"WAIT! JADE! SLOW DOWN!" Alexa, my best friend, yelled, running after me.
My name is Jade, I am a fifteen year old male, about 5'10", with short, cobalt blue hair, and dark green eyes. I am quite slim, not very muscular, and I have a light skin tone. I usually wear a black shirt under a white and blue hoodie, with jeans, and black running shoes. I've lived in Pallet Town, in the Kanto region, my whole life. I'm not anti-social but I've never been good at making friends or socializing. However that didn't stop Alexa from barging into my life. She is currently a 5'10" tall girl with tanned skin and medium-length black hair with light purple eyes. She usually wears loose purple shirts, jeans with tribal designs, and purple shoes. We didn't exactly meet in the best of circumstances but she is the best friend that I could ever ask for. Anyway getting back on track she made sure that I had a pretty good childhood living in Pallet, but right now not even she could comfort me.
Why? Because a few days ago I watched as my parents were murdered by a group of Team Rocket grunts, just because they saw the Rockets running from Oak's lab after a break in. Their funeral was held in Viridian City four days after they died. I kept my emotions in check for a while but after the funeral I broke. The friends and family members attending the funeral tried to comfort me by telling me how great my parents were, but that just made it worse. I couldn't take it anymore, so I ran. You may be calling me a coward for running away from my problems, and usually I don't, usually I stay strong and face my problems head-on, but after they died I just didn't know what else to do.
And that brings us to my current situation, I'm running away from my parents' funeral. Alexa, is chasing after me trying to calm me down, but I didn't want to listen. So I kept running. I eventually found my way to the edge of the Viridian Forest, there Alexa stopped, too tired to continue chasing me, but I just kept on running. Eventually my legs started burning and I noticed that it was getting dark. I finally slowed down and stopped in a clearing, taking in my surrounding and coming to the realization that I was lost.
Cursing myself for being so reckless, I looked around and all that I could see was the thick foliage, the trees and the tall grass swaying in the breeze, with the occasional Pokemon scurrying to get to their dens before night fell. Deciding it would be best to try and find my back to Pallet as soon as possible I turned around, and froze at what I saw. There, maybe twenty feet in away from me, was a swarm of Scyther, and they looked mad. Looking around again I noticed the hollowed out trees and the nests scattered around the edges of the clearing. "Arceus, I'm an idiot," I muttered under my breath.
Realizing that there wasn't much that I could do at the moment I took a slow step backwards, and bolted. I heard the sound of buzzing fill the air and I knew that they were giving chase. I also knew that they were gaining on me and I could feel my fatigue slowly start to overwhelm me. While I was running I didn't take notice of the tree roots that were littering the ground and I tripped. If you haven't noticed I can be very inattentive sometimes.
This is it. This is how it's going to end. 'Not a week after my parents are gone and I'm already about to die!'I thought, curling up into a ball and closing my eyes to extend what little time I had left. I could already feel the Scyther trying to cut up my jacket enough to get to me.
"Hello," I heard a soft feminine voice say in my head.
'WHAT THE HELL?! WHO SAID THAT?!' I thought, resisting the urge to raise my head and look for the source.
"Don't worry, I'm here to help you with your… Predicament."
'Who are you and what are you talking about?! And how are you talking to me?!'
"I am who they call Mew, and I am talking to you via telepathy. If you want to survive this then I suggest that you listen to me and do as I say."
I was shocked, there I was dying, and a voice in my head claiming to be the Legendary Pokemon, Mew, offers to help save my life. Well you know what? Screw it! I'm going to die anyways so I might as well listen to the voice in my head!
'You know what? Sure, what do you want me to do?'
"I want you to think of the most powerful Pokemon that you've ever met and I want you to concentrate on every little detail that you know about it," Mew explained, hoping that I would understand.
'I have absolutely no idea how that's going to help, but sure I'll give it a shot,' so without another thought I concentrated on the memory of one of the most powerful Pokemon I'd ever met, and let me tell you it's pretty hard when you're being attacked by a swarm of Scyther. I had seen it when I asked a traveling trainer, who had stopped in Pallet, on his way to Professor Oak's lab, if I could see one of his Pokemon. He agreed to it and took out his Tyranitar, at first I was terrified of it, but after the trainer calmed me down he showed me what it could do and I was amazed at how powerful it was.
Anyways, I concentrated on the memory of the Pokemon, it's greens limbs, the spikes on its back, its tail, every single detail that I could recall about the Tyranitar that I met. I felt a weird tingly feeling spread throughout my body, I felt like I was growing and through my eyelids I could see a glowing light. After a while it stopped and I felt… Different I guess, I didn't know how to describe it but I felt bigger and I could feel the power running through my veins. It was then that I noticed I couldn't hear the Scyther anymore, so I unfurled myself and opened my eyes confused.
What greeted me was a swarm of Scyther staring at me in shock. Wondering what was going on. I glanced down at my body and I realized what exactly happened when I concentrated on the memory. When I looked down I saw a body that was not my own, but that of a Tyranitar. When I realized what'd happened I disregarded any fear or confusion I felt when I spawned an idea. I drew in a deep breath and roared as loud as I could. That seemed to snap the Scyther out of their daze, their shocked looks replaced with those of fear. They looked around at each other wondering whether or not they should still attack. Finally one of the larger ones spoke up.
"ATTACK!" It yelled, I didn't realize at the time that I could now understand it, upon hearing the command the swarm gained determined expressions and flew back at me.
"Now, I want you to take a deep breath and focus the energy in you into a sphere in front of you," Mew, who I had honestly forgotten about in the heat of the moment, said.
Realizing that she was the reason that I was still alive I obeyed and took a deep breathe while concentrating on the power that I felt. In moments a yellow-orange sphere formed in front of my mouth, and after a few seconds of charging it Mew told me to release while exhaling and I complied. When I released it a beam shot out and hit any of the Scyther that had been in the direction of my gaze. After getting over my shock I aimed the attack at the remaining Scyther. After I finally needed to breathe again the energy dissipated and I was left to look at the damage that I had caused while regaining my breath. I looked around and saw that in placed of the thick foliage that had once covered the area, a trench was formed within it large pieces of what were once trees, littered the area alongside the limp bodies of the Scyther swarm. At first I feared that I had killed them, but I eventually saw the very slight rise and fall of their abdomens and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Good, now rest, Child, for you are safe," Mew said to me.
"Wha-" I started before my exhaustion hit me like a brick-wall and I collapsed, my body slowly changing back to its original form. Little did I know that a certain someone at the edge of the forest heard my roar and decided to investigate.
