A Typical Pokemon Journey
Guess what! I've decided to create a story with a non-indicative name...what? Did you think this story was going to live up to its name?
Well guess what...it's not...I'm going to poke fun at Pokemon (both the anime and the video games) and all its general tropes...generally, it's going to be a parody of sorts...
It's not going to be an offensive story though...I'm not going to go that far with it...so I'm sorry if I've disappointed you in that regard. Ah well. Let's sit back and enjoy the show!
Chapter 1: Start Of A Journey
Late at night, deep inside Celadon City, there was something sinister cooking inside the Rocket Game Corner...underneath the Game Corner to be precise.
As it turns out, Team Rocket was once again up to no good...this time, they were currently planning to kidnap a young girl and to extort her parents out of their money.
Several Team Rocket admins and higher-ups were sitting at a black table with a red R on it, waiting to hear the commands of their master, Giovanni, who was sitting in his personal chiar, ready to explain the plan.
"Greetings, my minions. I hope you're looking forward to the thought of being a millionaire, because today is the day that we're going to make a million dollars!" explained Giovanni.
"We're going to make a million dollars today? That's a bit much even considering how much you pay us..." inquired one of the admins.
"That we are...and we've got the means to do it, too! Why do you think I called you all here for?" answered Giovanni, handing each of the admins a picture.
"We're going after a young girl? I thought we were going to go after a rare Pokemon like we usually do." inquired another one of the admins.
"Good guess, but no. And it's not just any girl. Believe it or not, she's part of one of the richest families around...the seventh-richest family in the world, in fact. Specifically, she's part of the Hisakawa family... If we can capture her, we'll be able to get her family to do whatever we want...which in this case is to give us a nice chunk of cash." explained Giovanni.
"Now we get it. We're going to hold someone for ransom! Wicked plan, boss!" cheered the admins.
"Yes yes, I know how despicable this plan is going to be. But it's also a rather simple task...so it shall be a task we'll be entrusting to one of our grunts. In fact, we shall be entrusting it to the newest member of our group...who shall be arriving right this minute." said Giovanni.
Sure enough, a Team Rocket Grunt arrived in the room, ready to await the instructions of his master.
"You rang?" inquired the lastest member of Team Rocket.
"Isn't he a little young to be a Team Rocket grunt? I heard that he's only twelve years old..." inquired one of the admins.
"Yes he is...but we never actually set an age limit for the organization to be honest. It's not like we're friends with the local police force, you know." explained Giovanni.
"Oh, right...how could we have forgotten about that." noted another one of the admins.
"Yeah, Officer Jenny is our sworn enemy." answered yet another admin.
"And she's everywhere! It's like she's omnipresent or something!" nodded one of their scientists.
The admins and scientists all shivered in revulsion.
"Your name is Jake, last name Kurosawa, is it not?" inquired Giovanni.
"Yes, sir. That happens to be my name...I'm glad that you remembered it." nodded the Team Rocket Grunt.
"Well then Jake...I'll going to give you an offer you can't refuse...I want you to bring me a little something special..." said Giovanni, handing the picture of his target.
"You're sending me on a kidnapping mission? But I've only been working for you for a week...don't you think this is a bit much for me?" inquired Jake.
"Well Jake...I'll have you know that if you successfully complete the mission, I'll give you a profit of the cut...how does a thousand dollars sound?" explained Giovanni.
"A thousand dollars? Well, if you think I'm cut out for the job...I suppose I'll accept." answered the Team Rocket Grunt.
"Very good! Here is the address to her estate." said Giovanni as he also handed her address to the Grunt.
"Hopefully I'll be seeing you soon!" said the leader of Team Rocket as he gave Jake his farewells.
"Sheesh...I've only been part of Team Rocket for a week, and already they're sending me on a mission to get a million dollars...what is the world coming to?" thought Jake as he went on the mission.
Meanwhile, at the Hisakawa Mansion...
