Chapter 1: Into a New World
It's ten o'clock in the morning in Mauville City. People were coming and going, some went while the others spent their time with their family and Pokémon, and trainers went to the city's gym every day to fight the gym leaders. The city in question was pretty modern, thanks to the said gym leader with the help of a gym leader from Kalos.
People also come here to enjoy the view of the city...like a certain young man who is having breakfast at the moment. He is 17 years old who has messy black hair and red eyes. His outfit consists a blue jacket with with a white t-shirt underneath it, a Mega Bracelet in his left arm, brown cargo browsers, blue and black backpack, and blue sneakers. His name is Seth Orion, a Pokémon Trainer who save the world from danger. Such as stopping the feud between Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre that nearly destroys the world and destroyed a meteor with the help of his new addition of the team, Rayquaza, the Pokémon who said to be able to stop the clash of the aforementioned Pokémons millions of years ago, and Deoxys, an alien Pokémon who was inside the meteorite, and battled the two before being caught.
Sitting with him is a reptilian, bipedal Pokémon who his neck is somewhat long, and it has two crests on his head. He has semicircular, yellow eyes with red rims. His lower jaw and a belt-like band across his waist are also red. Along his back, it has two lines running down the middle and two rows of yellow nodules that are described as seeds. His tail is shaped similar to that of a palm tree's branch. Both of his long arms have two sharp, elongated leaves and three claws. And seems to have a Mega stone that embedded on his pin which is attached to a red bandana around his neck. This is Kaze the Sceptile, Seth's first Pokémon.
"It's beautiful morning, eh Sceptile?" He said as he take a bite from his sandwich as His partner nod. Since Kaze is Seth's first Pokémon, his personalities took after him. They've been traveling around Hoenn for quite some time. Catching few Pokémon, fight Team Magma and Team Aqua, Saving the World from two dangerous events, and Fight the Gym Leaders and the Pokemon League. That was 2 years ago...now he just plain travelling left and right, or he could just go to the Battle Resort to kill some time.
Once he done, he returns Kaze into his pokeball before leaving. He decided to go to Lavaridge Town, who the said town is the best relaxation spot in Hoenn. While walking, he pull out a letter from the Pokemon League Committee that he received before coming to Mauville City. He open it up and read the content out loud.
"Dear, Seth Orion. Due to saving the world from recent dangers of Team Magma/Aqua, The Super Ancient Pokémons of Hoenn, and destroyed a meteor that was on a collision course to the world. We came to a decision that we shall let you carry 7 or more Pokémon with you to travel. But you still only need to choose only 6 of your Pokémon if you choose to participate in a Pokemon League or other battle competitions like the Pokémon World Tournament in Driftveil City, Unova and the Battle Resort. Thank you again for your work. From the Hoenn League's Champion, Steven Stone and the Head committee of the Pokémon League, Mr. Goodshow."
After put the letter in his bag, he decided to went the Pokémon center to pick up his Pokémons for his time before leaving. Once he set foot outside, a glowing object appears in the sky before crashing to the ground.
"What the hell!? A meteor?" He asked as he arrive at the crash site. "Let's see what's on here?" He walk to the crater to search for the object. As look around, he find a strange looking bottle. It have some kind of face on top of the bottle while the bottom was circular with seven rings, with three of them on each side while the last one in the bottom. He pick up the bottle as examines it. "The hell is this?" He said as he opens the lid, causing an energy to come out from the bottle. Once it disappeared, he saw something.
It is light purple Pokémon with several pink markings. There is a v-shaped marking on its chest and bands around its wrists. Additionally, there are pink markings around its head and a growth on top resembling hair tied into a ponytail. There is a yellow, ring-shaped marking in the center of its forehead, and it has green eyes with yellow sclera. On either side of its head is a dark gray horn that curves slightly upward. It has three gold rings: one large one around its lower body and one hanging freely on each of its horns. Its arms are not attached to its body and float next to it. Each arm has a small golden spike on one end and a hand similar to a mitten on the other. There is a golden spike on each shoulder, which is similar to those on its arms. It's lower body consists only of a wispy structure similar to its ponytail. "Oh finally! Took you long enough for someone to open it! They just HAD to send it in here, I mean they could have break the bottle with me in it. Sheesh, the nerve of those four!" The mysterious Pokémon said as he flexes his hand as Seth was dumbfounded.
