Before we get to the story I just want to point out that the first few chapters are going to be a little quick paced and this is my first story so please be kind and now we can get to the story. Oh ya I don't own anything pokemon related just the characters.
"Pikachu use thunderbolt!" I yelled to my best friend and partner Pikachu.
He quickly followed my command and sent a powerful surge of electricity at the now awakened Darkrai. Darkrai avoided the attack and sent a shadow ball straight toward Pikachu, and I could only stare in horror as the attack hit him directly and threw him against a wall.
"Pikachu!" I yelled as I ran over to my Pokemon.
"It's too late now." Said the voice of a man dressed in black as he commanded Darkrai to finish us off.
But just as the attack was about to hit a boy with black hair that was down past his ears pushed me out of the way. He quickly took out a pokeball and threw it in the air and out came a Charizard. The Charizard spit an ember onto the ground and charged toward Darkrai. I looked over at the boy and saw him give me a reassuring smile though I couldn't really see his face, but I noticed how beautiful his blue eyes were. I looked back down at Pikachu and saw him charging up a thunderbolt and before I knew it I was shocked awake.
Pikachu's thunderbolt shocked me awake and caused me to fall out of my warm bed. I sent a glare at him and he smiled sweetly at me. That dream felt so real but I shook it off and got ready for my day. I ran down stairs with Pikachu to find both my parent's were gone so we made our own breakfast. I was getting a bowl from the counter when I noticed the newspaper on the table.
"Check this out Pikachu, Team Moondusk is moving farther into the Kanto region." I said to my best friend as I showed him the newspaper.
Pikachu growled and I knew how he felt. Team Moondusk is an evil organization that uses Pokemon for their own gain. They started taking over in the other regions and moved into Kanto recently. Where ever they go they take all the Pokemon of the people in the towns. Because they've taken over so many places, many people have joined the resistance to stop their evil ways. My brother was one of the few people in our town who left a few years ago to help the cause. When he left he took all his Pokemon with him, all except Pikachu who he left to stay with me. That's why I treasure Pikachu so much, he's not just my best friend he's all I have left of my brother. I finished breakfast and went up to my room to brush my teeth. I looked into the mirror and admired my long brown hair as I pulled it into a messy ponytail. My big brown eyes shined back at me as I looked myself over, and was ready to start the day.
"Pika?" Pikachu questioned as I came back downstairs.
"What is it Pikachu?" I asked as he ran to the window and looked out.
I ran up too and saw my mother come running up the front porch. She quickly ran inside and closed the door and locked it behind her.
"Mom?" I asked her as she ran up to my room and started packing my backpack with clothes.
"What's going on?" She didn't answer my question as she ran back down stairs and put food and other supplies in my bag.
"Kate you must leave." She said as she finally looked at me.
"Team Moondusk has come to town and they're taking everyone's Pokemon, you must take Pikachu and run!" She said as she placed Pikachu's pokeball into my bag.
"What, where?" I asked as she handed me the bag and started leading me out the back door with Pikachu following behind.
"You must go to Johto and find your brother. Join the resistance if you have to, find him and he'll keep you safe." She said as she placed a kiss on my forehead.I didn't really understand what was happening but I didn't argue I gave her a hug and ran into the forest behind our house with Pikachu at my heels.
I stopped running after a few minutes and kept a quick pace. I looked back and could see smoke coming from town but I knew I couldn't turn back. I didn't really even know where I was going. The only way to Johto was a boat but I didn't know where I would find one. I also had to be careful to hide Pikachu because most towns were already taken over by Moondusk and if they saw him they'd take him away. I was too lost in my thoughts to notice the person following me and before Pikachu could get my attention I felt a hand grab my shoulder and spin me around. I then found myself face to face with a grunt member of Team Moondusk.
"Where are you going with that Pokemon little girl?" He asked with an evil grin.
He tried to grab Pikachu from my shoulder but he bit him. "So you wanna play it that way huh?" He said as he grabbed a pokeball from his belt.
"Fine, go Luxio!" He yelled as he threw the ball into the air and with a flash of light out came a Luxio. It growled as it showed its fangs. Pikachu jumped off my shoulder ready to battle.
