Beginning off in a small place named Firestone Town. Firestone didn't have much going on for it, the only good thing good about it being was how quiet and peaceful it was…. at least until school hours started.
Once school hours began, things would be a little more than noisy. All the kids bragged about what Pokemon they caught or how they won their first battle. No one seemed to mind though, they were just kids being kids.
Yet one of them stood out for different reasons, a boy about the age of 5 who had just begun school. It wasn't his height or the way he dressed but rather the palette of his appearance. While most boys would have brown, black, or even blonde hair he had long ivory hair. His eyes had a crimson glow to them, unlike anything anyone had ever seen before in this town.
He suffered from albinism, making his first day of school less than pleasant. He seemed to have a target on his back the moment he walked into the building.
"Woah, look at him, he looks like a freak!"
"What weird eyes, ew…"
"What a creep!"
Comments like these only made up a fraction of the barrage of insults the kids at school threw at him. The more the boy would hear, the more he wanted to go back home.
Fast forward to a few of years later. The day is cloudy and all the children were in the school yard, either playing with other students or on the equipment. All except for the young boy who had been cornered at the edge of the playground in a field where no one would be able to see him or the events soon to unfold.
"You know the drill Snowball, give me your money and I won't hurt you too bad…" A group of kids that were twice his size grinned viciously at him as their leader made his demands.
"I...I don't have any money…" The boy said, backing into the fence that bordered the edge of the forest. With fear evident in his eyes, he searched for escape options only to come up with nothing. Being the typical school bullies they were, most of them were able to get away with whatever they wanted.
"Yea right, I saw your mum give you some before you left the house this morning," said Connor, one of the smaller boys in the group. With his crooked nose and greasy black hair, it was clear why he had a bone to pick with anyone and everyone.
"B-but I don't-" The boy was cut off.
"Listen Snowball, if you keep lying to us, you're only going to get even more hurt." Another boy chuckled. He stood just a bit taller than Connor and went by the name of Jerry. He seemed to be the pretty boy of the group with his fair blonde hair and azure eyes, always wearing more expensive clothing.
"That's not my name!" The boys voice cracked.
"Ah that's right, your mom named you something stupid, didn't she? I would have named you something more appropriate," The largest of them said with a laugh. David, the goliath of his age group who always managed to get away with bullying the other kids. He headed the group of miscreants while bending the school's rule on letting pokemon out during school hours.
"My name isn't stupid! S-Silver is a cool name! My friends said so…" At this point his tension and fear was getting the better of him. What more could an 8 year old do?
"Grab him, I'm done looking at this puny dork…" David said to the other two. They grinned as they closed in on him, Silver closing his eyes and preparing for the worst.
However….it never came. Confused but a little relieved, he peeked open one of his eyes to see what was going on.
The two of them were wrapped in some sort of strange blue light, preventing them to move.
"W-what's going on? I...can't move!" Jerry said, trying to struggling to free himself to no avail.
"My… Body feels frozen...I can't…" Connor grit his teeth as he felt his muscles tense painfully with any movement he tried to make.
Suddenly, they were pushed to the ground harshly, the blue light around them fading and leaving them fast asleep.
"You idiots! What are you doing?" David yelled before looking at Silver with an growl. "Fine! Shadow, come on out!" He threw his pokeball and his faithful Poochyena lept out.
Silver's eyes widened in fear once again. "Y-you can't use that! I don't have a Pokemon!" He tried to plead as the creature growled.
"Oh? Who's gonna stop me? Certainly not you. Even if you did somehow knock him out…" David laugh. "Shadow use bite!"
The Pokemon growled and snarled before launching itself at him, causing him flinch and close his eyes. Suddenly he heard another sound.
A beam impacted the dark type Pokemon, causing it to fly back and into David. Both fell to the ground with an audible thump, completely knocked out.
Silver opened his eyes and looked over at the two, his mouth slightly opened. He turned to see what had come to his aid, seeing a blue Ralts on the other side of the fence with a cheerful grin.
"Are...you..?" He crouched down to get a closer look when an alarmed voice yelled at him.
"Silver!" The Ralts fled as soon as it heard another approaching. He turned around to see one of the teachers rushing over.
"What did you do? Why are these boys out cold?!" She exclaimed.
"I-it wasn't me! They were about to attack me and a pokemon saved me!" He insisted.
"Pokemon? What Pokemon?" The teacher looked around, David's now fainted Poochyena being the only one in sight. "You're coming with me right now young man, you're in big trouble for this!" She scolded.
"B-but I didn't do anything! It was-" He was cut off when the teacher grabbed his arm and started dragging him to the office.
From that day on, the other students began to distance themselves from him thanks to the rumor that he was the one who took down the bullies without any Pokemon to defend him. People were afraid of him, crushing any hope he had at making any friends.
He visited that spot everyday in hopes he would find that Ralts once again...
And there you have it! I plan to give this a new chapter soon so be sure to stay tuned! Till next time!
