Pokemorphs Ep. 1: A World without Pokemon
The following story has nothing to do with the main characters of any of the current Pokémon TV shows.
…….
Over 500 kilometers from the very bottom of the Sinnoh Region is a lone island called the Estrin Region. It used to be connected to the other group of regions up above through ocean and airline transit but that closed down almost 200 years ago for some reason, plus, every attempt to fix was a complete failure. Foreign Pokémon almost never visited the people of Estrin; even those that can either swim or fly. The last visit from Pokémon that ever occurred was more than 105 years ago, an entire school of Remoraid and a small group of Corphish came to the seashores of the islands.
Basically, almost all the people of the Estrin were not open to believing in any Pokémon. If they ever do it's probably just their imagination or whatever.
Many of the region's elders tell stories to the little children, but to us who live very close to the real Pokémon world would know that these are obviously untrue.
…Flying golden Gyarados, Bellspouts (a common mistake for Estrin storytellers.) with the ability to breathe fire, and Pokémon with names like 'Kirtikk' or 'Magiru'…
And although they sound very weird to us, the children, especially the little ones, believe almost every Pokémon story they hear from anyone who's older than them, since they had absolutely no idea about the real thing.
…Except for a 13 year-old boy named Chris Hiroshi, whose grandfather told him that back when he was younger, a blue bird Pokémon would send him messages from his grandson in the Vermillion Region—but that was only for a few years, after that, nothing more.
Chris is no Pokémon researcher or anything like that, but he believes in his grandfather 100 percent.
But as his grandfather passed away, he may be the only person in Estrin who believes Pokémon really exist.
There could be more, there's a real possibility that he's the only non-mental human being who really, truly believes.
Don't believe me? Then read on.
