Into Reality Ch.1 - Night Time Training

The man yells Showtime, and the curtains rise, but as the audience's attention is taken by the play being performed, one would not notice the events occurring behind the performers.

This story begins within another. The story of a 15 year, grueling, agonizing, mental, rejection since birth.

For the past 15 years of this person's life, he has endured a long hardship, and gained a negative experience from his own silence.

15 years of no one to talk to.

15 years of no one to play with.

15 years of no one to speak to...

A person's future mainly depends on the experience he or she has gained during the first few years of their life. But to this individual, it was desperation for a change. A change that could potentially affect others lives as well...

... and it started with a wish... a wish to make a true friend... someone to talk to... someone to be with... someone you could open up to... something that would make our hero feel at ease with himself.

It started with praying... praying every night to the lord in the corner of his dark room... praying every night of every month begging for help...

...and one day... the wish was answered...

After a year has gone by since "The Day of Change", our hero's mind is slowly recovering from the darkness he was cast in. Today, he is friends with two very special beings that have been by his side, there to help whenever the felt he needed it. He has befriended two special creatures that are not known to exist elsewhere on the face of the Human dominated Earth... and there names are Raid the Latios... Latias... the Latias... and my name... is Marlon.

Our story begins about a year after my wish was answered by the gods and I had been blessed with the unique abilities of a Latios. But even with new powers that I would need to protect my new found friends, little did I know... that I was entering a new kind of reality...

Journal entry #25:

It's been 3 weeks into school now and things couldn't be more ... entertaining. Today, Raid, Latias and I are taking refuge at my house, a small orange painted, two story building. The only problem is, they've been kept a secret from my parents since I brought them home, for the first time about a year ago. So far no one suspects anything, it's either that or Raid's been erasing a few memories behind my back. I've had to work with them to keep things running smoothly, from getting them food to spending time with them, and getting to know them better... an experience that we all enjoyed doing.

Date: 8-31-2012 (Friday)

Location: My room

Time: 9:45 p.m.

Situation: Parents left for something a while ago…

"Done, the last assignment is finally done!" I cried as I proudly announced the completion of my weekend homework. "Finally, I get to enjoy my weekend for once instead of doing homework that never seems to stop coming!" Feeling relieved I kicked back and rested my feet next to my laptop on my work table. My room wasn't VERY big but it was big enough to fit 3 Lati's and still have room left over. With one bed in the corner and a bunch of shelves and cabinets all neatly cleaned with books piled on books and a small corner reserved to my collection of model jets, a small closet in another corner full of all the clothes I'll ever need, as well as a wall designated to my drawings and achievements. There were two entrances, one was a transparent glass sliding door into the living area and the other was a standard wooden door leading to a hallway connecting all the rooms of the house.

Latias floated in through the sliding door, in her Lati form with a surprised look, 'What's going on, I heard you scream about something?' "Nothing's wrong, everything's fine, just finished my homework for the week. Now we get to spend more time together this weekend and with Labor Day, we'll have FOUR full days off from school!"

With a red color that spanned over her belly to her wingtips, and a blue triangle located on her chest, she appeared as any other Latias picture you would normally find on a Pokémon card. Although she had no other special powers, besides the ones that suited her natural ability, she was still a great friend and that's all that mattered to me.

'Well that's great to hear, except my brother has plans for you this weekend.' Latias said a bit nervous at announcing the news.

I, obviously showing a bit irritation that there was still working to be done, decided to make the most of training and dismissed my anger, faking a smile in the process. "So what does Raid have in store for me tomorrow?" I asked.

'Actually it's tonight, he's out now looking for something that'll help you get better at your techniques when you're in your Latios form.' At that I got serious, "So far I'm interested, but didn't we agree not to go wandering off alone. The last thing we need is one of us getting taken and treated like animals like the way Latria was," recalling the incident that occurred when Latria was captured and treated as a zoo animal while Brad (a.k.a. Lateon) spent endless time searching for her. 'Yah, Latios took that into mind, he's telling me his location every 3 minutes.'

Although this was an effective tactic, Latias still tried to convince Raid not to go without her but Raid assured her he'd be fine. "Alright, fine."

I of course was still a bit annoyed that Raid just left without telling him but decided to blow off the steam later. "Back to what we were talking about, as long as training doesn't involve me lifting rocks using psychic and dodging Raid's Luster Purges from everywhere I'm happy." I certainly emphasized on Raid's 'special' training. It involved dodging rapid successive attacks from Raid and Latias that came from everywhere within an area Raid calls the 'target zone'...

...or as I like to call it the 'kill zone' as I would stay in the center, without a shield or any form of protection. The goal is to avoid as many attacks as possible within a 5 minute time period while staying within a specific area and not leaving that spot. In previous attempts, I was successful at dodging many attacks, but it was inevitable to evade every single attack. Raid did his best to make the scenario as real as possible to a real battle situation but Latias saw things differently as she gave me small windows of opportunities by 'missing' on purpose. Although I disliked this type of training I did find it sometimes necessary.

