Hey guys, I'm writing a new story. I've been searching for something like this, but no avail. So, I'm making it myself. I hope you enjoy, and stay tuned.
Gotham City

"Hey! Some back-up would be nice!" Superboy yelled into his communicator.
"We're on the way! Just don't let Mammoth destroy the building, there are still many civilians inside." Nightwing responded, barely dodging gunfire in the background.
The large apartment building was barely standing, as many of the walls and support beams were already badly damaged.
Superboy charged at Mammoth once more, before being easily grabbed, and flung through two layers of walls, weakening the failing building. People above could be heard as their home violently shook from the battle happening on the first floor.
"M'gann! Where are you!" Superboy shouted in his communicator, as Mammoth began to walk torwards him, a deathly smile smitten all over his face.
"I'm stuck right now, Connor. STAR labs is being attacked as well." Miss Martian replied.
Connor slowly rose to his feet, staggering, as his clothes were badly ripped, and visibly exhausted.
Mammoth chuckled a bit, before punching Superboy through another set of walls, sending him flying outside, and colliding into a parked car on the street.
Connor fell onto the concrete, rolling out of the torn metal and shattered glass that was once someone's car.
He could see Mammoth about to climb out the hole, before a huge rumbling shook the street, followed by the entire building crashing down on the monsterly villain.
Screams could be heard, as large amounts of rubble and dust rolled all over the area, clouding up everything Connor could see, as he laid there, helpless.
"Superboy!"
"Superboy, where are you!" distant screams yelled.
Connor coughed, as the fog began to clear, the white dust began settling all over the ground, as his teammates rushed to him.
No words were said, as Nightwing and M'gann helped him up and headed for a hidden Zeta-tube behind an old building a few city blocks down.
"Nightwing to Justice League. We have... civilian casualties." Dick said. M'gann continued to help Connor walk, who was nearly on the verge of fainting.
The Watchtower

Connor slowly opened his eyes as bright solar light shined brightly above him. He noticed the white solar-suit on his body as he sat up. He rubbed his head as he looked around the small room, noticing a fresh new outfit, just like his previous mission-attire. Connor stretched his arms, before turning off the solar lamp and getting up and grabbing the new clothes.
After getting dressed, Connor walked out into the hallway, hearing a news report coming from the meeting room.
Connor spotted the source, as a large projector screen showed the news report of an entire apartment building collapsing, with 67 people dead, and 41 people critically injured. Connor also spotted emergency personnel pulling people from the rubble.
"Connor? Are you Ok." M'gann asked, looking back from the projector. Several other heroes were there as well, all eyeing down Superboy.
"Guys, I can explain..."
"I think we've seen enough." Batman said, turning off the broadcast with a small remote.
"I tried to get Mammoth away from the building, but he really wanted to destroy it!" Connor responded.
"So, you helped him destroy it?" Wonder Woman interjected.
"No, I..."
"Connor, I'm sorry but you are suspended. I'm still debating for how long, but it's safe to say, until after this blows over." Batman said.
Connor looked down, taking in the guilt. He nodded to Batman, before leaving back to his room. M'gann had wanted to console him, but Nightwing held her back.
Connor walked over to his room, grabbing his leather jacket to cover up his Kryptonian shielded S.
New Orleans

After taking a Zeta-tube down to earth, Connor decided to stroll down the old French Quarter, where Superman and Martian Manhunter had stopped the Terror Twins.
It felt good to get away, exploring a new area early in the morning, as the sun began to rise in the distance.
"Psst! Hey!"
Connor looked around, until spotting an old lady in the shadow of an old buiding.
She seemed un-intimidating, frail, and very well aged, as the deep wrinkles on her face nearly covered her eyes. Connor came closer, as the woman lifted her frail hand and pointed to him.
"I know who you are...Superboy."
Connor seemed shocked, stepping slightly away in suspicion.
"I'm not going to harm you. But I know what you did in that building last night. You seek peace for your guilty mind. Lucky for you, we have an answer for you." She said, turning around, slowly walking.
Connor at first wasn't sure if to follow, but he went ahead anyways.
"So who are the "We" you were talking about." Connor asked.
"Dear child, you will learn of my friends on the Other side..." She trailed off, coming to a stop at a small shack in the shadow of a much taller building.
Connor followed her in, noticing a mechanical platform in the center of a red star painted onto the ground, with lit candles on each edge.
