Well, its certainly been a long time since I've written anything(not school related), let alone anything for this site. And considering what I did put on this site, a Pokémon/Ed, Edd n Eddy crossover does seem like something out of left field. Well, the story behind that is as follows. One day whilst looking around the internet I came across a piece of artwork that showed the Eds with the Hoenn starters. Intrigued by the idea, I came to this site to see if there were any crossovers. The only one I found that had gotten beyond a handful of chapters was Insane Dominator's Edventures in Kalos. I read the story and enjoyed it. While reading it, I got the idea to try writing such a story myself. I couldn't shake the idea so I gave it a go. And this is what resulted. I have to admit, I'm not a particularly good writer and my grammar is horrible. But hopefully as I go along there will be improvement.

Just to explain one thing about this story. I've tried to do something a bit more original with this story. That being that this story will feature a region that I have created. I have to admit I've never done anything like this before so this might not end well. But I shall try to persevere. That being said, I'd also like to say that I fakémon will not be in this story. Creating a region is enough as it is. All pokémon encountered in this story will be real pokémon, generations I through VII, though gen VII pokémon will be a bit light on the ground.

Now with all of that out of the way, sit back and enjoy the story and hopefully I'll actually be able to finish this story.

Peach Creek was typical of any suburb. It had schools, stores serving the various needs of its residents, all of the wholesome jobs that those residents spend most of their days at, and Cul-de-Sacs. One Cul-de-Sac in particular was well known throughout Peach Creek. The Cul-de-Sac on Rethink Avenue. It was not well known for any special geographic feature, historic significance to Peach Creek as a whole, a famous resident, or for anything good. It was known for being one of the most damaged or destroyed areas in all of Peach Creek. Over the past few years, there had been five times as many incidents of damage to private and public property than any other part of Peach Creek. It fact, the entire Cul-de-Sac had nearly been completely destroyed twice. There had been the flood, which still defied any explanation as to how it occurred, and when as of yet unidentified vandals practically razed most of the houses there. There had been a few attempts on the part of the town officials to discover the reason why all of this was happening, but the conclusions that they had come to were vague and inconclusive at best. Which was probably for the best, considering that the fact that the primary instigators of this was a trio of boys they probably won't have believed it anyway.

The trio in question was currently making their way back to the Cul-de-Sac; battered, bruised, and soaking wet. There names were Ed, Edd(also known as Double D), and Eddy, though a lot of the time they were simply referred to as the Eds. The leader of the trio was Eddy. He was short, a loudmouth, greedy, and constantly scheming to scam people out of their hard earned money. Double D was the brains of the group. He was highly intelligent, conscientious, and is a bit of a soft touch. The final member of the trio was Ed. If anything, he was the group muscle. He was also none to bright, spending most of his waking hours in a land all his own that was only barely connected to reality. The three had just come from one of their failed schemes and were making their way to Eddy's house to clean themselves up a bit.

"Well boys, that wasn't so bad," Eddy said, in an unusual good mood after a failed scam.

"Oh really," said Double D as he wrung a large amount of water out of his shirt. "How do you come to that questionable conclusion?"

"Well think about it," Eddy continued, himself wringing water out of his own clothes. "This is one of the few times that we didn't get pummeled after a scam."

"Only because we fell down that waterfall," Double D replied, "again."

"It was to laugh," commented Ed absently.

"Details, details," Eddy said, making swatting away motions for added effect. The trio turned into an ally that ran behind a row of houses. Along the fence there was a gate that led into Eddy's backyard. In the past the trio had used the gate for great effect on the numerous occasions that they needed a quick escape to or from Eddy's house. Eddy opened the gate and stepped into his backyard. "Lets just get..." He stopped short. Double D, not expecting the sudden halt, walked right into Eddy. He was quickly followed by Ed who slammed into the two, resulting in the three falling to the ground in a heap.

"Ed, please get off me," Double D asked, his voice muffled as his face was pushed into the back of Eddy's head.

"Sure can do Double D," Ed said as he jumped up off of Eddy and Double D. He then grabbed both Eddy and Double D, lifted them up in the air, and snapped the two out like a sheet. He then placed the his slightly dazed friends back on the ground.

"Thank you, Ed," Double D said as he messaged his temples in an attempt to stave off an oncoming headache. He turned to Eddy, "Is there something wrong Eddy?" He asked.

