The Reluctant Hero
Chapter 1 : Chosen
Hello, my name is Samuel Shard and this is the story of how I had my life stolen from me... However when one life ends... Another begins.
It was a sunny day in august and because heat was starting to get to me I headed over to the art museum due to its good air conditioning system. I walked into the museum and was immediately blasted with cool air. It made me shiver a little at first but I soon adjusted to it. As I walked up to the front desk I reached into my pocket for my wallet, only to realize it wasn't there. Cursing my horrible luck I tried to sneak by the receptionist to no avail.
"Excuse me young man what do you think you're doing! You have to pay for admission you know!" Said the lady, standing up out of her chair.
I bolted down the hall, ignoring her continuous screaming and I soon became lost in the many halls of the museum.
"I swear I walked past that painting already." I muttered under my breath.
"Hey kid!"
I turned to see a security guard who had somehow gotten behind me without my notice. He attempted to grab but I was to fast. I ran down the hall to my left then I stopped. Dead end.
"F^ck." I cursed angrily, the guard was closing in fast, then I saw a door.
"I don't remember seeing that a minute ago." I looked at the door skeptically. I had to think fast, the guard was getting even closer now... I yanked open the door, ran inside and shut it.
When I looked around... It wasn't in a room at all! It was like I was in another dimension, you know, like on those TV shows where the characters find themselves in a pure white abyss. It was like that except... Different colours kept flashing. First green, then blue and yellow! I turned around, this was too freaky, I'd rather take my chance with the guard. I thought to myself. However, the door was gone.
"Okay, this is kind of freaky." I said hysterically.
~Do not be afraid.~ The voice seemed to emanate from everywhere.
"Who's there!" I shouted into the abyss.
~It is I, Gardevoir~ Then the strangest thing happened, a strange woman with green hair appeared, she seemed familiar...
"Hold on.. Gardivoir? As in.. The Pokemon?" I asked, thinking I was losing it for sure, or maybe that guard just hit me over the head or something... Or its a dream like Alice in wonderland...
~This is not a dream, you, Samuel Shard along with the one who is destined to be your partner have been chosen to be the savior of the world inhabited only by Pokemon. Do you accept?~ The Gardevoir asked.
"No." I said, was this thing crazy? I couldn't save anyone, this was insane! Pokemon weren't even supposed to exist.
~Excuse me?~ It looked angry. ~How could you possibly turn down this offer, it is your destiny!~
"I don't care, I choose my own destiny!" I yelled back at her, then I felt strange, I looked down at my body and it had shifted from human to what I assumed was a Smeargle.
"Aren't you listening! I said no! Change me back and send me home!" I shrieked, becoming frustrated with the creature.
~You have no choice in the matter and neither do I, You're doing this and that's final!~ The creature shot back.
Suddenly I was cold all over, and the world was becoming dark. Before I passed out I heard only one word.
~Sorry...~
