Hello I am droid-lich, or droid. This is the first chapter of my very first written fanfiction (yay), errm... I hope you will enjoy reading this. Also a plea from me, please review my work. Since it is my first fanfic I need to know where my strong points and my weak points are. I don't mind any bad reviews as I can learn from them (also if you review is basically telling me that I am rubbish full stop. that will just annoy me.). So I think I have covered the start of these authors' notes.
Ok time for the disclaimer
I Droid-Lich DO NOT own the rights to Pokémon and I never will.
Now then, time to begin.
"Ugh."
If I knew walking to Meteor Falls would drain me this much I would not have come here
My name is Vincent Fawkes I am about 9 years old my height is 4ft and 5inches and I weight about 112pounds. Currently I am wearing a pure white shirt with black coloured trousers I am also wearing brown shoes with white socks and I am wearing a pair of black gloves which are specialised to climb with. I am almost at the entrance to Meteor Falls and taking a little break, before continuing on my way inside.
I am an adopted child, when I was six my parents were killed by two unidentifiable people; I do not remember allot from that day apart from my parents were killed.
When I woke up days later I was found by a young couple who were Pokémon researchers, apparently they had known my parents as well as me for a very long time, and they thought it would be best if they took me in and raised me themselves.
In the 3 years I have met them they have home schooled me and taught me lots about Pokémon (especially about dragon Pokémon) but recently they mentioned a certain cave which might omit a strange magnetic field every 2 years or so.
It was called Meteor Falls. I told myself that one day I would scale the mountains towards Meteor Falls and find out why a magnetic field disruption occurs every 2 years.
Currently, I have almost reached Meteor Falls; my phone isn't working because of the disturbances within the area, but my new parents know where I am, as they gave me a notepad and pen to describe anything I see in there as well as the gloves that I am wearing. I begged them to let me go on my own because I wanted my own adventure seeing that when you reach 10 years of age, you can start travelling around on your own with a Pokémon.
It was strange up here though; my house seems so small and there was nobody around. I was alone. However I could not help the feeling that I was being watched by someone, or something.
I pushed that feeling aside, took a deep breath and carried on my adventure.
...
After a few minutes of walking I managed to reach the entrance to 'Meteor Falls'. I heard screeching coming from over my head, I ducked and looked up to see a swarm of Zubats and Golbats led by a single Crobat fly through the entrance, I took note of this on my note pad as I thought this might be interesting for my parents to know about.
I closed the notepad and placed it within my trouser pockets, followed by a deep breath "ok Vince, you can do this" I said in a quiet tone remembering that something was watching me.
I walked slowly towards the cave entrance, my legs were shaking the closer I got the more my body started to tremble; my thoughts reflected this, "what if I get attacked inside here? No one will be able to help me" I started to panic while more and more of these thoughts flooded my mind. I reached the part which marked the inside of the cave. "Ok here goes nothing." I told myself again in a quiet tone and followed this was a mad dash to get inside the cave.
I opened my eyes; I must have closed them while I ran inside I thought to myself.
I finally got inside it was dark, however I could see two lights one heading towards the inside of the cave, the other being the way I ran in. The first thing that really caught my attention was the sound of water crashing close to me; "I don't remember hearing the sound of water from outside." I thought to myself out loud; however the sound did replace some of my nerves with excitement.
I started to walk deeper into the cave, despite my nerves I had a mission to fulfil and I was not going to let my parents down. So with nervous determination I began to walk towards the exit of this tunnel.
After walking a short distance I exited the tunnel and into the main part of the cave and the sight was breath taking. Meteorites from the past were dotted around the cave unharmed, in the distance a waterfall crashed into a huge stream without ending; the cave's ceiling had holes bigger than the meteorites that have landed here.
What really caught my eyes were two species of Pokémon that I have never seen or heard of before, there were some shaped like the moon on a starry midnight sky and others that looked like the sun on a clear spring day. "Wow... I never believed Pokémon could look this beautiful" I said to myself. I reached into my right trouser pocket and grabbed my notepad and pen and sat on top of a meteorite as I began to study these new Pokémon.
