Chapter 1
It was early in the morning on route 7. The wind whispered and the sky was clear. An arcanine named Melody was investigating the rumors of a human that was said to be living on route 7. She started by looking for any tracks in the dirt. She found many different tracks varying from different pokemon, but after an extensive search for a human track she stumbled upon a very odd print. She had never seen a print like this before. It was a large print, but it had been unnaturally weathered. She chose continued her search to see if she could find another print like it. Melody searched for hours and stopped to look up to see how much day light she had left. The sun had reached high noon, but suddenly the entire area became covered in a dense fog. She was shocked at how fast the fog came in and how hot the fog was. To her the temperature was no problem because she was a fire type, but she was worried if there was anybody else who got caught in the fog. She started walking slowly and quietly to see if she could hear if there was anyone nearby.
She heard a loud crack off in the distance. She rushed quickly to find out where it came from. To her surprise she found the exact foot print from earlier right next to a fallen tree, but there was multiple heading away from the tree. The prints were deep in the dirt, with the left print looking as if it was dragged. As she followed the prints she noticed that the fog was getting hotter.
Melody then found herself in the middle of an opening in front of a lone tree. The tree was slightly bigger than the others, but all the other trees grew at least twenty feet from the tree. With the lack of trees blocking the sun she noticed a figure limping with two legs towards the tree in the center. It stood six foot seven feet tall. Melody heard it mumbling something and she began to slowly move closer to hear better. She did not notice a stick on the ground. Crack! The figure immediately looked back and started to limp away faster. With every step it made heavy breathing could be heard. The figure got to the tree before it collapsed on its front. A loud thud could be heard as he dented the ground on which he landed. Melody walked up to the get a clearer view. She was surprised to see it was a young man. He was wearing a strange device around his entire body and looked massively sleep deprived.
"Are you ok?" Melody said in a concerned voice. He just laid there silent. His eyes were locked on Melody, but struggling to keep them open. He gave no response to her and his eyes finally shut. Melody decided to try rolling him onto her back, but he was too heavy for her to move. A voice appeared out of nowhere asking, "What do you want to do with him?" Melody started looking around to see where the voice was coming from, but could not see a single figure. The voice asked again, "What do you want to do with him?" Melody responded, "I need to get him to get him medical attention fast in case he is injured." The fog rapidly became denser. "And after that? What will you do?" the voice said. "I will take care of him of course." Melody replied without haste. "Then I will leave him in your care." The voice said quietly. "Who are you?" Melody asked. "Ask him if you want to know that." The voice said. The fog began to dissipate slowly. The outer trees were now visible. "You should be able to carry him now and I would hurry if I were you." The voice said.
Melody looked back at the man. She tried again to roll him onto her back and was shocked when it took no effort to get him onto her back. It was as if his weight had disappeared almost entirely. But she felt something ooze onto her back. She looked at her back and saw a scarlet red liquid start run down her at the pace of a slowpoke. She rushed to Mistralton City to seek aid.
