This is a brand-new Pokemon series, since these are starting to pop up everywhere. This one will finally have Mikee's past, and he could further his relationship with Dawn here in the Unova region. To briefly explain, Mikee has completed the Johto Pokemon League, Dawn went back home and so did Mikee and his sister Alice. The story will explain the rest of the way.

Note: I capitalize Pokemon names. It's what I have been doing for the longest time, and it feels messy to me if it isn't in capital letters for Pokemon names or the word Pokemon.

Chapter 1

Years Go By


It was a beautiful afternoon day in Sandgem Town, as there was a small commotion outside a house. It was a familiar Pokemon Trainer by the name of Mikee Aeros. He was in the front of his house in a battle with his Eevee battling against his sister Alice's Pokemon which was a Sceptile. Things looked pretty intense between the two.

"Eevee, go! Use Iron Tail!" Mikee commanded. The Evolution Pokemon charged at the Forest Pokemon with a glowing steel tail. Sceptile blocked it successfully and pushed Eevee back.

"Sceptile, use Dragon Pulse!" Alice yelled. Sceptile reared its head and fired a powerful looking orb.

"Counter that with Shadow Ball!" Mikee yelled quickly. Eevee formed the attack but the Dragon Pulse was fast and it hit Eevee head-on, making the Evolution Pokemon skid backwards. The attack was pretty damaging, but Eevee shook off the pain and got ready.

"Go for it with Leaf Blade!" Alice commanded. Sceptile roared and its leaves on the arms became long and sharp. It charged at a blur towards Eevee.

"Use Dig, hurry!" Mikee yelled. Eevee leaped up and dug in time to dodge. The Forest Pokemon was surprised and was hit from underneath. Eevee jumped out, still ready.

"Not bad Eevee. You're getting stronger and stronger every time. I'm proud of the both of you. Sceptile, take a rest." Alice said and returned the Pokemon. She sighed in relief and pushed back her dark brown hair. Her clothes consisted of a red strap top with a long black skirt and sneakers. Her brown eyes reflected care as she looked at her younger brother.

Mikee was nineteen of age now, and he did look older than before. His looks though slightly changed as spring was around the corner. He didn't wear his trademark beanie, but now wore a black and white cap with the Ultra Ball symbol on it, a red long sleeve shirt, beige pants, and blue sneakers himself. He had the Poketech on his left wrist, his Pokeball belt full of Pokeballs and his Eevee on his shoulder too.

"Thanks sis. I needed the training. Even though I won the Silver Conference, I still have to become the best. The Elite Four isn't accepting Trainers yet." Mikee answered, petting Eevee as they sat down on the front steps. Alice herself was about twenty-nine, and pretty young for being his only family. It made her wonder something about what their mom and dad used to be.

"Alice, do you remember Mom and Dad?" Mikee asked as he looked up at the blue sky. She looked at his brown eyes, and they were full of confusion. She remembered he was just born at the time around two years old. She barely remembered then herself. Their whole history was weird.

Alice remembered the both of them leaving them around fifteen years ago. She couldn't remember much, but they had to go to the Unova region for some business. At least, that's what they told her. Mikee was only around four, and he was with Professor Rowan playing with the Pokemon. After they left, her parents weren't heard from since.

"Not much. All I know is that they went to the Unova region." She answered to him. He sighed a bit and looked down at Eevee, who was taking a nap.

"I wonder what happened to them. They just vanished without a single trace after that." He stated and looked up at the sky again.

"There's nothing we can do. We have to move on." Alice said to him, looking up at the sky too. He got up after that.

"I can't move on, not until I find out what happened to Mom and Dad." He told her and began to walk in the forest. He was going to have some time alone. Alice understood as the video phone began to ring. She went to go answer it. Alice answered the phone and Johanna Berlitz was on the other line.

"Johanna? How are you doing?" Alice asked as she sat down. She hasn't seen Johanna since Mikee came back from Johto, which was three years ago. She looked slightly older though, but how could you tell in adults? Her hair was beginning to fade towards being gray though.

"I'm doing fine Alice. I was just calling you to ask you something." She said.

"What is it?" Alice asked.