"Who the hell are you?" Seth asked the mysterious Pokémon look at him smiling. "Me? I'm Hoopa, the Mischief Pokémon."
"Okay..." he said as he open the pokedex, pont it at Hoopa as it's image appears. It starts to talk in a feminine voice, "Hoopa, the Mischief Pokémon. A Psychic and Ghost Type. It gathers things it likes and passes them through its loop to teleport them to a secret place."
"That's what it said." Hoopa said as he stand proud. "And today is your lucky day."
"How's that?" Seth questioned the genie looking Pokémon as smirk at him.
"Didn't you know? You're one of the luckiest human who get to meet Arceus!" Hoopa said as it pulls out a ring from one it's horn and throw it midair, causing a portal to open up vertically. "In you go!" Hoopa push him to the portal.
"Woah!" Seth said as he was pushed into the portal by Arceus. Then, he is in a some sort of a sub dimension. "Damn..." That's all Seth said as Hoopa appears beside him. "Where am I exactly?"
"You're in a sub dimension now, I was ordered by someone to drag your ass here." Hoopa said as four lights appears. "Speaking of who, here they are." It said as four lights take form into different Pokémon. The first one is a blue quadruple dragon like Pokémon, the second is a white and purple bipedal dragon Pokémon, the third is a gray six legged dragon like Pokémon with golden crest and black ghoulish wings with three red spikes on each side of the wings, the last one was a white horse like Pokémon with rings like object around his body.
"Greetings, Seth Orion. We meet at last." The horse like Pokémon said as Seth was shocked at such mighty presence. He internally panic times 10 as he thinks that he's in big trouble.
"I'm Dialga, Ruler of Time. It's nice to meet you." The blue dragon Pokémon said.
"I'm Palkia, Ruler of Space. I made this dimension so we can have a little chat." The purple one said.
"I'm Giratina, Ruler of the Reverse World. Hurt my world and I'll wipe you out!" The six legged one said.
"And I'm Arceus, The Orginal One." The horse like Pokémon said.
"Have mercy, oh mighty beings from the beyond!" Seth said as he was on his knees and bow while comically apologize, earning a look from the beings, including Hoopa.
"The hell!?" Hoopa exclaimed.
"I admitted everything! I never learn to make a fire so I asked Viper to do it, I always wake up late because I'm busy reading porn mags all night, and the time when I accidentally enter the women's bath!" Seth said as the four look at each other before looking at him.
"As...much as I wanted see you beg for your live..." Giratina said as he earning a look from the other three. "...That's not reason why you were here."
"Then why? Why me?" Seth asked.
"Because you're a special human, unlike no other." Palkia said as it shows a projection of him battling Team Magma and Team Aqua, then to the Primal duo, to Rayquaza in his Mega Evolution form destroying a meteorite, then finally to battling and catching Deoxys. The projection disappears as Dialga start to speak.
"Yes, we've been watching you, young Orion for quite some time. You're tenacity not only quelled the Primal forms of Groudon and Kyogre, but you also gave Rayquaza the strength to destroy the meteor."
"And as a reward, we shall grant you a new experience." Palkia said.
"What kind?" Seth dares to asked.
"You are chosen to travel into the world of pirates!" Arceus said.
"A world of what!?" Seth explains as he freaking out.
"Relax, Seth. There are good pirates in there." Giratina assured the Pokémon Trainer.
"That doesn't make me feel any better." Seth said as he still freaked out.
"Then we shall tell you a tale of a great man." Dialga said as the Temporal Pokémon begin to explain. "Twenty six years ago, there was a pirate known as 'Gold Roger', but only a handful of them knew his name as ' Gol D. Roger.'. He obtained everything in that world have to offer: Wealth, Fame, And Power. And because of that, he earned the title of 'The King of the Pirates'!"
