Prologue
He woke slowly, feeling strange. There seemed to be grass under him, but that was all he could tell. He blinked furiously, not able to see anything. He managed to sit up and ran a hand through his hair, finding it very long. What is this place?
Before he could think too much he heard a strange noise. Beep ... beep ... BEEP! It took him several seconds but he finally located the source of the noise. It appeared to be coming from ... it resembled a watch, at least that's what he thought anyway.
He pressed the first button he found, hoping it would make the noise go away.
"Hello ..." a male voice said.
"Who's this?" he asked, not recognizing the voice at all.
"Glad I caught you. Where the hell are you Jacen?"
He rubbed his eyes and felt something odd. His arm was warm and he could feel more warmth ...
"JACE?" He laughed nervously and shrugged. He would figure this out later.
"Yeah?"
"Do you even know who this is?" the person on the other end asked. He shook his head and then decided to answer verbally just in case.
"No, I have no idea who you are."
It was then that he noticed something else ... he felt a little faint ... and this was just getting weirder and weirder by the minute. He blinked again, still unable to see anything. Blind? I don't think I'm supposed to be blind ...
"Jacen!" The call (for that was the only thing it could be) was still active.
"Yeah? Who the fuck are you anyway?"
A snort and then a laugh "You're kidding me right?"
"No. I'm. not." he nearly growled, annoyed now.
"Ok ok. It's Kit. You really don't remember me?" Of course not! Would I have asked otherwise?
He groaned, running a hand through his hair again. Should probably tie this up or something ...
"Jacen?"
"What?!"
"Geez, ya don't havta bite my head off. There's something weird going on ..." Oh really? Did it take you this long to notice?!
"What's weird?" he made himself ask. Hopefully this guy would shut up soon ... he was really starting to get a headache.
There were some clicking sounds and then Kit spoke up. "Your phone number isn't showing up. I also have no idea where you are."
He snorted, reminding himself that he did have a name. I'm Jacen ...
"So what." he finally answered with.
"So what?! I don't know where you are!"
He moved his arm away from his face and winced.
"Why do you care? I don't even know you."
"Jace ... God you really don't remember me do you?"
He really did growl this time.
"That's what I've hen trying to tell you."
"But ... ok ... Kit Simons? That doesn't ring any bells?"
He shook his head and then sighed "No."
Some of the same question and answer game went on for a while and then Kit finally told him something useful.
"I don't think you're on Earth anymore Jace."
"Earth?"
"Yeah Earth. As in where you and I live. You and me and your mom that is ..."
Jace groaned loudly, he really did have a headache now.
"Nothing sounds familiar."
"Ok well I'll see if I can figure things out. I'll call you ... at around 10 a.m. tomorrow then?"
"Sure ... it was Kit right?" He'd honestly forgotten with how much the guy talked.
"Yeah. Be careful Jace." He grunted in acknowledgement and there was a click and everything was quiet again.
He felt along his arm, noticing what looked like a leather strap and something that he thought was a watch. Not a watch is it? Watches aren't supposed to make phone calls. Then he took it off and felt the 'face' and found several buttons. He pressed one and a voice rang out.
"I am Kimii your poke-etch. What would you like to do?"
He almost dropped the thing in surprise, but managed to hold onto it. He strapped it back onto his wrist and asked for a manual. Surprisingly there was one, and the voice read out the features and functions to him. He found out he was in somewhere called the Kalos region, near a place called Vaniville.
—- —- —-
A few hours later found him scanning the area for what the poke-etch called pokemon. He had started to think of the machine as 'Kimii' a while ago. Apparently there were several pokemon nearby, but he still had no idea what they were.
"Kimii what is a pokemon?" Instead of telling him what they were she (for it did sound more female than male) told him something else.
"Poochyena the canine pokemon. Type: dark."
He sighed and then winced as something bit him.
"Poochyena's attacks: bite, howl, sand attack ..." As the machine kept rambling on Jace just wanted it to shut up. The pain was intense though and he felt something furry under his finger tips when he tried to find out what was biting him. Gathering his concentration he pressed the button to make the device stop talking and then pulled gently on the furry thing, trying to make it let go.
He heard growling and the pain increased. Then there was some yipping and more growling. Great. What did I get myself into? Before he could even think of defending himself he felt something burn his arm. He hissed through his teeth and wished he could see whatever was attacking him. They sounded like some sort of dog or wolf, so maybe he'd intruded on their territory.
Growling again "Hound houndour?" What the hell?
