Nethowin, thank you for the first review of my story! To let you know, I will attempt to post weekly, but since today is my birthday, I decided to do a release for a gift to all of you readers!

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon. All I own are my OCs and the plot.

Chapter 2: The Meeting

"Wait!"

I jerked into a sitting position on my bed, hand outstretched as if to prevent someone from leaving. I looked around, seeing the familiar sights of my bedroom.

That was a really weird dream. What happened? I wondered.

My mother called from downstairs.

"Silver, are you up yet? You promised to meet your friend before going to pick up your things from the Professor!"

I sighed. "Coming, Mom!"

I got dressed and went downstairs. My mother was at the stove, making pancakes.

"Happy fifteenth! It's a really big day today-the start of your journey!"

I sighed as I ate breakfast. "Is it really such a big deal, Mom? You're acting awfully happy… today…"

It hit me. Today was the same day my father disappeared, fifteen years prior. He had vanished on the day of my birth. I didn't know it then, but that was more than just coincidence. My mother then reminded me of my meeting with Gold. I then jumped up and ran out the door. Somehow, I heard my mother muttering something like, "I will never understand that boy…"

"Silver!"

"Gold, my man!"

Gold is my best friend. I've known him since we were young. He's around my height, and he has hair as dark as night, with a characteristic peak in the middle and unique golden eyes. He's really sneaky, and loves to play pranks.

"How's life been for you? I had a really weird dream last night. There was this voice-"

"And it asked you to answer some questions."

"Yeah. How'd you know that?"

"I had the same dream. Or at least, a very similar one. I can't shake the felling that this dream is incredibly significant."

"AAAHH!"

"Did you hear that?" I asked.

"Yeah. I can hear things I couldn't normally for some reason."

"Still, someone needs help, and I'm not gonna refuse them." I immediately dashed towards the direction the cries were coming from.

Gold followed, grumbling on how my chivalry was going to get me killed someday.

Gold and I found the cries, coming from an Eevee and Riolu under attack from a flock of psychotic Spearow. I chased off the flock, then turned to the Eevee and Riolu. I asked them if they were okay, and was shocked when they replied in a comprehensible manner.

"I'm fine, thank you," replied the Riolu.

"I've been better and-huh?" The Eevee seemed scared of us. No surprise, considering we were humans. "Oh no, we're gonna get captured before we even find those two that we were asked to find! Aura, run! Go find Silver and Gold!"

I was shocked. They were looking for us? Not only did that prove that something big was going on, but also that we were important figures in whatever was happening.

Gold looked incredulous. "Wait a moment... You're looking for us? Why?"

Aura had one eye closed for some-Oh, yeah. Aura Sight.

"They certainly appear to be the ones we are searching for, Nera-san. Why we were tasked with finding two humans who look as if they could not do anything...to...unh..."

I caught him in my arms as he collapsed. "Woah, take it easy there. You're hurt pretty bad." Suddenly, I had a sense of impending danger.

"Gold."

"Yeah?"

"Run. Now. Something really bad's coming-"

I was cut off as my vision flared white for a moment. I felt as though my heart was pounding its way out of my chest for a moment, then my skin tingled, as though thousands of needles were forcing their way out of it. Then, it felt as if every bone in my legs were shattered into countless pieces. The last things I saw before falling unconscious were my strangely fur-covered hands.

AN: Ouch, that sounds really painful. I hope our heroes are okay! Anyways, review, and if you flame, I'm gonna sic Teridax on you. Who's Teridax, you wonder? He'll show up in the story eventually!

Teridax: Shut up. You're not my boss.

Whatever. See all you readers next week!