"So how is this supposed to work?" Connor asked.
"Simple child, stand on the platform, and let us do the rest." She said with a smirk, as her false teeth nearly slipped from her mouth.
Connor cautiously moved to the platform, standing on it's summit.
"Ok, now what?" He asked.
The old lady grinned even more. "Now, you disappear!"
"Huh?"
But before Connor could move, a wall of pure energy eveloped the platform, trapping Connor within the tube.
He began to flail and thrash, trying to free himself, with no avail.
"Relax child, for if you mess up the machine, it could teleport you anywhere." She said, pressing a button on a small remote.
But Connor continued fighting, a stomp causing the platform below to shoot spark from the wiring. Soon the tube of energy began getting brighter and brighter, as everything Connor could see began to fade into whiteness.
"Hello? Anyone from the light? I just took out Superboy. I repeat, Superboy no longer is a threat."
…...
Littleroot Town

"Tor-torchic." Professor Birch's Torchic cooed, as it stood on the table.
"I'm sorry nobody picked you this time, Torchic. I guess Brendan and May just wanted Mudkip and Treeko." Professor Birch said, rubbing the small chick's head.
"Tor-chic" It cooed sadly.
"Don't worry, I'll find you a good trainer, little guy." Professor Birch said, trying to cheer it up.
Professor Birch sat down at his PC, and began to type, as his assistant monitored the machines.
"Chic." Torchic chirped, before jumping off the table. It went straight for it's red feeding bowl, but only crumbs remained at the bottom, as Torchic searched for Pokemon food.
"Torchic-tor!" Torchic angrily chirped, but failed to get the attention of the Professor or his assistant.
Torchic then made it's way to the door, easily pushing it with it's head and strong little legs.
Torchic looked around, not spotting a human outside, as the summer heat of Hoenn was unbearable, but Torchic loved it. It pecked around at the short grass, as wild Pokemon in the forest surrounding the town seemed very active today.
As Torchic began pecking around, a bright flash of light came from nowhere, only a few yards away.
Torchic eagerly stared, undoubtedly more curious than the average Pokemon, as it never faced danger before.
The light lasted for about 30 seconds, before fading away, revealing a teenage-looking boy, laying on the ground.
Torchic walked up to his face, studying the boy.
"Tor? Torchic?"
Connor slowly opened his eyes, seeing a small orange and yellow baby chicken.
"Huh?" Connor said, sitting up. He looked around, noticing he was in an unfamiliar place. It was extremely hot, prompting Connor to remove his leather jacket. It didn't even matter if anyone here would recognize him as Superboy, as he was pretty much kiddnapped. He rose to his feet, as the tiny Chick Pokemon looked up at him.
"Torchic? Tor?" It chirped.
"Huh? You wanna help me out, little guy?"
"Torchic!" Torchic chirped happily.
Connor carefully scooped up the little bird, letting it perch on his right shoulder.
"So... where do we go?" Connor playfully asked.
"Torchic!" Torchic chirped loudly, using it's small wing to point at a sign saying "Route 101."
As Connor headed there, he heard someone screaming for help.
Connor did not hesitate to break into a run, as Torchic held on. They made it to a small clearing, where the professor was being chased by an ferret-like animal, with brown and gray zigzags all over it's body.
"Hey! You over there! Help me!" He screamed to Connor.
Connor gently put the chick on the ground, before heading over to catch the strange animal.
But before Connor could reach it, Torchic bolted past Connor, jumping high into the air. Torchic then began shooting small pellets of fire from it's mouth, hitting the zigzag animal, and surprising Connor.
The zigzag animal fled into a tall patch of grass, as Torchic still stood in front of Connor, seemingly ready to battle.
"Whew... I was out here looking for Torchic when I was jumped! You saved me. Thanks a lot! I haven't seen you around here before... but this is no place to chat. Please, Come down to my Pokemon Lab later, Okay?" The professor said, before heading off quickly.
"I guess we go to his lab. Cmon, little guy!" Connor said, following the Professor, as Torchic had no problem keeping up with Connor.
They followed the Professor to a large building, with a sign saying Pokemon Lab, followed by an image of the professor and his name (Birch) underneath.
As Connor and Torchic entered the building, they noticed the Professor waiting for them.
"So, what's your name, kid?" The professor asked.
Connor had already concluded that the professor had no idea he was, even with the red Kryptonian shield on his shirt.
