Spark Of Victory

Disclaimering: Iing Don'ting owning Pokémoning. Getting iting??

The air crackled with electricity. It was like something had been pulled tight, was being stretched, as tiny sparks shot through the air every once in a while. And hit us every once in a while.

We stood in front of one of the most powerful Pokémon in the world, the legendary guardian Raikou. And, as I watched in awe and fear, he turned his fierce, frosty gaze on me.

It was almost too fast to see. The shock came with the speed of light, and hit before I could realize what had happened. By then, I was in the air.

I wanted to scream, for I had not only been hit by a lightning bolt, but it had taken me about ten feet in the air, somehow. I was floating there, suspended by the unnatural state of the air, and I looked down at all my friends and their Pokémon. And last, the legendary Raikou.

Raikou's eyes were still staring into mine, a cold blue, reflective of my own lighter blue. He then spoke words I knew nobody but myself heard.

"You are the spark of the fire of victory. And forever this shall be your name. Spark." Then, suddenly, I was on the ground again, with no memory of what my name had been before Raikou had called me Spark.

As suddenly as we arrived, we were back where we had been earlier, out in a grassy field. I looked at my friends, the six companions I had known so long.

"Ready to go, Spark?" asked my best friend, and I then knew that Spark was truly to be my name, and I caught one final flash of my former name. But then it was gone, and I could only accept my new name...and, eventually, my new power.

For soon I made a shocking discovery. Raikou's bolt of lightning had done more than change my name. It had given me a gift of great proportion. I was now charged with electricity, and could control it at will.

That is why I'm called Spark.

OK, that would be the origin of Spark from a story that I don't even have posted yet, what happened after my very first story, The Champion. This character would be the former Tori, now called Spark. Somehow, I hope to write their other adventures before I'm old and grey.
