It was an over-cast night as you were walking home from your job. You hated working late hours, it was such a pain to walk home when it got dark. Not to mention it was bitter-cold and windy. You hugged your body and leaned forward as you continued walking through the wind and night. The street lamps stood tall over you as they guided you to the safety of your home. You had quite a bit to think about as you were walking, like what to cook for dinner or what subject to do an assignment on. They were boring thoughts, but the questions needed answers. You stop at the traffic lights, waiting for the familiar green man to appear. But then it occurred to you that there was nothing to wait for. There was no traffic, not even people on the other side of the street. Everyone would probably be at home wrapped up warm in their snuggly beds. You check your watch. Only 8:10pm, there should be people around. You felt the unfamiliar feeling of lonely-ness give you a cold hug as you started walking across the street.

"I'm almost home, just keep going, there is nothing out here that can get you." You whispered to your-self as you quickened your foot-steps.

The wind started getting rough and your hair flapped in your face like a flag. Your hair decided to hate you and completely blocked your vision, and it didn't want to move. Stopping completely, you used both hands to remove the hair from your eyes and you instantly looked forward from instinct. A small silhouette stood where the light couldn't reach and the shadow lays. You couldn't make out what it was, and it was just standing there, facing you.

Is it a small child? Or maybe an animal, no it's standing on two feet. What the hell is it? You thought as you peered into the darkness with curiosity.

"Hello?" You asked quietly, hoping to get its attention.

It didn't move, not a muscle, it was as still as a stuffed animal. This whole situation was creepy and horrible and you hated it. You decide to use the flash-light app on your phone to get a better look at what you were dealing with. The LED light flashed on brightly and you aim the beacon at the mysterious figure. Your breath stopped, your eyes widened and your heart began racing. It wasn't a human or an animal you were dealing with, but, a Pokémon?!
