Last night marked the thirty-sixth hour I had not slept, so I started browsing through all the stories I have started but not yet finished (and there are a lot of them). I got to the Pokémon story I started here, and read a little bit of it. When I began writing that story, I was all excited, but then a little ways in I lost momentum and quit. There were just too many questions I didn't have the answers to for my character. Why is my character in Japan when he's American? Is he on business, and if so, what kind of business would send a ten-year-old to Japan? So, after about seven seconds of serious contemplation, I decided that there was no reason to send a ten-year-old American boy to Japan that would make sense. Thus, a new story is born.

I decided to make a new region in America, near where I currently live. I know, not a unique idea, but still one that I thought would be best. But what about the Pokémon? Would I just use the Pokémon from other regions in this new region? The answer to that came quickly: No. SO I made some new Pokémon. And now, I present to you the Marion Regional Pokédex (Marion being based on Marion County, Oregon). Many of the Pokémon on this Dex are new, but most are borrowed from the six generations that already exist. If you were to compare the new Pokémon to one generation at a time, there would be more new than old, but total... I'll just show you.

150. Sulisia - Grass/Fire - The über legendary, like Mew and Celebi, this one being the spirit of life and guardian of the sun. Like Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, and Victini, it's small and adorable.

Pokémon Sun/Pokémon Moon comes complete with its own Professor (the name's Fir, Douglas Fir) and criminal organization (Team Blitz, named after the mascot of Willamette University, whose mission is to control the power of the sun [if you're in Pokémon Sun] or the moon [if you're in Pokémon Moon] for reasons that are, as of yet, unspecified). I've made several gyms (eight, I believe), more cities, and the badges needed to challenge the Elite 4. Why not show you with words?!

You start your journey in the heart of the Marion Region, in a city called Cherry Orchard. There, you meet Professor Fir and pick your starter, then head southeast to Royal Town, where you fight Ken, master of Rock Pokémon, for the Solid Badge. You keep heading southeast to Bridge Town, where you fight John, master of Ice Pokémon, for the Cold Badge. You keep going southeast, passing through Quiet Town where you will interrupt some plan of Team Blitz's, until finally you hit Pioneer City, where you fight Cindy, master of Ghost Pokémon, for the Haunted Badge. You then return to Cherry Orchard, get some useful equipment from Professor Fir, and go northeast, up to Mount Saxon, where you fight David, master of Psychic Pokémon, for the Spirit Badge. After descending down the other side of Mount Saxon, you keep heading east until you hit Silver City, where you fight Curtiss, master of Normal Pokémon, for the Regular Badge. Back in Cherry Orchard, after getting more useful equipment from Professor Fir, you head north to Eagle City, where you fight Ed, master of Flying Pokémon, and get the Wing Badge. Further north you progress, until you reach Sunset Town, where you catch a glimpse of your mascot. Just a little more north is Sunrise City, where you battle Patrick, master of Grass Pokémon, for the Floral Badge. On your way back through Sunset Town, you find Team Blitz, and its leader Stefan, trying to capture your mascot. Instead, you capture the mascot, and defeat Team Blitz... for now. You then return to Cherry Orchard, then head west to Valley Town. In valley town, you again find Team Blitz, however this time you are too late, and they capture the other mascot. You continue west to Coastside City, where you fight Lara, master of Water Pokémon, for the Spring Badge, and return to Cherry Orchard to challenge the Elite 4. First up is Kristen, who utilizes Dragon Pokémon. Then you face Wayne, who prefers Fighting Pokémon. Next up is Cheryl, who uses Dark Pokémon. And, finally, you face Robert, who uses Rock Pokémon. After defeating Robert, you face the Champion, none other than Stefan, leader of Team Blitz, who uses his legendary in the battle. Will you defeat him? No, because this isn't a game, it's just an idea.

I have the Pokémon that they all use, but I don't feel like putting it down (unless someone wants me to, for some reason). Anyway, I forgot why I was posting this. As I said, I haven't slept in... over two days now. I'm going to bed.