Eddy, whose face had gone red, pointed to his door and nearly screamed, "Someone's broke into my room!" Ed and Double D looked to were Eddy was pointing and saw that the room to his door was hanging open. The bottom of the door had a large dent in it, as if something heavy had crashed into it.

"What an interesting development," Double D remarked as he rubbed his chin. "Why would anyone want to break into your room Eddy?"

"Oh, oh, I know!" Ed said as he pulled a comic book out of his jacket. It was an issue of Shocking Fantasy and its cover featured a group of semi-visible, humanoid monsters bursting from a closet. He showed it to Double D and Eddy. "I bet it was the Invisible Closet Monsters of the 13th Dimension! Its come to steal your sweaters in a desperate attempt to prevent the extinction of its species after their war with Mole-cows from Era-5!"

"I think not Ed," Double D sighed. He turned to Eddy. "Might I suggest that you simply…."

"I bet it's Kevin!" Eddy seethed. "That shovel chin, he must be after my magazines again."

Double D gave Eddy an incredulous look. "What, did you actually find those?"

"No," Eddy growled, still glaring at his open door. "I got more, but that's not important right now." Eddy began to creep up to his house, gesturing for Ed and Double D to follow him. "Come on, we might be able to catch him in the act." Double D sighed but followed behind Eddy with Ed bring up the rear. The three moved as quietly as possible, making sure to stay out of line of sight with the open door. Eventually, they reached the door and piled up against the side of the door frame. "Alright boys, when I count to three we charge in."

"Do we have to Eddy?" Double D asked, actually started to sweat a little. "You know how much I hate physical altercation."

"Three!" Eddy shouted as he jumped around the door frame into the room. "AHA!" He shouted pointing an accusatory finger…..into an empty room. He stood there for a moment, the triumphant look on his face quickly turning to one of confusion. Behind him, Double D and Ed stepped into the room.

"There's no one here Eddy," Double D said as he looked around the room. "It doesn't look like anyone who shouldn't have been here as been in here. Are you sure you didn't just forget to close your door this morning?"

"No, Sock-head, I didn't." Eddy growled. "Kevin's been here, I just know it!" Eddy looked around the room again. Seeing nothing, he ran out of his room and went further into his house with Double D following behind him. "Old shovel chin must have gone out the front." Running through his house, he came to the front door and threw it open. Charging out onto his front lawn, he looked around searching for any sign of Kevin. Again, he saw nothing. "Drat," he snarled as he turned back and went back into his house. "He got away, but I'll get him for this."

"Eddy, calm down!" Double D pleaded as he caught up to Eddy. "You don't even know that some unknown individual was even in your room!"

"Yes there was!" Eddy nearly shouted. "And I didn't just leave my door open. I never do that. Heck, even you saw the door! It looks like someone kicked it in!"

"True," Double D conceded. "That does strongly suggest that someone did make an unauthorized entry into your room."

"I think it does more than just 'strongly suggest' Double D," Eddy growled.

"Be that as it may," Double D continued, "you still don't have any way of proving that that unknown individual was Kevin."

"Well who else could it be?" Eddy asked.

"Come now, Eddy," Double D sighed. "Ed, yourself, and myself are hardly the most popular people in the Cul-de-Sac. Just about anyone could have done it."

"Hm," Eddy sighed as he thought about that. "I suppose you're right," he grudgingly admitted. "But I still think..." He was interrupted before he finished.

"Hey Eddy!" Ed's excited came from Eddy's room. "When did you get a mutant frog?"

"Mutant frog?" Eddy shouted back in confusion. "I haven't got a mutant frog!"

"Yes you do!" Ed shouted back. "It's right here on your bed!"

Eddy and Double D looked at each other in confusion. "I think we'd better investigate this turn of events," Double D said apprehensively. They found Ed standing over Eddy's bed looking wide-eyed at something sitting on the pillow. The creature had greenish-blue skin with spots that were a darker green color. It had two ears, but they had no hollows. The strangest thing, however, was that it had a large, dark green bulb growing out of its back. The three boys stared at the sleeping creature with a mixture of awe and confusion.

"What the heck is that thing?" Eddy asked.

