Chapter I: In the World of Pokémon

I didn't know how or when, but once I regained conscious, I was in some kind of hospital room. I sat up and looked around the room. I saw all sorts of medical equipment, a heart monitor, and many other items.

'Where am I,' I thought to myself as I took one more look around the room. I got out of the hospital bed and started to walk out of the room. However once I did, I became shocked. I saw someone walking by a small brown dog like creature. Actually, I knew what it was, a Lillipup. A Pokémon! A real live Pokémon! But how?! I thought they were fictional creatures made by Japan!

I noticed the Lillipup and its trainer, I think, take their leave. I decided to follow them, but first I need to get my backpack. Just my luck, it was at the bench next to the room I was in. I grabbed it and started to follow the two.

I didn't know how fast I was trying to follow, but I accidentally bumped into the person I was following and fell on my butt.

"Oh my goodness, are you alright," said a voice unfamiliar to me? I looked to where the voice was from and it turned out to be the same person I was following.

I managed to get a view of what she looks like. She had green eyes, blond hair like mine but shorter, and is wearing a big green hat, an orange and white outfit, and is wearing a green purse like bag. I didn't know if I should speak to her, so I nodded. She had offered me a hand to help me up. I took it and got up. I noticed the female smiling at me which confused.

"I'm so glad to see you up. You had me, my friend, and the professor worried when you were unconscious as my Oshawott got you out of the water," she said while smiling.

That caught me off guard. "Y-your Oshawott," I asked with more shock?

She nodded and immediately got out a red-white ball. My eyes widened. A Poké Ball! Before I could try to speak, she sent out a white and blue otter like creature with a yellow scallop on its belly had appeared out of the ball. It is an Oshawott! What's going on here?! Why am I seeing live Pokémon?! Maybe, this is all a dream! Yes, I'm probably day dreaming again while I'm back home after Clay had managed to get to Mom! I slapped myself on the face with a good amount of strength that could wake me up. I yelped a little and shut my eyes tight from the pain, and started rubbing my cheek.

'Man that hurt,' I thought to myself and sighed with relief that this dream was over.

"Um, why did you hit yourself like that? That can freak other out," said a familiar voice with a worry like tone.

I opened my eyes wide and looked around. I'm still here?! Th-then this isn't a dream; it's real! I backed up against the wall and looked to the female trainer as well as her Oshawott and Lillipup.

"T-this can't be real," I whispered to myself with shock and a little fear. Those three ninja men had transported me to the world of Pokémon! But, h-how did they do it?! I then remembered what they said to me before they caught me. "You are coming with us." "Who told you it was your brother?" Their words sent me chills just by remembering it. What do they want with me? Why did they bring me here?

I noticed the female trainer getting a little spooked by my behavior. I immediately looked down feeling ashamed of my attitude after her, her Oshawott and her friends have saved me.

"I'm sorry. I was just feeling really confused about what's going on and where I am," I said as I apologized to her and her Pokémon as well.

I noticed the smile on her face had returned. "Oh, it's alright. Hey, I have an idea! Why don't you ask Professor Juniper? She might be able to understand and explain to you where we're at. Besides, I just started my journey," said the female trainer as she had her hand to the back of her head and giggling a little.

I looked confused. "Who's Professor Juniper," I asked while looking confused?

I heard a gasp from the female trainer. "You don't know who Professor Juniper is!" she shouted? I shook my head which was probably a big mistake. Because right after that, she took my hand and started dragging me as her Oshawott got on her shoulder and Lillipup followed us.

"Hey! Where are we going," I asked while feeling a little spooked?

"We're going to see Professor Juniper," replied the female trainer which surprised me. "She's still here in the Pokémon Center so we can't miss her," she added while now dragging me out of the hospital which I figured out what building we're in.

Right when the female trainer and I are outside, I looked around the new environment that I had entered. I noticed some buildings and people walking from each one of them. I even saw all sorts of Pokémon with their trainers. I saw a Patrat, a brown, white belly looking rat, but it's taller than a rat, and shorter than a child. I also noticed a Purrloin, a purple cat with four tan diamond shape spots on its back, and pink eye lids. I then turned to the female trainer as I heard her voice.

"What," I asked as we continued walking?

"My name is Bianca. What's your name," asked the female trainer, named Bianca, while looking at me?

"That's a nice name Bianca," I said with a smile. "And my name is Ashlee with a double "e" instead of "ey" as the end," I added to reply to her question. "It's nice to meet you," I also said.

