Prologue~
The Start of a Whole New Life
I woke up floating in a dark, cold, and empty space. It was so... calm. After a moment of trying make sense of my lack of surrounding, a voice started to speak. It sounded like it was all around, but, wasn't very loud either.
'Hello, Traveler.' It said, 'You are about to begin your journey in a magical world, one that you could only dream of.' I didn't respond, I didn't know what to say. After a moment of silence, it spoke again.
'This world, will fall to darkness. It is too soon for its inhabitants to know how or why, but they are all in grave danger and need your help.' The voice said.
"Why my help? There isn't anyone else to be chosen?" I responded.
'The being that will destroy this world, has already devoured yours. You are the only one to survive long enough for I to retrieve you.'
It took me a moment to realize what I was just told.
"W-WHAAAAAT?!? What do mean it was-"
'Speak no further. It is best to not dwell on the subject any longer. Just know that you have survived, and will in the future, because of those you surround yourself with." It interrupted me. I remained silent, trying my best to not think about it.
"What am I supposed to do now then? How do I stop something that eats worlds?" I asked, holding back tears.
'I will transport you into this world as one of its inhabitants, but I cannot just select one out of the blue. I will ask you some questions, all you have to do is answer truthfully.' I accepted the voice's offer.
'First Question:
Have you ever felt responsible for on of your friends mistakes?'
I almost immediately answered "yes".
'Second Question:
Have you ever stolen or destroyed something that doesn't belong to you?'
"No, never." I responded.
'Third Question:
If you noticed someone being bullied, would you go out of your way to help them?'
Of course."
'Fourth Question:
If you had to choose between saving your friends or your family, who would you choose?'
I thought about it for a minute, but I couldn't decide.
"Is there no way to save them both? There has to be." I said, but the voice didn't reject my answer.
'Final Question:
Would you rather sacrifice one person for hundreds, or hundreds of people for one person?'
I was going to ask about all the serious questions, but decided it's probably to warn me in some way of what awaits me.
"It's obvious, if I had to, I would sacrifice one person for the hundreds."
'Really? No matter how important they were to you?' The voice asked. I was surprised it responded to that.
"Yes, no matter how important they were to me." I said. A small flash of light appeared before me.
'Reach into the light, and grab hold of the item within.' The voice said. I did as it told me, putting my hand in, but I was unable to pull it back.
'Breathe, it will easily come out if you relax, and breathe.' The voice told me. I calmed myself down, and the light shined brighter and brighter. As I was being engulfed in the light, I was able to pull out a silver arm band, with black flames etched into the rims of it. It had a hole near where the hand would be. I held up the band, as the light began to compress itself around me, I felt only the slightest of pressure. My body was changed by the light, into that of a blue and black fured dog with a yellow belly.
'You are a righteous person, seeking only the correct path. You always put others before yourself, and to try save as many people as you can. You fight for the greater good.'
'A noble and righteous person like you is deserving of a Pokémon of the same personality, a Lucario. With its incredible strength, willpower, and resolve, this body will aide you well in your journey.' A portal opened beneath me.
'That arm band with also aide you, traveler. Be sure to keep it on you always.' The voice stated, I began to float towards the portal. As I got closer to the center, I noticed it felt like I was being pulled down, and in the blink of an eye, I was sucked down the portal, to emerge in whatever world is waiting for me.