"Oh, I know," Ed said as he reached into his jacket and pulled out a comic book. "It's one of the mutant tulips from Plant X/2, come to Earth to conquer mankind with its tulip controlling powers!"

Doubled D sighed in exasperation. "Hardly, Ed. Allow me to examine this unknown animal in more detail." He pulled a magnifying glass out of his pocket and bent over the sleeping creature. "It's looks like a toad, but no toad I've ever seen. And this bulb! Its physically attached to its back! Its not some kind of parasitical relationship. Its actually part of the creature!"

"So," Eddy interrupted. "What is it?"

Double D looked up from his observations and shrugged. "I have no idea."

"I still think its a mutant tulip," Ed said as he bent back down over the creature. "I've always wanted a mutant of my own." He looked back up at them, eyes bright with hope. "Can I keep him as a pet guys?"

"I don't know Ed," Double D said as he rubbed his chin. "As I said, I have no idea what it even is. It could be dangerous. Besides, I think the responsibility of owning a pet might be a bit much for you Ed."

The hope fled from Ed's eyes to be replaced with despair and tears. He immediately threw himself at Double D's feet and grabbed a hold of his legs. "Please Double D, let me keep it!" He sobbed. "I've always wanted a mutant of my very own!"

"Forget about what it is!" Eddy shouted over Ed's sobs. "What's it doing in my room?!"

"I don't know," Double D said as he tried to extricate himself from Ed's teary embrace. "It could be what broke down your door. Perhaps it was hungry or looking for a safe place to sleep?"

"Bulba?" The three eds turned to the bed. The strange creature was awake and looking at them with bright, big, red eyes. It cocked his head and turned itself to look at all three of them at once. Then to the astonishment of the three eds, two green vines come out the base of the bulb to hang in midair between itself and the three boys. "Bulbasaur?" it said. There was a moment of silence and the three eds stared in surprised silence.

"What the..." Eddy muttered.

"It talks?" Double D said, his eyes going wide in excitement at this discovery. He was then knocked off his feet as Ed, his wet eyed despair completely forgotten, jumped from Double D's feet to kneel a the edge of the bed. He looked at the creature with a look of mindless glee. The creature, unsure of what to make of this event, stepped back as the vines moved to position themselves between itself and Ed.

Ed, with his absent minded smile, reached his hand out to the creature. "Hello, little fella," he said. "My name is Ed." The creature looked at Ed uncertainly for a moment. Then it smiled and placed the tip of one of its vines in his hand.

"Bulbasaur," it said, this time with a happy note.

"It likes me!" Ed shouted in glee. He then picked the creature up and started to hug it tightly. The creature was taken by surprise by this action, but quickly realized the friendly intent of the action. In response, the creature's vines wrapped around Ed and apparently returned Ed's hug.

"It looks like Ed's made a new friend." Double D said dryly. Before Eddy could reply, a loud crash came from Eddy's bathroom.

"SQUIRTLE!"

Eddy and Double D turned to the closed bathroom door. "What was that!?" Eddy shouted. He ran to the bathroom door and threw the door open. Immediately, he was blasted off his feet and across the room by what appeared to be a high pressure stream of water. He crashed against the wall and slid to the floor with a loud groan of pain. Double D stepped up to the door, making sure to keep out of the line of sight of anyone looking through the door. Cautiously he poked his head around the door and looked into the bathroom. Towels and various personal cleaning and health products were scattered across the room while the door of the shower was laying on the floor with a large crack in the middle of it. Sitting in the middle of this mess was what appeared to be a very large turtle. Strangely, this turtle was sitting upright, not on its belly like any other turtle that he was familiar with. It had a large shell that was brown on top, a pale yellow on the bottom, and a white ridge between the two halves of the shell. Sticking out of the shell were two arms, two legs, a tail, and a head all of the small light blue shade of color. It had a pair of large brown eyes that looked at Double D with bright curiosity. It smiled and clapped its two small hands. "Squirtle squirt!" It said cheerfully.

Double D carefully stepped into the bathroom and slowly approached the large turtle. He knelt in front of the turtle, uncertain of what to do. Then, remembering Ed's recent success, decided to do the same thing. He held out his hand. "Hello, my name is Edward. It is very nice to meet you."

