So…I get it. You're all probably wondering why I've decided to start a new story, rather than deciding to continue one of the other two after like, a one thousand year hiatus. Long story short, old flash drive broke; a lot of stuff I had saved for those two was stored on it, including incomplete chapters. There is somewhere I can go where the guy will be able to retrieve those documents on my computer, but we're not financially able at the moment.

On the bright side, I was looking through Microsoft Word the other day and actually found that the document with a lot of the plot ideas for my Pokémon Adventures series was still there, so I retrieved that at least. Any who, while I decide what to do with the other series', I'm starting this because a friend posted something that reminded me about this: I started the first chapter for this long ago, and it was the first fan fiction I ever thought about writing. And again, thanks to that friend, I'm ready to post it.

So, I want you to all kick back, relax, and enjoy this…

I ran through the plains of Nippon – Shinshu Field, to be exact. My Reflector, Solar Flare, was on my back, my Rosary, Tundra Beads circling around me, and I had my Glaive, Thunder Edge, tucked away out of sight. After running for a while, I eventually arrived at a cliff overlooking the ocean, where a shrine to the Moon Cave now sat on the coast. Or should I say, there was supposed to be a shrine where the entrance to the Moon Cave used to be. Now, there was what appeared to be a portal. I let out a mighty howl, then quickly ran down to it. When I arrived, I could feel a cold air coming from it, much colder than even the farthest northern reaches of Nippon itself. Suddenly, I heard movement behind me. I quickly turned, and was face-to-face with…Imps?! I had to do a double take.

I've defeated Orochi and Yami…why are there still Imps around? I thought to myself.

Whatever the case, they chose to mess with the wrong wolf today. But, just as I was about to attack them, one of them quickly rammed into me, knocking me into the portal.

I woke up some time later. I looked up into the sky, noticing the moon directly overhead. I tried to let out a howl, but was surprised and confused when a feminine grunt came out. I quickly looked down, and realized…that I was human! I looked around some more, and while I did have a human body, I maintained my white hair, wolf ears, tail, and fangs. I was completely nude, except for a blanket wrapped around me, my weapons, paint brush, and ink pots nowhere to be found.

I gotta find out what happened… I thought to myself.

I slowly stood up, but soon quickly fainted, unused to walking on two legs.

"What should we do with her?" My eyes were still closed, but I was slowly regaining consciousness. I could hear voices – the first one male.

"I'm not sure Lawrence." A female this time. "We can't spare the room – much less supplies."

"How could you say that Holo?! She was near dead when we found her!"

"Sorry. I…I shouldn't have said that. But really – what can we do?"

"I'm not sure…"

I slowly sat up, still nude, except now I was under bed sheets. I looked around the room, and saw a silver-haired man, possibly in his mid-twenties, dressed in traveling clothes, along with a young, adolescent, brownish-orange-haired girl, dressed in long, baggy clothing, a hood on her head.

"Hey, good morning sleepy head." The man – Lawrence, I presumed – said to me.

"How are you feeling?" The woman – Holo? – asked me. She had a very proper and foreign accent – more foreign than the man's.

"I…I'm not sure…" I responded. So that's how I sound as a human. I thought to myself.

"What's your name? Where are you from? I'm Holo, this is Lawrence." The girl asked me.

"My-my name is Amaterasu…I'm from a land called the Celesti- I'm from a land called Nippon." I said, stopping myself, deciding that mortals must not know of my divine origin.

"Nice to meet you. I'm from a place called Yoitsu." Holo responded. Lawrence gave her a stern look, as if that was information they weren't too keen on giving people.

"Oh, don't give me that look Lawrence! Look at her ears! And tail! It's clearly obvious that she is of the same origins as I!" As if in defiance, she took her hood off, revealing wolf ears.

I paused, shocked. Clearly, Holo was a goddess as well as I.

"Where am I?" I finally demanded, it obvious that I was no longer in Nippon.

"You're in a town called Nyohhira," Lawrence responded, "it lies in the far north of the Nation of Ploania. To the far south is the Nation of Trenni. This continent is nowhere near your Nippon – I've never even heard of the place."

"Nor have I." Holo added. "Please, tell us more about you. We need more information if we are to help you try to return to your home."

I thought for a moment. Could I trust these two? They seemed truthful…I sighed.

"My name is Amaterasu. I am the wolf goddess of the Sun. I am the reincarnation of the great Shiranui, who one hundred years ago, defeated the eight headed dragon, Orochi. Then, I was reincarnated by the wood spirit Sakuya to fight Orochi again. After I defeated him, I went out to defeat the lord of darkness himself, Yami. For a while, there was peace across the land. I thought we would be safe for good. But, last night, I noticed a portal on the coast, and I was attacked by imps – servants of the darkness. They pushed me through the portal, and I awoke in an alleyway in this human form. Then I fainted, and woke up here."

I finished, and let them think about my words.

"It may be possible that those of darkness may have created a portal to send you to our world," Holo said, "though for what reason, I am unsure."

"Whatever the case, we need to go get supplies Holo." Lawrence said, interrupting everything. "This inn won't survive on two goddesses and a merchant alone."

"Right." She replied. "Amaterasu, do you wish to come with us? Obviously, you'll need clothes."

"Sure. I might as well get used to this new world." I said. "And call me Ammy."

"Great." Holo said. "I'll get you some clothes." She said walking over to dresser on the other side of the room.

We walked down the street, Holo and Lawrence having a conversation about mercantilism and business at the inn. I was behind them, admiring the town around me. Holo had eventually gotten me baggy clothing almost exactly like hers, just in different colors. While we were walking, I saw something shiny out of the corner of my eye. The two of them continued walking, and I rushed over to a familiar alleyway. On the ground, I found nothing other than Solar Flare, Tundra Beads, Thunder Edge my brush, and my ink pots. I picked them all up. I put Thunder Edge into a scabbard that was next to it and wrapped it around my waist. I put Solar Flare on my back, careful to have my cloak cover it up. As for Tundra Beads, I wrapped them around my neck, and they appeared as a beautiful necklace. Finally, I put the ink pots on one side of my belt and the paint brush opposite Thunder Edge. I quickly caught up to my two hosts and told them the good news. Things are starting to look up for me in this new land…

xXxXxXxXx

Well, I personally think that turned out great. Now for you guys' opinion.

P.S – I swear I'll update this more often than Pokémon Adventures and Poké-People.
