Chapter 1: The Beginning

It was the greatest day of Troy Johnson’s life. He was actually in the top sixteen of the Pokemon Trading Card Game World Championships! He was winning this game too! His field consisted of Flaaffy active, with two Quilava and a Mareep on the bench. His topdeck was... AMPHAROS PRIME! YES! He evolved his active Flaaffy into Ampharos Prime. Just at that moment, a fairly large meteor crashed on the other side of the planet, in the Swiss Alps. As it happened thousands of people played a pokemon just as the meteor crashed. All of a sudden, Troy was enveloped in a thick smoke, and everyone watching the game started to think he was cheating. When the smoke cleared though, Troy wasn’t there. In his place there was an Ampharos. He said “Woah! What the heck was that?” But all the humans heard was “Ros! Ampha!”

The same thing happened to all the other people who played a pokemon just at that time. All the people who were transformed were relocated to secret locations all over the world. There was one in Australia, right on the coast so water pokemon can have plenty of room to swim. There was one in the Himalayas, so ice types have free reign over all in the mountains. There was even a preserve in the United States, for many different kinds of pokemon. The population of pokemon were growing, as they were creating eggs. The pokemon made these by choosing a medium sized rock and focusing all its energy into it. Then it became an egg.

Troy was sent to the one in the United States. He had been there for about two months, well that was what he thought since he didn’t have many ways to keep track of the time, when a whirring sound was heard from overhead. It was a helicopter and it was heading towards the beach. Troy met up with his friend Kevin, who was a Kanghaskan, and followed the helicopter for humans were a rare sight in the preserve. By the time they reached where the helicopter landed, the human was outside it with a microphone announcing something. As they got closer they could understand it. He was saying, “This area has been decided to become a pokemon Safari Zone. Our scientists have recently created things called “Poke Balls” for humans to catch you with. If you are caught by a human, that person is now your master and you must follow any orders given to you. That is all” The man climbed back into the helicopter and it left immediately. Needless to say all the pokemon were outraged. “How can they do this?!” a Taillow twittered. “This is terrible!” screeched a Zubat. Troy then climbed on top of a large log and demanded their attention.

“Hey everyone! We can all agree this is a terrible thing for the humans to do to us, but the most we can do is make the best of it. If we are captured just follow the orders. We’ve all played the pokemon games before, so maybe we can make the world just like that!” All the pokemon sort of nodded in approval, but they were still flustered that they could be taken from their homes and their families to travel around with some strangers, and forced to fight each other. But Troy was correct, the most they could do is make the best of it.

Well you guys, hope you like it. Got this idea a while ago and I've decided to put it into writing. Will probably update whenever i feel like it.

Chapter 2: The First Visitors

It was still a couple of weeks before the first people heard about the Safari Zone and decided to try their luck. It was probably because of the price of the visits, $20000 per person is pretty bad. Anyways, the first people to show up was a family. There was a scrawny boy and his two parents. All were blonde, about average height, and had a strange air about them. The mother split up the Poke Balls as soon as they got into the Safari with each person getting ten Poke Balls. The boy ran off straight ahead, as the mother shouted at him to be careful, then the parents walked off together.

The child ran on until he saw his first pokemon. It was a Hoothoot, but to him it was the best thing he’d ever seen. He crawled on his hands and knees to get behind the Hoothoot while it was eating seeds out of the dust. Then with a thundering battle cry he shouted, “YOU ARE MINE!” and jumped out of the bushes. The Hoothoot flew away and the boy whipped a Poke Ball at it. It raised its wings a bit and flew higher to evade it. The Poke Ball fell to the ground and the boy retrieved it grumbling something about stupid birds.

The parents walked off in a completely different direction, and they found a Zigzagoon. They lowered their voices to a whisper so as not to scare it, then they started telling each other that the other person should catch it. It went back and forth like this for a while and then the pokemon heard them. Zigzagoon flung sand at them using its hind legs, and dashed off into the bushes. All of a sudden they heard a noise from behind them. Standing there, staring at them was a teddiursa. This Teddiursa was one of Troy’s few friends, but the humans didn’t know this. The mother immediately threw the Poke Ball to catch it. It hit the bear pokemon on the crescent mark on its forehead and it got sucked right inside. Teddiursa was weakened from a battle with a Metapod a while back, and so the ball wiggled a few times on the ground. Then it clicked and stopped moving. The first pokemon had been caught.

