VERY IMPORTANT: To prevent confusion, this adventure is a Nuzlocke and is based on the plot in Pokemon Diamond. Pokemon such as Dialga belong to Game Freak and characters such as Syndicate belong to me. For confusion of whether this story is a self insert, NO. I am NOT Syndicate, but Syndicate is my character, no matter how similar it is to my username.

My name is Syndicate. I have black hair that goes to the bottom of my neck and usually ends up covering half my eye. I also wear a red jacket, black jeans, and black boots. Often, I like to wear a silver wristwatch, but I often forget to put it on. I just moved into my new home, but a silhouette yelled in my way, and went into a building. Leaving my mother to pack, I followed the figure. The room was dark.
"Hello there!", a voice said. Presumably, it came from the silhouette. "It's so very nice to meet you!"
"What is -" I begun to ask, but the voice interrupted me.
"Welcome to the world of Pokemon!", it continued. I begun looking for the door, but it must have been blocked on the outside, because it didn't even budge. The light suddenly came on. It was a rather obese-ish man with brown shoes, dark blue jeans, a white shirt, a blue vest, white hair, and a white mustache that covered the man's upper lip. His eye color wasn't clear, though. "My name is Rowan.", he said.
"Yeah, cool, can I leave now?", I asked, but he pretended like I never said anything.
"However, everyone just calls me the Pokemon Professor. Before I go any further, is this your first adventure?", Rowan asked.
"Adventure? What, now?"
"If you need advice, I'm certainly capable of giving it."
"I... What? I've heard about going on one, but me?" I was worried. Who was this Rowan guy? Why is he a professor? Does he teach?
"This world is widely inhabited by creatures known as Pokemon. Here, I have a Poke ball. Touch the middle of the Poke Ball, if you please."
"Uh..." I struggled to speak.
"TOUCH IT!" Professor Rowan yelled. I just calmed myself, and poked it. A Poke ball is a ball with a red upper half, white lower half, and white, circular middle. Suddenly, a Pokemon came out. Munchlax?
"We humans live alongside Pokemon as friends." Rowan said. "At times we play together, and at other times we work together. Some people use their Pokemon to battle and develop closer bonds between them." He started to pause. "What do I do? I conduct research so that we may learn more about Pokemon." Munchlax went back into it's Poke ball. Now, why don't you tell me a little bit about yourself."
"Uhm..." I just stopped breathing for twelve straight seconds. Why does he want me?
Is the man blind? "Are you a boy, or are you a girl?"
I just ended it there. I slapped myself until I realized my hands were covered in blood, plunging me back into reality. I wiped it off, but realized that there were no wounds in my hands. My face was bleeding. I played along, and answered his question.
"I am a boy", I said reluctantly. Did I need ever have to answer such a question? Maybe not.
"Oh, so you are a boy?" He asked again. I rolled my eyes then nodded. "Tell me, what is your name?"
"Syn... Syndicate" I said slowly
"So your Syn? A fine name that is!" He only took the first few letter of my name. Great, I bet it's going to be plopped onto my nametag, permanently stuck to my favorite shirt, and now all of the extremist Christians are going to go after poor mother. "Now this boy here... I believe he's your friend. What might his name be?" Finally, Rowan was making sense. The boy wore brown shoes, blue jeans, a red and white striped jacket, green scarf, brown bag, and had blonde hair that stood up directly above his ears.
"Oh, him?" I said. He's been with me for awhile. In fact, he's my half brother. "His name is Trent"
"Trent is it? That your friends name?" He asked as I nodded.
"Alright Syn, the time has come," He said. "Your very own tale of grand adventure is about to unfold. On your journey, you will meet countless Pokemon and people. I'm sure that along the way you will discover many things, perhaps even something about yourself. Now, go on, leap into the world of Pokemon!", then he shoved me out the door. I walked home and turned on the TV, but not before I said hi to mom.
"Despite the exploration team's best efforts," The news reporter said, "however, the rare, oddly colored Pokemon eluded detection. The rumored red Gyarados failed to appear, even fleetingly, to the crestfallen team."
"That concludes our special report, "Search for the Red Gyarados!", a message on the TV appeared. "Brought to you by Jubilife TV on Nationwide Net! See you next time!"
I sat in my new room. Apparently, I lived in the attic. In the front of the room was a staircase, TV, conveniently-placed Wii, clock, and computer with just one document that says "adventure rules". Not sure why that's there. In the middle was a rug, and the back has my bed and a tree. I set my clock then took a nap. Two hours later, I went downstairs.
My mom yelled my name, starting the day off well. "Trent came calling for you a little while ago.", she said. "I don't know what it was about, but he said it was an emergency.", then she sat on the couch in front the downstairs TV. "Oh, and don't go into the tall grass! You don't have a Pokemon to defend yourself.", Mom said.
"Yeah, I know." I said. I got dressed, then went out.
"Twinleaf town... Why is this place here again?" I visited one of the houses, only to find Trent pushing into me.
"What was that about?!" Trent yelled. It was his fault, really. "Oh, hey, Syn! I'm going to the lake. You come too! And be quick about it! OK, Syn? I'm fining you one million poke-dollars if your late!" He ran off, then came back. "Oh, jeez! Forgot something!" Then he ran into his house, as I followed. I found him upstairs grabbing his stuff. How can he forget it? He even left his bag behind.
"Oh hey! We're going to the lake! I'll be waiting on the road! It's a TEN million fine if your late!", and he rushed back down. I hated that kid sometimes.
