Welp, this is it, well um, before I get this started I have someone to thank for this story, I haven't seen the guy in years, damn…But, you may may know him, his name is Dude492, he was a great friend of mine and we helped each other and roleplayed a lot, even though when we started I wasn't very good at it… I can't really even remember the names of his stories, but, I can't let this work of art go to waste, he wouldn't want that… So, here it is:
Make the Most of it Chapter 1: The Rift
I groaned, my phone alarm singing its annoying tune, I picked it up and slid the unlock to shut it the fuck up. (oh yeah, be prepared for swearing)Well, this'll be a lovely day, I got up and outta bed and stepped over to the bathroom, stripping my pj bottoms on the way and tossing them onto the bed while I walked, them being the only thing I was wearing. I stepped into the bathroom and flipped on the light blinding me as i instinctively brought up my hands to shield my eyes, damn, I really gotta stop doing that. I put my arms down and let my eyes adjust looking in the mirror, my name, is Samuel Virex, a tall well toned man, but I wasn't "beefy" really, the only beefy parts of me were my legs and back muscles, thanks marching band. I combed my hand through my short fluffy grey hair, rolling my dull blue eyes to myself, I guess I gotta use head and shoulders shampoo today. I opened the shower door, and turned on the hot water, closing it cept for a small opening for my arm so I could feel the temperature. when it was ready I stepped inside, feeling like an hour had already gone by, when I knew it had only been two minutes, this is going to be a slooooow morning. I sigh
After my shower I had pissed, brushed my teeth, gotten dressed, and done up my hair, I decided to go casual today, wearing just a simple dark grey polo and blue jeans with black socks, a ying yang necklace hanging around my neck, my hair done in hip hop cut, but with paste and a hair dryer, making it fluffier than average, and nice and smooth, no separations, i grabbed my glasses and pushed them onto my face, putting the rag case in my pocket as well as my wallet and phone, I leave my room, it having been a little dull and of ill importance to the story. I walk over to my office, it contained a desk with a wheelchair, a nice custom tower on it with a v-tech monitor, the only other thing in the room was a door frame like structure with a panel at the side, it seeming unfinished based on the wires hanging from areas missing metal sheets. I switched in the lamp and plopped onto the wheelchair, turning on my computer and starting out the day right, by going to fanfiction, I smiled, I loved fanfiction. Especially stories based in the pokemon universe, including a guy named Dude492, at the beginning and end of chapters he'd always seem to go into his world, talking about a rift portal, no one believed him, except me, and based on how he was finishing up his Fic I thought I'd give him a pm, and I was happy to see a response.
original message: Um, hey, not quite sure how to do this, but I would love to see the good ending.
Dude492: Here's the plan "Virex" I'm going to post all endings and then you guys choose the ending you want to believe happened.
Me: Ah… That makes sense, and if one of the endings makes me cry, I blame you. :P
Dude492: Haha, oh well, that just proves it was a good story.
Me: Well of course, that's expected of a good author.
Dude492: Indeed.
Me: Um, yeah… So now what?
Dude492: After I post the endings and the credits, I'll do my other stories until I feel comfortable doing the Prequel to A New Region. (So that was its name… Damn, and if you haven't figured it out already, I'm actually going through pms we sent to each other right now)
Me: That sounds nice.
Dude492: It'll be the story of Bruce and his friends going around wanting to achieve their dreams.
Me: Well, that's good, and I also use that thing that you use… The voice dragon thing, I forgot what it was called.
Dude492: Dragon Dictator? WHY?!
Me: Eh, it's a lot easier for me, allows me to multitask.
Dude492: Well I'll turn mine on then. It looks like you haven't changed the Settings.
Alternative conversation type
"nd on!" the voice was fairly masculine in the recording yet seemed a little mellow in many ways, almost frisky
"Who are you talkin' to?" This voice was very feminine, and very soft as well, I could only guess this to be Lopunny
"A fan of A New Region." He said flatly, guess I'm not the first fan to pm him.
"Awww, Hi there… Virex?"
"There's a reason why I answer the fan mail." Well, that confirms that, I start up a voice message and speak into my headset.
"Y-yeah, um I was hoping for some help, my rift is missing a few pieces from the blueprint, could you help me out?" I ended the message and hit the interact button on my headset, sending it, quickly receiving a response.
"Master came from a different world too." huh, seems Lopunny calls dude master, I'll take note on.
"Funny how she forgets it's supposed to be a secret."
"It was?" I can't help but smile at the girl's innocence, lucky man, lucky man indeed. I decide to start up my next message, prepared for lots of recording and button pressing.
"Well it's not like I didn't know, it's in your Fic man, plus, I already know about the Rift, speaking of the Rift, you helping me or not?"
