Pokémon Nexus Disconnect
Prologue: Our World Reborn And a Friendship Made
I never would have imagined that it was possible, I was standing in front of the Elite Four, and I had gotten the 8 badges needed to enter. It was Ludacris to think that it happened but that day so long ago our world changed. But I'm getting ahead of myself aren't I? I should start at the beginning the day that our reality changed. It was ten years ago in the year 2021, on June Fourth, the day of my sixth birthday. It was like any normal birthday for the most part, we played, sang, ate, and I opened presents.
It wasn't until that night that it happened I woke up in the middle of a night from a dream about my favorite videogame series Pokémon. It had started to rain heavily the sound of thunder booming overhead. I heard a small noise, "Quill." I knew it came from outside, so being the child that I was I went out to see what it was. When I walked onto the front porch I saw something small curled up in the corner.
I quietly walked over to it. It looked up at me, my eyes widened. "This has to be a dream." I thought to myself as I gently reached a hand out to touch the creature's head. I gently placed my hand down, it was real. "Come on let's get you inside." I said gently picking it up. I kept thinking to myself, "I can't believe it. I found and actual Pokémon! A Cyndaquil if I remember correctly" The Pokémon looked up at me, "Cynda?" "Let's get you dried off okay?"
"Quill!" I grin then put a finger to my lips and shhhh him, "We need to be quiet okay?" I take him to the bathroom and dry him off with a towel. As I dry him I notice a wound on his front leg which I bandage clumsily. He moves it testing how it moves, "Quill." "Were you alone out there?" "Quiiilllll." It says in a sad tone. "Then do you want to stay here with me?" "Quill! Quill!" It shouts jumping into me for an odd hug.
I laugh, "Alright then, from now on we're friends okay?" "Quill." It says smiling. "Although I suppose I should give you a nickname huh? How about Keith?" It huffs, "Quill." "Okay then what about, Blake, Vulcan, Sol?" He shakes his head each time. "What about Blaze?" "Quill quill!" It sequels in agreement. "Alright then from now on I'll call you Blaze." I smile and carry him to my room after turning off the light in the bathroom.
I pull the covers over us and fall asleep next to him with a grin plastered on my face, "I've got a Pokémon partner!" That night I dreamt of adventure, and other Pokémon trainers. It was the best dream I can remember to this date. For the next few weeks I kept Blaze hidden playing and feeding him multiple times each day. We grew to be close friends, but an interesting surprise was coming our way.
Roughly half a year after I found Blaze the news was playing an unprecedented story. "This just in from across the world people have been reporting sightings of mysterious creatures, which many believe to be Pokémon from the popular game and anime series of the same name." My Mom and Dad watched the television skeptical of the footage it saw. Suddenly Blaze squealed and raced out of my room rushing to the stairs, tripping on the top step going into a free fall before I moved to catch him. He hit into my chest with a thud sending me back as I curl my arms around him.
"Chris!" My parents scream and rush over fussing over Blaze, and myself. Somehow not freaking out about the fact that I have a Pokémon. Once they finally snapped out of their parental daze they barrage me with a series of questions, which I answer as best I can for a six and a half year old. My mom sighs, "So Blaze has been with your for half a year now?" I nod and she looks at my father, "What do you think Kirito?" She looks at my dad who puts a hand on his chin, closing his eyes thinking.
Finally he opens his eyes, "I think we should let them stay together Amelia. After all they seem to have gotten close in the time they spent together." He smiles and puts his hands in his pockets, "It would be cruel to separate them wouldn't it boys?" "Yeah!" "Quill!" We exclaim in agreement. My mother crosses her arms, "I'm not sure…." I look at Blaze and he walks onto my lap doing a sleeping pose on my lap rubbing his eyes adorably.
"He can stay!" My mother shouts her hands on her cheeks, "He's so adorable~" My father laughs, "Gods Amelia you would bend over backwards for cute things wouldn't you?" She glares daggers at him huffing, "I can't help it he's soooooo cute~" I chuckle, and my stomach growls. My mother giggles, "It sounds like someone is hungry I'll make lunch and we can get to know Blaze better." She walks into the kitchen humming.
My father looks at me, "He is your friend and partner Chris remember that he is not some kind of tool." I blink in confusion before he picks me up carrying me into the kitchen.
Story update:
Hey guys this is the first of many chapters to come in this new story. I have been a huge fan of the Pokémon franchise since I was four years old so I am happy to write a story about it. My first ever Pokémon was actually a Cyndaquil who I named Blaze so this is very near to my heart, and I hope you will enjoy the story as much as I am sure I will as I write it. Also I will be allowing original character submissions for the story. With that said stay well guys and I will see you again next time.
