Hello everyone, Gusto here, and I'm about to tell you a story.

You see, around a year ago, I read a story by Insane Dominator, called 'EDventures in Kalos', and I was inspired to write down an EEnE/Pokemon Crossover of my own. Unfortunately, my own OCD over making sure the concept is perfect, combined with the creation of other stories, delayed the process of making the story.

But now, after months of thinking and brainstorming sessions, I am now finally ready to reveal my story to you.

Also, I don't normally do this, but for this story, I have taken the liberty of writing down some ground rules, which are up on my profile page, just in case you want to have a look and know what to be prepared for.

Thanks to Bulbapedia and Ed Edd n Eddy Wiki for any details I needed that I couldn't remember off the top of my head.

Also, shout out to Insane Dominator, for helping me out with ideas, and being my proofreader in a sense.

And lastly DISCLAIMER: I own neither Pokemon nor Ed Edd n Eddy. Those are owned by Satoshi Tajiri and Danny Antonucci respectively.

But I've rambled on long enough. Here is the Prologue Chapter of this story.

Weclome to 'Pokemon ED Version: Path to Greatness'

The Cul-De-Sac has changed a lot in the past year.

Within the year, the Eds have been (more-or-less) accepted by the other Cul-De-Sac kids. There were certainly a few bumps in the road, but in the end, it wasn't like before, when they were constantly punished and insulted. Things were getting better as they changed.

But the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Right now, the three Eds were heading down to the river, with fishing poles in hand.

"Alright boys, we're gonna try our hands at fishing. If we catch anything, we can make some use out of 'em."

Leading the three was Eddy, who had actually changed quite a bit physically. First off, he has finally gotten a bit of height. It's not impossible, but now, it's a bit more difficult to call him 'pipsqueak'. Along with that fact, he has grown his hair out quite a bit, having a bit of a greaser hairstyle now. But other than that, he had remained virtually the same as far as personality goes. He still tried to come up with scams, and still tried to cause a little bit of action for everyone.

"Okay Eddy, but allow me one question, will you?"

"Shoot."

"Why exactly would the others want fish from the creek?"

Next up came Edd, better known as Double D. He had likely changed the least, due to the fact that he didn't really desire to change his appearance much. The only real changes were that he was a bit taller, and his hair had grown a slight bit, but that wasn't saying much. Personality-wise, he was still the curious one, and usually had the answers whenever anyone needed one.

"... Dangit, Double D! I hate it when you put logic into things!"

"It's okay Eddy! Maybe we'll come across a Sea Monster, like the three teens in 'The Legend of the Hell Waters'!"

And last came Ed, who has only gotten taller and tougher. As far as appearance goes, he looked almost the same, other than finally letting his ginger hair grow a bit, leaving him with a bit of a spikey cut to his hair. And he changed the least in personality. He was still an idiot, still did things one step at a time, and still had a love of comics and monster movies to the point where he could reference them all off the top of his head.

But like the others, he was still a good guy deep down.

"Ed," Eddy said, trying to ignore the pointless reference, "I don't think monsters are going to be in this little town. And even if they were, that's not why we're out here."

That answer seemed to satisfy Ed, at least for the moment. But right as he was about to speak once again, Eddy grabbed him by the shirt, and said "But who cares! I didn't borrow my dad's fishing poles for nothing! We're going fishing, boys!"

And the boys knew better than to question Eddy when the idea was stuck in his mind. So, they continued on their way to the creek, and got there in only a few minutes. And within only a few seconds of getting there, they were set up, with their fishing lines in the water.

Within the hour, the Eds had made quite a few successful catches. It wasn't ideal, but if you were to ask them, it was definitely a nice change of pace. Normally on a day like this, Eddy would have had them setting up for a scam, so it was nice to just take a break, and enjoy the day.

It was undoubtedly a pleasant experience...

At least until they caught one of their strangest sights.

About 50 minutes in, Eddy's line got a particularly hefty tug, prompting him to start reeling it in. It was a bit of a challenge, because whatever it was had quite a bit of fight in it, but with the combined effort of Eddy and Ed, they reeled that thing in.

And what they saw genuinely shocked him.

It was a small, blue, penguin-like creature, with dark blue on its head, and extending down, making something akin to a cape, and having a yellow beak and feet.

Eddy was at a loss for words. The only thing he could say was, "Is... this a Piplup?"

And a Piplup it most certainly appeared to be. There was no way around it, and no way to deny it; the creature in front of them looked exactly like a Piplup, and they were uncertain what to think of that.

