Author's Note

Warnings before you read!

My fanfiction is rated T for a reason and also to be safe. There will be sexual innuendos and perhaps a little bit of action. There will definitely be hints of ChessShipping (ToukoXTouya) and FerrisWheelShipping (ToukoXN). There may be hints on DualRivalShipping (BiancaXCheren); though I don't plan on having any hints on CheckmateShipping (ToukoXCheren).

I don't plan on having any hardcore violence, gore, blood scenes, torment, torture, or rape scenarios though I can sometimes want to be a dark, evil person so it may happen. IF TO BE HAPPENING THERE WILL BE A WARNING AND RATING WILL CHANGE. There will be strong language at some parts and maybe some mild-ish violence; such as slapping or other little things like that. If I do decide to do any of these things, it will probably happen in later chapters. All in all, I'll more than likely warn you in an Author's Note before those things happen in a chapter.

Hello to anyone and everyone who will be reading this! :) I would love criticism, helpful that is, although being a little soft would be nice as this is my first fanfic. I would also like to warn you beforehand that a lot of the time I get writer's block or get bored of writing a story, which results in me not editing/posting in weeks and sometimes months. I usually get a spark and I'm like: "Woah! I need to write moar!" Then proceed to write a few chapters.
I would like to do a bit of explaining about this fanfic as well as give a little summary.

The basic design of my fanfiction came from the desire to want to write a story based upon a new game in Pokémon Black. So I started a new journey and, upon hitting Nimbasa City, I decided I really wanted to put my plan in action. I don't plan on writing every detail of my journey, though I will most definitely add in random parts and it won't take me like five minutes to go through a route like it does in the game. It's going to be a bit anime-based as well; meaning that my Pokémon will be touching and amazing despite type differences (think about Ash in the anime) and that all the excess trainer battles will not be included. This does not mean that my Pokémon will be invincible though, a few of them will die but I will more than likely not lose a battle. My Pokémon, like the anime, will know more than four moves as well, though I think I'll keep the maximum around six moves.

Now, things about the characters you'll be seeing a whole lot throughout the story.

Touko

Touko will be the main character, also known as myself! I won't be using my real name I use in my game nor will I be using her English name, Hilda. The reasoning for that is that I think Hilda is an unattractive name (No offense to any Hildas out there! You're beautiful!), and that Touko is a very pretty name that suits the female protagonist. She doesn't think that much about what she really wants to do in life, just grabbing any opportunities that jump out at her; deep down inside though, she knows her heart's desire is to explore the world, meet all kinds of trainers, and learn all there is to know. She also loves the mythology of the Pokémon world and she enjoys learning about it in her spare time. I think her personality can be described as thoughtful, solitary, friendly, and kind yet tenacious and resolute. When confronted with frightening situations or conflicts, she will put on a strong face and attempt to overcome it, though in reality she is just as scared as anyone, perhaps even more so!

Touya

Touya will be a more secondary-type main character as he won't appear that often. Once again, I apologize to any Hilberts, I just don't like the English name for the male protagonist. Touya is Touko's childhood friend, along with Bianca and Cheren, and, though they both don't like to admit it, they do have a crush on one another. He will be journeying on his own, separate from Touko as he's older by a year and started his journey earlier. Like Touko, Touya is a bit of a loner, though he will be more than glad to have company. He is also strong-willed but his fear usually doesn't show unless the situation is very bad; he's a very brave soul. Touya is also very protective of his friends and will go to all sorts of heights to help them.

Cheren

Cheren, another one of Touko's childhood friends, is a character you'll be seeing a lot of as he appears in the game quite often. As I'm guessing a lot of people have already played or read about Pokémon Black/White, you probably know his personality but I'll just tell you my interpretation of it anyway. Cheren is a brutally honest, yet bright individual who has a lot of knowledge and likes to flaunt it. Often times when he speaks he is sarcastic and usually has some witty remark to say. Though very intelligent, Cheren also is impatient and sometimes very abrupt or rude. He yearns to make himself stronger and stronger, often times becoming quiet and thoughtful when he loses; habitually changing into a blunt and slightly rude Cheren.

