Chapter 1: She's Lost

Luckey's POV

"Thank you so much for coming to Olive Garden! Have a wonderful night!" I said, smiling at my final table that just got up.

"You too! You were a wonderful waitress." My guest said, who was an older lady dressed in pink.

I smiled at her compliment. "Thank you so much." I said, as I walked over to the table to clear off the rest of the dishes. I didn't feel like waiting on the busser, so I just did it myself so I could go home faster. I was tired, and I haven't been sleeping well lately.

I picked up the remainder of the dishes off the table, and seen the lady had left me a $20 tip. I smiled at this kind gesture. A lot of people don't know what servers go through, so it was nice to get tips like this. I slipped the $20 bill in my apron pocket.

I dropped the dishes off in the dish pit, and went to grab a towel to wipe the table off with. I hurried to my section, because this was my ticket out of here. I couldn't wait.

I quickly wiped the table down, and went to the back to put the towel back in the sanitation bucket. I hurried over to the POS to print out my check out slip.

"Hey, Luckey!" I heard a familiar voice behind me shout. It was Britney, our bartender. She was pretty much the only friend I had made since I moved here to Cary, North Carolina. I was originally from Sumter, South Carolina. She joined me over at the POS.

I turned to look at her. "Yeah, Britney?" I said, as my slip printed out.

"What are you doing tonight?" She asked, as she pulled her phone out.

I shrugged. "Nothing really." I said. I looked at my totals for the evening. I did a little happy dance when I saw I didn't owe the restaurant anything. I then looked over to Britney. "Why, what's up?" I asked.

"A couple of other people and I are going downtown tonight to grab some drinks and play Pokemon Go. Did you want to come?" Britney asked.

I thought about it for a moment. I was tired, but I couldn't pass up a good Pokemon Go session with some booze filled fun. I had just turned 21 not too long ago, so I was finally legal. I was an avid Pokemon fan, also.

"Sure, I'm down. Where did you want to go for drinks?" I asked, as I got my slips together to give to the manager.

Britney looked like she was thinking for a moment. "How about Louie's? It's right downtown and they have some awesome drink specials." She said.

I nodded. "I'm down. Are you off now?" I asked.

"Yes. Are you?" She asked.

"Sure am. Just gotta go give my slips to David and I'll be out." I said, as I picked up the pile of receipt paper.

"Okay," Britney said. "I'll wait for you outside so we can leave at the same time."

I started walking to David's office so I could give him my slips. "Heard!" I yelled behind me.

I walked into the kitchen and in the back to the office. The door was closed, so I knocked on the door.

Tap tap tap.

David answered the door, while on the phone. He motioned for me to put the slips on his desk, so I obliged.

'Have a good night.' He mouthed to me.

"You too." I said, quietly so I didn't disturb his call. I speed walked out of the kitchen and to the front door.

"Have a good night, Luckey!" Sydney, one of our hosts, said.

I waved behind me. "You too!"

I walked out the door and to my car, which was an old black 2001 Mustang convertible. A present from my mom when I moved out a few months ago. I moved to Cary because I planned on attending college here in the fall. However, I loved my Mustang, even though it could use some new paint and a new top.

Pulling out my keys, I used my fob to unlock the door. Opening the door, I plopped down into the seat, the Mustang Horse symbol right in my lap on the steering wheel.

I started it, and noticed Britney had pulled up next to me in her Volkswagen Jetta.

It was a fairly beautiful night, so I went ahead and put my top down. I rolled down my windows.

"Do you want me to just follow you?" I asked, as I worked on putting my music on.

"Yeah that's fine. Downtown isn't that far from here anyway, it's like 5 minutes up the road." She said.

I nodded. "Alright, go ahead." I said, as I put the car in drive.

Britney drove in front of me, and I followed right behind her. Having it clear, we turned out of Olive Garden's parking lot.

Enjoying feeling the wind around me, I took my straight, jet black hair out of my pony tail. I felt a sort of free feeling as I felt the wind blow my hair.

I continued to follow Britney, until I saw the signs for Downtown Cary pop up, showing that we weren't too far away.

I grabbed my phone, and opened Pokemon Go. The game launched, vibrating rapidly letting me know that some Pokemon had spawned. I looked up, seeing Louie's Sports Bar & Grill lumbering into view. Britney gave her right turn signal, and I turned mine on.

We turned into the parking lot, which wasn't too crowded, considering it was a Friday night. Britney and I both found parking spots next to each other.

I put my Mustang in park; rolling the windows up and putting the top back on. I looked down at my phone to see an Eevee, Vulpix, and a Gastly had spawned. I tapped the Gastly first, seeing how ghost types were my favorite typing. I even had a license plate frame on my car that said Ghost Type Master on it.

I threw a poke ball at it, and it wiggled a few times. I had caught it. I saw the stats on it. It was a decently sized Gastly, had a CP of 607, and it was a male. I wasn't far from getting a Haunter, I had to catch one more maybe two more Gastly.

