I do not own one thing that has a single thing to do with the following at all!

Currently, it was a normal day in the capital city of the Kingdom of Vale. This was one of those days where though Kingdom wasn't under attack by some terrorist organization or under threat of a Grimm invasion. No, today appeared to be a normal day, except for the fact that the applicants for Beacon Academy were starting to move into the city!

Many of these young people came from all over the kingdom or beyond in order to attend one of the most prestigious schools for future huntsman in training! There were applicants from Atlas, Mistral, and even Vacuo. There was also a handful of faunus students, with many of them hoping they wouldn't get discriminated just because they have animal features located on different parts of their bodies.

Yes, it was safe to say that many of the youth that were coming to the kingdom had a lot to look forward to... except for one young man...

Currently sitting on a bench in a park was a young man who looked like he was lost. He was wearing a black short sleeve hoodie with the cartoon character of pumpkin Pete printed on the front, worn out blue jeans, and black sneakers. This young man was noticeably tall, had fair skin, scruffy blonde hair, and deep blue eyes...and it looked like at any moment he was going to freak out!

This young man's name was Jaune Arc, and as of a few hours ago, he discovered that he didn't get into Beacon Academy...!

'What am I going to do now?!'wondered the young man to himself, feeling like he had just risked everything for nothing.

For context, Jaune Arc didn't exactly try to get into Beacon Academy through legal means. In fact, he tried to use illegal transcripts that he had purchased from some criminals in the bad side of town. Now, normally, he wouldn't have done something like that, but because of his family background, he had no choice. Jaune Arc came from a prestigious family of huntsman but was not allowed to become a huntsman because he was the only male heir to the name Arc. So his mother and father prevented him from becoming a huntsman like his famous ancestors, but all Jaune ever wanted to be was a huntsman so he could help people and live up to the Arc family name.

So without much thought, Jaune took his great-grandfather's armor and sword, Crocea Mors, and ran away from home with nothing but the clothes on his back! He then used allowance money he had saved up over the years to purchase the fake transcripts to try to get into Beacon... And well, that didn't exactly work out...

"I guess I shouldn't be surprised, considering the fact that I purchased those transcripts in a dark alley from a guy who said he was a master forger."said Jaune to himself, wondering what his next move would be.

He couldn't exactly go home right now, as he already burned Bridges with his parents for disobeying them.. He tried to mend those bridges a bit by sending back his grandfather's armor and sword. He hoped, but a few weeks of letting them calm down would allow him to go back home. But in the meantime, what in the heck, in the name of the brothers, was he supposed to do next?!

"Maybe I could make my way to Argus and stay with Saffron for a while. I'm sure she won't let her little brother starve on the streets, but then again, she has her own family to take care of. Ahh, what am I to do? Hmmm... maybe I could get a job and save up some money. That way, I can at least pay down a down payment in a cheap motel room. At this point, I don't care how cockroach infested it is, since anywhere is better as long as there's a roof from my head."said Jaune to himself before he began pondering on what jobs he could get.

He was 17, meaning he was able to work. But a lot of jobs nowadays require background checks, and he can't exactly say that he ran away from home and had nowhere to go. Also he would need people to vouch for him nowadays, what with many employers being paranoid about their future employees backgrounds...So it certainly didn't help that he didn't have any friends in the Kingdom as of this moment, or at least friends he could call up on.

Thanks to his parents overprotecting him all his life, Jaune was considered a loser by people his age standards. He did not have a lot of friends in school, especially during elementary and middle, since a lot of them considered him a mama's boy/or were jealous that he had so many beautiful sisters at home but all he did was complain. It was not his fault that he complained about his sisters at home, especially when they treated him like a dress up doll!

So how on Remnant was he going to get a job when he had no friends to back him up, no job experience, and no address. At least any decent employer would ask for one of those things!

"Maybe I could get a job at a fast food restaurant washing dishes. I'm sure they wouldn't have too many questions like a fixed address or a background check...But that would mean I would have to take a job on the bad side of town, and I don't know if I really want to do that..But what choice do I have, I literally can't go back home right now, and I don't have money to go back anyway. I am a man, and I have my pride, so I can't just grovel to my parents now, especially after everything I did. They would never let me out of the house again."said Jaune, wondering what his next move will be when all of his options seem to be burnt out.

He couldn't get into Beacon Academy, and he couldn't get a good job with little to no help from others. And he didn't have any friends in the Kingdom he could rely on, so what the heck was he supposed to do next?!

