You know that feeling you get when you're almost asleep, and you feel like you're about to fall? Sometimes you see a cliff or the edge of the skyscraper, or sometimes you just know you're about to fall. Try amplifying that times 100.
I felt myself wake up with a violent jerk. I found myself setting up in the middle of a dirt path, tall grass all around me. I was panting hard, like I'd just woken from a terrible nightmare. I could feel my heart trying to beat out of my chest, even as I managed to calm my breathing.
I looked at my hands, they looked smaller.
Shakily, I stood up and tried to figure out where I was. I was fairly familiar with the surrounding area around my home, dirt paths like this with tall grass around them didn't exist.
I heard a screech from behind me. I turned to look and saw a group of birds that looked oddly familiar swooping down in attacking a purple… Thing.
I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my left wrist, and my arm jerked up. There on my wrist, was a chain mail bracelet. An intricate weave of rings made of some black metal was wrapped around my wrist. The rings seem to be seamless, and all had the texture of cold steel. All but one. One ring was white, and it felt warm.
It was in that moment that I remembered what had happened. This was my first jump, my first adventure. I remember the rules, and everything that had been explained to me. I also remembered I was supposed to be helping that purple thing.
I ran forwards, waving my arms and shouting at the group of Spearows. The small birds quickly fled, leaving what they were attacking alone. I knelt down, smiling at my first Pokémon.
"Hello, Mimic."
"Ditto." He squeaked back.
