Chapter 1 – Deoxys Two

Who am I?

The creature opened its eyes for the first time. It looked around, and then wondered, Where am I?

It was inside of a glass tube, floating in a green liquid. It knew all of the names of these things instinctively, as if it had seen them before. But it had no memory.

Outside of its tube was a long room, with dim lighting and several other glass tubes. The creature thought it could see shapes in them, but its vision was distorted by the liquid.

Then it looked down at itself and asked, What am I?

It had two tentacles on each side of its body, and long legs with points at the end rather than feet. In the middle of its chest, something shiny gleamed. It couldn't tell the colors because of the green of the liquid.

Then its head snapped up as another creature entered the room. This newcomer was a human, the creature somehow knew.

Then the human was speaking, and the words came to it clearly despite the glass and liquid. In addition, the creature was able to understand them.

"You are awake, I see," the human said. The creature slowly nodded, then asked a question.

"Who am I?" it asked, somewhat surprised when its words came out not in sound like the human's, but as thoughts.

The human watched the creature through dark brown eyes. "You are a creature grown from a part of another creature. The creature that spawned you is called 'Deoxys', so you are named 'Deoxys Two'."

The creature who was now called "Deoxys Two" was disappointed with its name. I am destined then to be known by another's name, and not my own.

The human seemed to sense Deoxys Two's disappointment. "You may make a name for yourself. That is your true destiny."

Deoxys Two immediately became alert. "How?"

The human stared at him, then slowly smiled. "By destroying your namesake, you will be the only one of that name."
