I do not own a single thing that has anything to do with the following at all.
'Where am I?'
Those were the thoughts that were coursing through Bruce Wayne AKA Batman, who currently found himself in quite the predicament. Just a moment earlier, he had stopped his arch nemesis, the Joker from destroying the city by filling it up with joker venom. The Dark Knight had just handed the clown Prince of Crime over to Police Commissioner Jim Gordon when, out of nowhere, a golden portal absorbed him out of nowhere.
Now, this wasn't the first time Batman had found himself in quite the predicament since he was a founding member of the Justice League after all. For those that don't know, the Justice League is the superhero team consisting of the world's most well-known superheroes!
Now Batman has had his fair share of battles against good and evil and, at times, come blow to blow with his allies. But never in a million years did he expect the Golden Portal to appear out of nowhere and absorb him inside.
"Who are you?"said a voice that Batman did not recognize.
"Who are you?! Why did you bring me to this place!"shouted the Dark Knight, responding to the question with a question.
"I needed a strong warrior, and you were the most likely candidate I could find at the time. Now why don't you tell me thy name?"inquired the mysterious voice.
"Batman."simply responded the world's greatest detective.
"Bruce Wayne. You can hydro identity from the public, but not from me. Thy has been chosen for a task of epic proportions."said the voice, causing Batman to growl with anger.
"Bat-Mite, I swear if this is you..."said Batman, wondering if this was his biggest fan pulling another stunt again.
"I do not know who this Bat-Mite is, but he sounds very annoying."responded to voice, clarifying that he wasn't the annoying imp from the fifth dimension.
"Who are you?"inquired Batman, wondering what the heck was going on.
"I go by many names, but the people of my world call me Arceus. I am the original one who created my world, and you are a creation of another world. Thy has completed the impossible time and time again despite being only human, and it is that very reason that you have been chosen for this task."said the mysterious voice, clarifying that Batman was chosen because he has done the impossible again and again.
"I have absolutely no idea why you chose me and why you brought me here, but if you think I'm going to agree to this willingly, then you have another thing coming."said Batman, who tried to look for the source of the voice so he could convince him to send him back to Gotham City.
"I'm afraid you don't have a choice in this, Bruce Wayne. You have been chosen to go to the land of Hisui to save it from a great evil. Go to Hisui, and master the ways of Pokemon in order to complete your task. Once thy task is completed, you will be returned to Gotham City and Earth in one piece. One who has sworn to protect the innocent would not turn his back on anyone, would they?"inquired the mysterious voice, causing Batman to quiet down as he begrudgingly agreed silently in his head.
"I guess I don't have a choice in this."said Batman begrudgingly, realizing that whoever kidnapped him would never let him go until he completed this task he was assigned to do.
It was not the first time something like this had happened to him, but it was the first time someone was so brazen about it. He could clearly tell that whoever kidnapped him had immense power, as not just anyone can summon someone to another world without great power!
"Keep Gotham City safe in my absence, and you have a deal."said Batman, willing to compromise if this mysterious being was willing to protect Gotham in his place.
"Simple, so it is agreed. Now, I bestow to you a tool to help you in your endeavors."said the mysterious voice before a golden light appeared in front of Batman.
A moment later, a golden light enveloped the entire dark space, and Batman saw a creature that he had never seen before. The beast itself towered over Batman, standing twice as tall as the man but feeling even greater, as if he was a mere ant and it a human. It stood on four legs, the white of most of its fur accented by dark gray on its lower neck and underside. Three horns adorned its head, two small ones pointing up from the sides and a grand one on the back - or maybe it was more of a mane? Its hooves shone like pure gold, and around its waist was a cross, almost circular in design, shining the same gold as its hooves and adorned with emeralds matching its eyes. It had no mouth Batman could see, but to his shock, it somehow began to speak directly into his mind. That was about the only detail he could see thanks to the Golden light enveloping its body.
Batman then saw his smartphone that he used as Bruce Wayne appeared in front of him before it was enveloped by golden light. He tried to reach for it, but it was in that moment that he free fell through the void to a place unknown.
And as he was falling, his mask came off!
