It was going to happen sooner or later.
Everybody dreams of being put in a story, or movie, or an anime or even game.
But when it actually happens to you? That's when it gets scary.
I went to bed, in a nice, comfy hotel, ready to board a plane for my next flight home, and now where am I?
In a forest.
A FOREST!
Okay, think. Think. What's your name?
Wait, what is my name?
Ugh! Okay, ignore that. Where are you?
I get up, pinching myself to see if this is real. I hope that I just wake up and go home like this weird dream never happened.
I feel a sting, and decide to say, Screw it! If I'm in a different world then so be it! I just have to find out which world I'm in.
I pick myself off the ground and check to see what I'm wearing.
I seem to have on a black jacket with gray accents, and the same can be said for my shoes and pants.
I also seem to have a backpack. I quickly open it, and inside is a map, a pair of sunglasses, another jogging set, this one yellow, 300 dollars with a P symbol on the front, and 6 red and white balls.
A clue, but I need to check what it is.
I picked up one of the spheres and checked it. It had a button, so I pressed it. It enlarged.
Another clue. Now all I need is a magical creature to walk up to me and try to flame me alive.
I hear a rustling behind me and I turn around to see long grass. A part of it is shaking, and a little bird flies out holding a black baseball cap.
Only I don't mean little like a robin. It's not big, but it's big compared to my last world. It's mainly black but has red and white accents.
"Fletchling?"
Pokemon.
Pokemon.
POKEMON.
Of all worlds, why my second favorite. The games and the anime are a lie. People like Captain Moonshine know how it is. It's dangerous. A wild Poocheyana could kill you if you don't watch out.
And I know where I am. Forest, Fletchling, I'm sure where I am.
Kalos. Alright kid, think. You don't have powers, but you still have your brain and body, and you seem to have basic pokemon gear. Standard trainer gear. Just like the male pokemon trainer at the beginning of the games, but mainly black and purple.
I decide to take the baseball cap from it. It cries in delight and flies off.
I decided to take it carefully and grab the trees. I run up it, and start jumping the trees. I'm pretty athletic and pretty short, so between my speed and size, nobody notices me.
I'm starting to think that the games only let you go to the major cities because I passed by a lot of towns and routes to reach Vaniville town.
I jumped down from the tree. For the past few days, I've been doing this routine. Move from 9:00 am to 5:pm during the day, take a nap, move from 9:00 pm to 5: am. I know that's probably not healthy, and even then, I've been running out of money. Turns out that mat pat is wrong. The money seems to be equal to USD, which is good. I still have virtually nothing.
I pass by a laboratory while sprinting. I don't pay much attention to it, but I hear a cry, then a loud bang, followed by more cries and more bangs. I immediately hid behind a bush.
I turn around to see people in red and white business suits. They all have red hair, and only one of them looks remotely different, with different body shapes and haircuts.
Okay. you know nothing about generation VI. you know that it's relatively different compared to other regions and that you have absolutely no pokemon. How are you going to help?
Alright, think. Whoever world hopped me must be up to date, right? If that's true, then Galar must be in this, right?
If that's true, then mega evolution, z-moves, Dynamax, there all here. And knowing it, it probably is going to have me face these all, right?
I look over the bush, and a bunch of electrodes, klinklang, magneton, dedenne, emolga, and metangs. Most are in cages, but some are on the floor. After the people go into the laboratory, I go and check on the dedennes on the floor. What I see isn't pretty.
They're fainted, barely alive.
You may have thought that this was going to be easy, just grind up and beat the gym challenge? No. This is a different superhero story. A different self insert.
I check their pulse.
Small, but very bad.
I put each in a Pokeball. I plan on releasing them.
"Hone…"
I turn around and see a Honedge on the floor. I run to it, and quickly rack my brain for anything I should know.
Honedges can drain people's life force, right?
I grab the hilt and prepare for a very dangerous maneuver. I wrap the blue cloth on my arm.
Immediately I feel more drained than ever in my life. The exhaustion from running ten days straight? Nothing compared to this. The pokemon glows green, and it's eye opens.
I fall on my behind.
"Hey there, little buddy," I say as it floats upward. It sees me and floats backward.
I pick myself up, ignoring the fatigue building up. "How are you? Doing okay?" The Sword pokemon looks me up and down before tilting his head.
"Yeah, I'm okay," I say, and it seems to be the right answer.
"Blink once for yes, blink two times for no. Do you have a family?"
The sword pokemon blinks once, and it's scarf thingy droops.
"These people in the red suits fainted them?" One blink.
One, slow blink.
"Alright. I'm going in there and freeing the rest. You don't have to come with." I tell the sentient silver sword. I walk forward.
I peek through the window. Multiple generators are being prepped as the electric and steel pokemon are being shipped to the basement.
A small poke shakes my focus and I turn to see a silent Honedge.
"You really want to come with me?" I ask it incredulously. It blinks once.
"Alright, but don't say I didn't warn you. Here's the plan."
I vault through a window on the second floor, hat off. I walk in the shadows.
