"Now, jump inside the world of pokemon!" the screen of my Nintendo DS told me happily. I smirked slightly as I looked at it. I had just bought a new pokemon game and couldn't wait to try it out. So, I had stuck it into my DS and started it up. After filling in my details, I had waited for it to load.
I'm sure you probably want to know some of those details. Well, my name is Samantha Rodgers but everyone calls me Sammy. I like it that way. I'm around 5 foot 3, 17 years old, have shoulder length white hair and green eyes. It's all natural so I'm told but I have a sneaking suspicion that my mum had a white hair fetish and bleached mine and my brothers hair when we were little because both her and my dad and, in fact, everyone in my family, have dark hair.
Yeah; she's weird like that.
So, after loading, my new game had arrived at the screen where some old bloke was telling me to 'jump into the world of pokemon!' and as I pressed the A button, wishing I really could, something strange happened. Now it wasn't one of those strange things that happen every day like my DS decided not to work or the character decided to look exactly like me, oh no; this was something I never thought possible.
I felt myself gasp as a large purple hole opened in front of my DS screen. I jumped back startled as it got bigger, consuming me and dragging me in. I felt all the air seem to escape my body. It was painful and I found myself blacking out several times but then I was falling; falling through the purple light. I didn't know where I was going, which way was up, down, left, right. It was a confusing mess of everything.
I pulled my hand to my head. I guess it felt like pulling your hand through think mud though I can't say I've had the pleasure of experiencing that. I tried to look around but I was trapped, still falling. No, I wasn't falling; something was pulling me, pulling me through this thick purple light. I looked down but couldn't see anything and then, my mind went black as I passed out.

I had never known pain like this before. I felt like I had been hit by a truck which had then reversed and ran me over again before being hit by another truck causing it to fall and crush me. Ouch. I cringed at my own imagination and hoped that never happened to anyone let alone me.
I tried to open my eyes but the light was bright. I tried again, lifting my heavy lids before promptly blinking. Light hurts. I groaned as I pulled myself up, putting a hand to my head as I opened my eyes properly. Staring at the grassy floor which was defiantly not my bedroom matt, I waited for my eyes to adjust. When they had I looked around me. I was in the middle of the forest. Trees surrounded me an as my eyes widened in shock I heard a threatening growl coming from behind me. I span quickly around on my knees so that I was facing the maker of the noise and soon wished I had stayed where I was.
This was for two reasons. The first being that my head was now throbbing harshly from my quick movements and the second was because of the fang bearing creature in front of me. It was an Absol. I stared at it as it growled at me. What was going on? There was an Absol growling at me. An Absol. A pokemon. In a state of shock, I lied back down, collapsing onto the soft grass. The growling stopped. I frowned.
Looking back up, I saw the Absol staring at me curiously for a moment before its fangs were bared and it was growling again. Intrigued, I put my head back on the grass. Once again, the growling stopped. I smiled before repeating the procedure several times. The same thing happened with each. So I lay there.
Every few minutes I would pop my head up and look at the pokemon. It would begin to growl again every time but as soon as my head went down it stopped. Soon, I became bored with our little game and turned my mind to other things while remaining on the floor. Things like why I was here, what I was going to do, why the Absol was still staring at me from where it lay between two trees, why the Absol was in the forest in the first place because I had thought they liked to hang out in caves, why said Absol hadn't attacked me yet and what I was supposed to do in a world of pokemon without a pokemon. I found no credible answer for any of my questions.
I sighed softly before playing with the Absol again. This time it took a little longer for the pokemon to growl each time I raised my head. I considered it an improvement before closing my eyes and relaxing in the sun. Who cared why I was here? I was so I might as well enjoy it. And the Absol didn't seem to want to attack me so I left it be. Secretly, Absol was one of my favourite pokemon along with Ninetales, Arcanine and Roserade. I had other favourites too, but if I was to name them all right now I would probably be here a while.
It soon became dark and I could slowly feel myself drifting off. I knew that probably wasn't the best idea in the world but I couldn't help it. I was tired and I had been sitting out in the sun all day. A part of me was trying to stay awake in case of any pokemon who might decide to give me an unwanted call but another part trusted Absol. Soon, I couldn't control my mind as it became blank with sleep.

First chapter! I know that this kind of idea has been used allot but I believe it has potential, if done well. I don't know if I have done it well so I would very much like it if you could review and tell me… I'm not sure I like the beginning but I think it picked up after a while… maybe…
Please review!