"Squirtle!" It said happily and jumped into his arms. Double D, taken by surprise, nearly dropped the turtle, but managed to catch the thing before it hit the floor. The grip was awkward and the turtle was heavy, but he managed to hold the thing.

Back in the room proper, Eddy had regain his senses and got back to his feet. He was starting to brush some of the water off himself when Double D came back into the room. "What do you think you're doing with that thing!?" He shouted, seeing that Double D was carrying the turtle that had just blasted him off his feet. "That thing's a monster! Get rid of it!"

"Squirtle!" The turtle screamed and buried its head in Double D's chest.

"Oh, hush now Eddy," Double D said as he tried to comfort the turtle. "He's not a monster at all. I think you just startled him is all." Double D looked down at the turtle he was hold. He then turned to look at Ed, who was practically prancing around the room with the strange frog-like creature. "You know Eddy," he said with a thoughtful look on his face, "I think this turtle and the frog might actually be babies, or at least very young."

"I don't care how old they are," Eddy said angrily. "All I know is that these things broke into my room! And I want them out!"

"Charmander?" Eddy and Double D turned to the new sound. Unnoticed by any of them, a third creature had been in the room, apparently hiding in one of the corners. It looked like some sort of lizard. It stood upright on two legs, had two short arms, and a tail that had a flame burning on the end of it. It was a bright, red-orange color with a cream colored underbelly. It stared up at Eddy with bright blue eyes as it walked towards him. It stopped at his feet and looked up at him. "Char, Char, Charmander, Char." It said in what was clearly a stoic tone.

Eddy looked down at it in confusion. He was still angry about the fact that these things had broken into his house. In fact, angry was a bit of an understatement. Blood boiling furious was a more appropriate description. If anything, he should throw the things out had be done with it. If Ed or Double D wanted to look after the things then that was there business. But as he looked down at the thing, he could feel himself soften, at least a little bit. He bent down and awkwardly patted the thing on the head.

"Hey there," He said, a bit lamely. "I'm Eddy."

The lizard thing nodded its head solemnly. "Char, Char."

Eddy stared down at the flame tailed lizard for a moment before returning his attention to Double D. "Double D, your the smart guy, what are these things?"

"I must confess as to being completely clueless Eddy," Double D admitted mournfully as he gently placed the turtle thing on the floor. "I've never seen anything like these things before. They look like no animal I've ever seen. That's without regarding the fact that some of the traits of these things should be physically impossible."

"Oh, come on!" Eddy said exasperatedly. "You're the smart guy! You're supposed to know this stuff! Surly you've got something on these things in all of those books you've got?"

Double D thought for a moment. "I don't now. I might, I'd have to look."

"So then lets go to your house," Eddy said and walked towards the door with the flaming tail lizard following behind him. "Shake a leg fellas! We've gotta get there before everyone gets back."

"Right behind yea, Eddy!" Ed said following behind Eddy with the frog-plant thing riding along on the top of his head.

"Very well then." Double D sighed. He pick up the turtle and followed after his friends. "Wait up fellows!"

Fortunately for the trio, the Cul-de-Sac was deserted. Not necessary that if the other kids had been there would have been a problem. Many of the trio's scams had gone horribly wrong before, resulting in the trio having to lay low for long periods of time. As such, they had a lot of experience in moving about the Cul-de-Sac without being seen. But as none of the other kids were around and that Double D's house was only across the street, the three did not think that their sneaking skills were necessary. So they just casually left Eddy's house and made there way to Double D's house. They had just crossed the street and were coming up to Double D's house when…

"Hello! You there!" The three turned, expecting to see a group of angry kids charging at them. Instead, they saw a man striding towards them. He was tall, or at least taller than any adult they'd ever met. He wore an unbuttoned, white lab coat that bellowed behind him as he walked. Under it, he wore a dark blue dress shirt with a red tie and a pair of tan khakis. He had short cut brown hair, bright blue eyes, and a big goofy grin across his face. "I can't thank you gentlemen enough!" He said excitedly as he grabbed their hands and shook them. "You see, these let fellas only hatched about a week ago," he said as he gestured to the strange creatures. "They're babies! I was so worried when I lost these guys. They've an adventurous bunch and are always getting into trouble." He gave them a worried look. "I hope they haven't caused too much trouble. Like I said, they're babies. They haven't quite managed to get a handle on their strengths and abilities. They don't mean to cause trouble but they can lose control or get carried away. If they've caused any damage I'll gladly compensate you for..."

