DISCLAIMER: I do not own Pokemon!
Harvic smiled as he felt a figure cuddle up next to him in the bed of the pokecenter, he looked down at the Gardevoir that nuzzled against his arm like it was a pillow. Angela, she was his first pokemon, and she had saved him from certain death in such a strange new world for him. Harvic laid his head back on his pillow and thought back to that time.
Harvic walked down the same winding dirt trail that lead through the forest for the fifth time that day, counting the rocks that were exposed in the dirt.
He had liked walking in the woods; any way to get out of the house and away from his parents was a win for him.
The trail lead him to an opening in the trees, he normally drew, and painted here. Looking around, he decided to lie in the grass and look up at the stars.
Getting on the ground slowly, he closed his eyes and imagined a sky filled with stars, before opening his eyes.
To his surprise, all he saw were dark and heavy clouds above, he could see that rain was not far away.
Just as he was wondering how much time he had until it started, a raindrop fell and landed on his forehead, causing him to chuckle.
He closed his eyes and let his thoughts wander, and before soon the sprinkle turned to a downpour. He simply lied in the opening for what seemed like an eternity before his thoughts were disrupted by a near lightning strike that lit up the sky, appearing as a flash to him with his eyes closed.
Soon following after the lightning, came thunder that cracked in the sky. Harvic shivered as he felt the cold grip of the wind grab him. Suddenly he found his thoughts drag to the subject of lightning.
-How much of a chance do I have to be struck by lightning? Maybe I can finally leave this place if I would just get hit. I heard that lying on the ground near trees is supposed to be the most likely dangerous place to be, yet I lie here, untouched-
Suddenly the dark of the sky was replaced with a flash of light, causing Harvic to jump slightly, before sighing and relaxing once again.
As the thunder that followed sounded in the sky, Harvic got the strange feeling that he was being watched. Opening his eyes and giving the opening a brief look-around he found the nearby ground was sizzling and smoke arose from it.
-Jeez, that hit a bit too close for comfort- He thought to himself.
Thinking it may be best to head home, he slowly got to his feet and put his hood up, the first step he took was his last, as his foot slid in the mud causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground, arms flailing.
"Agh… crap." He grunted as he attempted to pick himself off of the ground, only resulting in him sliding forward back into the mud. "Seriously, I might as well just lay here soaking wet, what else can hap…" His words were torn from him as his vision turned to a complete blinding white and he felt a strange feeling overcome his body.
Was this death? He felt his soul pull away from his body, or at least that was the only way he could describe it. He felt like his consciousness was being moved elsewhere, but felt nothing of his body anymore.
It felt like he was sleeping or dreaming, but he wasn't sure.
After what felt like an eternity, he felt his senses return to him and he tried to open his eyes, but was only greeted by bright white lights. He squinted his eyes and let them adjust to the new light.
"Oh, look he's awake!" He heard a female voice sound from his right.
"Chan… Chansey!" He heard a strange voice resonate from his left before his eyes finally adjusted to the light in the room.
It looked like he was in a hospital, though the room seemed smaller, he looked to his right and saw a smiling woman wearing a nurse cap and nurse gown.
The woman smiled before speaking, "Welcome back to the land of the living!" the woman exclaimed.
"Chan chansey chan!" He heard that strange voice again, he turned his head to the left and was greeted by a strange looking being, yet it looked so familiar.
He stared at it for a moment, trying to place it in his mind before it snapped.
"Tha-That's a… Tha…" he tried to speak but he felt a strange feeling arise in him, it felt like a mixture of fear, and surprise.
"Are you alright sir?" is all he heard before he blacked out.
Awaking several minutes later, he opened his eyes and instinctively looked to his left right away, to find nothing there.
"I told Chansey to go check on the other patients, in case you awoke again; you seemed almost scared by her."
Harvic turned his attention to the concerned nurse to his right and tried to put words together.
"Tha-Thawasapokemon!" He spoke his words quickly to the point where it sounded like a jumbled sentence.
It took the nurse a second to decipher what he had said, before she replied, "Of course, every Pokecenter has a Chansey to help take care of the pokemon!"
Harvic was dumfounded, he thought things over for a few minutes before he was able to reclaim his composure.
"So… where… am I exactly?" He asked obviously confused.
"You're in Asder city of course!" She replied, furthering his look of confusion.
"Never heard of it."
"It's part of the Xendar region." The nurse explained
"Wait… region… pokecenter… pokemon… but, that's only a video game isn't it" he mainly said to himself as the nurse looked at him confused. He thought to himself for a few minutes before the nurse spoke once again.
"You were found on the side of route 8 by a Kirlia, who came and told us about you, luckily we got you back here in time, we believe you were struck by lightning, even though there hasn't been a storm around here for days."
Suddenly the memories of his last moments in that open clearing shot through his mind. "Lightning!"
The nurse raised her eyebrow before she seemed to remember something. "Ah, the Kirlia that found you has been waiting for a few hours to see how you are doing, do you mind if I let her in?"
