This right here is just a thought that came into mind.
I noticed that no else really seemed to try this at all. and decided why not try a go at it? I mean come on, I've been hoping someone would do something like this. But since no one seems to have it, I've made up my mind to try this.
But while, I'm at it. I'm gonna be totally honest, this first chapter ain't gonna have so many details, hell if anything this is just something that's not to complicated and yet simple. Because really, who cares about some of the people in the beginning with their appearances? Sure its always helps, but not everyone follows that line.
All the detailing, will come along as the story progresses in a hopefully good way. Which is why I ask my good fellow author TheCelestialSkydragon for advice, since he's done pretty kick ass jobs on his pokemon stories, which I kind of tip for those that are reading this to check out if they got free time or are just down right bored out their minds.
All in all, I just sinply would like another shot at a Pokemon story, if youre gonna give me flames about it, then please let it just be constructive critisim.
Okay, enough talking let's just get this story on the road shall we?
(Note this chapter has been updated and fixed a bit compared to what it has been for the past 4 years. If you wish to know more read the notice and you'll understand. Nothing really much has changed, just making it look a bit nicer or trying to whatever floats your boat, or to each's own, your choice. I'm just hoping that I'll be able to continue on with this and pick up where I left off.)
Chapter 1
A Single Wish
A pencil is heard lightly tapping on a piece of paper.
The one doing this was defiantly bored. This teens name was Ivan Gates and he was fifteen years old. He green colored eyes and solid black low spiked hair cut with the tips dyed solid dark crimson red. His clothing consisted mainly of a black plain t shirt underneath a gray hoodie, blue jeans and a pair of black and white running shoes.
Now, for those that are wondering what was going on, it was simple. Ivan was at school, and it was almost over practically it was the moment of truth. And by moment of truth, today was Friday so that meant the weekend was mere moments away, a time where lots of teens his age enjoys.
As he waited for the clock to strike at a certain number for the bell to ring a paper was passed down to him. He knew exactly what it was. He was about to see the results of his recent history test. Flipping it over he saw his score, it was an A+. This meant he literally beat the thing down and hard and smiled lightly showing that all that studying was well worth it just enough not to listen to the teacher talking.
"Now remember, Spring Break is just around the corner. So, no slacking off. " Their teacher said firmly. "Oh, and also to the members of the writing club, today's meeting is cancelled. That's all. " He said as the bell then rung signaling another day of school was over. " Have a good weekend! " The teacher said as they all went out with Ivan being one of those individuals.
As Ivan exited out of the classroom he headed straight towards his locker. While he was sorting out some stuff, he paused cause some members of the writers' club was right near him.
"Hey, did you hear that Gates got the highest score in class?"
"Again? No way. How come he gets all the good grades. Plus, it isn't like his stories are any good."
"I read his books and it's not too bad."
"Really? "
"Pfft! Of course not! There all freakin terrible!"
"Yeah, I heard he bribed the publishers, into selling that crap."
"Or maybe they just felt sorry the guy. But come on, let's go." After there talking was done Ivan continued to sort out the stuff in his locker quickly as he could. This was so he could leave, and if you hadn't picked that up, Ivan was part of the schools Writer Club which basically had a bunch of students who like to write for fun and past time. In fact, Ivan has written three different books, which were all published, one being fantasy, horror and adventure. But yet for some odd reason it seemed that everyone looked down on him.
Normally he wouldn't care what other people had to say, however today those words hurt like someone had stuck a knife right into his heart and on days like this he really wished people didn't have to be so damn mean. But of course, this was the reality of how things really were, there was both good and bad people.
Later on, that day Ivan had arrived at home.
The only other people living there were his mom Susie and his stepdad Roger. This was a rather simple lifestyle; his mom was incredibly nice. But it didn't seem enough for his real father who cheated on her when he was only four and hasn't really spoken to him ever since. Then about two years later his mom started dating his stepdad and about three more years until he proposed to her, and they were married.
Now Ivan didn't hate him at all, in fact he got along really well with the guy. There was just only one thing that set them apart, the way how they were raised and their hobbies.
