Plotful Encounters: #1 Mr. Pokemon at Route 30

Mr. Pokemon's House as seen in Gen IV.

    Many people don't recognize the name 'Mr. Pokemon' at first sound, but a surprising amount of fans do recognize the under-appreciated character. He has only 410 words in his article on Bulbapedia, yet intrigues much curiosity in me, and most likely other fans. So, why do I care about a character with a pimple tree in his backyard?
     Mr. Pokemon is most known for the fact that he gives the player the Mystery Egg, which in the metal gen, was the first egg to have been found. In gen IV, Nintendo realized how stupid that concept was and simply recognized the rarity of this occurance. He's a notable studyist of pokemon whom Prof. Elm apparently finds uninteresting, but who is this guy, and why the heck is Prof. Oak in his house?
    We want answers, and I intend to give them, but before I do that, I want you to remember how I feel about this novel. If you think something I'm doing is wrong, then leave a comment in the box about it. This book is written by not only me, but by the fans as a whole.

    Anyway, shall we cover our plotful encounter? Staying true to the games, Silver is sent on an errand to pick up a package from Mr. Pokemon; however, I saw a flaw in the innocent looking mission of the games. Why the heck would Prof. Elm send a local teenager, even if he is very talented in the subject, on an errand to pick up an egg from a pokemon so rare? The guy has a huge friggen lab filled with interns, and I'm sure at least a car. So, why send Silver? I'd say the situation looks a little shady.
    The trust and love Prof. Elm has for Silver is made obvious throughout the exposition, and is really emphasized immediately before Silver goes through Victory Road (Sorry, no spoilers for you). In this case though, Silver is sent on a mission to recover the egg of the extremely rare Togepi (need Silver's name for it \/comments\/). The mission is, as I implied earlier, completely illegal, and good job if your first thought was the cop that the daywalker brings to Prof. Elm's laboratory later.
    When Silver arrives at the secluded cabin in route 30, to his surprise, the world renown Prof. Oak is also there, the two men playing a game of chess. Prof. Oak greets him with the quote, "Oh, you must be Silver."

    Blah, blah, blah stuff happens; you know the drill. The difference is the major change in Mr. Pokemon. This is what's called a "cliffhanger." Read my character overview on Mr. Pokemon.


     
    

    

Character Details: Silver

  This post is a stub. Please ask questions in the comment section for more details on Silver.

    Sorry that this took me so long to write. I've been very busy for the past couple weeks. Considering this is my first character overview, I should probably explain the connection between the characters and the what-nots in the book. I use a very different style of writing than any author I've ever read. If it would be compared to any author (stylistically, not talent), it would have to be Paolini. Much of my writing is very separated and confusing until the characters are connected somehow. I suck at expositions.

  Silver is the main protagonist of the untitled book. He is most notably known for his silver colored hair and his ability to think at an extremely fast pace. In literary terms, Silver's character would be defined as a dynamic/developing character. Silver was born in the town of Newbark to his mother Luna and his father who can't be named due to major spoilers.

Physical Attributes

I have no idea who this is. Please comment if you know.

    I don't know who that is, but he looks very similar to what I had envisioned for Silver. If you (preferably girls) have a change you would like to see in him physically, leave a comment. He has a little more meat on his bones than this guy does looks a tad bit older.
    Silver is approximately 5'10" and 160 pounds, and ungodly dexterous. I gave you a picture of him. Other than that, ask questions.

Personality 

    Silver would best be described as the type A personality. It's very hard to describe Silver without the accompaniment of Brutus, because the two of them were specifically designed to contradict the personality of each other. He's very high strung and very serious about nearly everything. He gives absolutely everything he has to give in every situation.
     For all you vegetarians out there, here's one for you. Silver can't fathom the concept of eating a pokemon, and like his mother, does not eat any meat throughout the entire book.
     Ask me more questions.

Life in Newbark

    Silver takes the role of Prof. Elm's most prided apprentice, because of his ability to find useful information in a haystack (idiom fail).  He is extremely close to his mother Luna, and although he would never admit it, is very similar to her in many ways. There are also several other adults he calls friends, yet has no one his age to whom he is close.
    His expositional hobbies are centered around the lake east of Newbark, which Nintendo was lazy enough not to name.

Notable Attributes

    Silver's most notable attribute is his speed in general. His ability to think extremely quickly under pressure and physical quickness in combat is almost unnatural. That paired with an eye for picking out usefulness in a heap of data makes him a sizable opponent both on and off the field of battle.
    Silver feathers are very often found by Silver, which is a metaphor of his connection to lugia, and if I couldn't pound it into your head enough he has silver freaking hair. He very often finds large silver feathers lying around the woods in Newbark. The feathers of lugia eventually become his calling card.

Major Change #1: The Pokemon League #1

    How many teenagers want to go on a journey thinking that they're the greatest pokemon trainer to ever live, in real life? Now imagine a world where pokemon actually exist, and The Pokemon League is a more popular sport than soccer is in the real world. Teens and adults would be flooding through designated walking routes like refugees seeking the promise land. What are the odds of every gym leader accepting their challenge as the trainer walked into their gym? It's about null. The odds of the elite four accepting a trainer's challenge because he just walked in their front door is negative null. I can't make a good plot operate on exactly what was given to me by the games, which is why they need major changes.
#1-
I've relocated with a few new types of characters to fill in the gap of going from city to city. Park rangers, like the rangers of Hoenn, are assigned the job of making sure things in the "refugee camps" go smoothly. They stop violence, enforce litter laws, and stop irrational behavior in general. A problem with this type may have come to mind, or maybe you just compared them to Canadian police. I expected to have to think about this problem for much longer than I did, but an idea quickly came to mind; the park rangers have the ability to suspend 'pokemon licenses' for absolutely no reason at all, making them a very dangerous opponent.