Bianca

Bianca, another friendly face you all should know as well as one of Touko's childhood friends. She appears, in my opinion, just about as often as Cheren does so you will more than likely be seeing her a lot as well. Once again, I'm sure you all know Bianca's personality, but I'm going to say my interpretation just so you can picture her. Bianca is a shy soul, though she's very sweet and friendly when she opens up, which doesn't take too long. She often goofs off or gets sidetracked easily, though once yelled at she clams up or when told to do something she runs off in excited panic. Bianca can be a bit airheaded at times and she isn't quite sure what she really wants to do with her life. Eventually, after hanging out with Professor Juniper for a while, Bianca thinks that being her assistant would be a fun thing to do!

N (Natural Harmonia Gropius)

Okay, this is where a few of you may or may not get mad at me for my interpretation of N; especially if you're hardcore N fans. N grew up as an orphan living in the forest where his only friends were Pokémon, these Pokémon also cared for him and loved him like their own child. One day, he was found by Ghetsis and brought into Team Plasma to train to become the king. I don't think you guys really needed a backstory for N, but, whatever. In his time alone, N studied much about the world, even going about as far as spying on the people as he grew older. (Here's where you guys will begin to dislike me.) N grew to be a very wise and slightly manipulative person, though his heart was dead set on the many ideals he held true. At times he could even appear to act conceited, though that isn't truly the case, he is simply very determined to make his ideals the reality.

Now, the reason you will probably hate me is because, in my story, N isn't innocent at all. He's been out in the world and he's even met a lot of people, he's also nineteen in my mind. He knows a lot about everything and, at times, he can be dark and frightening to almost anyone. He doesn't let many people see this side of him. The reason he is dark is, because he was separated from humans, he learned to despise most people and get what he wants. When people don't do what he wants or how he wants it done, it can anger him. This doesn't mean he isn't that understanding, if someone he deems worthy slaps him with reality or tells him off, he'll become quiet and talk to himself, often thinking their words over. In other words, this N is a bit bipolar. :P

Now, that's most of the main characters. Others like the Gym Leaders, the Elite Four, Alder, Professor Juniper, Cedric Juniper, and so forth will just be randomish.

Now that all the boring stuff is out of the way, it's time for your full (terrible :3) summary! :D

Touko, a young girl at the age of sixteen, is beginning her long awaited journey into the Pokémon world. Accompanying her are her friends, Cheren and Bianca, who she runs into occasionally. Along her journey she'll meet countless people and Pokémon, growing stronger in both her mind, body, and soul. What will happen when she runs into an evil gang of people trying to separate Pokémon and humans and turn the world upside down? Along the way she'll also meet a mysterious man by the name of N who seems to hide secrets of his own. Though the biggest surprise is yet to come as she soon learns that the truths she speaks could lead her on a destiny she never thought she could have!

Chapter One: The Beginning

Touko yawned, pulling the blanket over her head and grumbling about the light that had begun to lay across her pillow. "Sometimes I wonder why the sunlight has to show its face before I get up." Touko grunted, turning over to face the wall.
"Oh Touko! Are you still asleep?" Touko's mother's voice rang into her ear, coming from downstairs.

"No." Touko called back, lifting her head from the blanket before heading back underneath it.

"Well, I sure hope you aren't! Professor Juniper is coming in two hours to give you, Cheren, and Bianca your present!"

...

"OH YEAH!" Quick as a flash of lightning, Touko was jumping out of bed, stumbling around for she had gotten up too fast. "This is so exciting my first Pokémon that's actually mine!" Touko grinned ear-to-ear and squeezed her pillow she was hugging. "Gah! I can't believe it!" She threw the pillow back onto her bed and ran downstairs, her feet thudding on the steps.
"Slow down there tiger! You still have two hours until she comes. Have some breakfast, it's going to be a big day you know."

Touko nodded, still grinning, as she tugged down her bright pink sleeping shorts and smoothed out her white tee with a picture of a Munna and Musharna. "I know, I'm just excited; it's going to be my first Pokémon ever!" Touko clasped her hands together, dreamily looking up at the ceiling. Her mother laughed, setting a plate of chocolate chip pancakes, four pieces of bacon, two patty sausages, scrambled eggs, cinnamon toast, and a bowl of freshly cut berries from the garden. "Wow mom, do you really think I'll eat all of this!" The two of them laughed as Touko hungrily picked up her fork and lathered the pancakes with butter and began to dig into them.

"Well, I'm sure with your appetite you can sure try." Her mother winked at her and began to eat her own platter of food. "So do you know what Pokémon you'll be picking?"

