Hello, dear readers, and welcome to Pokémon Polished Platinum! This story is a novelization of the Pokémon Platinum video game, combined with elements of the earlier Pokémon Diamond and Pearl games and the anime. I decided to create this story to celebrate the Sinnoh remakes, as well as the Pokémon Legends Arceus.
This story will serve to solve the problem of me taking, at times long, hiatuses when I switch in between fandoms, so you guys and gals will now get quality content from me no matter what. There will be an Author's Note at the end of this chapter to explain things.
Enjoy!
PROLOGUE
"Man look how far I have come"
In the Sinnoh Region, there exists a giant stadium, crowed with people varying in age, race, and gender. All there for one thing only. To watch an epic Pokémon Battle of Epic Proportions. In the news panel there sits a middle-aged man wearing a well-kept suit.
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BOYS AND GIRLS OF ALL AGES WELCOME TO THE ANNUAL SINNOH LEAGUE CHAMPION!"
The crowd erupted in cheers echoing the tone of an audience giving off waves of excitement and anticipation.
"NOW LET'S ALL GIVE A YELL OF APPLAUSE WELCOMING OUR CHAMPION OF THE SINNOH REGION, CYNTHIA!"
The crowd roared in excitement, as fireworks in front one of the blue tunnels underneath the stands all go off, walking out of the tunnel alongside the rolled out blue carpet is a tall, and slender young lady with wavy knee-length creamy blonde hair that has bangs covering her left eye. Her eyes are gray. She wears straight black leg trousers, a long black coat with a V neck and black fur rimming the cuffs and running down the end of the coat, and a large teardrop‐shaped ornament on the center of the coat, used as a fastener, underneath which she also dons a black top. Her outfit finished with black kitten heels and a yellow stripe on each shoe. For accessories, she wore a large, black feathery ruff around her neck with two pairs of hair clips in her hair, both teardrops shaped and conjoined with a pale-yellow stripe.
"NOW ALL THE WAY FROM TWINLEAF TOWN! OUR CHALLENGER LET US ALL GIVE A BIG ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR LUCAS HUDSON!"
The crowd cheered as fireworks went off the red carpet coming out of the red tunnel, walking outside a young man about 16 wearing an outfit more suitable for both the cold and warm weather: a dark red full-sleeved shirt with a dark blue and black jacket over it, a white scarf wrapped around his neck, denim black pants with dark gray and white running shoes, and a dark red hat with a white and black semi Poké Ball on the back.
Lucas smiles at himself looking around the stadium
"Man, I can't believe how far I have come, not to long ago I was just starting my adventure with my starter my two best friends separating to walk our own paths."
"ALRIGHT LADIES AND GENTLEMEN WILL THE TWO OPPONENTS SHAKE HANDS AND WALK BACK TO YOUR SIDE OF THE STADIUM"
The two Pokémon trainers walked towards each other. Lucas starts by sticking out his hand, looking at the woman with a smile of politeness, and determination. The woman smiled back at the young trainer.
"Have you been keeping well?" She asked him.
Lucas nodded.
"I wanted to thank you for what you and your friends did and Mt Coronet, and for what happened in Distortion world. Together the three of you and your Pokémon, you all overcame challenges that were thrusted upon you, however difficult they might be. The power you three all learned is emanating off you especially. But enough talk, as the champion of the Pokémon league Champion it is time for us to battle and for you to show me what you have learned."
The two trainers walked to their respective side, looked to the scoreboard opposite the judge's box. The giant screen lit up and shoed both trainers Pokémon league registration pictures with six circles bunched together.
"NOW LADIES AND GENTLEMEN WATCH THE SCREEN AS WE SEE WHO CALLS OUT THEIR POKEMON FIRST!"
The screen changed to a circle with twelve spots, six red, and six blue. The screen started spinning, getting faster and faster. Lucas was watching the screen with a look of anticipation. Finally, after what seemed to the young trainer, it started slowing down. Finally landing on red.
"AS YOU CAN TELL LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OUR CHAMPION MAKES THE FIRST MOVE"
Cynthia reached onto her belt, pulling out a Poke ball.
"Garchomp, Battle Dance" She called out throwing the ball, it opened and out came Cynthia's signature Pokémon. A bipedal, draconian Pokémon that is primarily dark blue in color. It has red on its underbelly from the lower jaw to the middle of the abdomen, including the undersides of its arms. A patch of gold comes to a point below the red on its belly, and a golden star shape adorns the tip of its snout. It's horn-like appendages that resemble a jet or plane's engines, giving it an appearance like a hammerhead shark. These allow it to sense its prey from a long distance. Its large mouth features razor-sharp teeth. The feet have three white talons, and each arm has a single large, white claw for a hand. Curved fins sprout from the arms, creating wings giving it the ability to fly. It also has a large dorsal fin and another on its tail that resembles a shark tailfin. The male's dorsal fin has a notch on it. Pairs of small, white spikes protrude from its upper arms and legs, and there are gill-like slits on the sides of the neck. The eyes are intense, with black sclerae and gold-colored irises.
The Pokémon roared into the sky the audience cheering.
"Of course, she leads with Garchomp, well then, I guess it's time for you to make your entrance"
Lucas threw his Pokeball into the air and his Pokémon appeared in front of the audience.