Because police can't actually use a gun (shout out to Britain!), the strongest pokemon trainers become the faces of justice. That means the gym leaders, the elite four, the champion, and the secret police (remember Looker?) are really the only method of stopping evil that there are, which means most of the time, they aren't actually in the gym, except for the time when their job requires it. That time period is called the "Something Season (Still working on it)," and during that period, trainers with big dreams flood throughout the world to find fame. How do gym leaders take on all the challenges? They don't.
    As most of you know, the gyms are littered with obnoxious trainers that challenge you before the gym leader is approachable. Those people are the gym leaders' selected apprentices who are itching to take you on and impress their sensei. In order to challenge the gym leader, a trainer must defeat ALL of the apprentices. I'm still sorting out much of the details here, but that should clear things up for you.
#3-
The final battle against the elite four is the most broadcasted event in all of the world, notably Unova's, but that detail comes later. One trainer battles the elite four each year, and if that trainer manages to defeat them, he or she has the honor of taking on the champion. There has of course been a history of champions being complete juggernauts, and most retire before being defeated.
    If only one trainer gets to challenge the indigo plateau every year, then how is he or she selected? Every trainer to have obtained all eight gym badges, which in reality is only a couple hundred, is put into a massive single elimination bracket. This is much too large to be broadcasted, but at 64 trainers remaining betting and sponsoring starts to happen. At 32 trainers remaining, major broadcasting of the tournament beings. At 16 fans start to get involved; at 8 trainers remaining and below the bulk of the climax is going to occur. 

      Tell your friends... And your enemies; get them involved too!
            I still need a title! Leave your ideas in the comments

Book Overview

Welcome back, nerds!

    It's been a while since I made my first post, and that's because my second post was all me bragging about my success in pokemon competitively. No one really wants to hear about that. This post is actually going to be about the book. If you're actually going to follow the development of a fan fiction, you should at least know the core of it.
    This untitled book is based on the adventure of a 16 year old guy named Silver. As much as I would like to stay true to the games, I could not resist naming him that, even though the daywalker rival apparently shares the name. I'll give character details later, but I pretty much shaped him around the type of male with whom a girl would absolutely fall in love. It's not all loss though, guys; maybe it could get you a conversation with a hot nerd girl.
    The second character of the book is a static named Brutus who's based on the guy from Azalea whom cuts down trees. I don't plan on any deep meaning behind his name, although the occasional Shakespeare pun may turn up. He's 6'8''-6'10'' and absolutely ripped. Yes, he's also kind of a girl getter, but don't stop reading, guys. There's hope yet to come.
    Last, but absolutely not least is Maya. When designing Maya, I thought to myself, "What kind of girl would guys reading this book want?" She really is the perfect nerd girl: Nerdy + Hot - Creepy = Maya. She'll get her own character description post, along with all the other main characters later.
    Those are the three main protagonists of the book, but lets not forget all the other characters like Elm, Oak, Mr. Pokemon, Bill, Unnamed Daywalker (Giovanni Jr., maybe I'll call him that), Giovanni, Bill, Lance, and all the other characters I didn't care to list. I'll try to get nearly every character involved in the plot, minus all the random trainers; however a few of them will turn up. I'm really happy with where some of the characters in the games are going plot wise, especially Mr. Pokemon. He was really open to manipulation.
    Untitled book's plot is based on the storyline of HeartGold and SoulSilver (the oldschools just didn't give me enough to work with), but that doesn't mean extreme amounts weren't added. In order for a fan fiction to be good, its own plot, worthy of having its own book, has to be developed in a way that still follows the object its based on. There was much manipulation, which will be explained later.
    For now, I leave thee on a cliff hanger that hopefully brings you back next time. Until then leave a suggestion for the title in the comments.

Let's Do This... Or Not.

   This guy has been making a frivolous attempts to bless the world with a book on a topic only .07% of the world would actually care about. To make matters even more useless, it happens to be a fan fiction. So, "what does this have to do with me?" one may ask.
    It turns out that all fan fictions in the entire world suck, and to make a piece of literature based on someone else's literature, especially when it isn't literature, is extremely difficult. Challenge? Accepted. I've spent the past unspecified measurement of time trying to organize, outline, brainstorm, and aimlessly stare at a jumbled piece of data that won't seem to compile itself in any sort of encodable manor.
    What does an intellignent person who can't seem to figure out how to organize some data and make turn it into art do? He throws it at people. You see, the reason why fan fictions suck is not only because authors don't do amounts of research that would make Wikipedia jealous, but the stories are also only written by one fan. The purpose of this blog is to find other people whom thoroughly enjoy the subject too. Not only can these fellow geeks keep me in check, but they can also be entertained by my love of the subject.
     The important thing I have seem to forgotten, on what is this fan fiction based? None other than the amazing world of Pokemon.

    Some people sighed and left at that word, some cheered and called their girlfriends... Oh, wait.
    Anyway, I'm hoping blogging about it will help keep me writing. Throw a comment at me if you're interested in learning more.

Thank you Cody J. Gorell for inspiring me.