"Wow! You met him or something?" Seth asked.
"I met him." Arceus said as it earned a shock from Seth and Hoopa. "He was a great man as I Dialga mention. We become acquaintances when I visited to that world as I also met one of the powerful figures. He does not fear of everything, not even in the face of death. What's more should one of his crewmates got hurt, he'll destroy an entire town in retaliation! And that is a man that earned our respect."
"Sounds like one tough motherfucker." Seth said as he impressed by the man's loyalty to his crew, he even compared the man to himself, seeing as he will hurt anyone who hurted his family. "How it all ends, though?"
"He was captured by the Marines, the defense force of that world and was set to be executed in his birthplace named 'Loguetown'. His execution was used a warning to all pirates. However..." Arceus said as Dialga shows a projection of a man. The man has black haired that covered his eyes and a cutlass shaped cutlass. He was wearing a red captain's coat with a blue shirt and a white cravat tie, a brown trousers, and blue sea boots. The man was sitting in an execution platform in a middle of the town while two people pointed their spears near the man's neck. The man seems to be...smiling as Seth concluded several things: The man have a plan to escape or the man have accepted his fate as he have no regrets.
"If you want my treasure, you can have it! I've left everything hidden in that one place...Now you need just to find it." Those are the man's word as he was pierced by the guards. What caught Seth's attention that he died smiling. Several minutes later, the people were shouting and cheering as the projection disappears.
"Damn...he died smiling." Hoopa said as Seth nod.
"As you can see, Seth. Those words inspired countless souls to the seas. They were looking for the man's legendary treasure, the One Piece! And now...that world's time is known as the Great Pirate Era!" Arceus said.
"Wow...just...wow." Seth impressed as he reminded of how people want to become the Champion. Of all the the years he lived, he never met such individual who can effected the world that much.
"But if you refuse, we understand. We shall send you back." Palkia said. "It's you're choice."
Seth had to think this through. He got excited about going to a new world...but what will happen to his family...he hasn't seen them in years ever since the Pokémon league because of his constant traveling. But...he nod as he reach into a decision.
"I've made up mind...I'm going to take your offer."
"For real!? You sure you think this through?" Hoopa said as Seth nod.
"It seems we were right about you. You choose the decisions with no hesitation. Well then..." Arceus said as his body were glowing as 18 large plates came out of it. Seth's body began to glow for the moment before disappear.
"What was that?" Seth asked.
"I have giving you the means to use the power of my plates. However...you can choose only 6 for now as the rest will be unlocked as you progress on your journey. And also remind you that the majority of the world is the ocean...so choose wisely." Arceus said as Seth begin to think as well imagine himself of him using various Pokémon moves. Since the world will be full of water terrains, he thought of picking Flying and Water type plates. Next when he needs some support, he'll probably choose the Grass type plate. Then with fighting capabilities, he'll choose Electric and Fire type and last but not least, A Poison type should he was poisoned. "I'll take Water, Flying, Electric, Grass, Fire, and Poison." He said as 6 six plates enter his body. "Damn...I feel it became part of me." He thought as he look at Arceus.
"Congratulations. The plates has accepted you as it second owner. And do not worry, I can live as long as you do not do anything reckless...Am I clear?" Arceus said as Seth nod in fear.
"Okay...I got you."
"Good." Arceus said.
"But...why give me these powers in the first place?" Seth question the God Pokémon.
"To blend with the others." He said as Seth were confused. "You see, some humans and other non-humans has attained a power from eating a fruit, They were called the Devil Fruits." Arceus said as Seth nod as he understand. "Those powers are such as gained superpowers, the ability to control a force of nature, and the ability to transform into a another being. However...they all shared one common weakness."
"What's that?" Seth asked.
"Those who ate the devil fruits are hated by the sea, in other words you will drown regardless what powers you have."
"I think understood the gist of it..." He said as he remembered something. "But what I'm doing there?"
"You will find and serve the one who will become the next King of the Pirates." Giratina said.
