Introduction

The Pokemon world is a wonderful place where people and creatures called Pokemon, co-exist with each other. This story takes place in that world; a world based off both a show and a video game.

The story takes place several years after Ash's journey, the main protagonist of the show. It follows the quest of another young trainer, Ken, also from Palette Town, and his adventures in the Kanto Region. Ken and his friends will journey all throughout Kanto as Ken tries to win eight Gym badges and compete in the Indigo League. But, not everything is right in Kanto. There will be many challenges and obstacles Ken and his friends must face along the way.

Kanto Region Pokemon:

There are many different kinds of Pokemon found in the Kanto region, similar to those found in the region in the games and TV show. Like the show (first season only), the original 151 Pokemon can be found in Kanto, unlike the show, more than that can be found. There are 185 Kanto Pokemon now, all 151 originals and any evolutions that exist in the other generations. Only one kind of Pokemon, with no "roots" in Kanto, is mentioned in the story and said to be found in Kanto.

Thugs/Gangsters:

Many things have changed in Kanto, one that hasn't is the presence of Biker gangs. Kanto is still run amuck with bikers, more actually than before. They may be some of the antagonists in the story, although not the main ones. There are four main groups of Bikers that could be mentioned because, long ago, in Kanto, all bikers belonged to the same gang, until their numbers expanded and they broke up, fighting over roads and turf. Now there are four main groups of bikers, the Northern Mountain Ridge Bikers, the Western Plains Bikers, the Southern Seashore Bikers, and the Eastern Winds Bikers. The four biker gangs are at contestant "war" with each other over taking control of the center part of Kanto.

Team Rocket, the large corporation and group of gangsters once found all over Kanto, are no longer around. Rumor has it that their whole corporation fell to the ground on their quest to take over other regions of the world. However, another rumor also says that there is a new group of evil thugs in Kanto, secretly plotting to take it over.

Geography/Buildings:

For the most part, the landscape and geography in the story is based off the game. The story takes place specifically in Kanto, but references to other regions, and even other Pokemon in different regions, isn't excluded. However, while the towns in the game will be the same as the ones in the story (for the most part), it doesn't mean that they are the only ones. In fact, there are several new towns found in the story in the story.

A new corporation, expanding greatly all over Kanto, is the Meta Power Plant Company. The company has managed to renew several buildings and towns in Kanto, along with successfully building new ones. Some buildings renewed would include: the Power Plant, the Pokemon Mansion, and Silph Co.

Some buildings also no longer exist in the story, while new ones, and new sites, have replaced them.

Pokemon Gyms:

It is planned for the main protagonist in the story, Ken, to challenge the same Gyms found in the game version of Kanto. Many of the same Gym Leaders will run their Gyms, but there are new ones, based on the show and thought up by the author. Rules on Gyms battles have also changed slightly. The Pokemon that the Gym Leaders use are based off both the show and the games. Some may have completely different Pokemon, but they will follow the Gyms "specialization type" requirements (in other words they will make sense).

Other, and more detailed, explanations should be revealed along the way. That's the idea at least. This story is meant to entertained fans of the show or game, with a neat story thought up by another fan with too much time on his hands. It is planned for the complete story to be written, however there are no guarantees. It is hoped that many fans will find the story enjoyable.
