Chapter 1: The Beggining I

All stories have a beginning, it's what makes them a story. A ball can't roll on a flat surface without being pushed.

However, what makes a beginning? A prologue? A short story? A person?

No, what makes a beginning is an event. It could be life-changing, or seemingly unimportant, but it's always there.

So...what event begins this story?

I could say it started with a dream, but what started the dream? We could go back to our main characters birth and begin there!

But no, that would be far too boring. I suppose the first major event in our main characters life would be...with it...

Hoenn, Mossdeep Space Centre, 5 Years Prior.

Pain.

That was all that existed.

What was that phrase humans used? How the mighty have fallen? How...fitting.

It was furious, enraged, humiliated, the Legendary Pokemon that controlled Kyogre and Groudon, Rayquaza, captured by meer men. Being tested on like a common lab Rattata.

The Legendary dragon growled to itself. Humans were such a disgusting species, so impure, such easily tainted hearts, humans didn't deserve to live!

They had gone...for now, the ones in the white coats. It didn't know humans came in species as well. It was almost humiliated, comparing humans to pokemon in even that tiny form, they were NOTHING alike!

They were trying to harness IT'S power. The dragon gave out an amused growl to itself, humans are so foolish. Just because the Red and Blue orbs existed they thought they could create their own, ridiculous.

They'd slowly been siphoning its power, storing it in some sort of tank. But no matter, it told itself, it was easily replaceable.

For now, all it could do was rest. Have rare, undisturbed rest.

Unfortunately it turned out that was not possible. The doors opened and the dragon gritted its teeth knowing they were starting again.

However, instead of humans walking in, a Skitty with very bright pink fur came in. It was obviously Shiny, and it looked like it was running away from something.

"SKITTYYYYYY! Wait up!"

The pokemon's ears perked up and it ran and hid underneath a table. A human then entered the room, this one had brown scruffy fur on its head and clear, calm blue eyes. It was wearing that material...clothing, all over its body like all humans

The human looked around, completely oblivious to the dragons presence. "Shiny Skitty! Come on out! I promise I won't hurt you!" Finally the human looked up at the Legendary and gasped. "Woah!...Y-Your R-Rayquaza...aren't you?" The human instantly became afraid.

Rayquaza then realised that this was a child of a human, it didn't matter, all humans were evil. The child looked at it and took a few tentative steps forward. "What are you doing in there? Does it hurt?"

The Legendary snorted an agreement, not wanting to continue the conversation. "Really? Are the people here...cruel to you?"

Rayquaza gave the child a glance. Why was it so interested anyway? Wasn't it chasing that Skitty like the cruel human it was? But for some reason, the dragon nodded nonetheless.

The human nodded. "Okay..." It then walked over to the controls...and proceeded to press buttons and pull levers.

As it did so, the pain seemed to die down, and Rayquaza's restraints fell away. "Is that better? Or worse? Nod or shake your head." The human asked.

The dragon was shocked for a second before nodding as more of its restraints fell away. Why was this human helping it? There must be an ulterior motive, no human would just save a pokemon out of kindness.

Before the human could continue, the wall suddenly exploded inward as a Salamance burst in, ripping apart the rest of Rayquaza's shackles.

But it also caused the room to start collapsing as well.

"Nyaaaa!" The Skitty suddenly ran out from under the desk and into the humans arms as rubble fell around them.

"Th-There you are! I was worried!" The human said as it shielded the pokemon from falling rubble. The child then stood up and held the pokemon out to Rayquaza. "P-Please Rayquaza! You've gotta save this Skitty! You have too! Please!"

Rayquaza for once was speechless. He had never seen such a selfless act from a human before, an action such as this was unheard of for him! The Salamance was closing in on them and in what could have been a foolish split-second desicion, the Legendary threw both the child and pokemon onto its head before flying out.

The sun. After so long it was glorious on the dragons face. He had missed it so very much.

Rayquaza then remembered its stolen energy. Cursing to itself, it flew back in.

The energy was in a large container, Rayquaza refused to let humans have this energy! However there was no way to reabsorb it.

Thinking quickly, the dragon noticed a prototype Jade Orb. He quickly summoned its energy from the container and transferred it to the Orb, making it glow yellow with its markings.

True, humans can't create an Orb, but what's to stop a legendary?

Thinking quickly, Rayquaza lowered its head so the child would pick it up.

"What is this?" The child said as it took the orb. Without waiting or answering, it flew back out.

He was briefly halted by that man, 'Norman', and his two Slakoth. The dragon protected the passengers on top of its head with a cloud illusion before easily defeating the Slakoth's, flying away from the accursed place.

It had to land in a forest to drop off its two new passengers, who looked at it. "Thank you, Rayquaza. You saved our lives."

"Nya!" The Skitty then began licking the boys face effectionately, making him giggle. Rayquaza was almost touched, never before had he seen such a pokemon valuing human.

The human held out the new Jade Orb. "Here you go, this is yours, right?" Yes, the Orb, it had to be destroyed immediately.

But, something stopped it. The only human who had ever showed it kindness, perhaps something should be given back...obviously the child was too young to comprehend its power. This could help protect it. Rayquaza shook its mighty head.

"You don't want it?" The child asked. Rayquaza gestured at him to try and get its point across. "I can keep it?" He said. The Legendary nodded, slightly surprised it understood it.

The child nodded. "Okay Rayquaza! I'll take good care of it!" The Skitty climbed onto its shoulder as the child clutched the orb to its chest. "Stay safe Rayquaza. Oh! I want you to know, my name is Quartz. I hope we meet again some day!"

Rayquaza nodded as well. It would like to meet this child again. But for now it must return home, to Sky Tower. The Legendary then turned and flew away.

"Nyaaa!" The Shiny Skitty looked down at the boy and the Orb in his hands. It had decided that the boys head was now quite comfortable.

"I'm sorry for chasing you, Skitty. But I've never seen a Shiny pokemon before." Quartz explained.

"Nya." The Skitty purred as Quartz put the Jade Orb in his backpack and he held the Skitty in front of him.

"Skitty, I don't really have a pokemon just yet. Will you be my first pokemon?" The boy asked.

"Nya! Nya!" The Skitty nuzled up to him and licked his face happily.

"That's great!" Quartz said. "Listen, can I give you a nickname?"

"Nyaaa..." Skitty nuzzled into his chest calmly.

"Okay...can I call you...Sky?" Quartz asked.

"Meooorw!" Sky purred at its new name.

"Yay! Sky! I hope we'll be best friends forever and ever!" Quartz cheered.

"Meorw!" Sky mewed as she nuzzled against Quartz's face.

...

So yes, that is how it happened, with a child, an orb, and a Shiny Skitty named Sky.

These events would shape Quartz's destiny years from the time, when he starts his journey with Sky and a girl with a Torchic and Aron.

Quartz, Male, Age: 8.

Team: Sky (Skitty), Female, Level 7, A Shiny Skitty who shares a bond with its trainer unlike any other..., Moves: Unknown.
