Hello!
This is my own original Pokémon adventure with my own OCs and semi-original plot. I've added a few things that are not a part of the original games to make the story more entertaining and interesting.
This part is simply an introduction; the characters will be introduced next. Segments will be released within 1-2 weeks of each other.
The story starts off a little bit slow so I can introduce the characters and the plot, but I promise it gets much better. The story will begin to pick up around Chapter 5.
Sorry if I missed any errors in my proofreading.
I don't own Pokémon.
Enjoy!
Introduction
It is rather lonely, up here. Boring, too.
Time also grows thinner.
I have waited long enough. It is time to test these humans.
It happened in the year 2016. Scientists didn't know how to explain the phenomenon that had come from the sky. It could only be described as a ray of light that held unexplainable power. It was a pure white color, no saturation at all.
It descended onto the surface of the Earth before expanding like a tidal wave. It enveloped everything, large and small, living and nonliving. It filled in every crevice in the Earth until it could expand no more. Humans, plants, and animals were covered in light. Many were scared for their lives, though in reality, they had no reason to be. For a moment, everything was a clean white.
Then it dissipated. It was gone just as quickly as it had come. It didn't go back into the sky; some people had said that the Earth itself or the people living on it absorbed its substance. It hadn't been painful, and some people said they couldn't use any of their other four senses besides sight to describe what the light was. Of course, except for those who were attention leeches.
For the next few days, the event was all over the news in every nation. Scientists and amateurs alike drew theories on what it was and where it had come from. Nobody could say for certain what the light was, however.
But then, after just a few days, something would happen that would change the course of humankind.
Animals and plants all over the world began to transform. They still looked mostly the same, but many had changed a small amount in physical appearance and greatly in color. Some animals, like rats, grew to much larger sizes. Many also developed certain abilities. Lizards could breathe fire like a dragon, and turtles could shoot jets of water from their mouths at a remarkable pressure. Some grew wings and flew, despite being much too heavy for such a feat to be even possible.
There was no need to question what had caused this. Everyone knew that whatever had come from the sky had something to do with all of it. Many scientists soon gave up any chance of finding the origin of the white light, what they had given the name the Arceus, the Latin root for "secret" and the Greek root for "beginning." Instead, they decided to focus on the new species that had been created.
Some animals and all of humankind had not been affected by the Arceus. Those that were affected were called Mon, after what many individuals in Japan had started to call them. They had called the creatures "monsuta," which meant "monster." Those in other countries had shortened the word to simply Mon.
Scientists were fascinated by Mon. They found in their research that it was completely impossible for any Mon to be killed by forceful means, though they could still be hurt and injured. The only way for a Mon to die, the had found, was for it to live out its lifespan, which the Arceus had increased. The scientists also discovered certain chemicals that could heal Mon from any injury in an instant. The militaries around the world immediately relished the idea of an invincible army when they heard this, and people became worried about their security. If someone came to rob or kill them with a Mon, what could they do to fight back?
Before anything was decided, scientists from around the world realized they would have to work together in order to ensure the safety of Mon and the safety of those who would be threatened by the use of Mon. These scientists banded together to form the Counsel of Mon Professors. This organization had the intent of caring for and protecting all Mon and making sure that their power didn't end up in the wrong hands.
For many months, life went on. The CMP claimed all rights to Mon and created facilities around the world where they could study and protect them. The CMP discovered many more aspects of Mon, including a new growth pattern. Scientists observed how sometimes, when Mon fought with each other, that they would grow stronger and learn new abilities. Some, when they had grown a lot, changed form, a process the CMP called evolution. One scientist remarked that the spectacle was similar to something straight out of a video game, which caused the growth system of Mon to be called, "experience."
All of the CMP's findings were posted online on their main website. People commented all the time, and many developed unique ideas. One even posted an article toying with the idea of Mon being pitted against each other in friendly competitions among people who trained them. This idea received massive positivity, and soon the CMP found themselves being bombarded with requests to make this dream a reality.
The CMP was worried about the issues involving crime and war, but international tension was fairly low, and one scientist suggested providing Mon to the police so they could help prevent crime. This was also a grand opportunity to gather even more information. Soon, the entire CMP was in agreement. Mon would be distributed to the people of the world for them to train and care for. It would take a lot of work and a lot of legal battles, but they could make it happen. The final question that arose was, how will Mon have their ownership declared?
One scientist had a solution. She discovered a way to manipulate the molecules and cells of a Mon to a size that could fit in your pocket. She called his invention the Poke ball, from the words "pocket" and "ball." The Poke ball was a device that registered itself to any wild or unclaimed Mon. It could use the latest technology to shrink the cells of the Mon, fitting it snugly inside the device. The Poke ball had a fingerprint scanner on it that unlocked it, which was indicated by the ball itself enlarging. Only after would the ball be unlocked that the Mon inside it could be released. The only one opening the Poke ball would be the one registered to it. The CMP was thrilled with this advancement, so much so that they decided to classify Mon as "Pokémon" instead and change their name to the CPP.
After a little more than a year, the CPP managed to get approval for their idea from multiple governments around the world. The CPP opened up a site where people who wished to be "Pokémon trainers," could enter their names and addresses. The CPP would send one free Poke ball with a Pokémon inside it so trainers could get started. More Poke balls and supplies such as potions would be sold at convenience stores around the world.
Finally, in the fall of 2019, the CPP distributed its Pokémon around the world, and let out many into the wild for the trainers to catch.
