Prologue: Pallet Town Move!

In the Kanto region, we find ourselves in the modest home of a woman with porcelain skin, brown eyes, and purple hair. She was wearing a simple pair of blue jeans, and a black tank top. This is Misato Katsuragi, former Pokémon Coordinator and a mother through adoption.

Sitting on the couch next to her was the Pokémon that she had started out with. It was a navy blue Pokémon that stood at about "5'7, and looked like a Penguin. It has a wide, yellow beak with three pointed horns that form a trident-shaped crest and small, blue eyes. There is a blue marking resembling a crown over its eyes and a white, lacy marking running down its chest. A blue, fin-like projection forms a collar around its throat and runs down the length of its chest and belly. On its back are two raised, gold bumps and a second blue fin that forms its tail. It was wide, flipper-like wings rimmed with blue along the tips and three golden claws. Its yellow feet are webbed with three toes each.

This is a Pokémon from the Sinnoh region known as Empoleon, Misato's starter Pokémon. But she nicknamed him Pen-Pen when he was just a Piplup. But Misato's mind was not on the show she was currently watching. No, she was thinking about the child that she had been raising for six years now.

"It's going to get pretty lonely around here when Shinji finally leaves on his journey four years from now." Misato said to herself.

"Poleon, Empoleon." Pen-Pen squawked in agreement.

The little boy had wormed his way into the penguin Pokémon's heart with his cheerful demeanor and happy go lucky attitude. It was hard for Pen-Pen not to like the little guy. He would be the first to admit that he was going to miss the little guy when he leaves.

But that also brought Misato to another question she had in mind. Just what kind of Pokémon was Shinji going to start off with? She already knew that most trainers from Pallet Town start off with a Charmander, or a Squirtle, or a Bulbasaur. But what if Professor Oak doesn't have any of the traditional starters for Shinji and his friends? After all, there were going to be a total of six beginner trainers this time, so what would professor Oak do about that?

It was unknown to Misato that the good professor did have a plan for this particular occasion. What that plan was, I do not know. But I do know that it was going to be something that would truly change the lives of these three children and their future Pokémon.

Meanwhile at the local Pokémon Ranch, we find three children running around the garden and playing with some of the captured Pokémon that were let out for some exercise. All three children looked to be about six years old, but each was different from the other.

The first child was Shinji Ikari-Katsuragi. He had pale skin, short brown hair, and a set of pure brown eyes that held innocence that only a child could have. He was wearing a red T-shirt, a pair of black shorts, and a pair of black and red sneakers. Currently, he was riding on the back of a bull Pokémon with three tails known as Tauros. The normally stubborn and aggressive Pokémon was being surprisingly gentle with the small child.

Sleeping curled up next to a fox Pokémon with six tails known as Vulpix was a little girl with reddish orange hair done up in twin pigtails on her head. She had a bit more of a tan color to her skin, and if her eyes were open you'd see that they were more of a blue color. She was wearing a yellow dress, black shorts, and a pair of yellow sandals. This is Asuka Langley Soryu, one of Shinji's two best friends.

The final child was a little girl that was laughing as she played chase with a purple rat Pokémon called Rattata. She had silvery blue hair, red eyes, and the same skin color as Shinji. She was wearing a white tank top with the picture of a Pokéball on the front, a pair of black shorts, and a pair of black flip flops. This is Rei Ayanami, the third member of our trio.

"I'm gonna catch you, Rattata!" Rei said with a laugh.

"Yee-haw! Ride 'em, Tauros!" Shinji cried in joy.

Asuka just quietly snored next to the sleeping Vulpix. It was incredible how these two were able to sleep through all of the noise that was going on. But it was probably for the best. She didn't get a lot of sleep the night before. But that was mainly due to her helping her father with the Rapidash on his farm.

But what these children didn't know was that there were big plans in store for the three of them. Plans that would put their friendship to the test, and help them grow stronger than they could ever imagine!

Well, that's done! Now, I'm gonna set up a poll for what Pokémon Shinji and the others should start out with, but I'll need a backstory for how they came to be in Oak's possession. So vote, vote, and vote some more! That is all!