"That reasonable...I'm not looking for something like that anyways." Seth said as shrugs that he's not desperate for wealth. "But why I'm not a marine?"
"You'll find out why." Giratina said.
"In addition, Hoopa will accompany you throughout your journey." Dialga said as Hoopa look at Seth.
"So...If you want to come back or need something, let me know, okay? Cause you'll be seeing me for a long time." Hoopa said.
"Yeah." Seth said as he and Hoopa fist bumped.
"And without further ado, it's time. Good luck." Palkia said as a portal appears below Seth as he falls into it.
"OHHH SHIIIIIIT!" He said as he fell to the portal to a sky as Hoopa follow him.
"You know...you could have sent him to the ground?" Giratina said as the three others were silent.
"Crap crap crap, I'm gonna die!" Seth said as he currently falling in the sky.
"Silver, let's go!" He said as threw as one of his pokeball open with blue energy. Once the energy disappeared. A Pokémon appears. It is a bird-like, dragon Pokémon with an aerodynamic body. The lower half of its body is blue with jet-plane wings and fin-like feet. It has a red triangular marking on its chest. By tucking its wings and forelimbs, it can fly faster than a jet. It has white and blue arms that can be tucked into its body. The upper-half of its body is white. It has triangular ears and a blue face with a white oval in the middle. It has a marble like object on a wristband of his left arm. This is Silver the Latios, One of the Pokémon that joined Seth during his journey in Hoenn. Seth decided to grab onto he's back as he able to ride it, able to break his fall.
"Thanks, Silver. Let's go down." He said as Silver nod. He landed on a forest clearing as he falls down. As soon as he recovered, he notice that Hoopa is already there.
"Why are you not helping me?"
"Cause I felt like it." Hoopa answered
"Why you little!" Seth said as he strangles the mischief Pokémon. Several minutes later after that, he looks around before leaving.
"I sure hope no one saw that." He said as he left with Hoopa.
"Dude, you got a strong grip." Hoopa commented.
Several hours later of walking, he arrived at a village. The village was empty, so empty that no one were here. He look around for a while as to why the town is so empty.
"What a ghost town. It's like a war zone or something." Hoopa said.
"Yeah...we should ask someone abo-" Seth said before he is interrupted.
"Die, Pirate!" A voice said as the two look the source. It is a tall and slim girl with blond hair and brown eyes. She wears a blue T-shirt and a green and white shorts. She is holding a sword that she is about to hit him with. Luckily thanks to his training with his Pokémons, he able to dodge the attack and take the sword from her hands. "Girls like you shouldn't play a toy like this."
"Damn you!" She said as she tried to attack, but Hoopa stop her with Psychic. "What's this? I can't move!?"
"Let's talk, alright. I'm not a pirate...yet, And I'm pretty much new in the village." Seth said as the girl calmed down.
"So you aren't?" The girl said as Hoopa let go of her as Seth nod. "Sorry about that?"
"It's cool. I can see why the village so empty." Seth said as he stomach growled. "This is go without saying, are you happen to know a restaurant nearby?"
"I am. Follow me." She said as the two followed her. Once they're in the restaurant, The two starts eating. While they were eating, They talk to the girl who her names is Silk. She tells them that how she were abandoned by her parents as the entire villagers took her in. And now, they were attack by the Crescent Pirates, led by Galley the Crescent. She also said that she mistook him for Galley as the trainer sweatdropped. When the time Seth tell his story, he lied to her that he comes from an Island that never been attacked by pirates as the Island was well hidden. After that, he stands up as prepare to leave. "Thanks for the food. Got to thank you somehow." Seth said as left the restaurant to get him a boat while Silk offer herself to accompany him. As they walked. Several pirates appear before them. Besides them is a man with orange hair and crescent shaped black mustache. He wears a blue captain's outfit. "Well well well, it seems we found ourselves quite the catch." He said as Silk stayed behind him.
"Stay behind me, I got this." Seth said as he marches to the pirates. "Are you Galley?"
"Yes I am, what's it to you boy?" The man named Galley said.
