Chapter 0

Prologue

+=+=+=+ Moscow, Russia – 29km outside the Russian City +=+=+=+

*Huff* *Huff* *Huff*

-'Shit' I say to myself just as some AKM's muzzles pump some more rounds towards me.

-"Move it, you idiots! Don't let that swine get away he has the pride of the mother land on him! Also watch your fire, DON'T HIT THE BRIEFCASE!" Screamed he and his platoon are right on my ass.

*Bang* *Katakaka* *Bang*

-" Argg-ngg!" I screamed into my sleeve as a 7.62x39mm round entered and exited my right shoulder, as I stumbled into a nearby ditch and sat down, looked at this small silver case in my left hand.

-"What the fuck, they said in and out, NOT SOME FUCKIN ARMY CHASING ME!" I scream into the darkness as the rumbling of trucks and BMP's closing in on my small ditch. At this point I'm just staring at my hands and the case; soon I notice some dark warm liquid rolling down my right wrist.

-"Oh yeah I got shot…" I say quietly but the mention of being shot reinitiates the pain and somewhat burning sensation, but something pulls me away from the pain.

-'Open the case, and press the device on the ground.' Says an disembodied voice in my head, I immediately follow the instructions and open the now bloody case, within it is a small pen like device but made of some type of metal that's seems like an advanced alloy. The part the voice spoke of was a three pronged spike made of the same metal but with a weird glowing gem in the middle.

-"Alright Fuck it" I scream as I grab the device and hold it high in the air, before I could plunge it into the ground I was covered in light and the clicking of safety's filled the air.

-"Stop right there you IDIOT! It hasn't been calibrated the location you could end of anywhere!" Screamed one the scientist but he was pushed away by the Lt.

-"You heard the brilliant man don't put yourself in a situation where you be floating in space." Says the Lt. jokingly but with a menacing glare, he continued. "Either way you're dead so wouldn't you rather live a few moments longer, maybe get some pussy before you die or get shot down now attempting to use the device that hasn't even been calibrated." The uneasiness of the situation was horrible for me. Either gets killed in a Russian secret base or teleport into space most probably.

-'Eh Fuck it!' I think as I plunge the device into the ground, I did hear the roar of AKMs and other variants firing at me but none ever hit their mark. I was soon surrounded by bright light and my whole body felt like it was on fire, soon I was on some cool grass and a nice breeze hit my face.

-"The hell?" I mumble out, and notice I'm now in a field beside an beaten down spot in it which I'm assuming is a pathway or road, about thirty yards away was a sign that read 'Route 102 PetalBerg 10km Oldale 14km'. The first thing I think is that the device worked, but wait where the bloody thing.

-"Shit, where is it!?" I whisper but as I go to get up the pain in my right shoulder gets too intense that I collapse back onto the ground. As I look around even more I notice that the device is burnt to a crisp in some spots and heavily charred in others, overall it was completely broken… wait broken isn't good enough Destroyed is the right term. Now the question is where am I? Am I safe here in the middle of the woods? I manage to get into a sitting position and proceed to take off my coat and ripped my sweater into a bandage with a small stick tied into it to keep some pressure but not too much where the rest of my arm will get no circulation.

-" From the looks of it no one is here at night time but possibly during the day someone might come by…" I think out loud. I'm now able to stand and I walk over to the 'device' or what is left of it, kick it around so the pieces are separated then I walk over to a nearby tree coat in hand. I used my coat as a make shift blanket and rest against the tree and shut my eyes with relieve that I had escaped death but now I was stuck where ever I am.

I felt someone pulling on my shirt, then they followed up with some poking except this didn't feel like a finger, well it did but it was way too small for a human hand even if it was a child. I open my eyes with an uneasy feeling but instead of the envisioned giant alien all saw was this light blue and orange creature in a dress? Well it had blue hair and two big horns that are orange with eyes of the same orange with a white grown that feel beyond its legs. It looked at me with curiosity but it turned around and turned back with a panicked look on.

It's then jumped onto my chest but before I could protest 4 wolf like dogs come onto my vision, and they look not really that friendly.

