AUTHOR'S BEGINNING NOTES
This is a story about Touhoumon, more specifically based on Touhou Puppet Play 1.8 Enhanced. Some elements are modified to make it suit more like a crossover, such as spell card rules for battles and various references (some characters are immortal, landmarks, etc.)
It would be advantageous if readers have some prior knowledge on Touhou Project (especially from Imperishable Night). Knowledge on Pokémon is not that necessary.
It is written if the point of view of a Sanae, first-person.

PROLOGUE
Kanto, present time.
In Pallet Town, there lived a renowned Pokémon Professor by the name of Oak. Professor Oak had hoped his two grandchildren, Gary and Daisy Oak, would assist him with his research, but they instead went their own paths as Trainers.
There also lived an aspiring young girl from the Laein family who lived next to the Oaks. Her name is Lanetta Lavender Laein, often nicknamed LaLaLa. Her parents are researchers who travel to other regions, so the 15-year old girl lived alone in Kanto since she was 10. Since she has nothing to do, she often stops by the Lab and helps Professor Oak with various tasks. She has one Pokémon, a Venusaur. She has not attempted the League Challenge yet (she was prohibited to because she is small and frail), so people would ask on how did she get that Venusaur. It was a parting gift from her parents.
One particular morning, Lanetta arrived to the Lab and did not receive errands as usual. Instead, Professor Oak discussed matters of the outside world, about the Touhoumon world and Bonéka. Bonéka are regarded as Pokémon in the fantasy Touhoumon world, and they take on forms of females. When Lanetta demanded the reason for that discussion, Professor Oak handed her a floating letter, which read:
Dear Professor Oak,
There is an imminent danger waiting to threaten the Pokémon world. Many interferences have happened in the fabric of time and space, and it looks like that it someday will collide with another world. I believe you know about the world of Touhoumon. I would like you to prepare for this, which I believe will most likely involve the fantasy world. I have not the time when the worlds will collide, however, I request that you prepare as soon as possible to minimize effects.
-Z
And alongside the letter, the letter envelope also contained a small piece of paper with a sentence written on it:
Esoterica "Gray Thaumaturgy" .
The Professor handed Lanetta the piece of paper and asked her to contemplate it.
That night, everyone in Kanto slept as usual. At midnight, however, flashes of lightning were seen even without any storm clouds. Then earthquakes occurred and brought the residents of Kanto into awakening, destroying many buildings in the process. Pallet Town did not shake that much, so the Lab and Lanetta's house were intact. They came out of their buildings and met a man floating on a white cloud. The man wore Japanese outfit and carried a purification rod. The man spoke in a foreign language which Professor Oak seemed to understand.
Profesor, kejadian yang tertulis di surat sudah terjadi. Sebagai penjaga dunia Touhoumon aku memerlukan bantuanmu untuk menyelesaikan masalah ini. Kedua dunia sedang dalam kondisi labil dan satu-satunya cara untuk mengembalikannya adalah bila seseorang berhasil pergi ke dunia Genso dan meminta petunjuk pada dewa di sana. Untuk pergi ke dunia Genso diperlukan seorang anak muda yang dapat membuktikan kemampuannya mengendalikan makhluk lain.
The Professor then made a request to Lanetta; to embark on a journey at this time and tame Pokémon until she can beat the two Leagues in their reach, Kanto and Johto League. Professor Oak believed that if she can bear the two of them, the gods in Genso will consider her entry. The land of Genso is filled with gods and high-ranking fantasy animals from various myths. Upon hearing the request, Lanetta accepted it without questions. It had been her dream to go on an adventure since five years ago.
The following morning, Lanetta started her journey and went into the grass of Route 1, only to find that no Pokémon can be found...
Meanwhile, in the trees near Pallet Town, the man on cloud was speaking to a girl with green hair and blue-white outfit.
Sanae, tolong awasi anak muda yang dikirim Profesor itu.
Baik, Yang Mulia.
At the end of Route 1, a mysterious flash appeared, and a small girl in white and blue lied on the grass, surrounded by a white star.
A/N The Touhou residents should speak in Japanese, but I can't. So I made them speak Bahasa Indonesia instead. LOL.
Comments, anything - throw them at me! We will see what can I do about them. Next chapter coming this week!
