A/N hey everyone, I would like to humbly welcome to my first Pokémon fanfic. Just to let everyone know this is a hybrid/Pokémon fic.
"So you want to know about the incident? What research went on there? If they're any other survivors that can help you recover the secrets. You should forget It there is only one, Thomas Becker, that's me. I'm not what you would call a nice person but what happened at the Latrus labs should never be done. That look…your not going to give it up is you? Guess I'm going to have tell, you're not going to let me out otherwise. Fine I'll start from the very beginning of my story. It was 6 and a bit years back, I was 22…"
Thomas shifted in his chair a little as he waited in his office for the news. He worked in the security department of a medical research company that was founded and based in Hoenn. It mainly worked on contracts so they had to cater for whatever they needed, this led to them having experts on both human and Pokémon anatomy. Thomas's job in security wasn't really important or entertaining, keeping locks up to date and browsing security footage were the highlights. Hopefully that was going to end soon there was an opening in the independent research area, this would be more interesting and active as actual guard watch duty was required. The door to Thomas's office opened and a woman walked in, Thomas put down the paper weight he was fiddling with and asked "So am I getting transferred?"
"I didn't get the job that I had applied for I got something better; I managed to get a position as an overseer. I took the offer because it was in administration. In the end I turned out to be doing a different kind of overseeing."
Thomas looked down at the tread mill he was running on, and then to his watch. He had five more minutes of the endurance test left. Thomas actually quite enjoyed his physical check ups, it always feels good when an expert tells you that you have a good psyche. The whole testing seemed a little bit needless, he had passed a physical four months back and it wasn't as though he was moving into a more active position. Regardless of his doubts he performed to his standard and was dismissed as fit for work.
As he exited the building Thomas was greeted by the city known as Slateport. He had the rest of the morning to just sightsee as he would not be picked up from his hotel until eleven the following morning. Deciding that he wasn't suited to lounging on the beach, he settled for a walk along the promenade. Why get sand and grit in your shoes when you can get the same view without? The promenade was better anyway, there are always people, locals, families and couples, some of them have Pokémon with them whilst others are feeding the wingull that have made themselves at home. Thomas walked for a while to the less populated part of the beachfront and began to lean arms crossed on the railing. He was contemplating his new job, thinking of the unknowns caused anxiety but Thomas found it difficult to dispel the thoughts.
"The sea, does it not just instil strong emotions in you?" Thomas pulled a stray black hair from his mouth and turned to face the female voice.
"You appreciate it also, I see." Thomas ran a look over the women. Quite tall, only maybe and inch shorter than himself. Straight brown hair reaching down to her shoulders, practical but still attractive. A black T-shirt with "[insert witty comment here]" written in a white text and block caps.
"Yeah, don't see enough where I'm from." The women commented, she seemed to be taking in him with the same detail he had.
"Near the equator?" Thomas guessed before moving onto a more important question. "So brings a nice girl like you to a guy like me?"
"Closer actually, Orre. And you're standing in my spot. I come out here every so often to release stress." Nice voice, Thomas could not help thinking.
"Anything you want to take out on a stranger?"
"It's just anxiety, new job." She explained. Thomas could empathise with that. "But thanks anyway…" The women stalled gesturing for Thomas to introduce himself.
"Thomas, and what may I call you?" Thomas outstretched a hand.
"Call me Lydia." Lydia took the hand a shook it. "You have Pokémon, and so do I." She stated.
"oh no, I'm no trainer… "Thomas was cut short by Lydia, "C'mon it will be fun"
"OK, I'll try it." Thomas reached for a Pokéball. "time for a battle Xatu." He said releasing the lock mechanism. The bird stretched its' white wings before readying itself.
"by the way I lost, we aren't…we were not extremely competitive. As for me and Lydia, I'm not going to bore you with the details suffice to say, we laughed, we cried, it was great. I'm going to fast forward to my arrival to the island now that OK?"
A/N so here we have it, the first chapter of a noobs first Pokémon fic. Please let me know what you think. Good, bad or plain sucky. If it is one of the latter two please say why instead of a LULZ U LEIK TEH SUX review. See you soon my hopeful fans!