"Excuse me sir," Double D interrupted. "I don't mean to be rude, but who are you?"

The man laughed. "Oh, excuse me, where are my manners." He smiled broadly and even stuck a pose. "I am Anthony Hornbeam, Pokémon Professor extraordinaire!" The Eds were silent for a moment.

"Pokémon?" Double D asked.

"Professor?" asked Ed.

"Never heard of you," Eddy said.

Pro. Hornbeam smiled. "Of course you haven't! That's why I'm even here in the first place. You see, as a Pokémon Professor I specialize in introducing people to the world of Pokémon!"

"Is that what these are professor?" Double D asked as he held out the turtle. "A Pokémon?"

"Why yes my young friend, he is!" Pro. Hornbeam said. "May we take this conversation inside? I do have a lot to explain."

"Yes we can professor." Double D said. He gestured at his house. "This is where I live so if you'll be step this way." The Eds and Professor Hornbeam entered Double D's house and gathered in the living room. The Eds with the creatures took a seat while Professor Hornbeam stood in front of them.

"The creatures that you have a Pokémon," Professor Hornbeam said. He pointed to the frog thing still riding on Ed's head. "This one is called Bulbasaur." He then pointed to the turtle that Double D was holding. "This one is called Squirtle." He then pointed to the lizard that was sitting at Eddy's feet. "This is called Charmander. Now Pokémon are mysterious creatures that inhabit most parts of the world. However, there are places where, for reasons that we don't understand, have no Pokémon at all. Like this area, for example. Now, my job is to go to the areas to these areas and bring these people into the world of Pokémon. As I said, Pokémon are mysterious creatures and they have abilities and powers that we don't understand. For example, Charmander can control fire." The Charmander lifted its head, opened its mouth, and a small jet of flame came out of its mouth.

"Don't set my house on fire!" Double D screamed in alarm.

Professor Hornbeam held up his hands. "Don't worry, everything's under control. As I was saying, we humans live side-by-side with Pokémon and we complement each other. Many people keep them as pets. Others use Pokémon to help them in everyday tasks like farming or transportation. However, the popular activity that people use Pokémon for is Pokémon battling."

Eddy, who hadn't been paying all that much attention, perked up. "Pokémon battling? What like a sport or something?"

"Yes, sort of." Professor Hornbeam said. "Pokémon trainers will caught and train Pokémon for Pokémon Battling. Pokémon Battling is just as it sounds. Two trainers will get together and have their Pokémon battle each other. The battle will go on until all of the Pokémon of one trainer have fainted and the other trainer has Pokémon still able to battle."

"Does the winner get anything?" Eddy asked.

"Yes," Professor Hornbeam said. "Sometimes the losing trainer will give the winner an item of some sort. For example, most regions have gyms. At these gyms, trainers will test their skills and Pokémon against a Gym Leader, who is usually a very experienced Pokémon trainer. Beating a Gym leader gets you a gym badge, a symbol proving that you have beaten the gym. If you collect eight gym badges, you may enter that region's Pokémon League, which is essentially a tournament of Pokémon Trainers."

"What about money?" Eddy interrupted.

"Why, yes," Professor Hornbeam said, a little surprised. "Most trainers will give small amounts of money to another trainer that beats them in a Pokémon Battle. Gym Leaders will award slightly larger amounts of money to trainers who beat them along with that gym's badge. Then there are the Pokémon Leagues, which normally have a modest cash prize awarded to the winner. I do have to stress that all of these are fairly small amounts. They would usually be enough to finance a fairly successful Pokémon trainer's journey but nothing to get rich off of. Even then, money really shouldn't be a motivating factor for..."

"I'm in!" Eddy shouted. "Where do I sign up?"

Professor Hornbeam smiled. "Alright, but first we'd have to ask your parents…."

"Wait!" Ed interrupted, the withered husk that passed as Ed's brain finally comprehending what Professor Hornbeam just said. "So we'd get monsters and fight other monsters with them?"

"Well, yes," Professor Hornbeam said. "But I'd hardly call Pokémon monsters…."

"I wanna do it too!" Ed cried out. "I wanna be a monster battler!"

