Hello everyone! Here is the next story! Before we start, however, I shall put a warning!
WARNING: This story has cursing, violence, blood, dark themes, and maybe gore. If you cannot handle such things, please leave now. (Though I'm sure you all can, seeing as most voted for this xD)
I don't think any of this would be rated M though... *Evil grin*
Without further ado, enjoy!~
Disclaimer: If I owned Pokémon, Serena would not exist, the shippings I ship would be canon, and it would have more dark themes. So I don't own it.
On that day, I would have never thought I'd lose everything I held close to me. My friends, my family. I didn't think I'd lose the person I held close, who I fell for. One moment, they were there. The next moment, they were gone. Everything I held close and dear to me disappeared. All gone, in the blink of an eye. I lost everything.
All because of them..
Dawn's Pov (Twinleaf Town, Sinnoh)
Sinnoh is nothing like it used to be..
I bit my lip as the harsh wind cried, smacking me in the face. I walked along the dirt path, making my way towards me house. The skies were dark, though it was roughly twelve in the afternoon. My eyes roamed the town as I neared my house, a sigh escaping my lips.
I wasn't alive when it happened, but years ago, organizations attacked and took over every region. Many people died, and Kanto and Johto were severely damaged. I heard those regions aren't safe anymore. Hoenn is slowly falling apart, though it isn't like Kanto or Johto yet.
I jumped out of my skin as something touched me, a smile of relief forming when I noticed it was Piplup, my Pokémon. I always had to be on guard these days, no matter what. I opened the door to my house, closing it behind me with a sigh. "Welcome home Dawn!" My mother called from the kitchen. I smiled lightly, making my way to the kitchen.
"The weather is getting worser," I commented as I sat down at the table. My mother nodded, a soft smile on her face. "It'll get better Dawn, have faith." She walked around me with a brush, taking off my beanie. I relaxed as she ran the brush through my dark blue hair, humming softly. I grabbed the remote laying on the table, turning on the TV.
"In other news, Giovanni of Kanto and Johto, Archie and Maxie of Hoenn and Cyrus of Sinnoh had yet again changed the rules of what is and isn't allowed. All people without the symbol of Team Galactic, Rocket, Aqua or Magma on their shirts will be killed immediately on sight." I stared in shock.
That is a little too much, isn't it?
My mother sighed, rolling her eyes in annoyance. "No freedom at all. I do not want to wear a symbol from Galactic." She spat. I nodded in agreement. Wearing their symbol would be horrible, it'd make me feel like I was worshipping them, which I'd never do.
I shot up as the door slammed against the wall. People in white outfits stood there, their neon blue hair shining in the light. Cruel smirks were on their face as they looked us over, boxes in their hands. "Here," The male leading them sneered, "Put these symbols on, now." Mom glared, snatching the box out of their hand.
She threw the box into the trash can next to us.
Galactic's eyes widened, before they glared darkly at us. Sometimes, I wish my mother wasn't so rebellious, if that is a good word for what she just did, "Disrespecting Team Galactic like that is a crime!" I rolled my eyes, which unfortunately, the one member noticed.
"Trying to be different, how funny. You belong to Team Galactic now, so you might as well wear our proud symbol!" I looked at mom, who was glaring angrily at the idiots. "I won't wear anything that symbolizes Team Galactic!" Mother sneered. I stared in surprise, looking between them.
"Grab them." A dark voice sneered. The teal haired grunt grabbed my arm, dragging me along as mother fought back. I kicked and punched, but he didn't even flinch. He laughed as we neared a black vehicle, being thrown into the back. My head hit the wall, my vision going blurry from the hit.
I could never take hits good..
I could hear mom worriedly asking me if I was alright as I closed my eyes..
Time Skip
The smell of rust hit my nose, making me gag in disgust. I opened my eyes with a groan, looking around to see where I was. The smell of smoke made me alarmed, my eyes widening as I looked around. My skin felt as if it was on fire, the way it was burning and turning red. I shakily stood up, steadying myself before I finally got a good look at my surroundings. When I did, it shocked me greatly.
