Unknown Location
A man and two kids (one male and one female) ran quickly inside an unoccupied home.
"Are you kids okay?" The man says. He was in his fourties and wore a polo shirt and jeans. He had a nametag with the named Leonard Carraway on it. The two kids wore casual clothing of Pokemon Trainers
"We're good dad" The boy says
"Good…" The man says
"Robert...what do we do?" The girl asks
"I don't know Diana. We're stuck in here for the time being" Robert says
"Shoot…" Diana says
"You know. I never told you kids the story of your great-grandfather, Nick" Leonard says
"No. You haven't" Robert says
"Alright then. Let me tell you the story of Nick...and his friend...Gatsby" Leonard sahs
New York, 1920
It was a nice and sunny day in New York
"We live in the World of Pokemon. Not all of them were used to fight. Some were used as companions, like Nick Carraway. He owned a partner Pikachu, like Ash Ketchum and many other present day trainers" Leonard narrated. Nick Carrway and his Pikachu were driving towards a home
"This is it, this is where my cousin lives" Nick says.
"Pika" Pikachu says happily
"There were two types of towns. West Egg and East Egg. West Egg was where the newly rich people lived. East Egg was where people with money passed down from their ancestors" Leonard narrates. Nick and Pikachu comes into the house. It was big enough to fit a family of thirty five and still have room for more
"Wow" Nick says
"Pikachu" Pikachu says surprised. A man and a Tyranitar came into the room. Nick recognized him
"Tom" Nick says. He shakes hands with Tom Buchannon, a rich football player out of Yale.
"Nick my boy. I see your Pikachu is hasn't become a Raichu yet. It's been that way for two years now" Tom says
"Tyranitar" Tyranitar says
"I can't seem to find the item needed to turn him into a Raichu" Nick says
"Pika" Pikachu says
"Anyways, Daisy is the room to the right" Tom says
"Thanks" Nick says. He and Pikachu walked over to the place.
"Pika?" Pikachu asks. Nick looked in the room and saw a Steelix
"A Steelix. Here? Looks like someone gave their Onix a Metal Coat...but I would never think Daisy would own a Pokemon like that" Nick says. He comes into the room and only sees the Steelix
"Steel" Steelix says to Pikachu
"Pika" Pikachu says back. Nick looked around and did not see anyone
"Daisy?" Nick called out. A hand came from the couch and pulled Nick into it. The hand belonged to Daisy Buchannon, wife of Tom.
"Nicky. You've came...is this your Pokemon?" Daisy asks. She grabbed Pikachu and began to hug him
"Pika" Pikachu says sounding like he's moaning
"And this is yours...a Steelix" Nick says
"That would be mine" Another woman says. She carried a Horsea with her. Daisy stopped what she was doing. She put down Pikachu
"Oh, this is my friend, Jordan Baker, and my Pokemon, Horsea" Daisy says
"Horsea" Horsea says
"Steelix is my Pokemon…I evolved him a week ago" Jordan says
"Oh...you're Jordan Baker, of Team Electristeel" Nick says
"Team Electristeel was a team full of trainers that specialized in Electric and Steel types. Jordan Baker caught a wild Onix and devoted herself to train him and to find a Metal Coat to evolve him into Steelix. Rumors had it that this Pokemon was the first to break the Level 50 limit at Level 55 causing him to know more than four moves." Leonard narrates
"We could use Nick, I have the item you need to evolve your Pikachu" Jordan says.
"That's okay, I like Pikachu the way he is" Nick says
"I see" Jordan says
"Jordan Baker also did one thing. She owned a farm of the Electabuzz family. It was difficult to get an Electivire in that time. No one knew how to evolve him" Leonard says
"Steelix" Steelix says to Pikachu
"Pika Pika" Pikachu says
"Seems Steelix likes your Pikachu as well." Jordan says
"Jordan engages in intense trainer battles. Her Steelix has won over two thousand battles taking dubs for Team Electristeel" Daisy says
"Oh, you're that Jordan Baker. One of the best trainers in the world" Nick says
"So Nick, Daisy tells me you live in West Egg" Jordan says
"Yes. I just moved there not too long ago" Nick says
"Do you know Gatsby?" Jordan asks. Daisy and her Horsea turned around to look at them
"Gatsby" Daisy says like she knows his name
"Yeah. I live next to him" Nick says
"Pika Pika...PIKA!" Pikachu shouts. Steelix and Horsea start to make noises that sound like giggling
"No" Nick says to Pikachu. Tom and his Tyranitar come into the room
"Looks like you have all caught up" Tom says.
