The Pokemon world, a place where mysterious creatures with amazing powers exist, how many Pokemon exist in it? Hundred? Thousands? Millions? Who knows? People and Pokemon have live together in peace and harmony, like spending time together, traveling around the world, and battle each other in Pokemon Battles. An amazing world, that's true, but sadly it only exists the anime world. Since little, I have always being a Pokemon fan, and just like any other fan, I wish I could be a Pokemon trainer, have my own Pokemon and have amazing adventure through the world, fighting gym leaders and other trainers, collecting badges and compete in the League, but I'm realistic, not matter what I do, I can't just be transported into the Pokemon world…Or so I thought. My name is Edgar Martinez, my family and friends call me Ed for short, I'm 16 years old, and I practice martial arts and wrestling moves. And believe me, I was prepared for anything in my life, but I wasn't prepared for this accident that would give birth to my greatest adventure on the Pokemon world.

Martinez Residence
Ed's Room
In a large room, on a bed, lies a sleepy person, he was moving through the covers, he must be having a great dream. However, that would be broken up by the sound off the clock's alarm, it keeps ringing until a hand came out of the cover and slams the clock, it stopped ringing and the person starts to get off the cover, revealing a young teen on his sleeping clothes.
"Man, no matter what I do, I just can't get use to this." He gets up from the bed and walks up to the mirror, his hair was a complete mess I'll tell you that much, it was like if Sonic went to his room and seconds later he's gone, however that's not important right now.
"Well, can't help it, today is an important day for me, better get ready!" Ed says with a determinate face, he turns around and walk inside the bathroom to take a quick shower.
-Quick Intermission-
While he does that, let me explain of the important day he's talking about. Today, Ed is going to take the driver test to obtain his driver's license. Last year, he busted his head, training he's driving skills with his mom's car and has improved, also...well, you can take the driver's test on 16, so is better to take it now before someone chokes him to death because of it…*cough* mother *cough*. Also- Oh, he's coming out.
-Back to the Prologue-
"Ahhh, I feel alive." the teen says while getting out of the bathroom, a towel around his waist and walking directly in front of the closet, he opens it, and before any of you readers know (Yeah I broke the 4th Wall) He was already on clothes, he closes the closet and walks in front of the mirror. He was wearing a leather black vest with the words "E4E" on the back, a white shirt with red strips, long blue pants, brown sneakers and on his neck was a collar flat poke-ball. (For those who don't see the character, think of Johnny Cage from Mortal Kombat X without the glasses, and the blond hair now is black) Everything was looking in order, he turns around at the door and leaves out of his room. Walking out of it and closing it, he makes his way down the stairs down to the kitchen, he goes to the refrigerator and see a taped paper on the front with a written message on it saying:
"Good morning! Breakfast on the microwave! Good luck on your test!
~Love you: Mom and Big Sis!~
"Well, at least they remember to leave breakfast, I swear, one of this day they are going to forget about me." He jokes as he goes to the microwave, surely there was food in it, heating it up for a few minutes, then he starts eating it quickly because the clock is against him today, once he's done eating, he washes the dish, picks up the copy of the house key and leaves the house, once outside the house, the wind hit em as it shows it would be a good day. Closing the door of the house, he leaves for the place he would take the test.
-1 hour of walking and bus ride later-
"Oh good, I made it in time." Ed says while getting his breath back from the running he did, he looks at the building that he was entering. Once inside, he quickly heads too registered for the test, once he was registered, he went to sit on a chair, looking around, he sees other people, they must be here for the test too. After a few minutes of waiting, it was time, a man call everybody to take the test. He is with a few people follow the man to room, which is assumed to be the place where the will take the test.
('...Right! This is it, is time to finally take the devil's test! Is either win or lose! Good luck to me!') He said those words to himself while entering the room, seeing a few chairs with tables, he picks one and sits on it, after everybody was sited, the man gives a quick explanation on the test basic. Once he finished explaining, he told everyone to start the test, and those', Ed started writing.
-Intermission-
And as Ed takes the test, let's discuss a little bit of him because we don't need to know this part, right? So, you know his name, age and his skills, but I bet you're wondering, why does he know martial arts and wrestling moves? Well, because is in the family, his mom is a 30 times women heavyweight champion and a former general on the U.S. Army, his father is CEO of a huge and successful company around the globe and is the number one martial art master of the world, enough to almost rival Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee, keyword being "almost", and finally is his big sister or "One-san" as she says, a superstar on athlete, she's following her mom's footstep to become the next woman champion to take over the wrestling world. Finally, there's Edgar or Ed, a three time young martial art tournament winner, the wrestling rookie and a complete Pokemon fan, has watched Pokemon since he was four years. He always wishes to be a Pokemon trainer and Pokemon exists. Not that he has something against the family tradition, but hey, people have dreams, right? Been a trainer and all would be a great thing, he was good at surprising other Pokemon's fan on card games. He would love to go the Pokemon world, to have adventures, make friends and rivals, and battle on leagues and tournaments and a lot more. And I think I told everything, I think Ed must have finished already by now.
-Back to the story-
"Yes! I did it!" the soon to be Pokémon Trainer yells to the sky. He did it, after a hard breaking concentration on the test and then a fast, but careful car test while being supervised by a ten-foot gorilla man with a glare that could surpass those of a Mewtwo, he finally managed to pass the goddamn test. Ed stares at the licensed with his picture on it. Then, he takes out his phone and took a picture of it, he starts to send it to his family.
('I...need...a...car...because…my license…wants one...Send!')
Sending the text to his family, Ed focused himself on the road ahead of him, better get to the bus stop before he loses it, after a long walk, he finally sees the bus before-
"Help!"