"So? Anything new and exciting happening lately?" Roger inquired looking as they were eating at the table. The teen pauses and looks at his dark brown eyes full of curiosity and some hopefulness.
"Nothing really much " Ivan replies as he looks back at his plate. "Tomorrow I'm gonna bring my N64 and Game Cube over to my friends place so they could repair them. And then we're just gonna hang out tomorrow."
"That's cool." Susie says. "By the way, anything on your upcoming birthday list in particular?" She asked making Ivan pause. He cursed at himself for being so stupid at forgetting the day he was born. But he did come up with an answer rather quickly.
"Hmm...not so much. Maybe some more sketching materials, a bit of manga, a mini grilling kit and preordering the new upcoming pokemon-"
Hearing this made Roger sigh and roll his eyes. "I thought we talked about this Ivan...a mini grill for example is fine, but why do you insist on buying more of that stuff?"
"Roger" Susie says in a very firm voice defending her child. "Ivan's been into pokemon for years now since he was a little kid. It's nothing new. And he doesn't even ask us for money or anything because he makes money with his books. Not to mention with all the money we've been saving for a while now will be enough to send him off into college."
"And what is that you'll be doing again?" Roger asks.
"Well, I'll try to continue being an author. And maybe if it's possible to be a voice actor for anime, while trying to make my own if it's possible." The teen reminds him for who knows how many times now.
"Ivan no offense, but that stuff literally has no real-world values." Roger said and after this was heard Ivan had enough and pushes his chair out.
"May I please be excused from the table?" The teen asks getting a nod from his mother.
In his room the teen is seen finishing off the rest of his homework while the sounds of arguing were heard.
("Why do you always have to be so hard on him?! He's don't do anything wrong!") ("Susie, I'm not trying to bring him down! But for crying out loud! He's almost 16 years old! Most kids his age would outgrow that childish crap by now!")
("That don't give you any right to try and tell him not to follow his dreams!") ("I'm only being a realist! Most young men his age, would do something more productive, like join a sport or even sign up for the military, those are something to be proud of and started doing more something more suited for boys his age!.")
("You don't get to decide that, Roger! He has a right to follow what he wants to do with his life!") ("Oh yeah? Then what if he ain't able to do it? Huh? He needs to think of what he wants to do with his life!") ("You know what, I love you, but don't mean you get be an asshole like that to my son!")
Hearing the arguing made him sigh and went over to his desk turned on some music to drown out the noise before heading off into bed.
The next day after getting some good sleep and the sound of Roger's voice out of his head Ivan was now at his best friend home.
His name was Travis, and he had one of those weird ass stupid last names that just don't even sound real. It was so bad that his friend told him that one day, when he got the chance, he would change into something else that sounded better to him. Anyway, for as long as Ivan knew his old friend, he was always into inventing primally robots in particularly along with fixing up old, outdated stuff.
We now see a large basement come into view full of old and electronics and a bunch of robots both big and small.
As for what they were doing, Ivan was playing around with somebody of his friend's inventions while the said person was fixing up some of Ivans old game consoles.
"Well, that should do it." Travis says as he puts all the parts for the game cube back together. "Give her a whirl." Doing as his friend instructed, he plugged it into a port in the side of the tv and turned it on making the logo appear on the screen. "And it's alive."
"Thanks a lot Travis, I'll pay you when I get my next check. "
"Eh, I don't mind. I love fixing stuff like this. Gives me pride and joy knowing I'm able to do something cool. " The teen said giving himself a pat on the back. " Okay, now what's up with your N64 "
"I hear the sound, but nothing's appearing on the screen. "
"Have you tried using different cords? " His friend inquired.
"I did all that stuff. Now work your magic."
"Well bring it here..." Ivan hands the console over to his friend who then began to dissect it and perform his operation. "By the way, you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine." Ivan lied.
"Let me guess, Roger on your ass again ain't he?" Travis asked while completely focused on his task at hand already knowing his friend lied.
"What the hell am I doing that's so wrong Travis? " Ivan inquired. "I mean come on, I get good grades and I'm keep myself productive. Hell, I don't even do any of the stuff normal teenagers would do like drink and do some sort of drug."
