Hello, everybody...This is my first fanfiction, but don't hold your critsism back! This is a journey Fic, but it's a little different from the others...
ANYWAY, this is the first Chapter:

NOTE: Due to my intense Laziness, many of the characters in this story look exactly like the main characters from the Pokémon series: Nathan looks EXACTLY like Lucas, the male character you can play as in D/P/P, while Aeon looks EXACTLY like the male character you can play as in R/S/E. Doesn't justify the sh**ty explanations, I know... but oh well...

Rating: Pg-13/R, for scenes of intense violence, and swearing, though that doesn't happen very often, and hasn't happened yet.

Chap.1: Getting to Professor Rowan's Lab/Telling the cold hard truth:

Nathan looked like your 13-year-old. He wore a black T-shirt (with a red stripe down the middle), completely red jeans, and red hat that looked oddly like a Beret. Unlike most people his age, he was calm and collected, and didn't "explode" often. He lived in Twinleaf, and was about to get his first Pokémon from Professor Rowan's Lab.

"BYE, MOM!!"
"Bye...are you going down to professor Rowan's lab, Nathan?"
"Yeah...this will probably be the last time you see me in a [I]long [/I] time..."

Within Minutes of leaving his house, he bumped into his friend, Aeon. Aeon had a more "dramatic" look than Nathan; He wore a black shirt with a two red stripes going down the left/ and right sides, with a green stripe going down the middle. His jeans were black, and his hair was pure white, with the back tied up into what looked like a 3-pointed leaf.

Aeon's personality was calm and collected; he was always breaking up fights, but he teased people allot and sometimes spoke on impulse. He normally acted calm no matter what the situation, but when he broke down, he BROKE DOWN.

"Hey, Nathan!'
"Hey, Aeon!"
"I was just about to go to professor Rowan's Lab! Wanna ride our bikes there?"
"You know I don't need a bike!"
"Oh...yeah..."

Nathan was right, he didn't need a bike; he for some reason, had the uncanny ability to run for miles and not get tired, and had no problem keeping up with Aeon, even passing him most of the way. When the two finally got to Professor Rowan's Lab, Nathan slowly creaked the door open. Oddly enough, the lights were all off

"Um....Hello? Is anybody there?"
"Yeah, I am!" A 13-year-old girl's voice responded.
"Uh...Hi?"
"...maybe I should turn the lights on..."

With that, the lights immediately were switched on; the resulting brilliance was enough to make Nathan and Aeon stagger. When Nathan could open his eyes enough to see, he saw the girl.

She looked like your average girl; she had a ridiculously short sleeveless skirt that was black with the very edges pink, and a Pink hat that looked unusually like a pillowcase.

"Hi, my name's Dawn!"
"Hi...I'm Nathan...Are you wearing a pillowcase on your head?"
"NO!!!!" That statement seemed to have offended dawn.
"Well, sorry..." Nathan muttered; he didn't need to get in a fight with her; he'd kill her super quickly. However, he DID need answers; a thirteen year-old girl in the middle of a laboratory was....odd to say the least. With that, his expression changed from being frightened to demanding.

"Okay...how did you get here in the first place?"

Dawn seemed to have calmed down, and was surprised, actually, to hear that question.

"I....came here, but there was no one there...so I stayed inside..."

"That's idiotic; lord knows what could happen to someone like you?"

Dawn put up her fists-uh-oh; Nathan didn't want a fight- and looked at him with a smirk.

"What, you think some hobo's going to take advantage of me? Well, they're going to have to get through these babies first."

As if to demonstrate her fighting skills, Dawn thrusted her left hand forward at Nathan. She had hoped to catch him off-guard, but Nathan put his right hand up and stopped Dawn's hand cold.

Dawn was shocked; she was less than a foot from him, but he blocked her blow perfectly! She put all her power into her hand to try to overcome Nathan's block, but no matter how much force she put behind it, she couldn't do it. Even more, Nathan wasn't breaking a sweat!

When she realized she could put no more power behind her hand, Dawn collapsed on the floor. Nathan grabbed her, and lifted her up on the floor; this shocked dawn even more; Nathan was picking her up with no trouble at all!

[I]"What is this guy? He's super powerful!"[/I] Dawn pondered once she was up from the floor. She looked around for Aeon, but he was nowhere. She quickly gazed at Nathan.

"That...was impressive." Dawn clearly was amazed at his strength.

"heh heh, you were more powerful than I thought; I had to actually put strength into that block." Nathan was just as surprised. With that, Dawn walked over to the other side of the lab.

"Sorry to break up your little chit-chat, but come up here, please."

Dawn and Nathan were both startled by the voice of a guy in his thirties. When they looked up, they saw Professor Rowan and Aeon on a metal staircase. Aeon jumped down and landed in front of Nathan.

"Hey, you had me worried there!" Aeon clearly thought that things could have gotten dangerous-or worse.

"Sorry to interrupt, but who are you?" Dawn interrupted the conversation; she didn't want to butt in, but she needed to know who Aeon was.

Aeon blushed for a slight second and placed hid hand behind his head."Whoa, sorry for not introducing myself earlier; I'm Aeon."

Dawn seemed impressed by the name."Wow, Aeon? That's such a cool name, it sounds Greek!"

"Yeah... well.... I'm Greek, so..."

"Hey, I never knew about that!" Nathan seemed surprised to hear this.

Aeon chuckled for a slight second, "Well, I guess you [I]do [/I] learn something new every day!"

