Characters/ Nicknames:
Jack- Ifrit, age 13
Jack is normally known for his calm attitude, no matter what the situation is. He is loyal to his friends and would help out anyone who asked him to. Due to an accident when he was little, he lost his father, and a few months later he lost his mother in a house fire. No orphanage will take him in due to his "special" talent, which is also the cause of the house fire that took his mother's life, being the fact that he is a Pyro-kinetic. His two best friends, Ryfte and Vexus are the only people who look after him, even when it came to helping him rebuild his house. He lives alone, but that doesn't put a stop to his normally cheerful mood. He can't stand Noah.
Vexus- Frostie, age 14
One of the most popular kids in town. While the rest of the town, including his twin brother Noah, turned their backs to Jack, his little sister and he stayed loyal to his friend. Vexus is known for being the knight of the city, with an icy temper when he is made mad. He doesn't like conflicts.
Ryfte- Ixia, age 13
Cheery and optimistic, Ryfte is often seen as one of the two most popular kids in town. Her childhood friend Jack is one of her closest friends, but is more like a brother to her. She is sometimes too cheerful, especially when something bad involving accusations against Jack arise up from nowhere. She is also known for her short attention span.
Noah- Wolfe, age 14
A trouble maker, and often the cause of the false accusations made to blame Jack. He hates everyone and has the worst temper anyone has seen. His Hatred mainly stems toward Jack as he is the only kid in town to have a special talent.
Pokémon Centre, Viridian City 3:05 A.M.
Jack started to wake up, only to find Ryfte was in his bed. Trying his best not to panic and get out of bed, he noticed he couldn't move. Every morning had been like this since about two weeks ago. That was when they first arrived in this world. Jack thought back on those events to wonder how this had happened. While thinking about it, he fell back asleep as memories of the events played back in his mind.
Flashback- two weeks
It had been a typical autumn day, getting up and going outside to hang out with his friends. Jack was just getting out of his house, running outside in a pair of black jeans, and any T-shirt he grabbed out of his dresser. He also wore a black light-weight jacket over a blue hooded jacket. He had the darkest midnight black hair anyone had ever seen, as well as having one brown and one green eye.
After just exiting his house, he ran straight to the normal meeting place, and found his friends, plus one person he didn't like, inside the club house they made. Ryfte was in her typical outfit, a pink and purple skirt with black jeans underneath, a purple shirt with a heart on it, and her trademark purple hoodless and pink hooded jackets. Her long blonde hair was held back by a pink hair band, and her purple eyes shined brightly. Her older brother, Vexus, was in his normal outfit as well. Vexus wore a black T-shirt, blue jeans and his green jacket. His naturally grey hair was known throughout the community, and his orange eyes looked as if they were on fire. Lastly was Noah, who had a few scars on his face. Noah was in a grey jacket and black pants, with his menacing red eyes closed, and blood-red hair. The fact that no one in the club house liked was that he was the twin brother of Vexus.
"Hey guys, why is that Wolf here?" Jack asked.
"Our mom told me we had to bring him with us so we can keep him out of trouble." Vexus replied, slightly agitated.
"Well, let's at least try not to get into another fight like we did the last time you two were in the same room." Ryfte said, looking back and forth between Jack and Noah.
The two had a history of getting into fights with each other, normally started by Noah. Several of these fights ended in a tie, but every now and then Noah would almost kill Jack. Ryfte and Vexus then pulled out a board game, and started to set it up. However, half way into setting the game up, something unexpected happened. The floor of the clubhouse started to glow. Ryfte jumped up and grabbed on to the nearest person, which just so happened to be Jack. Seconds later, the light enveloped everyone, causing them all to pass out.
Jack came to when he felt someone shaking him awake. When he opened his eyes, he saw Ryfte, and someone else.
"Are you two okay? You know you really shouldn't sleep in the middle of the road." The stranger said, "Come with me real fast so we can call your parents. You're lucky you didn't encounter a wild Pokémon."
"A wild What?" both Ryfte and Jack asked.
"Are you two joking? There's no way you couldn't know what a Pokémon is."
"We actually don't, and who are you?" Jack asked.
"I am Professor Samuel Oak, and I have a feeling you two came from the same place that Vexus came from about thirteen years ago."
The moment that Professor Oak said the name Vexus, Jack jumped to his feet. However, Ryfte looked puzzled, almost as if she had no idea who Vexus was.
"You know Vexus? Is he around here?" Jack asked.
"I'm afraid he isn't around here. I'll call him and let him know I'm sending you two to him. As for your fist question, yes I do know him. He is the only person I know of who could calm down the Pokémon at the lab on their first visit." The professor stated.
Thirty minutes later
"Ok, I'll tell them that, though the one you described as your sister, she seems to have a problem with her memory. I had one of my assistants run a few tests, and she seems to have developed amnesia. She remembers her name and Jack, but can't remember you or anything else from where you came from. Anyways, I'll let you get back to your family while I send them your way." The professor said before hanging up the phone.
Jack and Ryfte were waiting in the professor's living room, waiting to know what was to happen to them when the professor entered the room.
"Jack, Ryfte, I'm going to give you two each a Pokémon, and some poke balls. However, Jack, you will be getting a pokedex as well. In the three poke balls in front of you are three Pokémon; Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle."
"I think I'll choose Charmander, but why am I getting a pokedex?" Jack asked.
"Simple, with Ryfte's case of amnesia, I would think giving you a pokedex will be a good idea as Vexus would like for her to stop as soon as she reaches Pewter City to stay with him while she recovers. You on the other hand will have more time to learn about Pokémon first hand if you continue on from there on your own. I might advise entering the Pokémon league challenge as a way for you to do so." Prof. Oak said, handing Jack Charmander's poke ball, five spare poke balls, and a pokedex.
Ryfte started to think, and grabbed Squirtle's poke ball.
"Ryfte, are you sure you want to choose Squirtle?" Jack asked
"I'm sure, and I'm going to do my best to recover. Just one question though, what does amnesia mean?" Ryfte asked, causing Jack and Prof. Oak to fall over
"You might want to take it slow as you head to Pewter City, as to hopefully get her up to speed with her current situation, and remind her of who she is and her past." Prof. Oak said.
Thirty minutes after explaining the concept of Pokemon battles and catching them, Jack and Ryfte left Professor Oak's lab, and started towards Viridian City.
Route 1, ?'s desperation
A girl at least age twelve was running, trying to escape the people following her. Her Purple hair shined in the light as she sensed the people she was running from. Having been abducted from her home in Saffron City for her immense psychic abilities, she continued to run. Pretty soon she sensed people approaching, but they were not like the people after her. She ran to them for help, sensing a power similar to her own in one of the two people. Only a few minutes later, she bumped into the two, accidentally tackling one of them.
Back with Jack and Ryfte
Jack had just finished his second capture, and was looking at his pokedex to check out his team. His Charmander, Blaze, Had just gone up a few levels, and had helped him catch a Pidgey, and a Nidoran(F), which according to the pokedex, was normally never found on Route 1. He had just heard some noise from nearby when he was suddenly tackled by something. When he looked to see who tackled him, he half expected to see Ryfte. Instead, Jack saw a girl he had never seen before. She had purple hair, and her eyes were also a stunning purple color as well.
"Please, you've got to help me." She said clinging to him as if he was the only other person in the world.
Ryfte, who was watching became both confused as to why she was feeling the second emotion, which was jealousy of someone clinging to her best friend.
"Ok, I'll help you, but can you at least tell me who you are?" Jack asked
"Alright, my name is…"
