I wake up, unknown of who I am, where I am, and why am I here. My head feels foggy, and I can't think too terribly well, so I'm going to focus on my surroundings. There's a light breeze, isn't that wind? I'm lying on my back, with my arms outstretched on something green. It's grass. There's some kind of metal collar and ankle-thing on my right ankle and neck, with a few chains attached; I'm guessing they were parts of longer chains but broke. There's smoke coming from nearby. Following the smoke trail, I find the burned remains of a crashed... helicopter? I see a faint red R on the side. When I open the door, a charred corpse falls out, obviously he didn't survive the crash, but what caused the fire? As I look at myself, I find I have a grey-maroon torso and limbs, and a tail, that's burning at the tip, but this feels normal. As I wonder through this field, I see a sort of hill, and a desert. The sign nearby reads 'Lumiose Badlands' and an arrow with the name 'Lumiose City' next to it, the arrow points in the direction of the badlands. "Hey! Are you thinking of going into the badlands? It's dangerous there" a voice cries. I turn to its owner, a bright yellow rodent of some kind.
It has red cheeks, some kind of long ears that go from yellow to black at the tips, a bright yellow tail, small feet, two little arms and looks like it'd be related to electricity. It makes me think 'Pikachu' and it introduces itself as that "I'm Pikachu, nice to meet you! Say, you're a weird-looking charmeleon. What's your name?" my name? "I'm... I'm not sure" I reply "c'mon! Everyone has a name, don't they?" Pikachu then urges me to think, instant on the idea that I do have a name "I... can't remember" I finally state after about a minute "oh well... at least you tried. So, if you don't remember your name, do you remember anything" Pikachu asks "nothing before a few minutes ago" I respond "I just found myself laying in the grass over there, with no memories" "reminds me of Robin" Pikachu mutters "who?" "Oh it's nothing. So, what's up with these then? Some kind of fancy accessory?" Pikachu tugs at the anklet-thing "It's as if you just escaped capture" a vivid memory flashes across my mind.
