Amanda's POV

'Where the heck are ya, Chuck?'

I was walking through my neighborhood, looking for Chuck, the Cianwood City gym leader. I turned a left corner, and heard a laughing voice.

'HAHAHA! Good one, Poliwrath! Do it again!'

Chuck! I thought.

Sure enough, there he was. His Poliwrath was out of its Pokéball, smashing random rocks and pebbles.

'Chuck!'

'What is it?' he replied, though he didn't even move.

'I'm here to take you back to the other leaders!'

'Eh?' Chuck turned completely. 'Who are you?'

'I'm Kuro, a Pokémon Trainer!'

'Bleh! I don't know you, go away.'

I stared at him. 'What? No! I only challenged Morty's gym about two days ago!'

Chuck continued walking, ignoring me.

'Well then…Alakazam, Teleport!'

My loyal Pokémon came out of it's ball, and immediately everything turned black.

-][-

I had already gotten use to teleporting, but Chuck clearly wasn't.

He was walking around, clumsily, and muttering, 'Please don't use any more Psychic type moves…'

Chuck plopped himself down onto a chair. 'What am I doing here?' he grumbled.

'I am gathering all the Johto leaders.'

'Who's here, then?'

'Everyone except Pryce. I'm going to show you to your room now.'

I led Chuck to Bugsy's room. 'Here it is.'

The fighting gym leader opened the door to Bugsy sitting on one of the beds, reading a book.

'Bugs-bugs!'

Bugsy looked up, annoyed. 'Do not call me that.'

Chuck let out a hearty laugh. 'HAHAHAHA! Don't be so grumpy, Bugsy!'

I walked away, knowing I wasn't needed there anymore. Turning around, I was surprised to face him. The one and only Morty.

'What do you want? Some food? A drink? Maybe-'

'I'm fine. I just need to…talk to you.'

'Um, sure.'

I followed him to his room, and he sat down on his bed, patting the spot next to him.

'Take a seat.'

I sat, and he started talking.

'Kuro…you challenged me to a Gym Battle just two days ago in our world, correct?'

'Yup.' I had no idea where this was going. I was fiddling with the hem of my shirt.

'Then why do you have a house here?'

I froze. The tension in the room was so thick you could cut it with a knife.

'Um…'

'You don't have to tell me, if it's personal and all…'

'Oh, no!' I reassured Morty. 'It's fine! Though…well, I come from this world. In this world, Pokémon is merely a game.'

'A…game?!'

I nodded. 'Yup. And I'm a big fan of Pokémon-'

Morty interrupted again. 'So you play Pokémon? I'm just…I'm just a fictional character?'

'Yes…and no.' I looked down. 'It's my fault everyone from Pokémon is in my world.'

'…Your fault?'

'Two days ago, I made a wish. I wished that Pokémon was real. And now it is.'

I didn't feel like explaining about the mysterious piece of paper appearing on my desk, so I kept quiet about that.

'That's…strange. Why would a random wish come true?' Morty wondered aloud.

'I don't want to talk about it,' I snapped, and he flinched at the tone of my voice. 'Sorry…'

'No, it's okay. I understand.'

Morty sighed, ruffling his messy blonde hair.

'Well then, I should go now.'

'Alright, Kuro, bye.'

I hesitated. He still didn't know my real name.

'Oh, and by the way,' I looked at Morty, grinning. 'My real name's Amanda.'

-][-

Morty ran up to me, panting heavily.

'Kuro! Amanda! I don't even know what to call you now!' He stopped in front of me.

I smiled at him. 'Just call me Kuro; I don't want to confuse the others.'

'Alright, err, Kuro.' He paused. 'Can you take me for a walk around this neighborhood?'

'Why not?'

Soon enough, Morty and I were strolling around where my house was. We walked past many other houses, and eventually stopped in front of the neighborhood park.

'Wanna go?'

'Sure.'

I lead Morty right to the far end of the park, a cliff overlooking the ocean. The sky was a mixed colour of pink and blue as the sun set.

'The sky is truly beautiful.'

'I agree.'

We were silent for a few minutes, watching the flaming orb in the sky fade into the horizon.

'We should go, it's getting dark.'

Morty frowned. 'How are we going to get back? I can't recognise the roads.'

'Use Teleport!' I command, and throw Alakazam's Pokéball up in the air.

Before it even materialised, we were teleported back to my house.

-][-

The first thing I heard when I appeared in the living room was a knock on the front door.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

'Hm. Stay here,' I told Morty.

I walked up to the door and opened it, and saw a brunette about the same age as me standing outside.

'…?'

She started apologising.

'I'm so sorry for coming here, I don't think you have any idea who I am, and neither do I, but I'm lost, you see, and I need directions, and-'

I interrupted her. 'Why don't you calm down and tell me your name?'

'I'm Hannah.'

'My name is Kuro. Come in and take a seat.'

Hannah followed me to the living room. She took a seat on the sofa, as did I, and I motioned for Morty to sit down as well.

'Um…'

Hannah looked uncomfortable.

'What is it?' I asked.

'Could you let Riolu in?'

'What do you mean?'

She pointed at the door. 'You left him outside.'

