Chapter 2- One Messed Up Place or A Brief History Lesson.
Disclamer: Yeah, yeah, I forgot, but I don't own Pokemon, ~K~? HOWEVER, I do own Victor, his parents, and the entire region of Vohkani, including it's gyms, Leaders, and populace.
NOTE: I just want to say is that while I would like to get into the action, I think it would be a better idea to explain just where exactly Victor came from, and how they do things there. Hence, the title of the chapter. I'll get the action started next chapter. For now, enjoy!
S. NOTE: Oh, by the way, can anyone take a wild guess at what at the cities and towns named here on out will be named after? Submit your answer in a review, or e-mail me at ben_kitsune@yahoo.com!
I quickly packed most of my personal belongings, such as all of my cash, quite a bit of my clothes, some books, and my Game Boys, my Pokemon games, and my lucky deck of Pokemon Cards. I never really knew why I had them, I never played the game since by the time I had complied my deck the card game's popularity went down the toilet. Anyhoo I kept them with me as a good luck charm. I guess it's not a very good good luck charm, it hasn't given me any luck whatsoever.....ah, well, I guess I'm just a pack rat.
I never was able to get rid of anything I kept, even though my parents kept shouting at me to clean my room and throw away most of the stuff they called "utter crap". I only wish I was able to take it all with me, but, knowing them, they'd probably throw out half my belongings and rent out my room or something. Not that I care. I'm not coming back.
Oh, wait, scratch that. I am coming back. Only to rough 'em up and get the Badge I need to conquer the League. I dream of beating the League one day, but my parents always kept repressing me....once I learned that being the League Champion gave you truckloads of power, political and otherwise, I eventually extended that dream to not only becoming League Champion, but stripping my parents of their Trainer status and closing down thier Gym.
However, I'm so mad at them I'll probably just screw getting the Badge from them and just destroy the Gym altogether.....and THEN become Leauge Champion and strip them of their status.....I wonder though if that may be going to far......NAH.....
It's just, to this day, I cannot comprehend just how utterly STUPID my parents could be! Well, they're not stupid, but they sure act like it. I can't say I blame them however. We're all Vokhanians, residents of the Vohkani Region, and we have an outrageously dumb past.
What's that? You've never heard of the Vohkani Region? Well, it seems like it, by the look on your face. Anyhoo, let me explain. You're familar with the main regions of Kanto and Johto, right? Well, it's not just them. There is a major region in all four compass directions.
For example, Kanto is the mainland off to east. Johto borderlines it and expands outward to the west. Another region called Hoenn lies far off to the south. And finally, Vokhani, upwards to the north. Vohkani, believe it or not, may be considered an entire continent, as it's just as big as Jotho and Kanto put together. Each region has thier own profound history and natural culture as how it came together.
Kanto was a series of tribes that came together to form a sort of republic. Johto was once an culutral mixture of many kingdoms before democracy was suggested. Hoenn was and, amazingly, always a sort of republic(albiet a very primitive one, but a republic nonetheless) right off the bat. Vokhani, I am ashamed to admit, came together through dumb luck.
A legend of Vokhani is that at one point, very long ago, it was an anarchy. Then one day, all of a sudden, a powerful man wanting nothing of absolute rule suddenly took over the largest city in Vokhani with his Pokemon and a small bunch of followers at dawn, and proclaimed himself Emperor. However, the Emperor was incompetent to an unsettling degree, and altough he was strong, he was not a very brillant leader and was overthrown by the populace of the city at dusk. Now, now, I know, it seems like a whole bunch of hooplah. I'm quite skeptical about it myself.
However, wheter the story remains true or not, it did establish a sense of need for a government. So, the people came together to think of one, and many ideas emerged. Some people wanted an empire, but others were offened at the idea of one person calling the shots. Some people wanted to decide amongst themselves what was good for the people, while others were happy of the carefree days where everybody minded their own buisness and got along just fine, and wanted to return to such a lifestyle.
Well, as arguments piled up, people began accusations, and one thing led to another and pretty soon the entire region was engulfed in a civil war. Anarchy seemed to rule over, but that led to riots during the war and mass confusion throughout the whole ordeal. In the end, apparently democracy seemed to be the best idea out of the bunch, and a republic was formed as well. I'll never really know for sure, and I have an "A" in History....
The site of the new republic was also the site in which the wannabe emeperor took over. In time it became the most important center of the Vokhani, as well as it's capital, besides the Pokemon League. Oddly enough, it never expanded past that of it's size when the emperor took over, and to this day still remains the size of a medium-sized town. This is the town of Periodio. Periodio Town is the main town where Professor Pine hands out one of six, as opposed to three, Pokemon. Since we're up further north, we have quite a bit of Pokemon from the Kanto and Johto regions, as well as quite a few unique ones ourselves.
Also, there's one very dark and imposing island off of the mainland, a mysterious and forbidden island many, many miles off of the mainland to the west between the cities of Erbium and Thulium. Rumor has it that a particular group of both people and Pokemon were banished there some time ago, but not one knows why....or at least in my home city of Technetium.
Which reminds me! I have to get out of here. Let's see.....double check everything....yep, everything's here! Now, all I gotta do now is head on out!
My parents will rue the day they denied me my dreams!
On to Periodio!!
