Prologue
Caged Prize
"How did I get myself into this?"
A form was slumped at the back of a cage, the cold iron chilled her bones but the bitter feeling was ignored. Many cages were piled upon each other and next to one another, the room was dark. An ominous feeling bred in that room. The body let out a sigh and small wisps of vapor erupted from her mouth.
"Hey, who's there?" a voice asked to the Clefairy.
Her head jerked upward and her ears swiveled round to catch the sound. Cautiously she replied "Who's speaking?"
"It's the pizza man!" the voice answered, the reply heavily dripping sarcasm. "Who do you think it is? I'm in the cage next to you,"
"What's your name?" the Clefairy enquired.
"Blade, I'm a Farfetch'd," he said rather proudly. "You?"
"I'm called Nikki, Clefairy," she informed him. "Can't you cut yourself out of your cage?"
"Nay, they pinched my stick. It should be on the table in this room, the bars are too thick anyway," he explained with a slight harsh tone. "How'd you end up here in this casino?"
Blade from his cage beckoned to an area of the darkness when he explained about his stick. Sighing he settled himself on the base of the cage, he hadn't heard a story in a long time.
"It's a long story, but I'll start at the beginning," Nikki said preparing herself for telling the rest of her tale.
"Well dur," Blade interrupted.
A girl in a white sun hat is seen hiking up the mountain; her long brown hair obscures her face. She looks up and her hair falls behind her ears, a pale face is revealed drawn in conversation her brown eyes fixed on finding a clear way up the mountain.
"I was a human, not even a trainer or anything like that. I was traveling from Cerulean City to Pewter City,"
The girl enters the cave, Mt. Moon. It is a glorious place, nature completely dominant. The dark looms in front of her beckoning for the girl to enter its bowels.
"I went inside Mt. Moon and got lost inside,"
By mere chance the girl stumbles upon a group of Clefairy performing a ritual which involved dancing around a huge Moon Stone. The stone glittered and cast rainbows in all directions, it was a marvel to behold.
"I saw all these Clefairy dancing 'round a gigantic Moon Stone! I tried to keep quiet but there was dust on the floor and I sneezed. They all stopped then and saw me, and then they went to natter on about something between themselves. They did that for quite a while but then they stopped and started waving their fingers back and forth. It was quite pretty really," Nikki stopped there to behold the sight in her minds eye once more.
"After that there was this big flash, and I must've fallen unconscious or something. When I woke up my clothes were too big for me and my hands were all small and furry," Nikki shuddered then. "I finally got out of Mt. Moon though and nobody had seen me but then some people were upon me suddenly,"
A Clefairy stumbled out of Mt. Moon a white cap perched on its head. It seems reassured by the fact that it is out of Mt. Moon where Clefairy normally dwell. A group of people then find the small creature.
"Hey, look what we have here!" a man shouted. "It's rare that a Clefairy leaves Mt. Moon,"
"Aye, those Pokemon are rare. We may as bag it, we did come out here to find Pokemon for the casino," another replied.
"Then a boy around my age spoke, He was wearing blue pants that had the pant legs rolled up and a red jacket that had the sleeves rolled up. The jacked had a yellow shirt under it. Around his neck was a silver, old-fashioned key. Why anyone would wear a key around their neck is beyond me. His shoes were white and red and he was wearing white socks that were bunched around at his ankles. His left hand was covered in gauss. Normally karate fighters wrap their hands and feet in gauss, but only his left hand was wrapped in it. On his right wrist was an ordinary wristwatch and around his head was a bandana. The straps of the tied bandana hung down to the middle of his back. He also wore a red baseball cap that said "Stop" on the front. His eyes were a deep blue and his hair was red." Nikki described. "He said something like "You just said that's its rare for Clefairy to leave Mt. Moon, that means something must be wrong with this thing or something's not right with Mt. Moon," he sounded real worried.
"What's wrong with you boy?" one of the men said harshly.
"Then viola I'm here,"
Blade raised a feathered eyebrow in disbelief.
"You used to be human?" he asked snorting in disbelief.
"It's the truth," she replied softly.
Suddenly the door opened a light flood into the room and the silhouette of a person could be seen. The door closed quickly after the person and darkness ruled supreme once more. He flicked a switch but it hardly did any good, still the dark held sway. It was male, you could tell by his posture and the way he walked.
"Could it be the same boy?" Nikki wondered.
The boys face suddenly at the front of the cage but this time looking into it. Aye, it was the same person. The sudden appearance of the boy caused Nikki scurrying to the back of the cage,
"Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you, little one. I brought you something." the boy said reassuringly.
He opened the cage and placed the hat into it, Nikki immediately grabbed it and placed it on her head.
"There you go; I work here at this Casino. It's feeding time for all the Pokemon. Here,"
He put a bowl of Poke-Chow into the cage. Nikki sniffed it cautiously and made a face of disgust at the scent.
"Hmm, you don't like it? Then I have just the thing!" he said enlightened.
He took the Poke-Chow back and put into the cage what looked like a hot lunch meal given to staff. Nikki looked at it. Her stomach growled, and she quickly began to eat it.
"There you go! I try to give this stuff to all the new Pokemon, but they never like it, you must be quite different from ordinary Pokemon." He said musing. "I'm Luckosai by the way, everyone calls me Lucky though."
There was something comforting in the boy's smile. It made Nikki feel like everything was going to be okay.
Lucky fed all the Pokemon and left silently, Nikki checked he was gone before she called out to the Farfetch'd.
"Blade?"
"Yeah?" he replied round a mouthful of Poke-Chow.
"Who's that boy?"
"He feeds us, he's pretty nice. He even brought my stick back!" he replied petting his faithful stick.
"Blade," there was a long pause before she spoke again. "I'm scared,"
"Don't worry little one, everything's gonna' be all right. You'll be fine," Blade replied with the air of a father.
"Thanks," Nikki replied softly a tear rolling down her cheek.
"No problem," Blade said grinning.
