Story Arc Ep. 1
"From the great creator, Helix, himself came a boy by the name of Seth. His legend starts in a humble town of Johto, in which a world of grand opportunities awaits our young hero."
Seth awakens with a sudden gasp as he jerks up and looks towards the ringing alarm. "Shit... I'm late as hell." He slowly grumbles as he clumsily walks to the bathroom to take a shower. There are no towels... He walks to his closet wet and naked but, most importantly about to pass out. "Where is it?!" He sifts through the closet to find his favorite shirt, a special limited edition Slowbro T-shirt. "Ah... Found it." He slips on the T-shirt and dresses himself in jeans and converse shoes. "Maybe I should call Ethan and Tanner... They could tell the professor that I'm on my way." He calls Tanner... Beep... Beep... Beep... Beep... No answer. "Hm. Maybe he's late too." He calls Ethan... Beep... Beep... Beep... Beep... Again no answer. "I should probably just hurry and get to the lab." He drives over to the lab and parks outside. He notices a broken window and starts to panic. With a brisk pace he opens the doors to the lab to see an Tanner, and Ethan unconscious. "Shit..." A man in black stands in the corner whispering and giggling to himself. "Hehe... I've been waiting for you..." He laughs maniacally, "The others warned me of your strength... However I'm quite underwhelmed, I must say." He laughs again but more crazy and uncontrolled. "Prepare to die!" His voice less shriveled and more wild animal, grizzly. "Duck..." Tanner squeaks with a pant. He ducks down and grabs a pokéball from the table. "Shit! Ok let's see who we got!" Seth throws the pokéball and it releases Totodile. "Use Crunch!" Totodile clamps onto the attackers arm grinds his teeth. "Gaaaaaaaaahhhhh, my arm! You damn brat I'll kill you for this!" His voice now back to the shriveled insane whisper. "Get outta here, ya creep!" Tanner yells, suddenly conscious. The broken man throws down a smoke bomb and he disappears with a white flash. Seth runs to Tanner's side. He's bleeding from his lower torso! "It's ok man... You're gonna be alright." Tanner gasps in pain as Seth presses against the wound. "How long have you been here?" He asks worried. "Fuck! Maybe... An hour or two." Tanner pants and turns to Ethan, "He's alright but he's definitely injured. We may need to go to the hospital and get seen." Seth looks around and then reaches for his phone. He dials a number... Beep... Beep... "Hello? Seth?" He sighs in relief, "Hey, Mom the meeting didn't go as planned... Unfortunately, Tanner is near death, Ethan is knocked out, and the professor is gone." He pauses and she sighs, "Well Seth, I suppose I'll be right there." She hangs up. Tanner and Seth sigh in relief. "She's on her way. By the way, where did the professor go?" Seth beams and relaxes, "A guy just busted into the lab talking about... You of all people. He kept yelling about how you had to die. I tried to fight him but, he was too strong. He didn'te even need a Pokémon." He pauses taking a hesitated breath, "The professor was taken by some other younger guy. I'm gonna kill them for this." Seth stands up to now greet his new companion. The Totodile stands still looking at it's new trainer, blood on its fangs and it's smiling. "I'll call you Killer Croc." Seth tells the tiny blood covered reptile. It nods and smiles bigger. "Well once Ethan's on his feet and I'm all bandaged up we should head to Karum City for our first badge." Tanner sighs, "Yeah we should... But we have to be healthy for that and Ethan has to be awake."
