Chapter 1: Strangers to Each Other
Ash Ketchum blindly stumbled through the woods. He didn't know where he was or where his friends were. All he knew was that it was pouring down rain and that he was in pain.
He took three more steps before tripping over a tree root and falling face first into the mud. He tried to keep his eyes open, but it was no use. His throat was tightening and his breathing was limited. What's happening to me? he thought. He began to slip in and out of consciousness.
Suddenly, he heard a sharp intake of breath. He opened his eyes. Running towards him was a rain soaked figure. Was it a Pokemon? No, it was definitely human. A human girl. She ran up to Ash and bent down. An emotion of terror and worry came across her rain drenched face.
That was all Ash saw before he blacked out.
