The Adventure of Tyler
Prologue 1: A Freak Flock
The sun was directly above and it wasn't showing any sign of cooling down. Cracks in the dirt can be seen from the lack of moisture in the ground. Plants are wilting and the only shade around are the scarce but tall thick trees. People and Pokémon are slumped around lazily as the midday summer sun shown down upon them. The heat in the village was making the Pokémon and even the people feel quite unmotivated. There was an exception though, a young ten year old boy by the name of Tyler. He has messy, but tidy brown hair and startling hazel eyes, as well as a natural curiosity toward everything around him. Especially Pokémon.
Tyler has a twin. He is a wavy blonde haired, brown-eyed boy named Jamie. Jamie is a little frail and quiet, but his love for Pokémon rivals anyone. He has a bit of a temperament and it sometimes leads him into trouble. They live in the city of Blackthorn. Blackthorn is the city of dragon masters and is the home of the Kanto/Johto champion, and Tyler and Jamie's cousin, Lance. Jamie and Tyler love watching battles between trainers, especially Lance. Lance visits the town often to train in the sacred Dragons Den. Only the worthy are allowed in. There is where the village elder judges trainers if they are worthy enough to challenge the Elite Four. Lance was the latest person to pass the elder's test. Tyler and Jamie both desperately want to become Pokémon trainers and go off on a journey, but even more, they want to visit the Dragon's Den.
The Dragon's Den is fabled across the world as the birthplace of the original dragon. Tales of monstrous creatures and powerful beings are sprung from legends. Legends of brave men and woman who venture in to tame these legendary beasts and become partners. Little is actually known about it though because few are recognized by elders through the generations and are even fewer brave enough to tread the depths of the cavern.
This is where our story begins.
"Jamie! Hurry up!" yelled Tyler. Both were running after a flock of wild Pidgey.
"I'm trying!" panted the winded boy. Pidgey flew and swooped around the two boys.
"They're taunting us!" shouted Tyler as the Pidgey cooed with laughter. They took flight again and circled Jamie.
"Whoa!" he shouted slightly panicked as the flock drew closer. Tyler ran toward the Pidgey in an attempt to ward them off but the Pidgey flew into a nearby clearing and Tyler bumped into Jamie.
"Ow! Hey, watch it!" shouted Jamie.
"Shhhh" hushed Tyler. "Look at that", as he pointed to a large Pidgeot standing off to the side of the clearing near a cliff side. The Pidgeot was staring at the two boys with intrigue. "Just be quiet and move slowly"
"Easy for you to say", snickered Jamie. Tyler gave him a glare. The two began to move slowly through the flock of roosting Pidgey and closer and closer to the majestic bird. The Pidgeot began to stir and move.
"Stop", mumbled Jamie. The bird began to make its way toward the two kids. It got close to them and then it stopped as a loud bone chilling roar froze everything in its tracks.
"Grraaaaarrghhh!" The birds all flew off in a panic and bumped into the kids.
"Aaahhhhhh!" they both screamed in unison.
"wha?!" Tyler stammered as the Pidgeot grabbed a hold of him and started flying away with him.
"Bro!" shouted Jamie. He chased after the flock until they flew over cliff. "Whooaaaa!" he screamed as he teetered over the edge before regaining his balance.
"Don't worry Tyler I'll save you, somehow." He knew that without any gear or Pokémon, he couldn't do anything. So he went back to the village to seek Lance.
