An Unsettling Vision
Darkness. Darkness as far as the eye can see. All is silent, not even a simple breeze is to be heard.
"Where...am I?" Asked out a voice.
We see a young boy apparently floating downwards into the apparent void of blackness. He is shown to have on a red cap on his head, and his hair is shown to be black in color, blending in with the darkness rather well. He is shown wearing a red shirt, and black bracelets are shown to be placed on his wrists.
He is also shown wearing long blue denim pants, and his shoes are shown to be a combination of red and white. The boy is still shown to be falling ever deeper into the abyss.
"Why am I here? Where am I?" Asked the boy to himself.
After a while, the boy apparently lands on some surface. Hard, almost glasslike. The darkness spreads out in a circular like fashion, and he is shown to be standing on a stained glass like platform.
"Welcome." Cried out another voice. "You have finally come at last."
"Where am I?" Asked the boy to the mysterious voice. "Why am I here?"
"The time has come..." Said the voice. "The time has come for Light and Darkness to once again begin it's eternal stuggle."
"What are you talking about?" Asked the boy. "Answer me!"
Suddenly three pillars arise from the ground at the opposite end of the platform.
"What the?" Asked the boy.
On top of one pillar is shown to be a sword. To the pillar to the left, is that of a some sort of staff, which bears a red diamond resting on the top. The right pillar is shown to be bearing some sort of shield. Upon closer inspection, the sword seems to be brand new, with a yellow handle with blue stripes. The shield is shown to have a red outline, and the center of the shield bears the symbol of some sort of lion like creature.
"Presented before you are the powers of the Warrior, the Guardian, and the Mage. You may choose one power to claim as your own, in exchange, you must give up one power in return." Said the voice.
The boy has now clearly given up questioning the current situation. He slowly but surely makes his way to the three pillars, and begins to rub his chin, thinking which power to choose. After a few moments, the boy approaches the pillar with the sword, and picks it up.
"You have selected the power of the Warrior. The power to fight, and to overcome any challenge." Said the voice. "Is this the power you seek?"
"Yes." Says the boy.
"Very well. What power will you give up in exchange?" Asked the voice.
The boy thinks for a moment, and approaches the pillar with the staff.
"The power of the Mage. A power which offers untold amounts of wisdom, and hidden potential. Are you sure you want to be rid of this power?" Asked the voice.
"Y...yeah." Said the boy, hesitantly.
The staff disappears in a flash of light.
"You have selected the power of the Warrior, and have given up the power of the Mage. You have held on to the power of the Guardian. Not a bad choice." Said the voice.
The glass then proceeds to shatter underneath the boy once more is shown falling downward into the black void deep below.
"WAAAH!" Screamed the boy, falling downwards, and eventually disappearing.
A bright flash of light encompasses all of the darkness, and the boy finds himself in a woodland area.
"Ah jeez, my aching head...hey wait a minute, this is Viridian Forest!" Said the boy.
"The strength of your heart shall be determined here." Said the voice.
"What?" Asked The boy.
Suddenly, another boy with spiked brown hair is shown, he is currently wearing a black shirt, around his wrists are purple wristbands, and his eyes are green in color. He is shown wearing a pair of purple pants.
"Green?" Asked the boy.
To the left is that of a girl, she is currently wearing a white hat, a red outline sorrounds the hat, and forms some sort of arc formation at the front. She is shown wearing a blue shirt, with a red skirt, and is shown wearing sandals. She is shown to have blue eyes, and her hair is brown in color.
"Blue?" Asked the boy.
Another girl appears right in front of the boy, she is shown to have blond hair, with sort of a long ponytail in the back. She is shown to be wearing some sort of yellow dress, with a black undershirt. She too, is wearing blue denim pants, with purple boots.
"Yellow?" Asked the boy once more. "What is going on here?"
"What are you afraid of Red?" Asked the boy known as Green.
"What?" Asked the boy, now known as Red.
"It's a simple question. What is it you are afraid of?" Asked Green again.
"Me..nothing." Said Red, confidently.
"Come now. No one is that brave. You are in a safe place, this will be between you and me." Said the voice.
"Uh...well...not being able to protect anyone." Said Red, hesitantly.
"Really? Grow up will you." Said Green, with a smirk on his face.
"Hey!" Yelled Red.
"What is it you want out of life, Red?" Asked the girl, known as Blue.
"Huh? What do I want out of my life?" Asked Red.
"Exactly." Said Blue.
"What's with the questions? Are you guys feeling OK? You're all acting a little bit strange." Said Red, with concern in his voice.
"An answer." Said the voice.
"Well, if I had to pick, I'd say see new sights." Said Red.
"Is that all?" Asked Blue.
"I guess." Said Red.
