Today the first real chapter of this story is being released and I'll be honest: I'm not really happy with it. But I expected me disliking the first chapters. The problem is, that I already know much of the plot, but I'm a person that first thinks about the plot TWISTS. Because of that the first chapters seem like a little bit of improvising. This story will very likley be like, the later you get, the better the story gets, with the exception of the first plot twist in the middle of the story. Because of this twists some chapters in this area of the story will very likley be better than some of the chapters before the finale begins.

There are also some other things I want to talk about first. As you will see in the first lines I will change the point of view (POV) sometimes. I will mark it everytime so you won`t get confused. Another thing is that I think about cutting out the schedule already, but in your favor. This chapter was already done by Wednesday and I just kept it by myself all the time. I will very likley start to just post the chapters as I want. I WILL STILL TRY TO PUBLISH AT LEAST ONE CHAPTER PER WEEK.

If you like this chapter better than I do, Id be very happy. Reviewing is hoped-for. Have fun reading Never alone: Chapter 1.

Chapter 1: The Saviour

Fate's POV

"Wake up. Please. You just have to wake up! He can't just kill another innocent Pokemon!" As I heard these words the darkness around me faded into light slowly. My body started to ache everywhere. Around me the area started to look like a room.

It was a small room with not much furniture. From where I was, I could see a big window, a small bedside table and a door. I lied on a bed made out of stray. On the bedside table stood a bowl of water and a few blue berries which I now know are called "Oran Berries". I looked out for the source of the voice that had called me before. As I could see nobody, I decided to take a better look at myself. I looked terrible to be honest. Nearly ever part of my body was wrapped up in bandages and seemed to be hurt badly. Also, I was in great pain. I even wondered how I could be alive in a condition like this and more importantly: I wanted to know who healed me up. Because I felt like I hadn't eaten or drunk in a very long time, I decided to strengthen myself a little before I would try to find my saviour.

Thunder's POV

I just didn't know what to do anymore. Nearly two weeks had passed since I found the injured Vulpix in the forest. At the beginning I was pretty optimistic that I still would be able to save her. Her injuries had to be very painful and could have ended deadly easily. The moment I saw her I knew what I had to do. I just can't let an innocent Pokemon die like this. The other reason was something more personal. After I got myself a bowl of water, I did what I did most in this time of my life: Waiting. I never went outside and just sat beside the bed I made for her. In all this time I never saw anybody I know. None of my friends tried to visit me. Maybe others would be mad if their friends would do this, but I actually liked the peace. Also, I don't really have that many friends… only a single one to be honest. He often went away for a longer time. It's a little ironic how we even can be friends. The reason we feel connected to each other is that we don't like the concept of friendship. In short that means, we are friends because we don't want to make friends.

But that's a topic for another day. Back to the point, I just went back to the room to wait and pray for her to wake up. I wondered who she was and why he would attack a normal Pokemon like her. I just wanted to find out about her. And more important, I could not let him get this satisfaction. But this day something changed in relation to the ones before. As I entered the room the Vulpix was awake! I was pretty excited, maybe even a little too much. "You are awake? Thanks, Arceus! I thought you'd be gone!"

The fire Pokemon very likely did not recognize my appearance before I spoke as she seemed pretty startled. "Did you really have to sneak up like this? I nearly choked on my water!" "I'm sorry, but I just entered the room. I did not sneak up on you in any way." My new acquaintance seemed to calm down a bit. "No, I'm sorry. I was just a little scared. Are… are you the one that saved me?" "Yes, I found you lying in the forest unconscious. I took you in here to be abled to help you. But… what exactly happened to you? Why did he attack you?" For a moment she seemed to think about it. "Who do you mean by "him"? I don't know who you`re talking about." I was pretty confused to hear something like this. "Wait, what do you mean? You HAVE to know who I mean? What just happened to you?" The Vulpix went silent for a moment. "I…" She seemed to panic a little. "I don't remember! Why can't I remember anything? What happened to me!" "Calm down. Just try to remember something. Maybe something a little smaller. Your name or something like that!" The Vulpix took a long breath and started to concentrate. "My name… my name… I think I remember something. I think my name is… Fate." "Fate? That's a pretty interesting name! I'm Thunder by the way." For the first time she smiled at me. "Thank you Thunder. I really owe you!" Sadly, she stopped smiling just a second later. "Would you be so kind to explain who this person you're talking about is? Do you think he was the one that hurt me like that?" She looked at me in a kind of curious but also scared way. I knew that it was time to tell her about the truth about him. About the bastard terrorizing everyone! About the leader of the Slaves of the Dark…
