How I began Anew.
Chapter 1: There's no turning back.
Unknown POV, New York, New York
I've had enough. The bullying, the teasing, the name calling.
I clearly didn't belong here.
The wind whipped my hair everywhere on top of the building I was standing on.
It was about remove myself. Permanently this time. And there was no one to stop me this time. I was about to end my suffering.
A ominous crack of lightning crackled through the clouds, illuminating the night sky. The thunderous boom of thunder sounded shortly afterwards.
A large downpour appeared, soaking me instantly. The chill quickly began spreading throughout my body
I stepped into the ledge and looked down.
Another flash of lightning revealed to me just how high the drop was.
I was terrified... Did I really want to do this?
No. I have so much to live for!
I never got a chance to step back from that ledge.
I vainly tried to regain my balance, but the strong winds made it impossible.
So this is how it ends.
I was gone.
Unknown POV, Unknown Location.
...wha?... What?... I'm still alive?
How?
I tried opening my eyes, but found them swollen shut.
I quickly became filled with excruciating pain!
My nerves felt like they were on fire.
I tried screaming, but all that came out was a pitiful croak.
I heard a girl gasp.
"Oh my God! You're hurt! I need to get Daddy!" The child said in surprised fear.
That is the last thing I heard before I passed out from the pain.
"I've got to hurry! I don't think he has much time!"
Beep...
Beep...
Beep...
Beep...
My mind was in a haze.
I was able to open my eyes, but all I was able to see was a blur that kind of looked like a blue dog.
Blue?
Dogs aren't blue.
What's going on?
I slowly faded into unconsciousness.
"He seems to be healing quite nicely. If that Pokémon brought him only a minute later, we would have lost him."
What? Pokémon?
Pokémon don't exist! I'm so confused.
I groaned as I tried to get up. Everything felt sore.
"Oh my! He's waking up!" Said a woman that sounded familiar.
"Wa? What? He's awake?" Said the same girl from before.
"No no no no no you don't! Lay back down, little egg! You're not fully healed yet!"
When I opened my eyes, I saw a Chancy rush up to me and gently forced me back into a lying down position.
I was speechless. Pokémon. They are in front of me. They're real...
"He's feeling confused." Said the girl.
I looked over towards the voice and saw a Riolu instead of the little girl I've been hearing. The Riolu spoke.
I fainted.
What happened?
"Are you okay? It's something wrong?" Asked the Riolu.
"Pokémon are real? I can't believe it..."
"Huh? Of course they're real. I'm a Pokémon!"
"I don't think I'm from this world."
"What do you mean?"
"Where I was from, Pokémon didn't exist. Pokémon Centers didn't exist. And buildings were built using humans and machines. Using nothing else. Instead of Pokémon, there were animals. Animals didn't have any special attacks or types. They fought with tooth and claw to survive. It was the world I left behind."
The Riolu was speechless. She clearly didn't know what to do, but she eventually decided to hug me.
I didn't know what to do. What can I do?
I guess this is my life now.
Author's Notes
I intentionally left the first chapter short.
I do not condone suicide and only used it as a plot device.
His reasons for doing what he did will be revealed later in the story.
He already has knowledge of Pokémon.
He's smart and quickly realized he was in the Pokémon world.
I was depressed today(June 3) and decide to create this.
Please forward any questions to my PM's.
