Prologue

A cold shiver ran down my spine. I thought I could take on anything, but the creature before me made lance and his dragons appear as but wild Metapod.
"I refuse to be bound to a mere mortal like you!"
As the cat like creature continued to force its words into my head, the rain outside only strengthened.
"I am the ultimate creature, and unlike you not even destiny can control my wrath!"
The cavern was flooding faster, if I didn't end this soon I would likely drown.
I had to finish this now.
I blinked just as the sound of thunder echoed through the hollowed mountain.
The next thing I knew, I was elsewhere.

"You could have such a wonderful future, but you worry to much about the past."
The blue canine tilted her head. The look in her eyes was a sorrow like I had never seen.
"me and my brothers only hope you can let go, for if you don't you may well find yourself repeating history."
I tried to stay calm, but I couldn't. Not now, not anymore.
"You don't understand sui. They took so much from me. I thought I'd finally stopped them, finally made sure they couldn't hurt people or Pokémon anymore. And now I find all my effort was for nothing?
I can't let them get away with this!"
Sui turned away from me.
"I understand"
I couldn't see her face, but I knew sui was trying not to cry.
"I understand so much more than you think"
my surroundings began to shift and fade, until darkness was all that was left.
For several minutes I floated in the void. Or, perhaps I didn't? After all, floating requires a body.
Slowly the world started to form again, and as it did I was once again in a new place.

"Can you not see the path you're on?"
The creature stared at me. The diamond on its chest reflecting sunlight.
How long had it taken that light to reach here? How long had it taken ME to reach here?
"You must break the chains that bind you"
those words again. Why where they always there?
It didn't even make sense. The chains where clearly on it, not me.
"Hurry child, time's running out. You only have until the Millennium comet passes!"
I was dumbfounded. Hadn't that comet passed years ago?
I continued struggling with the chains, but the lock wouldn't break.
Perhaps they couldn't be broken? Perhaps it was to late.


My eyes opened as light shined in from a crack in the curtain.
I lay in my bed for a few minutes, trying to make sense of the dream.
It's not until I get up and throw off the sheets that I remember what today is.
What is today you might ask?
Today is my birthday, as well as-
"honey, time to get up. You don't want to keep professor oak waiting do you?"
My first day as a Pokémon trainer!
