So…first chapter in a new series inspired by Lord of the Flies, and 2 of my other fics Light at the End of the Tunnel, and Pokespeical Survivor. Anyways…hope you guys enjoy!
A faraway island…baked in the warmth of a benevolent sun, with a plentiful bounty of wildlife, pure paradise. Never touched by the marring hands of civilization, it lay out on the ocean blue, unspoiled and free from the constraints of time and industry. It was a magical place, where all life could live in perfect harmony…no tears…no strife…no pain.
But now, the ship had come. The wrecked ship that would soon bring a new life force to the island…good or bad, no one knew yet…but it would be interesting.
On a washed out beach near the northern shores of the island, a group of kids were now coming to. The first to wake was a boy…no…a young man…with hair the color of night, and eyes that shone crimson like cherries.
He looked around and did a quick head count. There were 10 people, including him. He stood for a while alone, letting the others rest peacefully, as he stared out to the endless white-topped waves, enjoying his time free from the others, but eventually, he chose to stir his fellow castaways.
"Hey…guys!" he whispered, nudging the cute blonde first. Slowly, the others woke up one by one…except for the other black-haired boy, who the pigtailed bluenette had to kick first to get a reaction.
"Wha-" the golden-eyed boy started, then panic dawned upon him as he realized he was in an unfamiliar location. "Where are we!? What is this place!? Who are you people!?"
"Whoa…" the blunette girl was the first to regain her senses after the boy's outburst. "Calm yourself…we're not going to hurt you…none of us know what's going on, so it looks like we're all going to have to become friends."
The others cringed, realizing this girl had just spoken the truth all of them were coming to realize…they were alone…not knowing what had happened…and they would have to learn to work with and trust one another.
But of course…everyone in the world…has just a few secrets they'd prefer to keep to themselves.
"Okay…" the bluenette continued, "does anyone know where we are?"
"An island!" the golden-eyed boy piped up, getting sighs and exasperated looks from the others.
The brunette boy with the green eyes decided to speak up.
"This place, judging from the course of our voyage before crashing, is most likely…the lost island we hear about in those old fairytales and such.
The others looked on in shock, all of them had heard of the island before…all by different names…except of course Gold, who rolled his eyes and remarked, "How corny."
The redheaded boy decided to speak up…he generally didn't like speaking in front of crowds, but he felt compelled to say something. "Please…take this seriously, Gold-boy. Fate Island, as those of us from Johto call it, is a legendary land…only existent in theory. It's said that the island itself has magical powers…but hardly anyone believes in the rumors."
Green nodded, "and one of these powers…is the ability for those pure in mind and heart…to transform into the Pokemon that they are the most connected to spiritually."
Everyone else nodded, Gold finally appeared speechless. The ten sat in awkward silence for a while until Red chose to speak again.
"Well…we might be here for a while…so it looks like we're going to have to figure out a few basic rules first…" The others nodded assent, and since the sky foreshadowed a storm…they all turned to walk into the heart of the island…into the land that would become their new home.
So…the first chapter wasn't too great, but it's just for introduction purposes. Please let me know what I can do in the reviews!