I'd only battled a few times when my brother would have me practice with him, but this wasn't just some practice battle it was the real deal and if I lost it would mean losing my best friend. I knew I had to win so I quickly started with an attack.
"Pikachu use quick attack!" I yelled hoping to get the element of surprise.
My tactic worked as Pikachu got a direct hit sending the Luxio flying before the grunt even had time to react.
"Luxio bite attack go!" He yelled out to his Pokemon as a counter attack.
"Dodge it and use iron tail!" I shouted just before the Luxio got to Pikachu. Pikachu quickly dodged and as its tail glowed from the iron tail it smacked the Luxio back once again. The Luxio cried out in pain as it was knocked out by the second attack.
The grunt yelled in frustration and took out two more pokeballs. He threw them into the air and out came a Nidorino and Nidorina. Two against one wasn't fair at all and I knew Pikachu couldn't take them both on at once.
"Pikachu run!" I yelled as I ran in the other direction with Pikachu following me.
The grunt of course chased after us and I knew I wasn't going to be able to get away. I felt the grunt grab my bag and pull me to the ground. Pikachu tried to shock him but the Nidorino tackled him and then shot a poison sting.
"Pikachu!" I yelled as I tried to get to my now knocked out Pokemon but the grunt pushed me back onto the ground.
I knew it was the end, Pikachu would get taken by Team Moondusk and I would end up in some prison cell for resisting. But just as the grunt was about to tie me up a black orb came flying from the trees and hit the grunt sending him flying. I looked over and saw an Umbreon come running from in the forest followed by a boy with pitch black hair that went a little passed his ears, just like the boy from my dream.
"Umbreon dark pulse!" He ordered and the Umbreon send out a powerful dark pulse knocking out both the Nidorino and Nidorina in one move.
I quickly got up and ran to Pikachu scooping him up in my arms. He was hurt bad and by the looks of it was also poisoned. The boy walked over and pulled a pink berry out of his bag and fed it to Pikachu.
"That's a Pecha Berry, it cures poison but your Pikachu still needs to get to a Pokemon Center." He said as he brushed some hair from his eyes.
"Don't you know you shouldn't wonder around with a Pokemon alone?" He asked looking annoyed. "Go home little girl." He said as he started walking away.
"Wait!" I yelled after him. "I can't go home, Team Moondusk took over and if I go back they'll take Pikachu. Can you please just tell me where I can find a Pokemon Center?" I begged.
He stared at me a while probably deciding whether or not he wanted to help me.
"Come with me." He finally said as he started walking away. I didn't question him, Pikachu needed help and this kid was my only hope.
We walked for a few hours and as we got out of the forest I saw a town up ahead. It was Cerulean City which was taken over by Moondusk months ago. I knew they would have closed down the Pokemon Center there and I felt a bit of disappointment.
"It's no use, Cerulean was taken months ago. Team Moondusk has probably already shut down the Pokemon Center, and I'm sure they're all over the city." I said as I held back tears, Pikachu looked even worse.
The boy didn't say anything as he took out a Pokeball and returned his Umbreon back inside it.
"Return your Pikachu." He said looking over at me.
"I can't, Pikachu doesn't like his pokeball." I said looking down at Pikachu.
The boy took Pikachu from my arms and unzipped my bag. He then quickly placed Pikachu inside and zipped it up without even caring that Pikachu was hurt and started walking into town. I followed behind not sure where else to go.
"What's your name?" He asked as we walked into the town.
"Kate." I said nervously as we walked past some Moondusk grunts.
"I'm Brian Dean." He said as he glanced at them calmly and kept walking as though it were nothing.
I looked over at him and noticed how much he looked just like the boy from my dream. But what Brian didn't have was the beautiful blue eyes, or the kind personality. I frowned as I looked away.
"So Kate, do you have a last name?" He asked as he looked back over at me.
"It's Leaf." I noticed him frown for a split second and then his face went back to showing no emotion.
"Do you have any siblings?" He questioned even though it almost looked like he already knew the answer.
