So after reading the "30 Percent" by Jackboy0815 and other related material based in this universe, I thought of writing this story that takes place in this verse of what is called Australia compared to most of the other stories that are based in America. Anyway, the first chapter is basically a prologue to the events that are going to unfold in the story.

Also as a disclaimer, I don't own Pokemon but am a fan of the series of the games and the anime.

History is an entity that in my eyes could be split into two sections. The first being history that can be changed with different events like world wars, assassinations and streakers. The other section like viruses and natural disasters is a process of natural elimination. It's these type of events that can shape a generation or two.

Which brings us to today, the 21st of August, a typical Wednesday for everyone here in my local area. Nothing major is happening in the world and here I was, chilling in town with my brother who wants to get another game for his collection while I am waiting outside of the store, wondering why are still here when he still has games to complete before going out to buy another one to play.

"Look, just choose a game, or wait until you make up your mind then go in," I replied as I thought about what to do after it was completed. Maybe leaving Colby at the store might be an idea. Hmm, no that is probably not the best way to go about it as the last thing I want is to be the brother who abandons his family because they were taking too long in picking a game.

After about two minutes, Colby left the store with nothing in his hands as I felt a sense of relief. Noticing that, I said, "What about we head home and continue that shiny hunt for Mawile in Ultra Sun." The main reason being hopefully a distraction from being disappointed in not getting a new game. Maybe he might get the shiny quicker than that shiny Grubbin which he hunted for about two weeks before he got it from a wild encounter.

Walking home from the store, the talk like most days about our school day and how Colby's is more structured compared to mine where I had the flexibility. About five minutes before getting home I started to slowly feel a little bit dizzy for what I assume was because of not having any water throughout the day. After taking a breather and a gulp of water from my drink bottle, I gave a solid thumbs up to Colby so that we could head home.

Walking in the front door, both Colby and I went into what we call our paradise, our beds being separated with a shared bedside table. Around those beds, featured most of our stuff which included a 3DS, Pokemon plushies of all of the eevolutions except for Sylevon because it's not a favourite in our household. On the right wall was a bookshelf which mainly consists of old fictional books that are rarely read anymore.

"Welcome home children, how was school," a voice coming out which I assumed was from mother.

"Yeah it was alright, nothing too crazy," I responded as I started to get my stuff out of the backpack. After all, it was just a normal day that my mother didn't need to know about. Except for the fact that Colby wanted a game but that is normal for a person who wants fresh games to play. For me, I just wonder why he prefers new games compared to me who rather completes the game instead of forgetting about halfway through the game and wondering why I bought it in the first place.

Those next few hours was how a usual Wednesday would go, Colby trying to shiny hunt a Mawile in the caves of Ultra Sun while I'm here reading alternate history timelines and working out how to expand the little universe that I had created for myself.

Looking over to where Colby was sitting, I wondered if he was having any success. As I responded in a calm tone, "so any success over there?" hoping to get his attention.

"Not really," Colby responded with his eyes partly closed, later adding "but I am feeling a bit tired."

Typical Colby, always wanting to stay up late because his brother can do that even though I try not to do that often especially if I had school the following morning. "What about heading to bed as you did stay up to 11 pm last night for no apartment reason."

"Uhhh, can you take over my Mawile hunt then while I get some sleep."

Realizing that I couldn't say no, the 3DS was handed over to me hoping that I would continue his hunt. As Colby headed to the bathroom to brush his teeth. I looked over at the team that he was trying to shiny hunt with. Browsing the team, I noticed that his Pokemon were level 47 and above which had me slightly worried about accidentally knocking out a shiny if I did encounter one with these high-level Pokémon.

Heading back to the Pokemon centre, I need a particular Pokemon that when I play, I use for shiny hunting. I know that I could use any other Pokemon that knows False Swipe but sticking with one Pokemon helps out a lot instead of going through multiple Pokemon. After getting to the centre, I went over to the PC and sure enough, I saw what I was looking for with Gallade being in Box 12. By the time I had got it ready, Colby had returned and started to walk over to his bed.

"Good night Brendan," Colby responded as he lifted his sheets before getting in.

"Night Colby," I replied back. After waiting some time to make sure he was asleep, I slowly crept out of bed and walked over to my backpack. Looking through the backpack I had found what I was looking for, a purple book which didn't have anything to school. But something to get my thoughts out of the way and keep secrets. Sort of like a diary, but it's not really a diary as it didn't have any dates in the book. As I walked back to the bed, I flicked through the pages until I found an empty page and started writing my thoughts.

21 August

Another day of school complete as I write under the light of the 3DS, I wonder if Colby will get a shiny tomorrow as he is due to get one with the current luck he is going including two shinies in four days. At least there is one positive and that is he doesn't have a shiny Ray yet in Pokemon Go compared to other people in the group chat who does. But it's only a matter of time until he gets it.

The temptation of doing the work set by the teachers is something that could be a good way to pass the time. But I think, for now, the best strategy is probably to get some sleep and work on it during the bus trip to school tomorrow.

Closing the diary, I put the diary on the bedside table with the 3DS going on top. As I started to slowly close my eyes, I wondered what the day will bring tomorrow. Maybe something unusual will happen to change history as we know it.