I got out of the car, and joined Britney's side. The vibrating of bass rattled from the inside the bar. I looked at my phone, noticing there was a gym right next door that was Team Mystic.

"I'm taking out that gym!" Britney said. "When we sit on the far left of the bar, we'll be able to reach it while we drink." Unfortunately though, Britney was Team Valor. I was Team Instinct.

We walked into the loud bar, where I Got You by Bebe Rexha blared over the speaker.

We waited at the host stand together, until a short, brown haired girl with glasses greeted us. She smiled.

"Hi! Just two of you?" She asked, as she picked up two menus and some silverware.

"Yes." Britney and I both said in unison.

"Did you want to sit at the bar or did you want a table?" The host asked.

"A table is fine as long as we're in range of the Pokemon Gym. Preferably on the left side of the building." Britney said.

The host giggled. "Eversince Pokemon Go has come out, everyone always requests that. I think I have one more table available over there. Let me check." She looked in the computer, as she pushed her glasses up. She tapped on the screen. "I sure do," she said, as she picked up the silverware and menus. "You can follow me this way."

We followed her to the far left of the building. I felt on my pants to make sure I had my wallet in my pocket, which I did. The host sat us at the table in the far left corner.

"Y'all enjoy your night with us!" The host said, she sat the silverware and menus down. The drink menus were already on the table.

Britney and I sat down, as we started looking at the menu.

"Were you gonna eat too or just drink?" I asked, as I looked down at the drink menu. The Red Apple Sangria caught my eye, as did the Blue Hawaiian.

"I don't know yet." Britney said, as she looked at the menu.

"Hey there ladies, how are y'all doing tonight?" Our waitress greeted, as she put coasters on our table.

I looked up at her and smiled. "I'm good thank you, yourself?" I asked.

She pulled out her server book. "Not too bad, my name is Catherine and I'll be taking good care of you ladies tonight. May I recommend our Red Apple Sangria or a Sex on the Beach for you ladies tonight?" She asked.

I thought for a moment. "I'll try the Red Apple Sangria." I said, as I pulled out my wallet to get my ID out.

"Okay." Catherine said, smiling that I took her drink recommendation. She turned her attention to Britney.

Britney skimmed over the menu. "I'll take the Frozen Mango Margarita." She said, as she presented her ID to the waitress. I handed her mine as well.

"Okay, awesome ladies." She said, as she confirmed our ages and wrote down our drink order. "Can I get y'all an appetizer, maybe some wings or loaded nachos to share?" She asked.

The wings sounded really good to me. "Wanna get some wings?" I asked Britney.

"Sure." She said.

"We'll take a bone-in buffalo 10 piece." I said.

Catherine took down our order. "Okay ladies, I'll go ahead and put that in for you."

Britney and I handed her our menus, as she walked off.

Britney and I pulled out our phones. I launched Pokemon Go, and saw she did the same.

The screen loaded, showing we were right in range of the gym, that was now Instinct.

"Yes! It's an instinct gym now!" I said to Britney, teasing a little.

I tapped the assign button, so I could put one of my Pokemon in the gym. I decided to pick Misdreavus, which had a decent CP of 1278.

"Not for long!" Britney teased, jokingly. She swept her blonde ponytail to the side as her blue eyes concentrated on the screen.

Catherine returned to the table with our drinks. My sangria looked amazing. It was bigger than what I expected it to be.

"Here you ladies go." She said, as she put down Britney's margarita that looked amazing. "Your wings will be out shortly."

I sipped on my sangria. It was really good. The sweet taste of juicy red apples and Moscato wine hit my tongue. "Thank you!" I said to her, as she walked away.

I looked down at my game to see if anymore Pokemon had spawned, but nothing yet.

Britney sipped on her margarita, while tapping aggressively on her phone. She was trying to take over the gym. I giggled a bit watching her put her might into all those taps.

Just then, Catherine appeared with our wings. "Can I get you ladies anything else?" She asked, as she sat the wing basket down.

I looked at my sangria, and realized I had already drank half of it. "Can I have another sangria and a shot of Patron?" I asked, deciding I was gonna let loose a little.

"Make that two shots." Britney said.

"Alright." Catherine said. "Two shots of patron and another red apple Sangria. I'll be right back." She said, walking away.

I turned my attention back to my phone, as I reached for a chicken wing. I tapped on the gym stop, and spinned it; revealing 2 pokeballs, a great ball, and a pinap berry.

I nibbled on the wing, as I watched the gym now turn Red. I smirked. "Finally got the gym, huh?" I said, teasing Britney.

"You bet your sweet ass I did!" Britney exclaimed. I could tell she was getting tipsy off her margarita. I tapped on the gym, to see she had put a Flareon in there.

Catherine then showed up with my sangria refill, and our two shots of patron. "Here we are ladies. Did we need any lime or salt?" She asked.

"No, I ain't no bitch." Britney said. I gave her a shocked look.

