The bright light fades from around me, and noise returns to the world. I quickly open my eyes, looking around. I'm standing outside of a Pokémon Centre. The town seems to be pretty empty. Nothing seems to be going on, just the occasional passer-by, and that's it.

"Well... Better head in then." I mumble to myself, strolling towards the Pokémon Centre. They seem much bigger than the ones back in Johto I think to myself. Guess that means we're not there anymore. Accumula town sounds somewhat familiar... Unova? Yeah, I think I'm in Unova...

I walk into the Pokémon Centre, looking around. Just like the outside, it's pretty empty. One or two trainers sitting down, with their Pokémon at their sides. On the right, there is a small counter, decorated in blue, like the old Pokémarts. I guess they moved them together for convenience now. At the opposite side of the room, there is the usual desk where you can heal your Pokémon, or book a room. I walk towards the counter.

"Hello, sir! I'm Nurse Joy! Would you like us to heal your Pokémon today?" The nurse behind the counter says, beaming happily at me as I want towards her

"No thanks, Miss" I reply awkwardly, still not sure how everything works as a trainer. "I, uh, need to book a room. Anything will be fine"

"Ok! That's fine, we've got plenty of free rooms! Just hand me your Trainer Card, and I'll book you into one!" She replies politely, looking expectantly at me.

"Ah... Uh, just give me a minute to find it..." I say, quickly ducking down, looking in the pockets of the suitcase, trying to find the card. Uh... What does a Trainer Card even look like? Well, probably like a card... Ah, here it is! I stand up again and hand the card to the now very confused looking nurse. She clears her throat quickly, and takes it from me, turning away from me quickly to enter a few keys on her computer, before turning back to me and handing me the card on keys.

"Here you go, Mr. Marshall! Your room is L3! Just head up the left staircase, it'll be the third room. You're free to stay there up to a week with no charge!" The nurse says, before turning away from me and going back to her PC. I say thanks, and quickly move towards my new room, dragging my suitcase up the stairs and towards L3. I pull out the keys, shoving them quickly into the lock and opening the door. I quickly move in, throwing my suitcase onto a bed, and locking my door behind me.

"This... This day couldn't have gone worse..." I mumble quietly to myself, before sitting on the bed next to my suitcase. I rest my head in my hands, feeling tired and weak. I go through everything that happened today, trying to collect my thoughts, and hopefully make sense of it all.

So, I woke up in the middle of nowhere, in a chamber, tied up... I get taken by a talking Pokémon, a creepy scientist girl, and a weird psychic thing into a chamber and get forced into doing a job for them... I have no idea what the job is... I'm given a Pokémon for free, a new identity, I no longer have my old identity... I repeat this a few times in my head, before groaning loudly and laying down, rubbing my forehead. Why did I have to accept that so easily... I could have challenged them! Or at least made the terms better for me... I gave in too easily... I always try to take the easy way out... I let out another groan, and sit up.

"Well... Might as well see what they want of me..." I quickly empty my pockets, laying the pokeball, Trainer Card and room key. I start unzipping the suitcase, not sure what to expect in there. As I open it fully, I see a few things that stick out. The suitcase is mostly full of what you'd expect to see in there. Clothes, food for travelling, a few belts and that sort of stuff. There are, however, 3 things that stick out. 2 brown, completely plain envelopes, and a small metal box. I pull out the two envelopes, and look over them. One of them is much smaller than the other, but apart from that, their both the same. Completely blank.

I take the smaller one and open it first. Inside, there is a small card with a note inside. "Bank Card. Can be used in most shops. Use the cash wisely. 10,000P inside" It reads. I grin happily to myself. '10,000 Poké... That's enough to keep me going for a while!' I think to myself excitedly. I quickly move on to the next envelope, carefully opening it.

Inside this one is much different. I pull out a few sheets of paper. Most of them are pictures, but one is covered in writing. I take a look at that one first.

"Dear Employee.

If you're reading this, that means you've chosen to accept doing this mission for us. Before you continue, check that you are in a completely private area. This is highly classified material. After reading this, make sure to dispose of it in such a way it cannot be read again. Water or fire damage would be best for this.

Once you have checked you are in a safe area, continue reading." I look around quickly. The curtains are closed, the door is locked, so I should be private...

"Now, you've been tasked to find out as much information as possible on a certain pokémon. As soon as you find out any information on this pokémon that you believe to be of high importance, use the items in the metal box to call a delivery service, which will deliver any information you have.

Your task, which you are bound to completing until you either are released by the boss, or die, is to find out as much as you can on the legendary pokémon Latios and Latias. Our boss would like to know everything possible to know about them. On the next sheet, you'll find out everything we currently know. Once you find out something, let us know

This is your mission. Carry it out, or face punishment

Do not tell anyone about this. Even fellow employees

Do not try seeking help from Police. We have them on our side

Good luck"

I take a few minutes to re read the letter, not quiet believing they want me to do this. "Latios and Latias? Really? Do... Do they even know how stupid that sounds?" I ask the empty room. I flip the page, seeing what they already know. Unsurprisingly, the page is mostly blank.