At least until they heard an annoying voice in the distance...

"Looky here," They heard a very Brooklyn-esque voice say, "Our boyfriends found my new pet."

Upon hearing this, all three of the Eds looked up in horror, to find that the Kanker Sisters were right across the creek from them. Lee Kanker was naturally leading them, holding what looked to be a Pokeball in her hand. Right behind her was Marie Kanker, followed by May Kanker, both of whom looked to be holding similar Pokeballs, and all three with a similarly smug grin on their faces.

And to say the Eds were shocked would have been a major understatement.

"Wait a minute," Eddy said, naturally being the first to want answers, "This thing is yours!? How the heck is that possible?"

The Kankers shared a hearty (and slightly sadistic) laugh, before Marie spoke up. "We saw this one idiot dozing off under a tree," she said, "And when we saw 'em, we took 'em."

That got the three worried. Double D especially...

"Wait," he asked hesitantly, "'Them'?" Of course, due to having noticed the other two, he was definitely expecting the worst, but he didn't want to believe it...

"You're gonna love this," Marie said, only helping to make the Eds more scared, "Pokemon, go!"

"But I don't have my phone out," Ed screamed, "I'm not ready to catch anything!"

Without warning, May and Marie both threw their Pokeballs, both going in different directions, (May threw hers in the sky, whereas Marie hit Ed right in the face with hers) and out revealed the other two Sinnoh Starters. Out of May's Pokeball came a Turtwig, and out of Lee's came a Chimchar. In front of the Eds are three creatures that they had never even thought could exist.

"You like what you see," Lee asked smugly, "They're going to help us with what we want. And I'm sure you know what we want." And the Eds were sure what they wanted, but that was the last thing they wanted.

And so, Eddy did the only thing he knew to do.

"Like these little things could ever hurt us," Eddy said, trying to keep himself from looking scared, "I bet they're not even that tough!"

This was naturally just more of Eddy's big talk, trying to make himself seem unfazed by the idea. But even he was a bit afraid. And why wouldn't he be? Right in front of him were Pokemon, and starters at that. He was at least hoping that they weren't strong.

"Piplup, Peck!"

His hope vanished the moment he heard that. And his fear amplified when the Piplup's beak hit him right in the stomach.

The same happened with Ed, who was on the receiving end of Turtwig's Razor Leaf, and Double D, who was forced to deal with Chimchar's Ember. It wasn't too far off to say that after that, they knew they were screwed.

So, they did the only thing they could think of.

"RUN!"

That call was all that Ed and Double D needed to follow their friend, who was already zipping out. The two other Eds began to follow closely behind, as the Kankers watched them for a moment.

May gave a giggle after that. "I LOVE a good chase before the kill," she said, as the other two got a laugh out. "Well, then what are we waiting for," Lee said, "Let's have at it!"

And with just those few words, the chase began.

The Eds had a decent headstart over the Kankers, but that wasn't too much of a help to them. They could hear the footsteps behind them, meaning the girls were in hot pursuit. They just needed to get out of the forest, and they would be fine.

Or so they thought.

They made their way out of the forest rather quickly, and with few screw-ups. Once out, they headed for the Cul-De-Sac, cutting through the construction site. That was where the first screw-up happened.

While in the construction site, Eddy told them "Turn right!" Which they did, only to find that Marie Kanker was over that way, and commanded another Ember. The three Eds barely dodged, and started heading out.

Along the way, they ran into Kevin, who was riding by on his bike. He saw the three, and was about to say "Hey dorks, what'cha running from?" But he never got the chance, because Eddy zipped past so quickly that he was knocked off his bike. When he got back up, all he heard was "TALK LATER! KANKERS! POKEMON! RUN!"

Kevin, upon hearing this, picked his bike back up, and saw the Kankers heading this way. All he got from what they said was 'Pokemon' and 'Run'. So he just assumed they were using Pokewalkers or something like that.

As the Kankers got closer, he noticed a blue-penguin like creature coming his way. Before he even got the chance to say anything, it pecked at him, and sent him flying off of his bike.

"Stay out of our way, Biker Boy," Lee said, "We're busy."

Without another word, the Kankers headed out, and Kevin thought 'I don't know what the heck is going on, but I don't want to be on the receiving end of that peck again!' But even so, he knew he had to make sure none of them died. So, he got back on his bike, and began to follow close behind.

