Pokémon

It's been a hard, hard (knock) life for Rallen. Born a lonely orphan in the slums of Castelia City, all Rallen wanted in life was to be a Pokemon Master. Of course; this wasn't a unique dream. Every child in the world of Pokemon dreams of being the "very best". Yet, one day, everything changed (As everything usually does).

On the day before his 10th birthday, he found a discarded Pokeball inside a trash-can. Rallen realized that, by catching a Pokemon, this was his chance to register for the Pokemon League Challenge. While searching, he comes across a trainer disowning a Pawnaird for "poor stats". Rallen offers his friendship to the Pokemon, who gladly accepts it in a heartbeat.

Flash-forward to the present and Rallen is about to challenge the Unova Champion, with Bisharp leading his team. Will Rallen win? No spoilers, but; this isn't that kind of a story.

This is a fan-fiction derived from a personal pitch I had drafted out years ago of what I thought a Pokemon movie should be like. This is still fairly rough, and I doubt it will be anything close to perfect.

My intention was to adapt the Pokemon universe in a way that wasn't necessarily "grounded" or "realistic". In my mind, an adaptation of Pokemon should be a representation of what the Pokemon world is, and what it means to people.

Rather than rework the anime, I have taken characters from the games and reinterpreted them to follow a narrative. My mission is to make these characters feel organic to the story and my vision of the Pokemon world. The main character is an original creation (Which is incredibly daunting), and I plan on incorporating the Pokemon into the plot as much as the humans.

Overall this is an experiment. And, I LOOOOVE Pokemon.

Speaking of which, I don't own Pokémon. Pokémon is the property of The Pokemon Company, Game Freak, and Nintendo. It is not my intellectual property. There is no financial gain made from this nor will any be sought. This is for entertainment purposes only
