It was a certain night.
A faint light shone in the darkness.
Pon...
A faint sound rang through the air.
And so, a certain creature was brought into existence.
Meanwhile, in another location...
Pon...
Pon...
Pon...
More of the creatures spawned one after another.
The creatures shapes and appearance varied wildly.
Among the creatures did quite a few resemble other creatures we were already familiar with.
However, they were different to any other creatures that had ever been in this world.
Like how normal creatures evolved eons ago, the creatures of this world had their own ancestors.
But these creatures were different.
Suddenly, on that night...

Pon...
Pon...
Pon...
Nowadays, we have an encyclopedia to identify these creatures that suddenly appeared in this world.
The people of the world soon came to identify these creatures as Pocket Monsters.

"Why? How? What brought the Pocket Monsters into our world? To explain this mystery is tantamount to explaining the mystery of mankind's origins."

An excerpt from "An Introduction to the Research of Portable Beasts" by Professor Samuel Oak of the Celadon University Portable Beast Department...

<An Explanation for Parents and Guardians>
When it comes to Pokémon... A picture is worth a thousand words.
If you want to know about Pokémon, interacting with one directly will teach you much more than reading a hundred theses. Which is to say, despite being an old adage, there's no shame in not knowing what is a mystery to all.
To summarise, using words to explain Pocket Monsters to a person who has never seen one before... would be incredibly difficult.
For example,
"A turtle-like Pokémon", would resemble a turtle...
Described as a type of reptile in the OED. ... The description is of an animal whose body is covered by a hard shell on the front and back with a head, tail and pairs of arms and legs that can be retracted inside the shell. ... This describes the shape... such a Pokémon would take.
"A frog-like Pokémon", the OED describes a frog as...
An amphibian with few facial features. ... Their larvae are referred to as tadpoles, they live by the waterside in places like rivers or swamps. They frequently make noise in early summer and hibernate during winter. ... Which is the form... that kind of Pokémon would have.

So...
The OED is considered the world's standard for dictionary definitions.
If among the descriptions of turtles, frogs and other things in this novel, you come across an animal you are not familiar with, feel free to look it up in the dictionary. No matter whom the publisher of your dictionary is, the definition of most common words won't vary much from the OED, so please rest assured.

These creatures came unexpectedly and became a great part of the people's lives and all was in harmony for millennia, except the occasional maniac running around with his pokemon partner or evil organization. But this all came tumbling down one day, when the night had lost all light and the technology humans had earned became scrap.

The nightmare had just begun and by the end of the month most of humanity had been killed off, the pokemon they had treasured and protected had lost all reason become the wild beasts with blood thirst. They had become pure monsters corrupted by a dark force that was unknown till now, many had made research and their own calculations but there was nothing inclusive.

Though all seemed to have been lost Human kind did not give in and continued to struggle against the monsters by taming them and learning to use Aura affectively. They had been pushed to live in small groups in hard to reach places and made pokemon their slaves by giving them harsh trainings as human strength was limited. The weapons of old were useless and making new tech had become an impossibility but when all hope was about to be lost one individual rose up.

The Revolutionary Known as Red with his genuine Pokemon partners and other friends, they went around saving people and liberating area off evil pokemon and finally they set their eye on the source of all the corruption. Humanity put all their hope on the shining symbol of a new world but the nightmare had never ended, and since the team left no word had been heard of them.

Many humans lost themselves to despair and committed suicide and lived in fear, which caused them to die of very quickly and only a small resistance was left. In one of the resistance bases individuals could be seen scurrying about in a hurry as something important was taking place, there one last chance for freedom.

One of the individuals was a beautiful woman with a figure and aura that suggested that she went through battles talked to a person who seemed to be in charge, "Doctor Do you think this is the right choice, we might be condemning these people to their deaths."

The doctor didn't stop what he was doing but replied, "We have no choice, this is do or die situation. These people will have the qualities we are looking for and after going through so much research I have proposed this plan as the best method to deal with our crisis and if we fail then it was meant to be."

This made the place quiet down and drowned it in a gloomy atmosphere but the Dr. wouldn't have any of it and shouted at them do get back to their work. "Let's get the process started and meet our heroes."


"Are you okay?" Naruto Uzumaki asked his younger sister Naruko as he stuck a cooling gel sheet on her forehead. The poor girl was shivering under the bedcovers with fever.

With the brightest smile she could manage, Naruko said, "Yeah."

"I see," Naruto complied, but inside he was berating himself. He now knew in hindsight that she had been showing cold symptoms since yesterday, but because he hadn't recognized them for what they were, he had dragged Naruko through his training regime which was one of the most inhumane things to do but she had asked him to make her stronger so she won't be left behind.

The damage had accumulated and even the healing factor seemed not to do its job for some reason, he had tried looking into it as it was abnormal for Chakra born to get sick like this.

He had thought she was acting strange, but he didn't think that it was because of a cold…
It must have started yesterday morning, when they were watching television together. At that time, a news broadcast was reporting abnormal weather all around the world. Even though it was midsummer, Iwa was covered in heavy snow, while heavy rain flooded Suna. In contradiction to that, the swamps in Konoha dried up completely from drought. The weather forecaster said this was all due to destruction of the environment through constant battles which even he thought was some bull the mortal was spouting and questioning why he watched the channel and remembered that he liked to enjoyed listening to what nonsense the mortals could come up with so that he could laugh about it.

But while he thought that this problem would be handled soon once the people in power get annoyed, even he could do it but that would be to troublesome and he enjoyed destruction now and then. While Naruko lost herself in the news said, "He's wrong."

"Eh?" Naruto, who had been stuffing his cheeks with toast food, gave Naruko a strange look.
Naruko's eyes stayed wholeheartedly fixed on the TV screen, which wasn't showing anything in particular as far as he could see. As if in a daze, she softly whispered an unfamiliar word.
"Poke….mon."
"Pokemon? What's that?" Naruto asked with raised eyebrows.

This time, Naruko pulled herself away from the screen to give him a wide–eyed look.
"You can't see it, Brother?" she asked in turn with a surprised look, as she believed her older brother to all was know what to do and had all information, he was the strongest and the best.

"See what…?" Naruto looked at the TV screen. "I don't see anything."
"Oh… Never mind then. Don't worry about it," Naruko smiled, before she turned her gaze back to the TV again. Her long eyelashes, as Naruto looked at his younger sister's profile, made her appear somewhat forlorn to him. This made him think of consulting Shion as she might be seeing more than him, as much as he disliked not relying on others this was not his field of expertise.

She probably got the fever then was what he decided to go with as he had no time, Naruto realized now. If he had checked her forehead that time and had allowed her to rest, her cold might have been easily prevented right from the start. Naruko had been looking forward to this mission just as much as he was…
