Chapter Zero: Welcome To Merenge.

You have 127 Missing Calls from [Unknown] !!
CALL BACK   IGNORE

Goodness! It's Merenge's Pokémon Champion, SE-ON! What could he ever want from a boring, useless commoner with no talent whatsoever like you?!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ??? ꜜ Hey. Be nice.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SE-ON ꜜ ...?!

He's visibly confused as you talk to me, your dear Rotom assistant.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ??? ꜜ Dear? You keep insulting me, dude!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SE-ON ꜜ ... I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ??? ꜜ I DIDN'T MEAN YOU.

Dude, you're embarrassing.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ??? ꜜ Rotom, I'm turning you off.

I'm sorry.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SE-ON ꜜOh, now everything makes sense! You have one of those Pokédex Rotom...! I'm quite envious, you know~

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SE-ON ꜜ But hi there, stranger! You just came from Alola, right? Professor Kukui gave me your contact info...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ??? ꜜ Without even asking me?!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SE-ON ꜜ I'm sorry, it was rather urgent... I hope you can forgive us!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ??? ꜜ Sure, whatever... What's up?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SE-ON ꜜ Ahem.

Oh no... He's pulling out a huge list of things he wants to explain to you. I bet this is going to be your typical introduction to a Pokémon game...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SE-ON ꜜ Welcome to the world of Pokémon!

I TOLD YOU THIS WOULD HAPPEN.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ??? ꜜ ROTOM, SHUT THE FUCK UP NOW.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SE-ON ꜜ [unfazed] My name is SE-ON, but people call me the Pokémon Champion! My auntie is the Pokémon Professor here in Merenge, which is inhabited by creatures called Pokémon!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SE-ON ꜜ For some people, Pokémon are pets, while others use them for fights. As for me... I consider them my only friends. My aunt hated babysitting me so she would leave me with her Audino and leave me alone with it at home. Isn't that fun?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ??? ꜜ Why are you traumadumping out of nowhere now.

Goodness, what the hell...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SE-ON ꜜ Here's the thing... While Pokémon are interesting and I consider them to be reliable companions who would never leave me alone at home just because they don't want to babysit me, it is a bit boring without any human interaction... So I became the Pokémon Champion to stay by my Pokémons' side while still interacting with the outer world!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SE-ON ꜜ But you know, before people can challenge me they have to defeat 8 Gym Leaders, right? Some rando wanted to make them promote as some M-Pop group to increase their popularity, but... After accepting the deal, they disappeared. It's been months now.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SE-ON ꜜ Would you help me find them?

❛ I've always thought you looked like a human version of a Bulbasaur, but... This is too much! ❜

The (Pokémon) ODD-Venture.
In which Merenge's regional Gym Leaders suddenly go missing, only to be spawned elsewhere...

As Pokémon themselves?!

Feven's Corner ! ♡

After MONTHS of preparations, this applyfic is finally out! I'm so excited to start working on this, and I hope you are as well~ I've carefully prepared every single detail in hopes of getting as many people as possible interested in this project... Especially as I hope to make my own fangame out of it!

Also, this time you might've noticed the graphics have finally changed and that the faceclaim has been chosen - Jinsik! I now consider myself 100% satisfied with this introduction and I can, therefore, proceed without unpublishing this book ever again. I'm so excited to start!

────────────────────────

ODD-VENTURE (DISCLAIMERS) ㅤ ᯓ★ㅤ I plan to keep this story lighthearted overall, but given my starting point... It's not entirely possible. This work takes inspiration from the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series and Poképark 2: Wonders Beyond, both being possibly a bit heavy to digest if analyzed properly... Or at least, that's what I think after being traumatized by the latter as a child. We don't talk about that though.

That being said... I'll update this at a rather slower, irregular pace, due to being busy with the Seiyuu Academy series and also the fact that most of the writing will be projected in the creation of a Pokémon Fangame: if you think about it it's quite the huge deal, so I want it to be as close to perfect as possible. I hope you don't mind!

────────────────────────

SONGBIRD (CREDITS) ㅤ ᯓ★ㅤ As said before, the plot takes inspiration from spin-off Pokémon games but it ultimately belongs to me. The graphics and layout are also 100% mine and no, I do not allow any full replicas even for close friends. Don't bother asking!

────────────────────────

VOYAGER (TAGS) ㅤ ᯓ★ㅤ Before I proceed with my own, I'll ask you all a favor: please, tag at least 3 people who could be potentially interested in applying! I'm not sure this will get enough attention to proceed properly, so...

Of course, if you're unable to tag anyone at all, promoting the book through reading lists and message board announcements also works ^_^
