I woke up in the middle of a forest near dusk, I had no clue where I was, how I had gotten here or where I had come from. All I knew was that I was most certainly lost. This place seemed strangely different to me as I stood and surveyed my surroundings. The trees covered most of the sky from view and rose nearly fifteen feet, maybe even twenty. The sounds of new and strange creatures filled the air as night came closer. I needed to find help, I needed to know where I was, that much I knew. Aside from that; I only knew that my name was Bruce Christians, or Chris for short, and that I wasn't from here. I walked maybe ten feet in one direction before I heard that inhuman cry coming from the area behind me. Instinctively I ran for the sound, not even sure what I was doing. I came close to clearing and stopped against a large tree to catch my breath. Suddenly, this strange green creature came running weakly from off to my right before it collapsed in the middle of the clearing. Three black dog-like creatures then appeared from where it had come from, quickly circling it. The green one stood weakly and I noted how it didn't have actual hands, instead of hands it had two wickedly sharp scythe's that were at least two feet long each. It held out one scythe and I could just barely see that it was holding on to a greenish white egg that it was desperately trying to protect. One of the dogs, the biggest and scariest, opened its mouth wide and let out a powerful stream of burning fire. I was suddenly scared out of my mind, dogs don't breath fire. I looked back to see that the green creature had dodged the fire easily but was now cornered by the other two dogs. It swung its scythe down at one of the dogs. The dog jumped back as its partner head butted the creature, sending it flying back till it crashed into the tree I had been leaning against. It fell to the ground and lay there motionless. I could see now that this thing resembled a bi-pedal bug the size of a human with its two scythes and four wings on its back. I locked with those fierce green eyes and the creature sort of spoke to me.

"Scy…" was what I heard it say with my ears but in my mind I heard a different sound, one I could understand. "Help me…" it said. As I looked into its eyes I saw that it could no-longer defend its self. When it had crashed into the tree, a large branch had fallen to the ground. I lifted it, with the intent of using it as a weapon against the dogs, and took my place standing between the human sized bug and the dogs. Something inside me had changed, some protective instinct told me to fight.

"Houn?" one dog growled which translated into "A human?"

"Houndooom!" another hissed "He wants to protect Scyther!" the third just leaped at me, clearly aiming for my throat. I bent my knees and smacked it across the back of its skull with my now deadly branch. It fell to the ground as an unconscious lump. The other two growled and jumped at me but they too were soon unconscious as well. The whole event took maybe thirty seconds but when I turned the bug was lying on its stomach staring at me in awe.

"Thank you human…" it told me, then using its scythe it rolled the greenish egg too my feet "Protect, my child…" it told me then was silent. I kneeled over it and checked for a pulse everywhere I could think of but found none, the bug was dead. As much as I wanted to honor the dead bug I couldn't, this forest wasn't safe and that was now clear to me. I picked up the bugs egg, closed the dead bugs eyes as a sign of respect and headed off in a random direction. It wasn't long before I ran into a road and started to follow it, soon after a police woman with dark blue hair drove up to me.

"Where you headed kid?" she asked.

"Ummm…I'm not really sure." I told her, she gave me a strange look "I'm lost." I explained "Would you be able to take me to the nearest town, preferably one with a hospital Officer…?" I asked.

"Officer Jenny, hope on. Ill drive you to Arora Town, Professor Bark and Professor Oak can help you out I'm sure." She told me, I hoped on the back of her motor bike and we were soon zooming down the dirt road. I held the egg close to my chest under my jacket the whole way to Arora Town as I held onto Officer Jenny with my other arm. I'm not sure how long it took us to get there but once we did, the Officer led me into a large building that looked like it could be a giant farm house. Once inside though, it was like I was in a science class. Two older men were in the back, studying some more strange creatures on a screen. "Professor Bark, Professor Oak, found this young man out in Illiextic Forest. He asked me to bring him here." Officer Jenny told the two men then left, leaving me with the two professors.

"Well, what's your name young man?" one asked.

"Chris." I told him carefully.

"I'm Professor Bark, and this is my colleague Professor Oak." Professor Bark said. He was a fairly large man, not completely fat but he wasn't close to skinny either. His dark brown hair was messy and looking into his green eyes I could tell that he was knowledgeable. He wore a white lab coat with brown pants and fancy black shoes. Professor Oak was almost identical to Professor Bark, he wore the same outfit but his hair was a light almondy color and he had brown eyes.

"Can you help me?" I asked them, tightening my grip on the precious egg.

"With what?" Oak asked. I pulled out the egg and both of the professors eyes lit up like Christmas. "Oh my god, where did you get that Pokemon egg?!" Oak exclaimed.

"Let us see it, we must find out what kind of egg it is!" Bark shouted then grabbed the egg. I ran in front of him and took it back, quickly putting it back under my jacket.

"I apologize for my partner, he can get overly excited at times." Oak explained. "Where did you get that egg?" he asked.

"In the forest, the mother was attacked by these three black dog things. She didn't make it, I promised to take care of her egg." I told them. Oak and Bark exchanged glances.

"This Pokemon you saw, what did it look like?" Bark asked.

"Pokemon? What's a Pokemon, is that what those things were?" I asked, they again exchanged looks of disbelief.

"This world is inhabited by humans and creatures known as pokemon. Some people have pokemon as friends or family, others catch and train pokemon for battles against the elite four on the indigo plateau. Professor Bark and myself study pokemon, the creature you got the egg from was a pokemon, can you tell us what it looked like?" Oak asked. I was confused beyond belief, I was sure that pokemon didn't exist in my home.

"It looked kinda like a green bug that was my size." I explained as simply as I could.
"And did this bug have scythes for hands?" Bark asked with increased interest. I nodded slowly. "You must have encountered a wild Scyther, they're bug type pokemon and very protective of their young. Its said that they only trust people with their eggs if the persons heart is pure, otherwise they'll fight till the death. Your very lucky to have that egg, hold onto it. When it hatches, you could become a pokemon trainer if you'd like." Bark told me, for some reason I liked the sound of that. "Of course we'd have to get you a trainers license, teach you the basics and what not. There's even a rookie trainer here who could help teach you before they left for their journey." He said, I liked the sound of becoming a trainer. And my first pokemon would be a Scyther too, for some reason I felt a connection to them. It was as if we stood for the same things, as if we thought the same way. All this happened almost a month ago, now I'm ready to become a trainer and search for answers about my past as well.
