This is a separate project from my other unpublished wip fanfic, Guided By The Unknown (aka the one with Sequo and the Voice) with no connections to that one. For criticism, keep in mind I'm still somewhat of a beginner so it may not be the best or the longest, nobody is perfect when starting out. But now, it's time to start the fanfic!
Chapter 1
I opened my eyes, seeing a place I didn’t recognize. I appeared to be in a small clearing in between trees, and as I looked around, I did not know where I was. In fact, I did not remember anything about how I ended up here, where I was, or even who I was.
I walked through an opening in between the trees, soon seeing a small town nearby. The place was a lush and somewhat forested area, with occasional patches of snow. Based on the fact there was a bit of snow but it wasn’t that cold, I could assume it was somewhere in spring.
As I reached the town, I noticed an old-looking man wearing a scientific-looking lab coat. I entered the town through the trees and walked up to the man, asking him:
“Hey there, do you happen to know where we are right now?”
“This place is known as Twinleaf town, a small town in the region of Sinnoh.”
At least I now had an idea as to where I was, and although I did not remember hearing of a place called the Sinnoh region or Twinleaf town, at least it put me in a slightly better position of knowledge than before.
“Thank you, kind stranger.”
“You may just call me Rowan. I am a professor, researching pokemon evolution.”
“Alright then, nice to meet you, Professor Rowan.”
“What might your name be?”
“You see, I don’t remember. I’ve lost all of my memories for some reason”
“Intriguing. I suppose I could help you try to regain them.”
Rowan seemed like a friendly person despite his stoic exterior, and now he was considering helping me regain my memories. Maybe he could eventually help me know who I was and why I was in this unfamiliar place.
“What would you get from the deal?”
“You can help me with a project of mine called the Pokedex.”
“And what might that be?”
“It’s an encyclopedia that gathers information on pokemon.”
While I was a bit hesitant on helping a stranger, I didn’t really have much of a choice. This could be the only way for me to gain my memories back and figure out who I was.
“Sounds like a good deal to me.”
“Tell me, do you have a partner pokemon?”
“No, I don’t have one.”
“I suppose I can give you one if you so wish.”
Rowan opened his suitcase, revealing three spherical objects that were red and white with a dividing line in the middle.
“What are those?”
“These are known as Pokeballs. Each of them contains a pokemon inside.”
First, Rowan sent out a pokemon from the pokeball on the right side of the suitcase. It was a turtle-like pokemon with a small leaf on its head.
“This is the grass type pokemon, Turwig.”
Next, Rowan sent out another pokemon from the pokeball in the middle. It was a monkey-like pokemon with a small flame on its tail.
“This is the fire type pokemon, Chimchar.”
Last, Rowan sent out a pokemon from the pokeball on the right. It was a penguin-like pokemon with small patterns resembling droplets of water.
“This is the water type pokemon, Piplup.”
“Are these… for me?”
“Indeed. You may choose one of them to start off your journey.”
I looked at the three pokemon, and in the end, I decided to choose the fiery monkey pokemon. The choice was a difficult one, as all of them seemed like good picks, but I knew I could only pick one.
“I choose Chimchar.”
“Very well. Come to Sandgem town on the next route, my lab is over there.”
