This is my first fiction, so please don't flame too bad. This is based on a series of dreams I had and were probably deeply influenced by reading fictions by lordgenesisshadow and infinitywarior (not sure on spelling) as well as many others and I would like to thank them for their fictions up front. Well on with this train wreck. I DO NOT OWN POKEMON
My name is Jack "lil" Marcson, I live in a small town in the Midwest of the united states. In order to reach my house you have to find the middle of nowhere and then go slightly further, with only 3 neighbors within 20 miles I always had a lot of freedom with what I did in the summer time, on this night I decided to go about a quarter of a mile into the forest in my back yard to camp with nothing but my pistol, axe, knife, and a lighter for a fire.
Upon reaching a spot I found suitable to stay the night I gathered some leaves, small sticks and some dead fall to start a fire for the night. Once I had gathered a sufficient amount for the night I made a nest of leaves and kindling but didn't light the fire just yet, cocking the .22 pistol which I had pulled from its shoulder harness I set out in search of dinner. A squirrel or rabbit would do fine, I always enjoyed the taste of wild meat, it was tougher but had more substance and would fill me up faster and last longer than store bought products. I noticed that the sun was getting low, and I also noticed that there were storm clouds gathering but thought nothing of it. Walking quietly I heard a twig snap, instantly freezing I scanned my surroundings. A blur of brown fur scurried up a tree then stopped an looked me in the eye, taking the opportunity I raised my pistol lowering the safety as I did so and pulled the trigger. The squirrel instantly dropped from its point about 15 ft up the tree and about 40 ft away twitching on the ground. Knowing I had hit my mark and ended the rodents life quickly I walked to the animal while I pulled the clip out of my gun and got the round out of the chamber. Slapping the magazine back into the small caliber weapon I put it back into its shoulder holster. I picked the bleeding animal up and headed back to my campsite.
After arriving at my camp I skinned and gutted the small creature burying the entrails and fur to keep the smell from spreading too much, and headed towards a small stream that I knew was only about 200 yards north of where I thought I was. I was slightly off, turns out it was more like 300 yards, but once upon reaching the stream I quickly rinsed any remaining blood off the small carcass and then washed my hands and face. Standing up I took in my reflection which I saw in the water. I was huge for my age, 6' 4" tall, broad, decently muscled, and weighing a total of 320 lbs. Needles to say that coach was pissed when I didn't go for the football team this year. But I did actively participate in a strict weightlifting regiment. Squatting almost 350 and benching well over 260 I was over powered for my age group. I smiled to myself remembering a girl I very much cared about and even loved whom constantly gave me hell for my size. Her name was Mayleen and I had been chasing her for almost four years now. Realizing I had spent a good while daydreaming, I decided to take one last look at my reflection before heading back to camp. I was wearing black combat boots, black cargo shorts, and a grey tank top backwards under a black tank top, on top of that a blue plaid flannel, along with wire frame glasses, two necklaces both made read and black leather, one witch sported a black metal symbol for fire and spirituality, and the other a safety pin with my guitar pick on it, and on top of everything I had my shoulder harness with my pistol under my left arm, and an extra magazine under my right. I sighed and headed back to camp hearing my stomach growl in anticipation of the small meal.
By the time I got back to camp there was almost no sun left so I quickly started my fire, then sharpened a stick with my knife and stuck it though the squirrel carcass, setting it on some rocks to cook by the open flames. It was dark now, and I heard the clap of thunder witch startled me out of my half asleep state I had reached while waiting for my meal to finish. It was too late to go back to the house now so I decided to deal with the rain when it got here. I shrugged it off and checked on my food, which much to my happiness was finished. After I had picked the bone of any meat a human should be able to access and then some I tossed it to the side lazily leaning against a tree. Then another clap of thunder, it was much closer this time, I estimated about 15 minutes until it reached me. I then heard a pack of coyotes howling. Alerted at how close they sounded I grabbed my pistol and cocked it making sure to put the safety on before closing my eyes an trying to nod off. Once again the thunder boomed, and it started to rain, the fire quickly went out and I moved to the dry side of the tree hoping not to get too cold to sleep. Just as I was drifting off I heard lots of noise coming from my left, I shot to my feet and raised my pistol lowering the safety. I started calculating in my head ' I heard at least 13 different howls earlier ' the noise got closer ' I've got 9 rounds in this magazine and 10 in the other' I saw movement in a crack of thunder ' SHIT HERE THEY COME ' I could hear were they were and shot off three rounds, hearing a yelp I listened again. ' ok keep calm, you have 6 rounds left, and then 10 in your extra mag ' I heard more movement switched my aim and fired again ' 5 ' closer so I angled the pistol downward and fired ' 4 ' this time earning a blood curdling crunch and another yelp. Then a series of lightning bolts lit up the area for a solid 10 seconds. I took advantage of the situation. ' FUCK there are at least 15 of them, I've hit two, and that one looks like the alpha ' noticing two downed coyotes and a massive one in the group I fired ' 3 ' again ' two ' again ' 1 ' again, each time hearing angry yelps and growls, all of this in a few seconds of light granted by the storm. I dropped the magazine from my pistol with the touch of a button with my left hand while reaching for the extra to my side, now left in darkness I heard the animals closing in on me as I slapped the extra clip in and chambered the first round, I fired at where I thought the movement was coming from hearing only one yelp in three shots. I panicked ' FUCK THIS IM GONNA DIE ' I fired randomly until I heard only the click of an empty gun I threw it at the sound. ' SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT ' I cussed in my mind. A flash of lighting and I saw the alpha jumping towards me, I looked up at the sky knowing my fate. Then a bolt of lightning came directly at me time slowing down so much I watched it go between my eyes. ' Well that's not how I thought I was going out ' then blackness overtook my senses…
