Chapter One

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon or any characters associated with the series. I do, however, own rights to any characters created for use in this storyline. Please note that like the book which inspires this fanfiction, "POKEMON: GLOBAL ADVENTURES" by Kirbykid13, I will use real places in the world instead of the regions in the Pokemon World.

Our story begins in a world very much like our own. However, instead of the wild animals that you and I may be familiar with, this spinoff version of our United States of America, and the entire world by association, is harbored by both humankind and hundreds of different species of Pokemon. Some of us use these powerful creatures as domesticated pets, others use them to train and battle other trainers from different parts of the world. However, harboring such destructive energy, some people use their trained Pokemon in aid to their nefarious plots. As our story progresses, not only will we discover new Pokemon but also new places and people alike that our world has to offer bright young trainers who are allowed to venture from their homes after graduating from high school!

Marcus Wilson is the first of our story's protagonists that we will be introduced to. Nineteen years old and freshly graduated from his school in Crowley, Texas, Marcus has finally been given the honors of becoming a Pokemon Trainer, very much alike his father and older sisters before him. With brown eyes and loose, flowing curls of black hair, Marcus is a Taurus born on May 2. In his eyes, Marcus is very much just as entitled to become a great Pokemon battler and trainer just like his family before him and he will stop at nothing to prove that he belongs in the world of Pokemon trainers.

Joining alongside Marcus is D'Angelo Burrow, his lifelong friend since the pair were both 13. Hailing from Louisiana, D'Angelo, an Aries, is a reliable partner-in-crime to Marcus's antics and very much like Marcus, has forever had dreams of becoming a Pokemon trainer in his own right. His father is one of the state's most renowned Pokemon experts. Calculated, loyal to a fault, and unnaturally easy-going, Dee is forever on Marcus's side, no matter how tenacious the road gets.

Our last protagonist is Jacquii MacDonald. Actually just as D'Angelo and Marcus are hoping to begin their journeys, she has freshly moved from Austin to Crowley, Texas from her grandmother's, making her way to Professor Burrow's laboratory in hopes of getting her very first Pokemon and learning more about this world of powerful creatures and figuring out what she wants to do to put her mark on the world. Although she has not met either of our other protagonists yet, Crowley is a small town so she'll definitely run into them before long.