"What's most important to you?" Asked Yellow.
"Huh?" Asked Red.
"What is most important to you?" Asked Yellow again.
"What's important? This should be obvious to you guys, my friendship with both you guys and my Pokemon." Said Red.
"Not being able to protect anybody...Seeing new sights...friendship." Said the voice. "Your journey shall start in the evening, you will encounter many obstacles in your path, but you will be able to counter them."
Sinister looks on Green's, Blue's, and Yellow's faces.
"What the?" Asked Red.
The forest begins to darken some, as if night begins to coil around the entire area.
"Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh." The three of them begin to laugh menacingly, and the three are soon sorrounded by shadowy pillars.
"Green, Blue, Yellow!" Yelled Red.
The pillars disappear, and Green, Blue and Yellow are replaced by these short, stout, creatures which are black in color. They have glowing yellow eyes,
somewhat sharp claws at the ends of their finger tips. Their feet are flat, large without any discernible digits. Their heads are rounded, with wobbly antennas sticking out on top. The three creatures slowly move in on Red.
"What are these things?" Asked Red. Red then begins to reach for something, and his eyes widen. "Empty!"
All three creatures jump in the air, heading right towards him.
Red jumps back, the sword now appearing in his hand.
"Now you must fight." Said the voice.
The creatures sink into the ground, and begin to rapidly waddle towards him.
One of the creatures jumps out, ready to attack.
"HYAH!" Yelled Red, slashing the sword downward. The creature is sliced in half, and disappears in a puff of black smoke.
The other two creatures jump out at him.
"HYAH!" Yelled Red, slashing the sword again, disposing of the other two creatures.
"Wha...what did I just do?" Said Red, in shock of what he just did.
The wind begins to pick up.
"Ugh, what the?" Said Red, noticing that the wind is rapidly blowing in his direction. The forest grows ever more darker.
"Oblivion is at hand." Shouted out yet another echoing voice. Unlike the first voice, which is calm and soothing in nature, this voice is more echoing,
distorted slightly. This new voice is completely emotionless.
"Another voice?" Asked Red. "Huh?"
Red looks upward, and his eyes widen in surprise.
In the air is shown to be a humanoid figure, his features are hidden by the shadows, save for a specific blue aura the figure naturally gives off. The figure looks downward.
"Gasp." Gasped Red.
The figure's eyes start to glow red. "So, this is the champion of which Light has chosen." Said the figure. "How pathetic."
The figure raises one of it's hands into the air. Sparks of energy, black in color begins to form in his hand. The energy collects and forms into a ball like structure. The ball is black in color, and is now sorrounded by red sparks of energy, and continues to grow larger as time goes on.
Red desperately tries to move himself, but finds himself stuck in his current position. "Why can't I move?" Asked Red. "What's wrong?"
The ball of black and red energy has grown to be about the size of a large aircraft by now.
"All that awaits you, along with the rest of the known universe is the enigma of oblivion. Say goodbye!" Said the figure as he throws the ball towards Red.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Yelled Red.
The ball makes impact with the land, and an explosion spreads out engulfing what seems to be all of Viridian Forest, probably the entire land.
Red is shown once again falling backwards, his eyes now blank in expression.
"Fear not, warrior of Light..." Said the first voice. "With your newfound power, you shall triumph over the forces of Darkness."
"Ugh." Moaned Red. His vision begins to blur.
"You now know what is at stake if you are to fail...now go forward, don't give up now...your journey is only beginning." Said the voice, growing ever more silent.
Red is shown once again falling down into a black void, and he soon fades into the darkness.
We are then thrown into some type of bedroom, and Red wakes up, gasping for air. He bends forward so fast that he bumps his head on some wooden block.
"OW!" Yelled Red. He begins to rub his forehead.
We see that near the bed is a short, chubby rodent like creature near the bed. It is shown to have yellow fur, floppy ears with black tips at the end, brown eyes, and red circles on it's tail. Two brown stripes are shown on it's backside, is is a lightning bolt shaped tail.
"Chu?" Called the rodent like creature, it's call filled with concern.
"Don't worry about it Pika, it was just some weird dream, that's all." Said Red.
"Pika?" Said the creature again.
"Yeah, I'm fine, go back to sleep." Said Red with a smile and gentle voice.
The creature, now known as Pika nods it's head and curls back into a ball. Red falls back, placing his head on a pillow. He stares at the cieling of the room he's in.
"What was that all about?" Thought Red to himself. He closes his eyes, and eventually goes back to sleep with a sigh.
Comment: And thus ends the prologue to what maybe a long, long story. In case you don't know, I'm basing all of the characters personalities on the ones they had in the manga. This is my first attempt at a story like this, so I hope I'm not doing too horribly. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter,
