Note: BEFORE you read: I am trying to follow the same storyline as the video game. If you disapprove of fanfics that branch off from the main storyline a bit late in the series, then STOP READING NOW. It's exactly what I'm doing.
2nd note: For those of you who speak Japanese, the little note at the end seems a bit silly. For those of you who don't, it's there. Don't complain, you people who speak Japanese. You are, suprisingly, few and far between. -rolls eyes-. My story is, at least at the beginning,meant for very young readers, even though it is on a site where there probably aren't any. Note: the kiddie theme. I have heard a comment that everybody knows that green version is exclusive to Japan, yet I don't know anybody at my school who knew that little fact before I told them. Again, if it is there, and can be omitted, and seems a bit silly, maybe there's someone out there who might need it (like those sadly uninformed people who normally read my fanfics). If I get the Japanese wrong, please don't tell me I got it wrong. Tell me how to use it correctly instead. It's called constructive criticism. Anyone with blatant, unconstructive criticism will be listed on my list as "evil from my biased point of view". Just so you know.
Disclaimer: I don't own the plot or the setting, just the characters Yamaha Sakura and Oak Hikaru. The only reason I'm putting this disclaimer up is that SOME PEOPLE don't recognise a subtle disclaimer when they see one.
Summary: Yamaha Sakura is a young girl whose greatest ambition is to be a pokèmon master. However, there are many obstacles on the road ahead.
Yamaha Sakura woke with a start. She looked at her clock to check the time. It was 5:30. That would explain the darkness that obscured the sky, and the mist that shrouded her vision to some degree. There may have been no alarm on her nightstand, but she was awake anyway, so it really didn't matter. This was the day she had been waiting for for three years.
Sakura got dressed noiselessly and walked downstairs, hoping not to wake her mother. This proved impossible, however, because she was already awake, and almost as excited as Sakura.
"Oak-sama is waiting for you, Sakura-chan," she called. "You'd better hurry up."
"Hai, okaasan."
Sakura opened the door and jogged around for a bit, before coming to Oak-sama's lab. She ventured inside.
"Oak-sama?" she called.
"Gramps isn't here, Yamaha," called an all-too familiar voice. It was the voice of Oak Hikaru, her least favorite person in the world. Not only was he impolite, but he also had to challenge her at everything she did, not to mention anything someone did for her. "I think he ditched you. Ha!"
However, no matter how insulting Hikaru was, Sakura always kept her cool. Maybe he went to the next town, she thought. It may be dangerous, but he has those rare pokèmon and his skill as a trainer to protect him. I'll go look for him.
She jogged north until she reached the tall grass, which harbored the multitudes of pokèmon. She didn't know what was in store for her, but she knew it was something important. She took her first big step into the grass.
A/N:
This fanfiction is not based on the Pokèmon TV show or the red or blue versions, but the Japan-exclusive Green Version (which is like blue version in the US. In Japan, Blue Version is a special edition). I am narrating as if it were a story, but I am trying to keep most of the scripts (I emphasize mostly) faithful to the exact lines in the red and blue versions. If I mess up on a particular line, please alert me, because my blue version broke and I haven't had time to go out and get a new one since, so I don't know exactly what the characters say, and am relying wholly on my memory. My red version currently has a lost status. Of course, if I made every single line in the whole fanfic exactly the same as in the video game, my fanfic would lose its creativity, becoming yet another clone in the following that is (or at least was) pokèmon.
Yamaha Sakura takes the place of the main character, Green, in Pokèmon Green Version.
Oak Hikaru takes the place of the main character's rival, Red, in Pokèmon Green Version.
Professor Oak didn't sound very Japanese, so I changed his name to Oak-Sama, which means "Lord Oak".
As for the suffixes (and Japanese words) that you need to know about:
sama (lord or lady, Oak-sama means "Lord Oak" I know he's not really a lord, but the people in Pallet town are weird.)
san (Mr. or Mrs.)
chan (affectionate suffix for a girl)
kun (affectionate suffix for a guy)
hai (yes, or "I agree with you")
iie (no, or "I disagree with you")
okaasan (mother)
bonzai! (YAY!)
These definitions are based on my Japanese book. If you disagree with one or more of them, please tell me. Again, don't tell me it's wrong. Tell me how to fix it.
Is my A/N longer than my fanfic? I'm afraid that might be so.