"Nicky lives in West Egg, Tom. Across the bay" Daisy says. Tom looked at Nick
"West Egg? The land of those...bootleggers?" Tom asks. Nick looked at him
"I am not bootlegger sir" Nick says
"I'm sure you're not" Tom says.
"Ranitar" Tyranitar says to Tom like he is reassuring him
"Okay. I see. Well, dinner will be ready soon" Tom says. He leaves the room
"Tyranitar" Tyranitar says to Steelix, Pikachu, and Horsea
"Steelix" Steelix says
"Pikachu" Pikachu says
"Horsea" Horsea says. Tyranitar left the room. Nick was confused about the whole thing
"What was that about?" Nick asks
"Tom's Tyranitar wishes to speak with the other Pokemon here" Daisy says
"Tyranitar was one of the few Pokemon that did not trust his trainer. He has been abused by him, cursed by him, and any bad things any trainer could do" Leonard narrates
"Why?" Nick asks Daisy
"I don't know. It's the whole reason I'm teaching my Horsea to speak" Daisy says
"To speak?" Nick asks
"Daisy's Horsea was being taught to speak just like Team Rocket's Meowth. There are rumors floating around the Horsea is now a Kingdra that knows human speech" Leonard narrates
"Yes Nicky. It's the only way we can know what Pokemon are saying. Horsea can already say his own name and understand other Pokemon. Why not teach him our langauge?" Daisy says
"That's completely understandable" Nick says
"Horsea" Horsea says
"Although, I haven't seen too much progress" Jordan says
"Jordan, Horsea is not a fighter. It's slots are empty...and I've only started teaching him a month ago. It takes time" Daisy says
"Okay, whatever you say" Jordan says
That night
Nick, Jordan, Daisy, and Tom were having dinner that night
"So Nick, are you a trainer?" Tom asks
"No. I work in the city in the Bond Business" Nick says
"Does your Pikachu help you?" Tom asks
"He does. Most of my co-workers have electric or steel types" Nick says
"It would seem you have a lot of experience with these types. How did you meet your Pokemon?" Jordan asks
"During my time in The Great War. I found a Pokemon carrying a young and traumatized Pichu. I decided to take it in and keep it. It evolved into a Pikachu not much later" Nick says
"Nick served in World War I in the third division. The Germans used and abused Pokemon to try to win the war, but most of Pokemon rebeled. The one that Nick found was one of the many that were found during the time" Leonard narrates
"So you served in the Great War?" Tom asks
"Yep" Nick says
In another room
Tyranitar, Horsea, Pikachu, and Steelix listened to the conversation
"Daisy...DAISY!" Horsea says. These were his first recorded words other than his name
"Steel" Steelix says
"The Pokemon had a mind of their own. Tyranitar never liked his trainer like Pikachu did with Nick or Horsea did with Daisy. Tom Buchannon went down as the man that believed the only reason that God put the Pokemon on Earth was to serve them, and serve them only" Leonard says
Unknown Place, 2019
Diana and Robert looked at their father
"I remember my history teacher talking about Tom Buchannon. Not too many positive things about him" Diana says
"Mine too. No wonder his name sounded dirty" Robert says
"His name has been blackened by historians. I don't blame them at all. I believe Pokemon were meant to live alongside us. Sometimes I feel like our world deserves someone to bring peace to the wonderful world of Pokemon" Leonard says
"...I agree" Robert says
"Now back to the story…" Leonard says
Buchannon Mansion
Daisy looked out onto the bay with her Horsea. A wild Pidgey started to have a conversation with him
"Pidgey" Pidgey says
"Horsea" Horsea says. Nick and Pikachu came outside to see them
"Daisy…" Nick says concerned
"I have a daughter" Daisy says. Nick was confused on why she had said that
"That's...cool" Nick says
"But, I'm the only one putting in time into taking care of her" Daisy says
"Is this why, you came out here so suddenly" Nick says
"No. After dinner, Tom recieved a phone call and he wouldn't tell me who it was from. We had an argument, and...he brought up our daughter" Daisy says
"Me and Jordan were getting our Pokemon in the meantime" Nick says
"Yeah...I want my daughter to be like me, a fool. A girl can be only one thing in this world, a fool" Daisy says
"I see" Nick says
"Daisy" Horsea says. Daisy looked at her Pokemon
"Thank you Horsea, I needed some good news" Daisy says
"Tom and Daisy were always fighting. Tom was a shady man who hid a lot of secrets. In my opinion, Daisy should of never married him" Leonard narrates
"Pika…" Pikachu says. He started to yawn afterwards
"I guess that's my cue to go home" Nick says
"Alright Nicky" Daisy says
West Egg
A taxi took Nick and his Pikachu home. Pikachu was sound asleep.