"My name's Connor."
"Well, it's nice to meet you, Connor. Now, I assume you do not have any Pokemon as for now, but the way you and Torchic battled that Zigzagoon, I think you will make a wonderful trainer."
"Wait, hold on, first: what is a Pokemon, second, where am I, and third: Trainer?" Connor asked.
Professor Birch chuckled a bit. "This world is widely inhabited by creatures known as Pokemon. We humans live alongside Pokemon, at times as friendly playmates, and at times as cooperative workmates. And sometimes, we band together and battle others like us. But despite our closeness, we don't know everything about Pokemon. In fact, there are many, many secrets surrounding Pokemon. To unravel Pokemon mysteries, I've been undertaking research. That's what I do."
"Uh Ok... so where exactly am I?" Connor asked, trying to push away shock.
"This is Littleroot town, in Hoenn." The professor replied.
"So... is there a way I can get to the United States?... hopefully soon?" Connor asked.
"United States? I don"t think I've ever heard of it." The Professor responded, scratching his head.
"Am I even on Earth?!" Connor asked.
"What's Earth?" The Professor asked.
Connor facepalmed, knowing he was definitely screwed now.
"So, I'm either on a different planet, or different dimension... Or both." Connor muttered.
"I think the scientists at Mossdeep Space Center can help you better than I can." The professor said.
"Great. So how do I get there?" Connor asked.
The professor went to his desk and grabbed a map. He laid it out on the table where Torchic once stood.
"So, we are here." He said, pointing at Littleroot on the map. "And Mossdeep City is way over here." He said, pointing at a large island far off onto the upper right of the map.
Connor groaned, knowing that even if he super jumped, he wouldn't make it.
"Well... can I get a ride there?" Connor asked.
"I'm afraid not. You will have to follow the routes there, and probably catch a Pokemon that learns surf to get you there." The professor said.
"Ugh, alright... I guess I better get going if I'm ever gonna get back home." Connor responded.
"Wait! Here, take the map. You're gonna need it. Oh, and as a thanks for rescuing me, I'd like you to have Torchic."
"What? Really?" Connor asked, confused.
Torchic became overwhelmed with joy, as it leaped into Connor's hands.
"Torchic! Tor!"
"Yes, you're gonna need a Pokemon to travel with you." Professor said, tossing a small red and white ball to Connor. "While you're at it, why not give it a nickname?"
Connor stared at Torchic, thinking of names. Chick sounded a bit odd, and fire chicken sounded even worse. He didn't like flame, so Connor concluded with, "Pyro."
"So, what's this ball thing for?" Connor asked.
"That's used for catching and storing Pokemon. There are many different Pokeballs, but they all have the same purpose. Try it out. Point it at Torchic and wait."
"Ok." Connor said, following his instructions. He held out the ball at Torchic, which immediately transformed into red energy, that became sucked into the ball.
Connor was shocked, inspecting the Pokeball.
"Now, press the button on the middle for it to open, or just throw it in the air."
Connor threw the ball in the air, casing it to open, and the red energy to release, materializing back into Torchic on the floor.
"That's pretty cool." Connor said, picking up Pyro.
"Hey, another thing, Connor? Since you will be journeying around the Hoenn region, I urge you to challenge the gym leaders. You may need certain Gym badges to get certain places, or do certain things. Here's a case for your badges."
"Ok..." Connor responded, taking the case.
"Normally, I would give out a blank Pokedex to all the new trainers, but since you aren't technically a trainer, here's a complete version for this region only. The Pokedex will help you identify different Pokemon, and keep track of the moves of your party Pokemon."
Connor was feeling a bit overwhelmed by the amount of stuff. He was having difficulty putting everything in his pockets.
"Sorry about that... You might wanna stop at a Pokemart and get a travel bag. Here's enough cash to get one. There is a Pokemart in Oldale Town, not too far from here." The professor suggested, giving Connor 1000 Pokedollars.
"Ok, thanks, Professor. I guess we better start getting on our way." Connor replied.
"Ok Connor, I wish you the best of luck on your adventure, and your trip home!"
And so, after Connor managed to put everything in his pockets, (and ditch his jacket, much to his dismay) Connor and Pyro set off for route 101, heading for Oldale Town.
And that's it for this chapter! I hope you enjoyed this, and stick around for the next chapters!
(I feel like I have more to say, but idk right now...)
