Pokémon Ruin: Chapter Zero

Ten years ago, it was a calm and boring, yet peaceful day. Nothing seemed wrong, not from what I've heard. That is, until things called "Ultra Wormholes" started to pop up everywhere around the earth. Strange Pokémon, "Ultra Beasts," from alien worlds came out of the Ultra Wormholes, and they started to attack the people and Pokémon of our world!

Champions and powerful trainers tried their best to defeat them, but the Ultra Beasts just kept coming. Scientists, researchers, and professors tried to figure out why so many Ultra Wormholes were everywhere, but no one found even a clue for why all this is happening, let alone a solution. So the best they could do is just have bigger cities be protected by strong trainers so that ordinary people are safe until someone finds out what's going on and how to fix it. People from smaller places had to move to bigger ones since there aren't enough trainers strong enough to handle the Ultra Beasts to protect everywhere around the world. I've also heard that schools started focusing more on teaching Pokémon battling to children so that they could protect themselves and others, since no one knew how long this would last.

It's been ten years, and there's still no sign that anything's going to change. They're still stuck, not knowing what to do but continue what they're already doing. My family had to move to Mesagoza ten years ago to stay safe. I'm sick of how long we've been waiting, hoping, and living full of fear, all because these people just can't find out why these beasts are attacking us.

So I've decided to run away, with my Litleo and Hoppip, and do this myself since no one else will. I wanted to go with someone else with me, but I can't tell anyone about this. I've been planning to do this for years, but whenever I told someone, they'd call me dumb for thinking I can do what even a Champion couldn't and sometimes even tell my mom. Who would then pay extra attention to make sure I don't get out of Mesagoza. Sometimes, I'd even get bullied for it in school.

But I'm sure I can do this. I believe in myself and my Pokémon, no matter how many times people tell me I can't do it. Tomorrow night, we're going to escape while everyone is asleep, and we're going to bring peace back to this world! And everyone is going to discover that the Allie they called stupid and immature is the hero who saved the whole world!

(This took me months. I've been trying to figure out the whole story in my head, but it's probably easier to just write. This is just chapter zero, so it's just me trying to see what kind of story it will be. The next chapters probably won't be in first person like this one was, though.)

    Opinions? I don't mind criticism.

    This is good! Can't wait for chapter 1! I read it looking specifically for criticism but found none. (Would be cool if at least some of the other chapters were also first person though. I love the first person for some reason, even though I normally prefer third person.)

    I love it so far! I've got one just like it except it's in Kalos!

    Personally I like the first person, but whatever writing you prefer. It seems really good so far. I'm blanking on the word for this kind of story. I want to call it dystopian, but I don't think that's it.
