Prologue:
As the malicious shadows flew through the City, most people were left unaware of what to do. No-one whispered a word.
It was 2.55 AM. The morning was really the only time of day where it was safe. Pokemon had always been such nice creatures... Great for pets, while others liked to use them for fights.
Roughly almost 500 species exist to this day.
Various researchers like Proffessors dedicate their lives to the studies of these wonderful beings.
However.
These days were over.
December 25th, that was all about to change...
Chapter 1. Reunions
' Hey Pikachu! '
' Pika?? '
A teenager was walking through the snow.
17 years old, he was an experienced Pokemon Trainer.
Wearing his traditional red cap, blue coat, black top, jeans, and...uh...
Is that a Yellow Mouse on his shoulder ???
Ash Ketchum was on his way home.
After winning the National Championships in the Sinnoh Region, he had returned to Pallet Town. His companion, Pikachu was his first ever pokemon. Furry, yellow colour, cute black eyes, brown stripes and a tail shaped like a Thunderbolt pretty much describes the little fella.
Oh, and red cheeks.
As many people know, various Pokemon cannot speak.
Pikachu is one of them, so he makes noises to communicate with Ash.
They understand each other 100 percent though. Well, what would you expect, they've known each other for seven years now.
' Pikachu... Don't run off again. You stay here ok ? '
The mouse nodded.
' Thats odd... Its never really that quiet around here.. even at 3.00 AM.'
As they walked through the snow, Pikachu stuck to ashes shoulder like glue.
' Where on earth is everyone... I have no idea... '
He sipped his cola through his straw.
' Hmm... This was supposed to be a party, right ?'
All the lights in the streets were off.
It did seem a bit different to Ash. He hadn't been to his hometown in ages.
' Oh!!! '
There it was. The Laboratory.
It was a very Musty, Dusty, and Rusty shack...
It was weird, cause It was only built 10 years ago.
Ash entered the buiding. It was dark in there, and cold.
' Proffessor Oak ?? '
He called for his mentor, the man he had knew since he started his journey all those years ago...
They looked around. Nothing.
The Lab seemed to be closed down, and no signs of life, people, or Pokemon.
' This is so weird Pikachu. what do you think ? '
' Pikapika...'
Pikachu shrugged, then rumaged through his masters bag to find a Berry.
He sure was hungry. Oran Berries were his favourite.
Suddenly...
A Giant Shadow Rushed across the grey walls...
It landed on the floor with a Thud.
Ash gasped... was it a Pokemon?
No.. it couldnt be. He opened his Pokedex.
' Dexter??? What is it ?'
The machine bleeped. It was having trouble reading.
' System Error.' ' Pokemon Unidentified '
Whoah, if the pokedex cant read it, it must be pretty rare ^^
Ash Smiled.
Pikachu, lets catch this thing!!
' Pika !! '
Pikachu, use Volt Tackle!!
' PikapikapikapikapikapikapikapikapikapikaaaaaaaaAAAHHH!!!!!!!!
He charged at this shadow, with his best move.
The shadow did not move.
It stood there.
Menacingly. O.o
Pikachu rushed into it... And...
Crashed into the wall.
' Wha??? Where did it go ? '
Ash was very confused. It looked like his pokemon had hit it.
Obviously it must of missed somehow.
A chill raced through his spine.
He felt... fear... all of a sudden..
' Pikachu... I dont think this is a Pokemon...'
Pikachu felt dizzy, he bumped his head quite badly.
He snapped out of his confusion, then ran back to Ash.
' Ah forget it. Wheres Proffessor Oak? He'll be able to explain this.
To Be Continued......... Real Soon.........