Bruce could only see his mask falling into the darkness as he passed out from what appeared to be shocked to his nervous system as he found strange information being downloaded into his brain! One moment, he was okay. The next moment, he found himself learning about these creatures he had never seen before. He could feel his brain downloading this information, and it soon became so overwhelming that he quickly passed out!
The last thing Batman / Bruce Wayne and saw before completely passing out was the creature looking at him with determination, like it was expecting him to succeed.

[Hisui Region: Prelude Beach]
"Wake up!... I SAID WAKE UP!"shouted a voice that Bruce did not recognize.
He quickly opened his eyes and saw that a middle-aged man was looking back at him. There, in front of him, was a middle-aged man with dark skin, lavender eyes, and black hair. He has a stubble mustache, wears a purple and white hat with a pom-pom on the top, a white labcoat with some kind of emblem, a purple shirt with white collar and cuffs, black bow tie, brown vest and matching striped trousers and brown boots.
That was not the only thing Bruce noticed in that moment. He saw three creatures that he did not recognize.
He quickly deduced that these must be the Pokemon creatures that mysterious golden creature was talking about.
The first pokémon is a small, bipedal mammalian Pokémon with bluish fur on top of its body and cream-colored fur on its underside. Its eyes are usually seen closed, and it has a long, thin snout. Its arms are short, but its legs are slightly more developed and have a single nail on each foot. On its back are four red circles that appear to have the power to produce flames
The second Pokemon is a small, avian Pokémon resembling a young owl with a round body and short legs. Its plumage is primarily beige with a white underside and facial disc. The facial disc itself is in the shape of two overlapping circles. It has large black eyes and a stubby beak. The top part of its beak is white, while the lower half is orange-brown. Its feet have two forward-facing toes and one backward-facing toe; they are the same color as the lower half of its beak. Two leaves sprout from its chest arranged to resemble a bowtie. Additional leaves form its tail and line the undersides of its wings
The third and final Pokemon is a bipedal sea otter-like Pokémon. It has a spherical white head with small, triangular dark-blue ears on the sides. Oshawott's eyes are dark, and its dark-orange nose is shaped like a horizontal oval. Several freckles cover its cheeks, which may be premature whiskers, and two pointed teeth can be seen when it opens its mouth. The light blue fur on its body forms bubble shapes around its neck. Its arms are white and rounded, while its feet are dark blue with three toes each. It also possesses a rudder-like dark blue tail. It appears to carry a pale yellow seashell on its belly.
"Ohhh... Do wake up, won't you?"said the man in the lab coat, looking at Bruce with concern.
Bruce, in that moment, felt like he could control his body once again, so he quickly decided to get up.
"Are you alive, Sir?"the man in the lab coat inquired once again.
"A little banged up, but I'll be fine."said Bruce says he touched his face while getting up, and it was not a moment that he quickly remembered that he didn't have his cowl covering his identity.
Granted, that was probably a good thing in Bruce's opinion. Since, unlike his old world, him wearing a mask could strike the wrong chords with the locals. He quickly looked over them at the man and realized that this time period of this world was somewhere around the early 19 to 20th century based on his clothing. He did not know how far technology was, but if he knew anything about old culture, it was that they were extremely superstitious. So it was probably a good thing that he lost his mask from the fall...
"You gave me quite the shock, falling from the sky like that... But thank goodness, you seem unharmed!"said the man in the lab coat, pointing to the hole in the sky where Bruce fell from.
Bruce quickly looked over and couldn't believe that he had fallen from such a great hiding yet didn't have a single broken bone in his body. He then quickly deduced that it had to be that mysterious golden creature that was behind this. It probably kept him alive for the sole purpose of making sure he would complete the task it assigned to him.
Who are you...?."Bruce inquired, wondering who this man was as learning who he was could be beneficial.
I'd like to ask you the same! I mean... you fell out of the SKY, you understand. Come now—who in the world does that?!"said the man of the lab coat, who did make a good point.
"My name is Bruce, Bruce Wayne. I'm... from a faraway land."said Bruce, who told the truth as he had no reason to hide his identity on this world. He was also technically telling the truth that he was a foreigner from a faraway land... a very far away land...
"I must say, your clothing is...unusual. You wouldn't happen to have an acquaintance in these parts, would you?"said the man in the lab coat, who looked over Bruce's armor and wondered if he was some kind of warrior from another land or something.
