Okay, I've been workin on this for....I won't lie. Today. But to be fair it has the same potential as my other fics, and they did okay for themselves. Basically, it's just a journey fic. I haven't planned out any twists where a mad group of people are actually aliens, or someone is plotting to take over the world, or there are monsters. Basically, people have noted in my fics that I make good use of realism. How many of you have ever thwarted evil scientests on the way to school? None. My trainers are characters like everyone else. They fart. They (I can;t believe I'm typing this, it's embarrassing) wee and poo like everyone else. They burp. They actually change clothes and wash. They buy food and eat it. Unlike certain main characters in certain shows, they also tend to enjoy sleeping inside.
So basically, here is a preview of the first chapter. The title of the chapter gains relevence furhter on in the chapter, since, having no accomidation, the main character is forced to seek refuge in the woods.

Chapter 1 - If You Go Down To The Woods Today
“What do you mean, no Pokémon allowed?” an annoyed female voice yelled, “There are three Magikarp in that tank behind you, and I can see that Poochyena that’s supposed to be hiding behind your leg” She signalled to a fish tank full of water, and the leg of an overweight man behind the counter she stood at. She was in an Inn, which seemed to be stylish, yet cheap. Its walls were wooden and styled in Celtic shapes and symbols. In the “wall tank” as the slang went, since it was embedded into the wall, making a small window through to the other room, which in this case was a kitchen; swam three so called Magikarp. They were scaled and red, with small, bony bodies and large fins and a similar looking tail, both made of a strange slimy cream-coloured substance. On top of its wimpy exterior was a similarly cream-coloured dorsal fin, matching in colour also to the Pokémon’s long whiskers. Their mouths lay wide open, much like the Pokémon hidden behind the fat leg.
This “Poochyena” was small in size, and in brains, especially if it thought that it was hidden from Aleka. Although she had only been on her journey three weeks, the sixteen year old had already enhanced her ability to spot things easier, as most Pokémon Trainers were expected to do. With this increase in vision, it wasn’t hard for her to see a black and grey furry Pokémon sat behind the leg of a man on a summer red carpet.
“Look, I’ve said already, you’re not welcome!” Although the man shouted this, Aleka could see the nervous look in his eye, and the strange form of his mouth, making it look like he was being forced to do this.
“But I need somewhere to stay desperately,” pleaded Aleka, shifting on her pink trainers, “Can you at least point me in the direction of an Inn that actually lets people sleep?” Although she was being refused, she managed to keep her cool. Aleka Clark from Appella City wasn’t known for keeping her cool in a good situation, let alone when someone was refusing her something. But this journey so far with Aipom had changed her. She knew now that if she really wanted something, she would have to use sneakier ways to get it.
“I’m sorry, nowhere has vacancies at the moment,” grumbled the large man, following to take his Poochyena with him into the kitchen and locking the door behind him.
“Oh well,” she sighed, looking down to a small purple creature at her feet, “I guess we’re sleeping outside tonight, Aipom”
“Aip, pompom!” yelled the normal type Pokémon. Aleka seemed to understand it, as she moved down to her knees, placing a hand on the Pokémon’s shoulder.
“I know it seems bad, but there’s nothing else I can do,” she calmly stated, trying to console the Pokémon. “Anyways, you’ll be fine in your Pokéball.” This stopped the Pokémon whining, but instead he made a face and turned his back on his trainer.

Right. So after this, Aleka must go into the woods basically, to skip everything else. She finds some suprises in there
What do you all think so far?
