Welcome to the world of Pokémon!
Chapter one
This world of pokemon is pretty dangerous. That just makes it much more enjoyable to be a trainer these days. In this universe there is a cycle that happens every 1 million years where time is roared in reverse to the beginning of Pokémon's creation. Creating new islands and formations that are anomalies due to the all mighty Arsius. We eventually created shields to protect us from completely forgetting about each iterations existence. The way people catch these powerful legendary pokemon is to find riffs on each of the respective island leading to the true legendary pokemon. Which a group of trainers fight these true legendary pokemon. Upon defeating the pokemon you prove worthy to capture its offspring. The group of trainers are transported to a new location's to catch said legendary's offspring. They can still run from the trainers though so going is always a risk. There are groups who don't beat the legendary pokemon and are said to be left in the void forever. That is why trainers take these legendary pokemon in groups. Checkpoints check your badges in the respective island before you can even go into that leads to the legendary's area. Once the trainers past that check point they are on their own.
Gyms now have events where the represented gym leader and his team catch a huge group of the strongest Pokémon of the week. Letting trainers battle in groups or solo out in a park provided by the gym. These Pokémon are hand picked out in the wild around the routes near the towns. After the trainers battle the pokemon they are aloud to catch them with given premier-balls. At the end of gym raids there is a gumball machine that spits out gift boxes. In these gift boxes there is only ten items total. The color of box shows what kind of items might be inside.
Let us focus on a sorta different group of trainers. The adventure that they embark on will be a difficult one. Our adventure starts with a young boy out with his neighbor collecting data on pokemon.
"How much longer do we have to walk down this trail? We've been walking for hours now." The boy complained.
"Just shut up and keep up. You should be happy I didn't take my daughter instead. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity Aiden. You should be excited." The lava haired Professor said as she continued to lead the way through the dense forest path. Pokemon rustling through the trees and bushes alongside the path. She stood, five feet seven inches, tall sporting a white lab coat that covered her black denim shorts and sapphire shirt. Dark bags under her eyes and a gold locket that draped around her neck.
"I would be excited but its four am, we're on a route that isn't on the map, and I'm hungry. You didn't take Alyssa because she's with her father this weekend blame him not me." The young boy looked around barely seeing any pokemon on this route. The trees begging to blend in with the night sky the pokemon that could be seen actively avoided the path the two humans walked. That not helping the young boy feel any better about the situation he found himself in. He stood, five foot four inches, dawning a grey hoodie and jeans to match.
Finally arriving at a wall of vines blocking the path in front of them. The young boy sighed loudly.
"Great a dead end, is this what we're here for Professor Lyrio?"
The Professor dug into the large hiking bag that was strapped to her back. After a few minutes of digging she pulled out a rainbow colored flute and along with a voice recorder. She moved some of the vines to see a strange marking on the stonewall that blocked the path. The young boy looked at the marking with intrigue as The Professor continued looking for something around the marking. The mark in the shape of a slashes through dragon shaped pokemon
"Professor, what is this mark? This isn't the edge of the dome. Why is there a large wall blocking us?" The young boy reached his hand up to the marking. Gently touching the symbol caused it glow a purple hue.
"Don't you ever stop asking quest-" The Professor stopped, seeing the purple hue get brighter before fading away. She watched closely in awe. "This should be an access point to another anomaly. I found this a few weeks ago. We need to find a way to open this rift, look for clues."
Mystified by wonder Aiden started looking around the wall of vines. His search leading him to look at the nearby pokemon around. Catching a glimpse of a Absol and it seemed to be watching the two. Locking eyes with Aiden as if this moment was fated to be. Something pulling Aiden to extend his hand out for the pokemon. Giving a smile the Absol ran into the brush disappearing from Aiden's view. In hindsight it wasn't the smartest idea knowing the Pokedex entry on Absols. The ground began shaking violently as the two humans lost their balance falling to the ground.
