Pokémon au where Hiro and Tadashi are not trainers but when Tadashi suffers an accident and is in a coma Hiro, who at the time was 10 years old, notices the bills from the hospital piling up and also take notice that pokémon battles/contests make good money, finishes high school at 11 and runs away to take part of both to help with the bills...
oh goodness baby hiro off in the world all alone oh noooo D:
Wait, it’s the Pokemon world. Kids run off and get into deadly battles with killer monsters as their only defense all the time. He’ll be fiiiine :D
But poor Aunt Cass can’t help but worry. She wants to send him off with Mochi at least for protection, the only Pokemon the family still has after she gave up her Pokemon journey years ago to raise the boys after their parents died, but Mochi’s too old to be getting up to such shenanigans anymore. Besides, the Purugly was never much of a battler. He preferred contests.
But thankfully Tadashi was working under Professor Callaghan, the region’s Pokemon Professor, and Aunt Cass is able to call him for help. The day Hiro is ready to start on his Pokemon journey, Abigail - acting as her father’s assistant in Tadashi’s place while he’s in a coma - arrives carrying a single pokeball in a box. It’s not one of the usual starters, she regretfully explains, because Hiro is starting his journey later than most kids do and all of the starters were already chosen. But her father had an interesting Pokemon lying around the lab, and when he heard about Hiro’s circumstances he thought that this Pokemon would be a perfect match.
Curious, Hiro reaches to pick up the pokeball, eager to see who his future starter would be...
