Prologue: How it Began
The lone yellow-haired girl wandered about the near deserted streets.
It was lunch hour and everyone had gone to eat, except for her.
She had her hair pulled back into a long, flowing ponytail. She was wearing almost indescribable orange-ish clothing with a green outline. She was also wearing gray jeans and purple rain boots. Her clothing looked boyish enough, that if you put a hat on her and hid her yellow hair from view, she could very well pass for a boy.
"Which shop should we try first?" She asked her best companion, a Pikachu with the name Chuchu.
"Chaa," The electric mouse responded, pointing one of its tiny fingers in the direction of an urban-looking store that her trainer had never noticed before.
Letting her curiosity get the best of her, she agreed and scooped Chuchu up into her arms.
"Hello miss," A strange man greeted her as she walked in the store.
The little bell signaling the arrival of a customer rang quietly throughout the incredibly small store.
The man at the counter was wearing a turban and beige robe-like clothing; something never seen in the city of Viridian.
"Hello Mister," She said cheerily, letting Chuchu down, "My name's Yellow," She smiled at him, which he returned gladly.
"That's a very pretty name, Yellow," He said.
"Thank you. I've never noticed this store before," Yellow looked around the small room.
There were colorful rugs, blankets, pillows, and vases of all kinds.
Chuchu seemed uneasy and the little mouse began to mess around with the fragile glass vases.
Yellow flushed in embarrassment, and grabbed Chuchu before she could do any harm, "I'm so sorry!" She quickly apologized for her Pokémon's behavior. "She's not normally like this," She added.
The man laughed a laugh that made a chill run down Yellow's spine, "It's okay," He assured. "I quite like you Yellow, why don't you pick out anything you want?" He offered.
Yellow brightened her expression, "Oh thank you mister! You're very kind," She graciously thanked him.
He chuckled, as she began to look around the tiny store once again.
Yellow kept Chuchu tightly gripped in her arms while she searched the store, and it did nothing to resist.
As Yellow looked at the vases Chuchu had played with earlier, she spotted something that caught her eye in an instant.
"Oh wow," She gasped at the ancient beauty of the item, "This is so beautiful."
"Take it," The man said," I've never been truly fond of that," He added before she could protest.
Yellow could sense that this man wouldn't let her pay for it, so she politely accepted and thanked him before walking out of the store, letting the bell ring out once again.
She let Chuchu down and turned back to the store.
"Oh my gosh!" She almost screamed.
The store had disappeared.
Yellow questioned if there had even been a store, but when she searched through her pocket, she found the item she had been given.
The item was a lamp that could be described as a genie lamp. It was a brass color, but strangely didn't seem the slightest bit damaged or tarnished. And on the top, there was a single, glittering, jewel that looked like a ruby. It was as if someone had been taken care of it for every year it had been around.
Yellow turned away from where the store was before it vanished, and began walking along the route towards Pallet Town, trying to not think much of it.
"Chaa?" Chuchu mumbled to itself, completely bewildered by what had happened to the store, and the strange feeling the lamp gave her.
Maybe, it's magic, the Pokémon thought, letting her trainer hear.
"Magic? Don't be silly," Yellow almost laughed. Almost. She herself had been questioning that same thing.
The electric mouse frowned, and kept a steady walking pace beside her trainer.
Yellow pulled the mysterious lamp out of her large pocket once more, "See Chuchu? There isn't anything weird about this la-"Yellow tripped over a small dip in the pathway, and accidentally let the lamp out of her grasp.
She quickly regained her balance, but wasn't able to reach the lamp before it landed on the dirt path.
"Oh clumsy little me," She scolded herself, while Chuchu giggled quietly at her trainer's stumble.
Yellow picked up the lamp and sighed, "Now it's all dusty."
She began trying to rub off the dirt and dust, and noticed that the lamp was… glowing?
The girl let out a yelp and flung the illuminating lamp into the air, where it stayed, disobeying the laws of physics.
Suddenly, a bright light erupted from the spout of the lamp, and a huge gust of wind caused the dust on the path to rise into the air, creating a thick wall of dirt.
Chuchu and its trainer coughed as they inhaled the pollution.
Yellow opened her eyes after a few moments of being completely blind from the sand in her eye and spotted something.
Or rather, someone.
In less than a second, all the dirt had been blown away, and the hazel-eyed girl saw the figure clearly for the first time, taking her a few seconds to analyze his appearance. The main thing she noticed was the almost unnatural color of his eyes.
It looked as if it was human, but it most definitely was not.
The human figure grinned happily and let out an unusually long yawn, before exclaiming, "Free at last!"
Guess who! I dare you to! I'll give you a cookie if you guess, and TWO cookies if you guess right! :)
Except for my good friend Aqua. You already know. And I'm pretty sure you know who too, my other good friend, pokeperson1000.
Eherm, okay, so I know I'm supposed to be finishing Gone Mute and stuff, but I typed this up, and I got so excited to finally show off my inner weirdness, that I posted it early... D:
I'll finish Gone Mute soon. Promise.
So, hope you enjoyed the incredibly short prologue, and I know there're mistakes...
And remember, I love hearing what any of you have to say. Don't even care if you tell me that I'm too weird for my own good. I'll take it as a compliment.
Love you all~! See ya' next time! ;)
