Comments "The Chinai Region"

THE CHINAI REGION

Pronounciation of Chinai: tchi - NAI

I decided to now begin a story that I hope to take to the end. I intend to write one episode per weekend, and perhaps an extra episode if I have an extended weekendor a mid-week holiday. During the break, I will write one chapter every two day (minimum), unless I travel or something.

The name of the story is "The Chinai Region" and it is about a 14-year-old boy named Chris Kanoba who wants to become the greatest Pokémon master. However, he was raised in Kanto until the age of 13, when his father was called to organize the Chinai League. At the time, Kanto was mainly dominated by normal Pokémon; appearences of Mutations (in this story, I will call every Pokémon that is changed from the original a Mutation) were very rare. Chris then has to discover the magic of PokéMutations and the art of PokéMutating.

I posted this beforehand for two reasons: one is to give you an idea of what the story is about. The other is because, throught the story, ancient writings from the Fushigoric People (previous dwellers of the Chinai Region; you will learn more about them in the story itself) will appear on various occasions. For this ancient text, I created a new TrueType Font using FontLab 4.6. You will probably need to install the font into your computer to be able to read the ancient text.

Download the .zip file. Unzip it to remove the font file. Copy the font file, go to the Fonts folder of your computer, and paste it there. that should automatically install the font.

Apologies about not having started the story yet. Homework complications...

Anyways, I have decided that, in the Chinai region, there will be three additional types of Pokémon. These Pokémon are made by specific groups and very hard to obtain. They are all very strong.

MAGMA-Type Pokémon: These Pokémon are made by Team Magma. Magma-type Pokémon work as if they had Fire and Ground types in one. Magma Pokémon have a special boost in Attack and Defense.

AQUA-Type Pokémon: These Pokémon are made by Team Aqua. They work as if they had Water and Dark types in one.The special boost for them is in Special Attack and Special Defense.

ROCKET-Type Pokémon: These are made by Team Rocket. They work as if they had Poison and Psychic Types in one. Their special boos is in HP and Speed.

Any Pokémon may have any of these types. However, a Pokémon that has one of these types may NOT have any other type.
These Pokémon may be easily identified by their color. Here is a sample Pokémon, colored for each team:

The original Brelode is the one on the top-left corner. Beside the original is the Aqua-type Brelode. Below the original is the Magma Brelode, and opposite to the original is the Rocket Brelode.
Even though the original Brelode is Grass/Electric, it only works as so in its original.
NOTE: Shiny Pokémon of these special types do NOT change color.

Just some things to add:

POKÉNIMALS
The animals of the Chinai Region were almost completely wiped out when Pokémon and Mutations appeared in the ara. The ones that survived quickly evolved (Darwin's kind of evolution, not Pokémon kind) into something between animals and Pokémon: Pokénimals. Pokénimals are basically normal animals with Pokémon powers, but most Pokénimals look a lot like Pokémon.
Here is an example of a Pokénimal. This is a Rat (duh):

SPRITES
I made sprites for the two main professors of Chinai, Pine and Bromeliad.

This is the sprite of the main character, Chris Kanoba:

SPRITE CREDITS
Rat: Made with Rattata body and Raticate colors and tail.
Prof. Pine: Made with Oak arms and chest, Bill (custom sprite found in Serebii.net) legs and head, and Blaine colors for the shirt and pants.
Prof. Bromeliad: Made with Daisy (custom sprite found in Serebii.net) body and Misty colors.
Chris Kanoba: Made with Silver (evil guy in GSC; custom sprite found in Serrebii.net) body and Wally (custom sprite found in Serebii.net) colors.

Here is Berght, the pet Dog Pokénimal of the Kanobas:

The sprite was made by removing the white parts of Houndour and then recoloring it with Teddiursa colors.

Also, I want to ask you guys who have read the Prologue and Chapter 1 to please comment on the story!

I've read it and from what I have read I have the following to say.

Positive stuff -

I like the idea
Nice dialouge
Awesome Dog :P

Negative Stuff-

Names - I am not a big fan of the names you chose. Patrick, etc. Patrick reminds me of a pink starfish

(http://dict.regex.info/cgi-bin/j-e/dict is a good Japanese-english dictionary. Make the drop down box "english" and write an english word and it'll give you all the ajpanese names for it)

Thats it so far.

Thanks for the comments and compliments :)

About the names, I only picked random ones... But further into the story, I will introduce other characters, such as Dave and Silver. Are Dave and Silver good names for you? :P

And why the heck did you give me that Japanese-English disctionary? :blink:

Sorry for not updating in over two weeks guys... but to compensate, here is Chapet Four - the longest, best, and most action-packed chapter ever!... out of the five I've written...

Anyways, I hope you like it and I'm expecting comments!

By the way, you may think the story is going a bit too fast, but I understand. I just hope everyone can follow along well.

He wasn't kidnapped... well, not exactly. You'll find out more in Chapetr 6 (which I already am writing, but will probably only post it on Sunday).

PICTURES

This is Master ???, leader of the Darkness of Time. He already does have a name, but I prefer to reveal it only in the story...

The first image is all thst Chris saw of him when he woke up in the dark room. The second image is what he shows to the world (what Gin and all other DoT members see of him). His real face will be shown quite soon, but you have to wait...

And this is Gin (we will now hear of him more as Silver, though). He is wearing his regular clothes and not the DoT uniform:
