By ZBargher

LOCATION: Some club/bar in Johto

Chapter 1: Till I collapse

A shinnyish looking man walks into the bar. He had a black t-shirt on. Over that was a light blue hoody with sleeves rolled up revealing his tattoos on his forearms and hiding his okay looking muscles. He also had on dark baggy jeans and red player shoes. He had a gotye and really short red hair.

The song Act a Fool by Lil Jon and 3 6 mafia comes on.

The man walks over to the bar and sits down next to a baldish man in a lab coat and glasses.

Man: "Yo. Can I get some goose vodka over here please."

The Bar Keeper nodded his head and started to pour the drink. The man turned around and leaned up against the bar. He skimmed the whole area. Everyone was dancing and having a good old time. The man turning back to the drink and took a sip. The man in the lab coat turn to the man and noteced the scar running down his face.

Man: "It was a sword cut."

Lab coat man: "What?"

Man: "The scar. A sword did it. Hi I'm Blade."

Lab coat man: "Oh. I'm Professer Elm. How did you get cut by a sword? Wait, your not a killer are you?"

Blade: "Me? No. I just happend to run into a killer and fight him off. So whats a Professer like you doing in a place like this?"

Elm: "Drinking myself to death."

Blade: "Why?"

Elm: "My wife is devorsing me."

Blade: "What did you do?"

Elm: "Nothing. She cheated on me."

Blade: "Oh I see. Elm, my advice to you, is to fight for your woman. To MAN up."

Elm: "What if that doesnt work?"

Blade: "(Sigh) As long as you man up till you collapse, it should work. If it doesnt, move on."

Blade then finish his drink and stood up.

Blade: "See ya around Elm."

He walked out of the club and down the street. Elm looked into his drink and the song ended.

Elm: "...Till I Collapse..."

The manager overhearing everything told the DJ something. The song Till I Collapse by Eminem came on. Elm got up chugged the drink and as he walked out he heard, 'Till the roof comes off, till the lights go out, till me legs give out, cant shut my mouth.' Elm walked down the street torwards his house.

Elm: "...Till i collapse... Till i collapse..."

Elm walked up to his house.

Elm: "TILL I COLLAPSE!"

Elm tried to open the door but it was locked.

Elm: "TILL I COLLAPSE!"

Elm slammed against the door breaking the door down.

Elm: "TILL I COLLAPSE!"

Elm walked in the house and stomped up stairs. Little did he know he was being watched by Blade. Blade smiled and when he heard yelling and screaming, he left. Again walking down the street.

He walked to his street and to his house. When he got there he saw a man in a trench coat standing by his house. Suddenly he lit a match and through it at the house. In seconds the house exploded in flames.

Blade: " Ahhh! What the hell are you doing!"

The man smiled evily and ran into the woods next to his house. Blade chased after him into the woods. The woods were dark and after every step it seemed darker. The man must have been more in shape because Blade was loosing him. Blade kept running straight.

About 20 minutes later they were still at it. The man was starting to fade out and Blade was about to collapse when suddenly he did.

SMACK!

Blade was hit right in the face by a branch. Blade slipped onto his back and fell into a ditch. Intead of getting back up and chasing the man, Blade layed there. He was breathing too hard. He was tired.

Finally Blade got up and walked in the direction where the man ran. "Why would someone burn my house down?" he thought. He had never done anything to anyone beside defend himself that one time.

Shortly after walking he tripped over a root and fell on his face. In the leafs he could see his blood. He haddent noteced it before. The branch must have hit harder than he thought. Then there next to his blood was a photograph of himself.

Blade: " What the..."

He flipped it over and written on it was a symbol of the hat the man in the trench coat had on. Below the hat was the name 'Veto'. He got up and put the photo in his pocket. He walked a couple steps and stopped winsing in pain. He over did it running for too long. He back off and laned up against the tree next to him.

Blade pulled out the only pokemon he had with him.

Blade: " Come on out!" He through the pokeball up and a pokemon appeared.

Pokemon: "Luxray!"

Luxray looked at his trainer in fear when he saw the blood on his face.

Blade: " Is it really that notecable?" He said smiling.

Luxray: "Lux Luxray? (Ummmm... No not at all. Uhh... how... well how?)"

Blade: " Long story. Anyway, I think theres a town just up ahead and I kinda fucked up my legs. Do you think you can carry me there?"

Luxray: "Lux...ray... (I guess... I could...)"

Blade: " Fantastic."

Blade stopped leaning on the tree and leaned on Luxray. It hurt so intensly. "I might have sprained or broken it when i fell." Blade thought.

Blade got his leg around Luxray and sat on his lower back.

Luxray: "Lux? (Ready?)"

Blade: "Yeah. Lets go."

Luxray started walking torwards the town.

Soon Blade and Luxray walked into Violet City Pokemon Center. Everyone in the center gasped. Blade looked up at Nurse Joy. She had her hand over her mouth.

Blade: "Can I use your bathroom and wash up please?"

(Blade's POV)

She nodded her head and quickly walked over to the bathroom door and opened it. Mouth still open. Luxray carried me over into the bathroom. Nurse Joy closed the door behind us and I locked it. I stood.

My right leg still hurt but my left one was all better. I put Luxray in his pokeball and turned the shower on. Luckaly i was carring a bag with extra cloths and supplies. I set my bag down and limped over to the mirror.

No wonder everyone gasped. The was blood all down my face, neck, and chest. It was also all over my hoody and shirt. The horazontal gash across my face stopped bleeding.

I got into the shower and washed everything. I got dryed off and slipped into new clothes. A blue T-shirt, Black and gray sripped hoody, Black jeans, and my red shoes.

I picked up my stuff and walked back out to Nurse Joy.

Me: " Can I get a room please?"

Nurse Joy: "Ummm... yeah sure."

She handed a key to me.

Nurse Joy: " First door on your left."

Me: "Ok thanks."

I walked up the stairs to my room. Man I havent stayed in a pokemon center sence I was a kid out on my journey. The room consisted of a bed, a dresser, a window, and a small bathroom.

I closed the door behind me and took out Luxray. I laid down on th bed and Luxray curled up next to me. Soon I passed out. I was cold that night so it was good that Luxray was next to me to keep me warm. (sigh) Not enough room though...
