This is the real first chapter of the series I will release chapters in a more timed fashioned hope you enjoy.
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon.
Blant woke up sweating which was weird to him because his room is always cold he then sat up in his bed feeling a little light headed from doing it so fast and looked around his room which was littered with posters and themed items that he had wanted to be a Pokemon trainer and it usually left his room messy, he then saw the early morning sunlight pouring in from the wide open window indicating it was very early. But that was beside the point and memories of last nights strange dream had flooded into his head.
"Man that was weird who was that guy, what was he talking about, and what was with that Darkrai I have never seen or heard of a Pokemon use a move like that before?" But then he just dismissed it because in reality all it was, was just a dream.
He then laid back down in his bed and landed on something hard. He lifted up his covers to find the Relic shard sitting in his bed along with the Aura reader and the Lunar feather items that were all in his dream where sitting on the bed as if he had brought them out of his dream and he started to panic a bit.
"These were the same exact items that hooded man gave me. What are these doing here outside of my dream?" Blant then thought about it trying to find a logical explanation as to why both the items were in the real world.
But then his thought process was stopped when the Aura reader on his bed started to beep. He then picked it up and inspected the Metallic black object to make sure it wasn't a bomb if he could even identify a bomb and saw three little buttons on the side and a port to connect to to a PC. He was real curious as to what the button might do and pressed it. Then the small piece of machinery released a clear glass out of the slot on the side.
"What is this thing?" Blant thought to himself looking at the little screen.
He then put the Aura reader on his right ear and he saw on the tiny screen a message from someone. He then pressed the one of the tiny button and the message opened.
Dear Blant,
If you are reading this message then you have joined the XD force and accepted the responsibility of helping save the world from shadow Pokemon that are spreading around. Most people don't know about them but shadow Pokemon that have had their hearts closed do to an evil force caused by people causing Pokemon to gain a new type, new moves, stun their growth, and be more aggressive.
Our job is to capture these Pokemon and purify them releasing the shadow from their darkened hearts and bringing the Pokemon back to their normal states by having them open up to them with the Relic shard that you have acquired from my helper to purify them.
Please do your best to save the Pokemon and be careful of certain people who have been sold into the power of corrupting Pokemon and they will do anything to stop you in our quest to save the Pokemon.
Sincerely, Prof. Krane
"Wait but I didn't accept anything, how did this happen this is a big misunderstanding, I haven't even gotten my first Pokemon yet." Blant said to himself thinking about how he even got into this situation.
But then he remembered something that had been more important to him, the day when he finally got his first Pokemon and started his journey. After remembering this Blant set all of the information he received in the corner of his mind deciding he will deal with this later and pressed the button on the tiny machine again making the screen slide back into the Aura reader, he then got up and went to his closet to pick out his outfit that he will be wearing for his journey.
"I have been waiting for the day to put you on." Blant said excitingly looking at his new trainer clothes.
The outfit consisted of black cargo shorts with a belt that had six spaces to hold Pokeballs, he also had a black hooded shirt with a Forrest green shirt to wear over it and it had a black and white Pokeball in the lower left corner of the shirt. It also came with a black hat that had a design on the front of it, of the top half of a green Pokeball, the outfit also came with a pair of black gloves.
Blant changed out of his pajamas and put on his new "uniform", he then looked in the mirror and inspected himself. While inspecting himself he saw a plain black backpack sitting on his desk, Blant then picked it up and inspected the contents of the bag and seen 1000 Pokedollars, 3 potions, 2 Pokeballs, a black Pokegear with his mother already registered, and a new pair of green and black sneakers. He silently thanked his mom feeling grateful for the present he had received. Blant then went to his bed and picked up the Lunar wing and Relic shard and placed them in his bag.
"Alright it is time to go see the professor and get my Pokemon." Blant said to himself leaving his room.
He then made his way down stairs quietly trying not to wake his mother, opened the front door and went out into the cool morning air. Unable to contain himself he then found himself running to Prof. Oak's lab at full speed his heart thumping in his chest faster, as he got closer to his destination.
