Ok second Pokemon story, the first one kinda rushed and requires a bit more planning, this one though is based on my game of Omega Ruby, just more adult and stuff. Hope you enjoy if anyone has any pairing suggestions then please let me know except for May, as she is with my OC.
(May Birch POV)
It was another peaceful day in the small town called Littleroot which was surprising as it was merely a few houses in the entire 'Town' The only reason why it got so much attention was because it was located near forests and nature which is what the main professor for the region wanted.
For me, it was just another regular day, except for one thing, my neighbour had moved which meant the next door house was vacant, getting a new occupant who was returning to the region after moving away.
I was slightly nervous at what they would be like as only people who my father accepted were allowed to live in Littleroot, mostly to protect the wildly untouched land and protect the Pokemon living in them.
Looking around the little town I sighed, I would be lying if I said that I was looking forward to meeting them. Not many people knew the people that were moving in and I knew even less.
A few minutes had soon passed as the sun was rising in the sky, when the sound of a truck rolling up the little road into the town alerted her that the new people had arrived.
Standing I walked over the side of the road to watch as they got ready to move in. The truck then stopped as a woman with blonde hair got out, walking over to the back of the truck opening it, as soon after a figure hopped out.
The figure was dressed in all black, black pants and a black hoodie concealing his face from heavy scrutiny, when he turned around however what shocked her was that he had a gas mask on (AN if anyone wants a better idea lookup Mute R6S) With red lights piercing through the shadow the hood created of their face.
When taking this into account that he was nearly two metres tall it was quite the terrifying image if she had to say so, intimidating her slightly. Taking a breath as I saw him look around, when his gaze fell on me. Deciding to appear friendly I waved only for him to look around him. Seeing the woman and the Machoke helping with the boxes.
He then turned away, making her feel slightly angry and sad that he just ignored, continuing to watch I saw them enter the house and not reappear.
Continuing on to my father's lab to see him and also to let him know that the new neighbours had arrived. Knocking on the door it took a while before the face of professor Birch appeared.
"Hello... Oh May how are you?" He asked opening the door further for me to enter.
"Good... The new neighbours are here." I said in a slightly sad tone.
"Oh good, why do you seem sad?" He asked now worried.
"Well, there was a woman with blonde hair and then a figure in all black, when I waved to him he just looked around before walking into the house." I said.
"Oh, I guess I should've mentioned that then." He said making me look up at him, wondering what he meant.
"You see, when he was little he... Had an... Accident, since then he has worn what you saw him in." He started, struggling slightly to find an appropriate word.
"After that not many people wanted to be associated with him, so when you waved in his direction he thought that you were waving to someone else." He said in a soft tone.
"In fact tonight we invited them over to dinner with us." He said smiling, only to frown at the look I gave him.
"What's wrong?" He asked me.
"Because he is probably some kind of monster or something!" I yelled slightly.
"That's the problem..." He sighed, shaking his head.
"What do you mean?" I asked now confused.
"You called him a monster, yet how long have you known him, seen him, talked to him and you are already calling him something he isn't just by ignoring you and wearing suspicious looking clothing." He said making my eyes widen.
"I... See..." I said sighing, lowering my head.
"Look why don't you try talking to him, while you go invite them over tonight." He suggested.
"Okay." said leaving, heading towards the neighbours house.
Taking a few minutes to get there got me to think what I would say, when I found myself in front of the door. Hesitantly reaching up to the door bell.
A few seconds passed before.
"Hello?" A woman's voice calls out as the doors open to reveal the woman she saw this morning.
"Hello I'm May Birch and your next door neighbour." I introduced myself.
"Oh hello, would you like to come in then?" She asked opening the door wider.
"Thanks, Miss..." I hinted, getting a small laugh.
"Oh silly me, My name is Jane." She said as she allowed May to step further into the house.
"And your son, was it?" I asked curiously as she looked around the house, boxes still here and there.
"Oh yes, His name is Ryvern." Jane said with a small laugh, before fading into a sad look.
"So why did you come here?" She asked putting a smile back on her face.
"Oh I was asking on behalf of my father if you would like to come to dinner tonight with us." I asked.
"Oh sure when should we be there." Jane asked as she looked at the time.
"Would five be fine?" I asked.
"Sure, would you like to talk to Ryvern, he's just upstairs." She asked with a careful expression.
"...Sure." I said nervously.
"First door on the right, and also before you go." She asked making me turn around.
"Give him a chance." She said sadly before going to to work organising the things from the boxes around the room.
Hearing this I couldn't help but feel a bit sad that she had to say that to me. With a little bit of fear in me, I soon found the first door on the right.
As I got closer I started to hear music playing.
(Song Monster by Imagine Dragons)
Ever since I could remember,
Everything inside of me,
Just wanted to fit in (Oh oh oh oh)
I was never one for pretenders,
Everything I tried to be,
Just wouldn't settle in (Oh oh oh oh)
If I told you what I was,
Would you turn your back on me?
And if I seem dangerous,
Would you be scared?
I get the feeling just because,
Everything I touch isn't dark enough
If this problem lies in me
I'm only a man with a chamber who's got me,
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me.
A monster, a monster,
I've turned into a monster,
A monster, a monster,
And it keeps getting stronger.
After listening for awhile she knocked softly on the door.
After a few seconds it opened revealing the man I had seen earlier.
"Hello, A-are you Ryvern." I stuttered slightly, making the figure before her tilt his head.
"Yes." Came a distorted voice scaring me more than I would admit.
"I just wanted to see my new neighbours." I said gaining a little more confidence.
"Ok, would you like to talk then?" He asked opening the door wider.
"Sure." I said stepping forward as he opened it further.
As soon as I did I noticed a very obvious thing, the whole room was painted entirely black, with picture of knives, skulls, duskull's, Houndooms' and runic symbols.
"So what do you want to talk about?" He asked still creeping her out with his voice.
"I was..." I never got to finish as a Duskull phased into existence in front of me making me scream.
"Oh this is what you could call my starter, Reaper." He said as the Duskull floated over to his hand to receive a rub on the head.
"We've been together for years, my partner through thick and thin." He continued as the Duskull made happy little noises.
"In fact I've thought of taking the League challenge, gain some more friends along the way, what about you?" He asked me slightly surprising.
"I haven't thought about it, I just want to help my father with his research mostly." I replied.
"I see, well good luck with that, so what did you come here for?" He asked me reminding me that I got interrupted by his Duskull.
"Oh right I came to invite you and your mother over for dinner with us." I said as he sighed slightly.
"I see, I spose mum said yes then... Of course she would." I heard him mutter at the end making me frown slightly.
"What do you mean by that?" I asked slightly annoyed.
"Oh... I just aren't that social, I would be completely content staying inside this room for the rest of my life." He revealed making me both surprised and slightly sad.
"Don't you have any reason to come out of your room?" I asked hoping there would be.
"Well my brother... I haven't seen him for a while though." He said after thinking a little.
"So... do you still want to come to dinner then?" I asked after we sat in an awkward silence for a minute or two.
"I spose, I won't eat though or show my face... Maybe if we become better friends or something I will, but not until then, it's uncomfortable for me to do so." He agreed having some stipulations still though.
"Okay, I'll let my parents know then, see you Ryvern." I said leaving the room, after I did the song he was playing earlier start again.
Leaving the house after saying goodbye to his mother.
While he was sort of scary, he also seemed lonely, I hoped I could help him with that, at least after I judged him so quickly.
So I hope that this prologue wasn't horrible, I've had most of this chapter written for almost a year before I finally finished it.
I hope you enjoy it, please review and suggest things to happen in it.
