"They're gone." Max bent down and tenderly picked up the shaking Pokémon. Her eyes were the prettiest shade of red, like she had jewels for irises. "You're safe now." "Scor?" Scorbunny looked up and craned her neck. There were still tears in her eyes. "Scorbun?" "I promise," Max whispered and stroked her fur. "I won't hurt you. I'll protect you." (-◉-) Max Hickory, son of the Pokémon professor Evelyn Hickory, has been content living as a normal school boy; no traveling, no tournaments, no drama. Despite this, when his partner Cinderace and best friend confesses her love after two years, he drops everything, embarking on a journey to discover what kind of relationship they could forge in a world where Pokémon and humans, despite their bonds, never joined in love. But never in his wildest dreams could Max have imagined the forces he would discover, the powers he would unlock, or the lives that would rest in his hands. He encounters friends and enemies, both new and old, as he faces against gym leaders, unveils the language of Pokémon, ignites the wrath of an ancient clan, reveals the true potential of Mega Evolution, and stands against an enemy that threatens the balance of life and death itself. All the while, Max must stay true to the values that have guided him thus far: so long as he holds the power to protect others, it is his responsibility to use it. No matter the cost. Quick note: Just so you know, this is not a "reader x Pokémon" kind of book, and it's clean too. I just couldn't find that many good and clean Pokémon books (unless it's about Ash) but they're out there. Thanks for reading! Ranked #1 for Cinderace in November 2022 I don't own the background picture used for the cover. I don't own Pokémon. I only own my original characters and this story.

Frequently Asked Questions: Q - What's special about this fanfiction? A - The books have an architectured story, from mysteries to time travel. From being awfully childish to brutally mature. Also, the protagonist ages. Q - Who are the Main Protagonists and the rivals? A - Red, a character from the Pokemon Video Games is the main protagonist along with his best friend Leaf. Whereas the character Blue (also known as Gary in the anime) is more of a frenemy than a rival. The main rivals would be Team Rocket Grunts - Cassidy and Butch as well as their Boss, Giovanni. Q - Is this story based on Pokemon Red or FireRed? A - The story has a few iconic moments from the games/manga but those events do not play a big part in the main story arc. Q - Is Ash Ketchum in it? A - The story takes place in its own universe. I try to bring some events from the games, the manga, and the anime. You get to see a different version of Ash Ketchum (close to how he has been depicted in the anime) in 2 chapters of this book. Q - Is Team Rocket the same as in the anime? A - While Cassidy and Butch are characters from the anime, they have a different overall character arc than in the anime. Team Rocket is darker than in any previous versions and has a purpose and a plan other than stealing. Giovanni's plan plays out slowly in the course of three books. Q - It has time travel? A - It does, time travel is hinted at in the first book with the actual "time traveling" in the second book. Q - "I hope the protagonist has a father, hahaha" A - Yes, he does. The character mostly appears in flashbacks but is an important character.