"This is gonna be great i'm finally going to get my first Pokemon I hope Prof. Oak is up this early so I can get it." Blant said while approaching the lab.
He then went up to the door and was about to knock, when all of a sudden the Aura reader whirred to life scanning the area in his field of vision. Blant got surprised by it realizing he never took it off he then looked around he then found a window and looked inside Prof. Oak's lab and saw all of the rows book shelves, desk, and advanced machinery in the lab. In the very back of the lab doing what seemed like research on a Rattata was Prof. Oak himself. that was inside of a glass case glaring at the professor.
"Shadow Pokemon detected." The Aura reader said in a robotic female voice.
"This thing can talk?" Blant asked still wondering how the gadget worked.
"Affirmative I am the AI unit i'm here to help you on your journey." She answered.
"Well what am I supposed to do about that I don't have a Pokemon and plus i'm sure Prof. Oak should know about this so he probably took safety precautions into studying it." Blant explained.
"If he did he would have used more than a glass case, you must go in and try to soothe its raging heart with the Relic shard." She responded.
"Wait but Prof. Oak has more Pokemon in there so I shouldn't have to worry about it." Blant was said feeling like he stated his case. Then he heard sound of breaking glass. "What was that?"
He peered inside the window and saw that the Rattata had broken out of it's case and was about to attack Prof. Oak, then Blant sprung into action by rushing into the door.
"Professor watch out that Rattata isn't normal!" Blant yelled.
But it was too late the Rattata had slammed into Prof. Oak unconscious, Rattata then looked at Blant with the same death glare he had seen Darkrai give to the Hitmonchan in his dream and leaped at him with its fangs bared. Blant dodged the oncoming bite attack and ran towards a desk with five Pokeballs on it. Each having a symbol on it representing fire, water, grass, electric, and fairy.
"Which one of these should I choose?" Blant panicked trying to decide which one to choose.
"I suggest hurrying up before the Rattata comes back to gets you." The Aura reader suggested.
"Rattata (I will kill you)!" The Rattata responded right on cue.
"Well I choose you!" Blant said feeling very excited while throwing the Pokeball with the grass symbol on it.
A flash of light came and after a couple seconds of materializing out came a Pokemon that resembles a blue plant bulb with a round body, beady red eyes, oval foot-like roots, and Five large leaves sprouted from its head but the middle leaf was a gold color instead of green.
"Oddish odd (oh yeah its my time to shine)." The Oddish said doing what looked like stretching.
Blant looked at the Pokemon in disbelief on what he just picked if anything he expected a Bulbasaur, deep down he really wanted that to be his starter after the great pokemon trainer Red his idol.
"New Pokemon registered would you like to review data?" The A.I. asked.
"Now is not the time for that we need to stop this Rattata." Blant said starting to get a little frustrated at his choice.
Then the Rattata saw Oddish and glared at it with intense hatred then charged it with a shadow like Aura surrounding it. Then it hit the grass-type with a very large thud and hit the wall leaving a dent.
"It was super effective." The A.I. said.
"What are you talking about?" Blant asked very confused.
"Shadow Pokemon are super effective to everything including itself and has no other weaknesses," The A.I. informed.
"Well that is great now what can I do I picked a Pokemon that probably only knows how to put thing to sleep, the professor is knocked out cold and this Rattata is trying to kill me." Blant said feeling a wave of anxiety washed over him.
"Oddish Oddish (You think you can beat me with that cheap shot, come at me with more than that lets do this)!" Oddish yelled seeming more determined to win.
As if Blant knew what Oddish was saying he then looked at the Rattata and got ready for a battle.
"Alright what moves does Oddish know." Blant asked the A.I.
"It currently knows Absorb, Sweet Scent, and Razor Leaf." The A.I. reported.
"Thanks, ok Oddish lets go use Absorb!" Blant Instructed.
Then a red beam shot from Oddish and hit the purple rat directly and it cried out in pain. Then little glowing orbs flew to Oddish and healed the small bruises on its body and gave him more energy.
"Oddish (I feel the relief from that)." Oddish said while having the aches leave his body and replaced by a soothing feeling.
"Rattata (How dare you, you will pay for that with your life)!" Rattata threatened.