"Latios: Eon Pokémon

Age: Unknown

Gender: Unknown

Appearance: Turn over for artist's interpretations

Location: Unknown

Powers: Unknown, but rumoured to be exceptionally powerful.

Quantity: Unknown

Latias: Eon Pokémon

Age: Unknown, but rumoured to be younger than Latios

Gender: Unknown

Appearance: Turn over for artist's interpretations

Location: Unknown

Powers: Possible invisibility. Nothing else known

Quantity: Unknown"

'Well... That was completely useless...' I think to myself, turning over again to see their appearance.

The Latios seems to be quite accurate to what know of them. Mostly blue body, with a white upper body and a small blue crest on it's head. The Latias drawing seems to be the same, but red

"Well... That seems to be somewhat accurate..." I whisper with a sigh. Well... Luckily for them, they seem to have done their research on who to give this mission to. I'm no expert, but I certainly know more than this... I think anyone who's ever read a children's storybook about the eon duo knows more than this...

I put the documents down, and grab the metal box. It's heavy, and sounds like it's got loose items in it. I undo the little latch holding it closed, and take a look inside. It seems to be empty, except for a small whistle. I take it out, rolling it about in my hands, examining it. One of the sides is labeled with the words: "For use in emergencies or transport" I decide not to try it out, since whatever it calls probably doesn't want to come here for no reason...

"Well... That leaves only now more thing to try out." I say, picking up the pokeball and pressing the button in the middle, making it grow to full size in my palm "Come on out then, whatever you are!" I throw the ball at the grown, and it opens. With a bright flash, my new pokemon is revealed to me.

A Goomy...

Out of every Dragon Type I could have been given...

I got a Goomy...

I sigh and watch it look around, confused about it's surrounding. Presumably, it hasn't been let out in a while. I turns and looks at me, staring at me. I stare back, awkwardly smiling. Wow... This thing is both creepy and cute...

I walk up to him and sit near to him. He's... Tiny... It only just sits above my knees, whilst sitting. Hardly the most impressive thing. I quickly turn around, searching the pockets of my suitcase for the Pokedex I was given. I quickly find it, pulling it out.

"Now, let's find out a little more about you." I say, making the Goomy turn towards me, with an unsure look on it's face. I place it's pokeball into the pokedex, and it begins analysing the Goomy. A few seconds later, it beeps at me, and some details come up onto the screen.

Goomy: Soft Tissue Pokemon

Name: Unassigned

Gender: Female

Level: 11

Moves: Tackle, Bubble, Absorb, Poison Tail

Nature: Bold

I look over the results, somewhat impressed. 'Good moves, for something this level... From what I know, at least... Which is not much' I think to myself. I look down at the Goomy, smiling. "Well, hey there, buddy." I say, watching it look around confused, then at me. It stares for a few seconds, before wondering off, leaving a small trail of slime behind it. I let out a small groan. "Well... That's not gonna make the cleaners happy..."

I stand up, picking up the documents and taking them to the bathroom. I drop them in the sink, turning on the tap to fill it with water. The paper is thin, and quickly becomes soft in the water. After a few minutes, the paper turns into pulp. I pull it out of the sink, throwing it into the toilet and flushing it. "Now... That's taken care of..." I head back into the main room.

I take a proper look around the room. In one corner, there's a PC, and a printer on a desk. Opposite that is where I sleep, a single bed, only just big enough for me. On the wall near the door, there's a small phone, for room service and emergencies. That's pretty much everything in the room. The center is only small, so I wouldn't really expect anything bigger. I head over and sit at the PC, booting it up. I slide my Trainer Card into the side of the PC, and it logs me into a private account. I open up a text document, and begin writing.

"Right... So, I need a To-Do list..." I begin writing everything I need. I've gone through my suitcase and examined everything in there. There's enough spare clothes for about 5 days of travelling, 2 pairs of regular shoes, a pair of hiking boots and plenty of travel food for humans, but none for Goomy... What does a Goomy even eat?

After a few minutes, I have a pretty long list. Some of it I can buy now, online. I should be able to find some more of the things at the Pokemart, and the rest will come later. I save the word document, and print it off. I then open up a browser and start searching for things I need. Luckily, most sites allow you to send items to Pokemon centers.

A few hours pass until I finish my shopping. With a sigh, I stand up, moving over to my bed and laying down with a heavy thud. Goomy fell asleep on the end of my bed an hour or so ago. I sit in bed, looking at my Trainer Card. John Marshall... That's my new name, I guess... My appearance seems unchanged, other than my hair being a jet black instead of the usual blonde. Everything else is the same, however. Still says I'm male, still got the same birthday, 18th of January, 1994.

"This... I... I don't even know what to think anymore..." I sigh loudly, laying down under my blanket and resting my head on my pillow. "I... It all starts over... Why me..." The warmth of the bed makes my eyes heavy, making me want to fall asleep. "Why me..."

Chapter 2 done! This took much less time to write. I've got a pretty firm idea where I want this to go now, chapters will get much more action-packed in the future. I just don't want to rush too much.

So, feel free to give feedback in reviews! Good or bad, it helps!

Next chapter will be up in a few days. See you all then!

UPDATE: Just done a pretty big overhaul on big chapters, made it a bit better. (Hopefully)