A scream got his attention, he turns around, but before knowing it, something shove him away into the side. He manages to get his balance in check and not fall down to the ground. He was about to look at whom hit him, when he heard a sound of a horn. Ed turns to where the sound comes from and saw a truck coming right at him, that's when he realizes something…He was standing in the middle of the freeway… and before he knew it, darkness consume him.
Ed was starting to regain consciousness, opening his eyes slowly, he saw that the ceiling was completely dark.
"Ah jeez, I feel like I was hit by a Giga Impact." he says while putting his hand on the head as he gets up. Once up, he looks around and saw that he was in a dark place. Everywhere was black.
"Where am I?" he asks himself, not believing would get and answer since there was no other soul around.
"You're in your consciousness."
...Or so he thought, Ed quickly turns around to see a floating green orb coming closer at him. He puts himself on a fighting pose.
"Fear not, young one, I have come in peace. I need to talk to you, but you may have question, so please, ask away."
('...OK, a weird talking orb is here, I'll pretend this is normal and accept his offer.') the teen though, letting his stance down, but his guard up. He decides to start with obvious questions.
"Who are you? Where am I? And what happened to me?"
"One at a time young, for who I am, I can't tell you yet, where are you, in the part of your mind that is still alive, and as to what happened to you….. you die."
"..."
"..."
"…Come again?"
"Well, technically you're half-dead."
"Half-Dead?"
"Allow me to explain, on your way back home, a robber pushes you into the freeway, once you recover, a truck hit face first, causing your body to receive external damage. Right now you're between the only bit of life that you have and death." the orb explain.
"...So you're saying, I'm about to die?" Ed summons all up.
"Yes."
Ed couldn't believe it, his shock, to think that his life is about to end like this-
"Whoa, this sucks."
Oh come, really?! Who takes the information this well?! And after all the trouble I did, to write this part?!
"This suck? I expect a different kind reaction from you." the orb says surprised.
"Well, I knew I was going to die, it just that I didn't think it was going to be this fast," Ed said. A very good point, life is a mystery.
"I see your point." the flying object says, understanding.
('So this is it, I'm in the line between life and dead...But, wait-') he remembers something,"Wait a sec, if I'm going to die, are you like some sort of guide to heaven and hell?"
"No, I'm here for something else." the orb says, surprising Ed, it slowly move at the boy, who, was still been cautious.
"The reason I'm here is because of your wish."
Ed was very confused, "My wish?"
"The wish to go to the Pokémon world, of course." says the orb.
...OK, he didn't see that one coming.
"Come again?" he says surprised by that theme coming to topic.
"Since young, you always wanted to be a Pokémon Trainer, correct?"
"Well yeah, that's true."
"Then this a perfect time, you're about to die, but I can reborn your original body in the world of Pokémon."
"...You're joking with me, right?"
"No, this is the 100% true."
"But, what about my family?"
"Don't worry about, they will overcome your death, they are strong, right?"
"Yeah, but..."
"Listen, you're about to die, I can't stop your wound or heal you, but I can make your body and soul go into another world, and what better place than the world you have always desire to go."
"Well...if that's the case..." ('…Is this really happening? Am I really going to become one of the most impossible things in the world? ... But, wait, he says that he can do it, which means this isn't his first time doing it.')
"Actually, this is my first time doing it." says the orb.
('Really….wait, did he just-')
"Yes, I read your mind."
"…OK, that's creepy yet awesome, but that means I'm the first one to go the Pokémon world?"
"Yes." It says bluntly.
"But, there are others like me that would die for this opportunity, why me?" the teen asks, not wanting to make things wrong and unfair.
"Three reasons: one; they aren't dead yet, two; I can only do this once and three; there something special inside you, I can tell." He explains the reasons.
Ed was more confused now, ('Something special inside me? Well, I have won some championships, medals and titles, and have show to have great talent at some things, but they weren't something you could call special.')
"So tell me, do you want to take this chance?"
('…My dad always said to follow your heart….this is one time opportunity, I can't let it pass!') "…Alright, I accept."
"Excellent."
Then, the orb start to shine more brighter, Ed covers his eyes with his arms, then it starts to slowly fading away, he removes his arm from his eyes and saw a bag was floating in front of him.
"Inside this bag, are the things you will need for your journey, a map, a camp set, food, water, clothes and a little bit of money." the orb explains as Ed takes the bag and checks the inside, sure enough everything he said was inside.
"Also, I upgrade your phone a little."
Upgrade his phone? That got him curious, the now Pokémon Trainer takes his phone out of his pocket, turns it on, and a chipper robotic sound came out.
"Hello, I'm a Pokedex that belongs to Pokemon Trainer, Ed from Pallet Town."
"My phone...is a Pokedex now?" he says in shock.
"Neat, isn't?"
"Tell me about it." He turns off the phone and put it back on his pocket.
"And finally, I give your body something extra."
"Something extra, what is it?" Ed asks.
"Now, that's something you must find by yourself."
Now it got the trainer curious, oh well. He puts the bag on his back.
"I see you're ready. Please once you're on the Pokemon world, make your way at Professors Oak lab, he's waiting for you."
"...Wait, how does the professor know I'm going there?"
"I told him."
"...Why am I surprised."
"Now hurry up now, you don't have all day."
Well somebody is in a hurry, a portal appears behind the flying object; that must be how Ed will be getting there. He walk past the orb, he made his way into the portal, but then he stops, remembering to be polite.
"Oh, and mysterious orb…thank you for this opportunity."
Once he says those words, he jumps through the portal. Get ready Pokemon World, here comes Ed!
TO BE CONTINUED…..
Next Time: The story begins.
