All the World's a Pokemon - IC

Sandgem Town

From a far distance and because of all the trees obscuring his view, the town seemed like it would be bigger, but this was really the entire town. There were only five buildings. If anything, it seemed more like a village than a town. Upon closer inspection, John could also see that the town was also situated along the side of a beach. John walked down the street and towards what seemed to be the town center. The building he happened across was a steel colored building with an orange roof and a red banner running around the bottom of the roof. Right above the glass doors was a white emblem resembling a ball split horizontally with a small, white dot in the middle of it. As John stared up at the emblem, he heard two voices from his left flank.

"Ok then, we will just go to the center to check your status and maybe book a room, also we must go to the mart, better safe than sorry isn't it?"

"Another foreigner? and what´s with that armor?"

John slightly turned his head over to the duo, using only his peripherals to see them. It was quite a strange sight. Unlike many of the humans wandering the street, there were also wildlife wandering them as well, or at least that's what it seemed like at first. One of them was a golden, bipedal fox wearing metal-toed boots, cargo pants, and a long-sleeve shirt with a vest over it. The other was some kind of freakish cross between a bee and a honeycomb. The creature had three, conjoined, honeycomb heads, a wing coming out of each side of the top heads, one antenna coming out of the forehead of the top heads, an orange, sticky substance oozing out of the bottom head, and the thorax of a bee situated behind the heads.

John covertly turned his head back to the emblem, hoping not to draw attention to himself. If he had learned anything about the local wildlife, it was that they were dangerous. John's first encounter with the local wildlife, a giant stone snake with a horn on its head, only solidified his conclusion. That was also when John found that all of his abilities had diminished. John tried to break the creature's stone skin and should have shattered the boulder-snake, but all he could do was crack its segments. Not only that, but when John tried to escape, his running speed was slower than normal. John quickly snapped back to reality after a couple seconds of thinking. Those two creatures were still staring at him from his left flank. John had little hope for his tactic, but maybe if he stood still and stared at the sign, they would leave him alone and go away. John wasn't afraid of them, but he didn't want to start any conflicts while in such a diminished state.

Snowpoint City

Koishi finally entered the rather small city of Snowpoint, and the fact, that in truth, it really wasn't much of a city. There was one of those pokemon gyms she'd seen once, and there was a pokemon mart and center opposite each other. She headed over to the pokemon center, and went inside. Luckily, it was much warmer inside, and not much business was happening. She went up to the nurse in the center and gently put the little Snorunt on the counter.

"I found this little fella while I was walking along, and saved him from a couple of Sneasels." Koishi explained.

"Oh, the poor dear." the nurse said. "We'll fix her up and be right back."

Koishi nodded in thanks as she went to the back, leaving Koishi to sit in a chair and wait. Didn't really matter though, she picked up a little book about the city from a shelf, and read it.

Oldale Town
_____________

Chung was resting in the Pokemon Center in Oldale Town...

It had at least been in this new strange world for a good week. When he woke up he found himself in his normal civilian clothes in front of a Pokemon Center. Unfortunately his armor... his Destroyer... everything was gone. Even his precious Guardian Stone. Not only that but he found himself slightly weaker than before... almost as though he never went through Guardian Training his entire life.

That's when Chung took out a small ball the size of a baseball. It was red on the top, and white on the bottom with a black stripe along the center. In the very center of it there was a small white button. After Chung woke up here a week ago he asked the nurse in the Pokemon Center if she knew where he was. Unfortunately he was in no town he had heard of... The nurse had also asked him if he had a Pokemon...

Chung had no idea what a Pokemon was at the time, and when he told her she told him that he would need one if he ever wanted to explore this world safely. The nearest place a new trainer could get a new Pokemon was in Littleroot Town. The nurse who went by the name of Joy had kindly given him a map, and told him where to go.

