Pokemon World: A Crapsack, Horrible Place
In this world, Pokemon is everything.
Pokemon and Human cannot live without each other.
But lives are often at risk to form this peace and never-ending relationships. Most times, lives are lost that only the strongest humans remain in the world at one time.
Many methods were made to capture and control these monsters in a bid for study. Some methods worked, some didn't. History of trial and error occurred as the only thing humans got right, were the names and types of the monsters. The more peaceful monsters are easily captured and bred to grow up friendly to humans. And all over the world, odd friendships begin as kindness and generosity goes a long way no matter what specie. At around this time, they were called 'magical creatures'. Humankind was at a loss about these creatures, and angering them leads to mobbing and a high death toll. So humans live in very closed-off communities while trying to find ways to grow bigger territories for prosperity and farms were protected fiercely for centuries and any village or town dreaded pokemon thieves, and they all hated Munchlax and Snorlax the most for centuries. Humans often risk their lives venturing out, and finding eggs of magical creatures for them to raise, and through risks, they learned that the Machoke(but not Machop and Machamp), Miltank, Audino, Growlithe, Chansey and the Timburr Lines, are friendly to humans. Jigglypuff while friendly, cute and charming, is regarded as a pest for a good reason. This began Pokemon Training but its never enough due to type advantage and disadvantage issues, as there's no way to keep everyone fenced in, and back then, the domesticated Pokemon...lived in barns!
Trial and error, and study caused many lost lives often in return for little knowledge.
Its only until fifty years ago that humans found out how to properly capture and train pokemon for side-by-side cooperation and good relationships. The Pokeball was invented in Johto by hollowing out Apricorns and fitting it with a capture mechanism. And then Silph. Co and Devon Corporation began producing efficient pokeballs that made captures easier after weakening a magical creature in battle. That, and the pokeball can be minimized for efficient carry. Because of the act of after capturing them and trainers putting the balls in their pockets, the creatures are now called Pokemon, a portmanteau of 'Pocket Monster'.
A Pokemon-based Culture and Craze began. Various programs were made in a bid to learn more about Pokemon, with scientists on the leading front lines of study. The thing is, the risks are great and Death Toll is incredibly high. That only the strong can survive pokemon-related jobs.
As a result, the government made a law due to population crisis. Humanity is on the verge of 'adult extinction', leaving only very young people unable to fend for themselves behind!
Children must be made as soon as possible. The age of consent is now 13. Boys and Girls can legally practice, be it public or private to prepare for the future. Teenagers and adults are often found sexually fondling each other anywhere to the point of doing quickie positions in the streets, be it sitting or standing even in broad daylight where little children can see. And upon hitting 13, girls cannot wear shorts or pants, only allowed to wear dresses and skirts. They also cannot wear panties on their fertile days. The only time they are allowed to, is their 'safe period' and when they menstruate.
Of course, some liked and enjoyed it, some did not. And should something 'bear fruit' from practice, the last boy a girl was with will marry the girl regardless if he's the father or not. Grandfathers, Fathers, Uncles, and older brothers can 'train' the girls of their family once they hit Consent Age but if pregnancy results, all the better. Marriages must be early for more children to be possible. Education as a result, must be revamped. Marriage for women must be fifteen or sixteen as the belief is the younger the more children as women are the childbearers. Anyone knows that.
As a result, women are NOT allowed to become Pokemon Trainers and travel as they are very valuable, and get the best of medical care with a 60% discount when it comes to internal-related injuries and diseases. And they must be as healthy as possible so a girl's diet is very, very restricted from childhood till marriage age. Research also began in factors of childbirth and childbirth risks, as well as fertility issues for both man and woman and men are checked too if they have a 'healthy count'. Childcare also gets 60% discounts, but this discount will only apply if a family has three or more children. But if a family reached over ten kids, their discount will be 80% until the very last child reached 12 years of age in order to help poorer families give all their kids an education and upbringing.
The only exception to the 'No Female Trainer' rule, is the Joy Family who raises Chanseys and Audinos to help them in their work as Pokemon Nurses. Their business doubles as an Egg Farm as well, selling eggs. A Chansey egg is worth 100 pokedollars but if its a Blissey Egg and Blisseys are rare, its 500 dollars per egg as Blissey eggs are twice as big with two yolks, and are extremely nutritious. And there's 30 spaces in an Egg Tray and a crate can fit 24 egg trays...and Chanseys lays several eggs every freaking day! One can imagine how much Chansey Farms earn everyday if they own a Chansey Farm.
