Me: Hello!

Misty & Ash: HI!

Me: Okay, so this story was inspired by X-Men but of course, the storyline is different.

Paul: Just get it over with.

Dawn: -sticks tongue out at Paul- alecxtheparawhore doesn't own Pokemon or any of the characters in this story except the bunch of OCs.

May's POV

I looked out the window of my beach house in Miami. Upstairs, my brother, Max, I knew that he was admiring the view and not unpacking his things like I told him to.

I was a 19 year-old world famous martial artist and I was on a small break before going back to practicing.

The phone rang and I picked it up as I continued to stare out the glass walls.

"If you're another stalker who found my phone number, I swear I'll kick your ass." I said into the phone but no one answers.

I began to wonder. "Who are you?" I asked.

"Be ready Powerful One, you never know when the worst will happen." The voice on the other end said. The voice was so cold and scratchy that it sent shivers down my spine.

"What the hell are you talking about?" I said into the phone but the person had already hung up.

I heard something break upstairs and a loud scream that sounded like a child's.

"MAX!" I shouted and ran upstairs as fast as I could.

What I saw shocked me. It looked like a werewolf with it's blue veins popping out and it's teeth were menacingly sharp.

I ran into Max room and quickly locked the door before the werewolf could get in. I heard it growl and Max was sprawled up on the floor with fear in his eyes.

I helped him up. "Hide behind the dresser. Now!" I told him and he nodded.

I hid in his closet with the door slightly open so that I could see anything going on outside the closet.

The creature broke the door down and I shut my eyes. Be brave May. I chanted in my head.

I heard Max gasp and the creature had apparently heard it too.

The creature pushed away the dresser, leaving a defenseless Max in front of him.

"Leave him alone!" I cried and came out of the closet.

It looked like it was smirking and slowly walked towards me.

"May!" Max cried but the creature wanted me, not Max.

I closed my eyes and visualized this thing getting sudden cuts and bleeding to death on my floor.

To my surprise, the pain never came. I felt like there was something wet on my shoe and I opened my eyes.

The creature's blue blood was all over the floor and it's body was on the floor, covered in cuts.

Max rushed to me and we both let the tears flow. "It's okay." I told him as I rubbed his back while we hugged.

I heard the sound of a helicopter whirring above us. "What is that?" Max asked me.

"Sounds like a helicopter. Come on." I said and held his hand as we went out the house.

As my boots came in contact with the sand, the helicopter landed.

A woman with her long black hair braided back in a purple cloak came out with a girl that had long blue hair in two yellow barettes who wore a black skirt and baby pink tank top.

"D-dawn?" I said once I got a good look at the girl with blue hair.

"May!" She rushed over and hugged me.

Dawn and I had been friends since 2nd grade. We'd lost track of each other after she'd moved during 9th grade.

"I'm so glad you're okay." She whispered and I hugged her tightly.

The woman in the cloak coughed into her hand and Dawn backed up.

"How you been Max?" Dawn asked him as she crouched down.

"I've been fine. What was that back there?" He questioned her.

Dawn stood up and looked back at the woman. She nodded.

"Call me the Illusionist. Now come." She said and entered the copter.

Dawn gave me a reassuring nod and I held Max hand. We went inside and sat down.

There was a girl with red hair in a side ponytail sitting in the pilot's seat. She had a belt covered in flasks.

"I'll take it from here." The Illusionist told her and she nodded.

The girl sat down beside Dawn and I sat across them, holding Max tightly.

"May, this is Misty. She can turn anything liquid into mist." Dawn told me.

"I wanna see this." I said with crossed arms.

Misty smiled at me and opened a flask on her belt. She put her hand on top of it and removed it. Her fingers started doing a strange motion and the air turned red.

"Out of curiousity, what did you just turn into mist?" I asked her.

"Water with red food coloring. I use it for distractions so that people will think it's blood." Misty answered.

"Wait, can you do anything Dawn?" I turned to her.

"Most people nowadays call me Lady Flame." Dawn said.

"Why?" Max asked her.

Dawn closed her hand into a fist. When she opened it up, there was a beautiful pink flame in her hand.

"I didn't know flames could be pink." I told her.

"And I never knew you could be the Mighty One." She muttered under her breath.

"I didn't quite catch that." I said but she shook her head.

"Nothing." She said with a smile.

"Wait, where are you taking me?" I asked them.

"We're taking you to the Illusionist's mansion." Misty answered as she started controlling the mist and making hearts appear in the air.

"A mansion? Cool!" Max exclaimed with enthusiasm.

"Hold up, you can't take us to a mansion. I'm going to Korea in two days." I told them.

Dawn shook her head. "Not any more."

"So what are you gonna do, keep me prisoner?" My voice was louder and there was anger in my eyes.

"Calm down." Misty said.

"Why should I? I'm supposed to be in my beach house with Max waiting for the sunset to arrive. Instead, I'm here trying to make sense of everything that's happening." I said.

I stood up and Misty opened a flask and turned the liquid in it into mist. Next thing I know, I was on a bed with white sheets and a strange machine.

May: The mist wasn't necessary.

Misty: -shakes head- Uh, yes it was.

Me: Fight one more time and I'll wring both your necks.

May & Misty: WE'LL STOP!

Dawn: About time. We'll be introducing the characters in the next chapter so look forward to it.