"Is Mikee planning to go to the Unova region soon? I was thinking of sending Dawn there, and I was wondering if Mikee could go along with her, like he did in Johto." She asked.

"Both of them? Well, Mikee hasn't said anything lately, so I don't think he's really interested in going. He's been thinking of our parents, and Unova is where they disappeared to." Alice told Johanna and then began to tell her about what she remembered from her past.


Mikee was out on the forest area, leaning back on a tree. He had his eyes closed, and he noticed Eevee was back at the house, probably with Alice. This was one of the few times he wasn't with Eevee. Sure, a year without journeying is pretty boring, but he's been to the other places, all except for Unova.

Unova, where my parents disappeared to. I don't know what to do if I do go there. I have to find out more. I have to see why they vanished. I have decided. I'm going to Unova. Mikee thought and turned his hat around. He walked back to his house to find Eevee. His trusted Pokemon was asleep still. He smiled at the sight which would be very cute to most.

"Are you sure? It could work…All right then. I'll bring him over and we'll spend time together. Bye." He heard Alice say over the video phone. She walked outside to see him sitting there. Her expression froze, fearing that he heard the details.

"Did you hear everything?" She asked.

"All I heard was that we're going somewhere. Where are we both going?" Mikee asked. She sighed in relief and smiled.

"You'll see. Just bring Eevee with you."


They were already on the road, and Mikee knew where they were heading. It was Twinleaf Town, where Dawn was. It's been a while, but Mikee remembered her. He was in love with her, and he couldn't deny it any longer. They were traveling together in Johto. Mikee was challenging the Gyms and she was into their Contests. It was at the Lake of Rage back then, where he admitted his love to her.

The only problem was that she was still in love with Ash at the time, and she liked him. Mikee understood that. Even though he barely understood Dawn sometimes, he knew why. She probably thought this Ash was better than he was. Mikee accepted that from Dawn, but accepting the fact that his one-and-only crush loves some other kid; he still couldn't shake off his love for her. He wanted to make her happy. Seeing her now would just make it sort of awkward. Alice didn't know abut this because he never told her. Twinleaf Town was just around the corner, and so was Dawn.

"We're here! Come on, let's go see someone." Alice told him with a smile. Mikee's expression didn't change as they walked in the town's boundaries. They were going by houses until they reached one which only confirmed Mikee's suspicions. It was Dawn's house, and it still looked the same. Nothing much has changed around here. Eevee jumped off of his shoulder and ran up to the door. Eevee liked Dawn too. She was friendly towards his Pokemon. Alice knocked on the door several times, and Mikee tensed up slightly.

The door unlocked and Johanna was the one who answered it. She looked at them with a smile, especially at Mikee. As they came in, he didn't see Dawn around the living room. She was probably up in her room, he assumed.

"Welcome the both of you! It's been a while, hasn't it?" Johanna asked the both of them.

"Yes, it has been a while. We haven't heard from you since Mikee here returned from Johto." Alice said as he sat down along with her. She looked at Eevee who went up to Glameow as the both began chatting in their own Pokemon language. It was cute seeing the Evolution Pokemon chat with the cat Pokemon. He smiled at the sight and heard someone knocking on the door.

"Mom, it's me, I'm coming in." He heard someone say and the door opened to reveal Dawn. Mikee turned a bit red in the face at her sight. Sure, it's been a year, but she changed a bit. Her hair was still as long as ever, reaching halfway down her back. Her figure has developed a bit, and she looked older. Her clothes looked the same as before when they met with her black top and pink skirt with pink go-go boots. Piplup was walking by her side as the Penguin Pokemon finally noticed Eevee there. It chirped happily and ran over to the Evolution Pokemon. Dawn looked and saw Mikee, and her eyes widened. For a second, the both of them looked into each other's eyes. Brown orbs stared into blue crystals for a few seconds and both of them smiled.

"Well, the both of you are here, that's good. We both have something to ask of you." Johanna asked as she got up. Alice joined her as well. Both Mikee and Dawn looked confused as Alice started.

"We want you both to go to the Unova region."

"What?" Dawn and Mikee both asked in unison. Johanna faced to Dawn and Alice faced to Mikee.

