Prologue: The world
Hm…where should I begin telling you about the world I live in? Perhaps I should begin with the basics.
My world is much like yours except for a few main differences. The main one would be that instead of animals we have Pokemon, which are a lot like animals although they are much stronger and in our world people use them for battling.
I know that in your world there is a game and a TV show about Pokemon, that show has a few things right, but a lot of things wrong.
What your people got right was the four main continents, Sinoh, Johto, Kanto, and Hoen. You also got right about the badges and the pokemon league. That's about all you got right.
Now here's what you got wrong. Most importantly ten year olds do not get Pokemon. No one would be foolish enough to give a child a dangerous Pokemon. In the real world of Pokemon you are not allowed to get a Pokemon until the age of fifteen, and you don't even get to start your journey until after you graduate, but I'll save more about that for later.
Also we don't have eight gyms we have about a hundred random ones strewn all about the land. Also we don't always have the same boring three types of starters; we get to choose between five random first form Pokemon. And on the topics of gyms you can complete them in any order and you only need to beat ten to battle the Pokemon League.
Now to the reason that your world knows about ours. First of all it is because our worlds are both on Earth. However Pokemon only appear on our part of the world that is made up of the four main continents and other smaller continents. Unfortunately we are not able to bring Pokemon from our part of the world to yours, no one is quite sure why. The people of your world were jealous of ours and began trying to smuggle pokemon over, resulting in the death of all of the Pokemon that were brought over. Our world realized that this would never stop and that our only hope was to block the contact between our two worlds, and that is why we created Mewtwo. Mewtwo had the ability to erase people's memory of Pokemon and make it seem that our world did not actually exist. It is impossible for anyone outside of our land during the creation of Mewtwo to enter or even to see it, even from space.
However about ten years a problem occurred. It only happened for about a second Mewtwo's shield went down. And it just so happened that a human on a single person boat sailed right into where our land appeared. We were however quickly able to expel the man from our land. However we could not eliminate his memories of the land.
The next day the man woke up at home and writ the expierience off as a dream. And thus he brought Pokemon to your world.
Now to the main point of the story, the Pokemon academy. Every child upon graduating normal school (Science, math, English, all that stuff) at fifteen instantly enter the Pokemon academy. In the academy you are given your first Pokemon and are taught the Pokemon basics. That is where our story begins, with my first day at the Pokemon academy.
