The world of pokemon. A fabulous place were pokemon and humans work together for many different reasons. Its filled with pokemon trainers, breeders, coordinators, rangers, and the gym leaders. Now of course you know the regions of the worlds. The Kanto region,Joto region, Hoenn region, Sinnoh region, alman region, and fiore region. Well there is a new region around that is called the Aren region. This is home to all the pokemon from the other regions. For starter trainers, you don't just have three choices, you can choose any first evolved pokemon around. Of course, when there is a new region there is always a new group of pokemon theives. The known theives for the Aren region is called team shatter. They are more heartless then all of the other groups from the other regions combined. Now as you all travel on your journeys, you will make friends, get new traveling companion, get badges or ribbons from the 8 gyms and competisions, face team shatter along the way, and make it all the way to the Almen league to face the other top trainers.

Travis walked down the forest path. He didn't know where he was. He didn't care either. He was getting to the point of not caring much anymore. He was happy and that was all that mattered to him really. A trainer his age usually retired. He was actually wondering why he didn't retire earlier, as most seemed to go in their late 30s. Here Travis was, in his forties, and was still running a gym. He sighed at his luck.

That was probably the reason he didn't retire. He loved this journey too much, and loved his team too much to retire yet.

Where he was though was not a big thing in his mind. He was in a new region now. A region he didn't know anything about. He'd only been here about a month. Ritchie did most of the battling as gym leader in his gym, mostly because Travis liked nature too much.....and the fact that he was very hard to beat in battle. 30 plus years had made him one of the most feared trainers of the world. Some called him a hammer in battle, a hammer that shaped the sword. Travis didn't like his fame but lived with it. It was his success that gave him four years leading the Kanto Pokemon League, and it was success that got him to where he was today. However he didn't deserve the credit. His team did. Travis loved each and everyone of his pokemon. And he made sure they were given credit in battle.


Travs sighed and stopped wlaking. Gill, who was walking beside him looked up. "Squirtle?"

"I'm fine, Gill." Travis said to his companion. Gill was his first pokemon of his team, and more powerful than any normal Squirtle. This Squirtle was famous in Kanto. This Squirtle brought down pokemon that would normally defeat a Squirtle. This Squirtle was like a pokemon made to break the rules.

Travis sighed again. "Why did I take this job here? I barely know this place...I'm missing our little island outside Vermillion."

Gill smiled, and simple said "Squirtle."

"Good to know somebody's having a good time..." Travis sighed giving a soft laugh.

Finally the Island was coming into view it was about time thought Rengai as he reached for his gear and started stuffing his potions and ethers into the satchel. Shortly after he grabbed it Ember jumped up placing his forepaws on Rengai's leg, "Cynda, Cynda", it cried looking up at its master. "I know Ember were almost there", he said ecstatically looking down at the little fire Porcupine. He took a deep breath of the sea air and smiled down at Ember, "You smell that buddy its a fresh start, hopefully there Gym's will actually be a match for us pal", he said patting Ember's head. Ember jumped up onto Rengai's lap as the ferry docked and then climbed onto his shoulder as Rengai walked across the dock taking his first steps into the Aren region. "Well I'm not sure what town this is but they may have a Gym, Ember your ready to go maybe we could even find another friend here", he said walking towards the Nearest pokemon center, "I know we haven't done much lately but I can see you need a good nap", he said now carrying Ember in his arms. For some reason Rengai never put Ember in a pokeball if thought it was wrong why couldn't Ember be just as free as him.

He had already finished training, and was walking back to his Gym in the middle of an increasingly bad storm when Nicole showed up. Why she chose to come to him for help was beyond him. The Seventh Gym wasn't THAT far, and where Leath was, it was cold, windy, the storms could be bad, the wild Piloswine and Snover laughed at the Types of Pokemon she used, and it was rough terrain, you had to pretty much hike everywhere. Trainers had reasons for coming out here, they needed a badge. She was already a Gym Leader, and therefore, didn't need a badge.