Meanwhile, Eddy was leading them out of the construction site, until of course they ran into a corner. They could hear the footsteps getting closer, and it got him worried about what was going to happen. "What do we do, Eddy," Ed asked, sounding terrified, "WHAT DO WE DO!?"

Then he got an idea. "We use our heads!"

Without warning, Ed and Double D picked Ed up, heaved him into the air, and slammed his head into the fence like a battering ram. The fence was, of course, no match for Ed, and the three started to run through the giant hole that was created.

Next, they found that they were in the alleyway right near the Cul-De-Sac. A spark of relief ran through them, as they realized they might be in the clear…

"ED!"

That was, until a certain loud-mouthed little girl showed up.

It was common place for Ed's little sister Sarah to pester them at the most inopportune of times, but now was probably the worst. "You better get home and pick up that mess you left in the living room! Me and Jimmy are going to watch a movie."

"But Sarah, me and the guys ar-"

"If you don't get home, I'M TELIING MOM!"

All three of them noticed that Ed's eye twitched for a moment, before he started to grit his teeth. Then suddenly, he barked back. "I DON'T CARE RIGHT NOW," he screamed, "We're about to be turned into Pokemon food, and I'm more afraid of that than getting into trouble!" As soon as he said that, Eddy grabbed him by the collar, and said "Good work, Lumpy. Now we gotta keep moving! They're getting closer!" And with that, the three Eds got back to moving, leaving Sarah completely dumbstruck.

'Did he say… Pokemon?' She questioned, wondering what the heck got into him, 'I mean, it has to be something scary, if he's not afraid of me telling mom…' And this much she knew was true. She had never experienced it much in the past, but she knew if she barked, and Ed barked back, there was something up…

"Turtwig! Tackle!"

Sarah looked over to her side, and saw the Pokemon in question, before it slammed into her, and sent her flying into a wall.

Meanwhile, the Eds had made it to Eddy's house, and it seemed like they were in the clear.

"If we get inside, and I tell my parents what's going on, they'll make sure the Kankers don't get in," Eddy said, his voice now full of pep, "We're safe, boys! Let's get inside!" And they tried to do just that. They went over to the door, and Eddy tried to open it, only to find that it was locked. Looking up, he found a note at his door, and his hopes were dashed the moment he read it.

"Damn," he said, "They headed out, and I don't think they'll be back in time…" There was a brief silence, before Eddy crumpled up the paper, and said "Double D! We're heading to your place!"

They didn't get the chance, however, as the moment they turned around, they were greeted by Embers at their feet. The Kankers had finally caught up with them, and now they were stuck on Eddy's doorstep, with three Starter Pokemon awaiting the commands of their new 'masters'.

"Oh dear," Double D said, worry evident in his voice, "How are we going to get out of this mess?"

"Eddy, Quick Attack!" Ed called, hoping that would yield some kind of result. All it got was Eddy elbowing him in the stomach lightly, and saying "That ain't how that works, Lumpy! We're doomed!"

"Now now, Eddy," taunted Lee, "No one ever said you had to be. Just give us what we want, and we'll head out." The three girls shared a very dark giggle, before Marie said "Of course, there's always option 2. It's pretty fun to do things the hard way."

But Eddy was unbending, and responded by telling them "No way are we giving in! That's a fate worse than death!"

Once again, the Kankers responded with another dark giggle, before Lee said "I love it when you play hard to get. Fine then, hard way it is." Nothing more needed to be said as the Kankers approached, their Pokemon just a few steps ahead of them. Right now, the Eds felt like prey, with their predators closing in, ready to deliver the killing blow.

They had only one chance…

"I'm coming Dorks!"

And that was if an acquaintance of theirs was willing to help them out. And it looked like a certain shovel-chinned boy was up to the task. He came up, pedaling his bike as fast as he possibly could (which has been shown to be pretty damn fast), and came in ready to do what he could to make sure they didn't get beat down too bad. 'I may not be on the best terms with them,' He thought as he neared the Kankers, 'But I'll be damned if I let the Kankers win!'

"Turtwig, Tackle!"

He narrowly dodge the creature jumping at him, but he realized that was the distraction only a minute too late. Much like what they did when Kevin was hunting down Eddy about a year ago, Lee grabbed May, and slammed Kevin in the face with her, knocking him unconscious. And much like last time, his bike went off in another direction, this time slamming into the streetlamp, and being destroyed right in front of him.

"Oh, not cool," Exclaimed Eddy, "Leave Kevin out of this!" Lee looked over, and smirked, before saying "We told him not to get in our way, and it's his fault that he was stupid. And if anyone else wants in, we'll take them on as well."