"Hmm......."

"All 3 teens had completely forgotten about Professor Rowan, and jumped at his voice. Dawn staggered back a little with a look of fear on her face.

"Well, we seem to have forgotten about you, Professor..."

"Yes, yes you have....come up here please."

With that, all 3 of them went up the stairs. Nathan was thinking all that happened today; in the course of half an hour, he met a new person (and nearly killed her), learned something new about his friend, and got to meet one of the world's most respected Pokémon Professor's; Being a Pokémon trainer might not be a course in hell. With that out of his head, Nathan walked into the door and shut it.

"Well, things aren't going smoothly, I see?" Professor Rowan seemed to have overheard the conversation and saw the fight.
"Well, he said my hat looked like a pillowcase..."

Nathan ignored her; arguing could wait. Anyway, he surveyed his surroundings; they seemed to be in a living room of sorts.

After everyone sat down, Rowan explained everything about being a Pokémon trainer. During this, he noticed Nathan had a look of worry on his face.

"What's wrong, Nathan?"
"What.....oh, nothing"
"Come on, spit it out!" Aeon teased.

After giving the matter some thought, Nathan decided.

"Okay, but do not tell anyone you know about this, okay?"
"Okay"

Nathan sighed and walked into the middle of the room. He looked around for a minute and finally said it.

"I'm a vampire."

The resulting made the whole room go completely silent. Dawn, Aeon, and Rowan just stared at Nathan, too shocked to say anything. Finally, Aeon got up and staggered backwards with a look of complete and fright on his face.

"...No way...no fucking way....my best...friend ...could not...be...a fucking.....bloodsucker..."

Aeon was so confused he put himself in a state of denial. But...Nathan was different...he acted benevolent; he couldn't a blood-thirsty freak, could he?

"You are different from normal vampires..."

"What makes you say that?"
"...ummm....You can go out in broad daylight...without getting hurt...."

Nathan sighed, and stood like he was about to tell a story to a group of people.

"I am a 'half-vampire'; my Father is a full blown Vampire, while my mother is a 'Midian', or one of you normal humans. My dad is a also a 'daywalker'; a rare breed of vampires capable of going out into daylight. This, combined with my Midian genes, makes daylight harmless to me."

Aeon seemed eager to ask more questions.

"Okay, who does your dad work for; I know there something suspicious going on..."

"My dad works for a secret government orginization dedicated to hunting down Vampires and exterminating them. The reason they don't kill my dad is because of this: My dad is a full-blown Vampire, but he was separated from his parents when he was still a baby he was later adopted by a Midian couple. This made him grow more merciful, like a Midian, instead of violent and evil like a normal Vampire. When he learned of his Vampire heritage, he left his home at 17, and joined a group of rag-tag teen Vampires to be around his own people,

However, he couldn't be like them; they were merciless killers, and he was disgusted by how they took enjoyment from killing innocent people, so he left. On the day he left, however, he heard gunfire were their base was. When he returned, he saw the organization killing his 'friends'. When one of the soldiers saw him, they nearly killed him, but their leader went to him and saw that he was different from the others. When the captain learned about his nature, he asked my father to join them. At first, my dad was repulsed at the thought of killing his own kind, and but as he thought about it, he realized the increasing dangers of Vampires and decided to join; if he had kill his own kind to protect peace, so be it!

As for my mother, she worked as an intelligence gatherer for the organization. , My father saw her a lot in his day-to-day activities, and they gradually fell in love."

Everyone seemed impressed at the speech Nathan just gave.

"So that's why you ridiculously strong..."Dawn muttered under her breath.

Nathan looked up and sighed again.

"I'll be gone for a little while now...I'll come back to receive my starter Pokémon later... I highly doubt you would want to travel with, considering I'm so "different".
With that, Nathan left.

When he finally got home, Nathan was treated to a healthy dose of affection for his Parents.

"Did you pick out a starter Pokémon yet, Nathan?"

"....I... couldn't decide..."

"Oh...."

Nathan felt horrible, conjuring up a lie, but he had to do it.

"O and your father have a special gift, for you, Nathan." Nathan's mom pointed to his father, who was holding a lavishly decorated leather case. When Nathan went up to it and opened it, he saw the "gift": a Semi-automatic pistol.

"Here you go, Nathan: The .716 Magnum Jack 'Anti-Freak' combat pistol."

Nathan grasped the pistol on his hand and felt its smooth exterior; the whole was jet black, with graceful and curvy white lines decorating it. On the barrel, the words ".716 Jack Anti-Freak pistols" were inscribed. But that wasn't enough; Nathan needed to know more.

"What kind of cartridges?"

"Fully explosive tips, so those freaks die very easily."

"Bullets?"

"Completely silver-blessed by priests in advance, of course"

"How much will it hurt?"

"A hell of a lot- this thing probably hurts more than a shotgun or sniper rifle."

"...It's perfect, dad."

"I knew you'd love it. However, I have something else to show you..."

Nathan's dad went into the nearby closet and pulled out two more leather cases. When he opened them, there were exact copies of Nathan's pistol inside.

"...What are these for, dad?"

"Just in case any friends you're traveling with need some protection of their own."

Nathan thankfully accepted both Magnums and put all three neatly in his backpack. However he realized whether or not he needed them; he had shocked Aeon and dawn out of their lives an hour ago, and he wondered if they would travel with him or not; would they find him to be too "different" and not want to travel with him?

Nathan waited for his answer.
