I'm not sure. Maybe?
My computer is getting so wonky, I'm really tired of it...
For me it's hands and feet. D:
Don't laugh, kay? :3
(This was before D/P existed) So it's some years into the future, and all of the protagonists have moved on with their lives (It's not so important as to what happened to Ash, Misty, Brock, May, and Ellen [fictional character]).
Max [Maple] had wedded Vivi Winstrate who had given birth to a boy and a girl, Kirikotsu (~16) and Megan (~13). Unfortunately, Vivi dies some weeks after Megan's birth.
Max has become the new Gym Leader of Petalburg; he has become somewhat cold in demeanor and doesn't really bond with Megan as he does with Kiri. Kirikotsu has previously taken the Kanto and Johto League, now ready to challenge the Hoenn League. Megan is supposed to accompany Kiri, as it is her first time challenging any League. However, to prove her worth to her father, she wishes to travel alone. She also wishes to not travel with Kiri because he is quite abusive both physically and emotionally to Megan, blaming her for their mother's death.
The perspective of the story is mostly that of Megan's.
Megan is later accompanied by a few other characters.
Michael (The son of Wally from the games)
Lillian (The daughter of the new regional Professor Brendan Birch)
Bianca (The reincarnation of Bianca [dies in the great Altomare War] from the 4th movie who is brought back to life by Latias)
&Edward Elric (lolwut? For some mysterious reason he is transported to the Pokeverse with no recollection of his past. All he remembers is his mother's smiling face and a large silver robot wearing a loincloth)
Eh, there's a lot more to the story, but yeah...
I guess you could consider that a prologue. :3