"You're sadistic…"

"Thank you. Now, where were we?"

"I think I remember," Marie said, "We were about to go for the kill."

The Eds were finally terrified, as the Kankers once again had that same dark giggle, which only helped to scare the Eds even more. "I guess this is the end, boys," Eddy said, "I don't think we're going to get out of this one." And this time, he genuinely felt like that. They were forced into a corner, and there was no one near enough to save them.

They were going to need a miracle for this one…

"Haxorus! SLASH!"

Out of nowhere, the Kankers and the Eds heard this voice, only for a large Draconic creature to swipe it's claws at the girls the moment they turned around. They barely dodged, and were forced back by the larger creature. And now the Eds had a better look at the man in front of them.

It was a young man, looking to be no older than 16, with messy silver hair that was spiked back in the end. He was average height, standing about 5'8, was slightly lanky, and his attire was mostly black, consisting of a tank top, sweatpants, and sneakers, along with a white lab coat over it all, and glasses on his face.

And speaking of his face, his eyes were the first thing that caught there interest. The man in front of them was Heterochromatic, with his left eye being a pale blue, and his right eye being a pale green. It wasn't the easiest thing to notice, but they could tell. And they could also tell by the look in those eyes, that the man was pissed.

"So," he said, his voice light, but strong, "I see you three are the ones who stole my little friends. How rude of you." Every one of them could hear the hint of venom in his tone, but to the Eds, it was a calming venom. They could tell it wasn't aimed at them, and the Kankers looked to be taking the bait.

Couple that with the Haxorus in front of them, and it pretty much spelled victory.

"And what if we did," Marie asked, "What are you going to do about it? It's three against one." The man only smirked, and said "Well, technically it's six against two. But considering how low level the three of yours are compared to my one, I don't think you have much of a chance."

"Low level, eh," Lee questioned, "Then why the heck can they do as much damage as they did?"

"You don't know a lot about Pokemon, do you?"

The Kankers were silent for a moment, as the young man smirked. "I guess I must enlighten you," he told the three, a hint of arrogance now present, "Just because they can do some damage to defenseless teens with no Pokemon of their own does not necessarily mean they're strong. And considering that you three have first stage Pokemon, going up against a fully evolved Dragon-type, you have nothing."

Lee let out a growl of discontent, and said "If you're trying to scare us, it's not working. We got numbers on our side." A scoff was heard coming from the teen, as he said "Well, if you truly believe that, then I will let you three have the first shot. Have at it."

The Kankers nodded, and each called for their best attack. Chimchar released an Ember, Piplup used Bubble, and Turtwig used Razor Leaf, all at the same time. The attacks came in, and struck at Haxorus, but didn't even seem to faze the mighty Dragon-type, and that started to worry the girls.

"Now then," the man spoke, "It's time I show you what happens to those who do wrong. Haxorus, Earthquake!"

Without warning, Haxorus stomped on the ground, and it started to shake viciously, opening up the ground slightly, and forcing the three starter Pokemon to be hit by large pieces of the ground, and knocking them out immediately.

"Whoa!" was May Kanker's response, as she and her sisters returned their Pokemon. "That guy's got a tough one! Now what do we do!?" Lee only growled in annoyance, before whispering "We head out. He's won this round, but he won't win the next." And they knew exactly how to do it.

The moment he came over, the girls made a break of it, attempting to punch the man. He dodged each of the punches easily, and did not attack back, thinking they would tire themselves out eventually. He was wrong, and he did not realize, until he didn't hear any more punches coming. He looked behind him, and saw that the girls had started running. He didn't even get to raise a foot before they were already over the fence, and out of his sight.

And all he had to say to that was "Damn…"

After that quick and less than climactic battle, the man came over to the Eds. The first thing he asked was "Are you three okay?" to which the Eds only responded by nodding, with their mouths agape in shock.

"Okay, great," he said, "I'm glad to see my little screw-up didn't do too much damage."

While he was looking around, Eddy was the first to snap out of it, and had to ask "What the heck happened!? Did I just watch you wreck the Kankers!?" The man looked back at them, and said "Ah, so that's their names…"

"I'm still more concerned about the Pokemon," Double D said, "I was unaware that such creatures existed…"

"I see, so there truly are no Pokemon out here. It would explain why I haven't seen any new ones. That's kind of disappointing."

"If you don't mind me asking good sir, who are you, anyway?"

