The Lamp of the Hidden Ampharos
We begin our humble tale on a small isolated island far off the Orange archipelago. Surrounding this rather large group of islands, though not as many as the archipelago about eight in total, was surrounded by whirlpools, coral reefs, shallow water and fairly rocky shores. On a cliff looking over a wide stretch of the beach watching for anything that may wash up on it was an Ampharos looking over the edge while walking.
This Ampharos was rather odd for his breed. He was not shiny or anything of that kind. He was simply different living on his own staying away from many except the ones coming to the beach while many Pokémon on the island lived in a small "Village" of sorts. It was led by an elder Shedninja that lived on the island longer than anyone. The Ampharos was named Jack and he lived in a small cave on the beach near the shore, where at night he would walk the cliffs and beaches looking for things washing up by chance.
Jack was currently sitting on a boulder looking at the ocean with his tail glowing and odd shade of greenish purple. That was what the odd about this young Ampharos, the bulbs on his tail and head would change depending on his mood or thoughts. While his body was normal for Ampharos except for some parts of his body had marks on them. They were a slight blue color that glowed sometimes.
The few that would say they were friends were found on the island's beaches by him. Everyone on the island watched out for one another and did a kind of job for the community. Jack's was considered one of the most important by many because he was the one that brought the Pokémon that washed up on the beach to the village. Many on the island met him on the beach when he was carrying them out of the water and into his cave where he would give them food or whatever they needed to help them feel better before showing them into the village.
Jack while sitting on a stone heard something behind him and glanced back seeing the tail of a small Eevee. One he knew as Loki, a new rather small Eevee that washed up on the shore that was afraid of just about everything. While the small Eevee hid behind a stone Jack got up and went back to the beach where he saw something shining on shore. When he got to the bottom he saw it was a small pedant on a hat.
Jack looked at the hat and carried it back to his cave and put it on one of the stone shelves he set up for things he found on the beach that he found interesting or things that others had given him as a thank you, even if he said it was what he believed was right and needed no thanks. He put the hat on a small shelve with a few pendants on it in the shape of teardrops, stones, and other things. When he put it in his cave he walked out and saw Loki who fainted in fear at the sight of him stepping out of the cave making him look scary.
Jack shook his head as he picked Loki up and started to walk toward the village saying "I don't know why you are so afraid of me. But you are so small I guess it can't be helped. I just wish you'd stay in the village and out of my wool." Jack started up a small path up the cliff and towards the village.
As he walked through the dark village he saw a few Pokémon closing their little trading shops. Where they traded berries and other things for objects of interest like shiny stones and things, some pieces of metal they found on the beach not a week before. As Jack walked up to the center of the town where the largest building was the door opened for him.
Out of the dark door way came a voice saying "I figured you'd come tonight again when we could find the small one."
Jack walked into the building that was a simple room with a few piles of grass and leaves in a semi circle with a Shedninja at the back of the room and Jack set Loki on one of the piles and said "Loki here needs to stay in the safer area of the village. He won't leave me alone and when I try to talk to the little guy he faints." Jack shakes his head as the Shedninja chuckles, "Hollow please just make sure he stays out of the way until he can adjust. I need to go back to my home to watch the beach."
Hollow nods and says "I will try to Jack. But you know youth now a day...always doing what they please." Jack was already out the door and Hollow shakes his body and sighs, "Jack you don't know what's going to happen. I don't either but I know whatever it is your going to be a part of it."
