This first chapter is rated T because of some not so kid friendly scenes. A Pokemon dies. Sorry.
A human. That's what he was. Human. He was asleep, but still, it was clear his heart and soul were pure, unlike most humans. He was just lying there, outside. His clothes were tattered and torn. That's the one. Wipe most of his memories. Keep what's important for his soul to stay pure. Bring him here. Two creatures appeared next to the sleeping human. A blue glow started to wrap around the human, until the human was no longer visible. The glow started to fade away, and the human was gone. The creatures disappeared. It is done.
The human was still asleep, but he was in a different dimension. The two creatures from before were casting a purple beam onto the human, presumably to keep him asleep.
I have found a suitable vessel for the human to take over, A voice boomed, causing the human to stir, but the creatures kept him asleep.
M'lord, please be careful. This human is strong.
Perhaps he is, but I have something to contain his power. A small looplet with a white, diamond shaped crystal in the middle slot appeared on the human's arm.
We will use this. M'lord, may I ask, what is this? One of the creatures asked.
It is a modified looplet. It reduces the human's power, unless needed. The crystal is a Z-Crystal. It will allow the human to use his power true power, if rarely.
M'lord, if I may ask another question, why do we need a human? There was a brief pause, and the two creatures worried they might have gone too far.
My powers are weakening. We need the human to rescue Lunala from whatever evil is sapping my powers.
There was a brief pause. Thank you for answering our questions, M'lord.
There was a long pause of silence.
THE TIME HAS COME! WE MUST TELEPORT THE HUMAN, NOW! GIVE ME YOUR POWERS! Right away, M'lord! The two creatures shot beams of light in all directions, and a bright light appeared around the human.
It kept getting brighter, until it faded away, and the human was gone. Good- grk- job.
M'lord, what's wrong? I have been unable to regain any strength since this evil started sapping my power. Please, help me regain it. I had to use too much to get the human here, let alone make it so nothing will go wrong in his world. Please, lend me some of your power. Yes, M'lord.
This is it. I was dying.
Blood stained the grass around me. Deep wounds were on my stomach. I would be feeling pain, but I couldn't feel anything. I couldn't move, and I couldn't breath.
My life was slowly being taken away from me. I could feel myself disappearing…
I decided to close my eyes, or whatever I was seeing things out of. Just make my final moments peaceful…
Suddenly pain. The pain was back. What was this? Was this the afterlife? Just pain?
I opened my eyes, only to realize there was something, or someone in this body with me.
I tried to move, I could feel my heart beating, so this body was alive, but I couldn't move. In fact, this body seemed to not be mine anymore…
The human woke up. Immediately he noticed that he was in a forest, and his stomach was hurting like crazy. Blood stained the grass around him. 'Is that my blood?' the human wondered, before looking down. He saw blood coming out of his abdomen, and looked away, starting to feel weak and queasy. Then he realized something else. He had paws. Actual paws, not hands. Actually, he had four paws, and four legs. He was furry and soft, aside from the bleeding wound on his stomach. He looked around, trying to ignore the excruciating pain. He saw some water nearby.
Deciding to go over to drink some, the human got to his feet, only to find it very hard and very painful to do so. He stumbled over to the water, and stuck his muzzle into the water, and began to take huge gulps, almost choking. He lifted his head out of the water, and opened his eyes. He looked into the water and saw… Not a human.
The no longer human stumbled back in surprise, before walking over to the water again to look at his face. It was brown and spiky, aside from the black curved stripe that ran across his brown eyes. Why it looked like… "I've been turned into a Pokemon!"
The Zigzagoon frantically scurried around in panic, before collapsing because of the pain in his stomach. "Ugh, this is no dream."
You're right, it isn't. "Gah! Who said that!?" The Zigzagoon yelled, looking around in all directions. I did. You seem to have taken control of my body. I'm surprised I can even communicate with you.
"I took control of your body? Uh, sorry," the Zigzagoon said, lowering his head in shame. All is forgiven; I would have died anyway, the voice told the former human. "Ah, well, the name's Quill," "Quill" said. You have a true name?
Interesting, usually only royalty and such have real names, are you royalty? "E-eh? No, I'm not royalty or anything." Quill said, confused. Really? Then why do you have a name? The voice asked. "Listen, I don't really know what's going on, or why I'm here, but I'm human, not Pokemon,"
There was a brief silence. Let's just assume you are telling the truth, but you are definitely not human right now. In fact, you look like a perfectly normal Zigzagoon to me, other than those wounds. Why, I'd probably mistake you for a feral if you didn't have that looplet on you. The voice said.
"Huh? Looplet?" Quill wondered aloud. Yes, the metal band on your foreleg. Quill looked down at what should be his arm, and a metal band was wrapped tightly around it. A diamond shaped crystal was stuck in it. "What's the crystal?" Quill asked the voice.
I don't know, I want to say it's an emera, but we're not in a mystery dungeon where emeras spawn, The voice said. "Emeras? Mystery Dungeons?" Quill asked. There was a short pause. You really know nothing, do you?
That's the end of chapter 1! Yes yes, I know, it was short, but I just needed a quick, introduction chapter to start off this story.
