Okay, listen up. If I'm guessing right, you came onto this page looking for a run-of-the-mill fanfiction – some action, drama, maybe a little romance. But I've got to tell you right now that this is no fabrication of my own ideas. This is really happening to me.

Let me explain a little about myself before I go on – My name's Hannah. I won't give any more than that, for safety issues. I'm a typical 14-year-old girl. Brown hair, bluish-gray eyes, the whole average-kid shebang. I also happen to be a total Pokemon nerd. When I was younger, I was given a Gameboy Color (around the time the DS was released, mind you). My first game on that sucker was Pokemon Yellow, then Silver and Gold. After that I was hooked. I've played through nearly every game and generation of Pokemon, pretty much in order. Last time I checked, I've got Yellow, Sapphire, FireRed, Pearl, Platinum, Explorers of Sky, Shadows of Almia, and just recently I added both Black and White to the group.

Well, I've rambled enough about that. The point is, I'm a big fan. I've sifted through fanfictions myself, and since I saw a few not too different from this, I figured this would be the safest place to tell what's happened.

I've probably annoyed you by now, huh? 'What's happened,' you're thinking. 'Get to the point,' you're thinking. Well, I'm stuck in the world of Pokemon. And now you're thinking, 'Oh, great. Another tale about a Pokenerd getting sucked into their games. I'm gone'. Please don't go – I swear, it's not like that.

Yesterday, I was running the same schedule as usual. Go to school, pretend I'm interested, go home, chill out. It was just an average day. Nothing out of the ordinary, except for maybe that kid who started break-dancing in the hallway. I played my games until about two in the morning until I crashed. It was when I woke up again that this got started.

You know those movies with the amazing graphics? The ones that look real, but on a second look are animated? Yeah, that's what I woke up to. A setting very similar to those movies – trees with enhanced-color leaves, a lake of glittering pure water. Both and more were present.

I'll stop beating around the bush – I found myself in Sinnoh this morning, the setting of the Diamond-Pearl-Platinum arc. I didn't know that for some time, of course – I just thought I was having the coolest dream ever. I was in my typical weekend gear – my favorite American Eagle jeans, a random t-shirt, a necklace with a wing pendant, tennis shoes, and the purple hoodie that's practically glued to me no matter where I am. I had a backpack of mine over my shoulders, and loaded down with stuff I hadn't felt like going through at the time. Other than that, I had nothing. After some wandering, I found out I was at Lake Verity from a signpost. The only reason I didn't keel over with shock on the spot was because, as said, I thought I was dreaming. However, I never saw a single Pokemon – also unsurprising to me.

I eventually grew bored of the area, and started heading toward the Route I knew would lead to Twinleaf Town. I was forcefully made to realize this was no dream by two attacking Starly – hello, irony. I didn't have any Pokemon, which I quickly realized, so I just did my best to run from them. I got pretty cut up by their beaks by time I got to Twinleaf, and I'm ashamed to admit that I wound up unconscious not two steps into the little rural town.

I'm writing this from the room that's supposed to belong to Dawn. Judging from what her mom – Mrs. Johanna, I mean – told me, some dude nearby found me and took me to her to get fixed up. She did a pretty good job. I didn't actually get terribly hurt, but that's just my lack of pain tolerance biting me in the butt, I guess. She's letting me stay here (actually, not letting me leave) until I heal up a little. I got the whole 'tall grass' lecture, but in the end she let me off pretty easy.

While I was in the house, I went through my backpack. I found my laptop in there – what I'm using right now – along with my MP3 player, their chargers, two changes of clothes, and the other typical things I'd bring for, say, a sleepover or something. I also found something I did not expect at all; my HeartGold/SoulSilver Post-Game guide. I hid that thing at the bottom of my backpack, since I could hardly explain such a thing to anyone here who saw it.

By now, you're probably wondering why I hadn't freaked out – well, I did. Bad. But it was all in my head. I just played the dumb act and bit my lip, which I've had plenty of practice doing in front of my parents. I plan on venting my canned hysteria as soon as I'm alone and unable to be heard.

I know this will pass as a crappy chapter, so I'm calling it the 'Prologue' of my electronic journal. I plan on telling exactly what happens to me here with this, so if this all does happen to be a dream, when I wake up I can check my computer. If it's gone, so is the dream. If it isn't...well, I'm not going to go there for now.

As to why my laptop can still get Earth internet (I'm temporarily assuming this isn't Earth), I have no clue. I plan to try to figure that out while I'm here...or at least until I wake up. So...I guess I'm done for today. Hannah, out.
