Where have you been…why did you go…? I don't understand…please…..don't…..you can't…..leave me…

Chapter 1

I can't make out or distinguish anything around me everything is pitch black. Not to mention the fact I'm numb to my claws. It's similar to drifting in a void of-nothingness if that's even a word. Out of the blue I feel a cold touch in what I think is my neck and it pulls me out of the darkness and into fuzzy reality.

"Son…Can you hear me…" I hear a faraway voice call out. W-Who is that…?

"Can you hear me? Wake up!" The voice yelled. I manage to open an eye though there was no point since I could barely make out the figure who just called me.

"Are you alright?" The figure asks. I merely groan in response. "Oh no…Andi …help m-…." As soon as I heard that fragment of a sentence everything goes dark again and I can no longer hear a thing.

Sometime later…

Drip…drip…drip. Is that water…? I slowly open my eyes finding myself in petite wooden room with a single carved out window and brushing my hands underneath me I sense the rough familiar texture of straw. Scanning around the room I find the source of the dripping, water is leaking from a hole in the ceiling forming a small puddle. I guess who ever owns this place didn't bother to fix the roof but…where exactly am I?

I try sitting up to get a better look around, however, my pounding head refuses to let me get up more than an inch. I press my paw against my forehead attempting to suppress the pain with no help. Suddenly I hear footsteps approaching the room and my body stiffens up. Oh no who's that?! I clutch the straw bed underneath me expecting the worse.

The door slowly creaks open and I hold my breath but to my surprise, instead of some scary creature a Lucario steps into the room. Even more to my surprise it's a female Lucario. Lucarios by themselves are rare but female Lucarios take it to another level. But that wasn't the thing made my head begin spin.

"You're awake I see." She says in a soft voice. My mind goes blank trying to think of something to say back to her.

After a long minute of awkward silence she asks "Are you alright?" and I simply shrug.

"Well that's reassuring." She says sarcastically, "Does anything hurt?"

"My head…um…where am I exactly…?" I ask softly, afraid of the answer.

"You're in my house. Well my adopted mother's house rather." Following that statement pounding steps echo into the room, followed by a large Blissey wearing a white apron entering the room.

"He's awake!" She exclaims. She rushes to my bedside and lifts me up rather roughly, causing my head to shake around. "I thought you wouldn't make it! I'm so glad you're okay!" Her eyes fill up with tears. She's…emotional huh?

"Mom, don't just lift him up he's hurt!" Lucario pulls me out of her mother's arms and sets placed me back on the straw.

"Sorry Andi I'm just happy he's alright. We found him outside completely out of it remember? I didn't know what to expect when we brought him back here." She replied. "Oh I forgot to ask you, what's your name son?"

"My name is…Neo…" I say kind of shyly.

"What a name you got. You're lucky we found you when we did, who knows what would have happened to you out there. Eterna forest isn't the safest place at night"

I look up at them both with a confused expression on my face. "Eterna…forest?"

"You know the biggest forest in Sinnoh. Oh wait you're a Zoroark so you're not from around here. Why are you so far from home?" Andi's mom asked, worried.

"I'm not in Unova?"

"No Neo…did you not know that?" I shake my head slowly in disbelief . I-I'm not in Unova?! How did-why am I-? My mind starts to full blown panic and I squeeze my eyes shut.

"Neo…its okay" Andi's mom pleaded, trying to reassure me. Despite that my mind was still flooded with denial. Andi stood behind her mother as if she was afraid to say anything.

"I shouldn't…I shouldn't be here." I finally manage to stammer. "I was at home, where I should be, moments ago. Now I'm here that just…" A warm paw touches my shoulder and I open my eyes. It was Andi, looking down at me with a smile. And that smile immediately takes every breath out of my body.

"It'll be okay. We'll figure something out but you need to rest. You look exhausted." She states with concern in her voice.

"I agree. Get some rest and we can talk about it in the morning." Andi's mom added. And with that they silently treaded out of room, leaving me with no light what so ever besides the dim moonlight coming in through the window. I might as well be unconscious again. I don't know where I am or how I got here and I can barely see a thing like before.

I turn on my side facing away from the window still stuck in doubt that I'm away from home. I mean I was JUST at home, sitting in my oran berry tree, on a branch looking at the stars. Then now, all of the sudden, I'm miles away from my home in a place I'm not familiar with, with many Pokémon I have not seen, I don't understand. I just don't get it. After all these thoughts swim in my mind I notice my body and my eyes getting heavy and I let them go, giving myself rest as Andi requested. Maybe this is just a dream…and if I wake up I'll be up in my tree again…and I'll see my friends again…please just let this be a dream…just let me get out of this nightmare….And with that thought, I fall asleep.
