A/N: Ooh, look, a new story! Since I've got huge Writer's Block on PokePowers, I decided I might as well type up a new one while waiting for inspiration to kick in.
I thought long and hard, and I decided this will be a SYOC fic. I've started becoming wary of SYOC's, 'cause of the diverse OC's you can get and all the stories you've got to weave into it. OC form and rules on my profile. Please, submit just through PM.
Also, this story takes place in the anime-verse, but I'll use characters from the manga and games (like Lack-Two and possibly Platinum or Silver).
Let us begin! *bangs on a gong*
Rain poured from the clouds, spreading a thick mist over the quiet Veilstone City, the drops making a soft pat-pat-pat against the pavement.
There was no one in sight; everyone was cuddled in their homes, waiting the storm out.
Except for one man.
He was tall, with long brown hair slicked with rain, and a salt-and-pepper beard. He walked briskly, with long strides, clutching a plastic envelope.
Soon, he arrived at his apartment. Wriggling the keys into the doorknob, he took a quick glance behind him, and entered.
Rushing into his office, he set to work. He tossed some papers into a scanner, plugged a USB into his old computer, and made himself a tuna sandwich.
Then he began typing up an email.
Nathaniel:
My friend, I'm terribly sorry to say that this will be the last you will hear from me. They've been watching me, I know it. And they will come for me soon. But do not worry; you will continue our mission. We will not let our School down.
I've gathered the information you needed, and will send it along with this message. Keep it safe.
None of the staff at the University seem to be with them, but we can never be too cautious. But enough information has been gathered, and we've discovered the mole. It is-
A loud THUD echoed down the hallway.
The man stopped typing.
Pulling out the USB, he dropped it on the floor and crushed it under his leather shoes. He crumpled all of his files, and set them on fire.
Footsteps. Nearing his door, second after second. There would be no time to finish his email. But there must be a way to get a message to Nathaniel. He will not fail this quest. Their mission must succeed.
The door to his room shuddered.
He ripped a paper out of a notebook and buried it inside his shoe. Then he tossed the notebook into the flaming pile of other documents.
He just had enough time to fling a mug at the computer screen before the door flew open and a bullet hit his chest.
He arced his arm toward his foot as his body thumped and his vision went black.
A/N: Mwahahaha.
So what do you guys think? I'm gonna need lots of different kinds of OC's, like students (from that secret school, duh), staff, and even a few villains, so hit me with everything you've got!