Harvic's thoughts returned to his current situation, "Sure, let her in." he said absentmindedly, as he thought on his current situation.
-I'm in the world of pokemon! Woah! I've never heard of the Xendar region before though… but hey! I don't have to put up with my normal life anymore!- His happy thoughts were interrupted when a flash of green and white went past his vision and stopped moving on his stomach.
Letting his eyes focus, he soon found himself looking at a Kirlia, her eyes watered and she seemed to be tearing up before she jumped forward and latched her arms around his neck in a hug, startling him slightly.
Slowly he hugged her back before she pulled away and put her hands to his temples, Harvic sat confused, but did not try to stop her as she did.
Suddenly he felt himself overcome with emotion and thoughts that didn't seem to belong to him, Anxiety and hope filled him as he tried to think clearly and a light female voice pitched in his head.
I'm so glad you're okay, I thought you were dead! The voice startled him even more and he looked to the Kirlia who had removed her hands from his temples.
"Did you just talk in my mind?" He asked curiously, her reply was a short nod.
The nurse cut in from the sidelines, she was smiling at the sight. "Yes, members of the ralt's evolutionary chain can use telepathy to speak to people, that's how I was told about you being on the side of the road."
"Wow, so you saved me huh?" Harvic returned is attention back to the Kirlia who still stood on his stomach.
She seemed to go into deep thought for a moment before replying in his mind once again.
I guess so! She seemed to radiate joy, causing him to smile.
Harvic turned his attention back to the nurse, "So, can I head out now or?" The nurse seemed to go into deep thought for a second before making a decision.
"You can head out, but I suggest you get a checkup at the next pokecenter you visit, alright?"
"Will do."
Harvic turned his attention back to his savior. "Thanks for saving me, I don't know what I'll do now, but I guess I'd better get going."
The Kirlia seemed to become depressed, and he could feel it.
"You know… if you want, you can come along too." He spoke, turning his attention back to the Kirlia.
He watched, and felt at the Kirlia jumped up and down on his stomach excitedly, radiating joy once again.
"I'll take that as a yes."
Suddenly the voice of the nurse cut in, it seemed she had left and just came back, "I thought you might, so I brought you this." She walked over to Harvic and handed him a red and white ball with a button on what he supposed was the center of it. It took him a second to realize what he was holding.
"Oh, that's great thanks!" Before he could really get a look at it, the Kirlia pushed the button on the Pokeball and was sucked into it by a beam of red light.
After a few seconds of slight rocking, the ball went still and he pressed the button, releasing the Kirlia once again, though this time on the floor next to the bed, as he finally decided to get up from the Pokecenter's treatment bed.
The Kirlia looked up at him before a voice chimed in his head, Please don't keep me in there, I don't like it. "Alright, sure." He replied out loud before looking down at himself, he was wearing a hospital gown, he looked up at the nurse, and as if she had read his mind she held out his clothes, they were folded and surprisingly clean.
"I cleaned your clothes for you, if you don't mind" She explained at his confusion.
"I don't mind, that was very kind of you in fact, thank you." Harvic replied as he walked into nearby restroom and changed.
When he finished, he looked at himself in the mirror, his short brown hair was a bit longer than the unkempt 5 o' clock shadow he had. He wore his dark black jeans and white T-shirt, a black pendulum hung at his neck.
When he was done examining himself, he walked out of the restroom and smiled at the awaiting Kirlia before a thought occurred to him.
"You'll need a name won't you?" The Kirlia smiled and nodded, "So what do you want to be named?" I don't know, you pick! Her voice chimed in his head. He chuckled and thought for a moment. "How's Angela? huh?" He watched as she jumped for joy and nodded ecstatically.
"Alright Angela, ready to head on out then?"
She nodded and the both of them walked out of the pokecenter into the Pokemon city of Asder.
He smiled as he recalled the memory, before his thoughts went to his other pokemon, he always let them out of their pokeballs to rest for the night, he turned his head and looked around the room.
He spotted a dark shadow huddled comfortably in the corner of the room, huddled in the spare sheets provided for the room, Angelica his Gothorita, she always liked sleeping like that for some reason unknown to him, maybe it was really that comfy. He was given her as an egg from a complete stranger a few months back.
His attention was moved to his right side as he felt a slight nudge at his side. Joey his Zorua was curled up on the bed next to him sleeping soundly. He found the Zorua hurt badly in the forest near route 12 and Pentra town.
He saw another dark blob on the ground near his bed and took a moment to realize it was Jeremy, his pignite, who he caught some time back in the tall grass.
He knew that Penny, his frillish was sleeping soundly in her Luxury ball, seeing as there was no water around for her to rest in nicely.
Seeing that everyone was accounted for he sighed in happiness as he felt Angela squeeze his arm again, she must be having an intense dream, he thought to himself before he fell into the shroud of sleep.
Welp, hope you liked it.
