My life was really bad.
I had no friends, not even an enemy or someone to dislike me.
Teachers barely knew I was on their classroom, and they decided to ignore me since my grades were pretty bad as well.
I didn't get any girl to be my friend since I am not what you would call a 'girly' type of.. Well... Girl.
My usually dark clothes and asymmetrical, curly, dark red hair would make people look at me and think stuff such as 'this girl is nothing but trouble'. Maybe they are right.
I didn't get the boys' attention either, they prefer bitchy, cute, white girls with lots of makeup not only on their faces, since there are some girls that like putting that nasty stuff on their cleavage as well to make it look bigger. Gross.
I was, as a summary, invisible to everyone.
That is why I don't know how to feel right now, since I woke up in a forest I have never ever seen before, specially since I live in a city with not a single forest around.
That's it. I'm lost. And no one will notice. Is that a good or a bad thing? ... Well, for now, it is good.
As I start walking I look at my surroundings slowly and doing my best to hear if there is anything or anyone that might be dangerous near.
Silence. Silence. Leaves rustling. Silence. Wait, leaves rustling?
Starting to feel slightly anxious, I look quickly around, trying to find the source of the noise, not having any luck. Ah, having a small anxiety attack in the middle of a forest that is in the middle of nowhere, how lovely. And I will probably die either attacked by some weird shit or simply because I will get lost in here and wander until I go mad and try to kill myself. Yes.
Was my life bad? Now it is even worse.
I try my best to ignore the noise and prefer thinking that it is all my imagination as I walk around trying to find a path or way out.
The noise gets way closer so I turn around. And I fucking regret doing such thing.
On the floor, a green, giant, caterpillar slowly slides in a way too fucking creepy way. It stops and looks at me with its giant yellow and black eyes.
If I say it is a giant caterpillar, I am not exaggerating. That shit is the size of the half of my whole arm.
Now, Nira. It is not the moment to freak out... Aaand I'm freaking out.
"WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK IS THAT THING?!"
The next things happened so unexpectedly and quick that it was all like a blur; I was so distracted that the only thing I could hear was a guy's voice shouting something that even if I understood the words, I had no idea what it meant.
"Treecko, Razor Leaf!"
POV Change; Earlier that day.
My name is Blake, I'm 18 and the most boring person in whole Kalos, Heck the world probably.
Why you ask? Well, every child gets a Pokémon at the age of 10. They then go out on an adventure to fill the Pokédex, become the champ or other things they want to accomplish.
Yeah, EVERY child. Guess what. I'm 18. 18! And have I gotten a Pokémon? Of course not. BUT, today professor Sycamore told me to come to his lab today! Maybe I will get a Pokémon now.
At least I hope so. I make myself ready to go, eat breakfast and say goodbye to my parents. Yes, I live by my parents. At least for now.
Either, I get a Pokémon today, or I'm gonna get a job over in Hoenn. I honestly don't want to work there, but hey, It's freaking 10.000 Pokédollar per mmonth. That's a lot.
But enough of that. I open the door and step outside, breathing the fresh air and hearing the twirping of the birds. Well, at least I would hear them, if it wasn't for my headphones.
After a walk of a whole hour, my legs are hurting now, because of steep hills, I finally arrive in Professor Sycamore's laboratory in Lumiose city. It's a big and very technical building, with doors that open by themselves.
I step inside and are immediately greeted by
a cheering, feminine voice. I look over to the reception and talk to the lady:"Umm, Hi. I have an appointment with Professor Sycamore."
"Ah, yes, Mr. Rutherford, right?" "Yes. Could you tell me where to go? I've never been here." "Of course. Just take the elevator to the second floor. He should be waiting or you there." Thanks."
I pout a bit. I hate elevators. The thought of something lifting me up without my power over itmakes me nervous. Luckily, we don't have them in my town.
Finally, the moment that could change my life completely. There he was, sitting in his chair, clicking somethin on his computer.
As soon as I come in, his concentration on the monitor fades, and a big smile covers his face. "Ah, Blake. Good that you came. Sit down, have a tea. I need to discuss something with you."
He points at an empty chair on the other side of his desk. Slowly, I approach the chair. I was nervous as all hell. "So, how was the trip here?
The big city is something completely different from the town, isn't it?." "Yeah, it's way more crowded. But it isn't as loud as I imagined."
" Good, good. Okay, enough talking. I know your test scores for the finals at Sinnoh University, I know that you are more than qualified to become a professor on your own!"
'He looked that up? Well, yeah, my scores were decent and I even aced in english, but what does that have to do with Pokémn?' "I know it's been annnoying you for years, you, the only one without a Pokémon. I want to change that"
'Did he? Did he just say that? THAT?! That ONE sentence I waited for 8 long years! Finally! Finally I get my own companion to travel around with!' I probably had the biggest smile of my live at that moment.
"I want you to choose a starter Pokémon. Here and now. Sadly, we don't have the typical Kalos starters, but we have the starter Pokémon from Hoenn!"
'Oh man, I really wanted a Greninja. It just looks so badass! But hey, as long as I get a Pokémon to travel with, I'm happy.'
He took a suitcase off of a table with some scrap and some little devices. "You can choose between the Water-Pokémon Mudkip, which will become a water-ground type.
You could choose Torchick, which will become a fire-fighting type. Or you could choose Treeko, a grass type that will always be a grass type Pokémon." 'Hmm, Treecko is the only one that doesn't change?
Treeckos probably don't get chosen often because of that...' "I'll choose Treecko." "Ah, the little grass lady. I hope you two will have fun on your journey. Here, take these." He handed me a little bag. I open it.
