A/N:

Sorry about having an authors note at THE START of the chapter, but I have a legitimate excuse, I swear! Alright, first off, to anyone reading this fanfiction, I'm currently on vacation at the time of writing this chapter, so I wont be posting much/at all until I get back home. I have plans for, maybe, two chapters when I get back? I might get home at night or late in the day, so I cant promise anything D:

Anyway, this subconscious thought that Jack didn't really choose to think… IS QUITE POSSIBLY THE BEST SENTENCE I HAVE EVER WRITTEN! :D

Sadly, I have no idea how I did it, I was typing without thinkin- THAT'S IT, IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!

…Uh, sorry about the wait. LETS A GO!

I stood but fell at once; the silence of the desert was louder than it should have been.

I woke up for the first time that I can remember INSIDE a building.

"Uhh… Zack? How did we get here? Oh, wait, nevermind.", I suddenly remembered the night before, and shivered at my stupidity at how I reacted to demons showing up. I apparently am quite stupid when its night time. Huh, who would've guessed?

…Probably Zack.

"Dang it, Jack, stop waking me up by asking questions! I don't like thinking when I'm still asleep…", Zack woke up, annoyed at me for reasons he just explained.

"Oh, please, at least you didn't feel like you had drank too much alcohol and forgotten the night before.", I joked.

"Dude, you didn't think that."

"How do you keep reading my mind? Your kind of a dark type, so I don't get it."

"I guessed, you remind me of my younger brother…", Zack became silent, remembering his dead brother. Maybe he was remembering both, but I wouldn't ever be able to know that, since he's the one with mind-reading skills.

…Unless he just told me, but why do I keep proving MYSELF wrong? That should only be done by other pokemon! Well, I guess its just me being a… Me.

I snorted at my last thought, I'm such a terrible comedian, but I have a terrible sense of humor so at least I can laugh at my own stupid jokes.

"Whats funny?", Zack asked me.

"Nothing, but lets go downstairs. Do you have any berries?"

"Yep, heres an oran berry.", He handed me the berry he had just taken from the bag, and grabbed one for himself.

I ate it quickly, but apparently Zack can eat berries a lot faster. We head out of our hotel room and downstairs.

Tom greeted us,"You two are up! Great, Farfetch'd wanted us to tell you two that there are some part time jobs at the square. You can also go ahead and explore dungeons or maybe deal with outlaws for cash, but its up to you. Anyway, Jack, since you use a katana, you might want to think about getting lessons on using it. Theres a Gallade that teaches lessons on all swords. Anyway, that's it from me, have a nice day!"

"Wait, Jack, you said that your sword is made from mythril… Whats that?", Barry had apparently remembered his question from last night, but I still had no clue what mythril was…

"I don't know, I think its an alloy.", I answered.

"Oh well, thanks though, I might be able to get some information on what Mythril is somewhere…", Barry responded, and head outside along with Tom.

"So, Jack, we should probably go get a job, right?"

"Yup", I agreed.

We stood before a store selling musical instruments.

"Hey, dude, have you ever played an instrument?", Zack asked.

I thought about this for a moment. Even though I have amnesia, I would still be able to figure out if I ever played any. I wouldn't remember, but it would at least be familiar…

"Yeah, I think I have…", I responded slowly.

"Hmm, what instrument?"

"Piano… Electric guitar… Viola… And I think the flute…", Four instruments?! I wonder if that is even true…

"Oh, great! Maybe we could start a band!", Zack exclaimed, and I liked the idea, too.

"Hmm, then we should get instruments and start practicing, but what would we be called?", I suggested.

Zack decided to send my question back at me,"I don't know, what do you think we should call ourselves?"

Then I had an idea,"Aegis? The aegis? It sounds cool, and I like the word 'aegis', it's one of the best words that exist, I think."

"Great, then we will be called 'The Aegis'! I don't need an instrument, though."

I was confused by that statement,"Then how do you play music? Do you already have an instrument?"

"Jack, you know how zoruas and zoroarks can mimic noises? Lets just say that I can sing, and sound like a piano.", Zack smirked.

"Okay, then, I need an instrument. Lets get something."

I walked into the store and was greeted by a familiar face…

"Tom? You run this shop?"

"Yup, are you and Zack going to become musicians? That's a great idea, assuming you two know how to play music. Music is, after all, one of the most popular things here in northern Sinnoh."

"Sinnoh? Is that what this region is called?"

"Yep.", Tom answered.

