This isn't my usual light, but I was inspired by a new acquaintance named Allen Itami. Our stories sort of run parallel to each other although the first few chapters of my story take place before Robin's journey in Journey of a Lifetime: Kanto. This prologue will give you a sneak peek to the enormous amount of action I plan to write in this story. There will only be enough romance to spice up the story. Example would be teenage love or a first crush, blushing and what-not. Whatever, on to the action-packed prologue of First and Only Chance.

Pokémon: First and Only Chance

The Midnight Forest, filled with blissful tranquility, and only the sound of nature's soothing sounds: its creature's calls, the wind whistling through its trees, and the whisper of the guardian's song. This usual peace was utterly disturbed by the earth rumbling sound of sirens and explosions. Gun shots and yelling could also be heard within the commotion. I, called Midnight (for various reasons), and my two companions, Ledian and Espeon are making haste heading for this forest in order to escape captivity.

We started inside of the confinement chamber as I was meditating on the floor behind bars. Suddenly, I saw Ledian fly up to the bar covered windows. It used Brick Break to crush the bars. I smirked and without even thinking about it dove out of the window. I sky -dived from the high tower into the courtyard. By that time, the guards realized I had escaped, and sounded the alarm. That is when Ledian and I booked it to the exit, which was located on the other side of the courtyard. Guards came out from all directions and eventually surrounded me. Ledian and I stole quick glances at each other before springing into battle mode. My companion was trained by me to head into self-defense mode whenever danger arises where I couldn't give him commands, so he automatically launched a swift attack while I punched one guard in the face while using his body as a human shield from all of the blows from behind. I then threw him forward before launching myself above him and dive kicking three more guards. A sweep kick to a butterfly kick sent down four more and then I drew my laser staff. I twirled it around while knocking more men down and then drove it upwards propelling two into the air, then quickly, I used the other end to bring them down to the ground. I took one moment to look to Ledian's condition and smiled when he was sending the men down with comet punches left and right. Once most of the guards were down, we made a break for it. We had finally made it to the exit when a man in a white cloak intercepted our path. I noticed his evil smirk and immediately took fighting stance.

"Battle," he said coldly.

"Fine… Father…"

He drew two poke balls and tossed them, releasing Meganium and Charizard. I gasped to myself as I only had one pokémon with me at this moment.

"What's the matter?" he asked.

"Nothing, let's go."

"Don't have another pokémon? Too bad, things stopped being fair since you decided to attempt an escape." His coldness barely phased me, but I was still annoyed. "Meganium, Magical Leaf!"

I rendered my thoughts back to the battle and quickly told Ledian to evade and counter with comet punch. Ledian didn't make it, however because the Charizard used Flamethrower to prevent Ledian from landing the hit. "Damn it, that fire-type was going to get annoying. Ledian, being a bug-type, won't be able to survive alone. Though, he could easily take Meganium on," I thought to myself. The Charizard let go another Flamethrower at Ledian, but it was intercepted by a Psybeam. My eyes lit up as I knew who that was. Espeon leaped into battle and stood by Ledian to protect him from Charizard.

"Alright, now, it's fair," I said sarcastically. The man's nostrils flared up as he called another move.

"Meganium, Body Slam, go!" The grass-type lunged toward Espeon with great force while using its entire weight.

"Oh really? Ledian, use Swift!" The star shaped rays made complete contact with Meganium, which angered the cloaked man. He called out a command to Charizard and it took to the sky. I took a moment to think, "Either he's launching a Fly Attack, or another attack from an aerial advantage." I quickly put Ledian on the defensive and Espeon on offense.

"Meganium, Light Screen, Charizard, Heat Wave!" He shouted. I thought quickly as I called for Ledian to open up his own Light Screen to cover both said pokémon and Espeon. Afterwards, I called Espeon back to defense, and Ledian on offense.

"Ledian, use Brick Break!" The punch allegedly went through Meganium's Light Screen and did critical damage to Meganium. This was evident because the Herb pokémon fell to the ground. Charizard came down from the air and drew back one of his arms. He readied a Dragon claw at Espeon, which hit directly. Espeon was thrown back and hit a metal pole behind me and landed in a puddle on the ground. His pokémon were definitely strong and motivated me to work harder. The Meganium rose to its feet and began glowing. Its antennae and the flower petals around its neck grew and shone a bright green. "This is overgrow, huh? So that means, its grass-type moves will be stronger, however it is almost defeated. One more good hit, and its gone. Then I would have to deal with Charizard. Unfortunately for me, I knew he wasn't going to let go that easily. I didn't see it coming when Charizard launched a Flamethrower at Ledian. Lucky for me, Espeon blocked it with its own body. The damage of the fire was weakened because Espeon's fur was still damp. It did, however sustain a burn. I began chuckling as Espeon stood tall.

"What's so funny, hot shot?"

"Just watch…" In one short second, Meganium was engulfed in small flames and fell once again. This time, it was down for the count. "Amazing you didn't see this coming. Surely you knew of Synchronize, Espeon's special ability, which reflects a status condition on the opponent."

"No…"

"Yes… And now, to end this… Espeon, use Psychic!…"

Since this is just a dream scenario I though to myself, "Hey self, all dreams come to an end otherwise we'd be in everlasting rest, meaning we would be dead inside." Anyway, read and review and tell me what you think of the writing style and other aspects of the prologue. I will finish chapter 1 soon so, stay tuned.
