EARTH-PKMN
Allow me to introduce myself. I am called The Observer. What do I do? I observe.
I observe not only the things that are seen right in front of our faces, the things people on our firm bit of terra firma see, but other things… things that exist beyond the veil of awareness. My awareness surpasses that of common folk.
I observe different creatures; different lands; different worlds.
And I ask you to imagine…
Imagine if you are able to… a world…
A world with personalities like… Harrison Ford, Brittany Spears, Professor Oak, Nurse Joy…
A world with organizations like… The Red Cross, The Mafia, Team Rocket, The Elite Four…
A world with popular events like… The Superbowl, the Stanley Cup, The Great Race, The Indigo Plateau Tournament…
A world with landmarks like… Niagra Falls, The Empire State Building, Bulbasaur’s Secret Garden, Mount Moon…
And a world whose fauna includes horses, cats, buffalo, eagles, Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle…
It is a world that exist beyond our own, yet parallel to ours… beyond the world of Pokémon, yet just as parallel. There is a spot in the infinite planes of existence where the dimensional boundaries between our world and the one that Ash Ketchum calls home meet in perfect alignment. And at this exact spot there exists a world where the all laws, scientific, cultural, and even historical, are combined. It is a world that I have named “Earth-PKMN.”
Being an Observer, I find few worlds more interesting than Earth-PKMN, where things occur that young children dream of happening. It is a magical place where the fantastic brush elbows with the realistic, and the weird and the strange mix with the logical.
It is my honor and of my interest to bring you some of the most intriguing stories that I have learned to have happened on Earth-PKMN, and I begin with a tale, where two young, aspiring Pokemon trainers, sixteen-year-old Zachary Menage and his thirteen-year-old sister Trisha encounter a sadistic trainer, in a tale that I call:
SORE WINNER
Note: This story occurs shortly before the discovery of most “Houenn” Pokémon. On Earth=PKMN; but they will appear in later stories.
