A/N: Hello everyone I just wanted to thank you for all the responsesI have gotten about this story it does mean a lot, man this week has been great the story is going well and a new chapter of New Species came out yep this is great,! But I just wanted to clear somethings first.
I have planned out how I would like to do this story, edit wise:
Monday – Wednesday: Edit next chapter and release.
Thursday – Sunday: Type up new chapter.
And what ever spare time I have in these days that I'm not working on something I will see if I can work on the story more.
I have read many story where Team Rocket was the main villain, they will be apart of this story some times, the main villains are the new team I created Team Horizon, they are mainly a team of scientists that try to gain power with their experiments, just wanted to let you know, now enjoy!
I was floating in darkness, nothing was around me, there was no light but I could see myself clearly.
"Hello, is anybody there?" I called out and waited for an answer, but there was no reply. I was getting scared feeling cold and alone, but I never felt this alone before, even on my birthdays. 'So this is what it feels like to be truly alone' I thought, 'At least I had Mark, Marry and Tom before, but now I have no one'. I never before been in a place like this where all you feel was cold and alone, where nothing existed and no sound could be heard it was a strange and terrifying feeling. I floated there for a long time I don't know how I got here or where I was going , more time passed before I noticed a bright light in the distance. "Hello?" I called out but still got no reply, I have been here for so long just floating in a void that I had nothing to lose, I tried to hurry to the light. I was getting closer to it when the light then engulfed me, I would think this would be somewhat painful but I felt nothing as the darkness was replaced with light.
I slowly woke up, my eyes adjusting to the light in the room. Soon I manage to bring my head up to look around, I just saw my room just how I left it when I left to the forest, I continued to look around and found Charmander, Eevee and Tom sleeping in one corner of the room,'What are they doing here?', I looked to my desk and saw that there was a number of get well soon cards siting on it, I saw a plate of cookies and a glass of water on my side table, 'I don't understand what's going on, why are there cards on my desk and why is Tom asleep under my window?'
I tried to get up from my bed but only stopped when I felt pain, I lifted my head and saw that my stomach was bandaged up, 'So that wasn't a dream, I really did get hurt by these two guys' I thought, I was hoping that none of that was real, that I just slept in and everything would be fine, I guess not. I felt something on my head I lifted my arm and took off an Ice pack that was left there. I tried one more time to get up from my bed only to fail and let out a small screen of pain. 'Why am I in so much pain'?'. Tom slowly woke up and saw that I was trying to get out of bed.
"Sora you're finally up, please don't try and move you will only hurt yourself" He said as he got up off the floor and sat on my desk chair that was placed next to my bed.
"What happened?" I asked, and noticing that the two Pokemon are now awake.
"I was going to ask you the same question, you were out for over a day" Tom replied. I was shocked by what he said, I was knocked out for over an day, but I didn't take that much of a beating, did I?
"I was trying to stop these two men from finding Professor Oak, they were going to hurt him and I wouldn't allow it, so we got into a Pokemon battle and lucky for me Charmander was well trained from my dad and took out their Pokemon but not before getting stunned himself". I said looking at the fire Pokemon he seems to be much better now but he seemed worried about me, i'm not surprised I would be worried if I saw someone like this, "They then started to fight me and one of them pulled..." I stopped myself, looking at Tom he was sad but also scared looking at me in my current condition, but he was like a brother to me and I didn't want to worry him about the syringe that the men stabbed me with, "Er... then they over powered me and started to drag me off into the forest and everything became a blur after that" I had to lie to him I can't let him get worried over me about this, but then again I don't think I will have a birthday to myself ever again.
"Your lucky I found you when I did, Eevee and I manage to get you away from them before they ran into the forest, I saw that you were bleeding so I got you back home" Tom said, then turned to Eevee, "If it wasn't for Eevee you might still be with them". I turned to the small Pokemon "Eevee" she said with a proud look, but that quickly went away once see remember what happened to me.
"It's ok Eevee you help save me and that's what matters, you to Charmander" the two Pokemon didn't look any happier, they would protect any one of us from harm but just seeing me in bed and in pain just makes them think that they failed. I soon felt cold and tired, "Hey Tom, I think... I might go back... to sleep" I just manage to say before passing out yet again. Tom just sat there and looked at me, he knows I didn't tell him everything, but he just got up and left the room to let me rest, only to turn back to call the Pokemon out so they wouldn't disturb me.
I was back in the void of nothingness, feeling cold and alone once more, I didn't like being here I never wanted to feel alone after my dad died but here I am floating in a big empty void, 'Why am I alone, why am I here?' but this answer will never come, but right now I have no strength to do anything.
'Hello?' I heard an echoed voice from with in the void, I looked around to find nothing, the whole time I have been here I never heard a sound, this voice just came out of nowhere and sounds so familiar.
"Hello, who's there?" I called out hoping to find someone else in this void. I could hear a slight laugh in the distance, hearing this made me scared once again, but I know I have heard this voice before.
"I'm Sora" the echoed voice said, making me jump, 'How can this be, I'm Sora how can this echoed voice be me?' I was going to ask what the voice was talking about when all of a sudden I felt colder than usual then pain went through out my body, intense pain flowed through my veins, light came out of nowhere and engulfed me once again.