I looked up at Catherine. "No, thank you. Just the check when you get a chance." I said. I turned my attention to Britney. "I'm sorry about my friend. She's an obvious lightweight."

Britney laughed. "I might be a lightweight, but at least I'm not on Team Instinct." She giggled.

"Okay ladies. One ticket or separate?" Catherine asked.

"I got it." Britney said, as she handed Catherine her credit card.

I laughed. I never took these things to heart. Team Instinct was a bit of the underdog group anyway. I really only chose it to be different honestly, because everyone kept trying to pull me in the Valor and Mystic direction.

"Well, I will say; At least you aren't on Mystic." Britney said, as she picked up her shot. "To amazing pokemon go adventures?" She said, holding her shot glass up.

I sighed, as I picked up my shot, which had a bit more in it than Britney's. "To amazing pokemon go adventures." I said. We tapped our glasses together, and choked down the shot.

I felt the bitterness and the burn of the alcohol on my throat. I quickly sat the glass down, and took a drink of my red apple sangria as a chaser. My stomach was starting to hurt from all the alcohol.

Catherine bought back Britney's card and a copy of the bill so she could sign and tip.

"I got your tip." I said, as I reached in my pocket and grabbed the $20 tip I had received earlier and gave it to Catherine.

Britney signed her copy and gave it to the waitress. "Thank you ladies so much! Have a wonderful night!" She said as she walked away.

I checked my phone for the time. I was shocked to see it was almost midnight.

"Do you want anymore of these wings?" Britney asked.

The thought of wings made my stomach churn. "They're all you, girl. I'm gonna go ahead and hit the road. I have to work in the morning. See you tomorrow?" I asked, as I grabbed my keys.

"Are you good to drive?" Britney asked, looking concerned. "Yeah I do work tomorrow morning."

I was a little tipsy, but I wasn't out of my mind. So I figured I'd be good to drive home. I lived maybe 10 minutes away.

"Yeah, I'll be fine." I said. "See you tomorrow! Text me so I know you got home safe."

Britney gave a thumbs up. "Heard!" She yelled.

I got up and grabbed my phone and keys. I walked to the entrance of the restaurant and went out the door. I stopped right outside trying to remember where I had parked.

I looked over to the left, and saw my familiar Mustang. Making a run for it, I took my fob in hand and unlocked the door. The alcohol was starting to hit me harder, so I wanted to hurry up and get home.

I opened my car door, got inside, and quickly started it. I didn't care about my top being down, I just wanted to get home before the alcohol hit harder. I reversed out of my parking spot and headed out.

I put my apartment address in my phone, because I still couldn't remember fully on where I lived by heart yet.

I turned on my music. Somethin' Bad by Miranda Lambert & Carrie Underwood began playing. I decided to sing along so I could stay alert.

"Pulled up to the church, but I got so nervous, had to back it on up; couldn't make it to the service. Grabbed all my cash underneath my mattress; Got a real good feeling somethin' bad's about to happen." I sang.

I focused on the road ahead of me, noticing that I was going into an area where it was very dark. I looked over at my GPS, I didn't remember this part of town nor did I recognize it.

'Got a real good feeling somethin' bad about to happen..' Carrie Underwood howled over my stereo.

"Rerouting.." My GPS said.

"Huh?" I said, confused. I looked forward and noticed it was now pitch black. I could barely see 20 feet in front of me. I turned on my brights, not even that helped. However, I tried my best to keep my eyes peeled and paid close attention.

Suddenly, something jumped in front of my car. "OH SHIT!" I screamed. But by the time I slammed on my brakes, it was too late. I had hit whatever it was.

I pulled over to the side of the road and put my hazards on.

I got out of the car, and surveyed my surroundings. It looked to be woods on both sides.

I checked the front end of my car, and it appeared to be fine, maybe a small dent. "I probably hit a deer." I grumbled to myself, as I used my phone's camera flash as a flashlight.

I walked behind my car, and I saw what I had hit. However, I was taken aback when I saw what it was.

It appeared to be some sort of sea creature. It had a tail that resembled a mermaid, and it was blue like the sea. "Eeeeee." It let out in pain.

My blood ran cold when I realized what it was I had just hit. It was a Vaporeon.

I backed into my car. "WHAT THE HELL!" I yelled in shock. I was dumbstruck on what I should do. Vaporeons don't exist in my world…. Do they?!

"Eeeeee." The Vaporeon cried out in pain.

I tiptoed closer to it. "H-Hello?" I said to it. I got closer to it. I crouched down on my knees, and pat it's head. It's skin reminded me of a dolphin. Smooth, hairless, and had a natural wet feeling.

"Eeeeee." It groaned in pain. I realized I had to do something fast or this poor thing was gonna suffer in pain.

I looked at it's neck, and realized there was something black hanging around it. It was a… collar? I looked at it's tag.

I felt all blood and feeling drain from my face and body as soon as I saw the name on it's tag.

Property of Blanche

Leader of Team Mystic.
