Pokemon!
This is a fanfic about team Magma's origins and present day members. I started writing this back when Omega Ruby had just come out, but I never posted it haha...enjoy?
Our story begins about 70 years ago, when people had already begun to truly realize the importance of pokémon. This tale starts with a teenage boy, asleep in the woods.

I woke up suddenly to a crunching sound. Startled, I opened my eyes. A little ways infront of me, I saw a zigzagoon rolling in some leaves. I sighed in relief. Who knew what else could be in this forest? I glanced behind me and saw my faithful numel, Jewels. I had fallen asleep leaning against her. "Hey girl." I whispered as I petted her gently. "Thanks for staying with me again. I know the ground is kinda hard." She made a playful noise as I scratched near her belly. Jewels had been with me as long as I could remember. "I'll go see if I can find us some water." I stood up, brushing myself off. Hearing rushing water to my left, I headed off in that direction. After a short ways walk, I spotted a small but quick river. As I looked over the edge of the riverbank, I saw my own reflection. I was not very clean, having slept in the woods. My dark red hair had flecks of dirt in it, and my long coat was covered in bits of twigs and leaves.
"If Razz saw me like this, boy would she fuss..." I mumbled, thinking about my close friend. "She always insisted I stay clean..." I remembered how she used to tell me that even orphans should look there best. I missed her. Ever since I ran away, all I could think about was her sweet laugh and her beautiful, smiling face. She was the only person I missed leaving behind. She was the only reason I stayed at the orphanage as long as I did... Remembering that I was supposed to be getting water, I dipped an old bowl I had with me into the river. Water. Essential to our existence, yet too plentiful for our own good. People drowned in its un-merciful currents. Pokémon too. We needed more land. More places to grow and live. I was determined to make it happen. Somehow...
Future chapters will be longer, this was kind of an intro thing too. Sorry for that cheesy ending btw! Please leave feedback, I appreciate it!