"Ah well, maybe I'll walk through town hall help me find a help wanted place. I'll look around for any place that has help wanted and see if they'll accept a 17-year-old with nowhere else to go. As long as it's not one of those shady places...Haaahh, I'm not desperate enough to do that."said Jaune, who quickly got up from the bench he was sitting on and began walking towards the shops of Vale.

His hope was to find a business that would pay him decent money or at least give him room and board for low pay. His hope was that there was someone out there who would give him a chance. At this point, what did the young man have to lose?

So the young man walks through the streets with no clear goal with his mind. He just continued looking through every window, hoping that he would see a help wanted sign or something that would indicate that they don't ask too many questions. He was a runaway, after all. But as he continued looking through the street through street, window through window, his hopes of finding a decent place to sleep for the night begin to dwindle with each place lacking a help wanted sign.

It was as if the universe had something against him, since every time he thought he found a job, the owner or one of the workers at the place in question would remove the help wanted, basically telling the young man that someone else had already got the job before he did! Now that was just depressing, at least that's what Jaune Arc thought as he made it to a back alley next to a burger restaurant.

He wasn't desperate enough to eat any of the garbage the workers would throw out, but he figured that a burger restaurant would be busy at all hours, meaning one of the nearby walls where they were most likely cooking the food would be warm, allowing him to have a sort of decent place to sleep for the night.

"Let's hope tomorrow will be better."said Jaune, who began looking around for anything he could use as a makeshift blanket.

That is when he heard something rustling and one of the nearby garbage bins. He figured it was an animal or at first before he heard the sound of what clearly sounded like a child's voice. This concerned the young man, as he wondered why a child was eating from the garbage. So, being a decent human being like he was, he decided to check it out. He quickly headed to the deepest part of the alley, and he found the garbage bin in question. It was your typical city garbage bin that was made of metal, with a lock and everything. Only the lock and question I look like it had been forcibly removed with great force!

"What the heck is going on?"said Jaune, knowing that a normal child could never have broken this lock.

So, letting curiosity get the better of him, Jaune quickly lifted up the lid to see the child in question. That is when he saw some kind of creature eating what appeared to be a discarded cheeseburger.

The creature in question was some kind of pink, bipedal creature with mammalian features. It has a rounded, wide snout; triangular ears; and large, blue eyes. It has short arms with three-fingered paws and large hind paws with oval markings on the soles. Its tail is long and thin with an ovoid tip. Its fur is so fine and thin that it you like it can only be seen under a microscope.

"I can't believe someone would throw away a good cheeseburger like this! It's an abomination."said the creature to itself, who is clearly talking despite the fact its mouth was busy munching on the cheesy delicacy.

Jaune in that moment was so shocked by everything he saw that he did the only rational thing he could do, he decided to slowly back away and pretend he didn't see anything..But as soon as he let go of the lid, it dropped and made a noise that it alerted the creature that someone had saw him!

"Nope"said Jaune, who quickly tried to run away from the alley as fast as his legs could take them, figuring that if he disappeared within the crowd, the creature would never find him.

Any hope of this plan working was quickly erased when he suddenly found himself surrounded by some kind of blue aura, and the fact he was floating 5 ft in the air! Jaune tried to let out a screen for help, but his voice would not come out of his mouth! This terrified him at the same time, as he saw the lid of the trash can he had opened out of curiosity lift up with the same psychic force.

Out of the trash heap was the creature that looked cute but menacing at the same time, considering the fact it was using some kind of psychic semblance or whatever to float the young man in the air. As for the creature, he merely wiped its hands of its cheeseburger meal and closed the lid with its psychic power before floating over to the young man in question.

"Well, well, well, it looks like someone saw me when they were not supposed to see me."said the creature, who was somehow talking even though its mouth was not moving.

Jaune couldn't help wondering how it was talking.

"I'm speaking to you using telepathy, silly."said the creature, pointing to its head when it said that.

That is when Jaune, who still could not speak, realized that this creature was somehow reading his mind!

"Why aren't you saying anything? Oh yeah, I'm preventing you from speaking. Okay, you can now talk to me, but if you try to stream for help, I will shove you in that garbage can."said the creature, pointing to the garbage can in question.

Not wanting to be covered in garbage, Jaune quickly agreed by nodding his head.

"Okay, now you can speak!"said the creature, allowing the young man to speak.

"H.. Who are you?"Jaune inquired, as that was the biggest question he had in his mind.

"I'm Mew, and what is your name?"said the creature who identified itself as Mew.

"I'm Jaune..."said Jaune, figuring he couldn't lie to a creature who could read his mind.