-"ALRIGHT! I get it run right!?" I scream as I get up and run with this small creature in my arms, it only grabbed on tighter and nodded, I jumped over some logs and pull an arm free from the creature clinging to me and pull out my concealed 9mm Walther P99 from my belt holster, I don't want to use it but if I have to I will. With the Creature in my arms and the pack of hungry dogs behind us, we continued to run until we reached a steep hill that I, of course fell down but for some reason the rabid dogs didn't follow us down the hill. During the tumble I grab the creature and drop my handgun order to prevent it from getting hurt.

-"*Pant* holy *Huff* crap." I exhaled and sat down and looked up it was barely sun up, but my trail of thought interrupted by someone grabbing me from behind so I turned and looked to see who was grabbing me it was some guy in a police uniform with some red dog like thing kinda like a chow chow.

-" Umm sir what are you doing in the middle of nowhere, and also why are you injured?" said this man with some intense interest, I made up a blind lie on the spot but also using what just happened to my advantage.

-"Well Claire here," I motion the creature in my hands. "And I were chased by some wolfs and they attacked me." I say lying through my teeth but he seemed to buy it right away for some reason.

-"Oh so that pack of rabid poochyena's chased you this far in the woods it seems, did you come from route 102?" he asks, I nod because that's the only location I know of besides the two cities I saw on that sign.

-"Okay we should get you to PetalBurg we can get you and your Ralts some medical attention." He says as he talks into his radio then appeared another Officer but with some other creature that looked funny it held two spoons, they both proceed to walk up to me.

-"Alright come over here Sir…" she paused and waited for me to fill in the blank. "Kiritsugo Tsubaki." I say as she smiles. "Okay Mister Tsubaki come this way." I follow her instructions' but before I could even ask what was happening we were in some hospital like building except different kinds of creatures are littered around the space with some humans as well.

-"If you'd follow me" She said and began walking away, towards the main desk so I have nothing to do but follow her. As we approached the desk I noticed how the Ralts was shying away from anyone who came near 'Pokemon' and human alike but all it did was cuddle up closer to me. We'd reached the counter and the Officer bid me farewell and left the 'Pokemon Center', she left me with Nurse Joy who told me to follow her and asked for me to put my Ralts into its PokeBall.

I had no clue what a Pokeball is but the Officer did explain why I was here and what had happened. "I'm sorry i lost it when the Poochyena attacked us…" I say with a false somber tone, all the nurse did was nod and let me into a room and shut the door behind us.

-"Okay just sit down on the bed and let's see that shoulder." She says as she gets the proper medical equipment ready, I sit on the bed with the Ralts in my left hand that seems to be nodding off. The nurse peels off my makeshift bandage and looks at my wound with a puzzled look.

-"What did the Poochyena use because I've never seen a wound like this from them…" The nurse asked with the same puzzled look whipped across her face whilst I was thinking of lie and something that these 'Pokemon' could use that are similar to AKM round. Ofcourse I couldn't think in anything so I just go with the first thing that came up my head.

-"It used a Hyper subsonic Beam and launched it at my Ralts but I took the hit and began to run ignoring the pain." I say once again lying though my teeth, I hated lying but sometimes its needed by twisting the truth a bit.

-"Well it is rare for them to learn Hyper Beam but it is not impossible… we should inform the Officers so they can get the proper precautions ready." Said Joy as she began cleaning out my wound, which in turn caused me to whine and grinding my teeth to try to distract myself from the pain.

Nurse Joy had finished dressing my wound and put it in some new bandages and something to hold my right arm so my shoulder can heal properly, I am soon in the streets of PetalBurg with the Ralts in my hands and the poor thing is out cold.

-"I guess running for your life can really tire you out huh." I say to no one in particular but it was directed towards this Ralts. I began thinking about what am I going to do, its about 2 P.M, So I got some time to find somewhere to stay and something to eat. Because the last time I ate was about four hours before I made the breakout with the device. I was pulled away from my thoughts as a child has walked upto me with some awe in her eyes staring at my Ralts.

