Here we go. Sorry for not updating in a while. Life happens. Anyway, here comes a description of my partner and the physics of the world we're in.
The next morning, Cy and Petital set out for Pokemon Central. As they went on their way, Petital tried to strike up a conversation.
"So… What level are you?"
"Um… I dunno. How do you tell?"
Unable to get over the ignorance of this human turned pokemon, Petital replied, "You just know. Whenever a pokemon is hatched, we say they're at level one, then they keep track of how many times they level up, and that's their level. You can feel when you level up because you get a sudden boost in your abilities. You can't miss the feeling of power that engulfs you when you level up, and the number of times it has happened to you is firmly planted into your mind. not even amnesia can remove the number from your mind"
"Oh… well than, I guess I'm at level one then, because I don't ever remember leveling up. What level are you?"
"Five." Petital simply said.
As they walked further along in silence, Petital turned again and said, "What moves do you know?"
"I don't know that either. Is there a special method for that too?"
"Well, not even psychic pokemon completely understand it, but each pokemon is able to know four moves at a time, whenever they learn a new one, an older, less powerful move is forgotten instantly. Then they're unable to use that move unless they remember it, forgetting a different move in the process. Many pokemon have tried to retain more than four moves using a linking machine, but they either developed amnesia and forgot all of their moves, or they went hopelessly insane."
"Oh… Well then I guess I should try to do one and see what I know." Turning, Cy called, "Water gun!" and opened his mouth wide. However, instead of the jet of water he expected nothing happened, "Dang, not even Bubble. I really am low level."
Looking at Cy suspiciously, Petital said, "How did you know Water Gun and Bubble were moves? I thought you had amnesia."
"Well… It's like I know some of the basic information I knew before, like I think I can read, and I know most of the types of pokemon in the world, but I can't remember who I am, or where I'm from. I can't remember any specifics about my life before I forgot everything."
"So, you don't know where those gloves or fancy glasses came from?" Petital asked as he pointed to the visor over Cy's eyes.
"I know they're important to me, but I don't know why or where they're from." So saying, Cy reached up and tapped them, as he did so, he accidentally tapped a button on the side. The yellow color of the lens suddenly became green and a laser-like light erupted and scanned Petital. Petital screeched in fright and scampered up a tree. A voice coming from nowhere spoke.
Petital: the leaf kitten pokemon, Petital are known by the six leaves on their back, and their thorn-like claws. If threatened, A Petital will either show a false display of power to intimidate the foe, or flee in fear.
Petital's muffled voice shouted from the branches of the tree, "What in the world was THAT?"
"I have no idea!" Cy said, just as startled. "It seems to be some sort of scanner."
"A scanner huh?" Petital said, climbing down from the tree but still rather nervous. "Try scanning something else."
Removing and then pointing the visor at himself, Cy pushed the button again and the green light reappeared and scanned him. Once more the voice began to speak.
Squirtle: The tiny turtle pokemon. It's back hardens at birth to form a protective shell. It is capable of shooting high-pressure foam from it's mouth.
"Ah…" Cy said with a look of understanding, "It must be capable of scanning the information of pokemon."
"Well, if it's not going to hurt us…" Petital said, trailing off out of relief. "Let's just keep going."
They continued on till they reached a fork in the road. On one path, there was a sign with an angry pokemon symbol on it.
"Rats." Petital said after seeing it, "We'll have to go the long way around."
"Why?" Cy asked.
"This path through the forest has become a mystery dungeon. Wild pokemon have claimed it and they won't hesitate to attack us." Petital explained. "It's too bad though, this used to be the fastest way to the city"
"If it's the fastest way, then we can blow through before any wild pokemon even see us." Cy said. "It's worth a try anyway."
"I don't know…" Petital said with a worried expression.
"Where's your sense of adventure?" Cy asked as he started off down the forbidden path.
"Wait!" Petital cried as he took off to catch Cy before he went too far. Cy didn't notice his guide's call though and took off running with surprising speed for a squirtle.
Soon it was all Petital could do to keep up. Suddenly, Cy came to a stop. Petital came up beside him panting. "Cy! Mystery dungeons are dangerous! We could get stuck in there and…" he trailed off as he realized that Cy was busy listening to something else.
"I thought I heard someone calling for help." He said.
"Well then let's get to Pokemon central and then we can get an exploration team out here to get help." Petital said, trying to pull Cy back to the fork. "Let's go."
"But someone needs help!" Cy protested pulling away from Petital.
"All the more reason to get out of here and get some!" the verdant feline retorted, tugging as hard as he could.
"No! It'll be too late by then. I'm going in." So saying, Cy finally wrenched himself free and took off down the trail faster than before.
"Argh!" Petital moaned as he followed the heroic, yet impulsive squirtle through the woods.
Now the adventure really begins.
