I thought I would be stuck in the same routine, continuing my life of being a human in this sad world. I would continue my day hearing the ac blowing in my ear, and hearing something cooking in the kitchen. I would hear my dog barking and annoying me to no end. Then I would deal with whatever I need to do and just go back to sleep. I wanted to have some change in my life.
Never in my life did I want to hear my mundane life again.
All I heard were chains and whispers with the door shutting. That does not sound like my house nor any place that makes me feel safe. I opened my eyes when I woke up. I woke up in a cell with a table with a person and something else that I couldn't focus on because of my tiredness. The cell looked familiar, but I couldn't focus on that. I tried to move my arms, but it felt like shackles on my wrists. I tried to look again at the table, but there was an image that shocked me to get rid of my weariness.
There was a freaking Gengar on the table that looked like it was eating something from the person. Now I am a fan of Pokemon, but looking at it from a real perspective, it looks scarier than usual. The Gengar has a more prominent ethereal look to it, and it looks more menacing with the joker face to it. Honestly it;s just missing the white paint and the green scar.
Again, when I am looking at the scene, it seems to be familiar, but it wasn't important.
I tried to shake my bonds again, but it wasn't budging. I tried to desperately move my bonds again, but then I heard cackling. I looked back at the Gengar, and it was laughing at me! It was enjoying my troubles right now so I did the one thing that seemed sensible at the time.
I kicked my shoe at it and managed to land it on its face. It hit right at the stupid joker face.
…
…
…
Clearly, I didn't put enough effort into the plan. Or I wasn't awake right now. Who knows?
The Gengar morphed his face to a scowl and decided to stop whatever it was doing. I was getting nervous, and the Gengar punched my stomach with a Sucker Punch! Now I know Gengar doesn't have good physical stats to it, but that FUCKIN HURT! It was like when I was getting hit with a heavy tv on my stomach! At least I wasn't in a dream, however comforting or depressing that would be.
I gagged a bit and tried to focus on looking straight. The Gengar had a more sadistic look to its face as it prepared what looks like a Shadow Claw on me. I closed my eyes with the waiting hit. This was not the way I wanted to go out. I prayed to God and Arecus that I get a painless death. I waited for the hit, but it never came. I decided to open my eyes and was greeted with a cute sight.
In front of my eyes was a small pink cat with the cutest blue eyes floating in front of my face. I was stunned. What was Mew doing here? Mew then had glowing eyes, and suddenly my wrists felt like they were released. I felt pain in my stomach when I tried to move. Mew then glowed and released what I assume was a Heal Pulse to me. I instantly felt better from the hit I took from Gengar. I checked my wrists and realized I look different than what I look like.
I look younger than what I was supposed to look like. Maybe around 17 to 18? Maybe even older. I still kept my black hair, but I seem more fit in my body. I was also dressed in a black and red jacket with a picture of a skull on my pouch and a scythe on my back. In my jacket was just a black t-shirt that says "FUCK YOU". I was also wearing black pants with red stripes going down to my shoes that were black as well. I also had a black backpack near me.
I need to complain about who dressed me in this. I like the color black, but this was too much of it all over me. Especially the skull and the scythe. I twitched at the message on my shirt since I feel like whoever dropped me here is saying that. I seem like an edge lord. I felt my face with my hands, and it seemed way too smooth with little to no fat on it. I also seem to have a change in my body as well.
I shake my head. That wasn't important right now, and I need to escape. I decided to check on the person so that we can try to escape together. I went to the table with Mew following me. I saw that the Gengar was bleeding on the wall and passed the door. Great, he deserves it, that asshole. I saw the person and immediately froze.
I saw a purple-haired girl that is nearly the same age I am with a black jacket with gray sleeves and a yellow collar. She was also wearing black pants and black shoes with a yellow stripe on the tip of her shoes. She seems to carry a black and purple purse. I recognized her where she was from, and I just realized where I was and how screwed I was.
Pokemon was already hard enough, but there were some levels of safety and courtesy that allowed the series to be safe in general. Not here! In Pokemon Insurgence, there is no subtlety in its danger. There were mass murdering cultists and powerful legendary in every fuckin corner. I groaned at my situation and thought that I'm screwed. How can I survive in this world when I am gonna deal with cultists and shit!?
Mew looks at me with its blue eyes and nudges me. I looked back at it and it gave me a worried look. I shake my head again. There wasn't time to deal with that. The first thing I need to do is wake the protagonist up. I went to the girl and shook her.
"Hey, wake up."
The girl seems to be waking up and groaning around. I backed up to give her some room. "Ugh… Where am I?" the girl asks. "Not anywhere safe." She turned and looked up and down at me.
"Is there a reason you look like an edge lord?"
I had a tick mark on my head, and I heard Mew laughing in the background. "I don't want to hear that from you." I retorted. She shrugs and gets off of the table. We both decided to walk toward the exit with Mew following us. Then Mew went to the front of and passed the girl a note.
"What is this?" she asked. "I think it's for you." She opens the note and I decide to look over it.
Hello! I sent Mew to help you out because of its special ability, like how every mystical and Legendary Pokémon has a unique ability. Mew is able to do what no other can, if you give Mew the DNA of a human then it would allow you to transform into that person, disguising you. This should be helpful in your escape.