My face flushed red from embarrassment. I hadn't seen it at all!

Hurriedly, I rushed toward the door again and opened it. Outside was a Riolu, and it looked annoyed. I let it in and it rushed toward its owner, jumping onto Hannah's lap.

'Whoops, sorry!'

'It's fine.' Hannah frowned. 'I just started my journey in Sinnoh, but then I suddenly appeared her.'

'You're from Sinnoh?!' Morty stood up, looking excited. 'That's so cool! I always wanted to meet Professor Rowan!'

'Stick to topic, Morty. So, you're a rookie?'

She shrugged. 'You could say that, I guess.'

I grinned. 'Do you wanna battle?'

'Careful,' Morty warned. 'She wrecked my entire team with a single Pokémon!'

I smacked his shoulder playfully. 'Don't scare her! Your team only has three Pokémon, anyway.'

The ghost trainer rolled his eyes.

Hannah looked at me uncertainly. 'I don't know…'

'C'mon! Let's do it! Please…?'

She sighed in defeat. 'Fine.'

'Yes!'

-][-

'It'll be a three-on-three, okay?'

'Right!'

Me and Hannah stood at each end of the battlefield. I didn't know how, and particularly want to know how, but the field had just appeared, replacing the backyard.

'Battle, BEGIN!' Morty yells.

'Manectric, let's go!' I throw out my Manectric's pokéball. It wasn't usually in my party, but I had switched it out for Alakazam.

'An Electric Type, eh…' Hannah pondered, deep in thought. 'Alright, I choose you, Roselia!'

I smiled. Most people liked to use Grass Types against Manectric, and it just had the perfect counter for it.

'You can start first.' I told the trainer.

'Okay! Thanks!'

Of course. Everyone falls for that.

'Roselia, Petal Dance!'

'Counter it with Hidden Power.'

Manectric unleashed a row of light blue orbs just in time, connecting it with the petals Roselia had shot toward it.

'Hidden Power once more, Manectric!'

I knew that Manectric's Hidden Power was Ice Type, making it super-effective to Grass Types like Roselia.

'Protect!'

'Argh!'

The Thorn Pokémon set up a barrier around it, deflecting Manectric's Hidden Power.

'Thunder Bolt!'

Hannah didn't even border asking her Pokémon to dodge it. The attack hit, not doing any damage.

'Hah! That did nothing! Sludge Bomb!' Hannah called out.

Her Pokémon took a step forward, but froze in place, seemingly unable to move. Like I had hoped for, Thunderbolt's paralysis had taken place.

'Your Roselia is paralyzed,' I informed the rookie.

'Bleh, who cares. Use Aromatherapy!'

So she wanted to play this the hard way. Okay, then, I thought.

Smirking, I commanded, 'Manectric! Run up and use Flamethrower!'

With amazing speed, the Discharge Pokémon ran up toward Roselia and let out a stream of fire from its mouth, knocking Hannah's pokémon out of the match.

'Roselia, return.'

'Return!'

We recalled our respective Pokémon to their pokéballs.

'Match two, begin!'

'Ponyta, I choose you!'

'Let's go Aegislash!'

Hannah called out her Ponyta, while I summoned my Aegislash.

She frowned at my Pokémon. 'Huh? What kind of Pokémon is that?'

The brunette dug around in her pocket, eventually taking out a Pokédex, Sinnoh styled. She scanned Aegislash.

'Unknown Pokémon. BEEEEEEEP!'

Stuffing the device back into her pocket, Hannah shrugged.

'Well then, I guess we have to fight a Pokémon we don't know about, Ponyta!'

Ponyta neighed in reply.

'I'll start first, again! Ponyta, Flame Charge!'

'Swords dance.'

Ghostly images of swords appeared around Aegislash, dancing around it spookily, just as a flaming Ponyta smacked into it.

'We got it!' Hannah exclaimed happily, not realising that despite the type effectiveness, Aegislash was barely hurt.

Once my new friend got over her moment of joy, she noticed that my Pokémon was looking just about healthy.

'Ugh… Let's try Flame Charge again!'

'Swords dance!'

The same process repeated again, but due to Aegislash's high defense, the Fire Horse Pokémon's attack did little damage.

'Take down!'

'Hah.'

Ponyta neighed and charged straight at Aegislash, but instead of landing a hit, it ran straight through my Pokémon.

'W-what?!' Hannah stuttered.

'Aegislash is a ghost type,' I told her smugly. 'Now, Aegislash, let's wrap this up! Shadow sneak!'

In the blink of an eye, Ponyta was attacked by a dark substance that had risen from the ground; Aegislash's shadow. With that one hit, Hannah's second Pokémon was unable to continue.

'Ponyta is unable to battle! Aegi-whatever wins it!' Morty announced

I rolled my eyes at the blonde.

'Riolu, your turn!'

Hannah's loyal partner walked up to the battlefield.

'Time to show my last Pokémon! Go!'

I tossed the pokéball up, and it popped open mid-air.

'Arceus!'

Ooh, unexpected ending! All of my Pokémon are based on the Pokémon in my games, so yeah… Also, don't forget to R&R!
