Chapter 1: The Introductions
Raziel stood in the middle of the field surrounded by several wild pokemon. They were agitated by his sudden arrival in the middle of their field. They attacked him with Vine Whip and Razor Leaf, though the attacks barely damaged him, he was still annoyed by the attack though. Then he saw three strangely dressed humans and another of the strange creatures. Ash Ketchum was the first to notice the creature being attacked by a Venasaur and he said, "Hey look guys, someone's being attacked by a Venasaur!" Misty looked and said, "Yeah, your right Ash, we gotta help him!" Ash then released his Charizard and said, "Charizard flamethrower now!" Charizard blew the fire at Raziel and the Venasaur and Raziel called forth the Soul Reaver and the fire hit the wraith blade, turning it into the Fire Reaver. Raziel blasted the Venasaur with a projectile from the reaver and knocked the pokemon unconscious. Ash saw this as the perfect opportunity to catch a fully evolved pokemon. "Go pokeball!" Ash yelled. The pokeball hit the Venasaur and the ball was moving around until the red light on it disappeared. "Yeah, I caught a Venasaur!" Raziel just stood there and watched the human carefully. He waited until the ball disappeared and the humans came up to him. He was lucky that he was wearing a cloak around him or otherwise he might be attacked. "Hey mister are you okay?" said Brock. But to Raziel he knew them as the girl, the boy, and the man. "I'm fine sir, now can you tell me where I might find someone named Kain?" The man just stood there and thought for a second and said, "Sorry I don't know who you're talking about." Raziel didn't seem to care, but he figured that they might have other useful information. "By the way, I'm Ash Ketchum, that's Brock Slate, and that's Misty Waterflower. We're pokemon trainers, what's your name?" Raziel carefully, but quickly did a quick scan of them, taking in every detail he could without looking suspicious. Then he said, "My name is Raziel." Ash then said, "Raziel uh, so what are you doing way out here wearing such a heavy cloak in the middle of summer?" Raziel wondered why it was so hot, but he would have to deal with it until he thought it absolutely necessary. "I don't know how I got here, all I know is one minute I speaking to a strange creature calling itself Celebi, then I'm here being attacked by what you call a Venasaur. Now I'm talking to you." Ash was wide eyed and said, "You saw a Celebi and talked with it?" Raziel replied, "Yes why is that so hard to believe? Is it a rare creature?" Ash said, "Rare creature, you bet it is, Celebi is the time traveling pokemon and are only thought to be myth! Ya know you should really take off that cloak or you'll get sick." Raziel finally gave in, sensing that they would bother him about wearing a cloak during the summer. When obliviously the summer was the hottest part of the year in this world. Then he said, "I'll take my cloak off on one condition, you don't scream, run away, or try to harm me in anyway. Do you understand what I am saying?" They all nodded and Raziel slowly started removing his cloak. He started with his legs and moved the cloak revealing to blue legs, then he moved up his torso and arms. Revealing two blue arms and his torso, his stomach was no longer there. (Remember the abyss.) Then he removed it from his head, revealing his clan cape wrapped around his lower face. Ash and company just stared there, as they turned a bit paler. Ash was the first to speak as he said, "What are you?" Raziel was surprised to say the least, as everyone else he had met always considered him evil or just a creature serving under another. Then Raziel spoke saying, "I am what is called where I come from, a Reaver of Souls. Or even a Vampire Wraith. This blade you see on my right arm is the Soul Reaver. It is symbolically bound to me and me to it. We are one, I can only manifest it in this material realm when I am at full strength." Then Misty spoke saying, "So you're a demon of some sorts?" Raziel had been called many things during his time as a Vampire Wraith, but he never a demon. Raziel was angry now as the Soul Reaver came straight to the Red haired girls throat. Raziel then said, "Never call me a demon again, or you won't live to tell about!" Raziel then lowered the Reaver and said, "Please forgive, but my lives have been hectic." Then Raziel told his story from what he remembered as a human, then as a vampire, then finally as a Reaver of Souls (Vampire Wraith). When he finished the story he finally told them who Kain was and why he was after him.
Meanwhile elsewhere, in the pokemon world Kain had entered a large tunnel in which he would day. He was walking towards the back of the cave when he saw a strange light, almost like a torch. He went to investigate the light when he was ambushed by several dark type pokemon, but Kain had no idea what type of creatures these were. He slashed violently at them knocking a few away back into the shadows, then he let loose a lightning bolt and hit the pokemon, some of them got up and shook the attack off and attacked Kain with their own attacks. Kain however grew bored and irritated by these creatures. So he let loose a more powerful lightning bolt, but this was a different lightning bolt. It was a finishing attack, as the bolt hit the creatures, Kain went over to the ones that had accidentally died and bred the vampiric un-life into them. They woke up several minutes later and surprisingly they didn't have the blood thirst that some did, when waking up as a fledgling vampire. Instead it had the urge to find other dark type pokemon and make them into vampiric pokemon as well. Kain then said, "Well my new children, go find others and bring them here, while I investigate the strange light." 'Master the strange light is man made who they call themselves Rockets. They could be useful, knowing that they are feared in this world.' said the Umbreon. Kain surprisingly understood the pokemon, but figured it was because of the vampiric curse. Kain entered the base of Team Rocket and knocked away anyone who got in his way. Kain then entered a room heavily guarded at the end of the room. There sat the head and most feared man in the pokemon world, Giovanni. He turned around in his chair and said, "Who are you and how did you get in here?" Kain merely said, "Who I am is not important, but what I can do for you is important." Giovanni said, "I'm listening, but I warn you this had better be worth my while or you will die!" Kain then said, "I assure you it will be well worth your while. I can give you an army of undead creatures that you have tamed and also an army of undead vampires. With this army you can take over this pathetic world and rule it. I can also make you an undead vampire as well if you wish, but it will require strong magic's to help keep your memory intact, and to evolve your body far beyond anything of this world. Possibly even further than my own body, magic's, techniques, and powers. So what say ye?" Giovanni then said, "I will consider this, but how will I know you will keep your word?" Kain said, "Simple vampires cannot stand water, fire or being impaled through the heart. If water touches a vampire's skin it will burn like acid. Fire will burn a vampire to cinders the same goes for fledgling vampires with the sunlight. Being impaled through the heart will cause a vampire to possibly die, or even to go into a coma like state as long as the weapon is still impaled through the vampire, but if it is taken out the vampire will be re-animated again. In other words impale a vampire put it in a coma, pull the weapon out it walks again and sucks blood and energy." Giovanni thought about this for a moment before replying, "Deal, and it closes with your word and my own, plus a hand shake." So they gave their words and shook hands, sealing the deal.
