Hi everyone! So, I'll get the replies to the reviews done first :)
koryandrs: Thanks :) I came up with the idea suddenly in the morning just about 30 minutes before school, so you can imagine my rush xD
Sableye-dance-party: Thanks! And I totally agree with you on the never-too-old-for-Pokemon thing :) I just recently led my little brother into his own Pokemon journey! :D
OK, so let's get this clear before we proceed: Green is Red's rival, and he's a boy. Blue is the girl (and the one I ship together with Green ^-^ OLDRIVAL)
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon :)

When I woke up, I found myself lying on a sofa in an unfamiliar living room. My bag was resting on the chair opposite that was facing me. I blinked, and sat up, still trying to figure out where I was.
I pushed my legs off the sofa, and tentatively got up, testing my wobbly steps as I made my way over to my bag. I opened it up, and was relieved to find all the contents still there.
I zipped it back up just as someone came into the living room.
'Hey, you're awake?' I spun around, only to see Red from the Pokemon Adventures manga standing in front of me, holding two mugs of water.
I blinked once. He was still there. I blinked again, and rubbed my eyes furiously. He was still there, and was looking at me in confusion, probably wondering what the hell I was doing.
I pinched myself on the arm and yelped in pain. Definitely not a dream. As the reality of the situation sunk in, I felt dizzy and my knees gave out.
'Hey, hey, be careful!' Red said, setting down the water and coming to help me up.
I tuned him out, a thousand possibilities running wild in my head, none of which even remotely made sense.
'You... you... who are... you?' I managed out. My lips felt really dry and I was surprised I even managed to talk. He offered one of the two mugs of water, and I took it gratefully.
'Who am I? I'm Red, who're you?' He said, taking a sip while unknowingly confirming my suspicions.
I immediately felt dizzy again. I took a sip. 'I'm Vi (pronounced Vee), where am I?' I decided not to mention the fact that he was a manga character and that he wasn't supposed to be real, much less talking to me and offering me water.
'You're in Pallet Town, and this is my house,' he said.
I had deduced that from how he looked so much at home and that he was from Pallet Town in the manga, but that still didn't help much. I started to wonder how the heavens I was here, in my favourite manga, when a deduction formed itself in my head.
"It must have been that flash of light... but how am I going to get back...?" I was so lost in my thoughts I didn't even notice Red asking me a question, until I looked up and saw his expectant look. Oops.
'Um... what?' I stuttered, looking back down.
'I asked how old you were,' Red filled in kindly.
'I-I'm 11 this year, how about you?' I said as some means of trying to have some small talk, lest the awkward moment descend upon us.
'Wow, I'm the same as you!' he said, a surprised look on his face as he looked at me.
I wasn't that surprised that he seemed shocked I was the same age as him. I was short as hell, and was still waiting for my growth spurt to kick in.
'So, what were you doing outside when I found you? I doubt you like sleeping on the ground,' Red chuckled to himself. I mentally sweat dropped.
'Um, no... I was just making my way out of town when I collapsed,' I said, trying to cover the fact that I had come from another world.
'Woah, so you have your own Pokemon?' he asked, trailing patterns on the mug.
I shook my head, unaware of what else to say.
'If you don't have your own Pokemon, how can you go from town to town?' he asked, and I had the distinct feeling that he would be the one asking all the questions and I, the one who answered them.
'Um... I don't know...' I murmured.
'Hmm... what do you think of becoming a Pokemon Trainer?' he asked me after some thinking.
I shrugged. 'I'm fine with anything,' It seems that I was stuck here for the moment, so why not enjoy it? After all, I had always wanted to become a Pokemon Trainer.
He grinned. 'Why don't you and I become rivals to collect all 8 badges of Kanto and meet at the Pokemon League?'
The question stunned me into silence. I kept myself facing to the ground, letting my hair hide my grin. Finally, after a while, I looked up, my eyes burning with the fire of determination.
'Sure. It's a deal.' I smiled.
Red grinned even wider, he grabbed me by the hand, pulling me up. In my state of shock, I let myself be pulled as he dragged me to the lab I now recognised as Professor Oak's lab.
'W-what are you doing, Red?' I asked, flushing as we came to a stop outside the lab.
'Well... if we're going to compete for the championship... we should always ask an expert first!' He winked at me and ringed the bell.
