Hello, and welcome to my second ever made fanfic. This fanfic is put into the first person, so I have to put in some things about hints about the way I am going to make this, to make it simpler for you and me. Normal text is just the story. Italics are things going on in the character's head. Underlined is when the character is explaining something to reader. The story can go without the underlined things, but I put them in to make it easier for people to understand how the character or others are. You'll learn as the story goes. Also note that this will be like no game or TV show you saw before, but a new pokemon story, in a place with all the leagues from Kanto to Unova

Pokemagus

Chapter One

"Vert, hurry up and get down here! You'll be late for trainer school!"
"I'm coming, I'm coming!" I scream to my sister, Mia, as I try to get my clothes on. "You can stop yelling at me about everything!" I started running for the stairs.
"Maybe if you stop being so stupid, I wouldn't have to keep calling you!"
"What?! Why I ought a..." I fall down three flights of stairs.
"See, you need to stop being stupid. Now, Scarlet is here to pick you up."
"Great, see you."
"Bye." I ran outside to meet Scarlet.
"Hey, slowpoke!"
"Hardy har har."
My name is Vert, this is what I put up with everyday. I go to a school which allows us to learn about being a trainer and about Pokemon before we even set out on a quest. I am eight years old and Scarlet here is twelve. She might not be old enough for a driver's license, but she got around that law by using a souped-up four-wheeler. Not the girliest girl around. There is one thing I am jealous about her, she is a trainer already. Why can't I be a trainer yet. I also have another friend named Orange who goes to school with me, although is a year younger than me. Today in school, everybody is getting a pokemon to take care of and when we become trainers, those pokemon will be officially ours. I can't wait.
It took a while to get to school, mainly because we were trapped behind a Pokemon Center's truck that was going remarkably slow. Once we got there, the first thing I did was find Orange. We go to separate classes so I like to talk with him as much as possible before school starts. I just couldn't find him until I heard his very familiar voice behind me.
"Yo, Vert."
"Hey Orange. So, what Pokemon do you want to get?"
"I don't know, hopefully a fire type."
"Of course you do."
"Which one do you want?"
"Something cool and unique." Just than the school bell rang. We went to our separate classes and waited to get our Pokemon. My teacher was talking about something about weaknesses or something but I was too busy thinking about what Pokemon to get to pay attention. However, it didn't look like we were going to get one, since there was only about ten minutes left of class. However, a strange old man did end up bursting into the room. I had no idea who he was, but the teacher did.
"Why hello there, Professor Oak." Everybody in the room gasped.
"Professor Oak? The world best pokemon professor? What's he doing here?" And then, he decided to talk.
"Hello, everyone. Before you ask why I'm here, let me say that I'm here to give each of you your Pokemon. Now, then, I'm sure each of you have a Pokemon that you really want, but I feel that doing it like that will teach you nothing. So, I'm making this a random go, as in each of you are getting a Pokemon at random. Now, line up to get your Pokemon." As the people lined up to get their Pokemon, I just sat there wondering how he could read my mind like that. "Oh, yeah, each of these Pokemon are newly hatched, so you'll be taking care of a Pokemon baby." People got a different variety of Pokemon from Caterpie to Vanillite, Sentret to Emolga. I was stuck at the back of the line, watching a whole variety of Pokemon go. Lapras, Gligar, Hoppip, Sirskit, Ralts, Buizel, and Woobat, until finally, it was my turn. I couldn't wait to find out what Pokemon I got. I was given the pokeball, but I didn't know how to use it. Other people knew how to use them because their parents had Pokemon and told their children how to use them. I wasn't so lucky. In fact, my parents are missing. They loved to explore places in order to learn about how people lived with Pokemon in the past. One day they found some ruins to explore and never came back. I was only two when this happened. Professor Oak was generous enough to teach me how to use it and just stood there in awe of what would pop out, until I saw the Poochyena. I mean, Poochyena was a great Pokemon, but I was hoping for something more... well more. Once the bell rang, I went with Poochyena to find Orange.
"Hey, Orange!"
"I'm right behind you!"
"Oh, hey which Pokemon did you get?"
"That." Orange said as he pointed to a Cubone.
"Oh, I got a Poochyena."
"Really, well, I guess we still gotta take care of them."
"Don't say that like it's a bad thing. Look on the bright side. At least we got something."
"Good point. Well, see ya."
"See ya." I went outside to see Scarlet waiting for me.
"Hey there, nice Pokemon."
"Thanks, but I was hoping for something more unique. I mean, someone got a Zoura."
"Really. Well you know, my first Pokemon was even more common than Poochyena."
"Really, what was it?"
"A Rattata. But I took great care of it and because of that, it evolved and is now the most powerful Pokemon on my team.
"Really?"
"You bet."