"Folks here doesn't like how you attack them. I tell you this: 'Don't start a fight you can't win'." Seth said with a serious tone.
"Oh yeah, you and what army?" He taunted.
"Just remember, you asked for it." Seth said as he pulled out a pokeball. "Ironhide, I choose you!" He throw the pokeball as blue energy come out of the ball. As the blue energy disappears, a large creature appears, much to the shock of those around him. It is a huge, bipedal Pokémon. It is primarily black with plates of silver-colored armor. The armor on its head has two pairs of holes with horns protruding from the foremost holes. Its forehead plating extends past its upper jaw in a small point. It has sky-blue eyes, and two nostril-like holes on the tip of its upper jaw. On the rim of its mouth are several pointed, fang-like protrusions and the nape of its neck and back have gray-silver armor sections. It has wide, blunt spikes on its shoulders, and gray-silver bands on its arms and legs. Its hands and feet each have three claws and it has a thick, long, black tail. Much like Silver and Kaze, he have a Mega Stone that embedded on a collar around his neck. This is Ironhide the Aggron, the Tank of Seth's team. The Pokémon roars as the pirates were stiffened.
"What the!?"
"What kind of monster is that!?"
"This is a dream, is it?"
Galley were shocked as he never see anything like Ironhide.
"Feeling lucky, punks?" Ironhide said in deep voice as this surprised Seth.
"You can talk!?" Seth asked as Hoopa talks.
"I forgot to mention that Arceus gave the ability to talk human languages to any Pokémon who are in this world." Hoopa said as Seth took the information hard before understands.
"So what if you summoned a stupid beast, men attack!" Gary shook from his shock as he orders his men to attack. "Ironhide, enjoy."
"I intent to. Rock Polish!" The Iron Pokémon said as he surrounded himself with blue electricity, before charging to the pirates. The pirates is about to cut him, but the sword breaks as it hits. "What!?" One of them said.
"Now it's my turn. Double Edge!" Ironhide shouted as he hit the pirates with his body, causing them to knocked out. Silk were shocked and impressed as how such a beast could easily take down in one shot. The big Pokémon sets his sights on Gary who were trembling. "You're next."
"Don't think this is over! I'll destroy you along with this village!" Gary said as he run away, his crewmates woke up before following their captain.
"Glad that's over." Seth said as he return Ironhide into his pokeball before look at Silk. "You prolly have some questions, right? Ask away."
"First off, what is that thing and the genie? And what are you?"
"Those two are magical creatures I like to call 'Pokémon'. And as for what I am...its my secret."
"I see...let's go find you a boat." Silk said as they went to the docks.
After several minutes of walking, they managed to arrive at the docks. But the villagers appear, looking angry. "You're Gary, right? What are you going to do with Silk?"
"What?" Seth asked as Hoopa hide inside his bag.
"You pirate? You're going to pay!" One of them said as they charge into the trainer, and tied him up with a rope. "Seriously, do I look like a Pirate to you?"
"Everyone stop, he is not Gary, he's just a-" Silk tried to reason with them before being interrupted.
"There you are!" Gary said as he appears before them. "I should thank you for catching this troublemaker. Now then..." He said as he grab him before shoving to a wall. "I would like for you to give me your pet beast." This caused Seth to become angry.
"The hell you said?" Seth asked with a furious expression.
"You heard me, I could use something like that in my crew. And seems that you have more like that beast...I also want you give them all to me."
"Like hell they'll listen to you, asshole!" Seth said defiantly as Gary steps on his head. "Learn your place, brat! I'm Gary the Crescent! I'm a man who worth of 5,000,000 berries and as such, you will give me those beasts or you-"
"That's not for you to decide, you son of a bitch!" Seth changes to his Flame plate form. His haired turned to red, his clothes change to black with flaming designs, and the shoes were on fire. "They aren't some tool that you can use and throw them away. They're my treasures my family."
"Them as your treasure? Don't make me laugh! They're just only tools. Treasure is gold and diamonds!"
