Chapter 1: Unexpected Experiment

Well, how did it start?

Oh right, introductions first. Sorry about that.

My name is Elin Ray, I'm 16 and I WAS pretty tall with black hair and blue eyes, and that's all you need to know.

If your still interested in mine, and a lot of good peoples stories, then please read on.

It happened at 10:08 pm on a Saturday night in June...can't remember the specific date. I had just finished grinding on Omega Ruby and was ready to turn in for the night.

'Thank god its Sunday tomorrow.' I thought as I closed my 3DS and turned off my light before wrapping myself in my covers. 'Think I'll play Smash Bros, I can finish off that homework Monday morning...'

My descent into subconscious ponderings was interrupted by a tapping noise that made me flinch, noises at night always have that effect on you, your brain starts to panic and think that a burglars trying to break into your house or something.

I cautiously opened an eye, only to see a small blue light from my 3DS. Puzzled, I sat up. I thought I had turned it off, or, did I just forget to turn it off and thought I did? Nevertheless, I picked it up and opened it to click the power button, and I saw something I did not expect.

Both screens were black, save for a Rotom on the top one, waving its electrical arms around frantically with its traditional grin on its face.

'What is this? A special message or something?' I thought.

Just then, a text box popped up on the upper screen, simply saying 'Hello!'.

'...Okay.'

The text box closed and opened again, now reading 'What's your name?' before the keyboard appeared on the touch screen. Of course, this was kinda weird, was this a special announcement or fan questionnaire or something? And why so late at night? I get Japan's timezone is different but...finally, I decided to just play it out.

I typed in my name and entered it, there was a pause before a new text box popped up reading 'Elin? Nice to meet you! My name is Rotom!' Then another box replaced it: 'I'm doing an experiment right now, and I'm looking for humans to try it out on! Can you help me?'

It seemed pretty harmless at the time, so I typed in 'Sure' and sent it. The Rotom then started jumping up and down happily before another box appeared: 'Thank you! I want you to know this will be perfectly harmless and you won't regret it! Just make sure not to switch this device off, okay?' And so the Rotom vanished in a small blip.

'Let's see what this is, then.' I leaned back on my bed and waited patiently for any other type of response, until I saw a little blue circle on the top screen.

I stared at the circle as several more appeared around it, and a small bright light appeared in the centre of them.

'Sooooo...is this-' Suddenly the light burst into a bright flash, and I may not know what happened in my room after that, but I'm pretty sure that I vanished, and my 3DS fell onto my bed.

Dear Arceus, its been a long time...hello again, Pokemon community! Trust me, I've been here the whole time, but now I'm writing again!

Now then, for those of you who are unaware, this is a sort of reboot of my last group Pokemon project; Pokemon Split Worlds. To be honest, I couldn't keep up with it because I accepted too many OC's...30.

So, for fans of that story, consider this a spiritual successor to Split Worlds, sorry it took so long!

Now then, again, this shall be a SYOC, and for readers of Split Worlds you'll see many characters brought over to this story. Now then, in order for me to do this CORRECT this time. I'm setting some ground rules.

1. Only the Top 10 best recieved OC's shall be accepted!

2. The OC Form must be completed to the highest level of detail! I shall NOT accept forms lasting only one sentence!

3. Make your OC unique! I don't want a swamping of dark edgy characters with depressing backstories, make them stand out! The only thing that links all OC's together is that they are humans from our world transformed into Pokemon.

Now then, onto the OC Form, it is down below:

Name: (Surname optional)

Age:

Gender:

Appearance: (As a human obviously. Include any features that get passed to them as a pokemon such as scars or any objects of clothing.)

Personality:

Likes/Dislikes:

Species: (Now, I'm being specific on this one. You can have any pokemon from Gen I to Gen VI. You have to be in first evolutionary form, however if it evolves twice you can have secondary evolutionary form e.g Dewott, Nuzleaf, Lampent e.t.c. Also, NO LEGENDARIES.)

Evolution: (Do they evolve later in the story? Mega Evolution IS allowed, but way down the line.)

Quirks: (What I mean by this is any traits they gain as a pokemon. Such as an Oshawott getting protective of their scalchop or an Eevee who likes to be petted.)

Moveset: (Four move limit does not apply, however I will say a limit of no more then ten.)

Love Interest: (Optional, details afterwards.)

Other: (Anything I've missed? Fears? Hobbies? e.t.c?)

Now I know I already said choice of pokemon bracketed in the species category. But I say this now, there can only be one pokemon, so I'm not gonna accept 10 Eevee's. It's a case of first come first serve, so I might have to PM you to, regrettably, ask you to change your choice. You can choose starters as well.

Now I shall list my own OC's that shall be reappering in this story, you'll see why in a bit. (Note: These are DELIBERATELY undetailed, YOU guys can't do this.)

Now then, about love interests. Your first option (If you choose so.) is to send in two OC's, yes, I'll allow that. Your second option is to choose a main character, they're all free, but again, it's first come first serve. Or, you can suggest the type of Pokemon you want your character to fall in love with, and I'll introduce someone later down the line.

Now then, I believe that is everything. Thank you for reading this introductory chapter and I hope to recieve some OC's soon! Thank you for reading! SORRY FOR MAKING YOU GUYS WAIT!