"Honey, for the past year, you've been training and talking about exploring more, but you can't just train here. You haven't been to the Kanto region because you-know-who might be there. You need to go out and explore the region. There are a lot of new things out there, and you should explore it with him, because I trust him to watch on you, knowing how you get sometimes." Johanna explained.

"Same goes for you too Mikee. I know the Unova region is a mystery, but you can't deny it just because it affects you. The both of you should go together." Alice asked. Both of them looked at each other until Mikee said, "Yeah, I was thinking of going, if you're willing to go. I could go find out more about my parents there" He asked.

"Mikee, please, you need to learn how to forget about them. Do you even know where to start?" Alice asked. Mikee wanted to answer back, but all he did was have his mouth open with no words coming out. He knew she was right.

"There's a boat heading for tomorrow early in the morning. You two want to take that?" Johanna asked. Both of them nodded, looking eager to go on another journey.


Mikee and Dawn were both hanging out in the front porch. They were sitting on the steps a couple of feet apart. It has been so long since they've seen each other. He was feeling nervous though. She looked at him for a moment and then returned to the sunset. He wanted to say something, although he was never good with words. It felt awkward now, since he has already admitted his love. It was still there, but it felt weird. His body felt like it was on fire, and his mouth dried up.

"So, how have you been?" Dawn asked, breaking the silence between them. Mikee gulped and cleared his throat. It was funny how a girl like Dawn could affect him like this.

"I've been okay. I'm just training with Eevee and my other Pokemon. It does feel weird that I beat the Johto League, but the Elite Four hasn't accepted trainers yet until next spring." He told her.

"That's good news at least." Dawn told him, her voice trailing off a bit. She sounded a bit sad though, and that's what got Mikee's attention.

"What about you? You seem pretty sad though." He asked. He could tell it from the depth of her eyes. She sighed and looked at him.

"Ash doesn't like me. He's in love with some other girl." She said and looked away.

"What?" Mikee asked, taken aback a bit.

"I went to Kanto a week ago because he came back from Unova himself. When he returned, he was with some red-head, and they were together. I met her, and she's very aggressive, but I guess Ash is into girls like that." She said and looked at him. "I thought I loved him, but…"

"Dawn, you do love him." Mikee said, as he looked to the ground. It was still true. If she didn't love him, then Dawn would have never brought it up about him.

"But, it's just…he…" She stuttered, beginning to tear up, until Mikee slided to her. He put his hand on top of her hand and looked into her eys again.

"It's okay; you don't have to bring it up. Look, we're both starting a new journey in Unova. I want to go there to compete in something completely different than the normal battles here. There are so many other Pokemon there we haven't seen yet. The battles will be pretty intense there, I can feel it. I'm also sure that there's something for you there too." Mikee told her, and then he froze. He didn't realize that he was holding her hand. He turned a bit red, but she smiled.

"You're right. We can find something new there, and if not, then I'll learn new things and bring back new Pokemon for Contests!" She said, getting excited too. Both of them were smiling and simply enjoying the sunset.

It was the night before the journey began. Mikee couldn't sleep as he was sleeping at Dawn's house for the night. The dock was in Sandgem Town, so Alice would have his things packed up. He was thankful for that. He couldn't sleep because Dawn was still on his mind. Sure, hearing that Ash broke her heart by meeting some red-headed girl was sad, but it also meant that Dawn could like him now, maybe to the point of love. He didn't know, but he guessed it. His heart felt lighter. Mikee had a chance, and he wasn't going to waste it.


Well, this ends the first chapter of my new and inspired series, Unova Journeys! This time, I'm going to continue it unlike Johto Journeys. Now, my plans are pretty simple. I'm going to make it sound more like the show while following the game's plotline and my own plotline at the same time. As for its place in the anime, it takes place after Ash gets out of Unova, and he goes with Misty instead. Yeah, in the end to me, it's Pokeshipping, Well, no need to worry, I am including the shipping that I don't like and despise, but it's to make it fair.


And, once again, I'm accepting OC's, but this time, I'm going to use them. XD. It's a new form this time around too. I already have two OC's I'm planning to use, so submit via review!
