Let's get things started. Chapter 1 of, say... 145? No, just kidding. More like 30. I'll mush some of the measures together. But for now, the estimate is anywhere from 30 to 145. Whatever. Story starts focusing on our heroes from the Glassworks Kingdom. Disclaimer: I only own the story itself. The characters are from Hidenori Kusaka (not me), adapted from games created by Satoshi Tajiri (also not me). The games are licensed by GameFreak, an awesome company I have no association with. Also, even though no Pokemon will appear in the story itself, I'll just say that I don't own any of the Pokemon referenced, if any. With that out of the way, I give you Chapter 1 of Pulsar!


Tonight was a night known by all in the Glassworks Kingdom; it was the night of their annual ball celebrating the kingdom's success, honoring the sand and flames that shaped the very glass of this kingdom. Everyone, from the aristocrats in their mansions to the peasants on the streets, attended this ball. On its route to the ball, an old-fashioned car bounced along the cobblestone road. Four guests, their names Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow, waited excitedly to arrive. The four had been friends for many years, even since they were young children.

.oOo. Fifteen-ish Years Ago .oOo.

Their story begins in the grassy plain near the home of Yellow, where they had first crossed paths. It was a breezy summer day. The eldest of the group, Blue, had just turned seven not long ago, and was now going around examining the flowers. Green sat underneath a tree, busy reading a book. His soon-to-be friend Red was standing by a stream, investigating its source. Yellow merely sat in a tree, watching everything from afar.

All four of them were oblivious to the actions of each other. They merely carried on with their business, until a loud sound came from across the stream. A person, dressed in dark clothes and carrying a sack on his back, came sprinting in their direction.

"Stop, thief!" The shout caught the attention of the kids, prompting them to try and do something about the theft. Red acted as the first line of defense in stopping the thief, while Green put down his book and joined him. Blue ran away to find an adult, seeing as they were no older than seven, while Yellow still sat in the tree.

"Outta my way, kid," the thief said, trying to get past Red. But the red-eyed boy grabbed onto his leg in an effort to stop him.

"I said to get outta my way!" Roughly, he kicked Red several times before being freed from his grasp. Now it was Green's turn.

Taking a higher route, Green jumped up onto the thief's back, trying to knock him to the ground. He managed to cause the man to stumble, but did not completely stop him. The sack he was was holding, however, was knocked out of his grasp and fell to the ground, revealing several pieces of jewelry. Infuriated by his spoils being scattered, the man attempted to knock Green off his back. But, before he could do anything, he was nailed in the forehead with a small, hard projectile.

"Wonder what that was," Green mumbled as the man fell unconscious to the ground. He noticed Yellow jumping down from the tree she'd been hiding in, a slingshot in her hand.

Red, who was finally standing up from his blow, did not see the girl that was Yellow. He instead saw a boy, not much younger than he was, with a slingshot that he was stuffing into a rough leather bag slung across his right shoulder, and a bit of blond hair peeking out from under his wool hat.

Finally, Blue returned with the first adult she managed to find. He was a relatively short man, who was taking deep breaths as he tried to keep up with the girl.

"Ah, so I see you've already taken care of this guy," the man said. He inspected the thief, seeing that he was unconscious. Nodding to the kids, he dragged the man away.

The four of them stayed there a moment later. They stood around in silence, not knowing what to say or do.

"That was pretty brave of you guys to fight that guy," Blue said to Red, Green, and Yellow. "I'm Blue. What're your names?"

"I'm Red," the red-eyed boy said, smiling. One of his front teeth had come out, its permanent version having only come in partially.

"I'm Green," the spike-haired boy said, showing no clear emotion.

"...I'm Yellow..." Staring shyly at the ground, Yellow spoke her name.

And thus began a friendship that has lasted until today, and has grown stronger over the years.

Over time, things had become thing more complicated. In school, due to the age differences, they were always in separate classes. And they had all different interests. Yellow had a love for drawing; Red liked sports; Blue enjoyed the thought of living in luxury; Green was a shut-in who sat in the corned and read a book. So there were times when they would fight. And there were also times when things in the world, things they couldn't control, would come up. But if they could, they'd still try and meet up.

.oOo. Present Time .oOo.

Right now, the four friends were en route to the Glassworks palace, the location of the ball. Green was the one driving the car they'd rented, a small black vehicle that could fit four passengers, five if you really wanted to. He wore a black suit, with a clean white shirt and a forest green tie, one that matched his eyes. In the passenger seat was Red, who wore a suit that was the darkest shade of grey before black, pinstriped with a pale, almost white, grey, and a red shirt the color of blood [A/N: If you watch Soul Eater, just imagine the outfit that soul wears in the demon dreams.] In the back seat were Blue and Yellow, who chatted with each other and at times Red. Blue was dressed in a sparkling ocean blue strapless dress that reached down to about her knees. She wore silvery heels that wrapped themselves around her calves. On the contrary, Yellow was dressed in a simple golden-colored dress decorated with sunflowers, and a pair of black flats.

At the moment, they were discussing what they were going do at the ball. Mostly they planned to dance and catch up with their other friends. Secretly, Blue had planned to try and get Yellow to confess how she felt about Red. It was something pretty obvious, actually. The only reason that Red didn't notice was due to the fact that he was blind to how Yellow acted around him.

But pairing up her friends was not the only thing on Blue's mind. She also was looking forward to impressing king, Giovanni. One of her dreams in life was to become royalty. But seeing as the queen was yet to have a son, she could settle for something close; a position of importance in the kingdom. She possessed many skills in negotiation and sales, and could manage foreign transactions quite well, making the kingdom quite a bit of money. But all that would have to wait; she was still young, and had many years ahead of her. She would enjoy tonight, and spend it with her friends.


Did that ending seem a little crappy to you? 'Cause it did to me. I just don't know how else to end it. Also, did I forget to mention that this takes place in a future version of Earth? And this part of the story takes place in alternate Europe. I guess a couple of different fictional lands could all exist on that alternate Earth. Minecraft could be Asia (The Eural Mountains would have to be turned into a body of water, though), and Mobius North America, a bunch of other stuff. But that's for another time. So... did you like it? Honestly, I'm not sure what people will think of this, but please be kind. And I hope you enjoyed reading this. Chapter 2, not sure want exactly to put in that, but I've got a pretty solid outline. PKQ is outta here!
