THIS STORY IS INCOMPLETE AND ON HIATUS

This story has been an absolute blast to write but as I have transitioned into university majoring computer sciences, I have found little time for this project of mine. As I look back upon it, I see it as... below my standards. I do have plans to rewrite this story but only when I have free time allowing me to do so. As of right now, I have much in my life to juggle, and as I look at this story, as much as I want to rewrite it, I can't help but look back upon how much I've put into it and think: "Wow... this will rather intrusive amount of time."

Again, I am not quitting the writing business. In fact, this announcement is relative to the fact that I am making an attempt at entering it!

I want to write a novel.

A real one.

Anyway, if you're at chapter one, you've obviously just started reading so I'll quit rambling on about myself and let you enjoy!


Chapter 1

Just another day, here on Earth, waiting for something to happen. I always had an interest in animals, and once I saw pokemon when I was 9 years old, I thought it was one of the best shows ever.

Growing to fifteen years old now, I still can't seem to get my mind off of them. Whenever I was bored I would turn to my imagination, and think of what life would be like if they existed.

"Nick, you seem awfully quiet back there, is everything ok," my father said. As my father drove, I looked out the car window, enjoying the sunset. The colors mashed and blurred together over the many rooftops. The road was even with the rooftops beside us, making the view even more spectacular.

The sun shone on my brown hair, that flowed from my head to the top of my neck, while I flicked the hair covering my eyes out of the way. 'Perhaps it was time that I got a haircut', I thought to myself and chuckled. I was of an ordinary size and strength, nothing really that special. Funny, that seems to match my current lifestyle.

"NICK!" My dad yelled to get my attention.

"Huh? Oh, uh, ya I just have a lot on my mind." It seemed all too often that I would lose focus while fantasizing, as I would just gaze out the window and let my mind fly free.

After a little while, something caught my eye. A large, dark, figure was jumping a long the rooftops. I turned away, I was obviously letting my imagination get to me, but when I glanced back, it was still there. It was hard to make out what it was as I had to look into the sun to see it. The large blur jumped from rooftop to rooftop, it was amazing. The blur jumped in front of the sunset showing a magnificent slender silhouette. Time seemed frozen, when suddenly, a building passed by and the blur disappeared into thin air.

I was puzzled, I couldn't tell how big it was but I knew it was bigger than anything I'd normally seen. How could something that big be jumping rooftops with ease.

Later when I got home I couldn't seem to take my mind off of it. I couldn't report, no-one would believe me, because the biggest animal we have here is a coyote and I haven't seen one of those yet in the 15 years that I've lived on this island.

While it confused me, it amazed and intrigued me. Something like this, in the middle of nowhere. I wanted to see it again. I want to meet it.

One day later

I had finally managed to get my mind off of it. We went to the park that day, and had a picnic while the girls swam in the public pool. It was fun. We were just driving down the busiest street in town. Cars bustled down the road, as we drove by some of the towns most historic buildings.

I stared at the buildings, and when my eyes caught the rooftops, I suddenly remembered the creature last night. We drove along the road, as I tried to get it out of my headed again. I looked out the window, eying the rooftops, hoping that I would see it, and sure enough, there it was. It stood a low stance, still shrouded in darkness by the shadows. The sun reflected into it's eyes, as it stared at the car. Just then it ran out of sight.

"Hey Dad. Did you see that?" I said excitedly.

"See what?" he replied.

CHUNG! Something hit the roof of the van, hard. I looked up to find a huge dent in the roof. The van swerved a little to the left and right. My parents, sisters, and I were freaking out. We parked the van on the side of the road, we rushed out to see what landed on the van, but we were puzzled to find only the dent and nothing else.

We drove home in a state of shock wondering what the hell happened. As my family head inside, I took a quick glance at the van. I knew that whatever it was, it was what landed on the van. I now knew that whatever this was, it was a threat, but now, it intrigued me more than ever. I had to find out what landed on the van, so I jumped up to examine the dent in the van. I looked closely at the dent to see if I could see anything out of the ordinary, but there was nothing. But as I looked closer, I noticed something strange. There wasn't one big dent, but four little ones forming one big rectangular dent.