"Hey" Nick says as he saw a man at the end of the dock. He was by himself staring across the bay, as if there was something over there. "Interesting"
"Nick knew very well who the man was. He was Jay Gatsby, a millionaire who has a mysterious background..." Leonard narrates
The next day
"...The next morning, Nick and Pikachu had the day off so Tom decided to give them a call" Leonard narrates. Nick's phone started to ring
"Hello" Nick says
"Hey Nick, I would like to invite you over for some lunch" Tom says
"Sure. Me and Pikachu have nothing better to do today" Nick says
"Alright. Meet me on the next train. I have someone I would like you to meet" Tom says
"Okay. See you then" Nick says. He hangs up
"Pika?" Pikachu says
"Looks like we got somewhere to be Pikachu. Come on" Nick says. He starts to get dressed
Train Station
Tom and Tyranitar waited for Nick and Pikachu. He saw them coming towards him
"Nick, glad to see you" Tom says. The two shook hands and boarded the train
On the Train
Nick and Tom were sitting on opposite sides of a booth. A Lickitung came towards the two
"Tyranitar" Tyranitar says
"Pika" Pikachu says. Lickitung sticks out his tongue and licks Tom. Nick tried not to laugh but it came out anyway
"Okay. That is not funny" Tom says. Tyranitar high-fived the Lickitung. "Tyranitar…"
"Come on Tom. It was just a joke" Nick says
"A disgusting joke. He could carry germs" Tom says
"Lickitung is not a poison type. You'll be okay" Nick says. Tom ignored him and realized where they were
"Nick. We gotta jump here" Tom says
"Jump?" Nick asks. Tom grabs him and the two jump off the train. Tyranitar grabbed Pikachu and they followed Tom's lead
"Tyranitar" Tyranitar says sounding annoyed by Tom's actions
"Pikachu" Pikachu says sounding annoyed as well.
"What…" Nick says. The place where they got off was covered in nothing but ashes
"The Valley of Ashes was a place between West Egg and East Egg. This is where the poor live and where most Ghost Type Pokemon thrived. Gastly, Haunter, Gengar, Misdreavus, Mismagius, Shuppet, Bannette, Duskull, Dusclops, and Dusknoir were found here the most. But the most important sight of this place was the eyes of TJ Eckleburg, a billboard in the Valley of Ashes that represented the eyes of God or to the Pokemon, the eyes of Arceus" Leonard says.
"Is this where the person you wanted me to meet lives?" Nick asks. The two walked over to a car shop where Duskulls would nest.
"Wilson" Tom says. A man and a Magnemite came out of the shop
"Magnemite" Magnemite says
"Pika" Pikachu says
"Ranitar" Tyranitar says
"Tom, you came..." Wilson says
"This man was George Wilson, he and his partner Magnemite own a car shop, that seems to be a hot spot for Duskull" Leonard narrates
"...do you have the car?" George asks
"No. Me and Nick here came by train" Tom says
"Well, when the hell am I supposed to get it?" George asks
"If you want the money, you will be patient" Tom says. George tilted his head down and shook it
"Fine fine" George says.
"Tom" A voice of a woman came out. She came down some stairs in a dress
"Myrtle" Tom says
"Myrtle Wilson is the wife of George, and one of the very few who did not have a Pokemon partner. Right now she is having an affair with Tom and Tom is having an affair with her. Both doing the same God-forbbiden sin in adultery" Leonard narrates
"George, fetch these guys some chairs" Myrtle says. George and Magnemite immediately went over to get some chairs
"Meet me on the next train" Tom whispers into Myrtle's ear
"Now?" Myrtle asks
"Yes" Tom says
Unknown Place, 2019
"Hold the phone. So Tom and Myrtle are both cheating on their spouses?" Robert asks
"Yes. They were. Sad truth" Leonard says
"Must suck for Daisy and George" Diana says
"Actually, they didn't know" Leonard says
"They didn't know?" Robert asks
"Nope. But Tom and Myrtle had no desire to divorce their current spouses and marry each other" Leonard says
"Uh...continue" Diana says
Tom's Apartment, 1920
"So Tom took Myrtle to his and her apartment. They bought a regular toy dog from a man who just wanted to get rid of them" Leonard narrates. Pikachu looked at the dog and started to play with it.