...
An hour had passed. I slid off the meteorite and placed my notepad and pen back into my pocket. I began to start making my way back towards the tunnel where I came in from when a rock formation within the walls close to the waterfall caught my eye, I formed a question in my head "hmm if I climbed this would I be able to reach the top of this cave?." so like I normally do I decided to follow my suspicions and walked over to the rock formation. I placed my hands on a part of this formation and gave it a powerful tug. "Looks like it might be able to support my weight".
I started to climb up the wall hoping to see the whole cave from a high view point, but I felt a strange sensation again like I was being watched. I began to look around quickly to see if I was able to find out where this person of thing was. After a while I shook and thought "no one is watching me but the moon and sun Pokémon".
After some more climbing I had almost reached the top I was about 4 or 5 rocks away from being at the edge of the cliff, I was very nervous, one wrong move and it would be all over for me, my thoughts were on loop "don't look down, don't look down." Sweat was appearing on my forehead and in the palms of my hands I started to bite the inside of my mouth to calm myself. I was about to grab another section of the wall when suddenly I became frozen in a blue light, I managed to turn my head to see the moon shaped Pokémon with a light blue glow around its body.
"Luuunaa luna lun" the Pokémon was trying to speak to me, perhaps it was asking if I wanted help.
"Errm can you levitate me to the top of the cliff?" I asked in a quiet tone, the facial expression changed, it seemed to be smiling
"Luna luunaaatoneeee!" its eyes began to glow a mystical blue colour and I was floating to the top of the cliff, I presumed it had to be a physic type if it was able to levitate me up with ease.
We reached the top in a matter of seconds; the Pokémon released its physic move allowing me to move freely on top of the cliff. I tilted my head to the left and I asked it a question "what is your name?" again the Pokémon moved its beak upwards again like a smile and replied
"Lunatone" in a cheerful voice,
"Thank you Lunatone" I bowed my head and smiled and in a flash of light it teleported away. I turned my head to the right to have a look at the top of the waterfall, to my surprise there was a tunnel which went deeper into the cavern but it was odd, electricity was shooting out of it, I decided that I would have to dive into the water with Barboach and Magikarp to get into the tunnel.
I wondered if my clothes were waterproof I started to feel my clothing to check and had a discussion in my head to either jump in or not. Ignoring all bad possible outcomes I jumped into the pond, many Magikarp and Barboach moved away from me startled by the fact of a big object had fallen into the water. I started to swim to the other side, the Barboach were using their whiskers to try and feel what I looked like while the Magikarp swam away and unfortunately most of them swam into the waterfalls current. When I climbed out of the other side I started to hear very quiet splashes coming from below me, I sighed "silly Magikarps" I moved my hand to check if my notepad and my phone had been ruined or not from being in the water, to my horror it was. "Well these are now useless" I tossed the pen, notepad and my phone onto the ground and moved deeper into the cave.
...
The closer I got to the source of the electricity the more frequent the lightning appeared; I had to jump out of way many times just to avoid electrocution.
I emerged into the new room to a spectacular sight, many Magnemites and Beldums roamed around in the air in perfect unison with each other, it was an amazing sight, as in the far corner there was another cliff like in the one from previous room but a bit shorter and rockier. I also noticed that there was a ledge with a ladder in the middle of the cliff to the left. "I guess that ladder is where I head to if I want to head further into the cave, but for now I think watching these Pokémon might help me understand the magnetic disturbances that occurs every two years." I sat down on the rocky floor to watch these steel Pokémon fly through the air and to give myself a little break. After a few minutes of watching I got up off the floor and prepared to walk towards the base of the cliff.
I slowly started to walk below the steel Pokémon with my head tilted upwards to help me in avoiding the bolts of lightning that flew off them when they collided. Every so often while I was walking a flash of white light would appear over head and blind me for a couple of seconds because many of the Magnemites started to join together in triplets, which are known as Magnetons, the Magnemites evolutionary form.