Inside it there are a Pokédex, a little device that kind of looks like an in-ear headphone and a Pokéball. I take the Pokédex out of the bag and start it. A robotic, female-like voice comes from the little playing-card like Pokémon-Index.
"Please scan ID for verification." "What ID?" Sycamore hands me a little card. "Every trainer has his own ID. With it you can store Pokédollar. Or spend it in shops or after you loose a battle. It's a mix between points and money.
Trainers even get a little discount! I was so kind and filled your ID for you" "Thank you Sycamore. But I have one question." "What is it?" The young man, probably in his mid 20s, was a little confused, as he explained almost everything.
"Why do you give me a Pokémon now? You know my mother, so you probably know that I would've been working in Hoenn in a few weeks." "Well, I needed someone to help me with my research.
As you probably know, a few weeks ago, I send some children to explore the Kalos region with Pokémon." "Of course I know. Serena is my one of my neighbours." "Oh, yes, I forgot that.
Well, they didn't quite fulfill the job I sent them to do. That job was to research the mega-evolution. Two of them didn't find any mega-stones and the other 3 couldn't find out anything new.
So, I thought if I would send an academic mastermind, maybe he would find out something important." "First, I'm far from an academic mastermind.
I aced english, but in the other lessons I only was decent. I almost failed biology too." "Unimportant details." "And second, I don't know anything about mega-evolutions." "That's why I gave you these three Pokémon to choose from.
We have all three mega-stones for these Pokémon. As you chose Treeko as your partner, here you have the Sceptilite." He handed me a green shimmiering stone. It almost looked like a little emerald.
"All you have to do is evolving your Treeko to a Sceptile. Then you need a catalysator. That can be anything. A ring, a necklace, a bracelet. It needs this stone in it."
He lifted up a little pinkish stone. "I think a ring would be fine." "Okay, then you need to come next week to pick it up." Sure, when I can make my Treeko stronger with it. Also, what is this thing?" I lifted up the headphone-like thing. "That's a scientific masterpiece.
We have accomplished something that the humans dreamed of for very long. It's a communicator. Put it in your ear and ask your Treecko something." I did as he told me. "I hope we will get along with each other.
My name is Blake, and from today on I will be your trainer." A squeaky, female voice answers me back:" Hello Blake, I also hope that we get along. I'm glad that you chose me! I think Treeckos aren't as popular as Mudkips or Torchicks."
"What the?! I can understand her!" "As said, a scientific masterpiece! With it, you can understand every Pokémon! So, that's all! Now go, tell your mother that you will be helping me with your journey!
Also, this time, go trough the forest. A little training won't hurt." I scanned my ID with the Pokédex and put both of them into my pocket. I ask my Treecko:" Hey, do you want to go into you Pokéball or do you want to go alongside me?" "I think I will go with you."
"Okay, then. Thank you very much Sycamore. This is a dream come true for me." "Yes, I know. I hope you two have fun. I will call you when the ring is done." "Call me? But you don't have my telephone number."
"The Pokédex is a multifunctional device. It has the original Pokédex, a map, a phone, an attack-dex, an ability-dex, a notebook and so on. It would be best if you play around with it. You will get to know it sooner or later." "Sure thing. Now then, we will go now. Until next week!"
With those words I pushed the button of the elevator. I was so excited I didn't even feel nervous because of the elevator. "Hey, can I scan you with my Pokédex?" "Sure, why not?" I push a button on the Pokédex. The screen gives me a few options.
I press the "Pokédex" button and hold it over my Treecko. "Treecko, the wood gecko Pokémon. The grass-type starter Pokémon of Hoenn. It's evolutions are Grovyle and Sceptile.
The mega-evolution of Sceptile is the only Pokémon with the grass/dragon type-combination. Learned attacks of this Pokémon: Pound, Leer, Absorb and Razor Leaf." "Wait, Razor Leaf? Isn't that an attack that Treeckos don't learn normally?"
"I learnt it from other grass Pokémon in Hoenn. We were all held in a laboratory. But don't worry, the professors there were as nice as this one here." We talked so long that I didn't realize we already stood in front of the forest.
"Okay then, let's see how strong my first Pokémon is!" We went inside of the forest. The air was fresh, you could see Pokémon everywhere, eating, playing, living their everyday life. "Oh man, I don't want to attack those little things.
They're way to cute and innocent to hurt them." "Yeah, but without fighting, I can't get stronger. And if I can't get stronger, this whole journey is pointless." "You're right with that."
Then, suddenly, a girl was screaming in the distance. "What the? Come on, I want to see what is happening over there." I, without any warning, picked up my Treecko and ran to the direction the scream came from.
There was the girl, afraid of caterpie. Yes, a caterpie. One of the weakest Pokémon. But the girl was afraid of it so I thought we could help her. "Come on, let's catch that Caterpie." "What? Why?"
"That girl seems to be afraid of it. Also, I would gain a new Pokémon and you would gain Exp." "You're right... Okay, let's do it!" I set her down on the ground. The moment I waited my whole life for.
My first Pokémon battle. With all the excitement and happiness I stored over the last few hours I yelled: "Treecko, Razor leaf!"
We hope you liked the first chapter of our fanfiction "A whole new world". It's the first fanfiction we ever wrote, so comments and critique are very appreciated. The next chapter should come in a not too long time and is written in the perspective of the female character Nira. The chapter after that is written by me and in the perspective of my character Blake. We don't know yet, but this chapter will probably be the only one with a perspective change in the middle of it. So, stay tuned and enjoy the glorious confusion of Nira and Blake as they gett to know each other.