"You don't know him very much you bastard!" Silk shouted as she got the attention of the others. "Just as he treasured those things as family, I treasured this village. They worth everything than some gold or othet stuff. I will protect my treasure, no matter what it takes!"
"Why you! Like I said, treasure is-"
"She's right! This village is her treasure! We won't let you destroy it!" One of the villagers shouted as all of them shout the same thing.
"So you see..." Seth said as he covered himself in flames, causing the rope to be burn off. "They know the true meaning of a treasure, unlike you."
"Damn you! This isn't over!" Gary said as run away to his ship.
"I'm not letting you this time!" Seth said as he switches to his Sky plate form. His hair now bluish white, his outfit is now white with blue streaks, and seems to grow wings.
"Hold this." He said as handed Hoopa his bag before flying to where Gary's ship.
As he flew, he spotted the ship as flew in.
"What!? He followed me here!"
"That's right, and you're going to pay! Aerial Ace!" He shouted as he sped around, delivering punches and kicks to the entire crew while moving high speed. The crew doesn't stand a chance as they were getting attacked left and right, as he was too fast. "Phase 2, Air Slash!" He shouted as he created wind saws that cut through the ship, causing the ship to sinking.
"Why you!" Gary gritted as he tried to shoot Seth but before that happens, he was uppercutted into the air. "I will kill you someday!"
"I'll like to see you try, Wing Attack!" Seth shouted as he sent Gary far far away with his wings while the ships sink. After that, he returned to the ground, returned to normal. "And that's game." He said as Hoopa give him his backpack before he was surrounded by the villagers.
"How do you do that?"
"Are you a Devil Fruit user?"
"Can you show me other things?"
"That's enough!" One of the villagers said as the others dispersed. He seemed to be the mayor of the village. "It's seems we judged you unfairly, young man." He said as he bowed. "On behalf of the villagers, I thank you. Without you, this pirates could have destroyed the village. And we also sorry for that little misunderstanding."
"It's cool, you're not the first one who mistook me for pirate." He said as Silk embarrassed.
"As a reward, we shall grant you a reward. Name it."
"Well...I need a boat." Seth said.
"That can be arraigned. We shall give you one of our boat. But for now, you should relax." The mayor said as Seth and Hoopa went into one of the house that the villagers provided him as the two get some rest
(The next day...)
"Are you sure this is enough?" One of the villagers said.
"Hell yeah." Seth said as he get on the boat. The boat was a standard sailing one. Once he and Hoopa get on it, Silk walk to him. "Guess you're leaving."
"It's shame, but I got somewhere I need to be." Seth said as Silk just smile.
"Best be careful. There are pirates and other dangers in this seas, but I believe you will do just fine." The mayor said.
"I almost forgot! You guys can have this!" He said as he handed the mayor some comet shards and big nuggets. "This items will get you some money for your village..as a gift for the boat."
"I shall accepted this gift. No matter where you are or what you do, you two are always welcome to come here." The mayor said as Seth let go of the rope.
"Goodbye."
"Come back soon!"
"We'll miss you."
Seth and Hoopa waved their hands as they set sail to where the wind takes them.
Next...
S: Damn Whirlpool, how am I supposed to do now!?
H: You and your pokémon still alive. That's what it matters right?
S: Easy for you too say, I look someone who got capsized.
H: Maybe you a-Is that a ship?
S: You're right it is!
S/H: Next time on A Star in The Ocean, Chapter 2: Enter Luffy.
S: Things got really interesting.
That's for chapter 1. It was pretty tiring if I say so myself. There are also a bit of elements from Herald of the Fairies, but overall, it's going to be different. Seth's pokemon will be either 6 or 12, I just felt like giving him more than 6.
And as you can see, it's the start of Romance Dawn arc and Galley is a close word to Gary, so I pick the second one.
Fun facts:
- Silver's name was based on Quicksilver from Age of Ultron, seeing is they are blue themed older brothers who died in the end and they have red themed younger sisters.
- Ironhide's name is obviously come from the Transformers series.
That's it for now. Review this if you like it.