When I awoke I found myself in a bed, with a splitting headache and a beeping sound driving into my skull. I sat up shielding my eyes from the harsh white light that seemed to flood the entire room; there was a couch in the corner, a metal door, and several medical instruments within the room. Wandering how the hell I got to a hospital I reached for a button on the wall that was marked to call a nurse when something I didn't notice laying on the couch moved. Freaked out I hit the button several times on accident hearing the beeping noise increase in speed. The creature on the couch sat up and looked at me. ' I must be going fucking crazy, that can't be what it looks like' I thought to myself taking in the beings child like features. It was what appeared to be a shiny Kirlia. With blue hair, purple horns, and bright blue eyes. Clearly noticing the amount of fear and confusion I was in the little creature smiled softly and walked over to the side of my bed and jumped onto it trying to comfort me. Thoroughly freaked out I jumped off the bed and stumbled across the room tearing off several sensors from under my hospital gown and pulled out an I.V. in panic. Just then the door opens and once again I find myself in awe. 'oh fuck this defiantly proves that I'm crazy' As the nurse walks over to me and grabs my shoulders, looking me in the eye and says
"You are going to be ok. You're in a pokecenter. I'm Nurse Joy and the Kirlia here teleported you here three weeks ago, you've been in a coma". Dumbstruck I just nodded and sat down against the wall and cradled my head in my hands which were now covered in blood from pulling my I.V. Nurse Joy noticed this and grabbed a kit from under the machine that had been making the beeping noises, put something similar to a band aid over the bleeding whole on my wrist and gave me some wet wipes.
I cleaned my hands off thinking 'well I'm probably crazy but in case I'm not I should just pretend to not remember much before now' "Thank you" I said to nurse joy and nodded and smiled at the Kirlia who smiled back to me promptly.
Then "Sorry to scare you" I heard, it sounded sweet, soft, and sad. Looking around completely confused the Kirlia giggled at me. I sighed and asked "Was that you?" towards the Kirlia who quickly nodded.
Nurse Joy looked at me with a surprised look on her face and stated "She must have comunicated with you telepathicly, that means she really trusts you."
I nodded and said "Honestly this is the first time I've even seen a member of the Ralts family. Im just as surprised as you" feeling bad about lieing to her I stood up with my stomach growling. The Kirlia giggled and nurse joy said she would be back with some food for me. I nodded and thanked her, as she left I turned to the Kirlia who stared at me in wonder.
Then hearing the voice in my head again "I read your mind when you were in the coma, and I a lot about you. Please don't get mad at me for intruding on your privacy I cant help it. Sometimes when I sleep it just happens"
Shocked I looked at her and said "If you have all of that information than you know I have no idea how I got here, and that I'm not from this world." She nodded. "Then would you mind expalaining what happened when you teleported me?"
She nodded again and her voice started in my head once more "My parents had been killed by a pack of zigzagzoon during a storm" she started to tear up so I walked over to the bed and tried to comforter her, she grabbed my gown and burried her face in my chest.
Then the voice continued"I was running when I tripped next to a tree, they were about to kill me when the lightning flashed and you appeared up against the tree. Only you seemed to only be half there, I could see though you like you were a ghost. You had some metal thing in your hand that made loud noises, if I remember right you call it a gun." I nodded "but when you shot it the zigzagzoons got killed, you killed 4 of them and the last 2 ran away" 'well so I didn't kill the coyotes but I saved this little creatures life' I thought to myself "Then you through the gun to the side and looked up, lighting stuck you and you became fully visible, and fell to the ground. I knew you saved my life so I wanted to repay you. I knew of the human settlement so I teleported you here. Now your awake and I can thank you." She said as she pulled her head away from my chest and looked me in the eyes. I lost myself in them, they reminded me of Mayleen's.
I shook the memory of her away realizing I would probably never see her again. I stroked her hair and told her "Thank you but you don't owe me anything, I was trying to save myself in my world." "I know, I read your mind remember. But still if that hadn't happened I would be dead so I owe my life to you, I will stay by your side as long as I am able." She declared in my mind taking me back for a second at how declarative the statement was, and how strong her voice got when she made it.
Nurse Joy walked into the room with some kind of juice, a sandwich and a glass of milk for me, and an assortment of berries that she handed to the Kirlia. Declaring that I could leave in an hour and that she had an extra pokeball for the Kirlia if I wanted to take her in. I thanked her for the food and told her I would discuss it with the Kirlia.
As soon as Nurse Joy left "I want to come with you, but I'll need a name. From when you were sleeping I know you like the name Mayleen, could I use that?"
Shocked at the implications at that I realized that if she knew I liked Mayleen she could also know certain fantasies my teenage mind had conjured. I shrugged it off and replied "I guess so, no point on dwelling on those ties now that im here right?" She giggled and nodded, making me smile. We ate our food and waited for Nurse Joy to return. I thought to myself 'Well whooptie frickin do, Im in the goddamn Pokemon universe with a kirlia who saved my life and wants to leave with me, this should be interesting. I bet mom is devastated.' I teared up at the thought and steeled myself numbing my emotions like I had trained myself to do over the years. Now to just wait for Nurse Joy.
Alright that's the end of chapter one, please no flames, however constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated.