"No... I don't know anyone here."answered Bruce, telling the truth since he didn't know anything about this world, other than the mysterious inhabitants called Pokemon.
"I see... You seem to be in a bit of a pickle. Might I offer some directions? Do you have somewhere around here you could stay?"inquired the man in the lab coat.
"No... I think I can manage."said Bruce, as this isn't the first time he's had to live off the land.
During his training to become Batman, many of his martial arts teachers forced him to live in the wild and do things like eat what he could find, how to clean water properly so I can be drinkable, all of that stuff. He knows you can survive in the wild if it is a necessity. The only problem was that he didn't know much about the wildlife of this world and wasn't sure if they were dangerous or not! He also wasn't sure if you could deal with the wildlife here, since from what his mind was telling him, these creatures called pokémon had the powers like breathing fire, controlling grass, shooting out with electricity, etc. He had to be very careful and make rational choices while in this situation.
"I see... Well, no gentleman would abandon a person in such need!"said the man in the lab coat before he appeared to remember something.
"Oh my, I'd completely forgotten! I had just caught up to these three runaway Pokémon when you tumbled out of the sky... It's almost as if they knew you'd appear here!"said the man in the lab coat, causing Bruce to look down at the three pokémon.
He didn't know why, but he felt a sort of connection with one of them. He wondered if this had anything to do with the mysterious golden pokémon that sent him here. Either way, he had to make sure he needed to stay in one piece. Otherwise, he could end up in quite the predicament.
"Ah, but do you even know what a Pokémon is?"inquire the man in the lab coat.
"I can't say that I know what a Pokemon is."responded Bruce, who was telling the truth as his information on Pokemon was limited.
"You... you don't? You truly have traveled a long way, haven't you? Well! These three here are what we call Pokémon. Very mysterious creatures, you see. Marvelous."said the man of the lab coat with a smile.
"Oh, but I do apologize! I haven't even introduced myself! My name is Laventon. I am something of a Pokémon Professor. That is to say, I'm a scholar seeking to deepen our understanding of Pokemon. Yes, Pokemon such as these three here, whi—"said the man known as Professor Laventon. Before the three Pokemon that were accompanying him suddenly ran off.
Oh, blast and bother! My darling Pokémon! Why must you run from me again?! I'm terribly sorry, but do you think you could help me round them up? I beg you! Wait, you three! Waiiit."shouted Professor Laventon, who ran off before Bruce could even respond.
"Well, he's an interesting character. I better not lose sight of him. He could be my only shot at finding any form of civilization in this wild land."said Bruce while looking around, noticing that the landscape was quite untamed.
If this was an Era that he was familiar with from his history, then he was sure there were not a lot of human settlements in this area. Bruce could survive in the wild if he needed to, but he figured he should get to know the lay of the land and see who is the major players of this land, that way he knows who to keep an eye out for should any of them get in the way of his task!
But the first thing was that he needed to keep up with the professor.
"Professor Laventon, please wait."said Bruce before he ran after Professor Laventon.
Just as he was about to run after the professor, he saw a strange looking device near a giant boulder. Bruce quickly walked over to the vice and saw that it was his smartphone that had been converted into some kind of new device with a strange looking protection case around it. It was similar in design to the creature who sent him here in the first place.
That is when Bruce heard a beep coming from the device, just as he was about to pick it up. He quickly picked it up and looked at the device to see words scribbled on the front.
This is your Arc Phone, a helpful tool for your journey.
Your mission is simple: Save Hisui!
The world's greatest detective didn't know what this broad mission meant, but he knew one thing was for sure. This was going to be the most interesting adventure he has been on as of this date!
Now the only thing to do was to catch up to Professor Laventon, help him round up his Pokemon, and convince the professor to take him to the nearest human settlement so he could establish a base of operations.
The only question was that if any of this was going to be possible before nightfall!
There is only one way to find out!
I decided to write this story because I was thinking of what reason would Batman most fit in...And the answer I came up with was Hisui! It's the perfect land for his skills, since he'll need every ounce of training he has to master the ways of Pokemon and quell the Pokemon Nobles from their frenzy!
The starter Pokemon will either be Cyndaquil or Rowlet!
I'm still deciding, but I should make a choice in the near future!