"Hi Jaune. I'm Mew. Now why were you peeking in the garbage can watching me eat a cheeseburger?"inquired Mew, wondering why the young man did such a thing.

"I was just looking for a place to sleep, and that's when I heard you mumbling to yourself in that trash can. Why were you eating a cheeseburger in the trash?"Jaune couldn't help but inquire.

"Because someone threw away a perfectly good whole cheeseburger, and I was not going to let it go to waste."said Mew like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Jaune honestly thought that was a little gross, considering the fact that cheeseburger was in the trash.

"It was covered in wrapping, so it's good."said Mew, reminding the natural blonde that he could read his mind.

"Sorry."Jaune quickly apologized.

"Now, what should I do with you? I was not supposed to allow anyone to see me when I came to visit your planet. Arceus is definitely going to get mad at me if he finds out that I let a human from this planet see me. Hmm... how should I keep your mouth shut?"Mew pondered to himself.

"... Look! You don't have to do anything! I won't tell a soul I saw you! I don't even have any friends around who I can tell!"said Jaune quickly and nervously, hoping to convince the cute and powerful creature in front of him not to hurt him.

"Hmm... well, I just read your mind, and you appear to be telling the truth. Honestly speaking, you're pretty pathetic.. No friends, no family anywhere, and running away with nothing but the clothes on your back hoping to gamble everything on fake transcripts was pretty pathetic."said Mew, revealing that he knew everything from the transcripts to pretty much everything else about Jaune Arc.

"Okay, reading a guy's mind and learning every secret he has is just rude."said Jaune with a blush on his face, honey but to believe that every secret he knows was now known by some creature called Mew.

"Hehehe, you're a pretty interesting guy."said Mew, who found the young man interesting.

"So, now you know I don't have anyone to tell. So can you please let me go."said Jaune, hoping to get out of the situation and move on with his life.

He had already failed at his dream of entering Beacon Academy, so being tortured by some kind of cute kangaroo cat creature definitely was not something he wanted.

"Hmm... Since it seems like you need to win, how about I make you a deal that will make you very happy."said Mew, who floated over to Jaune and began looking him around by floating around him in a circle.

"What kind of deal?"inquired Jaune, wondering what this creature had in mind for him.

"Jaune Arc, how would you like the idea of being a Pokemon trainer?"Mew inquired with a smile on its face.

"Huh?"The young man couldn't help but say.

"How would you like to go to another world like a video game and explore it to see what it has to offer you! Think of it like this, you can go to the Pokemon world a few hours every day, train up a Pokemon, and create a Pokemon team, all while earning money and respect the same time.. It's the best choice for a loser like you at this moment."said Mew, who is now being a little mean at this point.

"Okay, what the heck is a Pokemon? and what is a Pokemon trainer?"Jaune couldn't help but inquire.

"Hmm... I suppose I could explain that to you right now, but I'm still deciding on what region to send you to."said Mew before floating over to a nearby wall.

"I think this young man could go to any of the following regions. Should he go to...Unova... Alola...Hoenn...Galar...Or Paldea... I personally believe Unova, but what do you guys think?"Mew inquired, even though there was no one there.

"Who are you talking to?"Jaune couldn't help but inquire.

"That's none of your business. Now, what do you say, Jaune Arc. Are you interested in my proposal?

Jaune just bit his lip as he wondered what the heck was going to happen to him since his gut was telling him that something beyond him was about to happen to him. Now, the only question is, would he be able to handle it?

Only one way to find out!

I decided to replace PokeArc Return with this fanfiction story!

Now to explain to anyone who is confused, Jaune is basically being offered a chance to go to the Pokemon world a few hours a day before coming back to Remnant like nothing happened..Think of it as playing a pokémon game, only it's real life and you get to go home after you're done playing for the day.

I'm also giving people the chance to vote on which region Jaune should be allowed to go to?

Unova?

Alola?

Hoenn?

Galar?

or

Paldea?

I'm not including Kalos at the moment since I'm planning to use that for another fanfiction story. Anyway, which region do you think Jaune should go to.

Personally, I think Unova would make an awesome choice, but that's just my opinion. What do you guys think?

The vote system will last a few days, and the region that is chosen with the most votes will end up being the region Jaune gets to go to every few hours a day.

In time, the story will get longer and more complicated, so please read thoroughly in order to truly understand it. I really hope I did an amazing job with this story and let you guys give it a lot of support.

Anyway, don't be afraid to leave a vote, and hopefully, I will hear a lot from all of you.

Please have a great rest of the day, everyone, and I will see you next time!

Goodbye for now.
