Oh, look! Another story to write in the midst of my main one! But that's okay. Really. I'll be able to work on all of them! Plus, it gives me a chance to take a break from one story line when I grow a little weary of writing it.
Hope its alright. (haven't played pokemon games in a while) The story itself is based on an amalgamation of mainly game elements and what little I remember of the first season I watched as a child.
Read and review please. Anything constructive welcome but please do not be rude.
That said, enjoy the story!
Chapter ONE – The Unknown Dungeon
Primeape can be a nasty breed of Pokemon. They are easily irritated, hard to catch, and have temperamental personalities. It doesn't help when they are so wild that they haven't experienced the presence of a humanoid creature in years. Such is the situation in an unknown dungeon off of Cerulean City. A large group of the beasts had picked up on the strange scent of a foreign creature and were closing in...
It was extremely pale, so much so that it was discernible from the darkness of the cavern walls. On its body was a dark blue suit and upon its back was a long flowing cape. It was crouched down low, unsure of exactly where it was, but completely aware of the beast's presence ready to fight.
"What are you!" It called, deep voice echoing through the cave and making the monster's hairs bristle. They stayed still and gave no reply. The foreign creature called again, "What are you!" It's voice cracked, and once again traveled through the cavern. The head ape grunted and the ones behind him shuffled, making the foreign one step back. It rose its arms across its chest, ready to attack, and at the next sound from the leader it did. A swarm of bat's materialized out of the air and flew forward into the beasts. There were casualties on both sides. The foreigner was agape at the situation, and in fear, took off. The primeape followed.
In the distance was a light; alluring and symbolic. It seemed so close, but in reality was so far, as the foreigner learned the hard way when a particularly large ape slammed into him.
The lone beast pummeled the foreigner as the others stood around them quietly. The foreigner tried to fight back but was barely able to lift its limbs. Memories of another world fleeted through its head as it thought it was about to die.
Silence. Slowly it opened its eyes to see the creature that had been attacking it pinned to a cavern wall by apparently nothing. The foreigner sat up, wary of the creatures around it, and turned around. Before it's eyes was a creature different than the apes. It was tall, feline like, and carried about it a strange, powerful aura. Its left arm was extended in the direction of the ape. When it closed its hand the creature fell to the ground. Dead?
"Who are you?" The voice seemed to be everywhere, yet the strange creature's mouth had never moved. The foreigner was uneasy. It risked speaking.
"What are you…?"
The strange creature laughed at the question.
"I am Mewtwo, the ruler of this cavern. Who are you?" It answered with patience.
"Vamdemon."
"I want a NAME, not an ALIAS! Speak human, or suffer!" It growled and raised its arm threateningly.
"That is my name, and I am not human." He hissed, pulling himself off the ground.
Mewtwo's eyes narrowed as he levitated forward. "What you insinuate if you say you are not human is that you are a pokemon, but those creature's names don't end in 'mon'. Don't play games with me."
"Then I must not be one of those either." Vamdemon said, stepping back and extending an arm as Mewtwo had before.
The creature laughed again. "What do you expect to do to me? Pathetic." The creature sneered. "Your kind are all the same! You feel you have the right to do as you please. Feel that you are allowed to do what you want, when you want. You are just a bunch of self-centered bastards bent on sucking the life blood from us for personal gain!"
Suddenly the creature found itself against the wall. Now Vamdemon levitated forward, eyes narrowed and shooting a deadly glare at the creature.
"You ought' to watch what you say around a monster you know nothing about, else you may find yourself in a dire situation. I've done nothing to you, or any of these blasted beasts that reside here, and I'm thanked by being mauled! As for the last comment... I've no idea what the blasted humans have done to you but they haven't been perfect little angels to my 'kind' as you put it either. I have a feeling you were referring to the pathetic mortals as life-blood sucking, but I can show you how accustomed to it I am myself?" He hissed angrily, sharp teeth visible through his parted lips.
Mewtwo was taken aback. So sure it was this stranger was a human hell bent on catching it that it hadn't considered the possibility of a species that wasn't human, and especially one that wasn't a pokemon either. No, that fact he did not doubt any more. It's psychic powers alone proved that he wasn't human and its cognitive processes provided truth that it was far more advanced than any known pokemon species.
"It's been a long time since I've been pitted against an adversary as powerful as myself." Mewtwo said quietly. "For that you've earned my respect."
"I don't want it." Vamdemon said, lowering his arm and allowing Mewtwo to drop to the ground.
"Shall I escort you out?" It asked.
"No need, I can find the way myself."
"It is dark as the night sky in this cavern... How can that be?"
The question was not answered. Vamdemon had begun walking towards the faint light he had seen before, ignoring a dull ache that was slowly creeping throughout his body. Mewtwo followed him, choosing to walk instead of levitate, explaining that it did not want to see him harmed again by other creatures. To its amazement, Vamdemon made it to the entrance without troubles, navigating the cavern and avoiding the pitfalls better than even it could.
"Where do you intend to go?"
"Home." Vamdemon said harshly.
"How do you expect to get there?" Mewtwo wondered. "You say you are not a Pokemon, and you are not human, and those are the only species that exist here."
"I was able to go from my world to a completely different one through use of magical spells and key cards. I'm sure there is a similar way on this planet."
"You will not be safe out there."
"You mistook me for a human, I'm sure they will as well."
"I'm not only speaking of humans, but Pokemon as well. Primeape are dangerous, but there are others that are much more-"
"Why does it matter?" Vamdemon turned around and forced ice blue eyes upon it. "A few moments ago you wouldn't have cared if I died. I am sure you would've done it yourself."
Mewtwo was quiet for a moment, then turned around as well.
"I will leave you alone then." It said slowly. "But do not come rushing back when you find that you indeed cannot survive on your own out there."
Vamdemon shook his head in aggravation and stepped outside of the cave and into the light of the new world.