Later that night

I was hanging on the hammock in my room trying to think about Scarlet and her Rattata, or Raticate. "Can a really common Pokemon really become as great as she said it did. I don't know." I looked at Poochyena, wondering what to do with it. I decided that it would be best to learn to get along with it, "After all, a great trainer takes care of all pokemon, no matter which one it is." With my decision made, I curled up and started to go to sleep. "Good night Poochyena." I still think that I heard a good night come from the room as I went to sleep.

"WAKE UP!" Mia screamed to me the moment that the sun was up, like every morning.
"But it's Saturday!"
"So, you have homework."
"What do you mean?" I said as I went down the stairs, followed by Poochyena.
"Your principal sent you an assignment yesterday." She said waving around some sort of paper.
"What, let me see." I grabbed the letter from her hand and started to read.

Dear students,
Since everyone has a Pokemon, Professor Oak and I decided to arrange a little challenge. This weekend, we would like everybody to go out and catch as many Pokemon as they can. On Monday, we will examine all the Pokemon caught by each trainer. Afterwards, Professor Oak will pick one person from each class who he believes has done the best and give them an official Pokemon license, even though you're not ten yet. Good luck.
Principal Brown
P.S. Each person has a cart of pokeballs in front of the school for themselves to use.

Right after reading the note, I rushed out the door for my pokeballs. Of course, I should have thought about that first, since I live about 38 blocks away from the school. It took a few hours, but I finally got to the school and got my pokeballs. Of course, by then, all I wanted to do was rest, but there was no time, I had to catch some Pokemon so I could get my license and get out of this school. I went to the forest, because if you want to catch pokemon, isn't this where most people go. After just a little bit of exploring, I saw a Pidgey picking at the grass.
"Okay, now how do I catch it?" I started to wonder when suddenly, a Tyrogue appeared out of nowhere and started attack the Pidgey. When the Pidgey was nearly down and out, a pokeball came out and trapped the Pidgey. I screamed, "Who's there."
"Well, hello Vert." I heard a voice say.
"I'd know that voice anywhere, Shade." Shade is what you would call my rival. He's been trying to be better than me at everything, and I hate it.
"Well, how many Pokemon have you caught? Let me guess, none."
"Oh, very funny..."
"I know, see you later, when I have my license." Shade laughed as he walked away, leaving me and Poochyena alone.
"Oh, I hate that guy." I said at the top of my lungs. At that moment, I heard a mysterious voice say, "I can see why." I looked around to figure out who said that, but no one was around.
"Hello?" I whimpered. "Anybody here?"
"I don't see anyone," The voice said, "Or hear them for that matter." I started to get an idea on who it is.
"Orange, are you using some sort of voice modulator."
"Was Orange the kid with the Cubone?" Still afraid, I figured that talking to Poochyena like normal kids talk to pets would help."
"You see Orange somewhere here, right?"
"No, do you?" Okay, now I was freaking out.
"Did you just talk?"
"I've been talking to you all day, are you saying you actually know what I'm saying?"
"Yesssss, I think that is what I'm saying."
"Well, that's just crazy."
"If you're a newborn, should you be talking like that?"
"We mature fast." I tried to calm down, because there was no way this was happening.
"Okay, I am not talking to a Pokemon, I'm just overstressed due to Shade."
"So," Poochyena supposedly said, "Are we going to beat that guy or what?"
"Okay, I'm just going crazy, that's it. I'll be sane soon."
"Hello, anybody home?"
"I'll be okay as soon as they take me away."
"Light's on, but no one's home."
"Okay, If I am crazy, I might as well enjoy it."

End of Chapter

So, what do you guys think so far? I've been taking weeks in order to get this much done, and I needed to hurry it up, so this is as much as you're getting right now. Don't worry; I will work on the next chapter sometime in the near future, so keep waiting.
By the way, have any ideas for a character, like maybe a rival for Orange or Scarlet. If you do, then feel free to put it into a review along with an actual review, cause in my first story, I got ideas for characters but no actual review. So basically, review.