-"Wow! Mister you got a shining Ralts and it's a she too!" The little girl said but contined. "I have a Ralts too but he's a male so he can't evolve into a Gardevoir like yours but I can get a Gallade if my daddy buys a Dusk Stone." She says once again cuts me off. "Well thanks for letting me pet your Ralts mister I have to get going." Said this little girl as she ran away, then turned into a driveway which I presumed was her house. But now I know this Ralts is female, but how do you tell? I look down at her and now that I think of it her eyes lashes seemed longer, so I guess that's the difference between the two sexes of Ralts but whats a Gardevoir?

-"Hey you! I wanna battle YOU!" I heard some voice scream from behind, I turn to see the same little girl but with some bigger boy who seems like an older brother.

-"My sister told me you had a shining Ralts so how about we have a battle?" He says smiling and holding up what I presume is a Pokeball, but I didn't even know what a battle was? I should just decline his offer because if it's a Pokemon battle I don't think this Ralts would be much of a fighter.

-'I can so be a fighter!' I hear some female voice say in my head, but the little girl never spoke. I began looking left and right but whatever it was got my attention again.

-'Down here!' I look down and see that the Ralts is now awake and giving me a dirty look.

-'I can to fight! C'mon I've never had a trainer before because I felt too scared of humans but you're different I could feel it off your aura when I found you.' She exclaims then turns to the boy and his Pokeball. I am still shocked that she can speak to me though telepathy.

-"Umm I guess we can." I say somewhat unsure, but the boy only jumped into the air and shouted in excitement.

-"Alright I choose you Ralphie!" Yelled the boy as he threw his Pokeball in front of himself and soon a bright light followed and as it disappeared a Ralts was standing there in a defensive position. I just looked down at my Ralts, she in turn nodded and jumped out of my hands and placed herself directly across from the boy and his Pokemon.

-"The battle between Onii-chan and Mister…" The girl is acting as an announcer but paused to get me to say my name. "Kiritsugo Tsubaki." I say with a smile, which she returns and continues. "Kiritsugo and their Ralts, begin….NOW!" She says while bringing her hand down in a starting motion.

-"Okay Ralphie use growl!" said the boy, and his Pokemon shot out a small growl. I look at my Ralts with a questioning look on.

-'I don't know many offensive attacks besides tackling my opponent or I can use a psychic move known as confusion." She said while waiting for my orders, I just think for a moment and give my command.

-"Claire use Confusion!" I command as Claire focuses her power and soon her body is surrounded by a shroud of psychic energy, she then lets a small puff of air as she releases her attack. The aura of psychic energy passing through the air at high speeds crashes into the other Ralts and causes it to fall over but it tries to get up but can't.

-"Ralphie is unable to continue battle, the winner is Mister Kiritsugo!" Yelled the little girl as she walked up to her brother, whom look down but perked right back up and walked over to me. He extends his hand.

-"Good battle, your Ralts not only I shining but seems already really strong so here have this a token of winning." He says as we're shaking hands he leave some notes and coins in my palm. I look at him with a puzzled look and then turned my attention back to the money; it reminds me of Japanese money Yen. But had some differences like the size and color other than that they're pretty much identical.

-"I'm not going to take this." I say going to hand him back, his 1200PYen but he stopped me with a smile.

-"It's the price of a Pokemon Battle the loser has to give some Yen to the winner or some kind of reward it can anything like a ribbon, even a limited edition Pokeball or something." Says the boy as he returns his Ralts into it ball and turned away from me.

-"I gotta get my Ralts to the Pokemon center so I'll catch you around." He says as he leaves down the road with his sister in tow whom is waving like mad at me. I just wave back not wanting to hurt the child's feelings. With the money I won I could maybe get some grub and maybe a hotel room. I then turn to Claire who is standing beside my leg and clinging to my pant leg. I bend down to her level of eye-sight so we can be eye to eye.

-"Hey is anything wrong Claire?" I ask with a warm smile, she just looks down so I can't see her face but see nods and respond through telepathy.

-'Yeah I am just tired and hungry…' she says with a small yawn which makes my heart melt due to her cuteness. I pick her up and put her on my left shoulder.

