Authors note: This is my first story, and constructive criticism is highly encouraged.
Yukio Oikawa was 51 years old. Despite the fact his immortality gifted to him by the powers of the dream world and the digital world, made him look the same way as he did when he was 36. Regardless, he was far too old to be playing a Pokemon game, no matter how you looked at it.
...However, that didn't stop him from shoving the Pokemon Ruby Game Boy cartridge into the lower half of his Nintendo DS, (generously donated by a somewhat bemused looking Ken) and starting the game up.
After watching the opening, Yukio attempted to get a grasp on how the game worked. So far, all he could figure out was that it appeared to be about some kids and their little creatures, and the game focused on some strange red 'dinosaur' of some sort. After the opening ended, the screen changed, and turned blue, leaving him with 2 choices;
NEW GAME, or OPTION. After messing around on the 'OPTION' selection, (changing the text screen formating to '9', making it look like snow)* Yukio decided to hit the 'NEW GAME' button.
The screen turned to black, and a man appeared. A little text box showed up at the bottom that read: "Hi! Sorry to keep you waiting!" Oikawa hit the 'A' button, deciding to fast-forward through the conversation, until he arrived at the gender selection part. Oikawa selected 'boy', and named the character Yukio, after himself. He then proceeded to flick through the rest of the conversation,until the screen changed and his character appeared, sitting inside what appeared to be some kind of Moving Van, which was, well...moving. After a few seconds, the van jerked to a halt, and Yukio walked out.
As soon as he exited the van, Oikawa was greeted with a gentle sounding melody, and a woman, whom Oikawa could safely assume was his characters mother. After exchanging a few words, his mother asked him to go upstairs and set his new clock. The task sounded trivial at first, but Oikawa decided that it wouldn't kill him to at least try. Besides...she's blocking the door.
Yukio headed up the stairs and proceeded to adjust the clock in his bedroom, as Arukenimon came raging through the door.
"OIKAWA!" She shrieked, as he calmly closed his DS and turned to look up at her. "Yes?" He responded, monotonously. "He's done it AGAIN! I can't take this anymore! We HAVE to get rid of him!" Arukenimon threw her hands into the air in disgust. "If we don't get rid of him, I swear..." Oikawa waited for a few seconds before inquiring; "..and who is 'he'?"
Arukenimon stopped in mid-rant and turned to face Oikawa. "You know exactly WHO I am talking about!" She snapped. "That horrible, repulsive, evil demon you agreed to take care of. Am I the one who has to suffer for this!?" Oikawa stared at her. "Are you going to at least tell me what he did?" He questioned. "I can't help you if you don't tell me whats wrong." Arukenimon's shoulders sagged. "I don't want to talk about it..." Oikawa sighed. "Then please leave me alone. I'm right in the middle of something." Arukenimon stared at him, dumbstruck. "What could be more important than me!?" She demanded.
"...Playing Pokemon..?"
"..."
"..?"
"I wanna watch."
Authors note 2- *The English translation of Yukio means snow! ^_^ Just thought i'd sum that up. Also, the story will progress as I actually play Pokemon Ruby, So expect an update very soon. Hm...I wonder what impact Arukenimon will have though...? (and yes, Oikawa is now immortal)