Whatever, he turned to face her, she was always a fast talker. "Hello Nicole. I would help, but, it's going to snow. I would rather not get caught outside. The storms here could get terrible, and I have a Gym to run. I did send a few kids who skipped your Gym and the Seventh Gym your way though. Not sure where they are now, probably looking for you." He would sigh as he contemplated something. He would hand her Three Hyper Potions, something that a Tier 6 Gym Leader would use. "You should always keep some of these on hand, perhaps you'd have won if you did. Part of being a Gym Leader is being prepared." She was young, she still had a lot to learn, and, somehow, the league made her the Sixth Gym Leader. Well, he couldn't question their decision, if they thought she was ready, she was ready.

His Froslass was hard to see in the snow, a result of her Snow Cloak ability. As such, she would scare local Sneasal with snowballs thrown from seemingly nowhere, enjoying herself immensely. Snow was common, and Ice Types usually thrived in it. Some even healed wounds with it.

(Hey Adrian, small problem, I don't think we're in Sinnoh...)

(Okay I should have made this clear to everyone and sorry I didn't. I did want everyone to start in the new Region. I was trying to think of names and all for the towns and cities and stuff. Well we can just say you were already in the region and just go from there.)

A teenage girl was looking out the window from her cabin room. She sighed as she watched the seemingly never ending ocean float bye her with all different pokemon swimming around.
"Leaf?" came a sound from behind the girl. Tulip turned to look at Dante, her Leafeon. The Verdant pokemon was looking at the brown haired girl with her head cocked. Something seemed to be troubling the 16 year old. Tulip giggled as she bent down and rubbed Leafeon's fur.
"Sorry Dante. I'm just kinda bored waiting to get to this Almen region." she told her. Leafeon licked the coordinator's cheek and nodded her head as if agreeing.
"Don't worry sis. We'll get there shortly." came a voice from the door. Tulip looked up to see a guy with brown hair and a tree looking pokemon standing at the door.
"Sudo!" the Sudowoodo named Emett cried out from next to the guy as if telling Tulip to be patient.
"Yes I know Ben. I'm just a little anctious to get to my first competition in the Alman region." Tulip said to her older brother. Ben seemed to be in thought a little bit and then nodded.
"Hm, yes I know what you mean. I am anctous to get to my first gym battle also." he said as he thought about another gym badge. Suddenly a horn honked rather loud and both siblings looked to the door, smiling. This was signaling that the bot how now docked and it was time for people to get off.
"Lets go big brother." Tulip said as she took out her pokeball and put Dante back in it. She sped out of the room after grabbing her things, Ben looking at his pokeball as she passed.
"Wait Tulip. I'm coming." he yelled as he placed Emett into his pokeball, grabbed his things, and raced to catch up with his sister, stepping off the boat.

"Hm, pretty boring I say. Don't you agree Dark?" asked a breeder as he stroked his houndour who he had named Dark. The Houndour shook his head as if to say "No. I'm enjoying relaxing." Trace chuckled a little and nodded.
"Hm yes. It is fun to just kick back and relax withought Team Shatter trying to steal you and the others or worrying about sis." he said with a sad sigh. The red head had a lot to deal with. Either the gang of the Almen region(Team Shatter) would try to steal his pokemon or his sister would get hurt on one of her missions. Trace's sister was named Rose and she was a pokemon ranger. She always dealed with tough situations since she was at a pretty high rank. She always seemed to get hurt to since she is pretty young, 18. Dark barked at him and jumped at him which nocked Trace over. Trace chuckled more as he sat back up and hugged his houndour.
"Alright boy. I understand. I won't worry about anything right now." he said as he went back to brushing Houndours fur. Houndour barked with pleasure and was soon asleep.

