Good morning Everyone.
A long time ago I decided I wanted to write my own version of the Classical Pokémon adventure. I made numerous failed attempts but this time, I know I'll succeed!
The story of Ideal Times takes place in the region of Oblivia, which you may know from the Pokemon Ranger games. Historicaly, the people there are laid back and tend to care more about their tradition and the relationship with their pokemon than politics or technology. Some 10 years after the events of Guardian Signs, the people of Oblivia decided to create their own version of the island challenge. They were very much alike Alola after all.
The story follows a handfull of "main" characters. There's
- The protagonist. A 16 year old boy whom I haven't found a fitting name for yet. He takes the island challenge in Oblivia, alongside his two best friends, Electabuzz and Squirtle.
- Matt. A 17 year old nerd who meets the protag early on. He's a bit overanalysing, but a friendly guy nonetheless. Some wonder how much his friendly nature actually comes from his buddy Pichu though.
- Simsa. A 13 year old Kahuna. He only got that position because his grandfather requested so in his will. Determined to make him proud, he and his Gliscor take on any challenger that comes to Mitonga island... Not to much succes.
- Lydia. A 19 year old marine biologist and Simsa's sister. She tends to use having to protect Simsa as an excuse to travel the islands and study the wildlife. With Popplio and Clamperl at her side, she's always looking to solve the mysteries of the sea.
- Eva. An 18 year old girl who is also taking the island challenge. She occasionally crosses paths with the protagonist, but she and her Zangoose seem to be making a lot more progress than him.
- Alolan Sandslash. A wild Pokémon who, after baby a baby kantonian Sandshrew from an abusive herd of Sandslash, is wandering the islands to find a home for the little guy.
Other important characters are the mysterious man with the overpowered Greninja, Joey, the cocky rival with the even cockier Charmander and Rhydon, Omicron, a powerfull trainer with a Hydreigon and the mysterious unknown Pokémon who fight alongside Tapu Koko and Fini and the mischievous team Aria against the legendary Pokémon native to Oblivia.
The story focusses on the journey of the protag, but I want to have the relationships between the Pokémon in his team to have a central role in the narrative.
I really want to get this story out as far as possible before SwoShi comes out, because new Pokémon means new writing...