"Technically were considered nerds." Travis says. "And quite frankly, I'm proud of being one. BY the way how's that new book coming along?"
"Well, I haven't really thought about it too much." Ivan says and notices a tall round robot near a mini fridge. "Hey what's this?"
"Oh, that's just something I came up with." Travis replied. "Got bored one day thinking to myself why would I need to keep walking from my bed to the minifridge? Go ahead and sit down." Ivan did as he was instructed.
"Okay, now what?"
"There's a little remote on your right." Ivan gets it.
"Then? "
"Just aim at the robot and let it do the work for you " Travis answered with Ivan continuing to do as his friend said and watched the robot take a drink out of the fridge and closed the door slowly making it's way over to the teen and presented him with a water bottle.
"Dude this thing is awesome. If I had one of these, I wouldn't need to get up from the couch to get myself a drink."
"That's the idea." Travis said as he continued working on the system. "Hey, Ivan? This might take a little while, so how bout we take a break?"
"Yeah, sure. So? What do you want to do?"
"I don't know. What do you think?"
"Well, I brought a few pokemon movies, since I figured it'd help us pass the time."
"Put one on." Travie replies with no hesitance in his voice.
After watching the first complete season and half of the second it was now night time and both teens were on the rooftop looking up at the stars.
"Man...just look at them all. There could be thousands of different worlds out there." Travis commented.
"Yeah I know, and we could even be just a small speck in another beings hand or even a marble." Ivan added. "It makes me wonder if our technology will ever go beyond our solar system."
"What like Mass Effect? No. " He then paused rethinking it over. "Never mind that would be pretty cool." He then got all excited. "Oh snap! Dude look! A shooting star!" The teen pointed out right towards the light shooting across the sky. "Let's make a wish."
"Are you serious?" Ivan asked giving his friend a look.
"Yeah, why not? I already know what my wish is."
"Oh really? Humor me then." Ivan asked.
"I like to be a millionaire thanks to my robots helping people." Travis replies with a smirk. "How bout you?"
"You wanna know what my wish is?" Ivan says while raising his right eyebrow.
Travis nods his head. "Oh come on, man, how bad can it be?"
"I wish... " He began and took in a deep breath. " I wish that I can just go the pokemon world." After a few seconds Travis quickly covered his mouth to not let a laugh escape.
"Tha-thats's it? " Travis asks as he slowly begins to laugh.
"Dude, you got you're wish, I got mine." Ivan retorted. "I'm serious though, I would love to go the Kalos region. Embark on my own journey, catching pokemon, hang out with and have a good time. Plus, I get to able to battle along side them. That'd be really awesome."
"That is a pretty good wish. But Ivan. But, come on man, this the real world, that shit can't happen. "
"Well, I don't care, I'm sticking to my wish." Ivan replies firmly and sighs to himself. "At least there'd no people telling me or wanting me to be. Well, see you tomorrow Travis."
"Later Ivan!" Travis bid farewell to his friend as he watched him slide down the roof left alone to go over his thoughts and looked up into the sky. "Even though, it is silly, it'd be really cool if it did happen."
Later on, Ivan arrived at his home and something else was happening.
In the night sky the same shooting star was seen once again over his neighborhood. Before long it hovered right above Ivans home and right in front of his window showing the teen was fast asleep. The light then intensified for a second before shooting directly up into the air and into the night sky disappearing with out a trace.
We now hear the sound of light chirping followed by a groan belonging to Ivan rolling over to the side that felt weird. With little struggle he opened his eyes and saw that he was sleeping right on grass instead of his bed. 'Huh? Grass? Did I fall asleep in the backyard? I know that I went into my room.' He then sat up giving off a yawn.
"Okay, well this is defiantly weird..." Shane commented while dusting off whatever he had on his hoodie. " Looks like I also slept in my clothes. " The teen noted. " Huh? " He then noticed something was off with his arms. They didn't look real at all, but instead they resembled outlined cartoon arms with color inside of it. He then looked down his whole body was now different.
"What the? " He was seriously confused and heard a nearby stream of water and walked right towards it.
