Twenty year ago there was a man with a plan. For as long as history of the Rockets can recall all Rocket plans have been stopped some way or another. This was when he had the idea. It took years to complete but eight years after the idea was hatched it was put into motion. It all started twelve years ago. NO one took the rockets as a threat back then. That was until they froze Kanto. The plan was simple, freeze a region and plunder it for everything they had. Just like dominos, each reason fell to the same fate, until only one region remained. New Nagano had always been a large Rocket headquarters but no one ever though that this peaceful region would turn into a corrupt land in which its own people were held prisoners. It was a sad thought but like everything else in the world, life does move on. For the last ten years people have returned to a normal state of living. People working for average jobs, with average hobbies, an average life. The only real change was the high taxes to be paid to the rockets for your “safety”, well that and pokemon trainers. In this world a pokemon champion was near the tippy top of the world. Every child grew up wanting to be a champion, but as the world had changed, becoming a champion seemed nearly impossible. To be a champion you have to collect all gym badges, and collect them you have to be an official trainer. It wasn’t how it used to be when you could just walk out with a pokemon and a dream. Now you had to be the best, go through testing and pay certain “fees” to become an official trainer, though some could have their way bought in if the price was right. Each year there are always around two hundred applicants, which are slowly narrowed down to the six with the highest hopes of success, or who can pay the largest price tag. That is where the story begins, the small town Oleander, where the journey has begun for the last ten years. The trainers are here to meet there mentor in a small dimly lit restraint. The pouring rain keeps most inside, waiting for the arrival of their guide. Attachments:

Dana ran in as fast as she could. She crinkled her nose in frown as she saw the restraunt's lighting. She loved everything bright and beautiful. Just like her. At that she smiled, fingering her neon pink hair. "This is going to be fun. This is going to be fun. This is going to be fun." she kept saying to herself in reassurement. She closed her eyes, standing there for awhile. She imagined the restraunt happy and bright. So, she stood there a long time, waiting for it to seem so in her mind.

Joseph honestly didn't know how he managed to get selected to be one of the chosen six. He was a mediocre trainer, with a bug, a candle, and an amorphous blob as his Pokemon, not to mention a big, hulking, armored dinosaur that had a thing for eating cars. Aforementioned Pokemon were all in their capsules, except for the amorphous blob of a Ditto, who was currently stuck to Joseph's shoes.
The fifteen year old tried to shake Izzy off of his shoes, but the Ditto stuck tightly onto them. Exasperated, Joseph remained seated in the restaurant. He was at a small table designed for one, maybe two people, with his messenger bag and laptop atop it. Four Pokeballs, among several other things, were inside of the bag. An old school Pokedex was also inside, a gift from his father.
Joseph adjusted his bandana so that his brown bangs were falling out of it. He was by no means tough, and the wire framed glasses were a stark contrast with the blue bandana, but said bandana made it seem like he was. A tough, lanky blogger with a puddle of a Ditto on his shoes. Absolutely.

Dana saw a boy, after giving up. She brought her Smoochum with her to the table he was at. "You here for the same reason?" she asked him, adgusting her skirt. He wasn't too bright and beautiful, either. This made her frown.

Izzy reformed into shape that was somewhat recognizable as a Ditto when the girl approached. He slid up Joseph's leg and onto the table, staring at her with wide, black eyes. Joseph looked up at the frowning girl. Had he already done something to displease her?
"That depends on what reason you mean," he replied nervously.

She smiled, seeing as she had to keep to the way she was. She sat with him. "Then I'm probably with you. Who would go to this restraunt for no reason anyway?! It's not happy." she frowned again to finalize her thought. She eyed the Ditto with disgust, but went back to smiling, putting her head in her hands. "Soooo..." she started with a bright giggle.

Ryu shivered violently as she entered the dimly lit restaurant. The twelve year old held her puppy pokemon in her arms. She was having trouble breathing since she had bound her chest too tightly in her haste. But with her seemingly flat chest, her short hair, and her loose clothes, she could be mistaken for a boy. A very young boy. "Ai," she whispered to her Growlithe, "why did they have to make this place so scary?" She looked around nervously, wishing this weren't so awkward. Her other pokemon were all in their pokeballs. She didn't want them out, anyway. They weren't pets she loved, they were monsters she used. Only Ai was close to her. "Grow," Ai proclaimed. Ryu couldn't help her small smile, she held her puppy closer.

Joseph still didn't know why the girl was here. He watched as she sat down, and had half a mind to respond with, 'Well, the world's not exactly happy, so...' Her look of utter disgust at the sight of Izzy caused him to frown. Her abrupt change in mood just confused him further.
"So, erm..." He held out his hand. "I'm Joseph." Izzy held out a pinkish appendage. "And that's Izzy."

Dana looked confused at everything, and was further disgusted as she shook Izzy's.... appendage... "The world is the happiest place one can be" she giggled "These people should honor that." she smiled playfully. Smoochum was on her lap now.

He had been staying in the upstairs room above the restraunt for almost a week now. It was cramped, lit worse than the restraunt's and it had an odd smell to it, so by the time the date they were suppose to leave hit he was ready to make his way on the first part of his journey. He headed down the stairs and into restraunt. the only people there were a couple "every dayers", a woman at the bar with a couple shot glasses empty around her and a small group growing. This was the place where all the champions met, everyone knew that, though even with its reputation no one besides a select view ever entered without being a new trainer.

Ethan, slowly walked into the building, his steps making no noise since, he didn't wear shoes, but rather two pairs of socks. His pants fit fine, but his hoodie was much too large, the long sleeves nearly touching the floor when he walked with a hunch. The hood had two large black buttons, sewn on with white string so they looked like odd eyes. He glanced around, his facial expressions blank, his dulled eyes seemed grey. Seeing a frightened looking small girl as soon as he opened the door, even in this dimly lit place you could see his shadow, though it seemed to shiver and inch closer to its owner, there was also the faint red outline around it that made it seem unnatural. As he approached he grinned, the rest of his face and his eyes remained emotionless. Though Ethan was quite small, he was in fact sixteen, he had a disorder that made him seem more like a small child. He then spoke, a small voice that though he was speaking at normal level seemed a bit like a whisper," Hello, scared little child." Though he was about the same height. He reached out a hand, covered with an over sized sleeve and spoke again," Are you going to venture out into the scary world, with pipe dreams of becoming a Pokemon master?"

As Dana was shaking Josephs hand also,she was looking around. She jumped up and gasped as she saw Ethan. "That's not happy at all!" she yelled, backing away...

Kei looked around the room, looking at all the people he assumed to be trainers. He let out a sigh and took out the letter invitation he had received weeks prior. He walked past the bar and towards the door and said "I'm guessing by the different types of people talking here, it's about this?" He held up the letter, every other trainer should have received as well.

"Eek!" Ryu exclaimed, taking a single step back from Ethan. "What do you want?" she asked, clinging to Ai.

Ethan looked from Ryu to Kei, deciding who to speak to first, so a letter emergeed from his sleeve and he lifted his arm up as he spoke to Ryu," Nothing little one, I'm not here to hurt you." His other arm was still outstretched to the girl, the excess of his sleeve flopped around.