Lucy Hisakawa was having trouble falling asleep and heading off to Dreamland. Why you may ask? Well, tommorrow was the day that she was finally going to get to a Pokemon Trainer...it was going to be a pretty big day for her, and it wasn't going to be an easy wait.
Normally, she would have gone on a Pokemon journey at the age of 10...but since her parents were rather protective of her (possibly a bit overprotective, in fact, but she didn't really mind), they insisted that she waited until she was eleven years old before she started her Pokemon adventure.
Fortunately, though she was rather ditzy (much like a certain Pokemon trainer that owned a PIkachu), she was smart enough not to destroy her alarm clock by mistaking it for a Pokeball, and had in fact had placed it in a place far away from her bed where she would be unable to reach it in her sleep.
"Life is good." she thought. Still, she got the strange feeling that her life was going to change forever soon, and it wasn't simply because she was going to get a Pokemon Trainer license. Why was she getting that feeling?
Curiously, she decided to look out the window and see if there was anything unusual happening outside. Fortunately, there was not...in fact, things seemed pretty normal. Then again, it was pretty quiet outside.
She was well-aware that Professor Oak was handing out free starter Pokemon to those that wanted to go out and challenge the Pokemon League, so she decided that Pallet Town would be a good place to stop first as any.
Her parents had trusted her with a precious sum of money to assist her on her pokemon journey, so getting the supplies she needed to capture Pokemon shouldn't be much of a problem.
Suddenly, Lucy noticed that there was a shooting star crashing to the ground not too far from her house. She nearly jumped in surprise. Curious, she decided to make a wish. Now was an opportunity as any.
"I sure wish that I could make it to the Pokemon League...that would be awesome..." murmured Lucy as she finally went to bed.
Meanwhile, outside of the Hisakawa Mansion...
As it turns out, a wild Clefairy had learned a valuable lesson about paying attention to her surroundings when she was flying her spaceship.
"Clefairy, Clefairy, Clefairy..." she murmured.
How she could have been so careless? She had been flying so well just a few hours ago...how had things gone downhill so fast?
She wondered if her spaceship license was going to be confiscated for her reckless behavior. She in fact dreaded the thought.
But for now, she decided that the best thing that she could do was look for things that she could use to repair her spaceship with. She had to admit, there was a surprisingly large amount of objects that could be used to get it airborne again.
The only question was where exactly she should look. Surely there would be many different possibilities.
Should she try searching into the nearby forest? She might be able to find something...though she doubted she'd be able to find metal there.
Suddenly, she noticed that there was a mansion nearby, and she promptly blessed her good fortune. With a building of that size, finding what she needed would be a breeze.
"Clefairy!" cheered the wild Clefairy.
Unfortunately, she didn't consider the possibility that there would be three human beings living inside the building as she advanced towards the mansion.
Well, it looks like a Pokemon Trainer is getting ready to set out on her pokemon Journey...but it looks like things aren't going to be so simple...a Team Rocket Grunt is after her so that he can extort money from her...and a Clefairy is ready to wreak havoc in her own home before she even sets forth to Pallet Town...
Basically, just because she's well-off doesn't mean that she isn't going to undergo hardship...sorry, but I'm trying my best not to create a Mary Sue here...even if this pokes fun at Pokemon every now and then...
And in case it's not obvious, Jake and Lucy here are going to be some of the main characters in the story...they're two out of the four main characters in fact...you'll be encountering the other two soon enough...
Oh, and you're probably wondering...why am I making a Team Rocket Grunt one of the protagonists? Everyone knows that Team Rocket are bad dudes...well, soon enough, he's going to start to become a good guy...though his history as a Team Rocket Grunt is still going to haunt him eventually...
As for whether Jake and Lucy are the main protagonist of my fanfic overall...use your imagination!
So what do you think of this story so far? Feel free to leave me a review! It's obliged! Thank you and goodbye!