We now see the outside view of the forest. "Holy crap!" Ivan's voice echoed throughout the forest scaring a few Pidgey and Fletchling to take to the skies as. "Holy crap..." Ivan breathed in disbelief repeating already what was said continuing to stare at his own reflection.
"I'm an anime character..." He said while slumping himself back down and then shook his head and quickly calmed down. "Eh, maybe this is a pretty cool dream, so maybe something else cool will happen?" He asked before a growling noise was heard from right behind him.
Very slowly he turned around and was face to face with a large tall monkey covered in mostly red hair that had a crazy hairstyle along with a tail, he recognized this monkey anywhere, it was a Simisear, and it looked pretty pissed off, most likely since it was probably taking a nap.
" Uh oh...Hey, look...I don't want any trouble, I didn't know you were asleep or something, so I'm just gonna get out of you're hair. " Ivan said trying to negotiate with ember pokemon only glaring at him before it shot a right fist forward coating it in fire.
"Whoa!" The teen screamed before he jumped to the side narrowly avoiding the fire punch. "I said I was sorry!" The teen said and saw flames beginning to gather in its maw readying for another attack. So, in an instant he dodged the flame thrower by jumping into the river, getting away from the angry fire type.
"Again sorry!" The teen called out as he grabbed a nearby log and held onto it as he continued to drift along with the current while the pissed off Simisear was getting farther and farther away from him.
After a few minutes Ivan got out of the river and made his way nearby land sighing in relief as he sat back down. "That sucked..." Ivan exclaimed and took of his hoodie revealing a plain black shirt underneath. He then proceeds to wring out his clothing starting with his hoodie and this his black t shirt before putting it back on and ties the hoodie around his waist and sat down under a tree to catch his breath.
"Well, it's offical...I'm wet, and tired. So that means it actually happened, my wish came true." He said stating the obvious and was even more curious then ever.
"Now for the big question, how I'd even get here in the first place? " The teen then sighed in defeat knowing it'd be to soon to receive an answer. 'Okay, okay...Calm down... " He said to himself now standing up. " I should at least find out where I'm at. " The teen said and then facepalmed.
"Oh wait, there ain't no one around, to give me directions! " Ivan groaned in frustration and noticed a Zigzagoon running alongside with a Lilipup with their parents nearby. A Linoone and a Herdier.
'Hmmm...I know Pokémon are supposed to be more intelligent than we give them credit for, but then again some are really dangerous all on their own. Maybe I could ask them for some directions? I mean why not? They always do it the anime.'
After calming himself down he approached the two normal types. "Excuse me?" He got their attention. "Um...I'm a little lost, could you maybe direct me to the way out of the forest?" They just kept looking at the teen and exchanged a look making Ivan sigh once again.
'...I guess I thought wrong' he said to himself and heard a bark making him turn to see the Herdier motioning its head to the right taking the teen by surprise.
"Cool, so you do understand me...Thank you!" Ivan thanked the normal types for their help and ran in that direction. As he did so, the teen noticed that there other pokemon watching him such as more Zigzagoon and a few Bunnelby just popping out of the ground, Caterpie and Scatterbug were seen up in the tree lines, including a few Pidgey nests. He continued to on and looked over to his left and noticed a hill that led straight up.
Feeling a strong urge Ivan began running up the hill with all of his might and how far his legs would let him. He just had to find out, where he was.
Once the teen had gotten up at the very top of the hill his eyes widened in both awe and amazement and then pinched himself. He wasn't dreaming. Ivan wasn't hallucinating from any sort of drugs; this was actually happening. No longer was he in Chicago he was in another world, the actual world of Pokemon.
"Whoa..." The teen said in awe.
"Ralts?" Ivan looked over to his right and locked eyes with a small humanoid pokemon that mostly had white skin, short stubby arms while its lower area resembled a dress of some sort, its hair was green shaped into a bowl cut, and had two flat red horns on its head, a small one on the back while the front was large. As for what it was doing it was simply sitting on a rock looking over to Ivan revealing its pink colored eyes and tilted its head to the right in confusion.
