Pokemon: Journey to the Other Land
Saga 1: Advanced Journey
Chapter 1: To Set the Gears Into Motion
"Your coming with us Spencer Palm!" A man in a dark outfit said to a man in a white labcoat.
"That's what you think," Palm said as he jumped out a window.
"We're ten stories up, he can't survive that!" Another man in dark clothes said
"Neither will the item!" The man in dark said as he rushed to the window and came in contact with the bottom end of a boot.
"Forgot I had Pokemon didn't you!" Spencer said as he rode on top of a large cloud-like pokemon, "Now I have a question." He said as he grabbed the one at the window and had his pokemon fly away from the building
Half a world away...
"Nagi! Wake up your late!" A voice came from downstairs.
"Sorry Mrs. Birch!" a ten year old with green hair yelled as he tripped and fell down the stairs.

That's me, son of the great professor Spencer Palm. Right now I'm residing with my father's friend Prof. Birch and his wife. My mother is Joy Palm, she's the resident Pokemon Nurse over in Sootopolis. I haven't seen her or my sister Emily in two years. However today I start my Pokemon journey and I know I'll eventually meet them again.
"Oh Nagi, you really are useless... are you sure you want to start your journey today?" Mrs Birch said as she stood at the bottom of the stairs looking down at Nagi.
"I promised everyone that I'd start my journey today!" Nagi said as he flailed around a bit while getting up.
"Okay... just don't get yourself killed!" Mrs Birch yelled as Nagi ran out the door.
"Don't worry, I won't!" Nagi said as a person on a bike ran into.
"That person is just like his mother I swear..." Mrs Birch said as she shook her head.
"Oh Nagi, I'm sorry!" A girl said as she got off her bike.
"It's okay Merryl," Nagi said as he rubbed his head...

My best friend Merryl Lyne, she's lived in Littleroot Town her whole life. She's sort of a tomboy and loves competition. She always seems to hit me with her bike.. She has a dream of becoming a Pokemon Nurse and even spends time creating her own medicines.
"Do you need a lift to the lab?" Merryl asked with a smile.
"That would be nice." Nagi said as he smiled back.
Later at Birch's Lab
"Nagi, Merryl so glad you could make it." Prof. Birch said as he got up, "I just got back a few minutes ago myself."
"And you thought we'd be late," Nagi said to Merryl.
"You peeps are late... as is the prof," another ten year old boy said jumping from the top of a bookshelf.
"Hey Saru!" Nagi said

Name: Saru Kiba
Age: 10
IQ : 61
Athletic Skill: 94
Saru Kiba is an interesting person, he was raised by Aipom over in the Johto region. One day he and his "Brother", an Aipom, climbed on a boat as a joke. They wound up outside Littleroot Town, and stayed there. Eventually he began interacting with the locals and learned to speak by watching TV and reading Webcomics.
"Heheh, yo sup peeps!" Saru said as he landed on the ground.
"It looks like all three of you are here so lets get this started." Birch said as he pressed a button and a machine with three pokemon came up from the ground. "The one with the highest test scores gets to go first, then lowest, then middle, so... Nagi, you first."
"Actually sir, if it's alright, I'd like to go last," Nagi said as he bowed his head.
"Sure, then first up will be Saru, can you two wait in the other room as he decides?"
"Yes sir," Merryl and Nagi said in unison as they stepped into the waiting room.
"So why did you say that," Merryl asked as the door closed.
"My fathers last words to me were to trust in fate, so that's what I'm doing." Nagi said as he sat down.
"Yeah right... you just can't make up your mind." Merryl said as she slapped him in the back.
"N-no!" Nagi said in protest.
"Whatever..." Merryl said smiling, "Well let's just hope you get a good pokemon."
"Thanks Merryl," Nagi said looking at the ground.
"Okay peeps, I'm done, Merryl you up yo bat!" Saru said excited as he flipped into the room.
"Well then," Merryl said as she got up, "I'll be seeing you in a few minutes guys."
Time passed and Saru and Nagi sat around waiting as Merryl took her time deciding on her pokemon. As the time slowly dragged on Saru began climbing the walls and shelves as Nagi sat there patiently. When the door opened and Merryl came out Nagi stood up and without a word walked into the office to receive his first pokemon.
"Catch!" Birch said as Nagi entered the room, "It's a Torchic, and here's a Pokedex," he said as he grabbed his bag, "I gotta go can you look after the lab for me for a couple of hours until my assistant gets back?"
"Sure, but what about the others?" Nagi asked as he held the pokeball in his hand.
"I'll tell them to go home and get ready for their journey's.," Birch said as he walked out the door.
"Story of my life," Nagi said as he sat down in front of the computer. A few seconds later the screen began flashing.
"Prof. Birch, It's Palm... I'm sending you a package... keep it safe, people are after it! If it falls into the wrong hands who knows what could happen." A voice said as it came over the computer and the Pokeball transfer system started up and a container with a Poke-egg came through, "They can track this egg no matter where it goes, give it to one of the trainers at your house today! Just don't let it fall into the wrong hands!"
"Dad," Nagi sad as the image began to disappear from the screen.
"Nagi! What are you doing there!" The voice trailed of as the image vanished. Running over to the machine and put the egg into his pack as Birch's assistant entered.
"Oh Nagi, where's the Professor?" the assistant said as he cam walking in.
"He had to go somewhere," Nagi said with a smile as he walked towards the aide, "I was asked to watch the lab until you arrived."
"Is that so, I guess we'll have to give you a gift," The aide said as he began looking around, "How about I send you one when you reach Oldale?"
"That sounds great sir, well I better get ready to start my journey." Nagi said as he grinned at the aide.
"Oh, okay," The aide said as Nagi walked out the door.
To be continued...
Yes I know this may seem like a normal pokemon starting chapter but it gets better later on...
BTW: The pokemon jumped on by the person at the beginning of the storyline is fanmade... Yes there will be fanmade Pokemon... But they were carefully designed.