I woke up from my dream, drenched in sweat and in horrible pain, my body tensed up and my muscles tighten, I tried to relax but the pain was to much, I rolled off my bed and hit the ground, I was now on my hands and knees trying to keep myself up while this pain continued, I could barely keep myself from screaming in pain. I was still very cold even though I was in this much pain, I must be feeling hot but I'm not what is going on. The pain focused on two points on my body, my lower back and my head, it slowly moved to these points and became more intense it felt like my head is going to burst, at this point I let out a small scream hoping no one would hear. The pain got slightly more intense in these two spots, then I heard bone crack and muscle rip, at this point I am trembling in pain and fear I never see stuff like this on T.V. Nor have I heard anything about a sickness that was like this, and why was my bone cracking, what was happening. I felt like my skin was pushing out of my head and my spine cracking and reforming and pushing out of my body, this pain was too much for me to handle anymore and I passed out from exhaustion.
When I came to it was morning, I could still feel the pain slightly as I tried to get up off the floor, what was that last night, "Did I get an infection from that needle stab or... oh wait, those guy must of done this when they injected me with that stuff, what else do I need to endure by the hands of these people".
I remember from the last time I was up, there was water on my side table, seeing as what happened last night I'm in need of some water to calm my nerves. As I got up off the floor I heard something fall onto the floor, turning around I saw that my glass of water was on the ground and the carpet now wet. 'I didn't do that, did I?' I thought to myself, looking back on the table I saw that the cookies were scatted all over the place, 'Maybe I did that when I fell on the ground last night' I brought my hand to by head due to the headache I got from the pain when I felt something soft, I was about to investigate until I felt a tap on my back, I turned around thinking it was Tom but no one was there, I felt the tap from behind again and sure enough when I turned around no one was there, 'What on earth is going on?'. I was getting afraid by everything that was happening lately, but I push the thought to the back of my mind and I got ready for the day, I walked to my cloths that were set out on my desk and when I went by the mirror I stopped when I saw something strange. I turned to the reflective glass and saw it, I was in shock and trembling at what I saw, I saw me, but I was different I saw that my ears where no longer there and two long black ears with yellow stripes going across them stood it there place, from the bottom of my eye I could see movement behind me, I turned and my jaw dropped, I had a big black tail again with a yellow stripe going across it.
I wanted to scream from fear even more so after I saw the tail and ears move letting me know that their real, but to be sure I pulled hard on my tail and I yelped in pain, 'Wait, did I just yelp, what is happening?' I thought in horror, knowing that someone would of heard me I rushed to get dressed to hide what is now my ears and tail, as I put my jacket on I tried to stuff my tail in there but it was pushing against it and pull my jacket out, I pulled my jacket forward and zipped it up it was nice and tight and hide the tail well enough, My ears were already laid down on my head maybe since I'm scared crapless so I just put my hood over them, now looking back at the mirror I don't look like me anymore nor do I feel like myself when I heard a knock at the door
"Sora are you ok, I head noises coming from in here?" That was Mark's voice, 'I can't let him see me like this, but I can't hide it forever maybe he won't notice' I thought while looking in the mirror making sure no one could see my new appendages.
"I'm fine" I lied, I was in fact scared of the nightmare that I was living, the door opened and Mark walked in, he has short grey hair, and dark brown eyes, he was wearing a white shirt and black business jacket, pants and shoes.
"Are you sure?" "I heard about what happened yesterday we were all very worried, Tom told us everything" said Mark, "I called the school and said you won't be in today".
"Oh ok" I replied with relief seeing as I didn't want to go there anyway since they will make me take off my jacket and right now that's not a good idea, "Hey Mark, can we go to Professor Oak's Lab today, the men that attacked me were going after him and I want to make sure that he is ok".
"I know, Tom told me, yes we can go and check up on him" Mark said, "We will leave soon" and with that Mark left my room and headed to the kitchen.
The main reason I want to see the Professor is that I trust him, He was a good friend of my Father and he might know whats going on. I headed out of my room and found Tom, Eevee and Charmander sitting around the living room, Tom saw me come in.
"Sora, your up, you feeling any better?" Tom said with one of his concerned looks, with Charmander and Eevee following suit.
"I'm much better now, thank you" I replied, "Er... you haven't seen Charmander's Pokeball by any chance?".
"Oh I got it right here" Tom put his hand into his pocket and pulled out Charmander's ball, "We took it off you so we could treat Charmander from your battle, he was fine" and Tom chucked me the Pokeball.
"That's good to hear" I said catching the ball then returning Charmander.
"Hey Sora why do you have your hood on, it's not that cold in here" Tom said with one eyebrow up. I knew people would start asking questions but I never thought about what I would say when I got asked.
"Er... I've been in bed so long that I'm quite cold" I said lying through my teeth, Tom is like a brother but this will just freak him out.
"Oh... Ok, well I need to head off to school now, take it easy ok" Grabing his bag and heading for the door only to stop to turn around and wave good bye with a smile on his face and left.
Mark came in to the room, "Sora do you want to leave now?" he asked.
"Sure, let's go, I want to see what Professor Oak knows" I said getting pumped, and thinking back 5 years ago, keep Charmander close and my necklace closer, that is what saved me two days ago.
A/N: Now that was intense, well I hope it was. Now remember when I said that the story New Species was a big influence for this, now I'm not trying to take anything away from that but the dream part of this story will kind of be the same as the ones in that story but how Sora change will be different this will be seen in Chapter 4ish. But please bare with me as I try to iron out the story, but until then bye!