The man looked back to them, and gave a smile. "Ah, forgive me, I was so caught up in what happened, I forgot about introductions." He bowed in front of the three, and said "My name is Matti, and I am a Pokemon Professor."

That shocked the Eds more than the sheer fact of Pokemon being in the real world, and it jolted Ed back to reality.

"You give people Pokemon!?" Ed questioned excitedly, to which Matti replies, "Occasionally. But for the most part, my job is to just collect information on Pokemon, and their behavior patterns. I also happen to teach students the basics of Pokemon Battling at a little school."

"Wow, that's so cool!" Ed exclaimed, "Can we get Pokemon, oh Odd-Eyed professor man!?"

Matti just looked at them, and said "I'm afraid that's a request I can't fulfill. But I can see by the look of shock on your face. Do you guys have some questions for me?"

"Yes," said Double D, hoping to shoot the elephant out of the room, "First off, how in the world do you have Pokemon!?" Matti just smirked, and said "I came all the way here from Sinnoh."

"Sinnoh!?"

Matti sighed, a smile on his face. "I guess I have quite a bit of explaining to do. I'm sure if you know about Pokemon, you know about Pokemon Trainers, correct?" The three Eds nodded, and Matti took that as his sign to continue.

"Well, I was working with Professor Rowan recently, and he told me he wanted me to take 3 Starters to some trainers. I hopped a train, and next thing I knew, I was in this town. I've been here for the past couple of days, enjoying how peaceful it is, when today, I decided to let the Pokemon out for some fresh air. Only a few minutes later, I dozed off, those Kanker girls took the Starters as their own, and the rest is history."

Now, even with the fact that they were just viciously attacked by Pokemon, this was still a total shocker to the Eds. They had thought something weird had happened, or maybe some company was making Pokemon Animatronics or something like that, but they hadn't thought that someone had actually brought them from the Pokemon world (at least until the attacks were thrown).

"And now," Matti continues, "The Pokemon are theirs, and there is nothing I can do about it. I wouldn't even know the first place to look for those three, and I'm heading out on a Journey starting tomorrow."

"Wait, a journey," Double D questioned, "Where to?"

"Johto. I was planning to go out there for some studies, and maybe take on the gym challenge. Though, I will admit, it's going to be kind of boring going on my o-"

"TAKE US, OH ODD-EYED PROFESSOR MAN!"

All of them looked over to Ed, who looked ready to jump out of his skin in excitement. "We want to go with you!" He said, "Ed has always wanted Pokemon to battle with! And I know Eddy has too! He told me!"

Matti looked over to Eddy for confirmation, and got it in the form of an excited nod. This brought a smile to the Researcher's face.

"Well then," he said, now sounding a bit more excited, "I suppose arrangements could be made." He thought on it for a moment, mumbling to himself, and leaving the three in suspense. They didn't know what was running through his mind, but they could hear him slightly. He was weighing the advantages to the disadvantages, throwing around percentages and figures, similar to something Double D would do.

Eventually, he looked over to the three Eds, and said "After a round of mulling over, I've decided. I'm going to make some repairs to the road with my team, and tomorrow, I'll be taking my leave. If you have permission from your families, then you can join me."

"Sounds good."

"Then meet me here tomorrow at 5:00 AM, sharp. I'll be waiting."

The Eds nodded their heads, pretending like that was no issue whatsoever. They knew that waking up, getting ready, and sneaking out of the house would be the easy parts. But there was one part that they knew would be difficult, and that would be getting their parents to let them go…

They were going to need to have a brainstorming session tonight.

Double D's House. 7:30 PM

The three Eds had joined together, trying to come up with a plan. They had their things packed, and were memorizing everything they could about the Johto Region (luckily, they had all finished HeartGold/SoulSilver, and could just run around the game for fun), and were already thinking on the Pokemon they might use.

The only hitch in their plan was that they still hadn't found the right time to talk to their parents about it.

Ed didn't because his sister was talking all throughout dinner about how she had found out about some place cool, that she wanted to explore it. Whenever he thought he had a chance to bring it up, Sarah interrupted him. Immediately after dinner, Double D called him over.

And Eddy's parents only got back about two hours ago, and he still hadn't gotten a chance to speak to them. In all honesty, he didn't really want to alert them of the fact, since he knew for a fact that they would probably disapprove.

And Double D's parents were busy with their work, so they weren't even around for him to speak with them.

And now, all three of them were trying to come up with a plan.