Bianca smiled; well, her smile just got bigger. "Wow, I've never heard anyone named like that," she said while smiling. Her Oshawott nodded in agreement. I smiled more.

We finally arrived to a building with a red roof. I looked at the sign and it said, "Pokémon Center." 'We must have arrived,' I thought as I walked in with Bianca. When we got in, I noticed two other people talking to a strange nurse with pink pulled back hair.

"Cheren! Professor Juniper!" Bianca shouted to the two strangers to me. When they turned, I got a better view of what they look like.

One of them was a male with black hair and dark blue eyes, and wearing a blue outfit and glasses. He looked like the same age as Bianca. Next to him was a woman with light brown hair and pale green eyes, and wearing a lab coat. She looked older than the male and Bianca.

"Why howdy Bianca! I see you and your Pokémon are happily getting along, that's great," said the older woman while smiling. Her smile faded a little once she noticed me. "Oh, I see Oshawott's rescue was a success since our new friend is up," she added as her smile grew back again.

'Friend,' I thought as I looked confused as she mentioned that word?

"Cheren, Professor, this is Ashlee, but her name is spelled with two e's at the end instead of "ey,"" said Bianca as she had her hand on my shoulder.

"Well nice to meet you Ashlee," said the older lady once again and continued smiling. "I'm Professor Juniper and this young man here is Bianca's friend, Cheren," she added as she points to the young man who happens to be Cheren.

I nodded and looked at the two so I can be sure to memorize who they are. The older woman is Professor Juniper and the young man was Cheren, one of Bianca's friends.

"Hey Professor, can you help explain Ashlee where we're at," Bianca asked?

The professor nodded. "I'd be happy to, but first I would like Ashlee to explain what had happened. I'm curious about how you got knocked out and floating in the river," she replied and looked at me?

I nodded, understanding why. If I told Professor Juniper what happened, I might be able to get back home.

"Sure," I immediately said and went to sit down with Cheren and Bianca. I told the professor everything. Me walking home with my brother. Meeting three strange ninja men, caught me, and somehow transferred me here.

"That's quite a story," said Cheren as he adjusted his glasses.

"Hm... Well, I can't really believe some one had manage to travel to different dimensions," said Professor Juniper with a lot of interest.

"Professor Juniper, do you know any way I can get back home into my own dimension," I asked as I hope there is; but once she shook her head, my hope was died down to sadness.

"I'm afraid I do not know such an item that can help you travel to your dimension," replied Professor Juniper with a sad tone.

I looked down as all sorts of emotions were flooding through me. Anxiety. Scared. Lost. And mostly sorrow. "No..." I said sadly as I felt hot tears now flowing out of my eyes. "Mom... Dad... Emily... Clay... Jack... Everyone..." I said subconsciously as I felt more tears flowing and now rolling out of my face and onto my knees.

I noticed Bianca had handed me a tissue box, sensing my saddened mood. "Thanks..." I said to her as I took a tissue to wipe my eyes.

"W-well Ashlee, why don't you try traveling with us. Maybe if we can find those men, we can get you home," said Bianca as she rubs my back.

"T-travel?... Us," I asked as I looked to Bianca?

"Yeah, it'll be great! Besides I want to see all sorts of Pokémon and places I've never been to before," Bianca said with a smile. "So, what do you think," she asked?

"I... I don't know," I replied. After all, I didn't want to get Bianca and her friend involved. Besides, this is my problem, not theirs.

"Come on Ashlee," said Cheren as he looked to me. "Do you really believe you can take out three people you don't know by yourself," he asked?

That is a good point. I hardly knew those men and besides they might have something up in their sleeves as well if nothing went right for them. "Alright," I said as I sighed in defeat.

"Yaaay!" shouted Bianca as she hugged me tight. "This will be fun!" she shouted once more.

"C-can't breath..." I choked out as I felt Bianca hugging me and was soon released, allowing me to breath.

"Sorry," Bianca apologized.

"It's alright," I replied as I smiled to her. I then noticed Professor Juniper smiling and got up which confused me.

"Well then, I think it's time for an introduction," said the professor confusing me even more.

"But I thought we did," I said looking towards Professor Juniper. She let out a giggle.

"Not like that," she said while still standing and smiling.

I continued looking at the professor with confusion and looked down to start trying to put two and two together. After a few minutes of thinking, I looked at the professor with shock and received a nod from her.

"Ashlee, I welcome you, a new Pokémon Trainer, to the world of Pokémon," said Professor Juniper.