"Anyway, to answer your question, we are gonna start a band, since Jack apparently knows how to play a few instruments.", Zack told Tom.

"What will it be called?"

"The Aegis.", I answered.

"Want to borrow an instrument to practice? I can let you two borrow it for free, since you two are… 'friends'.", Tom offered.

"Thanks! Do you have a Viola?", I accepted.

"Yep, you two should find a place to practice. Also, I'm letting you two borrow it for free, but if the instrument gets damaged, you two will have to pay.", Tom warned as he handed me a Viola.

"Okay, got it. Lets go, Zack!"

We practiced in a small clearing in Eternawood Forest, nearby town. I liked the song we had been playing, but we had a terrible ending, so I decided to mention such.

"Uh, this SOUNDS good, but we need to come up with a non-stupid ending."

"Good idea, but seriously, do I look stupid when I sing? Maybe I should make an illusion so I look like a riolu playing a piano, instead."

"Yeah, I cant disagree with that, and for the ending, maybe we should try doing a reverse of the beginning, but keep the last two notes?"

"Lets try it."

We practiced until the evening, and then decided to head back to the inn.

"Tomorrow, lets try to get a job playing music somewhere. On the other hand, lets come up with a few more songs first. Maybe we should play music on the streets?"

I was not amused. SO VERY NOT AMUSED, "We aren't homeless, we stay at an inn."

"Well, not just homeless people play music on the streets. That's really offensive to non-homeless people that play music on the street.", He wasn't amused, either.

"Oh well, lets just get back to the inn."

And then we were IN. Get it? Because we are IN an INN?

Damn these puns.

We walked into our room, and I felt no need to stay awake for any longer.

I fell asleep, with the plans for tomorrow in mind.

A/N:

I got a review from someone who gave me a lot of helpful criticism! Thank you, Consarn, and though you probably aren't ever going to read this message, I kept in mind what you had said about the cursing. I cant really disagree about the high-levels of curse words. I should fix that one day, but for now, the main focus is getting chapters out, right? I mean, I do plan on rewriting this ONE DAY.

Also, Dranicus101, thank you for your continued support! HAVE AN AWESOME FLYING COOKIE THAT IS MADE OF RAINBOWS. Lol, it also tastes like rainbows.

…Wait a sec, its made of rainbows so… I just said the obvious. xD

I should probably fix the first chapter before finishing this fanfic, though, since the first chapter IS what grabs the readers attention. Once again, Consarn, you are an extremely helpful person, and not in a bad way. You may have a cookie, too, but not as radical as Dranicus's since I kinda only had one Rainbow Cookie…

Oh well, a cookie IS a cookie no matter what sooooo…

Also, I mentioned at the beginning of this chapter that I'm on vacation, but why make this a time of boredom to anyone that reads this fanfiction? I'm only assuming I have at least a few people reading this other than the peeps that I already know are, so yeah…

Uhm, anyway, as I was saying, why make this a time of boredom?

…Even though anyone reading this would not get bored in the slightest when I didn't post a chapter on a certain day. Oh well, I should probably finish what I was going to say, though.

IM GONNA ACCEPT SUGGESTIONS FOR STUFF THAT HAPPENS IN THIS STORY NOW! IF YOU HAVE AN OC YOU WOULD LIKE TO APPEAR IN THIS STORY, OR MAYBE AN IDEA FOR SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS, TELL ME IN YOUR REVIEW OR PM ME, EITHER OPTION WORKS!

Okay, I'm done with caps-lock now…

OH WAIT, NO IM NOT, MUHAHAHAHAHA!

Okay, fine, I'll stop.

Anyway, I'll be accepting these suggestions until… Maybe I when my vacation is over? Nah, I'll decide when some other time, but for now, I hope I end up getting more than one or two suggestions… Unfortunately, I'm kind of a not-well-known-and-not-the-best-at-this-thing-called-"writing"-but-I-still have-skills-at-being-creative…

Well, kind of, I did invent my own mixed-genre universe for a later story, and I guess I was pretty clever when making it, but eh. What does it matter, peeps?

Oh, and can anyone guess what my favorite word is? Its not really a word, though…

Its "Uhm"

So very original. Im being serious, I've never heard of anyone else who's favorite word is a sound made when one is thinking. Okay, I could continue writing stuff no one truly cares about forever, but it has to stop at SOME point, right? I know you are probably mentally agreeing with me, reader, so lets finish this Authors Notes, shall we?

"Please review, and thank you in advance!"

Cya! (Someday…)
