CH.1 Innocence : disclaimer I do not own pokemon
All the meters were almost completely maxed out. The project was going better than they had planned. "My this one has a temper," one of the scientist said looking at the readings.
"Good thing you're in there, and we're out here," he said pulling a leaver.
Other scientist in the room began to take notes from the results of their strange test. "Project Gale is a huge success. You know Maxwell said this would never work my little Lugia," the scientist said looking through the glass.
Though he called it little, it was already big enough to take care of itself. This was no ordinary Lugia though. It had been a splice project with DNA samples they had found. Gale beat the chains that held him in place with his head, trying to break free.
"Richards will be pleased with the progress that's been made. That snobby Tetras Company is just trying to put the Hunters out of commission," the scientist said walking out of the room followed by his colleagues.
Ever since the poke'tracker had been invented a year ago, the Tetras Company had gone on to grow into one of the top businesses in the marketing field. The Hunters weren't so thrilled about the company's policy for making the world safer for both human and pokemon alike.
Gale slowly picked himself up with a confused look on his face. His muscles felt like they would explode at any second. He fell back onto the cold hard floor too tired to even hold himself up.
For a year now this had carried on. Day in and day out he would wake up feeling exhausted. He could only remember bits and pieces of things. His memory was such a mess.
He let out a long sigh of disappointment. He knew something better must be outside these walls, but what he didn't know. Gale looked at his wings which had never even been fully extended. What he wouldn't give to be able to stretch them out just once.
Suddenly the door slid back open. Three scientist walked in with clipboards in their hands. "This time lets turn it up just a tad bit," one of them finally said adjusting the knobs on the control panels on the sides of the room.
Gale suddenly felt a sharp stinging sensation throughout his body. It was as if some had stuck hundred of needles all over him. Out of no where came a new sensation of pain. It was like a headache of great magnitude.
Gale's eyes began to glow a bright red color. He reached down with his long neck and bit one of the chains that held him in place. The chain snapped as if it was made of string.
"Hurry, sound the alarm we have an emergency!" one of the scientist exclaimed.
A high pitched sound began to echo through the building. The sound only enraged Gale further as he broke the other chains holding him in place. He let out a terrifying roar which shattered the glass that stood between him and freedom.
The head scientist ran into the room to see for himself what was happening only to find himself face to face with his worst nightmare. Gale suddenly picked him up in his mouth and slung him into the devices on the walls.
Gale felt something poking him from his side as he broke out into the hallway. He turned to find four men holding strange objects that spat fire and made a cracking sound. Gale shot a powerful beam at the men sending them into the hallway's walls.
Gale rammed the ceiling once causing a large hole to form. He leaped up into the air and took off away from the building as fast as he could. He soon found out flying was harder than he thought it would be.
He finally lost control and blacked out. He slowly woke up on the soft sand of some unknown shore. Gale looked around at his surroundings unsure how he had ended up all the way out here. Where ever here was.
He looked around seeing nothing but strangely shaped objects that came out of the ground. They were brown on bottom and green at the very top. They swayed in the wind almost dancing to an unheard tune.
A loud cracking sound came from the sky causing Gale to leap into the strange objects seeking shelter. The sky which he had never seen before flashed a bright yellow briefly making another loud cracking sound.
Gale became very afraid suddenly remembering something about how he got to where he was. A small flashback came to him somewhat blurry. He saw many figures standing in front of him. Each one holding something he had never seen before, but the things they held almost made the same sound as the sky.
Not far off from where Gale was hiding a young boy no older than sixteen was walking along the beach like he always did when he got bored. He looked up at the sky and saw the thunder clouds coming towards Cianwood City.
He calmly walked towards an old cave he knew of which wasn't too far from where he currently was. Though he seemed normal enough, this boy had a special gift. Ever since he was little he had been able to bond with pokemon almost effortlessly.
Sadly his own parents disapproved of letting him have some of his own. They feared something might finally go wrong one day. Still the boy never did lose his love for pokemon.
He quietly sat in the cave now watching the rain fall from the sky. "It's almost like someone's crying," he said watching the rain continue to fall. He suddenly jump as he heard something stir in the cave.
"H-hello? Is someone there?" he asked looking into the darkness of the cave. Leave me alone, came a voice. "If someone's there it's okay I'm not going to hurt you," the boy said still looking into the dark.
Two blue eyes slowly came from the darkness of the cave followed by a long white neck and slender streamline body. Please don't hurt me, the voice said again. The boy stared in wonder at the rare being that stood before him. "Lugia…so they do exist," the boy said touching it's face.
"My name's Sam, and I won't hurt you," Sam said rubbing it's forehead trying to calm it down. My name is…Gale, Gale said thinking back to what he had been called for the past year. They had always called him project Gale for some reason.
Gale finally folded his wings and sat down on the ground. He had to duck somewhat to avoid hitting his head on the cave's roof. "What are you doing all the way out here?" Sam asked sitting down with him.
Gale stared off into space wondering the same thing. I'm not sure, he replied. Sam saw burn marks on Gale's wings out of the corner of his eye. "Were you in a fight?" he asked finally getting up the courage to dare ask about the burns. I can't remember, Gale said still staring out into space.
"Well at least you have a friend now," Sam said still finding it hard to believe that he was sitting next to a legendary pokemon. What's a friend? Gale asked looking down at him. "It's someone who's there for you when you need them,"Sam replied looking up at Gale.