Signed Your Benefactor
"I think someone sent you a guardian angel." I joked to bring up our spirits. She giggled, and we decided to get out of here. I decided to lead and go to the ritual room since that was where the DNA we needed was going to be. Not that she needed to know that and get suspicious.
"So what's your name? I'm Mika, I think."
"You think?" I asked, though I knew the reason she was struggling.
"My head feels weird, and I can't seem to remember much."
I nodded understanding that Mika went through a Dream Eater from a Gengar. "I wouldn't worry about it too much." I reassured her. She gave me a cute smile.
…
Where did that come from?
"So what's yours?" She asked.
"My name is ...hmm?" I try to give out my name, but I can't seem to remember it. I try to look hard into my memory, but I can't seem to remember it. I stopped and started to go into panic.
Why can't I remember my name?
Why can't I remember my name?
WHY CAN'T I REMEMBER MY NAME!?
"HEY!"
I snapped back into control and looked back to Mika. She was shaking me out of my panic. I don't know why I lost control, but I need to pull myself together to get through this. Mew was again looking at me worried again.
"Sorry, I went through a little panic." I knew it wasn't small, but I can't exactly tell anyone or they might not trust me ever. She gave me a troubled look but didn't push it. "So I don't seem to remember my name," I said with a bit of false laughter. She didn't really buy it. I decided to try and make a joke. "At least your name sounds pretty." I widened my eyes and tried to bite my mouth, but it was already said.
She blushes at my statement and tries to bring it down. "Well thank you..." She said shyly. WHY DID I SAY THAT?! I CAN'T SAY THAT TO SOMEONE I ONLY KNEW FOR A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME!
She refocused and looked at me with still a bit of dusting on her face. "Why don't I come up with a name for you then?"
"Sure why not. I am bad with names anyway." It's true that I can't name shit. Hopefully, when I get my pokemon I can think of a good name for them if it comes to that. She is now trying to think of a name for me. "What about Shin?" I sort of deadpanned at that, but just signed afterward. "I guess good enough." It's not like I can think of a better name anyway.
She pouted at me for that, and we continued walking till we reached the ritual room. I decided to check at the circle where there was old blood for us to collect the DNA. Mika was a little disgusted by that.
"What the hell happened here!?" She freaked out. "I'm assuming that it's a ritual circle and they had a sacrifice here." I said while trying not to seem too knowledgeable. "Hey, can you try to collect the DNA from this so we can escape?" Mika nodded hesitantly and brought Mew with her. Mew then disguised her as the female Darkrai Cultist. Not gonna lie, the cultist that was sacrificed looks pretty good even though Mika looks better in her original form.
…
Where the fuck did that thought process came from?! I have shit experience when it comes to relationships!
I shake my head rapidly to get my mind to be clear. Both Mew and Mika looked at me funny but continued on anyway. We went around the base to find the exit and ended up finding doors with a DNA scan. Thankfully it works so we can continue on to find the exit.
We explored the area carefully, and I spotted some supplies such as potions, status heals, and repels in the base. I even found a TM and some money on the tables, though that did worry me. There weren't any TMs in the original game and thinking back on it, the Gengar was using physical moves. I know that Persphone's Gengar only knows special moves and no physical moves ever. So does that mean Pokemon can learn more than four moves and was there anything different in this world? I can check that later when I escape with Mika. We searched around and eventually, we found it, but there was a guard standing by.
"What should we do, Shin?" Mika asked. I was thinking about our exit plans since I don't want to risk going to the meeting since I'm not disguised at all. I also don't want to risk just because I have meta-knowledge. I then saw a wrench and had an idea. I decided to tell Mika the plan so that she can talk with the guard and lead them to a hallway, and I can hit them over the head.
She agreed with the plan. She decided to lure the guard out toward me. I then smack hard on their head, and they ended up dropping down. "Nice Job Shin." She said.
"Thanks, Mika. Now time to see if they have anything useful" I decided to rummage through the person and took their cash and any other supplies that might be useful. "Isn't that cruel, Shin?" "They're cultists. I think it's fair play. Besides, who knows what they would do to you if we were still stuck there?" I retorted. She blanched and agreed with me.
We then went toward the exit and got out of there quickly. We decided that we needed to get as far from here as possible and ran into the forest. I, unfortunately, had a bad feeling that this was the start of my troubles, and it is gonna go downhill from here.
I was thinking so much in my head that I didn't see a pair of blue eyes looking at my direction and following me through the forest.
Hey, MessyReaper here. So I decided to make my new story here. Now you are wondering what happened to my last story and if you don't care, SCREW YOU! I decided to delete that because I was going through some trouble and honestly I didn't feel like it was that great. Too many plot holes and too much bullshit I was creating. I also was not keeping up with it because of know, life, and COVID. It didn't seem to do that great with the zero reviews so I decided to trash that story. I am now writing a new story with Pokemon Insurgence but with a twist! My surprise is not only a self-insert but also new changes to the plot and something else! Anyways it would be helpful for you to write a review as always and thanks for reading the story. I also don't own anything from this franchise of both Pokemon and Pokemon Insurgence and future "features." I will put that disclaimer up later.
