Dark Glacier

Sorry about my lack of updating, I will be getting back to Journey soon, but have been having a little bit of writer's block and a lot of school work. Anyway, came up with this idea involving a trainer and two of my favorite Pokémon. I'll be selecting songs that I think go with the sub theme of each chapter. Anyway, I'm babbling…
Chapter 1: Dark Dreams
SONG: Whispers in The Dark-Skillet
Unknown POV
Fear, which is all I feel as I run away from wherever it is I'm running from. Everything's in a blur, I look back to see a small light blue figure running with me, as well as several armed soldiers with guns…shooting… at me and the figure. WHzzzt… a bullet rockets past my ear, nearly missing my long mane; wait a minute, mane? I shake my head, and I can feel and see very long locks of red hair. I also happen to notice the fur on my arms as well. What the hell is wrong with me? I think to myself, and why do I suddenly feel very much like a Werewolf? Several more bullets zip by, snapping me back into my present situation. Still running I begin to take in my surroundings, I appear to be in a large field, approaching a dark forest, me and the figure appear to be heading for it. We continue running as it begins to rain, giving the sky a very dark and ominous color, the ground beneath our feet- scratch that-claws is starting to moisten and mud begins flying up as we continue to run. More gun fire and I hear a blood curling scream next to me. I quickly turn and see the light blue figure collapse with a blood stain near its upper left shoulder. Call me crazy, but I stopped running towards the forest and quickly dashed to the figure's side. I quickly look at it and can't help but feel like I've seen it before. Not wasting time to contemplate on the subject, I pick it up and continue to run, but it's to late as I hear another gun shot and all suddenly turns a very nasty shade of black…
I bolt upright in my bed, screaming and unable to move. I look around and notice I'm back in my bedroom and that I'm not some weird were wolf thing; also noticing it's time for me to get up and go to school. I manage to undo my sheets and go about my morning routine, I should probably introduce myself, the name's Flynn, Andrew Flynn; I'm a high school student in lovely (and I use the term loosely) Edgewood Maryland. After I finished brushing my teeth, I grabbed my NDS powered it up, waiting for my game of choice to load up. Now, as a high school student, I loved video games as much as the next guy, but my game of choice was always a Pokémon title, Black, Pearl, Red, you name it, I had it, and was criticized highly for it, but I didn't care. Now I had had the opportunity to always start fresh when I moved to the next game, but being a tech genius also allowed me to keep my one favorite Pokémon with me no matter what game I played: Glaceon. Now I wasn't a total cheat, I only kept the moves I was using from the previous games and Glaceon, or Tara, as I had named her; I would reset her level to 5 and proceed throughout the game with me and her. Sure, I caught others, but me and Tara would always end up unstoppable, no matter how much the computer generated opponents would throw at us, we would always win in the end, though some miraculous move. Anyway, I had just "upgraded" to Black, taking me and Tara to the Unova Region. I started up my profile and there she was, waiting to continue progressing through the game. A few battles later, it was time to leave; I saved, shoved the DS in my bag, and headed out the door.
Andrew's POV
As I walked out the door, my thoughts took me back to my dreams the previous night. The majority of the dream had long been forgotten, just blurs and images remained. However, the fear I had felt seemed to stick, this fear of chaos, anger, hatred, and a general uneasiness seemed to hang in the air like a sagging blimp. I shivered, it wasn't a particularly chilly this November morning, but I felt very cold down to my bones. I lived within walking distance, so I didn't take my car, I preferred walking anyway, and I was starting to gain weight and needed the exercise. I got to school fifteen minutes later and began the daily drone of moving from class to class, Finally, 5th period rolled around, now 5th period was a study period where students could go to the library or a specific class they were having trouble with, I always chose the library, because there I could use my DS without fear of being caught by a librarian because they were always reading in between helping the occasional student. I picked a spot in a darker corner and sat down, taking out a large book as cover, I opened my DS and powered on the game, continuing where I left of earlier in the morning. As I was playing, a thunderstorm started brewing outside, letting me know it was there with an ominous rumble. I wrap up the battle I was in and head in game to the Pokémon center to heal up Tara. As I move my character, its starts thundering in game as well, which is a bit odd as my character enters the Pokémon center, my screen changes to a dark purple and a lone speech bubble appears; "Andrew Flynn, I know who you are, and it is my job to exterminate your kind from existence, you filthy half-breeds…" Excuse me, I think to myself, that's never happened before. Just as I begin to continue the text on display, two lightning bolts fire from both the thunderstorm outside and from my DS, causing me to freeze in place, and all of the sudden, everything fades to white as I feel a falling sensation…
Unknown POV
My only thought is concern as my Master lies on the ground, unconscious after a strange lightning bolt hit both of us as we were about to enter the Pokémon Center. We were in teleported into the middle of a forest, where exactly was beyond me. His clothes changed as well, and he just collapsed on the ground, being unconscious for the better part of an hour now. I glance over at him as I he begins to stir…
Andrew's POV
The white fades as I begin to regain my senses. I can feel a cold dampness and pressure on the front of my body, indicating I'm lying on my stomach. My arms ache as I move and push myself off the ground, bending my knees and eventually managing to sit upright. As my vision comes into focus, I observe my surroundings; I notice I'm in a forest, a bag next to me with some oddly labeled supplies, and a Glaceon staring at me. I blink, a Glaceon? That's impossible! "Gla, Glaceeonn?" the suddenly real Pokémon asked in an inquisitive tone. A wave of conflicting emotions sets in as I grab the bag and look inside, upon finding the name tag; I simply stare at what it says:
ANDREW FLYNN
SNOWPOINT CITY, SINNOH
That, was my tag in game, I quickly look through the rest of my bag, quickly finding all the items that matched the inventory of my character in the game. I finally look back to the Glaceon, though I already know who it was; "Tara, is that you?"
To be continued…
