Introduction

Hi this is my Pokemon story! I'm making it original so I'm using their Japanese names. Sorry if it's annoying but I really like the idea. Anyway here I'm going to tell you who is who or you'll just be confused. Oh and I'm going to explain about Honorifics so please read this whole introduction.

"Daijōbu!" means No need to worry (Dawn's catchphrase)

I got the last names from the last names of their Japanese voice actresses/actors.

So now I'm going to explain Honorifics. They are to show politeness and are always used in the Japanese language. If you don't understand just read the things below anyway.

Honorifics:

-san: This is the most common honorific and is equivalent to Mr., Miss, Ms., Mrs. It is the all-purpose honorific and can be used in any situation where politeness is required.

-sama: This is one level higher than "-san" and is used to confer great respect.

-dono: This comes from the word "tono" which means "lord". It is an even higher level than "-sama" and confers utmost respect.

-kun: This suffix is used at the end of boys' names to express familiarity or endearment. It is also sometimes used by men among friends, or when addressing someone younger or of a lower station.

-chan: This is used to express endearment, mostly towards girls. It is also used for little boys, pets, and even among lovers. It gives a sense of childish cuteness.

Bozu: This is an informal way to refer to a boy, similar to "kid" or "squirt"

Sempai/Senpai: Is used towards the upperclassman or senior of a group.

Kohai: It is used to newcomers in a workplace.

Sensei: This is used for teachers, doctors, or masters of any profession or art.

-koi: This honorific is used between boyfriends and girlfriends.

-[blank]: The lack of honorific means that the speaker has permission to address the speaker in a very intimate way. Usually, only family, spouses, or very close friends have this kind of permission. Known as yobisute, it can be gratifying when someone who has earned the intimacy starts to call one by one's name without an honorific. But when that intimacy has not been earned it can be very insulting.

Hope that cleared up some things and sorry for the long talk. (lol it wasted SO much time) so click the next chapter button! HURRY!!