Each time the Magnemites joined together electricity would spark and fly off them, many to the floor while the rest flew in random directions. I had to be careful not to be under newly evolved Magneton or I might be in for a shock. I was almost at the base of the cliff when my nightmare came true three Magnemites flew into each other above my head and started to evolve my eyes widened as I started to sprint away from them on the rocky terrain, the light got brighter and my sight was less visible I was almost at the cliff but, I tripped over a rock I and as I fell I moved my arms to cover my face.
I landed on the floor face first, but my arms were in the way to protect me, I was sliding slightly along the rocky floor. When I eventually stopped I turned my self round so that I was facing up, I was in an immense amount of pain, my arms were covered in gravel and blood, my trousers were totally ripped which exposed my legs that were also covered in blood. The Magnemites managed to evolve fully into a Magneton and began to disperse the excess electric around the room; luckily the lightning barely missed me.
"MAGNETON!" I looked up to see the newly formed Magneton spinning around with joy; I began to stand up even though my legs were shaking heavily and I was in an immense amount of pain. The Magneton stopped spinning and looked at me with all three eyes open "mag... Mag... MAGNETON" the Magneton flew down to me and started to rotate around me repeating the words "Magneton!" I held out my hands and grabbed the steel Pokémon it seemed to look upset. I dodged another bolt of lightning and asked "are you apologising to me?" the Magneton looked deeply into my eyes and nodded its head. I sighed slightly and the Magneton tilted its body slightly,
"Magneton?" it questioned me "oh errm I was just wondering if you can pull us up onto that ledge over there" I pointed my hand towards the ladder sticking out of the ledge; the Pokémon closed its eyes and started to concentrate very hard "magneeeeeee.." its body started to charge up a lot of electricity "TON!" a spark of electricity flew to the ground and we started to float off the ground.
"I better not let go" I said jokingly to the Magneton, it seemed to chuckle slightly as we started to pick up some speed.
In a matter of moments we landed on the ledge, "thank you Magneton"
"Magneton" it said as it flew off to be with its Magnemite and Magneton friends, I let out another sigh and looked down the hole in the ground. "I didn't think that it would be this big" I gulped and grabbed the ladder and started my painful descent.
...
After finally reaching the lower floor I collapsed onto the ground to catch my breath, "dear Arceus I hope I don't have another descend like that again" while sitting down I heard numerous loud bangs, like pieces of metal being crashed together. I got back up when my breath returned; I walked down some stone stairs into the main area of this part of the cavern. To my surprise there was a river inside the room which looked uninhabited. The cause of the loud metal bangs was Metangs ramming into each other uncontrollably, "perhaps this is the work of the magnetic disturbances." I thought to myself what surprised me the most was that the Magnetons were not affected this badly but the Metangs were.
I scratched my head as to think why the Metangs are out of control yet the Magneton and Magnemites weren't, in the centre part of the river on an island laid a Metagross sleeping deeply. "That Metagross must be a heavy sleeper if this noise doesn't wake it up." I walked towards the edge of the river to see how fast it was flowing. "By the looks of things it seems swimmable for someone like me". I jumped into the water it made my arms and legs sting for a bit but after a while it seemed to stop, I made my way towards the Metagross, it wasn't a long swim perhaps 40 meters at max. I climbed onto the island where the Metagross was, it seemed to have been woken up by the sound of me getting out of the water, and it gave me a tiring look.
"Maybe it wants to know why I am here." I slowly moved towards it, "Hey there I'm just taking a close look to see what you looked like" it gave me a nod and started to get up at a fast pace, I moved back a bit in fear; in return the Metagross gave me a confused look.
However after it got up a loud scream filled the cavern even louder than the Metangs crashing; me and the Metagross looked at each other and I asked it "where did that scream come from?" it turned towards another cave entrance at the opposite end of the river. "Over there?" it nodded at me, "Ok thanks. I will be coming back later." It nodded once more and curled up on the floor to go back to sleep, meanwhile I walked towards the river's edge; I jumped in and the waters painful sting hit me again.
It didn't take me long to reach the other side, the cave looked dimly lit, "well time to find out where that scream came from." I sighed once more and started to walk into the next room.
