The World of Journey of the Aura Guardian
So this is just a one-shot explanation about the world of Journey of the Aura Guardian. I just wanted to give you all a thorough explanation about the world, which is extremely AU. So, let's begin.
First off, the Pokémon world is our world. That means that places like the United States, Russia, and France exist. The kanto region is just a part of Japan. It also means that things like the Civil War, WW2, the moon landings, 9/11, etc. actually happened. I am also setting the story right now, as in chapter one is happening in the year 2016. I'm doing this so if any huge events happen in world news, I can incorporate it into the story.
For history purposes, Pokémon are from the Japanese Islands. Being relatively closed off from society until the late 1800's, the existence of Pokémon was unknown by nearly all the world. The legendary pokemon aren't really gods, that was just what ancient Japanese people thought and created a religion around. After pokemon helped out in WW2(which I am doing because author privileges) the pokemon rangers and G-Men were formed by the UN to keep legendary pokemon from upsetting nature.
In the late fifties, with pokemon starting to spread around the world, many people began to train them, and performed friendly battles with others. Over time the hobby turned into a sport, and the pokemon league was formed to run it. It created leagues in specific areas of the world that met certain requirements. That's why the Unova region is just the area around New York and not the entire US (Nationwide US league will become a thing in this story, similar to Russia and Great Britain.)
In this world pokemon have a much greater role in the world. They work in the military, help people with disabilities, and help out in scientific endeavors. But it also means that others will use them to. Team Rocket, Team Plasma, etc. will basically be terrorists. This means that battles with those organizations will be much more bloody and gory. Guns will exist and be shone throughout the story. Eventually this will all lead up to the event stated in chapter one. I won't give away too much but it is basically WW3 but with legendary pokemon on each side fighting as well militaries. Have fun imagining that until I get there.
Well that wraps up that. If you have any ideas about anything I should add or take out, please let me know. Until then, this is NASA32 signing out.
P.S. Chapter 3 will hopefully be out by next month, Mexico set everything back and Track season began so it gives me less time to work. Sorry about that!