Probably going to get to Chapter 3 or 4 tonight then going to take a break from wrting

Chapter 3: Troy is Caught

Troy was simply wandering through the forest searching for some food when he spotted the human. He was a small boy, probably not older than nine or ten, but he was quick. He spun around with a speed like lightning and threw the Poke Ball straight for the orb on Troy’s tail. Luckily he dove into the dust and escaped being sucked inside the red and white ball. Troy went for a mad dash to the bushes, but the child was hot on his heels. Suddenly another ball whizzed past Troy’s face, and he tried to pick up the pace. Ampharos aren’t very fast but if you had seen this one run, you would have thought differently. Troy wasn’t paying attention to where he was going, as his only thought was to get away from this human. Suddenly his face hit rock. Oh no! He had accidentally run to the Cliffs of Gravel! There was no way out except the way he came in, and the child was right there! Troy was stunned and on the ground from hitting stone, and by the time he recovered and stood up, the boy was standing in front of him and about to throw his Poke Ball. Troy, being weak from hunger was unable to escape in time. He saw a red light, then there was darkness. He could feel himself shaking, but didn’t know why. All he knew was he was terrified. All of a sudden there was light, and he was standing in front of the boy who had hit him with the Poke Ball. Troy had been captured with a Poke Ball.

The boy explained who he is. He said his name was Jimmy and Troy was his new pokemon. Then Jimmy noticed the tag that hung around Troy’s neck. Troy kept it since the transformation because it was his good luck charm, and it had his name on it. Jimmy started to talk again, “So, your name’s Troy? Well Troy we’re going home after I find my mom and dad and try to catch more pokemon.” “Amphy amph!” Troy replied, which translates to “well ok I guess...”

Jimmy didn’t end up catching any more pokemon, but his parents caught a few. His mom still had the Teddiursa and she had also caught a Poliwag, and his father had caught a Hitmonchan and a Geodude. They then headed home since they were all out of Poke Balls to catch things with. It was only an hour to drive from the Safari Zone to their home, and Troy had to stay in the Poke Ball. “It’s just like being asleep,” he thought”except there isn’t that tired feeling you get when you wake up. The home was medium sized, a very big yard though which Troy liked a lot. There was even a little fountain in it. “It might not be the greatest place in the world to live,” Troy thought,”But it’s home”

So Troy has been captured, it was even just by a little kid XD Anyways next time there will be some more stuff in the story.

Chapter 4: A Brand New Journey

After about a year, Troy and Jimmy were getting along really well. They were best friends, and sometimes they just played together for hours. Then, the government announced that after testing, the pokemon they had tried releasing into the wild had chased off all the animals, so there are none left on the planet. They are now stocking the globe with all different kinds of pokemon, so trainers can actually leave on their own pokemon adventures. So, pokemon labs were set up in every major city in the world for new pokemon trainers. On Jimmy’s tenth birthday he decided he wanted to leave home to try this. His mother did not want him to go, but his father said he could as long as Troy was always with him. So the day afterwards they left.

They headed out from his hometown in West Palm Beach, Florida and decided to just wander around a while before deciding what to do. Jimmy stopped at a market and bought some Poke Balls just in case he saw anything rare he wanted to catch. They headed south towards the Everglades before seeing anything interesting. They were walking down a road right next to a lake when Jimmy exclaimed, “Wow what is that!” Troy looked out at the water where Jimmy was looking and saw a couple of Magikarp flopping around on a small island. He had received a Pokedex from the professor back home, so he flipped it open and pointed it at them. It read “Magikarp a water type pokemon, this fish pokemon is not eaten much because it is just skin and bones.” Just at that moment a Magikarp leaped out of the water in front of their face and flopped around on the road. Jimmy decided he wanted to catch it, and tossed a Poke Ball at it. The ball just wiggled around a bit and then clicked. “Wow the Pokedex wasn’t kidding about them being weak huh? I caught it with one Poke Ball.”

So the pair traveled on, with Jimmy in front and Troy following behind. Any time any pokemon challenged them, Troy was able to zap it with his electrical powers and that ended everything. Eventually they reached swamplands, and decided to stop at one of the new pokemon centers for the night. It was here that Jimmy realized what he wanted to do. The nurse of the center asked if he was going to be challenging the pokemon gyms. When he asked what she was talking about she said, “The pokemon gyms are new facilities open all over every country. There are eight in each country and by defeating all eight gym leaders you gain access to the national championships of that country.” Jimmy decided this was his destiny, he would beat all the gym leaders, win the national championships and become the greatest pokemon trainer ever! They found a map and located where the first gym they would challenge was. They found it and saw it was only about three miles from West Palm Beach. The two of them, pokemon and trainer, decided to go back home, say hello to Jimmy’s parents and then begin what would probably become an amazing adventure.