The deeper I walked towards the exit the darker my vision became; the corridor was not very well lit. Over my head I heard a few quiet screeches possibly from the Zubats and Golbats that inhabited Meteor falls at first it did make my jump but eventually I got used to it.
...
I finally reached the end of the corridor but I had a strange smell on me; I placed my hand on my left shoulder where the smell was, it felt sticky, wet and warm. "Eww Zubat drool" I moved my hand to the cave wall to wipe the drool off my hand while I turned my head around to have a look at the room I just arrived in.
Compared to the other rooms in Meteor falls this one was very small, there was a small river that flowed in the middle which separated two platforms, on one side was me and on the other there seemed to be a white haired figure hunched up in a ball. "Hello?" I yelled out towards this figure; it moved its head up and then lowered its head back into its legs. "HELLO?" I yelled for a second time however there was no response or movement.
I let out another sigh and just stood watching the figure, it didn't move at all. I began to walk towards the river but after my first step I felt a familiar yet stronger disturbance from when I was outside; I was being watched by something and it's now close to me. I continued to walk over to the river cautiously moving my head side to side slowly to see if I was going to be able to spot who or what is following me. "I am coming over ok?" the whiteness from the figure started to closely resemble very long hair and the figure looked like a person.
I got into the water and started to swim once again to the other side it wasn't a long distance. The closer I got to the other side the more the figure started to look more human, I noticed the arms, hands, feet and even its clothing. When I reached the other side of the river I could hear a faint cry coming from that person. "Please... leave." The voice sounded soft and gentle, I came to an assumption that this person is a young girl possibly a little bit younger than me.
As I climbed out of the water, I was getting really nervous, the young girl kept on saying "please... leave." over and over; I started to walk much slower than usual. After about three steps I came to a stop and asked her "who are you? What is your name? Why are you here?" I felt the presence again but it was much closer,
"Please... leave or daddy will." She moved her head upwards; I caught a glimpse of her eye colour; ruby red. Before I got a chance to look at her face she covered it by her long white hair. I walked another step but I felt a strange force over power me, I was stood frozen where I was,
"Who is your da." At that moment a shadowy figure rushed in between me and the younger girl dust covered my face so I was unable to tell who or what was standing In front of me.
"Daddy you're back" the girl said in a lighter voice, when the dust faded from my eyes I saw a Salamance, its teeth bared and its eyes glaring straight into mine. "Wait that Pokémon is your dad?"
"Yep." I was surprised; I have never seen or heard of a half human half pokémon before.
"I ... better go I ... guess" I was really nervous my speech was messed up and I was unable to move because of Salamance glaring at me. I gulped I tried to take a step back away them but I was shaking; this movement seemed to only anger the Salamance more, he lifted his head back and straightened its neck like it was about to attack me. He opened his mouth and let out a huge roar, I collapsed onto the ground in fear, tears began to form in my eyes, I was so scared and I didn't know what to do.
When he stopped roaring he stared back into my eyes again but more viciously than before, I slowly got back onto my feet while the Salamance and the girl watched me. My balance wasn't very good because of how afraid I was, in fact I was able to contain it and I started to back away quickly. But I did something terribly wrong; I moved my left hand down to my belt to see if there was anything I could use to calm me down. Salamance must have thought I was about to throw a Pokéball at him or his daughter and started to gather some sort of green energy on the inside of its mouth which had sparks coming out of it. It was Dragonbreath. I panicked I was about to get hit with a strong dragon attack so I started to walk backwards much quicker towards the river's edge but it was too late.
The Salamance released the green energy attack and landed a direct hit on my body, "ARRGGHH!" I was in an extreme amount of pain all I could do was scream and hope that somebody would come to help me, to save me, but I was alone. Seconds after the attack started it stopped, I couldn't feel anything, I couldn't move, I could only breath heavily; this feeling felt similar like I had experienced it before. In a few seconds I remembered where this feeling had come from; I collapsed three years ago due to Team Rocket attacking me and my parents and I was hit by a hyper beam. My body gave in and I started to fall backwards, "h-h-help m..." my vision faded and I felt my body slam into the water, into the abyss...
