I've been wanting to do this for actual years. At one point I think I actually did, but then deleted it out of paranoia. I was less balanced back then, and I'm not especially balanced today so imagine how bad it was back then XD
The basic idea is to collect an entire pokedex of fakemon, and from them, create a new pokemon region. At the beginning of each chapter, I'll be sure to give credit to any and all of the original creators of the fakemon I use.
I may take small liberties here and there with the abilities of them or what not, but the original ideas were still there and they deserve the credit.
For the beginning, I wish to give credit to ManiacleMew, DrCrafty, and Tomatem13. It was these three who go me started on this idea with their ideas for starter pokemon. With the formalities out of the way, let's begin shall we?
Jamie didn't wake up on time to get her first pokemon.
No no, she was awake an hour early. Whether she was just really excited, very on time, or a bit too keen on coffee was unknown.
Regardless, she was up, and she left her house about ten minutes before she was even meant to be awake. She doubted her eagerness would be judged by the other two who would be getting their first pokemon today, as while on her way to the lab, she found both of them on their way as well.
Jamie had been studying for her pokemon journey through the Kiryshom Region. She'd lived her whole life in the region, but she'd never been far from her home town of Quartz.
The farthest she'd been was a trip to the nearby port town of Opal. But that was a family trip. Now she'd been traveling on her own, out in the wild.
She'd be a real pokemon trainer. Well, she wouldn't be completely alone. She'd have her friend Izzy with her, and whether it was a good or bad thing, she suspected Jackie would be along as well. All three of them reached the lab of Professor Tanzanite together.
"Excited?" Izzy asked, practically bouncing on his heels as they waited for the professor.
"Duh," Jackie said, eyes rolling, "We've all been waiting for this for, like, years."
"Can you please not aggravate, at least today?" Jamie asked hopefully, "We're getting our starters today." She said, smiling ear to ear.
Much fun as Jackie got from agitating the two of them, Jamie's smile was just a bit too infectious not to yield.
"Alright alright." She said, electing to hold off at least until they were out of the lab. They were made to wait outside for a few minutes on account of having come so early.
For perhaps the first time since meeting each other, a solid five minute period managed to pass without a single argument or hurling of aggression.
All three were preoccupied with visions of the glory they hoped to obtain, the things they hoped to see on their adventure. Soon they were brought in, and looked eagerly around the lab.
Advanced books and half finished machines were stacked side by side throughout the building. In the back room they found Professor Tanzanite standing behind a desk that had three pokeballs lined up in the center, three pokedexes across the front, and about four drained cups of coffee at the back.
Tanzanite adjusted her glasses, grinning, "Good to see everyone's ready," She said, indicating the pokedexes, "No need to play coy, get acquainted."
The three of them scrambled forwards, each taking a pokedex, "These devices will let you scan any pokemon you come across, and study information on any pokemon you'd like," Tanzanite explained, "And in fact, I think I know the first tests for you." She said, indicating the pokeballs.
Jamie, Izzy, and Jackie all grinned, raising their pokedexes to scan the pokemon through their containers.
There was a fire type, the dex showing a picture of a short, orange furred bipedal bull with small horns and along tail with a flame at the end of it.
Bullburn, the fire calv pokemon. They are often found in herds, under their parent's watch. They tend to roughhouse for play and this can turn into a brawl if the whole group gets involved.
The second was of a plant type, the dex showing a short, spring green pokemon in the basic shape of a slightly humanoid avian. They had single massive talons rather than feet, and what looked like a large seed attached to its stomach.
Canoptera, the seedling pokemon. Their eggs are laid and hatched in the nests made by their parents in the canopy of tropical forests. As they cannot yet fly, they make their way around using their strong climbing skills instead.
The last was a water type, a blue skinned amphibious quadruped with a long, thick tale that appeared to be inflated by water.
Bubbloot, the foam pokemon. This Pokemon's tail is hollow and can hold large quantities of water, as can its cheeks. It uses its tail as a club and spends most of its life near its nest around ponds.
There was no argument over who would take which pokemon, all three dead set on their decision.
Tanzanite breathed a sigh of relief at this, having braced herself to get ready to quell any arguments that brewed; as they tended to.
Jackie snatched up the Bullburn. Izzy eagerly took the Bubbloot. And Jamie, her grin practically burned onto her face at this point, took ahold of the Canoptera.
"Alrighty then," Tanzanite said with a smile, "You've got all you need from me I suppose. I hope you've enjoyed my lessons, or at the very least learned from them. Whether you intend to face gyms, explore far and wide, breed and care, participate in contests, or study pokemon like I did, I wish you the best of luck."
All three nodded politely and thanked her, Jackie taking off to get her adventure started. Izzy headed out as well, his pace a bit less manic.
Jamie lingered for a moment though, going to the professor and giving her a hug, "Thank you," She said again, "I've really liked having you to help us."
Tanzanite returned the hug after a small hesitation, "It's been a pleasure Jamie," She said, "Now go show the world what you're made of."
Jamie's grin, perhaps breaking the laws of geometry in the process, widened further, nodding before heading out after her friends. Well, friend and tolerated acquaintance.
She didn't end up having to take off as fast as she thought though, as when she got out of the lab, they were both waiting there. It didn't surprise her that Izzy had waited up, but Jackie doing so made her suspicious.
Jackie smirked, letting out her starter pokemon, "How about we test these out huh?" She said, challenging Jamie to her first ever battle.
Let me know in the reviews whether or not you want this story to be continued or if you'd prefer focus be returned to other stories. I know it's a bit of a departure from my usual content considering the lack of lemons, though who knows there could still be some later depending on how things go XD Becoming a sinfulnature1123 patron will give you a chance to actually vote on it at the end of the month when I put up a pole to decide what to focus on.
