Hello everyone! This is an idea I had for a Pokemon fanfic. Please read and enjoy!

Chapter 1

Awakening

"Where…Where am I?"

Those were the first thoughts of a creature suspended in a cylindrical tank, electrical cords attached to its head and body. The creature, when compared to a human, would reach no higher than their knees. The majority of its sleek and aerodynamic body was covered in brown fur. It had small, furry, diamond-shaped ears, a thin, black-tipped, teardrop-shaped tail that naturally rested pointing down, a big, black pouf of fur around its neck in the shape of a cloud with a shock of fur coming off the side, and a tuft of fur on the top of its head.

Currently, its eyes were closed, as if asleep. It was slowly becoming conscious after a long period of dormancy. Its mind eventually warmed up and sent out the signal for the Pokemon to open its eyes. Its eyelids slid up to reveal big, deep purple irises.

The Pokemon spotted many strange machines around it. The room was made of metal and looked like it had been partially destroyed: the metal sliding doors were crumpled and covered with ash, as were the walls immediately surrounding them.

Everything looked strange, the images kept waving before the Pokemon's eyes and everything was tinged with green. It looked down and saw the wires attached to it. This was too much for her to handle all at once, her mind went into shock. She swatted the cables off and slammed against the inside of the chamber as hard as she could. A few small cracks appeared on the glass so she slammed it again. The glass gave way and shattered, the Pokemon tumbling onto the floor and green liquid spilling everywhere.

Shaking the weird solution off of her fur, she glanced around once more. There was no longer a green tint or wavy images, but something still seemed strange here. She turned around to look at the containment unit she had fallen from and saw that there were many more next to it, most of them shattered as well, the wires hanging limply without the liquid to lift them.

"What was I doing in there?" she thought. This place was really starting to creep her out, so she turned to the crushed doors and slipped through a gap at the bottom.

She soon discovered that this place, whatever it was, did not stay consistent with the metal room she had just escaped. The edifice had everything from an elegant, roomy dining hall with a tall, spiraling ramp at the front to an enormous Pokemon battle arena surrounded by glaring spotlights. What was this place exactly? She couldn't understand it at all.

She went to the balcony and saw an expanse of water extending as a far as the eye could see. This had to be an island; everywhere she looked there was water. What was she doing in a place like this? It looked as if it hadn't been inhabited for years, not to mention the fact that there were signs of destruction all over: there were jagged chunks of stone and marble missing from the walls, staircases, and ground. Soot clung to any surface it could touch, particularly the areas of damage. Most of the furniture was either crooked or toppled.

She decided to move on and soon found herself in an underground cove. There was still one small, old sailboat docked there, apparently abandoned. Seeing no use in staying there, she climbed in and released the rope keeping it bound to the dock. The current carried it out to sea where the wind took control. It was a bright day, not many clouds in the sky. There was a slight breeze as the sunbeams shined down on the little Pokemon.

"This feels so nice," she said as she sat there feeling the warm wind on her face. She had never felt such a wonderful sensation.

After a while, the heat made her tired and she lay down, quickly falling asleep.

BOOM!

The Pokemon jerked awake as she heard the colossal sound of the thunder. Somehow, the quiet, peaceful weather she had fallen asleep to had been replaced by a raging thunderstorm. The water pitched violently, sending spray everywhere. The little Pokemon held onto a board on the inside of the boat for dear life, trying not to inhale any water. Soon the terrible winds ripped the sail right off the boat. The storm didn't let up even a tiny bit, it just kept hurling the boat in different directions, threatening to make the scared Pokemon lose her grip. Suddenly, a gigantic wave crashed down on the boat, tearing it to pieces, leaving the Pokemon to hold its breath. She finally resurfaced and swam to the nearest board, clinging to it with all her might. She climbed on top of the flotation device, using up what little energy she had left. She fainted, her body resting on top of the board as the storm continued to toss her around relentlessly.
