Tamer of Darkness: A Pokémon Saga!
Prologue – No Turning Back
By Kitty
The Tamer's Ballad
The unruly Shadow Creature,
Echo's the call of awakening,
For the gifted one.
She is the Tamer of Darkness,
The one who will master them,
And be their mortal vessel.
Voice of the Night Children,
Rise and fulfill thy Destiny,
At the Shadow Creature's call...
------------------------------
A Pokémon Trainer looked over the golden horizon,
'Noon.' She thought glancing over her shoulder at the small town she was about to leave as she told the monster at her feet, "Well, this is it Vela… We're finally gonna leave. This time no teachers or parents either… Are you ready?"
"Vee ee! Eevee vee?" Vela the Eevee replied and looked up at her trainer as the charm on her collar glinted in the sun that filtered through the treetops. It was a golden token with a 'V' engraved in it as it hung from a black strap around the Eevee's neck.
"Am I ready? I don't know…" Turning back to the little town she sighed. It seemed so long ago that she had finally gotten her PokéGear but in reality only a few minutes had passed.
~*FLASHBACK*~
As Professor Elm handed her the PokéGear he asked, "Rena, will you call me when you get to Cherrygrove City?"
"Yeah, whatever…" Rena yawned and agreed, it was still really early. She wanted to be the first one to leave to avoid any conflicts with the other 3 trainers.
"I really would feel better if you took one of the standard New Bark Town starting Pokémon-" Elm started to say but was cut off.
"Uncle Elm! C'mon! Vela's a great Pokémon! She'll do fine!" Rena argued.
Sighing he rubbed his head, "I don't doubt that she isn't, it's just that Totodile, Cyndaquil and Chikorita were bred to be good beginning Pokémon."
"You're not listening to me! I've never done a thing on my own; can you PLEASE stop worrying for one second? Ya know there's a reason I took all those courses at Pokémon Tech!"
"I'm sorry Rena, I just want you to be safe." Smiling Prof. Elm handed his niece her backpack, "Go on now, make me proud!"
~*END FLASHBACK*~
The sun flashed on the pair, revealing all their features. Rena wore black flares and a white zip-up top with the collar around her neck slightly unzipped. A brown belt with six Pokéballs adorned her waist as a necklace gleamed in the sun. It too was a Pokéball, but a different one. The red part was blue and red locks clamped the two sides on the ball together, almost as if it were a high security prison. Her hair was hazel brown and fell just past her shoulder blades as her eyes flashed a clear ocean blue.
Bringing herself away from her home Rena Elm looked at her Pokémon again, "Well even if I'm not ready we'll find out soon enough won't we?" The Eevee nodded as her trainer ran down the path and shouted, "C'mon Vela!"
To Be Continued in Chapter 1 of 'Tamer of Darkness'!
Will Rena and Vela make it to Cherrygrove City before Dark? What lurks in the shadows of Route 29? Will our heroines catch ANY Pokémon?
