Pokemon

Lavender
The world of pokemon has a lot of legends that entail pokemon however, there are some that are about extraordinary humans and their triumphs. One legend my father would always tell me is about the amazing trainer from pallet town named red along with his rival blue. Though one thing I never understood is if red gets Charmander and blue gets Squirtle than who gets Bulbasaur. When I finally asked this question my father didn't answered me. He only looked away seeming to be in deep thought. It was on this very day that he left and never returned. I was 10 when this occurred; now I'm 15 years old. My name is Vincent and, this is my story in the world of pokemon. I live with my mother and, little sister were we run a little pokemon daycare in pallet town. After my father's disappearances they looked up to me as the man of the house. Now that I'm about to leave I can only hope they will be ok without me looking out for them. Laying in bed I ponder all this as this is also the same day my father left. My small room is shrouded in shadows and, silence with only a sliver of light coming from between my window blinds. I can see my desk next to the window along with my dresser on the opposite side. Closing my eyes I could hear the door open in the short time I blinked yet when I looked to my side the door was already shut. Raising my eyebrow I tried sitting up however I found this impossible for there was some sort of weight holding me down on my lap. Looking forward all I could see was the darkness as my eyes tried to adjust. Trying to feel what the weight was I touched something soft and cold close to my leg. As I moved my hand down away from me the soft cold thing got smaller however as a reached further it got bigger and stopped my hand. As my hand reached this I could hear a soft hum come from in front of me. Now I could see a blurry outline of someone in front of me. Although this was strange my sister has done something like this before however this time it was odd because this hum was more sinister than cute.
I tried to say something but a hand placed a finger over my mouth with a "shhhhhh" stopping me; again sounding sinister not at all cute. The figure slowly moved toward my face still just a blurry shadow. My heart started beating faster and faster filling the silence of my room. When the figure's face was inches away from my ear it whispered the words " Today is finally the day." in a seductive and truly evil voice that caused me to shoot up in a cold sweat.
The figure just dissipated in a puff of darkness. Looking around my room I found it was the same with only the little sliver of light coming through the window. Laying my head back down on my pillow I brushed my hand threw my long hair with a sigh. I heard the pitter patter of little feet in my bathroom yet it was still very dark. Looking at my alarm clock I saw it was 9 AM and I was going to leave for the professor's house at 1 PM. With this I swung my legs over the side of my bed and proceeded to my bathroom. The pitter patter of little feet started coming my way as I stopped and tried to figure out what this was. I found this out as the light came on showing a little sister with a toothbrush in her mouth by the light switch. She wore a white dress that came down to her knees. Her hair like mine was white, a family trait, and long. Her purple eyes light up when she turned her head to see me standing in the doorway.
"morning big brother" she said taking out the toothbrush.
"morning Ami, why did you keep the lights off?" I asked grabbing my own toothbrush.
"I didn't want to wake you big brother… you did look like you were having a bad dream." her face filled with concern as her voice trailed off. I simply looked in the mirror thinking while brushing my teeth.
"what the heck was that thing?… it said that this was the day but for what… maybe it…" my thoughts were cut off by Ami tugging on my arm with even more concern on her face. I simply smiled and rubbed her head finishing up with my teeth.
"I'm fine Ami but can you leave so I can take a shower please?" I asked as I started pushing her out the door.
"ok big brother, I'll be waiting down stairs with mommy" with that she closed the door. As I took my shower I tried to clear my head by thinking of my upcoming journey.
"First I'm going to go to the professor to get my starter along with something else he said he made for me. I told him about how the main thing I want to get out of my pokemon journey was to learn more about the bond between pokemon and their trainers. The professor also said I would be accompanied by his niece on my journey so I could look after her for him. I've been friends with her for awhile now sense we live pretty close to one another…." my thoughts were shattered when I felt something very cold and somewhat familiar embrace me from behind.
It's arms raped around my chest slowly leading up to my shoulders. The warm shower did little to the ice cold touch of this thing. As I was frozen in fear it whispered while stroking my hair.
"you will be the one who finally helps me end this forever" I tried with all my might to get away however I could do absolutely nothing.
"don't you want to help me?" the figure's voice started to sound saddened as it's hands let go of my hair and shoulder. To my amazement I felt a little bad for it and started to calm down.
"who are you" I asked. The figure pressed it's self agents my back which led me to confirm it's gender.
"you will find out but first you must help me by coming to the woods after you get your starter, ok?" her voice faded with this question. Her hands cupped my eyes sending me into darkness where all I could see was a colorless figure standing with her back to me.
I started to walk however, I saw my little sister standing beside me with no emotion on her face just looking at me. She also had no color and when I tried to speak she simply said.
"please don't leave me big brother" her voice was filled with such sorrow I tried to move again but the figure spoke.
"don't you want to help me?" I looked at the figure than back to my sister. Now she was looking up at me with tears in her eyes.
"it's so very cold and lonely without you, please take me with you big brother" With that she faded into the darkness. Wiping some tears from my eyes I walked closer to the figure when the professor's niece appeared like my sister.
"Can we please leave this place… I feel so very cold" her words again like my sister were filled with such sorrow I tried to comfort her but than the figure spoke.
"we can't leave yet, there is so much unanswered" with that she faded. Walking again closer to the figure it turned so I could see it's face. All I could see of her face was her nose and mouth for her eyes were blocked by her messy hair. She wore a sinister grin as she looked behind me showing gagged teeth. I turned around to see a massive pile of bodies along with pokemon without color. A strange ghost I couldn't identify floated above with a horrid grin as he looked at me. I spun to see the figure again however this time she was in my face with a wider grin that started to tear the skin bleeding down her face. I fell to the ground with a strange splash. Looking around I saw my bathroom the same like my bedroom however something was written on the mirror with the condensation.
Turning the shower off I took a look at the mirror which read "how do you like the taste of thing to come?" in the letters I could see her again with that same bloody smile upon her face.
