Chapter 1: Introduction

''Collin! Get off of the computer and help me with the TV,'' Collin's mother said with an angry voice.
Collin immediately was filled with a sense of dread. Somehow, whenever he was told to help with something, he would always end up with the blame. Plus, he was in the middle of coding a part of his new game, while catching up with the plot of his favorite TV show: Pokémon. He wasn't quite sure why he loved this certain anime so much, as one would think that a 15 year-old male like himself would be racking up kills on Call of Duty and ingesting ridiculous amounts of Monster Energy drinks instead of watching the newest episodes of a show generally aimed towards children. He played the games, watched the show, and even contributed to many shipping communities within the larger fanbase. He wasn't a big fan of the more mainstream video games and shows that most teens his age enjoyed. He was not very popular at school, due to his dislike of less intelligent matters that an American teenager would associate themselves with. He wasn't a very good fighter either, which didn't help him in situations involving a certain football team and a locker room. Collin got up from his comfortable office chair and looked at himself in the mirror. Collin saw the same reflection he always did: a blonde-haired, green eyed, and awkwardly tall human specimen that had quite a mind at his disposal. After making sure his appearance didn't radically change overnight, he walked out of his dim room and went to fix whatever technical issues the TV was experiencing.
After repairing the TV and being yelled at a few times by a stressed and hormonal mother, Collin returned to his well worn keyboard to finish his ''work''. He completed his new game, wrote some AmourShipping fanfics, and decided it was time to call it a night. He climbed into his horribly short bed and faded into a deep slumber, not knowing what destiny had in store for him.

Serena woke up as her alarm clock rang. ''Ugh….why did I set the alarm to go off so early?''
Serena was an average trainer trying to make her way to the Pokémon League. She had only just obtained her first Pokémon, a Fennekin. Many people considered her to be ''late to the party'', because it took her nearly 5 years to start her journey. She hadn't even beaten her first gym yet. She thought at first about defeating the famous Elite 4, then her thoughts drifted to meeting the perfect boy and starting a relationship. She daydreamed about this until she heard her mother's voice calling her to breakfast.
Serena finished her meal, and got dressed and ready to train with her Pokémon. She decided to depart from her average outfit, instead opting for a pair of blue skinny jeans, black rubber riding boots, and a comfortable gray T-Shirt. She stepped out of her front door and walked out to the open field that she used for training, unaware of the unexpected events that would be occurring very soon.
Unknown Time, Unknown Location
Collin woke up from his sleep in a strange realm that he had never place was a truly beautiful area, high in what appeared to be clouds, underneath a pale blue sky. Collin was in a temple of some sort, with outrageous architecture never seen in human societies. Collin got up from his resting place and walked toward a door, when a stunning light filled the room. Collin covered his eyes and when he brought his arm down, he saw a being he thought he would never see: Arceus, the Alpha Pokémon.
Collin didn't need the detective skills of Batman to realize that something was amiss here. Before Collin could speak, Arceus spoke in an almost ethereal voice.
''Collin, do not be afraid, I have brought you here because…I need your help.''