"Pika...PIKA!" Pikachu says. The dog started to bark at him. Myrtle, Tom, and Tyranitar stepped into the apartment
"Alright. Let's get this party started" Tom says. Two women and a man came into the apartment
"These people were Catherine, Myrtle's sister, and Mr and Mrs Mckee. They owned a Ralts, Kirlia, and Gardevoir" Leonard narrates.
"Tyranitar" Tyranitar says to Pikachu. He stopped playing with the dog and went over to him
"Pika?" Pikachu asks
"Ranitar...Tyranitar" Tyranitar says to Gardevoir
"Gardevoir" Gardevoir says. She uses an ability that affects her, Tyranitar, Ralts, Kirlia, and Pikachu.
"Thanks. We needed it" Tyranitar says
"SHE CAN DO THAT?" Pikachu asks
"Gardevoir has the ability to turn our langauge into human speech. It is a special ability that no other Pokemon has. Nick, Tom, and those bootleggers can hear us" Tyranitar says
"Probably too drunk to even notice" Gardevoir says
"Drunk?" Pikachu asks. He notices that Nick was kissing Catherine passionately. Tom, Myrtle, Mr and Mrs Mckee were laughing hard
"This happens all the time" Ralts says to Pikachu
"Don't sweat it. Your partner will get back to his usual state soon. Right Gardy?" Kirlia asks
"Of course" Gardevoir says
"I wish I could tell Daisy about all this. But all they hear is Tyranitar or Ranitar from me. Gardevoir cannot come over to East Egg and Daisy cannot come over here." Tyranitar says
"I see why. But if Tom seems to love Myrtle over Daisy. Then why not just divorce Daisy and marry Myrtle?" Pikachu asks
"Tom says Daisy is Catholic, but I know that is not true." Tyranitar says
"Selfish man. I wish I could allow you talk to Daisy, Tyranitar. But I belong to Catherine, and she would be dead to see Tom's wife anytime soon" Gardevoir says
"Hey Tyranitar, if there was another man that Daisy truly loved, would you do anything to distract Tom?" Pikachu asks
"Of course. Tom does not deserve Daisy, she deserves someone better." Tyranitar says
"DAISY DAISY DAISY DAISY DAISY!" Myrtle shouts out loud. She was in a heated argument with Tom. The former football player proceeds to slam Myrtle in the face. The Pokemon jumped up.
"I've seen him do that to her or Daisy many times. It's disgusting. If I could betray him, I would" Tyranitar says
"I see" Pikachu says
"In five minutes, my ability will wear off. Everyone will go back to hearing your names coming out of your mouth." Gardevoir says
"Alright. You and Nick best get going before things get real messy" Tyranitar says to Pikachu.
"Got it" Pikachu says. He looks at Nick who still was drunk
"Pikachu…show us that...down B" Nick says.
"On second thought...I'll wait...Nick looks pretty knocked out" Pikachu says. Tyranitar sighed
"Slap him" Ralts says
"No. That's stupid" Pikachu says. Catherine grabbed Pikachu and started to dance while holding him
"Oh…" Ralts says
"Poor guy" Kirlia says
"I remember that happening with me...with Mr Mckee" Tyranitar says
"Ew" Ralt says
"The night carried on. Nick and Pikachu eventually went home via train and taxi. Tom spent the night at the apartment with Myrtle and her family." Leonard narrates
Unknown Place
"So...where do we find that Gardevoir?" Robert asks
"No idea. No one knows where these Pokemon have ended up" Leonard says
"Yeah. We need a full understanding on what Pokemon say" Diana says
"Well, there is Team Rocket's Meowth. He can speak the human langauge" Leonard says
"So...when are we going to meet Gatsby?" Robert asks
"Have patience. He'll come soon" Leonard says
