Distorted Memories
Pokemon fascinating creatures but they were alas fiction. I remembered playing the games in the past always nagging my parents to get me the newest game then losing sleep over trying to finish them first.
My body felt heavy for some unknown reason so I tried to shift around to get rid of the uncomfortable feeling.
When my eyes opened I was greeted by a tall dog that had its paws on my chest. What was strange was the horns that grew out from the side of its head along with a skull like shape present below its neck and about 6 more bony structures covering its back and around its legs.
Touching the horns proved they were real as I traced my finger from the horn to the strange creatures head and gave it a few pats.
That seemed to make strange dog happy as it moved away and started rolling on the ground.
'Strange dog? Why am I denying it? This is a definitely a houndoom'
Looking at the dog that was the only sound reason.
"Ouch" I said in pain pinching my cheek.
It seemed I wasn't dreaming or if I was well I probably wouldn't stop dreaming any time soon.
There was another way to prove if this was a dream or not a clock. The silvery antique looking clock on the wall seemed to negate my dream theory.
After all clocks couldn't exist in dreams I learnt that from reading information on lucid dreaming.
I scanned my head for any memories, but I had none, except for my name, Glaze. My appearance didn't seem vastly different except for the light blue hair and purple eyes and me looking about 2-3 years younger than I was. I had just turned 18 I think.
Getting up from the bed I stretched my arms as my muscles cracked.
Taking a look around I noticed It was way bigger than any room Id ever bed I slept in was a king sized bed with sheets that seemed extremely soft perhaps the reason why I was so deep in sleep.
"Seems like I'm in a mansion of sorts or at least an extremely wealthy household" I say walking around the room.
The houndoom followed me around as I took rounds around the room. It was a strange habit of mine to walk around in circles while thinking.
"Almost expected I was in a mystery dungeon game with this amnesia" I said to the houndoom.
The houndoom just stared at me wagging it's tail.
"Talking to a pokemon it seems I'm really going crazy" I said aloud.
'But why haven't I forgotten about pokemon, I'll need to get information' I think to myself.
The door opened with a slight creek as I turned the handle. I walked out and immediately closed the door, didn't want the houndoom following me.
I covered my eyes as I looked at what was out my room. Numerous chandeliers surrounded the top which had been turned on along with sunlight that seemed to be filtering in from various windows. Four sets of stairs led downwards which were about 25 degree angles from each other.
Seeing nothing particularly exciting I decided to head down the stairs.
There was hardly any sound as I tiptoed my way down the stairs. Seeing as I hadn't given my position away I began to look around.
"Good Morning Sir Glaze" A polite manly voice surprised me.
"Er..yeah Good Morning" I said uttering a reply to the unexpected greeting.
It was a man dressed in a tuxedo, a butler I assumed. He seemed young maybe in his mid 30s his hair was completely black along with his eyes that were a slightly darker shade of it.
I wanted to ask him why I was here but he spoke before I could say anything.
"You're father is waiting for you in the dining hall" He continued "and good luck with the school tournament".
With that he beckoned me to follow him.
'A tournament ,I'm so confused I guess I'll meet my 'parents' ' I thought as I followed him.
-Dining Hall
Arriving at the dining hall I was greeted by a huge table and two figures.
"Glaze you shouldn't be late on a day like this" The man spoke.
The man had spiky grey hair along with silvery blue eyes. His face seemed to be roundish along with signs that he was approaching middle age.
"Yeah..There's a tournament right?" I said.
"Yes and I don't think I've seen you practicing much for it" He replied.
"Yeah I've been having a bit of a headache for the past few days so my memories a bit distorted"I say clutching my head.
"A headache should I call a doctor?" he asked.
"No NO I'm FiiiNe..it's just I need to refresh my memory, yeah" I say an actual headache making it's way to me.
He looked confused.
"For instance..." I take a breath "You are my father correct?" I say rubbing my head.
"Of course who else would I be?"
"Yeah I know I'm probably just tired" I say.
I sit down at the table and begin to eat as I try to comprehend the situation I'm in. 'Apparently I'm a rich kid in the pokemon world, with no idea about my past, with a tournament to attend, I have no idea how to proceed' I sigh at my thoughts.
After munching through some pancakes and sipping some tea. I proceeded to follow the butler from earlier, he explained that I needed to get ready.
Glaze's Dad Pov
Glaze seemed different today perhaps he's really changed. Maybe his brother leaving really did give him time to mellow out.
"I guess I'll let him have his pokemon" I said holding taking out a pokeball.
Glaze Pov
-Glaze's Room
The butler handed me my clothes which I then changed into. Trying on they seemed to fit perfectly. A black shirt and jeans along with a pair of black sunglasses that I placed on my head. My hair didn't need any work since it was naturally straight.
A knock on the door caught my attention.
"All done Sir Glaze?" The butler from before asked.
"Yeah you can enter" I said
"Fine. Then let us head to the dragonite stables" he says as i follow him out of the room.
'Dragonite stables am I about to ride a Dragonite' I think with a hint of glee.
-Dragonite Stables
The stables were filled with about a dozen of dragonite with riding gear fitted on them. They seemed friendly as I approached them.
"These dragonite have been especially breeded by a friend of mine as you know.." My father spoke to one of the stables caretakers.
"Glaze" My father spoke eyeing me up.
He then took out a pokeball from his pocket and handed it to me.
"Here,this is your pokemon, it's been a while since you've used him" he said handing me the ball.
I grasped the pokeball in my hand it was light but it had weight to it as if it contained something.
'A pokemon' I thought.
Pressing the button released a quadruped mammal like pokemon that seemed similar to a wolf.
It had dark sharp claws from it's four feet a sharp dark tail and a dark crescent protrusion from the side of it's head. It had a black and white color scheme along with dark red eyes.
"Absol Absol" The pokemon says calmly.
My future looked bleak but at least I had a pokemon now.