Chung had followed the map and ended up in a very small town. In the town he followed Nurse Joy's directions and went to a small lab where he would meet Professor Birch who would have given him a Pokemon of his own. Chung eventually found Prof. Birch, and was given a small Pokeball. When Chung opened the Pokeball what appeared to be a small brown baby crocodile had emerged from it. The Professor had told him that this Pokemon was called Sandile. A Pokemon from a different far away place. Luckily the Professor let Chung keep the Pokemon which he had now named Sandbite...

Skip forward a few days and now Chung is now resting in the Pokemon Center of Oldale Town. He now wonders what to do next...

Sandgem Town

Renamon noticed the armored man's stare tp the cemter so she spoke

"If you are wondering, that is a pokemon center, here you can rest as if it is an hotel and heal your partners" she spoke referring to the combee

"Anyways it is suggested that you ve careful with weaponry, the wild life tends to attack if you go by tall grass and related areas, going through paths show them you mean no harm unless you start a skirmish" the vixen explained pointing to tje armored man's weapon

"Well, if you need any assistance, we will be inside" Renamon excused herself as she and the combee entered tje pokecenter

The nurse quickly reacted seeing the fox, but stood to her work. The fox put Diana in her sphere and handled it so she could heal

Meanwhile, Renamon booked a room in the case they take some rest

Snowpoint City

After a while, the nurse came out, holding the little Snorunt.

"She's all better." the nurse said. "But she might need a little bit of recovery time. Why don't you keep her for a while, she needs the rest."

"Sounds good." Koishi replied. "Is there anywhere that I can get some sleep?"

"Well, we do have a hotel upstairs, just head up the escalator and rent a room." the nurse said. Koishi simply nodded in response and headed on the escalator.

Hoenn Region - Petalburg City

Yuuka took a quick shower in the shower room under the attic and stepped out. She noticed through the full-length mirror that she still had the large gash from the fateful night on her upper right thigh. Brushing through the gash, she relived the primal fear that she felt in that event.

But they looked so cute and cuddly.

Look at Ziggy, the Wilton family's Zigzagoon. He helps out with Reggie's pumpkin and potato farm, delivers packages and letters to and from towns, and offers himself as a playmate for Violet. He first ran way from Yuuka due to his territorial attitude, but Yuuka and Ziggy now has a likability for each other.

With mixed feelings, Yuuka dressed up: dark indigo skintight shirt given by Violet, white long-sleeve jacket and matching white pants with red belt. She slung her clutch handbag over her shoulder, the letter inside, and stepped out of the house.

"Alright." Yuuka renewed her motivation. "Let's do this."

Oldale Town-Hoenn Region
_____________________________

Chung had continued to ponder on what he should do next...
"I guess I should go to some other town... if I want to try and find out where exactly I am..." He said as he stood up. He then took out his map, and saw that the nearest town was Petalburg City. "Well... I guess I'm off to Petalburg City huh?" He said as he took out his Pokeball. He then called out his Sandile.

"Okay Sandbite time to come on out." He said as he tossed the Pokeball onto the ground. When he did Sandbite emerged from the Pokeball in a brief flash of light.

"Uh... oh... hi... what was your name again? Chung?"

"Yea... so Sandbite are you ready to go to Petalburg City?"

"Sure why not? I might not know what this Petalburg City is, but if you want to go then I'll be happy to tag along!" Sandbite replied.

Chung then chuckled as he stood up. "Okay then! To Petalburg City!" Said Chung as the two then left the Pokemon Center, ready to head off into Route 102.

"Hey Sandbite you don't mind if I keep you out of your... ball right?" Asked Chung as his Sandile looked at him.

"I don't mind one bit!" Replied the young Sandile as they both made their way to the beginning of Route 102...

Black City

Young Xehanort had just arrived in the world of pokemon. Supposedly this was his next location. He didn't remember what he was supposed to do here, only that he came here because he had something to here. Before going to this world he had done quite a bit of research as he was recommended to do before traveling to any other world. Supposedly this world had a very rich wildlife known as pokemons. This wildlife could be captured in small balls and be used to battle for a person. Not that he actually needed any of that. He had the power of darkness on his side. What did he have to fear.