"What on earth is going on?! Is this an earthquake?! We need to get back to town now!" The Professor exclaimed as she quickly got on her feet and grabbed Aiden by the arm. Lifting him to his feet the ground continuing to shake the pokemon that frantically passed through the brush were gone now. The two human running back the way they had came as the ground cracking behind them.
"You didn't bring any pokemon?! You call yourself a research professor I'm really surprised you didn't bring Snuggles." Aiden questioned as they ran through the brush as fast as they could.
The Professor sighed, a bit annoyed at how right this kid was, pulling out a red flute. Blowing into it with all her might as they ran into a small clearing. Stopping in their tracks the ground below starting to split cutting off their path. The Professor quickly threw her bag to the other side before as the gap grew larger. Aiden got ready to jump across the gap with the professor. Taking a deep breath the two got a running start before leaping across the gap. Yelling at the top of their lungs they crossed the gap barely making it the other side. Sliding along the grass they heard a familiar roar in the sky above them. A black charizard was flying in the sky searching for her human companion.
"Snuggles, right on time!" The Professor yelled standing to her feet and waving Snuggles over to them. Snuggles landed and motioned for the humans to climb on her back. Following her lead without hesitation they flew away from the area. Heading back to her lab for shelter. After a couple of minutes of flying the earthquake had suddenly stopped. Landing in the town Carliton by the laboratory that was shaped like a volcano with an observation deck built in.
"Now's good as time as any. Hope your ready to go on an adventure buckaroo." The Professor said as they climbed down from Snuggles back. Giving a soft peck on Snuggles forehead she nuzzled her companion's neck before flying back into a nest near the top of the observatory.
"Don't ever call me that again."
"Whatever, Alyssa will be home tomorrow so you better get some rest. I've got a surprise for you both waiting at around three in the afternoon in my lab."
"I'm so excited..." Aiden said sarcastically rolling his eyes and heading in the direction of his house. His hands were still shaking so he stuffed them in his pant pockets.
"Be there on time, got it!" The Professor exclaimed as the raven haired boy walked away waving in response.
Walking down the path past a crimson wood lodge hidden among-st the neighboring house. Light on the porch shining on a beautiful silver haired young girl reading to her alolan vulpix that sat comfortably in her lap. Stealing the dark haired boy's attention. Aiden's legs instinctively began walking in her direction. His mind took a second to put his body back on the right track. The slight hesitation slowed his pace as he tried to look away. Right before looking away the girl peered up from her book. In that split moment their eyes met for the first time and the boy's heart skipped a beat. The Silver haired girl gave a soft smile looking at the Raven haired boy. Getting a sheepish wave from the boy. Her vulpix turned its attention to the boy as her master waved back to the boy.
The young boy continued down the empty neighborhood streets, such a quiet night. As if there wasn't an earthquake that happened earlier. Strange things happen in the world of Pokémon. Arriving at his home at the far corner of the neighborhood the boy was greeted by another absol. Although, this one wasn't going to bring an earthquake, this was his mom's absol. Using teleport right before he could pet it's head. The young boy stood there a second.
"I hate it when Lady does that." The boy cursed under his breath walking up to the door pulling out his key. Seconds later the door flew open and Aiden's mother was now in the doorway.
"AIDEN, Where have you been damn there all night?!" The worried mother questioned grabbing her son forcefully by the arm and pulling him inside the house. The woman's hair matching the young boy's as she towered over him.
"I was helping our neighbor, professor Lyrio with some research. Didn't think it would take that long. Also didn't think there'd be an earthquake today either."
Her attitude completely changed once she heard her son say earthquake. She embraced her son before letting him go and walking away without a word. Aiden stood there confused for a few seconds before snapping out of it. Watching his mother go to the open door next to the stairs. Lady peeking from behind the couch and rolling her eyes at the young boy.
"Love you too mom…." Aiden said running right past his mom up the stairs.
Waiting on the window seal of the sunlit room was a young girl with scarlet hair. She wore a grey denim jacket with a team Skull insignia on her back and black shorts. Turning to greet the surprised young boy with a devilish grin and gold GS poke-ball resting in her hand.
