Chapter 1- Bored to Death

Fight, win and collect cash. Life was so boring for this young lad that he felt like he'd fall into depression. Why? Because this was a daily routine and it was irritating him no end. It was about time somebody gave him that cold taste of defeat that he always wanted and nobody did, due to overconfidence or plain incompetence. He was so bored, he started making blackouts far too often, depriving his dear subjects of the energy of their basic life. Finally things got out of control and he was revolted against' but what did he care? Of course that was how he felt until Cynthia sent him a yellow card stating if he did this anymore, he'd get the pink slip. Of course, he'd be glad; but this was his only way of earning decent money. A mechanic; job would be useless at the moment.

Finally, sick of winning too often, he just dropped the badge on the floor and walked out. Packing a few things, he kept walking without stopping. He wanted out of his monotones life and that was that; no trainers, no fighting, no morns and no gym. That was his new life.

"About time." He thought. "Mum often berated me for my lack of adventure." People would initially worry that their leader was forsaking them, but this time, they did nothing. Rather, they rejoiced. Finally, no more blackouts and a normal life! So much so they arranged a big party to celebrate his leaving. Not like Volkner really cared about this insulting gesture. He was just more interested about getting out of there.

He was planning to leave his Pokémon behind too, but he felt a little too close to them and took them along. Tied of walking, he sat at the edge of a cliff and unravelled his things. Then, leaving his other rags on the floor, he went to a hard tree and banged his head on the trunk. "Damn! Why is my life such a pathetic bore? Flint and the others are having a blast while I'm stuck here in this stinking gym just sagging like a wet mattress! My life sucks, I hate this!" he screamed furiously. Surely he was going to get into depression if he didn't act quickly.

Then, tried he sat at the edge and stared punitively at the flowers. "Okay, fuchsia coloured and four petals... lame!" he muttered and threw it away. The cliff overlooked the water and he hated swimming, else he'd have just dropped down and had a swim or done something stupid like this at night time. Until of course, he got bored and fell asleep.

Suddenly, he heard a piercing yell which made him jump out of his skin. "The heck?! Who screamed!" he yelled and saw his sleeping Luxray okay, which relieved him. Then he saw a strange feminine figure at the edge of a neighbouring cliff preparing to jump in. "What was she doing?" he wondered. Then he shrugged it off. "What do I care?" he wondered and then just chilled until he couldn't take it anymore and raced over to her, but it was too late. What exactly was going on?...
