Alright everyone, It's been a long time since I've posted anything. I'll try to do better on that though. Past few months I've been fairly busy, school and such has been a strain and ive been seeing some military recruiters. The story I had started prior to this is done with, im basically re-starting it is all. A few things may have changed here and there but it's the same idea. As always, im open to any suggestions you guys have. Post comments and what not, give me some feed back please! Ill do polls and stuff but just leave comments and ill do my best to check them out.

The darkness was overwhelming, my eyes were shut but I felt as if the darkness that surrounded me was trying to consume me. My memories were clouded, if not completely gone. I knew basic things like who I was but that was about it. My name was Bruce Christians, or Chris for short, and I was hopelessly lost. I opened my eyes and it was clear that I laid on my back starring into the night sky. The stars twinkled and shone brightly, faintly illuminating my surroundings. I was in some kind of forest, that was clear, but the creatures that I heard in the distance from every direction weren't any that I could distinguish. Where was I? I heard a piercing cry in the distance and what sounded like dogs chasing a target. Not sure what I could do to help anyway, I headed the opposite way. The cries and howls started to get closer to me and I began to walk quicker. Closer and closer they came and soon I was running in a mad dash to escape whoever or whatever might be pursuing me. Within moments the cries and howls of the monsters from these woods sounded as if they were right behind me, on instinct I leaped for a low hanging branch on a tree and pulled myself up. I prayed id be safe here from whatever had been chasing me. I quickly took in my surroundings, ahead of me was a decent sized clearing and everywhere else was more forest. I heard movement below me and froze, praying I wouldn't be seen. A green blur ran below and into the clearing and stopped. Searching for some place to go. Whatever it was, it looked like the world's largest bug. It was pure emerald green with two foot scythes in place of hands. Its body looked as if it was armor plated, and were its 'armor' attached to its head it looked as if it was split in two. The top half was smooth and had three dulled points in the back while the bottom seemed to be more rough and layered. On its back were four crystal clear wings that looked broken and cracked, as if the beast had been attacked. Its legs were long and sturdy, three claws sprouted from each emerald green foot. Whatever this bug was it was amazing and mesmerizing. It took a step forward before a big, black, dog thing jumped from the forest and landed in front of it. The dog was almost pure black with a blood red muzzle and devilish white horns coming out of its head. Boney rib like things curved around its body and around its feet. All in all, the dog was terrifying. Two more popped up and stood side by side with the original, the growled at the bug and looked ready to attack. Then, one of the dogs jumped forward trying to tackle the bug. The bug leaded out of the way, coming closer to my tree of safety, but as soon as it landed the dog that had attacked let forth a stream of billowing fire from its maw and sent the bug crashing into my tree. The tree shook violently and I lost my grip, falling to the ground behind a bush and taking the branch with me. It was only by luck that the dogs didn't see me but the bug had, we locked eyes and was only now that I realized the bug was trying to protect an egg. The bug let out a weak sound for help, but what my ears heard and what my mind heard were totally different.

"Scy…" the bug said and that's exactly what I heard it say but in the back of my mind I heard a voice I could understand. "Help…" was what it had said. I knew it was dying and I wanted to run for my life, but something inside me wouldn't allow that. I knew what I had to do, how I would do it I don't know but one way or another I would. I lifted up the broken tree branch and stepped out, standing between the dogs and the bug. The dogs stopped, apparently confused.

"Houn?" I heard one say but in my mind I heard it in another voice, a deeper voice. "What's this?" the dog said.

"The human wishes to protect the Scyther!" another shouted in a mocking tone. They all began to growl again and I swore it sounded like they were laughing at me. I tightened my grip as one readied itself to tackle me. The dog leaped towards me and I quickly wacked it aside with my now deadly tree branch. The dog crashed to the ground, rolled into a tree, stumbled to get up before lying on the ground unconscious. The remaining two dogs starred at their friend in disbelief before launching themselves at me as well. The first I easily knocked away but the second locked its jaws onto the center of my branch and pushed me to the ground. I fought to keep it from my face but it was an even fight at best. I gathered all my strength, reared my arms back slightly and threw the dog off me. I flipped to my feet just as the dog leaped again. I pointed the branch at it and slammed the end into its throat. It fell to the ground gasping for air before running away. I turned back to the bug to see it staring at me in awe.

