Hello people! This is the second fanfic I've started (the first one being Pokemon World Championships).

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon in any way

This story will be progressing alongside my other story :) .

The Pokemon Universe, a vast world inhabited by only pokemon. It was a truly cheerful, lively and harmonious place, you wouldn't be able to stop smiling once your eyes were laid. Pokemon were all over the place, conversing with each other, selling items to each other, playing around with each other, and even taking happy strolls with each other. It was without a doubt, a heartwarming place to be.

One certain pokemon, a Mudkip known as Fin, was just visiting his long time pal Charcoal, an energetic Chimchar. They were chatting joyously about things, whilst also gobbling up berries and drinking up cold berry juice. The day was kind of hot so the cold berry juice was the perfect refreshment.

"And do you remember the time when we swung on those vines and hurt ourselves! That was really funny!" chirped Charcoal. "Yeah, but it hurt as well. You broke your arm and I broke my tail, don't you remember?" spoke Fin. "Yeah, and that was the funny part," laughed Charcoal. He fell down onto the floor, kicking his legs wildly in the air, having his two arms placed on top of his chest, laughing so deafeningly. He was possibly even louder than a bunch of Exploud, roaring on the top of their lungs.

Fin was shielding its ears with its legs, unable to bear with the sound. Charcoal eventually halted his laughter and picked himself back off the ground. At this time, Fin also removed his legs from his ears.

Charcoal lightly dusted himself before saying, "Now Fin..." The fire type grabbed his drink and poured some of it greedily into his mouth. He placed down the empty container that formerly held liquid. "Do you think we should do something outside?" continued Charcoal. "It is a bright sunny day after all."

"The weather outside is fairly hot..." said Fin. "But why not? We can't just sit here all day." The actual reason Fin agreed was because he didn't want to hear any more of his friends irritating laughter. You see, it didn't only happen once, it happened almost all day so far. So having a chance to escape from the torture, the water type seized it with emotional pleasure.

As the two friends stepped into the outdoors, they took deep breaths of the wonderful air around them. Fin couldn't help but smile. "Ah! Fresh air!" breathed a happy Fin. "It is fairly hot out here, I'm getting hot already..." said Charcoal while fanning himself with his hands. "Are you serious? You should be able to deal with the temperature, after all, you deal with it all the time."

Charcoal engaged himself in thinking. "Oh right...of course I do..." He sighed. The Chimchar knew just what his friend was talking about. Himself.

"Anyways, do you want to go and get some moomoo milk ice cream?" asked Fin. "I haven't had one in ages!" "Er...Fin...I don't think I can eat one..." said Charcoal. "Why not?" Fin asked, failing to see the reason. "I'm a fire type," replied Charcoal. "I'll melt the cold treat in a few seconds!" "Right..." Fin said, now seeing Charcoal's point.

Fin and Charcoal were walking happily down the streets of town, taking their time to admire the wonderfully busy place. "You know Charcoal, just watching these people do things makes me really cheerful!" Fin spoke. "And why is this?" asked Charcoal with a raised eyebrow. "Well just look," Fin said pointing to two pokemon. They were having a merry chat, it was really obvious. The way they spoke, the way they used signs, just about everything they did showed that they were undergoing a happy conversation. "You see why now?" Fin questioned.

Charcoal opened his mouth to answer, but the sound of loud piercing screams stopped him. They both knew immediately that something was up. "What was that?" Fin turned around and started looking all over the place.

Charcoal spotted a floating pokemon, scaring a group of innocent pokemon off and making them run the other way. It was black shadow-like pokemon, with a white smoke like thing coming from its head, a red collar sort of thing, and eerie blue eyes. It just looked purely evil.

"Look at this," said Charcoal. Without looking back, Fin glanced beside himself and saw a bunch of pokemon all sprinting off one direction. He knew something big was happening. The water type turned around to see an evil looking pokemon floating above others, scaring them off. Fin's eyes grew wide in horror.

"Come on Fin, we have to get away!" shouted Charcoal above the other pokemon's screams. The fire type grabbed his friend by the fin and dragged him off running.

Ahead, Charcoal spotted another pokemon floating, scaring off others. This one was different though. A round purple like body with short arms and legs, and spikes coming from the top of its head. "There's another evil pokemon!" shouted Charcoal. "We have to run the other way!" He turned and began running the other way, but almost instantly stopped. Fin freed himself from his friend's grip and turned around. He saw the purple floating pokemon, blocking off anyone from running past him. Fin turned the other way. Another floating pokemon was blocking off the path. The pokemon in between were blocking off both sides, disallowing anyone to escape within the space they were allowing.

It was then that Fin figured out what was happening. They were being trapped.

Reviews anyone? (It would be helpful and thanked) :)

That was just the prologue of the story. The actual beginning of the story is coming.
