Prologue

Just my luck.

"Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!" I heard a voice call, and the Mouse-like Pokemon charged up another bolt, and launched it at me.

I almost managed to jump out of the way. Almost. I flinched in pain as electricity surged through my body. As I recovered from the attack, Pikachu then quickly started charging once again.

In Arceus' name, couldn't I just have a normal day?

I ran out of the opening in the forest, where we happened to be battling. I couldn't take any more hits; they would capture me, then.

"Hey! Come back here!" The voice called again, and I heard not only the Mouse-like Pokemon's footsteps nor my own, but the footsteps of that trainer.

I ran back into the forest, and the Trainer and his Pokemon put chase after me. Unfortunately, I just realized that I was running on the dirt path. Bug-Pokemon Catchers and other types of people in the forest were surprised by the blur of black that just

ran past them, and a Pikachu and Trainer chasing after me.

I needed to lose them, and fast. I drifted off the path into the forest, while the Trainer tripped over some roots. The Pikachu still chased after me into the forest. I weaved through the trees, hoping to lose the Mouse-like Pokemon, but it was no luck. It was still chasing me, and seemed to be catching up...

I noticed a clearing of trees, and sprinted towards it, glad to be out of the unknown area.

Unfortunately, Life has a way of messing up your day even more... The clearing was actually a cliff, and I ended up running off that ledge. Panicking during the drop, I closed my eyes tightly, and waited for death to come...

I heard an impact, but no pain came. I opened my eyes to see... I'm underwater?! I swam up as best as I could, and swam to a cave near the shore... As I crawled into the cave and into a rough ground, I got up, and walked a bit deeper in. More so trudged though, as I felt weak. After a few minutes, I colapsed against a wall, and Unconsciousness came...

Some Umbreon I am... Was my last thought before the darkness came.
