Pokémon

Zevisal, the GateKeeper Pokémon

Prologue

It was a stormy night over the Blitz Region, trainers were in Pokémon centers for the night, Pokémon found places that could be unaffected by the danger, and people stayed indoors hoping that they would survive as the dark storm plowed on with harsh winds and pounding rain.

In the beginning, the Blitz Region was a peaceful region as Pokémon and humans lived side by side. The only danger was of the Pokémon Nappers that illegally captured Pokémon to try and take over the region. No one knew that capturing a very rare Pokémon would enrage the Legendary. As the Pokémon Nappers cornered the rare-colored Pokémon, they were unaware of the psychic waves it was sending up Everpeak Mountain until they heard a terrible and furious roar. A shadow unlike anything they've seen before appeared and as it roared a second time, it shrouded the region in a terrible storm. Without proper shelter, some people and Pokémon died from the terrible winds and lightning. Now, once every year, the storm will return and only the Electric Master will be able to calm the GateKeeper.

At the edge of the forest where a small beach littered with houses stood in the path of the terrible storm. Inside one of them was a family of three where two kids were already in bed and the mother stood in the middle of the room, waiting for her husband's return before the storm hit.

"Where are you?" She asked as she stared out the window. "It's almost upon us." There was no hope left in her that her husband would come home ever. "Mommy?" One of the kids asked as she woke up. The child was a girl with black hair that reached her shoulders with a white flower clip on one side and dark gray eyes wore a blue dress with white socks and black slippers.

"Nicole sweetie," Her mother said as she walked over to her now-awake daughter. "What are you doing up?" Even though she had asked the question, she already knew the answer. "When is Daddy coming home?" Nicole asked curiously as her brother slept, unaware of what was happening. "He'll be here in the morning," Her mother said, thinking it was better to keep her daughter's hopes up. "Just go back to sleep." Nicole looked at her mother before nodding and went back to sleep. Her mother turned around and looked through the window before closing her eyes in defeat.

"It has come."

Lightning and wind tore the beach with the small houses on it apart, the GateKeeper's fury echoed as the lightning and struck as the wind as the small village never stood a chance against the destruction of the village. Every life was ripped from each person as they either were killed by falling parts of the houses, slammed harshly and violently into the nearby trees, or drowned by being thrown into the water.

Well, every life but one.

Hours after the storm, in a field far away from the now destroyed village, laid a girl who was just waking up. It was the same girl that asked her mother when her father was coming home. "Mommy? Daddy? Andrew?" She called out to her family, but no one answered back. She looked around and realized that she wasn't at home at all, she was somewhere in the middle of an unfamiliar forest. "I'm all alone..." She whispered as she started to cry, wanting her family more than ever. A bush nearby shook and she looked at it fearfully, hoping it wasn't a hungry Pokémon.

A strange blue-black Pokémon with golden eyes, gold four-pointed stars on its ears and the end of its tail, and golden rings around its front blue paws came out of the bush before collapsing on its side. It was a Shinx, and it was badly injured from either the storm or from something else. "Are you okay little Shinx?" She asked as she walked towards the injured Pokémon. "Are you lost like me- oh you're hurt!"

She found some herbs that could heal injured Pokémon and humans. She remembered them from a book whose title she couldn't remember and started making them into paste to put on the Shinx's wounds. "I'll never leave you little one." She assured it as she was cleaning and covering its wounds. That was the start of a new friendship and partnership between a child and a wild Pokémon.

And that was six years ago.