"It's not very effective." She described. "Now it is using Quick attack."
Then Rattata took off at a high speed closing the gap between them and slammed hard against Oddish and he flew back again but it wasn't as bad this time, and he got back up like last time but Rattata didn't give the weed Pokemon a chance to attack and slammed into him with another shadow infused tackle knocking over a table sending research papers flying.
"Oddish no!" Blant yelled scared of the damage that the grass-type just took.
He then ran over to check the grass type and saw that it's body was covered in bruises but the Oddish was still breathing but was losing a battle with consciousness. Blant felt bad for the grass-type and pulled out its Pokeball about to return it when the Rattata came and tackled Blant causing him to tumble into the already flipped table.
"Rat Rattata (I told you you're gonna pay for it with your life)." The mouse boasted about to deliver the finishing blow.
"Ow that hurt, but oddish is going to die because of me" Blant thought.
"Oddish use Absorb again!" Blant ordered again as a last ditch effort.
The red beam hit the mouse again this time the mouse looked like it took more damage and it healed Oddish but not as much as last time and then grass-type moved out from the spot to gain some distance between them knowing it would be a futile effort considering how fast it can move.
"Oddish (That was close)." He sighed in relief.
"Not very effective." She repeated. "I Think you need to do more damage I suggest using more than just Absorb." The A.I. offered.
"I know that already get off my back!" Blant yelled at the A.I.
"Alright Oddish use Razor leaf quick!" Blant commanded.
"Oddish (Feel my wrath)!" Oddish yelled preparing to launch the attack.
Then Oddish shook the leafs on it's head and it sent out a barrage of gold and green razor sharp leafs at the purple mouse littering it's body with tiny cuts.
"Alright now catch it before it tries to escape." The A.I. ordered.
Then Blant pulled one of the empty Pokeballs out of his bag and threw it at the Shadow Rattata. The Pokeball hit the mouse Pokemon in the face and it got sucked inside the small sphere and it landed on the ground.
"Come on." Blant said crossing his fingers.
It shook three times on the tiled floor each shake more suspenseful than the last and after a few short seconds and stopped then it beep signifying that Rattata had been caught.
"Yeah we did it!" Blant cheered.
"Oddish odd (yeah we did it)!" Oddish also cheered.
But they both stopped cheering when the remembered that Prof. Oak was knocked out they both then ran over to his side to check if he was ok. After a quick inspection they both found that the professor was ok they both gave a sigh of relief.
"Hey what are you doing in here and what happened?" yelled one of Prof. Oak's Aides upon entering the building.
Blant then looked around the lab to see the full extent of the damage caused by their battle with the Rattata and saw a dent in the wall, research papers strewn across the floor and glass from the windows that Oddish accidentally broke when he used Razor Leaf.
"Well let me explain." Blant said then proceeded to tell the story leaving out the parts with Rattata being a shadow Pokemon.
"So you're telling me that an angry Rattata attacked the professor and you came in and saved him by using one of the Pokemon we were studying. The Aide questioned.
"Yes it's all true what I told you if you want I can show you the Rattata." Blant offered trying to convince the Aide.
But Prof. Oak then woke up and looked around at his trashed lab and almost fainted again, but Oddish went to his side to make sure he was okay the professor then patted the grass-type on his head, then noticed a boy and his Aide talking about something and got up to see what happened to his lab.
"What happened to my lab and how did this little one get out of his Pokeball?" Prof. Oak questioned with Oddish in his arms.
"Professor you are alright?" Exclaimed the Aide.
"Yes i'm fine just a little headache." He said and then remembered why he had that headache.
"Where is that Rattata I was attacked by?"
Blant then held up the Pokeball with his first caught pokemon and grinned at the professor who then frowned at him.
"I'm sorry to tell you but that Rattata belonged to another trainer." Prof. Oak explain with a quizzical look on his face. "How did you catch it?"
Blant didn't have the answer to his question and looked at the red and white ball and realized he had just became a Pokemon thief.
What is Blant gotten himself into and what will Prof. Oak do about Blant? Find out in the next chapter.