And so...many families became large, if only out of motivation for those incentives. Families who could not have more than three are required to adopt off of orphanages into their families to increase childrens' survival and these orphans came from parents killed in the line of duty of capturing, studying and understanding Pokemon for the safety of humankind. Women who had more than three children, are pretty much, status symbols of their families and their in-laws as women who had more than one child, are seen as 'strong women' as at the time, its the survival of the fittest.
For women who can only have two or one however, are seen as weak women. Some of these women however, have financial issues who cannot afford to care for more than two even with the discount privilege so at least poor families have an excuse and everyone understands. Then there's women whose husbands are killed in the line of duty are also 'understood', but required to mother their son's children if they have a son. But if its the mother who died from childbirth complications, the surviving husband must re-marry. The ones who have no excuse, are women who are from well-off families and the only way to protect their reputation, is to adopt before anyone finds out.
But by the time Uzumaki Naru came to the Pokemon World, the 're-population trend' is dying down as of eight years before her arrival to the world wherein by then, each regions of Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova and Kalos have over ten million humans or more, with some families having strong histories of incestual births, particularly in important families. However, the childcare discounts still applied...and age of majority is now 13, and Age of Consent became 16 and girls are finally allowed to become Pokemon Trainers. 13 years old is when youngsters begin their Pokemon Journey and Training as in their world, its still the law of the strongest, and the strongest humans reach the Pokemon League. Trainers who failed to report to their Regional Professors in a month, can be assumed dead.
By the ninth year when she arrived thanks to her mother's jutsu, technology and pokemon studies have advanced greatly.
While the Martial Law involving re-population died down, and the laws of girls wearing restricted selection of clothing as well as the no underwear rule repealed, so everything's going back to normal but the trend of 'doing it with anybody whenever wherever' has yet to die. Boys can casually ask a girl to have sex with him and the girl will happily agree if you're good-looking, but if you're an ugly or overweight guy, they would lie, saying they have a period and quickly walk away. Of course, it goes both ways. Guys want to do a cute or beautiful girl.
For a blonde baby growing up in an orphanage in Celadon City, life is definitely normal. Mostly.
Except she was found hugging a pokemon egg never seen before in a park, and abandoning a child, as children are still valuable, is a heinous crime the police took DNA samples and are on the hunt. The egg was taken to the Regional Professor, Professor Oak for study.
They never found the original parents, nor had any idea why she was with a never-seen-before egg. The orphanage named her Claire.
The blonde baby was adopted by a middle-aged couple who tried and kept failing to have a third child as for them, adoption is a very last resort. They have two children, both sons and over twenty years old now, helping out with the farm. She became Claire Chaustrand.
Her family is from a well-to-do ranch family with a strong history of incestual relationships and births that breeds Charmanders to give away as Starter Pokemon for Kanto every year. And a Charmander Egg can sell for 8 million pokedollars as a Charmander, once it evolves into a Charizard is one of the best things a trainer can have in their line-ups as a powerhouse.
That, and if trainers fail to get a pokemon from a Professor, their families can always purchase one from Breeders, as long as they received a pokedex from the local regional professor which means they are licensed trainers. So yes, 8 million a pop indeed...and they have 20 pairs of Charizards. Well-trained Charizards, and 20 eggs per year. That means through breeding, they have an annual income of 160 million pokedollars.
However, while 8 million is the standard price, the price can possibly go higher, the more an egg is diagnosed to have Egg Moves inherited from the parents. However, the family also breeds and raises Miltanks for MooMoo Milk for sale, and various dairy products that came along with it. And the more powerful a Miltank, the more nutritious the milk is which means the higher grade, the more money it can be sold for. Pedigree Licensing is needed to certify their claims of course.
The Miltank Milk of their farm is currently Grade B.
The best rank is Premium Brand.
Grade B products would be Bottled Milk-700, Milk Gallon-2000, Evaporated Milk-620, Condensed Milk-650, Buttermilk-720, Butter-650, Cheese-800, Cream Cheese-850, Cream-750, Clotted Cream-770. Prices increase only by 50 pokedollars for medium-sized cans and containers of other products and an increase of 30 more by large products, except for Cheese and Butter. Cheese are always sold by cheese cuts of blocks, sandwich cuts, rounds and squares. Butter is always sold by blocks.