Whatever landed on the roof had four legs.

Several hours later

The sun had set, and the moon lit the ground outside. My sisters and I were watching TV in the living room. I heard my sisters discussing what happened earlier today.

"Oh ya, well what do you think landed on our roof," one of my younger sisters said.

"I remember that the city was doing construction on a nearby building, maybe they accidentally dropped some wood, and the wood bounced off the roof explaining why nothing was there," answered my older sister.

"Wood isn't heavy enough to dent the roof of our van, if it was that big we would have saw it fall off the roof."

"Hey, maybe something jumped onto our van." my youngest sister said, sarcastically. They all stared at each other for a second and briefly chuckled. I laid there on the couch, wondering if I should tell them what I thought made the dents.

I sat up, stared out the window, and looked at the van for a brief moment.. I was starting too lose hope in meeting this creature, but I'm not sure if I wanted to, it did try to attack us... I think.

I turned back to the TV, but as I did, something caught my eye. I looked back outside, across the street, and I suddenly became paralyzed with fear. Right across the street was that creature again standing on all four legs.

It looked roughly the same height as me from head to back toe. It was short, but had a long, sleek body. It stood valiantly as the wind blew through it's fur.

Time seemed frozen, all I could hear was the wind blowing through the trees outside, and the sound of my heart pounding.

It just stood there, glaring at me with thin, yet long eyes. The light of the street light shone in its eyes causing them to glow an eerie yellow. I looked into its eyes as it looked into mine. Whatever it was, it had an extremely powerful stare. After about ten seconds, a car zoomed passed the creature. As soon as the car passed, it had disappeared, completely.

I sat back down on the couch, scared out of my life. The girls were still conversing.

"Did anyone see what was outside?" I said.

"See what outside?" my younger sister said. I just sat, silent.

"Nick, are you okay?" my older sister said.

I sat there for another three seconds trying to put myself back together. "Ya ... ya, I'm fine."

11:00 PM

I just laid there in my bed, scared to think what was going to happen next. There was so much to think about. What was it? What obsession does it have with me or does it even have one? I tried to keep awake but so much had happened, I fell asleep.

I woke up in a daze, and looked out the window, it was still night. I looked at my clock

2:00 AM

'Ugh, how did I wake up so early,' I thought.

I heard some noises downstairs. 'Damn, I forgot to put the cat away.' Without thinking, I put on my housecoat and went to the staircase. On the way, for a brief second I remembered what I had seen this evening. I heard more clattering and clacking come from downstairs. I slowly, reluctantly crept around the corner and stared down the stairs.

It was there. The creature stood at the bottom of the staircase. It hadn't seen me yet, but I could see it. In person, it looked huge, much larger than any animal I'd ever seen.

"Holy-" I mumbled to myself, covering my mouth with my hand before I could say anything else. The creature's ears shot up all of a sudden, and it looked directly at me. I couldn't move, everything was silent.

The silence was broken, though, when it started growling ferociously, but I just stood there, unable to think, react, or even comprehend what was going on. It's growling became more intense, and all of a sudden, a flame erupted from its back.

I could finally see what it was. It had dark blueish fur on it's back and pale yellow fur on it's legs and underside. Its fur elegantly strolled down the back of its head, and ran smoothly all the way down it's back and wrapped around its body. It had a long face and a huge jaw line. While it was still growling I looked at its teeth, which even from five meters away looked massive. After a few seconds, my mind was doing back flips and my stomach was churning. Of everything that I've ever seen in my life, this was the most exciting.

It was a typhlosion.

I couldn't believe my eyes but I had to. Was it a dream? No, it couldn't of been a dream it felt to real, but I still wasn't sure. But as it was, there was a typhlosion staring me down and it didn't look happy.
