The Legend of the Illusion Pokemon

Chapter 1: A Brand New Journey

Hello everyone I'm here to introduce the first chapter of my first ever fanfic. Let me know what you think. I'm not sure how long I'll keep this up but I'm hoping to be able to complete it. As a heads up, any action or narration that isn't a thought or part of a speech will be in italics. Anyway, let me know what you all think and I might consider doing more. I might not do lemons and if I do it'll be straight or maybe yuri. I'm not comfortable doing or viewing yaoi works so don't expect many or any at all from me. I hope you all enjoy the start of a journey.

A long time ago there once was a Pokemon that was said to have the ability to disguise itself as any Pokemon just by having only seen them once. Legends say that this mysterious Pokemon has long since left this land but one young Braixen believed that they were still around, hiding themselves among the Pokemon surrounding her. The village this young Braixen lived in was a very small village surrounded on one side by mountains that extends parallel to a small stream. She made it her life's goal to find said Pokemon and let the whole world know that they existed. This is why she left the village she called home and traveled started her journey to find this mysterious Pokemon.

*pant... pant...* "My, it seems that this first day has gone by rather quickly. I should rest for the night that way I'm not exhausted tomorrow."

The young Braixen then set herself to the task gathering some fallen branches and limbs from a nearby fallen tree. After using her stick to start the fire she settles down to get some rest.

*sigh* "Not a great beginning to my quest but I have to start somewhere. It's odd being alone for the first time. I hope I come back with having found that Pokemon, although I'm not really sure what they look like."

The Braixen's head snaps up as she hears rustling in the nearby bushes.

"W-who's there," the young Braixen said frightened.

A tall dark figure appears from the bushes.

"It's just me. I happened to see the light from the fire and wanted to check it out."

Braixen looked at the figure with interest, since she had never seen a Pokemon like him before. She cleared her throat and decided to respond to this strange new Pokemon.

"Oh I see, well it's just me. I decided to stop for the night and light this fire. Although, I have seemed to have forgotten food."

The figure rubbed the back of his head with his hand.

"Well, you could come to my home, I have some extra food and you could stay the night incase it rains."

Braixen looked suspiciously at the strange Pokemon's crimson claws.

"How do I know I can trust you? I've only just met you and I don't know anything about you other than that you live near here."

The Pokemon looked shocked and then smiled.

"I guess you can't. If you decide to change your mind your more than welcome to come up. I live a little ways from here. You can't miss the cave, even at night."

With that, the Pokemon walked back into the bushes and disappeared.

~Who was that Pokemon? I've never seen anyone like that before. Could he be the Pokemon that

I've been looking for?~

A few hours pass with storm clouds starting to rumble with the wind going from a gentle breeze to an all out gust.

"Maybe I should have followed that strange Pokemon before the wind picked up. It already looked like it was going to rain, but now this wind is just going to make it worse. I should find some shelter before it starts to pour. I'd rather not have to deal with a cold after just starting my journey."

With that the young Braixen put out her fire and started to hike up into the mountains looking for a place to stay for the night.

I hope you all liked the first chapter of my first fanfic. Reviews and critiques are welcome and I'll gladly read them to help improve the story as much as I can. I'll see you all in the next chapter!