"Just an older brother." I said as the memories of my brother came flooding back. "He joined the resistance a few years ago." I added as I remembered the day he left me and Pikachu behind. "I'm looking for him actually."
I looked back over to Brian to see him staring at the sky like he was thinking.
"What's his name?" He asked looking back at me though this time I knew for sure he already knew.
"Alec, you knew him." I stated looking into his eyes and saw a blue ring around his pupils.
"Ya actually." He said looking away with another frown. Why was he frowning?
We finally stopped in the back of an alley way and I was about to question Brian's sense of direction when he opened up a secret door that revealed a set of stairs going underground. I followed Brian down and stopped when we reached a metal door at the bottom. Brian lifted up the black pokegear attached to his wrist and I heard a beep as the metal door opened. Once we were inside the door quickly closed behind us.
"This way." He motioned as he walked down another hallway. We finally arrived in a large room filled with computers and people and Pokemon.
"Welcome to the resistance." He said with a smirk.
I gasp as I finally got a look around. The room was round and very large, there were at least 50 other people walking around with clipboards or sitting at a computer typing away. Some were sitting around resting with their Pokemon and others walked by staring and what seemed to be admiring Brian. I looked back over to him to see that he was walking to a desk area at the center of the room.
"Commander sir I'm pleased to report we finally found her." He stated has he saluted the 'Commander'. Her? Did he mean me?
"Nice work Dean." The Commander said as he stood and saluted back. They both put their arms down and smiled at each other.
"Glad to see you made it back in once peace kid." He said as he ruffled Brian's hair.
"Ya well would you expect any less from me?" Brian said back with laughter.
The Commander walked from around his computer and looked over to me. He was really tall and had long brown hair, he couldn't have been that much older than me and Brian.
"I'm Cal nice to meet ya!" He said as he extended his arm for me to shake his hand. I quickly shook it and remembered Pikachu. I opened up my bag and pulled him out.
"My Pikachu is hurt, can you please help him?" I asked hoping since all these Pokemon were there, there would be some place to heal them.
"Whoa!" He gasped as he pressed a red button next to his desk. A Chansey came running up with a stretcher.
"Chansey please take this Pikachu to Nurse Joy to be healed." He said with a smile. The Chansey took Pikachu from my arms and placed him on the stretcher and took him away.
"Don't worry about a thing Nurse Joy will take good care of your Pikachu." I frowned not really sure if I could trust these people but Pikachu needed the help.
"Who are you people? Where are we?" I asked as I looked back over to Cal. He laughed and looked around.
"Isn't it obvious? You're in the Pokemon Resistance base in Cerulean City!" My mouth fell open as I looked around, so Brian was a part of the resistance!
No wonder he had a strong Umbreon. As if on cue Umbreon let it's self out of its pokeball and stretched as if it enjoyed a nice nap. I smiled at how cute it was.
"You're standing in the presence of one of the best agents the rebels have. He's never even lost a battle, not to anyone." He added with a smile. At first I thought he was talking about himself but was surprised when I noticed he was looking over at Brian who didn't look like he wanted to be called that.
"Not the best." He stated as he walked away with Umbreon following behind him. I was about to follow when three girls ran up to me and Cal.
"So you're her huh?" One with short spiked yellow hair said as she looked me over.
"She doesn't look like him to me." Another with long red hair added.
"Aw come on leave her alone, it's not like you've seen him in person anyway." The third one with short blue hair chimed in.
I was so confused I couldn't even think of anything to say other than "What?". They all started asking random questions that I couldn't even begin to answer.
"Now ladies lets leave the poor girl alone, she's been through enough today." Cal said as he pushed the three girls back. They all frowned and walked away. I felt so tired I couldn't even think anymore.
"You must be tired, let me get you a room." Cal said as he led me down another hallway. He stopped at a door and opened it taking my bag from me and setting it on a chair.
"Why don't you get some sleep hm?" He said with a smile and left. I didn't really need to disagree so I climbed into the bed and fell asleep.
So good or bad? Please let me know what you think and if I should continue. :)