"Excellent!" Professor Hornbeam smiled, clapping his hands together. He turned to Double D. "Would you like to join your friends?"

Double D thought for a moment, then nodded. "Why not. It seems like an interesting endeavor. Besides, these Pokémon seem to be very interesting to me. I look forward to having the chance to study them in greater detail."

"Wonderful," Professor Hornbeam cried. "Simply wonderful. Now, we must get your parent's permission first as considering you'd be traveling to my home region of Dentor!" As it turned out, this was not difficult at all. Double D's parents, communicating through sticky notes, approved. In fact, as Double D pointed out, they seemed very happy that Double D wanted to go on such a venture. Ed's parent's also agreed, or at least his mother did. His father did not respond to the questioning of Professor Hornbeam at all. He just sat in a chair, watched T.V., and continually said "Not now. I just got home from work." Eddy's parent enthusiastically approved. However, it seemed that this enthusiasm came less from thinking the journey was good for Eddy, and more from the prospect of him being away for awhile.

"Wonderful! Simply wonderful!" Professor Hornbeam exclaimed as they left Eddy's house. "Right now fellas, I'll be around tomorrow morning to take you to the airport. I'll see you off there and it'll be straight off to the Alton Region for you. You'll arrive at Cansport Town where my sister, Maria Hornbeam, will be there to greet you. She'll give you certain items that we give every trainer who starts there Pokémon journey in the Dentor Region. After that, she'll probably give you a few pointers and then you'll be all set. So you'll have tonight to pack and I'll see you tomorrow!" He turned to leave, but then immediately turned back to the Eds. "Dear me, I almost forgot!" He pulled three red and white balls to the Eds. "Did I mention that I'll be giving you starters?"

"Starters?" Double D asked.

"Yes," replied Professor Hornbeam, "as in starter Pokémon. As a Pokémon Professor, one of my duties is to give new trainers their first Pokémon, which is referred to as a starter Pokémon." At this, a concerned look across Professor Hornbeam's face. "Would I be unduly presumptuous if I were to assume that wish to have the three that you found for your starter Pokémon?"

"What?" Eddy asked as he looked down at Charmander which had been following him. "Are these starters?"

"Yes they are," Hornbeam answered. "In fact, they're fairly common. They are not the only starters I give out. In fact, including these guys I offer a choice of twenty-one different starter Pokémon. Normally I would allow trainers to pick from those twenty-one, however, these three are the only ones who are ready to be given away. If you wish, we could wait until the others are ready and let you pick from them."

"No way Jose," Ed said as he took the Bulbasaur and gave it a tight hug. "The plant-frog mutant Bulbasaur is good enough for Ed!"

"Bulba, bulba!" The Bulbasaur cried in agreement.

"I concur with Ed's sentiments," Double D said as he patted the Squirtle on the head. "This Squirtle and I will make a great team."

"Why not?" Eddy said. "Lets get this show on the road!"

"Then that's all set then." He handed the Eds three red and white metal spheres. "These are Poké Balls. When you're not using your Pokémon you can store them in here. To activate them, just press the middle button. To release a Pokémon, simply throw the ball and shout 'go Charmander' or something to that effect and the Pokémon will be released. To return a Pokémon, point the ball at the Pokémon and say 'Charmander return' or something to that effect. Go ahead and try it now." The three Eds did and the Pokémon were returned to their Poké Balls. "Now, I am going to have to ask you to keep them stored for now, at least until you get to the Dentor Region. They're still young and do need a fair bit of rest." He then walked away from the Eds once more. "See you tomorrow fellas!"

That night was filled with expectation and excitement for the Eds. They couldn't help but eager to get their adventure started in the Dentor Region. They spent a lot of the night packing, though Ed and Eddy's method of shoving clothes into a backpack could hardly count as packing. Double D had pack with his usual care and methodical precision. He spent the rest of the night on his computer, researching all he could on Pokémon. Eddy spent the rest of the night imagining how much money he was bound to make during this adventure. Ed spent his night fondly imagining monsters, the monsters he'd catch, and the monsters he'd fight. For all three, it was a long night.

But tomorrow, their Pokémon Ed-Venture would begin.

Next time on Pokémon, The ED-Ventures: The Eds arrive in Dentor and have their first outing as Pokémon Trainers.