I walk into a room and see a large door. Two grunts are there.
"Hey, do you think the boss will let us off early?" the first one says.
"Na, he usually doesn't. He'll also get mad at the small scene we left outside." the second, smaller one said.
"Hey!" a smoother voice said. The two grunts looked and saw a smaller grunt walk up to them.
"Boss told me that I should switch with one of you two. He wants you to clean up the mess outside." the grunt said.
"I'll do it," the smaller one said. "Did Xerosic say anything?"
"No, he didn't." The third grunt said.
The second grunt walked out of the room. The third grunt walked to his position and decided to keep talking.
"So, did you watch the last luminoise conference?" the last grunt asked.
The First grunt didn't say anything as the other grunt walked towards them.
"Ugh, what do you- ACK!" the grunt screams as a blade smacks it upside the head.
The other grunt looked around before a boot embedded itself in his face. They both were knocked out cold.
"Good job, Honedge," I say. It turns out that waiting for things can help in this world. I grab the keys from the grunt and unlock the doors.
Inside are cages. Multiple pokemon are in there, and I see an aegislash.
I break every single door and find a machine for healing pokemon. I put the captured ones in the machine, and when it's done, release them.
Honedge is with the Aegislash, and it seems to be happy.
"Alright everyone out the window! We don't have much time before they come back. If you see anyone with a red suit and red hair, don't hesitate to knock them out." I say as I open the window. The pokemon run outside, and I turn to see the Aegislash and Honedge.
"Come on, we don't have much time before they come." I gesture, and the aegislash comes out. Honedge follows them but turns and wraps its cloth around my arm.
I feel my energy come back, and Honedge waves come on.
"Bang"
"Gahhh!" I scream and lift my arm. It's cut, and I turn to see a Zubat.
"Did you really think that you could getaway? This is Team Flare you messing with" the grunt from earlier days. It looks like he's going to continue.
"Yada Yada Yada. Can we please get to the part where I kick your butt? Or do we have to continue to listen to your little monologue?" I say, shocking the admin with my disregard of his monologue.
"Don't disrespect Team Flare like that! Zubat! U-turn!" the Grunt said.
"Zu!" The purple bat cries and its wings glow green.
"Honedge, ready for a fight?" I ask the sword.
"Hone!" it says determinedly.
"Alright! Let them know what we're made of! Honedge! Go!"
A white, glass force field appears and Zubat smacks into it.
The bat falls and flies back to the owner.
"Reflect, then. Alright! Our turn!" Honedge, use Shadow Sneak!" I say.
Shadow Sneak is how Honedge was able to get past the guards. It literally is almost like teleport, in the sense, you can travel very fast while nobody sees you, but it deals a lot of damage.
Honedge sinks into the ground, and a dark misty smoke comes from his last position.
"Zubat, Dodge it!" the grunt says
Zubat flies upwards, but Honedge easily appears from beside it. It swung its blade at the opposing pokemon and easily was able to knock the opposing cave menace to the ground.
"Zubat, Air slash!" the grunt calls.
Zubat's wings glow white, and it sends a bunch of crescent-shaped projectiles at honedge.
"Dodge and use swords dance!" I called. He floats to the left, and ten brown swords spin and clash against each other
10 blue swords surround Honedge's body, and it glows red.
'"Swords dance increases our attack! Now! Shadow Sneak!"
He sinks into the ground and smashes into Zubat. It falls to the floor, knocked out.
A light blue aura flashes on Honedge's body, and quickly goes away.
"Hey, you leveled up!" I congratulate, and honedge raises its scarf in joy.
"Return!" The grunt pulls out a small Pokeball. The ball enlarges and shoots a light blue light, and the pokemon is sucked into the ball. He then runs away as more grunts walk in.
"Emolga, use a Thunder Shock!" I call out behind me. One of the Emolga's body sparks up and cuts the wires at the side of the room.
The wire sparks, and catches on fire.
"Everyone out!" the fat one says. He looks at me with a face of pure disgust.
"My name is Xerosic, and I swear if you get in our way again, I will kill you. Mark it." the fat one said.
He walked out of the room, and Emolga and honedge flew outside of the window.
"Go! This place is about to blow!" I scream. Everybody else is going.
"Den..." a faint voice cries.
"Crap." There's a dedenne here.
I rush to the wires, and I find a dedenne on the floor. I pick it up and rush outside the window.
"BOOM"
The lab explodes and I'm pushed forwards to a tree.
The last thing I remember before going out is the pokemon's worried faces.
Flash.
"It's okay." I hear. I open one eye and see a man in a business suit, with black hair.
"Don't die on us, ya hear." I turn my head to the left, ignoring the burning pain. I see a rather tall woman in a blue shirt.
"I…" I start. The two look at me, and briefly I think I'm not supposed to be saying anything.
"Won't." I finished.
I turn back to the right, and right next to the man, is Honedge's worried scarf.
A.N. Hey everyone! Thanks for reading to the end of this story! I know that this may seem bad now, but I hope that you stick around for the next chapters!
