chatting excitedly for the grand opening of the Bouken Region.
A man with an unusually large mustache was standing on a podium near a tall wrought iron gate with a large key in his hands. He was the mayor, Benjamin Goode. He also had a too-big top hat on his head, which made him look ridiculous.
"Come one and all!" he said. Mayor Benny was smiling and waving to the masses. Hazel didn't know exactly why the new region had a mayor already. There was only one town, and it was next to the station. The Bouken region was mostly wilderness, ready to be explored.
A disembodied voice came onto the intercom. The gates will be opened in fifteen minutes. The gates will be opened in fifteen minutes.
"Did you hear that, Archie? They're opening the gates soon." Hazel said to her pokemon. She smiled as she remembered when she first got her Growlithe. She was seven years old (Hazel is eleven now.).
Hazel remembered how her face had lit up when her mother carried the pokemon to her. He was in a little box, with holes poked into the top. It was Kid's Day, and Archie was her present. He was so small then, her Growlithe had grown bigger in the past four years. Archie had helped her get five badges, one from each of the other five regions, though she had never been to Unova. She had also had his help in beating the Orange League.
Ten minutes. The intercom voice said. Out of the corner of her eye she saw a boy with frizzy brown hair chasing an Eevee.
"Come back here, Sammy!" the boy said, still running after the pokemon. His hair stood up, making him look like a hedgehog. He looked about the same age as Hazel, and had green eyes.
"We should probably go help him out. Archie, use your Agility to catch up to the Eevee, then try to slow it down somehow." Hazel said. Archie became a blur, dashing between the people standing around. The Growlithe ran in front of the small Eevee, making it slow down to a halt.
The frizzy-haired boy snatched up the Eevee and thanked Archie. "Hey, thanks. I wonder where your trainer is." He looked around the platform, to the metal railing and back. When he turned back, Hazel was standing right behind him, with Archie next to her.
"Whoa, didn't see you there. Thanks fro helping me catch Sammy. I'm Oliver. Oliver Frost." The boy said.
"Don't mention it. I'm Hazel, last name Savage." Hazel said. "This is Archie, my Growlithe."
"Sammy's my Eevee. And as you can see, he is kind of ADHD when there's something interesting happening." Oliver said. "You seem kind of nice, and nobody else stopped to help me catch Sammy. Wanna travel together?"
"We'll see." Hazel replied. "If we are, we should get going. The gates will be opening soon."
As if on cue, the voice came back on the speakers lining the walls. Five minutes left.
The duo walked towards the tall gate separating the train platform from the wilderness of the Bouken region. There were outposts scattered around the woods, to keep order. Each had their own Officer Jenny.
"Are you ready?" Mayor Benny hollered. He held a small device with a big red button on it. When he pressed the button, the gates would open.
"Yeah!" Hazel screamed. No one else did. People stared. "Uh... yeah, woo hoo."
"Push the button!" Oliver yelled. He didn't seem to care about the eyes that turned to look at him and Hazel.
"Fine" Mayor Benny said, suddenly sounding quite unenthusiastic. He pushed the button.
The mustachioed mayor (and most of the crowd) gaped in awe as the gateway slowly opened, revealing a narrow stairwell leading down to the clearing. It looked like there was only room for one person to go at a time.
Mayor Benny held his arms out, beckoning the crowds towards the stairs. "Welcome to the Bouken region."
