Hey everyone! Thanks for all the OCs! I'm still sifting through all of them, but I've got a good idea on the ones I'm going to use. I don't think I need anymore, but PM me with them anyways so I can check them out and see if i can work them in. ^^;
Sorry if this took a while, but school caught up to me, as well as a lack of access to my files for a bit, but its all good now. So hopefully I'll be able to work on them a lot more. ^^
And a major thing to not confuse you about how the story will occur. Its really fimiliar to how FFX starts if any of you have played it. It starts with a short scene that is deep into the story and plot, but will flashback until it reaches that point, then continue on. It sounds confusing, but it'll make sense when i put up the chapters.
And without further ado, let the story begin!
Prologue
Let's See How Far We've Come
It was a cold, windy night in the middle of the desert in the Orre region. The moon was bright and full, high in the midnight sky, without so much as a single cloud around in any direction. With the moon seemed to bring some sort of a calm across the land, which seemed to be in a slumber of its own. It was quiet on the surface of the ocean of sand, without so much as a creature stirring all across it. That is, except for a small campsite that had the only sound coming from a fire crackling to cut the silence of the night.
At that campsite were several people, all looking like teenagers or young adults who had been through quite a bit of ordeals. Their clothes were dirty and partly ripped, with themselves also covered in dirt and filth from their journey through the desert. They were obviously were exhausted and stressed, which could be seen on their faces, even as they slept. Only two of them were awake, as they sat near one another by the fire, putting in more fuel for the fire when it's needed and maintaining night watch.
One of the boys was slightly tanned and pretty average for a build, looking about 16 in age, with spiky dark blue hair. His dark blue t-shirt, brown paints and off grey and white sneakers were completely covered in dirt, just like the person who was wearing them. His gold goggles that were over the front of his hair were no different, dirt covering them as well, though the lenses were wiped clean so he could see out of them. He seemed to be worn out from their journey, how much they had traveled and how far they had gone, but he still had a fire in his eyes to see it through.
The other boy was about a year older than him, and, just like his friend by his side, was covered and sweat, grime, and dirt. His hair was an incredibly messy bunch on his head, as black as an Umbreon's fur and as wild as a Tangela. His navy blue jeans were worn and had tears at the knees, while his black t-shirt was unbuttoned and opened, slightly singed and cut at the sleeves and bottom, and his white undershirt was cut a bit too. He was lost in the thoughts behind his emerald green eyes, showing little emotion.
The two sat in silence for a little while until the older boy spoke "Jenrya?" He asked in a soft, quiet voice, "Have we done the right thing?"
Jenrya looked up at him, puzzled a bit at his question, "I think we have, Bri, why ask?" he replied, tossing another bit of timber into the fire to keep it roaring. Bri didn't reply, just thinking again. Jenrya walked over to him and put a hand on his shoulder. "Getting second thoughts?"
Bri nodded slowly, "Yeah, Jen, I am. I think that we're not really stopping this from happening, but stalling it or even accelerating it. I feel like we're the reason we're causing the world to fall apart again."
Jen shook his head, trying to hide a minor annoyance at him, "Who are you and what have you done with Brian?" Brian blinked and tilted his head a bit in confusion. Jen looked into his emerald eyes with his fiery golden ones. "The Brian I know wouldn't think that we're doing the right thing or not, but that what needs to be done and what we need is to stop those guys!" He half shouted at him. "What happened to the Bri I know? The one they called Hoenn's Dark Angel. The boy that was always at the top of our classes no matter what we did. The free-spirited thinker that got all of us together and formed Bad Company to take down the bad guys!" He took a deep breath and looked away. "What happened to my roommate? My tag partner? My best friend?"
An eerie silence fell upon them for a long time, neither of them making eye contact with one another until Bri stood up and punched Jen in the arm, a familiar smirk on his face. "He hasn't gone anywhere. Just got caught up thinking about when this all started…the start of the end of the world…"
Great to finally have that put up now! I'll try to put up the next chapter sooner so you wont have to wait as long. ^^;
Anyways, credit for the title goes to Matchbox 20 for their song. I don't own the song, nor Pokemon, which is why its up here. :3
Reviews please, but don't put your OCs in the reviews! PM them to me if you want them in the story!
