A/N: Yes I do own all OC's in this story, but sadly I do not own the Pokemon Corporation. This is my first fic, and I ask that reviews be respectful of my story, and your fellow readers. I had some influence from raginazn to starting an account, because their stories were, and still are amazing. Before this story my post name was Some Guy Named Blaze. Posting will be moderate; maybe once or twice a week. Now read on, my friend.

******Chapter 1: Gone******

"I'm Mariah Ross." "And, I am George Harvey signing on for BNN news"

"We're sorry to interrupt your previous program, but we have breaking news." interrupts Mariah briefly, "there has been a mysterious disappearance in Lakeside, California."

"It seems a fourteen year old Caucasian boy wearing grey cargo shorts, a white "Hurley" tee shirt, a green "DC" ball cap, and Adidas shoes has gone missing just this morning." says George perplexed by the situation.

"But it's not the fact that he is missing that boggles many of the investigators on the scene." interjects Mariah, "it is the fact that he literally vanished from the scene before witness' eyes."

"One of our own news crew is down on the scene with what exactly happening at the California residence." states George hurriedly.

A cheery newswoman, obviously an intern, enters the camera's view as she stands before a crime scene adorned with crowds of people.

"Hello, I'm Kelly Bachmen with some witnesses that say they 'saw' the young man disappear."…"Here is Andrew Miguel, one of the few to see this happen, with his side of the story."

A man enters the shot, and though seeming a little shocked, he begins.

"Well thanks for letting me speak, Kelly." says Andrew solemnly, "It was a normal day. This kid was known for being a little introverted, and coming out of the house to practice his soccer skills occasionally. Most of the time he would stay in the house; closed in from others around him. His family claimed to be openly, and was, religious. We knew because the family would occasionally play the Christian Rock station on Pandora. He walked outside of the house taking out the trash, his hair messily thrown about on his head. He slowly walked down the steps, as if to foreshadow the tragedy. And, within seconds his body completely vanished. He literally vanished, and went out with a bang. The only thing left of his body was a scorch-mark, like a star, on the ground where he once stood…"

"Are you saying he was vaporized, like by a death ray from some T.V. show?" jokes Kelly.

"No," says Andrew, a little annoyed now, "He just vanished".

"Well still a mystery as to what caused the 'flash' at this residence but this witness says it was a 'sign from God" says Kelly in an unbelieving tone. "Here is a close friend of the victim who showed up at the scene just minutes ago."

A high school friend of the victim walks up to Kelly, tear stains streaking his freckled face.

"Hey, the name's Josiah Michaels by the way," says the witness matter-of-factly, "He's definitely gone, that's all I really know. But, he couldn't have been taken. He had no bad ties with anyone, but maybe with God." Laments Josiah.

"Are you saying you believe God took him away?" says Kelly as though mocking his religion.

"He did nothing wrong, but I don't see why not." Josiah says quickly now annoyed with the woman.

"I'm just saying that God is not relevant to this situation…" states Kelly before being cut off by Josiah.

"God is never irrelevant! See this is why I asked you not to question my faith. You are ignorant towards God and Him alone. Maybe this is why you're an intern to a News crew; because you can't figure your own life out." says Josiah before storming away in a fit of rage.

"Kelly… I think…you just…got told by a religious high school age student," says Mariah in between fits of laughter.

"No comment," says Kelly in her defense, happy that someone else walks up shortly, "Here comes the investigator we asked to interview earlier."

He was a short chubby man, and probably, the math geek from school. He wore a white lab coat and had the taped "nerd glasses" to complete the look. He spoke slowly.

"We have no evidence as to what happened here, or if the kid is actually missing." said the scientist in short.

"Does that mean this was all a hoax?" asks Kelly excitedly, now actually interested in this field report.

"No, with this many witnesses all saying the same thing, and the scorch-marks actually indicating a combustion of some sort fitting the time slot of when he disappeared, we have to rule this crime scene as a supernatural phenomenon." says the scientist smartly, "Or, in other words… This victim has completely vanished from the face of the Earth."

A/N: Tell me what you think, bad, good, whatever, in the reviews. Oh, but no flames or cussing. And I will be accepting OC names, or ideas from other people. All OC's have to be in by Thursday May 24th, after my finals (early? I know, right!). Then I will be roarin' and ready to go 'till Summer School, a week after the next Monday. Until Thursday, maybe one or two posts with just my OC. Tryin' to post frequently.