When he arrived however he immediately noticed that something was wrong. He didn't have the power of darkness anymore or his power over time. He tried to get back out trough the Corridor of Darkness, but it closed before he got to it. Things didn't go as planned. He was stranded in a world where dangerous wildlife roamed. Luckily for him he had arrived in a dark city. After thinking about it he figured he would have to follow the plan whatever that may have been any just find a way to battle in this world. Maybe he would remember what he was supposed to do here as time passed on.

After looking around for a while he finally found what he was looking for. A few pokeballs, a pokedex and a map of the area. Now all that he needed was a pokemon. After looking around at the marketplace it did look like there was people selling all sorts of things, even pokemon, however they were way to expensive. In the end he figured he might have some luck at a pokecenter. A place where people with these pokemons could come to have them healed up and at the same time buy new items. Once he explained that he needed a pokemon to one of the nurses they went of to find something. When they came back they carried a small ball with them containing a pokemon. Inside was a pokemon called Nincada and it was all his to keep. Excellent, now he just had to find out where to go next.

Snowpoint City

It wasn't very dark outside, though Koishi was tired. It had been a long day, saving that Snorunt and all. After booking in a room, she made a little bed for the Snorunt on the floor next to her own bed. She kept her clothes and hat on, and tucked into the bed. Then, and odd noise entered her ears, in the form of two simple words.

"Thank you." came a voice. Koishi looked around the room for the source of the voice, but the only other being in the room was the Snorunt. She made a little smile.

"You are welcome." Koishi quietly replied, before dozing off to a deep slumber.

Sandgem Town

John was surprised that the golden, bipedal fox could talk. He heard her talking before, but to get a full view of it was much different, it was surreal. John thought of the many creatures he had seen in his journey through this new world. Could they talk as well? What amount of intelligence did they have? It was a slightly uncomfortable thought, thinking of intelligent rock-snakes capable of forming battle strategies and executing them without difficulty. If that was the case, then John would have to be more careful around the local wildlife. As for the talking, bipedal fox, it seemed as if she was not a threat, so perhaps he could gather intel from her. She did say what this building was and advice on the dangers of this world, so she seemed like the kind of being that was willing to help.

John looked to his left, then right, then at the Pokemon Center's glass doors. It had become apparent that the local wildlife were called "Pokemon" and that they could be domesticated. As for this Pokemon Center, if what the bipedal fox was saying was true, then John had stumbled across this world's equivalent of an animal hospital, a vet. John was getting somewhere in terms of knowledge, but he still needed to know what planet he was on, what year it was, and how to get home. Should he follow the fox? She was knowledgeable and friendly, so there was little chance of getting attacked, right?

John let out a long, quiet sigh as he looked at the bipedal fox inside the building. John didn't like to rely on others, but this time he had little choice. John walked towards the building, hoping to get the help he needed. The doors of the Pokemon Center were obviously designed for the average person in mind, seeing as how John had to duck in order to enter the building. As John entered the building, almost everyone in the Pokemon Center stopped to stare at the armored, green giant. It probably didn't help that John had guns on his back and hip. For all they knew, John could have been a heavily armed robber. John knew that he looked threatening, but he could do little about it. It wasn't like he was going to remove his armor, and he definitely was not going to leave his weapons lying around. God forbid if anybody found one of them and accidentally shot themselves. John would be held accountable. After looking around the room, John finally approached the bipedal fox. John was not used to asking for help and felt somewhat awkward doing so, but with some luck, he just might pull it off...

"Excuse me, I'm new around here and I have little to no knowledge of how things work around here. Is there any chance that you could tell me more about this place, or where I could go to find out more?", John politely asked the bipedal fox.