Currently, Grade C-below aren't touched by the populace, unless you're poor and can only afford low-quality Miltank Produce as you still want a healthy family somehow and little progress is better than none at all.
So their family is wealthy, but not as filthy rich as corporations and old money aristocrats.
And little did the family know, that they adopted a special girl.
Because of circumstances and different worldly rules, she was born inheriting the memories and feelings of her original parents as the sealed avatars within had memories merged with hers into a single memory with a complete point of view from two people and their thoughts, and knew who her true family is since she was in diapers, but she likes her adoptive family just as much. However, Naru, now named Claire by her new family, adopted to her new name since she can't exactly say she has memories of her original parents who gave her an original name, can she?
For her family, she 'learns quick' and a very precocious child. By the time she was five, Trainers, both boys and girls, can now travel at age ten.
She grew up a ninja as her original parents wished. However, she can only do taijutsu, acrobatic stunts and free-running. She cannot do nin or genjutsu to her dismay even if she has chakra. The most she can do, is Shape Manipulation and Projection, sticking to surfaces and floating on water and she inherited her mother's Chakra Chains power as well as a fast healing ability, and her ability to heal others. She trained in secret, unknown to her folks and she trained using her parents' war-time training as a guide for herself.
But when she began menstruating at ten, she began doing push-ups and breast development care for kunoichi and she changed her diet as no girl wants to grow up flat. She was also taught the Menstrual Cycle and when she is safe and when she is not. She also was made by her mother to use skincare and skin whitening products all over her body and she had to put up with sleeping with her hair in a shower cap, and a plastic sheet on her bed because she has to sleep naked with the creams on her.
Now that she's 10, a powerful chuunin-class fighter reaching her original parents' standards, and often gets herself into simulation training to train her fighting ability...and grew up to be an attractive young girl that when she grows older, she would be quite a beauty. She has a slightly toned, trim, slim and slender body befitting of a trained kunoichi...not that her adoptive family knows this because as far as they are concerned, she merely plays outside after school and after dinner but still obeys curfew.
'Alright dear,' said her mother as Claire is with her Charmander and Miltank whom she got since age 9 and she began training them in moves while she trains herself. 'You, Miltank and Charmander do well, alright?'
'Yes mother.' Claire piped up.
'Your father and I agreed on a million dollars monthly, so you can raise your pokemon to become powerful while still being easy on the pockets somehow. Goodness knows after weeks of camping with hostiles around, the comfort of a hotel bed is still the best and a nightly rent, if you're not fast enough for a Pokemon Center, depends on where you went, so be wise with money.' she reminded. 'Oh, another thing...did you study your Social Studies Lessons in school seriously?' she asked her daughter sternly.
'Yes mother. Is it about the Martial Re-Population Law?' Claire grimaced. While the law is shut down eight years before she was born, that era is, if you look underneath the underneath, a crapsack world for women. A world she wouldn't want to be in wherein girls are obliged to do any boy or man that moves, and obliged to pop out as many babies as possible. Women are essentially sex toys and baby poppers in that era, even girls as young as her! And girls are raised to think of it as fun, enjoyable and honorable even! If you fail to have three or more children, you're essentially a worthless woman in the eyes of society unless you have a damn good excuse to be 'forgiven'.
She shuddered horribly.
'Yes sweetheart...it may have been shut down eight years before we got you, but some people are still into it, particularly sexually-liberated cities.' said her mother warningly. 'Just avoid stumbling into situations whenever possible.'
Claire inwardly snorted.
Due to her years of training and her bloodline, she'll damn be the last one awake in her stamina.
So this means its also a war of protecting herself, or be eaten by numerous boys as they please. Heh.
'OK.' she smiled. 'I'll be careful.' besides, its not like they can chase her or anything! They can never chase her!
It seems civilization's change has yet to fully happen, and Claire was glad she wasn't born in such an era.
For her, its a Crapsack World she'd rather be a street urchin or DIE than go through that era. While she respects her foster parents, she didn't want her real parents to roll in their graves in her real world had she had the misfortune of being sent to that timeline.
'Get some sleep now, you have to be on time for your Seaplane tomorrow to Pallet Town to get your Pokedex.'