"Well, we could just tell them we're going with a friend on a vacation," Ed offered, to which Eddy shot down with "No. They're going to want us back here for when school starts back up, and there's no way we'll know when we'll be back."

"That is likely the crux of the issue," Double D added, "But we can't lie to them. It would be betraying their trust, and I'd hate to insult them like that."

And that's when they heard a loud crashing sound outside, and went to investigate.

Once outside, they followed the noise, until they found themselves in the alleyway. The moment they got there, they saw the Kankers at the end of it, right next to the dumpster, with a fire in the middle of them, and a bunch of pots and pans. Taking cover behind the fences, the Eds got in close, and were able to catch little bits of their conversation.

"That nerd made fools out of us today," Marie said angrily, "No one ever makes fools out of us!" May agreed, miffed about what happened as well, "We should do something about it! We should fight him!" With that said, the two girls started planning, until Lee slammed a pan over May's head.

"No way girls," Lee said, her eyes focused on the fire, and the chili she was cooking, "He already proved that numbers don't matter with him."

"But Lee," May argued, "That was because of that Dragon thingy. He can't fight us."

"I wouldn't be so sure, girls. There's something about that guy I don't like. If we want to get back at him, we need an advantage. Which means…"

The three went silent for a moment, until Lee got a rather malicious smirk on her face. "I think I have an idea," she said, her voice a bit darker than before, "He said he was leaving for where he came from, right?" The two girls nodded, and suddenly, they each got a smirk of their own, as if they knew what she was getting at.

"Well, if we follow him, wherever it is he's going, there are bound to be more of those Pokemon things. And if we catch the strongest ones we can find…"

"We can get our revenge," Marie said happily, "Let's do it!"

From the sidelines, the Eds were absolutely shocked, and decided to head back before the Kankers could catch sight of them. They were each unable to believe the plan, but they all had different ways of showing it. And naturally, Eddy's was with rage.

"I can't believe it!" Eddy said, right as they got to Double D's doorstep, "They think they can just pull off something like that!? Well, no way in hell are we letting them! Boys, screw permission, we're going with Matti to Johto!"

Ed cheered happily to that, but Double D wasn't so easily persuaded. "Eddy, don't you think that we'll be in trouble," he brought up, "Our parents are sure to have rules against us leaving without their knowledge!"

That received an immediate scoff from Eddy, who only said "Oh please, Sockhead. If we could do it in the movie, we can do it here! And besides, unlike back then, we do have the option to come back home if things get too rough. It's fine." And in Eddy's mind, it was. But Double D still looked hesitant, so Eddy pulled out his trump card.

"Look, Double D, you've seen how dangerous the Kankers are. You've seen what they've done over something as simple as a Ship-in-a-Bottle! Imagine how bad they could be over something like revenge, and with Pokemon to boot!"

That is what got Double D. He hadn't considered that. 'They did say they wanted to get more Pokemon…' He thought, 'And I suppose Eddy does have a valid point.' But it went against his better judgment to just take off. He didn't want a repeat of the incident with Eddy's Brother, but at the same time, Eddy was also right in that they could return if they wanted to. It took him a minute, but he finally had an answer:

"Okay, Eddy. I'm in."

Ed, in response, gave the two a big bear hug, and said "We three will stop the Kankers on their evil quest for vengeance! No one will stop the Eds!"

"That's the spirit, Lumpy! Now, let's finish packing, and get ready for tomorrow!"

With nothing left to say, the three Eds headed back into Double D's place, and prepared for tomorrow. Each of them were planning out everything they could, because they knew this would be bigger than anything they could ever do. If they took this chance, they could enjoy the world of Pokemon in a way no one else could even fathom.

They were fully aware of the risks involved (at least they think they are), but right now, the rewards seemed to outweigh them by a ton.

So now, as you can probably expect, this prologue chapter was mostly here just to set up the scenario. But I'm glad I did it, because it allows me a chance to introduce some new info about this story.

Also, I will say that this is probably the only after-chapter note you'll get from me, because the bottom here is likely just going to be for the Pokemon of each character (Like so many other stories do). I just want you guys to know that, so that if the way I write seems a little different. This is naturally going to be a big project for me (possibly the biggest overall, in terms of how much I will be writing), so I want to make sure it's easy for people to follow.

But yea, that's all I wanted to say. As always, read, review, and all that good stuff. I make no promises for when the next chapter comes out (balancing my time is not the easiest thing right now), but I will give it my best effort to get it up ASAP.

Until next time.
