A/N: This is just another fanfic I wrote and it's just a mere backstory for one of my characters on one of my YouTube series. I hope you like it. Please no flaming. And please give me constructive criticism. I could use some tips if my stories have to be better.

I walked into the room. I didn't know what he wanted from me. All I knew was that he wanted me to do something for him. But why did he want me for it? He knew me.
I was timid. I had a hard time controlling my strongest move. I had to put a tight grip on my wrist if I didn't wanted to cause a lot of destruction. Another thing he clearly knew was that I didn't like to battle. If I tried battling, I'd give up easily or get defeated easily.
If he was asking me, it wouldn't be important then. Right?
The lights in hall shined brightly. I looked around and saw him. I slowly walked up to him. As I walked towards him, I didn't take my eyes off of him. How could I? He was really cold-hearted.
He was a human with red hair that was in a strange fashion. Sorta like the legs of a bug type. A bug type kinda like a Spinarak. Okay, bad example. All I can say is that they were pointed in six different ways. He was wearing a crown that looked more like a sort of helmet to me. Of course, it couldn't protect his head. It only meant he ruled. He's the one I have to work for. He wore a shirt that had a strange pattern. It was a gray shirt. On the part near his neck, it had a black spikey pattern but some yellow could be seen with a red border around it. I could only see one sleeve of his shirt where I saw the exact same pattern as the part near his neck. The rest of it was bocked by a red cloak but I could tell he was wearing something gray. I couldn't exactly tell what it was. Was it some sort of skirt? He beared white gloves on his hands but they looked more like bandages to me. Of course, I could never tell if they were gloves or bandages. On his feet were yellow sandals and in his hand was a staff that was always closed. I've only seen what was inside once. It was a sort of spherical green gem. It had a very pretty shine inside it although every time I asked what it was, I wouldn't get an answer. At both his sides were two pokemon, one at each side of him.
One was a Heatran. I was surprised he actually had one of those since I knew very well that it was a legendary pokemon. It was wearing a sort of armor that I knew was how Marcus managed to control it without the chance of being incinerated. The other was a Bronzong. He only used it for its Hypnosis move which I found a bit of a waste. If he was only gonna use it for one move, then he may as well release it. Like Heatran, it was also wearing armor so Marcus could control it.
I went up to him. I stood in front of him and bent down on one knee and bowed my head. "Master Marcus." I said.
"Glad you came Sky." he said to me.
His voice sounded cold. I tried not to show I felt nervous around him. Of course, by now, he probably already knew. Not from my actions. But probably from another one who works here.
Sword.
He was a Sceptile and he would always tease me for being timid. He'd tease me for the fact I didn't like to battle. Of course, that wasn't my fault. It wasn't my fault that I preferred being at peace instead of battling other pokemon. Battling wasn't the way I wanted to go. I was different than others. Battling bothered me because how could anyone perserve peace with violence?
I let that thought get out of my head as I listened to the order Marcus had for me. "I need you to do something for me."
Slowly, I raised my head and looked into his cold red eyes. They showed no emotion. I tried not to show anything in my eyes as well. I couldn't show him that I was afraid of him. I just had to hope to Arceus that there was no fear in my eyes at all.
"Listen carefully to your task because I'm only saying this once." he said. I listened intentively to what he had to say. "There is a Celebi named Dawn. You know how Celebi's can send themselves and others back or further into time, right?"
"Yes." I replied as simply as I could to avoid letting him hear how nervous I felt.
"I want you to track her down before she sends a human named Damos and a spikey-eared Pichu named Spiky back to their respective time period." he ordered.
Another human? That had to mean there was someone in this world all this time other than Marcus. But... a spikey-eared Pichu? I've never heard of anything like that before. It was new to me. I thought I knew everything about the different kinds of pokemon in this world. Okay, maybe not every pokemon but the ones that lived in the region. "I want to make sure you find Dawn, capture Damos and Spiky and bring them back here and make sure you KILL that Celebi."
The one task I didn't want to hear. The task to kill someone. "Why can't you ask someone else?" I asked even though I knew I'd regret it.
"Everyone else is busy at the moment except for you." replied Marcus "And you will do as I say, won't you? Because you know the consequences if you fail to."
I gulped nervously and bowed my head again but stuttered "Y-yes M-Master Marcus..."
"Good. You may leave."
I slowly got up and left the hall. When I was sure I was out of Marcus' view, I mentally slapped myself. I can't believe I actually accepted the mission to kill someone! And to make matters worse, I don't even know a Celebi named Dawn. I've never even seen a Celebi in my life. They're always travelling around that it's hard to see one. You have to have sheer luck to see one in real life. And I'm not one who's exactly "lucky". Fate sure proved that when Marcus asked me to kill someone. I can tell he even regretted sending me. I didn't even have the courage to engage into a battle with anyone. Not of the fear of getting hurt. It was hurting other pokemon, especially ones that I don't even know.
But I had no choice. I had to do what he said because not doing anything would mean he'd give me an extremely painful death. Or he'd force me to wear the armor that'll brainwash me. I've seen him use that armor for some of his "slaves" anyways. I was one of his slaves except I managed to convince him to not let me wear the armor. I don't think I would've liked the experience of having to have hurt innocent pokemon and I don't remember anything. He gave me the armor, and I would've been just a puppet. Like his Bronzong and his Heatran.
I quickly got rid of the thoughts in my head and departed to complete my mission. Find a Celebi named Dawn before she sends a human and a Pichu back in time. I didn't exactly see what was so about it but clearly, there was some sort of purpose of this to Marcus. All of these things tasks Marcus has were all a mystery to me. I never understood why he did these things. If I tried asking, I wouldn't get an answer. He'd only tell me to leave. If I tried arguing, then he'd get mad at me and send out death threats. Just like if I asked about the strange spherical object he had in his staff.
When I was finally out, into the sunlight, I looked up into the sky. Only streams of sunlight were peering through the trees of the forest. It's been a while since I ever came outside. We were only allowed to leave unless we had a mission but even if we were done, we had to return immediately.
Of course, this time, I was sure I'd have to spend a long time outside. I wasn't gonna try to escape anyways so I don't think Marcus had to worry in anyway. I don't think I'd be able to escape anyways.
Either way, I knew what my mission was and I knew I had no choice but to complete it. If I tried to escape on a mission, Marcus would figure it out and have someone, more notably Sword, to go out and find me. And possibly try to kill me. That was one of his main ways of punishing anyone. So I could only hope I could get this over with quickly before he got the wrong idea.
My mission was to find Dawn, kill her and capture Damos and Spiky.
Even though I had a hard time mustering out bravery, I had to.
But no matter how I saw this, I had the same exact thoughts.
I can't believe I got myself involved in this...
A/N: How's that? It's not going to be a long fanfiction but I know I want to complete it.
Anyways, I hope you liked the first chapter and please review!
But please don't correct me on my grammar.