A ship. On fire..
I immediately started to panic as I realized I was alone. My eyes darted around, trying to find at least one person near me..
I forced myself to move forward, my legs feeling numb. How long was I out? What had happened while I was out? Those questions ran through my head as I searched for someone. My heart was frantically beating against my chest as I came upon a familiar sweater drenched in blood.
Mom's sweater.
Where was she? Why is her sweater here, and not with her? I frantically looked around for any signs of her, my heart becoming heavy. I sighed quietly, slowly standing up. The blood dripped as I picked up her jacket, covering my nose in disgust. I heard the sound of crashing water, realizing that the boat must have crashed onto the beach.
Wait.. Where exactly am I?
This didn't look like Sinnoh at all. It looked different, with certain trees I didn't even know existed surrounding us and different sand, a lighter color then Sinnoh's. The smell was different too, and as I looked up into the sky I noticed that there was a volcano instead of the usual mountain of Sinnoh.
I tightened my hands around Piplu-
Wait, where is Piplup?!
I frantically looked around, my heart racing once more as my starter was nowhere to be seen. "Piplup!" I called. No answer. I headed back towards the ship, the fire having spread to the bottom now. I bit my lip in worry. What if he got hurt, or worse..
Died?
I crawled into the small opening on the side of the destroyed ship, covering my nose as smoke surrounded me. I could hear a whimper that oddly sounded like Piplup, worrying me more.
"Piplup?!" I heard a chirp in response, followed by the sound of something falling. I quickly made my way along the floors, which were covered in grime. The dark walls of the ship made it impossible to see, and the smoke added to it. I bit my lip, feeling my way around the ship as Piplup's crying became louder.
"Piplup.." He cried, sounding extremely close now. I sighed in relief when I found him hiding underneath a bed inside a room. I reached for him, the shaken Pokémon hugging me tightly as I brought him close. "I'm sorry. I don't know what happened, but I would never leave you alone to die." I mumbled, stroking his head.
He nodded, shakily pointing at the bloodied sweater I was holding. I smiled sadly, "This is mom's sweater. I don't know where she is, though I hope she isn't dead." I muttered the last part. Piplup looked horrified at what I said, and I smiled forcefully. The thought of my mother being dead scared me greatly.
I slowly made my way back out of the ship, sighing in relief when I finally found my way out. The fire burned brightly, and it surprised me that nobody was coming to check on us. Maybe no one noticed, or something like that. I fixed my bag, straightening my skirt with a sigh, "Piplup, we'll have to find help. I just wish I knew where we were." The volcano seemed oddly familiar though..
"Piplup pip!" Hmm? He pointed towards a city in the distance, smiling excitedly. I opened my mouth to say something when our stomachs growled, making me blush in embarrassment. "Fine, we'll go there to see if we can get something to eat. I don't have much money though so please don't go overboard." Piplup nodded with a roll of his eyes.
As I made my way towards the city, I noticed a few things. Things that both shocked me, and horrified me. One, the only region with a volcano was Hoenn. Two, mom could be anywhere, she could even be on the ship still. Three, how many people died in the shipwreck? I trudged through the never ending sand, sighing as a sign came into view.
"Welcome to Slateport City, the port where people and Pokémon cross paths!"
I'm in Slateport City, Hoenn, with little to no money and no idea where my mom is.
How wonderful.
There is the start to our new story everyone :D I hope you enjoyed this.. introductory? Anyways, all chapters will not be short like this. I'm hoping to make 8,000-10,000 word chapters for you all, and I'm also hoping that this will be updated at a reasonable time. Of course, I'll update once a day like usual, but I hope I can publish new chaps around six or seven hehe.
Also, every character is represented by an emotion/whatever it could be considered lol. Dawn represents... You'll have to find out x3 So, I hope you all enjoyed this! Bye :)
-Pichu~!