-"Alrighty then, let's go look for a place to stay and the local market." I say while I begin to run, Claire just lets out a bell like squeal and grips onto my head and shoulder more. I ran for about nine or ten blocks before I find a Small local motel. I enter the building and I am greeted by a man with smile who talks first.

-"Hello and Welcome to Sleep N' Go Motel for Trainers!" He says with a smile. "I am Arito Tanika your host and which type of room would you be looking for?" Arito finished with a smile; I just looked at his board above his cash register. Single bed Room: 120 PYen/ Double Bed Room: 220PYen/ Queen Bed Room: 200 PYen/ Double Queen Room: 400 PYen/ King Bed Room: 300 PYen/ Double King Room: 580 PYen/ per day.

-"I'll take Queen Room for 200 Yen." I say while digging out the two 100 Yen bills that the kid gave for winning. I hand Arito the bills he smiles and opens a drawer, and hands me a key marked 420. I giggle to myself at the rooms' number but Arito seems confused by my sudden laughter at the rooms' number.

-'What is so funny about the number 420?' Asks Claire with some curiosity, I just keep walking giggling like a moron whilst Claire just rolls her eyes. We reach the room and I open the door it was surprisingly nice for just a Motel but it's all Japanese style room no chairs just some mats and some bean bags. In the right corner was the Queen size bed, the other was a basic kitchen with a sink, counter and stovetop. Just to the left of the Kitchen is the bathroom. I drop my coat on the table, Claire jumps off my shoulder then looks around the room and I turn back to the door.

Before I open the door I ask Claire. –"Do you want to stay here and sleep or come with me to the market to get some stuff for dinner?" She once again looks down so I can't see her face and nods.

-'I'll come to the market with you…' she says with her arms reaching up at me, so I pick her up and place her yet again on my shoulder, and I open the door walk out of the hallway greet Arito with a wave which he returns. We both exit the building and I begin walking where I heard Arito mentioned where the market is.

-'So how can you talk to me telepathically?' I say into my head to test a theory I had but she confirmed it when she answered. –'After you saved me from those Poochyena we had a bond of friendship that allows me to talk to you this way but not many humans can do this, so I am surprised on how easy it was to do this with you.' Claire says in a matter-a-fact tone, I look at her and smile. –"Good to know we're friends" I say. "And what did you mean how easy it is to talk to me this way?" she then makes a bell chime cry.

-'Well as I said, I'm not very good at interacting with human I always used to panic and run but you were different plus you were hurt so I had some re-insurance if you weren't friendly.' Claire stated 'I'm also kind of hunted for too because of my shining gene.' I just thought about it then came to a conclusion.

-"So you checked to see if I even had any intent to catch you right?" I ask she just nods. It then hit me; did she see anything else but my intents towards her? As I think that she seems to tense up abit.

-"Hey can you read my mind and thoughts?" I demand, as I ask that I feel her grip tighten up like a vice grip. She tries changing the subject.

-'Hey look we're at the market.' She says hoping I'd leave it alone but from her continued response she knew I didn't. 'So what are you getting in the market?' Claire then sat down in defeat due to my silence and most likely she's reading my mind.

-'Okay fine you win, yes I can. I'm sorry it's just what my abilities as a Pokemon, They call me the emotion Pokemon because my horns can pick up human thoughts and emotions.' She sputtered out, she even sounded nervous in my head.

-"It's fine, but from now on be honest with me okay?" I say with a warm smile, Claire just nods and clings closer to me.

-'Okay I will!' she says filled with joy in her voice. We went to many different stalls and stores, we're returning to the Motel after spending about 400 PYen on food and 500 PYen on a backpack, some Pokeballs and potions. While in the Market I found out if your Pokemon isn't registered to a Pokeball, others can just throw a ball at it, and take it if the Pokemon isn't strong enough to escape.

-"When we get back, I gotta put you in a Pokeball so I can register you under my new Trainer I.D." I say to Claire, who is enjoying an Oran Berry stops eating to respond.

-'Okay but I don't want to stay in it I've been in a few before but broke out.' Claire says 'So I know for a fact they aren't that comfy.' I just nod and pat her head.

