I put Fossil in apostrophes because it is a stupid name, and will be changed if it ever gets developed.
Basic Storyline:
You start in Alder town with your mom. The prestigious Professor Ginko invites you to his lab. When you get there, you see the Village Nurse Joy, Prof. Ginko, Gewitter (Ginko's Grandson), and Prof. Ginko's Granddaughter (You name her). He announces he has made a Time Machine, so that he can study ancient Pokemon lost to the Fossil record. All of those there enter it. The machine shakes and lands millions of years ago.
When the Time Machine lands, it breaks and its crystalline power source breaks into 10 pieces. Gewitter will fetch 5, whereas you must get the other 5. The Granddaughter says she'll get the five you want to get.
After you get your starter, the Granddaughter challenges you. After the battle, no matter the outcome, she storms off to the southwest. You must follow her.
Before you get each crystal, the granddaughter challenges you. When you beat her in the battle, she beats you up and you have to drag yourself back to the clearing to be healed.
When all the crystals are back again, talk to Professor Ginko. You must then release all of your captured pokemon EXCEPT for the starter, which came from the future. This is done to preserve the fossil record, making sure the past is altered as little as possible. You go back forward in time and meet with your mom. After doing so, you grow to become the mayor of your city. After seeing the inauguration ceremony, you win the game.

I'm not much of an implementer, I merely hope for somebody who knows how to hack to pick up this idea and put it to good use.
