Pokémon Ivory

Route 219 (Day)

"Aaron! Aaron!" I tried fighting back against the ropes before getting pulled back by these strange men. I felt tears flowing down my cheeks screaming for someone I didn't recognize when I heard his voice calling out my name in return. I was pulled away into the night and shoved onto a ship before hearing it set sail. I was scared.

I didn't know why though or why these people tied me up and threw me on a ship I couldn't recognize. But I knew that the stranger who kept calling my name was somewhere else and I wouldn't stop crying. Well that was until the ship began shaking and I looked out the window to gasp at the sight.

"Amelia!"

My eyes snapped open and I quickly sat up to find myself washed up on a beach. I pulled myself together to find that a boy with black hair and a red scarf was confused. As of right now, I think I should be more confused than he was because right now, I had no idea where I was. In the boy's hand was a suitcase and he quickly dropped it in the sand and ran towards me with a frightened look.

"Are you okay?" He quickly questioned when he dropped down on his knees and began helping me up to a sitting position. I shook my head to get my thoughts together and nodded before looking around the beach area. The boy breathed in relief and I just stared up at him.

"E-Excuse me…" I started while seeing him give me his attention. "Where am I?"

He raised a brow and gave me a quizzical look. "You're in Sandgem Town...well by Sandgem Town anyway; it's technically Route 219."

"…where?"

"I think you hit your head, do you remember your name?"

"A…Amelia…I think." I stuttered out and I felt a sharp pain stabbing me in the head.

"I think you hit your head really hard, might be amnesia." Then he helped me get up and looked around the sandy shore for something. "Let's see if you dropped anything around here to help you remember stuff." I nodded, not knowing what else to say and just looked around, not leaving my spot.

In short, I was completely horrified and raked my fingers through my tangled black hair. It was pretty long and well…kind of annoying. What was I thinking before the crash hit me hard? Actually…what did hit me anyway? The dream didn't go as far to tell me exactly what was outside the ship that made me so scared or even why I was crying.

Another stab pierced through my skull and I clutched my head. This was getting annoying.

"Hey Amelia," The boy ran up to me again and handed me a pokéball; was it mine? "Maybe you should try calling out your Pokemon? It might jog your memory."

I nodded. It sounded like a good idea, so I held the pokéball and tossed it into the air. "Come out! …whatever you are!" I felt the need to add that in and I watched the object open and released a bright white light on the ground. I watched with hesitation, wanting to know what this pokemon could be.

When the pokéball fell back to the sand, I watched the light fade away and saw a grassy pokemon in its place. "Bulba?"

"So you're from Kanto?" The boy questioned as he walked up to the Bulbasuar that ran up to me and gave a grin.

"…I guess?"

I knelt down and patted the Bulbasuar with my hand.

"Mind telling me anything, little guy?"

"I don't think your Bulbasuar can really tell you, but let's head on over to Professor Rowan's lab, he might be able to help you."

"Okay…"

There was no point in going anywhere else, I didn't even know what region I was in, or what even happened. All I knew was that I was a trainer and my name was Amelia and apparently I'm from the Kanto region. I walked over to pick up the fallen pokéball and then called back; apparently, my Bulbasuar then put away the spherical object in the pack of my drenched shorts. I was really soaked when I looked at my shirt and shorts and saw that my shoes were pretty messed up.

"C'mon Amelia!" The boy called out while he rushed on over to me with his suit case in hand. Then he gave me a curiously look and adjusted his hat. "By the way, my name's Diamond, but you can call me Dia if you want." So that's his name, I was going to call him stranger if he wasn't going to tell me who he was any time soon.

"Um…Dia…" I stammered while walking a little further behind him towards the town.

"Yeah Amelia?"

"What region are we in?"

"We're in the Sinnoh region." His tone was light had was probably filled with confusion.

Sinnoh? Kanto is pretty far from Sinnoh so how'd I end up here? …well at least I believe that Kanto was far from Sinnoh…honestly I should just stop thinking and follow Dia.

My name is Amelia, a trainer from Kanto with a Bulbasaur as my Pokémon; that's pretty much all I know, well only because of this Diamond kid.

But I still wanted to know what was up with that dream I had. What happened on that ship, why I was on that ship, and who was calling out to me? My head started hurting even more than those sharp pains that kept stabbing at my skull.

"Hopefully this Professor Rowan guy can help." I muttered, while clutching at the hem of my dirty shirt.