"You saved me human…" the bug said weakly. It pushed itself to its side and revealed its egg, looking between it and me. It rolled the egg to my feet, lying flat on its stomach. "Protect…my child…" the bug begged me then shut its eyes for the last time. I stood silently, staring at the white and green egg. I picked up the egg, tucking it under my jacket. Then I blindly headed out to where I hoped to find civilization, holding onto my branch just in case. I walked for what seemed like hours on end before I came to road and followed it south to where I saw the lights of a small town. A bright light from behind lit up the road but I kept walking, intending to ignore whoever it was if they just passed me by. A blue motor bike pulled to a stop next to me and young woman with shocking blue hair stepped off.

"Where you heading kid?" the woman asked, staring questioningly at my branch before noticed the egg. "Let me see that sir…" she said reaching for the egg, I lifted my branch and growled at her. She backed off but demanded to know where I got it.

"The mother was killed...I didn't think it would be right to leave the egg." I told her, deciding it best to not mention I understood what it said to me. She nodded and it appeared to be a good enough answer for her.

"So, where you heading kid?" she asked again.

"I'm lost, I don't remember how I got here…...I'm heading there." I told her pointing to the lights with my branch. She looked that way then climbed back onto her bike.

"Hop on, I'm heading to Arora town anyway." She told me and I hopped on the back of her bike.

"Thank you officer…" I started to say, not sure what to call her.

"Jenny, and no problem." She told me as we sped off towards Arora town. We didn't talk much on the ride there, well, we didn't talk at all. I was focused on keeping the egg safe and trying to remember anything about myself. Eventually I gave up on that though and moments later the bike came to a stop and Officer Jenny led me into a large building, the largest in all of Arora town. We walked in at almost midnight and I was surprised that anyone was still awake in there but sure enough, two older men stood around a desk full of notes. The one on the right wore large glasses and a white lab coat, as did his friend, and he had dark brown hair that was almost black but not quite. He wasn't fat but he wasn't skinny either, I'd say he leaned more towards being fat. His partner was dressed similarly but wore no glasses and had shaggy dirty blonde hair. He was more thin and possibly more fit as well. Officer Jenny called out to them and quickly explained to them where she had found me, I was extremely grateful that she had not mentioned my egg, then she was on her way after a few farewells.

"Well young man, you appear to have been lucky that Officer Jenny stumbled upon you when she did. Who knows how long you may have been out there!" the dark haired man joked. I didn't respond.

"Pardon my colleague, its past his bedtime." The other said, glaring down his 'colleague'. "I am Professor Oak, and this is Professor Bark." The blond man, professor Oak, said. "Is there anything we can do for you young man, you seem exhausted." Oak said compassionately. I hesitated for a moment, but decided it best to ask for their help.

"I need your help…" I announced wryly, tightening my grip on the egg.

"With what?" Bark questioned. I pulled out the egg from under my jacket and Barks eyes grew wide with excitement and he became giddy and began to act like a school kid who won a lifetime supply of chocolate. "Where on earth did you get that kind of pokemon egg!?" he shouted, grabbing the egg from me and examining it every which way. When one hand was free from the egg I grabbed it and bent it back till he began to bend backwards. "Ow ow, ok ok, here's your egg." He said, handing the egg back to me. I took it, released his hand and placed it under my jacket again, watching him carefully.

"Son, where did you get that egg?" Oak asked, leaning back against their desk. I quickly recapped everything that had happened. Waking up in the forest not knowing where I was or who I was for that matter, running from the creatures chasing me, then fighting off the dogs and getting the egg from the bug that died seconds later. I ended with how I met Officer Jenny. "I see, well the 'dogs' you mentioned sound like the pokemon Houndoom and the bug must be a Scyther. You said it had scythes for hands right?" Oak asked, I nodded. "Then, that must be a Scyther egg. Its said that adult Scyther will only leave their eggs with people who have pure hearts, or the heart of the warrior. It's a great honor." Oak announced.

"Did you truly encounter a wild Scyther? They're super rare pokemon in Roer, so I am amazed in the least." Bark said, I nodded again. I asked them what pokemon where and they both gave me a quick crash course in the world of pokemon.

"Well, since you've got that egg you should really consider becoming a pokemon trainer. We could teach you the basics and some advanced stuff but a lot of it you would learn while you're out exploring. You could have your own trainer's license by the end of the month if you wanted." Professor Oak told me, and that's how my new life started. I've made a few friends since that day and have been trained by the professors to be a pokemon trainer. I've learned a lot but I still don't remember where I came from. Tomorrow I set out on my very own pokemon journey, setting out to find some answers and to become the very best there ever was.