After all the rest Ember dove off the pokemon bed and into Rengai's sleepy arms he purred waking him from his slumber. Rengai stared down at Ember who seemed extremely excited he grabbed his back while Ember jumped up onto his shoulder. After paying the pokemon center they left heading into the forest to get some training done before they entered the Gym on the shore. It didn't take long for them to see a spearow pecking at a pichu, "Hey bird leave that mouse alone", he said as Ember jumped off his shoulder and closed the gap between them he growled at the Spearow and stood awaiting Rengai's words. "Ember Flamethrower now", shouted Rengai. Ember opened his maw and a jet stream of fire rippled past the Spearow. The Spearow jumped into the air and circled around Ember from above it used gust and fired it at Ember. Ember jumped out of the way in time to catch the Spearow with another stream of fire. Wounded and scared the Spearow flew off cawing madly. The pichu ran behind Rengai clinging to his ankle as it watched the battle beyond. "Chu, Chu", he cried scared as the Spearow flew off. Rengai reached down and picked up the Pichu, "Ah Pichu eh, well I'll take you to the pokemon center and we'll get you checked out if you want you can join me and Ember", he said as Ember jumped up onto his knee and purred happily, "Would you like that Ember to have a new friend I know we could sure use another friend", he said as Ember let out a stream of fire because of all the excitement. Ember jumped up onto his arms and then onto his shoulder as Rengai held the little Pichu and walked out of the forest heading once again for the pokemon center.

Travis continued walking down the forest path. Unaware of where he was going. Gill walked happily gy his side. Travis didn't know this place at all, and was beginning to regret coming here. He stopped and scratched his head.

"I don't know where we are..." Travis said. Gill jogged ahead to the top of a small hill, and looked.

"Squirtle! Squirt squirt squirtle!" he called to Travis.

"What's up bud?" Travis asked looking to his Squirtle. He walked over and saw what Gill saw. A small town.

"Well, it's a good find I'll say." Travis said smiling and rubbing his companion's head. "Perhaps I can finally get a map of this region."

With that, Travis offered a hand to his partner, and lifted him onto his shoulder. Then they both went for the town. His first stop however with the pokemon center as usual...


***********

It took him about 15 minutes to finally reach the town, but once in, he saw how small the town really was. Next to the ocean, but not that big. Travis looked around.

"Wow...haven't seen a town this small since Pallet." Travis said to himself. Travis continued looking and finally spotted the usual building.

"Pokemon center ahoy." he said to himself and walked into the building.

He walked straight to the counter and handed Nurse Joy Gill, and his pokeballs. "Hello nurse, just a quick check up if you would."

"Absolutely sir, you may go wait." With that she disappeared behind the counter like usual. Travis went and sat on the couch, waiting for his team...

Nikki sat on the back of her Gyarados she looked around at all the water and sighed " We have been in this water for hours and I have yet to seen any sign of a town or people I hope this new region is worth all of this " Nikki sighed again after being in the water for another fifteen minutes Nikki decides to use a different tactic Nikki pulls out one of her pokemon balls and throws it into the air " Dragonite Come On Out ! " the big pokemon floats in the air Nikki smiles and puts the pokeball back in place " Dragonite fly around and see if you can see any sign of a town around her " the pokemon nods and flies off Nikki pats Gyarados and waits for her Dragonite to come back

As Sie sets on one of the dozen boats taking trainers to the Almen region he reflects on the past achievements that he has made. Releasing Pokemon that where captured by Team Rocket and other various villainous groups. The Kanto, Joto, Hoean, and other gym battles. Some of those battles where a miracle that he even won. Not to forget being invited to face to Pokemon League of each region. Utterly failing at being able to beat them but good things don't always end in a bad way. Sometimes bad things end in good ways. Let learn and be taught is what he has really learned over the 4 years he has been a Pokemon trainer.

Reflecting on the best times of his life. Remembering when he made his friend ships with all his Pokemon. Especially his Gengar. The Pokemon that helped him when most of his gem battles. The few coordination compositions he entered. Never winning any. Come to think of it the only reason he even enter the coordination compitions was in impress a girl or because he was pressured to by someone he was traveling with. Most of the people that he traveled with weren't even in contact with him anymore. What friends they where.

Oh well a new region a new start. That's when Sie hears a knock on his cabin door. He gets up out of the chair that came with the cabin that he had faced toward the cabin window so he could stare at the thing that separated all of the mighty Pokemon regions and walks over to the door and answers it. When he opens he see it is one of the crew members.

