Story:Pokemon Guava and Mango

Set in Johto and Alola because they're the best regions, obviously.

Major Characters

 * Sau - A 15-year old boy that lives with his family at the MooMoo Farm on Johto's Route 39. Formerly a resident of Alola, he moved to Johto at age 7. His family took over the MooMoo Farm after the previous owners fell into bankruptcy, likely due to a crash in the milk market after overselling to 10 year old adventurers. Since then, MooMoo Farm has diversified its portfolio and raises Tauros, Miltank, Mareep, and Duckletts, along with several Berry crops. Sau has a special interest in curry and Poffin cooking, and has begun to express an interest in ingredients not found on the farm. He often travels between Ecruteak and Olivine city selling his farm's wares, taking advantage of the opportunity to buy small things to work with at home. He hasn't explicitly trained any Pokemon, but is competently at herding Mareep with the assistance of an unconventional sheepdog - a Magnemite.

Episodes
Opening=

Preceding scene: After an encounter with an ambush of Ghosts while transporting farm goods across the Wild Area to Ecruteak City, Sau is able to escape back to MooMoo Farm with the help of random passerby Morty, the former leader of Ecruteak City. Morty gives Sau a Litwick to help with future trips. Somethingsomething NOW IT'S TIME TO GO OUT ON YOUR POKEMON ADVENTURE. Following scene happens at the farmhouse when his parents are making the decision to allow Sau to move on from the farm.


 * Mom: Yesyes, let him go! Powerful Trainers get to demand crazy sums of money from other Trainers they defeat. Maybe Sau can buy us a house back in Alola! Yes, with a swimming pool...
 * Dad: Dear, I've never understood the point of having a pool in a place surrounded by water.
 * Mom: The point is that it's your water and you can swim in it whenever you want.
 * Dad: Okay, but what about the farm? We can't just leave the Miltank here. Well, maybe in the winter, we could hire someone to look after...
 * Mom: Great! We'll be snowbirds. When the very first flake of snow falls - bam! - we're outta here. And we won't come back until April. *beams*
 * Dad: I don't know if we should be thinking this far ahead...

''His wife, who was humming to herself throughout the conversation, moves towards the porch. She stops at the doorway and pauses for a moment.''


 * Mom: Something odd is happening in this country. The storms in Olivine and Cianwood aren't normal. I think you know it, too. Wouldn't it be better to move somewhere safer?
 * Dad: I've - we've - spent a lot of time and effort building the farm up where it is. I know Sau wants to do something else with his life, but it's hard thinking of the two of you not here.
 * Mom: Mm, I can understand that. It feels like we've finally accomplished what we set out to do when we left Alola.

''Dad walks over to the porch window. The sun is beginning to set on MooMoo Farm, casting an amber hue over the cheery scarlet walls of its barns and sheds. Eight years ago, there was nothing there besides marshland and swamp. His eyes catch the fading rays of the sun.''


 * Mom: It's good to have beautiful dreams. Especially when other people help you achieve them.

''She looks out at the rolling fields of wheat, at the bulbous white-pink masses grazing lazily in the beige ocean. ''


 * Mom: It's also good to help others with their dreams, wouldn't you think?
 * Dad: ...Yes, I suppose you're right.

Professor=

Sau encounters a tattooed man in a unbuttoned lab coat in Ecruteak City.


 * David: You can have any Pokemon you want! As long as it's a bird. Also, as long as it's one of the three birds I currently have to offer.
 * Sau: That's not much of a choice.
 * David: Yep, just like how Pokemon Professors aren't given much of a choice in which starters they get to give out. Grass, Fire, Water - that's it! Speaking of which...

''David calls out three Pokemon. A Rowlet rolls out and flaps its wings endearingly, followed by an easily-distracted Torchic and a Piplup that begins to preen itself for a nonexistent camera.


 * Sau: They really are all birds.
 * David: *winks* You're so quick on the uptake! I can see you have the skills necessary to go all the way to the Pokemon League.
 * Sau: Uh-huh. I choose the Rowlet.
 * David: Eh? So quickly? Most people ruminate a bit first. It's not like I need you to save me from a wild Poochyena or anything.
 * Sau: A Grass type would be helpful for helping with seasoning. And it's the only one that can actually fly.

''Sau picks up the Rowlet and holds it at face level. A manic glint flashes in his eye for a fraction of a second.''


 * Sau: And it's... cute.
 * David: Then it's decided! How am I supposed to run a study on the psychological factors that affect starter selection if all you kids give me are purely functional reasons or "It's cute?"
 * Sau: I dunno. I'm not a Professor. And by the way, I don't know about going all the way to the Pokemon League.
 * David: Oh, really? Just setting off on your own for the fun of it? There must be more of a reason...?
 * Sau: I'd like to see more of Johto, for sure. I'm sure there's a lot I don't know about Curry and Poffin making. A lot I don't know about a lot of stuff, probably. I'll figure it out as I go. What matters is that I'm going.

David flashes a huge grin.


 * David: Interesting, interesting. You're not the regular kine 10 year old kid who sets out with a big dream to be the Champion.
 * Sau: That's because I'm 15.
 * David: Auwe! That's practically geriatric in Champion terms. Maybe it's better you're keeping your reason for doing the Gym Challenge open, then.
 * Sau: I guess. A journey isn't as, um, enjoyable if you already know the exact route you're going.

Sau smiles in a contentedly gloomy way.


 * David: Haha! Whatever you say. I'm not in Johto to call the shots anyway.
 * Sau: Doesn't the Alola need their Professor back anytime soon...?
 * David: Oh, I'm not the "official" Alolan professor anyway! I just came to visit Johto and really liked it here, so I stayed. Life in Alola was getting too quiet for my tastes.
 * Sau: Uh-huh...
 * David: Well, you seem all set! Feel free to send me a text if you need anything and I'll let my remote assistant handle it. She's a pretty feisty old woman, so make sure your message is respectful. Seeya!


 * David waves and saunters off towards the Burned Tower. He stutter-steps and turns back to Sau.*


 * David: Oh yeah, I'm supposed to stay on brand. Alola!