"Pooch poo poochyena!" Uhm should I be worried now?
"Houndour!"
He grimaced again as there was another sharp pain as teeth clamped down on his arm. This is just wonderful. Now I'll have bites on both arms ...
"Pooch poochyena? Poo po poochyena!" What the fuck are they saying?
"Houndour!"
"Poochyena!" Make up your fuckin' minds already.
Something splashed across his arm and he grit his teeth to keep from crying out as the spot burned fiercely. Whatever these things were they weren't going to stop anytime soon ... They kept at it, more creatures biting him and he got a few more burns. As things progressed it became harder and harder to concentrate, the pain getting to be too much.
Just when he thought he'd pass out footsteps could be heard. Huh?
"Sylv? Syl veon syl. Sylveon!" (What are you doing? He's human!) What the?
"Sylveon! Syl syl sylv veon!" (Get away from him. Move now!) Uhh? And then things started fading, his hearing went all splotchy - sounds coming from farther and farther away ... there was a ringing in his ears and then nothing ...'
—- —- —-
This is fun. What are they doing here? This isn't their territory.
"What are you doing? He's human!" They're attacking him. Why are they attacking him?!
"Get away from him. Move now!"
"Why should we listen to you? You're just a puny little Sylveon."
"You look like a girl anyway." Like this will actually insult me. You guys need some better lines.
"I live here. He's on my turf. Back. off."
Right. They're just a bunch of idiots. The fairy pokemon looked at 'them.' They were a group of Houndour and Poochyena. I still don't know why they're here.
"Why are you here anyway?"
"We found this place. This forest is ours." In your dreams buddy.
"First of all ... This. is. grass. You hear me, grass! You can't claim all this space. Didn't anyone ever tell you that?" It's too big for one pokemon to handle alone.
"This place belongs to us." the other pokemon said in unison. Oh boy this is gonna get ugly ...
The Sylveon slapped himself on the side of the head with one of his tendrils.
"If you don't leave I'll havta make you." he said, getting into a protective stance in front of the human. Thankfully their attention was on him now and not the boy. He looks really bad. Why did they attack a human anyway?
"You're not a threat." one of the Houndour said. It was the largest one. This must be their leader.
"You think you can take me? I bet you guys aren't even level 10 yet." He himself was level eight. He watched the reactions of the other pokemon closely after delivering what could easily be taken as a challenge. There were several of them, maybe even seven or eight, but they didn't look like much. To a human they were a serious threat if you couldn't get away, but for him they wouldn't be much trouble. If they all attacked him at once things might get a little sticky though.
Come on, take the bait. I don't like the looks of you.
"You think you can take on all of us?" the leader asked. He's an ugly son of a bitch isn't he?
"I know I can. Let's cut the chit-chat and battle." He glared the leader down, his dark purple eyes boring into him without mercy.
He watched the leader come at him and side stepped at the last possible second. That was stupid. Did you even watch where you were going? Sylveon rushed the Houndour, slamming into the fire type and knocking him over. He got a fire ball in the face for his efforts, but it was worth it to see the angry expression on the dog's face.
"You're not invincible after all." he taunted, throwing sand in the dog's face. Let's see how you like my Sand Attack. The rest of the pokemon rushed him then and he really wished he'd trained some more that morning ... He didn't know any attack that could help against this many enemies.
He did his best, making sure to keep the human behind him and out of the way as often as possible. He kicked up dust and hurled it into their faces, but there were just too many. He didn't have enough room to Tackle them again. The only other attack he knew was-
"Take this!" he cried as he wagged his tail in their direction. They all laughed, but if this worked they would be on the ground soon. Tail Whip did lower the olponent's defense stat after all.
Teeth sunk into his tail and he yelled in pain. He groaned as one of the Houndour hit him in the side with an Ember. I hate fire ...
"What's the matter? Can't handle us?" the only girl of the group asked in a sickly sweet voice. She was a rather small Poochyena, but proved she wasn't useless by biting him hard in the neck. Ow ow ow!
He closed his eyes, certain he would pass out from exhaustion. Then he felt like his body was being filled with energy. One of his tendrils was actually glowing too. Uh I hope this is useful. Here goes ...'
"Get off me." He saw what happened, but could hardly believe it. Pink dust was coming from his body and somehow it hurt all of them.
He would have burst out laughing if he wasn't so shocked. The dogs tried to run, but the dust hit them all. I think that was Fairy Wind ... When they were finally all down he went to the human and gently nudged him with a tendril. I don't think he's dead, just out cold.