The crew member says "Sir, your a Pokemon trainer right? If so we need you hand on deck with the sails and masses. A ruff storm is coming this way. We might make it to the Almen region before the storm hits if we are lucky."

Sie then grunts back at the crew member then says "Fine. But my Pokemon aren't helping the crew it should be the crew's job to handle the sails and what not. If that is all I would like to take a nap."

Sie then waves the crew member off. Not really caring what the crew member thinks about him he slams the door closed. He then lays on his bed waiting for the crew member to start screaming at him. As the crew member start to scream threw the door the boat start to rock violently. Oh great what help could I have done anyway if the storm was this close then why where all the crew members helping on deck? It deserves them right for not having a big enough crew anyway. This storm isn't that bad yet. Sie then lays down on the cabin bed and takes a short nap.

30 min. later the storm is so violent that the boat is treating to tip over. A siren is sounded and an announcement is made over the speakers telling all the passengers to evacuate the ship. If the storm is this bad why did the boat set sail? Well maybe Team Rocket has a hand in it. Hm... I guess I should go and cheek it out. Sie gets up and walks over to the door and opens the door. As he peers out the door he notices that the remaining crew member that are still on the ship are trying to keep people calm. Sie walks up to the closest crew member and asks what is going on.

Crew Member: "Sir the ship has a leak and we are trying to get everyone to safety. We are about 3 hours away from the Almen region if you can just stay calm and grab your belongings and make it to the upper deck that would be appreciated." The crew member then waves Sie to go and get his belongings.

Sie not really taking haste and freaking out (because he has been threw similar situations before) collects the backpack that he always carries with him while he is traveling and the map of Almen that he had purchased while on the boat in the gift shop. Sie then heads for the upper deck as asked by the crew member. Why did he even take this boat from the Kanto region anyway. He had heard it was a day trip. He could have went and got one of his large flying Pokemon from the Poke Lab and flown here in half the time with resting his Pokemon. Realizing that a 6 hour flight for any Pokemon would be brutal on them and it would take days for them to recover even if they where in the Pokemon center after the trip. Swimming for water Pokemon was a totally different matter. Water Pokemon can usually swim large amounts of time with out taking a rest and being just fine afterwards but traveling on the back of a Pokemon in the middle of a large body of water could be risky even life threatening.

As Sie arrives to the upper deck he is instructed to get on a life boat. Knowing that this was the last boat to set sail for the Almen region that it only had a few Pokemon trainers on it and at that they where all on the upper deck since he had be introduced to all of them. Well at least once. A lot of people had heard of him but didn't know what he looked like or what Pokemon he had which was a good thing. The few public appearances where big but he wasn't taken much notice to. Except by a few trainers that somehow saw the broad casting of him on T.V. the chances of that where slim to non though. Sie climbed aboard the last life boat and the life boat descended in to the maw of the angry sea. Sie was feeling uncomfortable about right now.

After a few hours time the sea seemed to be settling and from what he could see everyone had made it off the boat that was now almost under water and seemed to be taking in more water now than a few moments ago. This seemed to be happening for the last hour or so.

About 5 hours later the sun was setting as the life boats reached the shore of Almen and all where asleep on the life boats. Well most passed out of exhaustion.

Dragonite returned a few moments later Nikki smiled " So did you see any sigh of a town " Dragonite nodded happily and pointed north Nikki smiled again " Nice job Dragonite " Nikki jumped onto Dragonite back she returned Gyarados back into his pokeball and Dragonite flew to the town

Crash walked through the center of the town, he then noticed the peir. A ship was coming in. Crash an to the peir and noticed Tulip running down the peir. "Hey!" He shouted, "Hold up, this town isn't that exciting." He then looked back to make sure his Empolean was okay. The big penguin was right behind him. "Empolean!" cried the pokemon. The Empolean then stepped to block Tulip's path. 'Hopefully this trainer doesn't get hurt by Empolean,' Crash thought.
