Chapter 1: A Little Backstory
The sun shined like a 12 Giga Watt lightbulbs, as the the Spearow sang in the distance. In the sky, a few Venomoth flew overhead, and Rattata scuttled along the ground.
This, was Viridian Forest.
The Teenager took a deep breath and took in the scenery, slinging his leather Jacket over his shoulder. This kid's full name was Nathan E. Kronenberg, to most just the apprentice to Blaine, Gym Leader of Cinnibar Island. For this he was well respected, simply because it was such a high role that he would be undertaking in the Future.
Yet, Nathan had a true title that only the Elite Four and few others knew of, he was a hunter of the Elusive Decamark category of Pokemon. This elite society was only open to the greatest Scientists in the Kanto. Because his Father, was a renowned, Nathan was in the Union of Decamark hunters, capturing, researching and studying this Endangered type of Pokemon, before they are extinct. Most people didn't even know Decamarks existed, the Government kept this under wraps, not wanting the the general populace to to kill the last of them. Mostly, if a normal human sighted a Decamark, they had to be lied to that it was a normal Pokemon, their imagination, just twisting it. It was strange for Nathan, though, a Curly Haired Teen of Frail stature to take pant in such a important and sometimes, even dangerous role. Yet if you knew Nathan, you knew he had above average IQ that allowed him to slip out of tight spots.
"Well, this is it, a Decamark's been sighted here, and I'm the one who must find it. It could take days to find this thing." Nathan shook his head, but then in a swing, smirked, "I love my job."
Whipping out a small, Portable Radar like device, Nathan flipped the switch on it, and began walking. This device was a GigaSonic Searcher, GS for short, some times called "G-Shark" for the noise it makes when flipped on. The device studies Pokemon cries in the vicinity to pinpoint the Cry of a Decamark. The Radar points in that direction, and, as you get closer, a small beeping noise sounds, the faster the pace the closer the Decamark.
As the G-Shark turned on, a Mechanical Whir was made, it sounded like Jaws when the massive shark attacked. Birds flocked at the sound, and it always gave Nathan a jump. Yet, it turned to a small humming noise about a second later, and with that, Nathan sped off into the forest, the thrill of the hunt flowing through him.
I know, what you're thinking, how am I going to get around what a Decamark looks like. Well, don't worry, I have plans for that.
Hope everyone caught the Gameshark reference….
