Chapter One: The Beginning

The wind was howling, the clouds flickered and clashed, and the rain wasn't stopping. High on a hill above a town stood a castle, it had 4 towers, made out of dull grey stone. Vines strung themselves around the towers, and the darkened windows gave the impression that no one was home. But someone was home. High up in the tallest tower a light shimmered, as if someone was there. Inside the dimmed room stood a man, a man in his gray and dark-brown cloak. He was standing in front of a machine, a machine covered in lots of little lights and levers. The man seemed to be struggling against the machine to keep it going. Quickly he spun the wheel attached the side, and then the purple lever, the machine made a massive bang, the man was flung backwards as there was a massive explosion, all of the lights went out, and suddenly, there was a shrieking squeal as a light in the room suddenly exploded.

Then, there was silence. As the man got back up the machine made a humming sound, and in the corner of a room, in front of a dark portal, stood 3 figures. A Purple haired man in a white shirt, grey gloves and white trousers, and a Magenta haired woman, with a short white top, grey shoulder length gloves and a white miniskirt, both of them had a bold red R on their shirts. With them, was a strange looking cat, with what appeared to be gold on its head, the Trio started to laugh evilly, and after a couple of minutes, the man joined in.

It was a warm day in London. The Gressenheller University was empty, save for a few students staying behind to catch up. The Professor was in his study when there was a knock at the door. As he walked towards the door, the Professor wandered out loud to Luke about who it could the door was Parcelle, a noble postman who delivers letters from anywhere. Parcelle had in his hand, a small yellow envelope, he seemed in quite a hurry to hand it to the Professor before he hurries off, he didn't even say anything. In all means the Professor was puzzled, but he decided to let it slide. He made his way back to the desk, Luke's eyes fixed upon him at all times. Luke watched as the Professor smiled after opening the envelope, then he started to frown, Luke knew this wasn't a good sign. But then the Professor laughed, he seemed delighted, and then turned to Luke, and simply said in a merry voice, "Luke my boy, looks like we have a puzzle to solve".

"Krookodile, Stone Edge" Ash commanded, and on his masters orders Krookodile charged towards his opponent surrounded by a veil of floating rocks. "Typhlosion, Flame charge now" Jimmy ordered. The Pokemon collided with sheer force, enough to cause a cloud of dust to shroud the clearing. As the dust cleared both creatures we laying in the grass, their eyes were just swirls. "Both Pokemon have fainted, this match is a draw" Cilan announced. "And now, it is time for lunch". The 2 boys approached each other and shook hands; both agreed it was great. Suddenly there was an explosion from deep within the woods; Pikachu, Piplup, Axew, Pansage and Typhlosion sprinted towards where the incident had happened, Ash and the gang found it hard to keep up. As the gang reached the clearing, most of their Pokémon were nowhere to be seen, instead, there was a dark portal, the size of a basket ball. It appeared to be closing, in front of the portal sat Pikachu, who glimpsed back, and with one last Pika he threw himself into it. Ash ran towards the portal shouting Pikachu, but just as he reached it, the portal sealed shut. Ash kneeled on the grass, at first he was motionless, but then, he thumped the ground, it appeared that he was crying, Cilan, Iris and Dawn hurried over to comfort him. The forest fell silent, as if no Pokémon were there anymore, and all that could be heard, was the faint sound of footsteps getting closer.

The dawn was raising in the middle of England, as the Professor, Luke and Emmy drove through the winding country lanes of the English countryside. "Professor" said Luke, "Are we there yet". "Not yet Luke" the Professor replied, "But it isn't far now". The Professor had only just finished his sentence when there was a blinding flash of bright yellow, and then the Laytonmobile hit something and skidded to a halt by the side or the road. All 3 climbed out of the car to see what had happened, and laying in the middle of the road, was a small yellow mouse like creature, its cheeks had a red circle patch on either side. Luke approached the creature, but as soon as he reached out to try and help it yellow bolts of lighting came from it, and electrocuted Luke. Luke, determined not to give up, approached the creature again, but this time slower than before, "Don't worry" Luke explained, "I am only trying to help you".For a few seconds the only noise you could hear was from the morning birds up ahead and then, "Pika". The Mouse's eyes opened, and the creature stared at Luke. Luke held out his arms, and the mouse clambered up his arm and on to his shoulder. "You really do have a way with animals Luke" Exclaimed the Professor, "But there is something not quite right about this mouse" Emmy added "Can we keep him?2 asked Luke. "I don't know Luke" Replied the Professor. "Please Professor, at least until he is healthy again" Luke begged. "Well, ok then" The Professor conceded, "Now lets get back into the Laytonmobile, we have a way to go yet".