Touko tapped her chin, she had thought about it and she was quite sure which she would like. Swallowing her food and downing a gulp of Moomoo Milk, she answered. "Yeah, I think so. I really, really love Snivy so I think I'll pick a Snivy." Touko's mother nodded, smiling at the eager tone.

"What about your friends? Do you have any idea what Pokémon your friends will be picking?"

Touko nodded, part of the reason she wanted Snivy was because her friends wanted the other two so it worked out perfectly. "Cheren wants a Tepig and Bianca wants an Oshawott."

"Well isn't that perfect! There will be no fighting between the three of you!" Her mother smiled, finishing up her plate of food and bringing it to the sink. "Professor Juniper should be coming within the hour so I'd finish up and get presentable." She laughed, pulling on some rubber gloves and beginning to wash the dishes.

"Oh right, right!" Touko shoved a few more mouthfuls of berries into her mouth, drinking down the rest of her Moomoo Milk. "Thanks mom! It was a wonderful breakfast and now I'm super full!"

"I wouldn't doubt it! The way you ate everything on your plate!"

"Mooooom!" Touko blushed, rubbing her stomach and disappearing up the stairs.

...

Once in her bedroom, Touko closed the door, locking it firmly and stripping down to her underwear. The brunette hurried to her closet, throwing out dresses and outfits all over the floor and bed. "What to wear, what to wear." Touko's eyes scanned over the outfits strewn across her floor. "Whatever I'm going to wear I'm going to want to be comfortable, durable, and of course a little stylish!" Smiling, Touko grabbed a pair of slightly short shorts that showed the tips of the pockets as well as a plain white t-shirt, which flattered her cleavage nicely, and a black vest to fit over it. Touko tossed the outfit onto the bed with a fresh pair of white, plain underpants and a matching white plain bra. She grabbed her white hat with a pink cover and a pink Pokéball design and set it on top of the clothes with a pair of black socks as well. "Voila! The perfect outfit for the perfect journey!" Touko smiled with her handiwork and shrugged off the rest of her clothes, skipping into the bathroom. The brunette carefully stepped into the shower, turning it into an almost scalding hot temperature and began to furiously scrub her skin with a soaped up loofa. Touko sang out happily, even pretty good, as she rubbed her face with a cleanser and then poured a bunch of shampoo into her hair. "I can't wait! I can't wait! I'll be nice and clean for my journey! This is going to be fantastic!" Touko twirled around in her shower, slipping and tumbling onto the floor, knocking a bunch of bottles over in the process.

"Touko?!"

Touko faintly heard her mother's cry and she hurriedly began to pick up the bottles. "It's fine mom!" She shouted back to her mother, giggling with giddiness as she washed out the rest of the shampoo and lathered her hair with conditioner.

Touko's mom let out a half-laugh, half-sigh, placing some bread dough into the oven. "Lie-lie?" Touko's mom looked down, seeing her Liepard place it's paws on the counter and look up at her with concern.

"Oh Liepard, I'm fine. Just when Touko gets so excited, or even frightened for that matter, she can get clumsy."
"Liepard, lie." Liepard rolled her eyes and nodded in agreement, hopping over to lay her body across the couch in a spot of sunlight.

...

Touko spat into the sink, smiling at herself in the mirror, enjoying the sparkle her pearly whites had after brushing them. Two fluffy, white towels covered her body as she applied another facial cleanser to her face and washed it off. "A beautiful face needs no makeup!" She laughed and smiled, opening the bathroom door and dancing into her room. She tossed aside the towel that was bundled on top of her head and let the towel covering her body pool around her feet. Touko pulled on her underwear and then quickly pulled on the rest of her clothes, sparing a glance at the clock. "The Professor will probably be here soon!" With newfound vigor, Touko brushed her hair, putting it into a high ponytail and two strands framing her face. The brunette placed her cap on her head and sat on her bed, pulling on her socks and then black half-boots with pink laces and bottoms. Taking one last glance at herself, Touko smiled into the mirror and grabbed her pink over-the-shoulder bag and scrambled downstairs.

...

"You know you care too much about your looks when your own friend beats you to your house to get Pokémon." Touko laughed, recognizing Cheren's sarcastic voice.

"Cheren! Please! I wanted to look good for our journey!" Touko smiled, the two exchanging a fistbump and chatting about the starter Pokémon they were going to choose.

"Listen, Tepig has been and always will be my first choice. He's strong, tough, and he's got the looks to kill, like me." Touko laughed at Cheren's comment, rolling her eyes.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. I think it's because you know Snivy's weak to a Tepig." Touko teased him back, punching his shoulder lightly.

