NLH: OHAYO, MINNA-SAN! Here we are with my first crossover. A longtime obsession of mine, Pokemon, crossing with a recently discovered interest, Hetalia, In the chaotic battleground that is my overactive, Asperger's-driven, root beer fueled teenage mind. The result? A Poketalia story of what I hope becomes epic proportions. I'd like to thank CRUSH40RULES and Mira Everstone on Youtube for helping me shape my little brainchild in its fledgeling stages. I'm so grateful to you, I won't even nominate you for the ice bucket challenge. I also want to thank カミーチェ平熱 For the video which got me thinking of this idea, found at: /5j6YIInBooI . I'm basing many parts of the countries' teams after that video, however, certain changes will need to be made in some areas.

As you all could guess, I don't own Hetalia or Pokemon. Also, expect references to all sorts of things in here.
Anyhoozle, let's get on with the story!
(P.S., thoughts are in italics, Emphasis is on bolded words, and Author notes are bolded, underlined, italicized, and probably in parentheses.)

12 year-old Matthew lay peacefully in bed. In his arms was his first Pokemon, a Cubchoo named Kumajiro. He had received him yesterday afternoon, at the same time as Alfred, Matthew's twin brother, got his own Pokemon, a Rufflet he had named Roosevelt.

They had both been caught by their mother, who once held the position of Champion of their home region of Pangaea for 11 years, until he and Alfred had been born and she retired. She never spoke of their father, and the two boys had never thought it a good idea to ask. They were fine with just their mother anyway. Although, it was strange, once, when he and his brother were 9, when they showed Berwald, Magnus, Tino, Lukas, and Emil, the five brothers who were also all Leaders of their own Pokemon Gyms, on TV, she had gasped and dropped the jar she was holding in her hands, shattering it. "That's odd", He had thought, "But if it was important why she did that, she would have told us". His attention then was occupied by Alfred, who had been scribbling on an empty Pokeball with markers.

"Now it's in red, white, and blue! My three favorite colors!" The louder of the twins had proclaimed, as he stood on the couch so his mom and brother could see his creation. "I don't think it needed to be changed, Al" Matthew had told him. While he did think it was somewhat nice that Alfred was being creative like that, Matthew always liked the way Pokeballs already were. And though he loved red and white, he had never been much for blue. But now Alfred was on a roll, calling it the "Hero Ball" and vowing he'd be the strongest trainer in the region. When Matthew asked how he would do that, he said, "I don't know, let's find out", and attempted to drag his confused brother out the door to go on a journey then and there, despite it being 8:00 at night. Their mother had stopped them and told them that they were not ready yet. She promised them to let them go, but not until they were older.

Now, here he was. That day was just about to come. It had been their birthday only 2 days ago. They had mapped out all the tactics for their upcoming journey, gathered all supplies, and made a list of things they would do in the other cities that they could not do in their hometown of Vespuchia Village. They would take the Gym challenge together. They might even try the Contest Hall, despite the many horror stories Professor Kirkland always told them about Francis.

But for now, he was still in bed, hoping to get two or three more hours of sleep. Keyword: "hoping." Those hopes were dashed when Alfred-fully dressed and ready before hs brother, for the first time in their lives- came crashing in, and jumped onto his brother. "Time to go, Mattie!" Once this had happened, Matthew was hit with the realization that the sun was up. It was 7:30.

Two hours after Al had said he was going to drag him from his bed if he wasn't up yet.

"Thanks for letting me sleep in Al."

Matthew quickly got up and got ready. Once they were both dressed, they locked arms and went town the stairs. They would have one last meal with their mother, and then they would take their packs, see Professor Kirkland for a last-minute advisory session, and then they were off.

Poised at the foot of the stairs, the boys looked at each other. "Matt." Al said. "Savor this moment. Once we go down these stairs, that will be the first of the three Beginnings. The last time we'll see Mom for a fair amount of time. The second Beginning will be when we see the Professor. And the last Beginning, when we take our first step out of town, into the great unknown."

Matthew nodded. "Let's not savor it too long, I do eventually want to get going." Alfred laughed that ridiculos loud laugh, that only Matthew and their mother seemed able to stand. "You're right. Let's go now."

So they waited a minute, soaking up the feelings, and then, together, they began making there way downstairs, walking slow, about to go, on an adventure. (song reference! "A Thousand Miles", by Christina Perii. Bonus points if you read it to the tune))

Their journey was about to start.