-"I'd never make you stay in your ball unless you have to be, Deal?" I say to Claire, who says nothing but gives off a bell chime cry that sounded like she was happy with the situation. Once we got back to the Motel it was about 6:30 P.M, its strange how this planet closely resembles earth in so many factors yet so different.

For one this world has more than just regular animals but a different variant called Pokemon, Each one has its own unique personality so I guess kinda like people who can't speak with our tongue. But some like Claire can use our speech through telepathy but that's about it. So because I don't know much about this world I want to travel it all, EVERY single inch of it because I had just escaped death the day prior.

I was lost in thought that I didn't notice we're walked past the Motel, the walk back for some reason felt much shorter. I walk into the Motel greet Arito, and return down the hall into the room, I let Claire down and begin un-packing the food and putting the extra food into the fridge and put what I needed for supper this evening onto the counter.

I planned on making ramen noodles but those need at least a night to proof before I can make them, well I don't have too but it makes the whole making the dough in to noodles part easier. But for tonight I'm just making quick fry steaks and a quick garden salad, I'm honestly not too sure if Claire eats meat so I'll make some extra for her but even if she doesn't like it, I sure as hell know I will. I put the stovetop onto 5 heat, place the frying pan and throw on the steaks. With those slowly cooking I move down the counter to a cutting board and begin roughly chopping my romaine lettuce, red onions and begin preparing basic vinaigrette made of apple cider, mustard and pepper. It's been months since I've cooked for myself, after getting drafted by the Syndicate and entering that Russian Base under an Alias, So almost four years now but I'm glad to see I haven't lost my sense of taste. I flip the steaks and put pepper, salt and add onions and garlic into the pan for extra flavour, also I like the onions on top of my steak.

-'What are you making?' I heard in the back of skull, I turn down towards Claire who is gripping onto my pant leg whilst looking up at me with a large amount of curiosity, I just smiles and turn my attention back to the stove top.

-"Well I'm making some steaks and basic garden salad; I hope that alright with you?" I say while putting all the different vegetables in to a large bowl, all Claire does is nod.

-'Can I come up and watch?' She asks while tapping her little hands together, I answer her question by putting her onto my shoulder, and I continue cooking with Claire snuggled close to my neck.

-'Thanks for letting me watch, I've always wondered how humans got their food.' Claire states, I turn off the stove and grab plates from the cabinet.

-"Okay I was wondering, do you eat meat?" I ask while adding the steaks to the plates and I begin tossing the salad evenly with feta cheese. The Ralts seemed like it was deep in thought.

-'I wouldn't know I've never tried it before.' She responds with her face looking up with anticipation. 'So I don't know if I have an omnivore stomach.' Claire continued, I finished getting both plates ready and begin bring them over to the table.

-"Well even if you can't eat meat, I'll have you know that I won't let any go to waste." I say with a horrible Russian accent, Claire nods and jumps on to the table, I put the plates on the table then returned to the cabinets to get some glasses for some water.

-'Damn that's the one thing I forgot, Milk.' I think casually as I take my place at the table, I look over at my new Partner stuffing her face. She literally ate her whole plate within the time it took me to get water and sit back down.

-'*Burp* Ahh now that was good, now I know one thing for sure… I LOVE meat.' Claire exclaims then yawns. I smile and quickly finish my plate, the whole meal consisted of Claire and I getting better acquainted. Turns out she's actually 14 in human years but still that really surprises me that a little thing like her is a fourteen year old.

-"So did you like supper?" I say with a satisfied smile while patting my stomach I also let out a small yawn and get up.

-'Yeah I did but I'm tired." Claire says with a long yawn, I smile and pick her up and bring her to the bed.

-"Well im glad you like my cooking and here you can have the bed." I say as I put her down and walk up to a futon, grabbing it and a blanket from the foot of the bed. I set up it and lay down.

-'Why are you on the floor?' Claire asks while looking at me from the bed I just scoff and shake my head.

-"I'm sure you'd rather have the bed to yourself than share it with me, besides I am a blanket hog." I say back whilst shutting my eyes, I can tell Claire wanted to protest but she didn't, I heard her lay down as well. Hopefully tomorrow will be eventful.
