Author's Note: Hey everyone, this is my first fanfiction so hopefully you all like it. This is just the intro for the reality show, it'll be explained in more detail later on :)
Disclaimer: I don't own pokemon, only my original characters.
Goldenrod city, the Hollywood of Jhoto, if you want to be somebody, Goldenrod is the city that will make it happen. Reality tv has grabbed a hold of the nation, not unlike the rest of the world. Networks compete for ratings by trying all kinds of tv shows – some about love, money, sex, or a combination of the three, but none have yet to snatch all the ratings from the other stations.
However, one station, through many secret meetings, came up with the perfect show by mixing the nation's two favorite things – reality tv and pokemon. The result: a nation wide competition to become the nation's top pokemon master.
It starts with 18 teams of 2. They begin with only a starter pokemon from a limited selection, from there they are given a certain amount of time to go from check point to check point. If a team doesn't reach the destination in time, they're out. If all teams make it to the destination on time, the final 4 teams battle. The team that loses is eliminated. However, it's not that simple. They must catch, train and raise their pokemon as well as participate in challenges along the way. Not only do they have to deal with the competition rules, but they must also deal with nature and the other competitors. In the end, the final 6 teams will become the final 12 trainers and from there they must compete in a tournament to see who among them is the true pokemon master.
The catch is, however, the trainers believe that they're only being filmed at checkpoints and during challenges. But what good would the show be without drama? The studio's highly trained team of Murkrow, Farfetch'd, Diglett, Pidgyt, and Spinarak follow the teams to capture what goes on before and after the battles end.