'Oh come on, lifting rocks isn't hard.' Latias cheerfully cooed. Eager to spend time with me, Latias tried to get me to comply using what all Latias's do best… beg. Putting her paws together and nudging at my shoulder, Latias made cute little Lati whimpers. "Latias, you know that that's a dangerous thing you're doing right?" Trying to get Latias to stop, I decide to nudge her back...it wasn't a smart move...soon a nudging war began and neither side was letting in on the other.

A few minutes later, after a very (very) awkward reunion, a blue dragon similarly to Latias except with blue where there was red, a red triangle on his chest, a slightly larger body structure, a slightly more tilted back ear design that that of a normal Latios, and finally a different fin structure. Like Latias, Raid didn't have any special powers, mind those that he was born with and were a part of his natural abilities.

Raid flew in through the back door of my empty house and into my room, where he was met with his energetic sister and an unconscious/ TKO'd Marlon. Without spending too much time, Raid had a quick chat with his sister before quickly leaving again, saying that he ready to head out and that he'd be waiting for us so Latias did her part and tries to "revive" me from her unbeatable attack. As Raid made his way out to prepare everything needed for training Latias psychically carries me to the restroom next-door and placed my head by the sink. Letting the water run she grabbed (collected) the water using psychic. Slowly the water built up, gaining volume, as it grew a floating ball of water that appeared to float freely in the air. After collecting a 1-gallon's worth of freezing 40 degree sink water, she dumps it all onto my face.

You can literally picture what comes next...

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Screaming like little girl I began looking around frantically as I tried to regain control of myself "WHAT IN THE NAME OF ARCUES WAS THAT FOR!" (Note that I will sometimes resort to poke-cursing...)

Completely overtaken by the rude awakening and shivering from an unexpected shower, Latias comes over with a towel she found nearby and handed it over. 'Sorry, but you did challenge me to a "nuzzle off" and I wasn't planning on loosing.' Latias said with a bragging tone.

Still shaken up, I quickly gained control over myself and I did what I do best… *Gives the 'Really?' Glare*"

'What, I did win' *Continues starring*

"…"

*awkward silence*

"…"

Eager to change the situation, Latias gave in and got ready to head out. Doing the same I checked my gear and made my way out to be greeted by a Latios smiling in his natural form. 'Well well, you managed to survive Latias's barrage, I commend you for that. I know I'd never win her at that.' Raid looked over to his sister, who immediately turned away blushing from embarrassment.

Raid went back to the subject. 'Don't worry about training today; we'll just be working on your aiming.'

Completely relieved, I got ready for what would be an interesting target practice but was cut off by Raid's additional statement that 'Training will be at about 50,000 feet where the wind is sure to be wild. You'll have to time everything right to hit these targets so what I don't put into my normal training, I make up with a crazy exercise.' *pulls out two Frisbee about two feet in length from a random Target bag*

'You'll have to hit this while nature takes its toll. I've also taken the liberty to add something more to the game tonight and I think you'll enjoy it. It was too big so I couldn't carry it all by myself, but rest assure, it'll be there.' I couldn't catch the rest but I'm sure Raid said something about beating someone down if whatever didn't arrive on time. At this point I was wondering where Raid got all these weird things as he often came home with something "different" in 'paw'. The exercise sounded easy at first but after considering all the factors, I'd soon realized the level of difficulty I'd just been given. While Raid put the Frisbee's into another darker colored bag, I changed into my Latios form and got re-acquainted with my "other side".

In a spectacular flow of energy, my form changed with a flash of light. In moments, I opened my eyes smiling in the body of my other self. Unlike all the other "fancier" versions of Latios and Latias, the only thing different about me was my color, I had the form of a Latios with no added/special side powers but I was brown where there'd normally be blue as I kept the white to my own liking (although not by choice). Unable to speak like Latios or Latias correctly yet, I stuck to using telepathy that Raid and Latias taught me in the past after receiving my powers.

'Alright finally! It's been far too long.' Like checking a jet before takeoff, I checked myself over and reviewed all the basics of flying. Then I checked my powers and made sure everything flowed smoothly.

After getting the 'okay' (in the form of a thumbs up) from Raid, the trio cloaked themselves and began their accent towards the heavens to begin what is to be an interesting nighttime training run...

To be continued next time…


It's the random guy (preferred Marlon) from before ;)... Ahhh, what a wonderful feeling it is when you get to leave humanity's problems behind and be with you friends... It's a feeling that even I can't describe other than... interesting... Well, I did a flight check and my homework's done and I have another 2 hours before bed... no reason why I can't spend some time with Latios and Latias right?... what could possible go wrong ... *coughs* hint hint... ;)

Any constructed criticism would be awesome for mistakes or if you guys and girls liked anything, I could add your ideas in later. If you guys and girls also find mistakes or that their potential for an actual real action packed story please let me know in the comments below. Thanks :)

It's not that hard to create an account and leave a message. Thanks for stopping by :)

DON'T own the idea/theme of Pokémon. I DO HOWEVER own the character Marlon and Raid the Latios and their names I also own the Idea and the theme/name of the Eon Squadron. It's all © by me marcturbo1. Have a nice day ;)
