This story takes place many years in the future in the Sylar region.

Chapter 1

Allen Park:

As Jack walked down the dirt path to his school, feelings of anxiety and excitement filled him at the thought of starting his journey. He was a 17 year old boy born and raised in the town Allen Park. He was medium height with dark brown hair. He wore plaid shorts and a dark blue shirt, with his light backpack hanging downside his back. His belt held 6 pokéballs, each empty and waiting to be filled.

He was headed towards the Allen Park Pokémon Institute, or APPI, as he saw his three friends walking up to him. There was Chris, the funny and naïve friend; Adam the smart, common sense-filled one who was always complaining; and there was Taylor, easily the most cocky one out of the whole school and also the most disliked. Chris was also medium height and had short curly hair. He wore athletic clothes and tennis shoes. Adam was the tallest of the bunch with bright red hair and was often looked at as a lanky and awkward guy. Taylor was tall and thin due to his track training techniques and had closely shaved blonde hair. He wore nice clothes that his mother bought him as they were looked at as rich and snobby. Jack has known Taylor the longest and has put up with him for most of high school. He was his "friend" but also kind of despised him because of his over-confidence.

"Hey Jack!" said the group in unison, "that was sort of gay," replied Chris as the group laughed. "Are you all ready for the final exam today?" questioned Adam. "Oh yeah, I know I am! I am going to ace that test. And I hope I get an awesome pokémon that's super fast so I can run with him," replied Taylor with his usual loud voice. The rest of the guys looked at each other with an expression like: "yeah right."

Once they reached the school, they noticed a group of guys huddled around the most popular girl Eliza. They were all thinking to themselves how hot she was, but incidentally each of the four friends liked a different girl. Taylor was seeing a girl from a rival school that was on the opposite side of the large town. Chris was awe-struck over Morgan, although he would never make a move due to his shyness. Adam liked Kristen even though she was seeing a different guy. And Jack liked his ex-girlfriend Nadine. He dated her briefly years ago, but they were too young for it to be a real relationship.

They all went to their lockers to obtain the necessary materials for the test and then met up to walk to class. They were all nervous, even Taylor was secretly nervous. As they entered the classroom, their teacher Mrs. Palms was introducing the students to Professor Beech. They were all asking him questions about the final test that was needed to pass in order to start out their pokémon journeys. After five minutes of ushering the students to their seats, Professor Beech finally proceeded in telling them of the requirements needed to pass the test.

He said "I know you all are excited and ready to get started but first I need to tell you about the test. You will be required to go out individually in our training zone out back and find and catch a pokémon. You will be given 20 training balls and bate to successfully catch one. You will only have fifteen minutes to do this. That pokémon will not be yours, but based on the rarity and difficulty of catching that pokémon, I will give you a pokémon friend that will accompany you on your journey tomorrow. There will also be a written section that will assess your knowledge on the pokémon world and your survival skills that will be necessary as you trek your way through the Sylar, Kanto, Johto, Sinnoh, and Hoenn regions. Without further ado, let us begin. First up is Cassandra."

As Cassandra walked up slowly to the front, Jack said to her "good luck Sandy." She gave a nervous smile towards his way and she walked out of the door. After her fifteen minutes were up, she returned with a lvl. 10 Furret in her arms and a confident smile opposed to the nervous one she began with. She handed over the ferret pokémon to the Professor and he gave it to a volunteer Nurse Joy to be healed. He said, "Well done Cassandra, as I expected." She replied with a thank you and went into the next room to take the written portion of the test. "Next up is Jack." As he walked towards the door, most people were telling him good luck as Chris was giving him his usual smirk. He walked out back and began to run towards the woods. He saw many Rattatas running by but he was waiting for a more difficult pokémon to catch. He decided it was a good idea to begin shaking a tree but the only pokémon that fell out of them were Metapods and Kakunas. As time was winding down, Jack began to worry and nearly gave up. He was so angry at himself that he kicked a tree, almost breaking his toe. All of the sudden an Aipom jumped down and began eating the bate that dropped out of his pack as a result of his fit. Jack decided this was his chance, so he took out a training ball and tossed it towards the long tail pokémon. The Aipom was engulfed in a red light and trapped inside the small ball. It rocked lightly back and forth as Jack waited with anticipation, until the center light on the ball blinked indicating that it was caught. The bell rang simultaneously to show that his time was up. He ran back to the building and took his Aipom out of the ball to show off to the class.

As he walked in the door, the students were impressed and so was Professor Beech. Jack handed over the pokémon and modestly headed to the next room to take his written test not looking back at the rest of the class. After hours of students taking their outdoor portion of the test, the final student, Corey, was finishing up the written section. As the paper was turned in, the students roared with excitement, some including Jack were sleeping.

Professor Beech had already finished analyzing the rarity and difficulty of the caught pokémon and matching them up with the pokémon that would be received by the students. This was the moment that all the students were waiting for. Two assistants entered with cartons of pokéballs that had names taped on them. After the students settled down, Professor Beech began to read off the names to go up and receive the pokéballs.

"Cassandra, Jack, Adam, Morgan, Eliza, Jordan, Chris, Taylor, Nadine, etc.…. and finally Corey. Before you find out what pokémon is attained inside the ball, you must wait until after school to…" Ding! The final bell of the day cut him off and the children ran out to the front of the school to showcase their new pokémon. They all wanted to show each other so they presented them in an orderly fashion.

First Sandy threw out her pokéball to the center of the formed circle and as the red light dimmed, a Chikorita was spotted. Sandy ran to it and picked it up to give it a great big hug. Next up was Adam; he tossed the pokéball only to find out he had received a Sandshrew. To sum up the entire class' pokémon, Morgan got an Eevee, Eliza got a Vulpix, Jordan got a Jigglypuff, Chris got a Meowth, Nadine got a Piplup, Corey got a Dunsparce (as a result of not catching a pokémon in the training zone and barely passing his written section), and Taylor got a Ponyta. Taylor was especially excited because he had gotten a fast pokémon. He quickly made this known to the whole class. All the students were holding their pokémon and sitting with them waiting for Jack to show his. "C'mon Jack, let's see yours!" said Nadine. Jack blushed and took out his pokéball and threw it high up in the air. It landed in the center of the circle and the pokémon that he had gotten was a…