"I figured someone would take me seriously."
"Blaze?" Holy shit a normal pokemon.
"Um hey, do you need a translator, I think I can send you a file with the blueprint." I was struggling to keep myself from exploding. A FUCKING POKEMON! And not a person that could pretend to be one, a real one, this is the best fucking day of my life.
"So will it translate Burner's voice to text? Cause Scientists at Kanto are working on a Translator that actually translates Poke Speech to English."
"Send it! I'm sick of translating for Master!" Guess the whole "Master thing makes sense now, knowing she's a pokemon.
"Okay well, they translate directly, they aren't super advanced either it's a pretty generic voice, hell, I don't even know if they'll work, not like I have pokemon here to test them on. But I'll get it to ya, your email was in your file so I'll just send it to that… Annnd done! check your email and you should find a blueprint and be able to put something together pretty quick, by the way, it's a collar."
"Hold on, why do I need a collar?"
"You don't it just makes it more convenient for the pokemon… And you're a twisted mofo, ya know that?"
"Okay, I can make this, just… hold on…" There was about a minute of blank sound on the recording "Annnd done, alright, Abnosnow! Get over here!" You could hear a faint rumbling in the background, I guess they would weigh a lot.
"Abomnasnow!" I could hear the collar snapping closed around his neck, this is one sensitive mic he's got there. "Snow?" A faint staccato beeping could be heard, okay, it's on, that's good, no explosion. "I say what are you doing? HM?! I CAN TALK!" The voice was robotic and monotone, only increasing in volume to express excitement.
"BLaze?!"
"Though the collar chafes my neck."
"It worked!" I guess Lopunny was REALLY tired of translating.
"Yeah…" Well, if that works… I wonder, I pause on the next for a second as I look over a couple things in the Rift. Hmmmm, maybe if I remove the cancellation switch… Then rewire this, aaaand… Hey, no explosion, good.
"Thanks for testing that for me, I'm glad it works, but I'm kinda curious about what your other pokemon have to say…"
"But what about my speech? I'll be Jolly well chuffed if I don't receive another go." I never predicted a pokemon to have such excellent grammar.
"You Will" I could hear the latch click open, "Alright… Luxray, come here and try this." I could hear the latch slick shut and the beeping of it being turned on.
"This collar aches, however, now that I can speak… WHY DON'T YOU EVER BUY ME YELLOW POFFINS?!"
"Ow…" Yeah, I could feel the sting even on my end.
"Why?" Wow, I can hear the pleading through the robotic voice, guy must be desperate.
"Cause I don't have any Kelpsy Berries! I need those to make yellow ones!"
"Oh… Sorry." Click, welp, guess Luxray won't be yelling for a little while, "Lux?"
"Who's next?!"
"Try Burner." I could hear Lopunny suggest, she's actually been really quiet now that I think about it.
"Blaziken?"
"Try this, it might hurt a little" I could hear Dude put the collar on the blaziken.
"Testing, Hm? It works."
"How do you feel?"
"Heavy, I want to be fast, take it off."
"Okay…" I could hear the Dude take the collar off the guy. Well, that was short.
"Blaze." Hmmm, well with all that time I was able to close up part of the frame of the Rift, I think I'm getting close.
"Well, it is a prototype, you are testing it now after all." I point out to the group,
"Well it seems that it's not effective."
"Gastro." Is that a Gastrodon? Click. Welp, guess I'll find out. "Oh Wow, Such voice, dat quality, awesome pitch." Welp, none of those are true and this guy spends way too much time reading Doge memes.
"Taking it off." Click. Thank god.
"Well, I might be able to Improve the voice box, lighter, more of a personal voice, but the uncomfortable collar is on you man."
"Perhaps you should find other beta testers." Unappreciative much?
"Sorry, but I can't exactly do that, remember, not in the pokemon world?"
"Goddamnit."
"Gar," Click, "Get this wretched collar off!" I can't help but grin.
"Hey man, not my fault it's wretched." I could hear a high pitched buzzing and static,
"Garchomp! No!" I wasn't paying attention really, but I wish I had, appears that physics there are a little different, my invention worked for what short time it could exist there, but it quickly exploded, causing a fissure in space and time, turning on my Rift.
"The Fuck?!" I quickly lost my balance and tripped, the doorway like a vacume, trying to pull me in, I gripped the panel as I flew into the air and tried to hit the cancellation switch, but it- Aw Shit. I lost my grip and got sucked in, next thing I knew, I hit something hard, and everything went black.
Welp. that's the first chapter done, I hope you enjoyed and thanks for reading, this chapter was really challenging to write, and took a lot of courage to put up, please feel free to give me some advice on how I may be able to improve my writing style, I'll get up another chapter soon, but until then, thank you once more.