"Nuh-uh! That's just the way things worked out." Cheren shrugged, laughing along with Touko.

"Ding-dong!" Cheren and Touko glanced up as they heard a voice call outside the door.

"They're here!" Both of the friends laughed in excited unison and scurried to the door.

"Hi Professor! Are those the Pokémon?" Touko grinned, taking the wrapped up box from the lady at the door.

"That they are Touko; Snivy, Tepig, and Oshawott." Professor Juniper smiled, waving at Cheren. "How are you Cheren?"
"Fine Professor, how are you?"

"Good as usual, thanks for asking. Well, anyway, I've got to skedaddle. I was in the middle of research at the lab and remembered I had this appointment to catch! I hope you enjoy your Pokémon and remember to visit me at the lab after you've decided who you want!" With that Professor Juniper gave a short bow and briskly walked away.

"See ya Professor!" Touko waved out the door, cradling the box in her other arm. "Let's go Cheren! Up to my room!" Touko grabbed his wrist, running to the stairs. "Mom! Send Bianca up!"

...

"Ugh. Where is that woman?" Cheren frowned, staring at his watch angrily and laying across the bed. "We told Bianca what time to be here and now it's almost ten! You did tell her nine thirty, right?"
Touko nodded, picking up the last of her clothes she'd thrown out of her closet and picking them up. "Of well look at the bright side, I got to clean my room before she made it here!" Cheren rolled his eyes, glaring at his watch and chewing on a piece of bubblegum absent-mindedly. "Listen, Bianca can be a little bit... flighty at times but she's still our friend. We should've learned to deal with it by now."

"Yeah, yeah. She is late a lot of the time, but, come on! Today's the day we get our Pokemon! I don't think she could've missed today's time!" Touko just shrugged, she agreed with Cheren's harsh words but she still loved Bianca.

"I'm here! I'm here!" Bianca suddenly burst into the room, huffing and puffing for breath.

"Finally! What took you so long Bianca?" Cheren frowned, sitting up on the bed and frowning at the blond-headed girl.
"I forgot! I slept in a little too! My dad was also hammering me with lectures and I had to-"

"Whatever! Come on, our Pokémon are here!" Cheren grinned and stood besides Touko who was beckoning Bianca over to the box resting on her table.

"Oh boy! Oh boy! I can't wait to get my little ol' Oshawott!" Bianca clapped her hands with giddiness and looked over at Touko. "You open it Touko!"

Touko nodded and grabbed the tip of the bow, pulling it so it untied. "Here we go!" Touko grasped the box's cover and took it off, throwing it onto her bed to reveal three, shiny Pokéballs. In front of each of them was a nametag that stated what Pokémon was inside and the moves they knew.

"Alright, I think since they were delivered to Touko's house, Touko should pick who she wants first." Cheren advised, glancing at the two of them for approval.

"Naturally." Bianca agreed, nudging Touko with her shoulder.

"I think since we all know who we want we grab that Pokéball! If we each grab the same Pokéball we'll work it out from there!" Touko announced, which both of her friends agreed to. "In that case, on the count of three we grab the Pokéball and let our starter see the world! 3..., 2..." Touko took in a deep breath and together the three friends shouted in unison.

"ONE!"

They each grabbed the Pokéball they wanted; Cheren grabbed Tepig's Pokéball, Bianca grabbed Oshawott's Pokéball, and Touko grabbed Snivy's Pokéball. At the same time, the trio released their Pokémon with flashes of white.

"Tepig! Pig!" The small bundle of orange and black snorted and blew smoke from it's nose.

"Wosha! Wott!" The blue otter-like pokemon threw up it's hand and grinned at the friends.

"Snivy! Sniv! Sniv!" The green Pokémon smiled as it was released, hopping into Touko's arms and grinning. "Snivy!"

Together, Touko, Cheren, and Bianca laughed, welcoming their new friends into the world.

Author's Note

Voilà! I have finished chapter one and I am quite happy with it. I think the length is pretty good, though I wonder what you guys think. Anyway, chapter two is done and chapter three is a work in-progress. I'm liking the story so far and at the moment I'm quite happy to continue it! I forgot to mention that my story may not be super detailed, I 'll try but no promises. Anyway, here's my very first fanfic for all of you and I'd love to know what you think!
