Distorted Memories
Being born in a world without pokemon it was considerably strange that I had woken up to a houndoom licking my face. I stared at it, trying to make sense of what strange dream I was having, while it just stared at me happily. I felt a growing headache that felt very real. So I pinched myself.
"Ouch" I said in pain. This was reality I wasn't dreaming that's for sure. I thought of testing it further but decided against it due to the stinging pain in my cheeks.
I scanned my head for any memories, but I had none, except for my name, Glaze. My appearance didn't seem vastly different except for the light blue hair and purple eyes and me looking about 2-3 years younger than I was. I had just turned 18 I think.
I then took a look at the room I was in. It was way bigger than any room Id ever owned. I was asleep in a king sized bed with sheets that seemed extremely room had huge cupboards and a Window that revealed a garden below.
"Seems like I'm in a mansion of sorts or at least an extremely wealthy household" I say walking around the room.
"Almost expected I was in a mystery dungeon game with this amnesia" I say looking at the houndoom.
'But why haven't I forgotten about pokemon, I'll need to get information' I think to myself.
So I tiptoed down the stairs trying to avoid making too much noise with the houndoom following behind. Reaching downstairs and confirming the size of it I had concluded it was indeed a mansion.
"Good Morning Sir Glaze" A voice spoke.
"Er..yeah Good Morning" I said uttering a reply to the unexpected greeting.
It was a man dressed in a tuxedo, a butler I assumed.
"You're parents are waiting for you in the dining hall" He continued "and good luck with the school tournament".
With that he beckoned me to follow him.
'A tournament ,I'm so confused I guess I'll meet my 'parents' ' I think as I follow him.
-Dining Hall
Arriving at the dining hall I was greeted by a huge table and two figures.
"Glaze you shouldn't be late on a day like this" The man spoke.
"Yeah..There's a tournament right?" I said.
"Yes and I don't think I've seen you practicing much for it" He replied.
"Yeah I've been having a bit of a headache for the past few days so my memories a bit distorted"I say clutching my head.
"A headache?Well we should check in with a doctor" The woman says taking out what I assume is a phone.
"No NO I'm FiiiNe..it's just I need to refresh my memory, yeah" I say an actual headache making it's way to me.
They look at each other then back at me.
"For instance..." I take a breath "You two are my parents correct?" I say rubbing my head.
"Of course we are" The woman says looking at me strangely.
"Yeah I know I'm probably just tired" I say.
I sit down at the table and begin to eat as I try to comprehend the situation I'm in. 'Apparently I'm a rich kid in the pokemon world, with no idea about my past, with a tournament to attend, I have no idea how to proceed' I sigh at my thoughts.
After munching through some pancakes and sipping some tea. I proceeded to follow the butler from earlier, he explained that I needed to get ready.
"Glaze seemed different today" The woman said.
"Yes, he didn't display any childish behaviour or badmouth the servants" The man said.
"You're right, he might be improving after all" The woman smiled.
"Yes, it does seem so, I guess I was worried for nothing" The man said taking out a pokeball from his coat.
-Glaze's Room
I was handed clothes which I changed into. They seemed to be a perfect fit. A black shirt and jeans with black sunglasses on my hair seemed to not need any work as it was naturally straight.
A knock on the door caught my attention as the butler from before entered.
"All done Sir Glaze?" I nod "Then let us head to the dragonite stables" he says as i follow him out of the room.
'Dragonite stables am I about to ride a Dragonite' I think with a hint of glee.
-Dragonite Stables
The stables were filled with about a dozen of dragonite with riding gear fitted on them. They seemed friendly as I approached them.
"These dragonite have been especially breeded by a friend of mine as you know.." My father spoke to one of the stables caretakers.
"Glaze" My father spoke eyeing me up.
He then took out a pokeball from his pocket and handed it to me.
"Here,this is your pokemon, it's been a while since you've used him" he said handing me the ball.
I grasp it in my hand.'My own pokemon' I think.
I press the button and out comes a black and white dark type pokemon that looks similar to a wolf.
"Absol Absol" He says.
My future looked bleak but at least I had a pokemon now.
