As Charles ran into the raging inferno hoping to save his parents from their burning demise a black blur shot above him and the last thing Charles saw was a burning beam falling onto him. Charles woke up to bright LED lights shining in his face he turned and noticed the multiple IV's in his arm along with the steady beep of the vitals monitor. Suddenly a pink haired nurse walked into the room and shrieked in surprise as she saw Charles awake. As she took a moment to compose herself Charles curiously asked, "What happened, and where am I?" Nurse Joy replied, "You're at the hospital in Anthian City." She continued, "you took a terrible hit on the head when you were hit by a beam in a burning house." Charles shakily asked a important as he remembered the events that had occurred, "Are my parents and Froakie ok?" She sadly replied, "Your Froakie is ok, your parents… didn't make it out alive."

Earlier that day

"Gotta catch them all, gotta catch them all" Charles awoke to the sound of his alarm clock, blasting the familiar tune that alway woke up to. As Charles got up,got dressed, brushed his teeth, and combed his hair. (Charles was a tall guy with dirty blonde hair that was always spiked into a fohawk. He lives with his parents over the stone shop they own in Chesma Town) He felt like he was missing something really important about this day. As he reached for his poketech and looked at the date, realization hit him as he remembered today was his 16th birthday!

Charles snapped his eyes open and shouted on the top his lungs, "Look out world because Charles Takanori is coming for you!" At what seemed like perfect timing his mother and father burst into the room both of them shouting, "Happy Birthday Son!" Charles ran up to them and gave them the biggest hug in the world. As Charles went downstairs to eat breakfast he pondered about which Pokémon starter he would choose today, he eventually decided to put that thought off and eat his breakfast. A couple minutes later Charles rushed out the door with his parents on his tail as he ran to the backyard and greeted his father's Charizard. "Good morning Blaze!"

Charles said excitedly, Blaze replied, "Char-Char?" Charles quickly realized and explained to Blaze, "I'm getting my first Pokémon today!" Blaze seemed to understand after Charles had said that and knew instantly where they were flying to. Charles parents had suddenly appeared out of the back door and approached Charles and sadly told him, "We just got a shipment of some rare stones from Professor Cypress. We're really sorry Charles we won't be able to see you get your first starter."

Charles looked disappointedly looked at his parents and asked, "Can I take Blaze to Mistis Town?" His Parents replied, "Sure! Least we can do since we're missing you getting your first Pokémon!" Charles eagerly jumped on Blaze and they were off. A few minutes later they had arrived in Mistis Town. As Charles returned Blaze to his Pokeball he rushed towards the entrance of the lab like a shopper on Black Friday. As Charles neared the entrance of the lab he saw something the made his blood run cold it was an Absol with a strange necklace around its neck as quickly as it had appeared the Absol disappeared.

Charles didn't have much time to think about the strange appearance of the disaster Pokémon as he heard a familiar voice behind him. He turned around to face his friend Shane. Shane was a an african-american teen who was 16 years old with a green bandana covering his hair. "Earth to Charles!" Charles suddenly snapped out of his daze and excitedly asked, "How are you Shane?" Shane cooley replied, "Doing just fine, just fine man." There was an awkward silence for a moment, so Charles decided to break the awkward silence by bringing up some conversation, "So what Pokémon are you going to choose?" Shane eagerly replied, "I'm hoping to get a Rowlet, what are you going to get?" Charles sadly replied, "I don't know yet." As Shane opened his mouth to say something he was abruptly cut off by Professor Cypress, "Do you two want a Pokémon or not?" he said his voice full of mirth.

Charles and Shane instantly straightened up and both shouted, "Yes Sir!" in unison. As the friends walked into the lab their jaws dropped to the floor at the massive selection of Pokémon from each region, There were Pokémon from Kanto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Johto, Unova, Kalos, and Alola Regions. Professor Cypress broke the silence saying, "Well we can't wait here forever, so if you're gonna pick a Pokémon choose one." Shane instantly ran to the nearest group of Rowlets, whereas Charles took his time studying and observing each of the Pokémon in the room.

As he skimmed over the large congregation of Pokémon in the room a lone Froakie caught his eye, and Charles instantly knew which Pokémon he would choose as his starter. As Charles slowly walked towards the Froakie staring into its eyes Charles instantly knew there was something special about this Froakie. As the Froakie neared him, he heard a yelp from Professor Cypress as he bolted across the room. He gasped from a loss of breath and wheezed, "Don't touch that Froakie it isn't exactly as friendly as it looks!" Charles gave the professor a hard stare and and coldy said, "I can handle this Froakie." The professor stared at Charles for a moment and replied, "Ok, I just want to warn you that if you get hurt because of this Pokémon, it isn't my fault. I warned you." Charles nodded for a minute and took Froakie's pokeball from the professor and excitedly returned his own Pokémon for the very first time.

He chuckled in glee as he attached the lone pokeball to his belt and retrieved his other 5 empty pokeballs and pokedex from the professor. As he went outside he got a message from his father on his poketech saying, Don't come home get away from Mistis Town and go to your Uncle Rogers house in Flumora City, also you can keep Blaze for the time being. Charles instantly knew something was wrong, and suddenly remembered the appearance of the Absol he encountered earlier.

His face paled and he called Blaze out of his pokeball ignoring his dad's message and flew home. Minutes later he saw the first signs of smoke in the air coming from the general direction of the stone shop he urged Blaze to fly faster as he arrived at the burning building. Charles called out his Froakie and yelled, "Froakie use bubble to stop the flames from spreading any farther!" As the bubbles landed at the surrounding area stopping the fire from damaging other shops, Charles ran into the raging inferno hoping to save his parents from their burning demise. Suddenly a black blur shot above him and the last thing Charles saw was a burning beam falling onto him.
