Chapter 1: Ignition

Hello readers, this is my first fanfic (I'm not counting those I deleted), and it's been a while I have written them. This time I would like to write something decent, without major grammar errors (My IELTS overall score is 7.0, although I only had 6.5 in Writing module…). Anyway, hope you readers enjoy this chapter.

Warning: I will introduce very deep concepts regarding politics and philosophical matters. Even I don't plan introduce anything "beyond the border", you must be prepared for some unusual conversations, which might make some younger readers lose interest. I do not plan to create any romantic situations in this fanfic.

Disclaimer: Chances that I own Pokémon is like a commoner getting a Ferrari FXX for free (which are clearly impossible). I DO NOT OWN POKÉMON.

Rated T- Strong language, intensive firearms use, violence and so on.

Route 1, Kanto

It was normal night in May. Most of the Pokémon were sleeping, as well as most of humans. Nothing special did happen for some time, though they weren't expecting something extraordinary that might change their lives. However, on that day, something extraordinary did happen.

An instant before the first ray of light, a loud crash woke up most of Pokémon, as well as the humans. Not far away from Pallet Town, a crater had appeared from nowhere. Pokémon began to gather around the smoking hole, only to find that nothing alien was there. But they didn't let the guard down; as they knew that something was wrong. Some began to search the surroundings, and others remained until some Pokémon or human with authority came.

Minutes passed, but, amazingly, nothing happened. Nothing happened at that place.

Three humans were standing next to a river bank, their faces marked with exhaustion. Two of them have long hair and feminine bodies; however, the third one was clearly a boy. They seemed to have around 15-17 years, and they were considerably tall. They were wearing casual clothes, however, they were a bit dirty and strangely, they were holding P-90 Sub-Machine Guns. The trio was frenetically alarmed with the surroundings, although there wasn't anything special that would pose a threat to them.

Conscious that nothing was dangerous around them, a black haired ponytail broke their silence:

"Sakuraba-kun, what do you think about this?"

"Hanazono-san, we have secured the surroundings; however, we can't prevent entities entering the delimited space, and, indeed, we are unfamiliar with the surroundings," the boy with the surname Sakuraba replied.

"And I can sense that we have a new set of physics laws," the other girl casually observed. "This is going to be troublesome."

"And we are somehow off the hook. I don't think we're at the supposed destination. How did we end up in an unknown world?" the boy asked.

"That's not the problem; we didn't have a destination to begin with," the black-haired girl replied. "Although I have to admit it's my fault that we messed up."

"So now you admit it, Hana-chan! I told you to leave me or Honoka-san to do it!" the boy voiced ironically. "That was such a waste. It's like grabbing a machine gun to snipe someone!"

"Okay, I'm a bit clumsy, but stop saying things like that! We are supposed to be a team," the girl nicknamed Hana replied.

"And best friends," the boy replied back.

"Okay, you two stop, we are in a troublesome situation right now," the last member reminded that they were in unknown territory. "And we are friends, aren't we?" She had blue eyes and loose long dark blue hair. Though she knew that their situation was not the best, she kept her cheerful attitude.

"We should change our clothes. I'm sure that we did bring what's strictly necessary," Hanazono said, her voice full of authority.

"Strictly necessary might not fit in this context… Miss Hanazono Minami, may I make clear that your sense of "essential" is not exactly what might be?" the boy ironically commented. "Is it essential when you bring lots of clothes and everyday gadgets?"

Minami sweatdropped.

"It's typical, okay, Ikkun? At least we have everything with us," she replied, "You are a disaster with girls. Anyway, keep your CPU and radios active, okay? The rest… Well, let's worry about this later. Anyways, take a backpack with you and put the P-90 in it."

"Roger that," the other girl and the boy obeyed and began to prepare to move.

"We'd better sneak in the main road, and I hope everyone would be able to speak at least Japanese or English," Minami sighed. "Communication is extremely important right now."

They casually walked to the main road, but always looking for possible threats. However, minutes later, silence was broken.

"Don't you find strange that there are no animals at all here?" the boy asked.

"That's true… I find something fishy about the environment," Minami replied.

"And the strangest thing of all is this environment is very similar of our world… there are trees, although they are bit different, rivers, hills, everything, except animals." the other girl commented.

"Speaking of animals...doesn't that look like one?" he pointed to a Rattatta carelessly wandering around. "I mean, it looks like a normal, purple rat with a giant set of incisors..." the boy affirmed. "Although, it looks pathetically weak and feeble." He wasn't able to resist the temptation to throw in a negative comment.

"Yes… and it seems that it spotted us. Strange, it's not reacting at all. Hey, Honoka-san, Ikkun, we'd better stick toge-"

"Please come here!" a woman's voice was heard. "Yes, I'm talking with you." she was wearing a police uniform.

"It seems we might have some trouble." the boy commented. "Police… let's create some havoc."

"I would like to ask you if you know anything about that crater near Pallet Town." Officer Jenny asked.

"Er… I don't have any idea." Minami replied.

"Well… I thought that you would know about anything useful, since it's so early in the morning, and you must have woken up moments ago. That was a mess though… nobody or nothing knew what exactly happened, and even Pokémon are confused… there was a crater but nothing like a meteorite was in it. Strange, don't you think? By the way… may I check your Trainer ID number?"

"Actually… we don't have tha… the Trainer ID?" Minami was sort of confused. She was now faced with new terms and she hadn't any idea what they meant.

"What? Are you traveling without Pokémon?" Officer Jenny was surprised.

"Er…. yes." Minami replied. Officer Jenny felt that something wasn't right.

"So… you guys are really reckless. Are you from another region?"

"Yeah…" The boy replied. However, Officer Jenny knew that something was definitely off the place with that group of teenagers.

"And where might be you heading to? Viridian Forest?"

"Actually…" Minami was trying to give a proper answer, "we are going to that town near the forest."

Office Jenny knew something's not right with their minds. Viridian Forest was very famous in Kanto region; it's mentioned in various stories, so it must be very rare to find someone who doesn't know its location. Worse, it seemed that those people didn't even know its existence. Moreover, the nearest concentration of houses from the forest was the Viridian City, and no towns were nearby. The girl gave a terrible answer.

"Sorry, I need you to accompany me to the Police Station. I would like to ask some questions. Please follow me."

"I regret to say that, but we can't be caught right now." Minami replied in a very aggressive tone. Going to the Police Station means getting captured and her mind was filled with lawsuits, trials and so. Anyway, her friends knew what her words meant.

Officer Jenny was suddenly faced with Minami holding a weapon and aiming at her. Before she could do anything, Minami fired.

Officer Jenny wasn't able to react properly, however, she was able to bring out her Poké Ball, and release her Arcanine, and hope the Pokémon would help her in any way.

Arcanine, seeing her trainer down, was instantly angered; it turned to the trio, and rushed into them.

Honoka was amazed by the giant dog before them. But she didn't hesitate and took out her weapon as well, and fired on the gigantic dog, leaving it no chance to counter anything at all, though it took ten rounds to take it down.

"Don't worry, Miss Officer, these are what you might call darts, although they look like bullets. You didn't feel any pain, right?" Minami said.

Officer Jenny knew she was right, but she was unable to move.

"I'm sorry that I'm going to leave you here. I hope that won't happen again." Minami turned away. "I take back what I said about where we were going; we don't know where we are at all." the trio then ran away from the scene, leaving a stunned Office Jenny and Arcanine.

That's the end! I know that 1300 words are not enough to be contained into a decent chapter, but I plan to write a lot in the next chapter! Please review it!
