Pokémon: Thinking outside the box
Chapter 1: Prologue
My name is Lucidum. It's a strange name, I know, but I don't get to choose. I just call myself Lucy for short
Apparently, I'm a Pokémon. Don't know what that is, but that's what I am
I live within a large box. Its named: 'Jerry: failed'. It says that on the roof. I have no idea what that means.
All my life I've lived in here, and I know it like the back of my hand… or paw, whichever one I have. I've never seen anything else, anywhere else.
Apart from when I first opened my eyes
Backstory
I open my eyes
Darkness
All around me, apart from a small flame in the corner, attached to me, the warmth of the fire licking my scale covered skin
I don't like it
I'll never look at it again
My body is stiff, I try to stretch but I feel walls stopping me from moving much, all around me, in an oval space
I'm encased into a small space
I hate this even more
I want to get out
If I break this wall, I'll be free, won't I?
I push my head against the top
OW! What was that feeling? It hurt
I press my arm against it, it's cracked a bit
Once more
I bang my head against the top, and I hear a cracking sound
A small shard falls onto my lap, light leaking in after it
It hits my stomach to show a creamy yellow skin
It looks ugly
I look back up and push my hand against the roof, the celling cracks, and more light fills in, the walls around me collapse and I'm floating in light
The light blinds me and I'm forced to close my eyes
I hear a ding and before I can do anything, I'm sucked into another encased space, this one more spherical
And then I feel the world around disappear and reappear
I feel sick
Before I can react, once more, I'm taken out of the space, and find myself falling, green below me, I fall faster and faster, scared of my life
The green stuff on the floor gets closer and closer, I get more and more scared, and I close my eyes
Just before I hit the ground, something opens above me, and I slowly flutter down
When my feet touch solid ground, I stumble and fall, not yet able to stand or walk, and I look up
Whatever stopped me from falling is gone
I look around, No one's there
I close my eyes
This is all too much
Where's mummy and daddy?
