Pokémon: Hunter Version
A Word of Warning
The story you're about to read is true. While the author of the story did not experience the events that transpired, a source known only to the author confirms its truth. It is a transcript of an audio recording. Fighting between the two speakers has been kept to a minimum in this transcript. It may be hard to believe that the two did the things they claim, however the author would like to state the trueness of the story. The final judgement, of course, is yours alone.

A/N: Hello, everyone. And welcome to my new story. While I can't bring my self to work on "Killua's World" (because I can't write Killua without Gon right now), I've got this because it involves both Killua and Gon. So, you may notice that this isn't a regular story and I'd just like to point some things out. If I use parentheses (-these-), then Gon is talking away from the recorder. If I use brackets [-these-] then Killua is talking away from the recorder. Yes, both Gon and Killua are narrating here. If I use either parentheses or brackets as doubles, then it's an action either Gon or Killua took that the recorder picked up. Because it's only audio, there are things that the recorder wouldn't pick up (i.e tapping on a shoulder and head movements) so those things aren't mentioned. Also, if you have any suggestions for a title, then let me know either via review or in the "Stories Galore" forum thread "Discussion: Fanfiction". One last thing to mention: the "humour" genre comes solely from the "discussions" Gon and Killua have away from the recorder. I'll try and get chapters out for this at a steady pace, so enjoy reading!

Prologue And Introductions
Hello everybody! [Gon, you don't have to wave. Nobody can see you.] (Eh? Really? Why not?) ['Why not?' We're recording this audio-only, remember?] (Oh, right. Ahem.) Hello everybody! My name is Gon Freecss and I'm a Pokémon Trainer! With me is my best friend, Killua Zoldyck! He's also a Pokémon Trainer and he's really good at it, too! [Cut it out Gon, you're embarrassing me!] (But it's true!) [Just get on with it.] We're going to tell you about our adventure. It's filled with danger and mystery. It even involves a criminal organization known as Team Rocket! And- [[grabs the recorder]] (Hey, Killua! Give it back!)
Yo, Killua here. (Killua~) Anyway, let me tell you what my old man told me about Pokémon and the world they live in. (Killua~ I wanted to talk to them!) [Would you shut up, Gon?] (Killua~ you're mean!) Anyway, Pokémon are creatures that have special powers. People use them for all kinds of different things. Some keep them for pets, others use them for everyday chores. But most people use them for battle! In battles, the people who use them are called "trainers". (That's us! Uh…. Right, Killua?) [Ugh, why are we friends again? Don't answer.] Trainers use battles to grow closer to their Pokémon and the more they battle, the closer they get.
Of course, there are some trainers who just want power. They only train their Pokémon so they get recognition and fame. (Isn't that what you want, Killua?) [Idiot!] [[hits Gon]] (Ow!) [That kind of life would be boring.] Anyway, there are other trainers who use their Pokémon to commit crimes. My old man said that's what Team Rocket does. They also steal Pokémon and use them for their crimes. ((steals the recorder back)) [Hey! What are you doing? Give that back!] (No way! It's my turn now!) [Fine. Have your stupid turn. I'm gonna go sit and read.]
(Yay!) Gon again, everyone! Anyway, where were we? (Killua~! Where were we?) [Idiot.] (Come on, Killua! Stop being so mean!) [Argh. You're so annoying.] (Where were we, Killua? I really don't know!) [I just told them about Pokémon, so you get to tell them about the world. Now leave me alone!] (Thank you~!) OK! So, about the world. Um… Well, it's big and there's lots of trees and- [Stop fooling around, Gon! We only have a limited amount of recordable space on there!] (Oh, right. Sorry.) Well, I wasn't kidding when I said that the world was big.
The world has many different things in it: forests, mountains, lakes and cities. Many different Pokémon live in these areas. They sometimes move around to find different areas. Though, most Pokémon tend to stay in one place. Especially the Pokémon that live in the cities. (Huh?) [Yoink!] (Hey! I thought you were gonna read!) [I couldn't concentrate with the constant annoying sound coming from this direction] (I didn't hear anything. All I heard was my voice.) [Mm-hm.] (What do you- Hey! That's not very nice, Killua!) [Oh, boo-hoo. Go cry in the corner, why don't you?] (Fine.) [Ow! That was my foot, you idiot!] (Oh, really? If you can tell, I guess I didn't step on it hard enough then!) [Ow! Just get outta here, would ya? Go do something productive like, count how many PokéBalls you have.]
[God!] Anyway, sorry about that. I just got sick of hearing Gon talk. So annoying. (I heard that! And I'm not annoying! You're the annoying…person…one!) [Oh, nice come back, Gon.] Anyway, I'm gonna tell you another thing I heard from my old man. It's about a guy named Red. There are some people who say he was this really awesome Pokémon trainer and he took down Team Rocket many years ago. Others say there wasn't anybody named Red and there wasn't any team Rocket. I thought it was only a fairy tale, too, at first. (I thought it was true.) [You believe everything you hear!] (No I don't!) [Oh yeah? Hey, Gon, you've got a Caterpie on your boot.] (Ah! Get it off! Get it off!)
[[laughs]] (That wasn't a very nice thing to say, Killua!) [Why? It proved my point.] (Why are you so mean to me?) [That doesn't matter right now.] There are other legends that say somebody named Blue took on Team Rocket as well. People who believe that legend say that he took down Team Rocket. But most people believe that Red and Blue teamed up to take down Team Rocket. Then they had to face each other at the Indigo Plateau, the League of Champions for Pokémon trainers.
Nobody knows if they were real or, if they were, where they are now. Nobody knows what they did after the Indigo Plateau. Some people say that Red wandered through the world and studied the way people battle, eventually inventing his own unique way based on the ways he's seen. They say that Red was the strongest trainer there was. (But now it's you! Right, Killua?) [Stop saying such embarrassing things!] (Eh? Why are you blushing?) [Just… shut up and let me finish, okay?]
People who followed Blue's tales say that after the Indigo Plateau, he trained really hard and became a Gym Leader. Gym Leaders are, like, the top-ranked trainers. You have to beat them in order to get badges. If you beat all of the Gym Leaders and get their badges, then you can go to the Indigo Plateau. (Hey, Killua!) [What?] ((grabs the recorder)) (Mine!) [Wha-Hey!]
Enough of Killua's stories. Now it's my turn to tell you our story. Now, the story actually begins on my tenth birthday, but I need to start five years before that, when I had just moved to Pallet Town with my Aunt, Mito. I had just finished unpacking when Aunt Mito told me to go meet the neighbors. I got my first real look at my new town when I stepped outside. There weren't that many buildings around and it was surrounded by a forest. As I walked around town, I noticed a path leading into the forest. It seemed to be the only way out of town.
The first house I went to was really big. It was the second biggest building in town! [What do you mean "second biggest"?] The biggest was the lab down the road. [That's BS, Gon! That puny lab wasn't bigger than-] (Killua, I'm trying to tell a story! Could you keep quiet, please?) Anyway, when I knocked on the door, a boy I figured was about my age answered. I had a feeling we would become good friends. I introduced myself and he slammed the door in my face! [Ha! Yeah, that was priceless.] He opened the door shortly after and introduced himself. I asked him if he wanted to play and he agreed. [More like "forced".] (But we had fun, didn't we?) [I guess so. Now, hurry up and start the actual story. We don't have a whole lot of time.] (OK.)
