Well, her last visit was today, so she should be getting her entry in soon.
The story takes place in a fictional world for Pokémons, named “Acies”. Acies is divided into four kingdoms:
Acqua,
Terra,
Fuoco and
Vento. As of now, the world of Acies is in a state of peace and harmony. Pokémons live in there in tranquility and the world is more than paradise in its very nature. In Acies, Pokémons socialize with each other and talk with one another. They roam freely and travel peacefully. They know little about why they are there or why Acies exists, but for them, it’s not a problem that desperately needs a solution. They are aware about the existence of humans, but they have no idea where they live or what the humans look like. For them, it’s a mystery that is almost impossible to solve.
Do you think Acies is a perfect paradise? Let’s find out.
The story begins with Bellossom, a cute grass-type Pokémon with two beautiful red flowers on her head. In the story, she is known as a respectable vendor of Pokémon Goodies in an evacuation area named “The Pokémon Mansion”. The said mansion was created by Gengar and it is now a home for more than sixty homeless Pokémons, including her. She sells items in her shop that are proved to be useful for travelers.
Why is Bellossom homeless in the first place?
Bellossom is actually a fugitive. She is banned forever in the Kingdom of Vento, saying that she disobeyed one of the Top Rule. “No one is allowed to touch the Forbidden Sun Stone,” but the young Gloom still touched it, turning herself into Bellossom. After the incident, His Highness King Cacturne of Vento issued a decree that will ban Bellossom forever from entering the said kingdom because she violated the Top Rule.
Since then, she became a nomad traveling the cruel world of Acies. But luck didn’t leave the poor Bellossom: the Kingdom of Acqua welcomed her. The Kingdom of Acqua assigned her to live in Pokémon Mansion, an orphanage or an evacuation area for the homeless and the fugitives. She may live in there peacefully but in return, she must become a loyal servant to Gengar.
She later stands her own shop to earn a living.
Bellossom is always in her shop to serve the travelers who are passing by the Pokémon Mansion. She is happy to serve every traveler that she meets.
One day, an Exeggutor in-panic approached the vendor.
“Have you seen Gengar?” he nervously asked Bellossom.
Bellossom replied, “No, he hasn’t been here for a while. He only appears and dwells here at night. If you can, you will have to wait until the sun sets. He’ll appear sooner,”
“I can wait,” Exeggutor answered but he is still shaking in nervousness.
Bellossom can’t understand what’s happening to Exeggutor so she began asking “Something wrong?”
“Haven’t you heard what happened to the Acqua Proper?” asked Exeggutor.
“I know,” answered Bellossom. “The Acqua Proper is the center of the Kingdom of Acqua. Acqua Proper is the lake area where the Acqua Palace is located. I heard the news a week ago that the area is in ruins after a set of natural calamities. But don’t worry about it. It’ll be OK sooner or later. They have this sacred thing named the Blue Orb that has the ability to repair any damage done to the Kingdom of Acqua.”
“Yes, but the problem is that the Blue Orb is dried up,” said Exeggutor, with his throat drying, “The castle guards took the Blue Orb from the Acqua Fountain. They are supposed to use the Blue Orb’s powers to repair the damages done on Acqua Proper. But unfortunately they don’t know how to use it so the guards started experimenting on what to do to the orb. The Blue Orb dried up after several hours because it was out of the fountain for so long,”
Bellossom can’t believe that the royalty just let the guards use the orb. Usually, the royal family, particularly the king: His Highness King Kyogre of Acqua, are the only ones permitted to use the Blue Orb because they are the only ones who can use it. “You mean the royalty just let the guards use the orb?” asked Bellossom with curiosity.
Exeggutor immediately replied, “Yes, and now the Acqua Proper is in ruins and no one can help now. Fortunately, the Blue Orb can regain its powers by recharging it,”
“That’s good,” Bellossom was relieved upon hearing that the Blue Orb can regain back its former powers.
“BUT, there’s another problem,” Exeggutor said with disappointment, “The Blue Orb requires a recharging period of more than eight days. That means it’s a lot of time. The citizens are now homeless so I’m planning to create an evacuation area. The homeless can stay there until the Acqua Proper is repaired. The evacuation area can help a lot. I’m sure there are thousands of homeless Pokémons out there, and Pokémon Mansion is already full so it means the evacuation area is really needed,”
Bellossom is interested about Exeggutor’s charitable plan and she wants to help Exeggutor create an evacuation area for the homeless after what happened to Acqua Proper. Bellossom has a very kind, cheerful and helpful personality that’s why she can’t resist seeing the homeless wander around poorly, with no home or food. “I’ll help you!” she exclaimed with willingness.
“Thanks, Bellossom!” Exeggutor happily accepts Bellossom’s offer. “But we need Gengar’s help. He can help us create the refuge after his experiences on Pokémon Mansion. He can help us make a layout for the said evacuation building,”
Their talks continue until the sun sets. It’s already night. Gengar appears at front of Exeggutor and Bellossom. “Here he is,” Bellossom said with happiness and excitement.
Later, Exeggutor explained his plan of making an evacuation area, and Gengar immediately agreed on his proposal. They'll now start on making the refuge.....
Ideas, Inspirations and Comments on the Fanfic:
The above story is my newest fanfic! Sorry for not giving a proper introduction for the simple fanfic that I just made. And the story above is only the introduction, it's because the 'real' story and plot didn't arrive in the limits of the challenge (800-1000 words are only permitted so I didn't post the rest after reaching the limit). That's why the story seemed boring enough without the other chapters....
Maybe someone's asking why I didn't compressed my fanfic so that the readers will be informed by the real argument and plot that I'm talking about. Well, it's because I'm not a fan of a fanfic composed of only two chapters (with 500 words each). I want to explain the events word by word, that's why I don't want to compress it.
This fanfic is actually a "soup of all ideas" I have in mind after playing a lot of Video Games (especially Pokemon) and watching lots of TV Shows. My life and experiences on Pokebeach also motivated me on creating this fanfic.
*All metaphors*
Time Elapsed:
9 - 10 (?) hours

The challenges are getting hard (but I like it !) and I have the feeling that I'll be out this turn around. I'll use this opportunity to bid goodbye to all of you if somehow I'll be the next one to be dropped from the list. I certainly enjoyed Project Custom, and I'm proud I've been selected in here as one of the fifteen contestants who are very good in spriting and making banners etc... But I think this is the end for me. I'm very busy in my real life, and I know you all know it too. With the increase of my homeworks plus studying for the successive exams in the school, I certainly can't think straight on the ideas I have to use for this challenge. And studying would be my first priority, I'll rather study for the exam overnight than going to make my fanfic "the most perfect" (and thus leaving the study habits behind, the result will probably be low grades in school...). I'm happy to be part of Project Custom. By the way, good luck for the remaining participants, especially Moneyking63, who won two times from the previous challenges (and because he is really doing very well in the contest, I mean REALLY) and it's also because he
rocks !
And B-Ray, I congratulate you for making the contest great and well-organized, and I thank you for making the contest one of the greatest contests I've ever participated.
