I hope you enjoy the story.
The Pokémon world, a place full of incredible creatures and unbelievable phenomena impossible to explain, a world of adventures and stories to be written, a world without limits.
Our story begins in Pallet Town, a town in the region of Kanto, where there is a group of teenagers who will change the world with their actions, although they do not know their destinies are already written and to start it only needs a pebble.
(Change of perspective)
"Wait... we can't stray too far from camp, we were warned" said a teenage girl with brown hair and eyes, wearing a light blue blouse and a red skirt.
"That's right, Grandpa warned us, let them go alone, I don't understand why we are following them Green" A tall young man with spiky hair and brown eyes, he was wearing a deep blue t-shirt and blue jeans.
"You know why Blue, if they get in trouble we have to help them" the so called Green said to Blue stressed.
"Come on, we can't leave them alone, something doesn't feel right, I wouldn't want to leave them alone" A tall young man with black hair and a black t-shirt with a gold colored necklace ran towards the direction of his friends.
"Steel, wait, moo, why do you all have to run and leave me alone!" said Green a little sadly.
"I'm still here you know?" as he said that he watched as Green started walking towards the direction of his friends completely ignoring Blue "*sigh* I should complain that you always ignore me, I'll go back and let grandpa know."
(Inside the forest)
"Hey guys, ammm, where are we?" said a blue-eyed, brown haired young man in a white shirt, black hoddie and pants.
"What happened Black, did you get lost already? Obviously we're in..." as he said that a young man with brown hair and generally red attire with a red cap started to look around and little by little his expression started to change from excited to worried "amm, I think... I think we're lost."
"No shit... *sigh* we have to go back, I knew it was a bad idea to come all this way," Black said with a tired and worried expression.
"Remind me why we came all the way to the woods outside the camp?" asked the red-clad young man.
"Because you decided to follow Grey here Red, you and him were excited because it was our last day of camp and because it happened you decided to see the forest that we were forbidden to enter from the beginning of camp, that's why we came to the forest" Black said looking accusingly at Red.
"GUYS, COME SEE THIS!" was heard the shout of a young man a little way ahead of where they were.
"Hey wait" they both heard and as they turned around they saw Steel followed by Green "We have to go back, something doesn't feel right, I feel like something is going to happen" Steel said turning everywhere.
"Yeah, Red, Black, we have to go back, when Steel feels something like this, strange thing usually happen" Green said following Steel's gaze as well as looking a little scared.
"Ok, let's get out of here, but first we have to go get Grey, he's a little further ahead" Black said moving a little deeper into the forest.
As they walked through some bushes blocking the view they came to the edge of a cliff looking at the forest below and on the edge of the cliff was Grey looking at the forest below, it really was a beautiful sight, the Sun about to set and how beautiful the Kanto forest looks.
"Wow" said Green moving closer
"It's beautiful... someday I'll walk through all this and become the best pokémon trainer" said Grey staring straight ahead.
They all went over to where Grey was standing at the edge of the cliff to see the view for a few more seconds.
"Guys, it's time to head back," Steel said turning around and waiting in the bushes where they left for the cliff.
"Yes we have to go back" Black said putting a hand on Grey's shoulder, as he turned back he saw how everyone was waiting for them in the bushes and decided to walk towards them.
"SPEAROW" a flock of Spearow's flew out of the forest towards the horizon "AAAH!"
Hearing the scream, they all turned to look at the cliff and watched as Grey started to lose his balance from the flock of Spearow, they all watched as he started to fall and they were far enough away to know they couldn't do anything, but they all still ran towards the cliff.
Black was the closest as he had just released Grey and at that moment the world stopped, watching as one of his best friends was about to fall off the cliff to his certain death, not even half a second had passed but he made a decision, He ran with all his strength and just before Grey's foot went off balance to fall down the cliff he grabbed his arm with a speed and strength he had never felt before, everything happened in an instant and the flock of Spearow passed by, everyone saw how Grey had his feet on the edge of the cliff being held by Black's arm.
They were all silent and completely still, contemplating that they were close to losing one of their friends.
"Easy Grey, I got you" at that he pulls him towards him but a small rock that was under his foot causes him to slip falling forward taking Grey's place falling down the cliff.
It all happened in an instant, first Grey was about to fall, but Black saved him and in the blink of an eye Black took his place.
"BLAAAAAAAAAAACK" shouted Green running to the cliff leaning out only to see Black fall and disappear into the trees below.
They all stood still, they couldn't understand what happened, a moment ago they were fine and in a second everything went wrong... just because of a pebble.
(Change of perspective: Black)
When I pushed Grey towards me I lost my balance because of a small rock under my tennis shoes, and I started to fall down the cliff, everything went slow again... "wow, the forest really is beautiful... I'm really going to die here, it's a huge drop".
Everything was still slow and I closed my eyes and began to feel the wind in my face, understanding that everything was back to normal, wanting to see the sky I turned my body to fall on my back and I could see the sky once again.
The day really is beautiful... "BLAAAAAAAAAAACK" As I saw the edge of the cliff I could see Green shouting my nickname... today was really beautiful, and the sky disappeared, I touched the trees, I could only feel the branches cutting my body in several places and then free fall for a few seconds and then instead of feeling a really hard ground and my certain death I felt a sponginess and bounced a little bit only to fall again and then an orange dust surrounding me.
"Vile Vileplume" I heard the name of the pokémon I fell on and my instinct was to cover my nose and mouth and jump forward, when I turned around I saw how Vileplume was dizzy for having resisted my fall, taking advantage of his confused state I ran into the forest, I didn't want to be in front of a Vileplume when I caused him a lot of damage, unfortunately I just inhaled Vileplume's toxic spores.
"*cough cough* damn, I just survived a huge fall and now I've been poisoned, can't I get a break?"
I kept walking for a little while and I could feel the spores working on my body, I could feel a fever starting to appear and my vision was a little blurry and night had fallen, I had to find shelter or else I would die.
Little by little I began to see my sight more blurred and I still could not find a shelter, my hopes for finding help were almost nil and I only wished I could live for the next day.
"I was so close to starting my dream...how unlucky I am."
In my confusion I heard a cry of a pokémon, in my bad mental state I couldn't identify the pokémon, but I did identify that I needed help, I didn't know if I would survive the night, but at least before I reached my limit I would help someone else, just one more.
As I walked in the direction of the scream I came across three zigzagoon surrounding a ralts and watched as they took turns hitting it.
"they are surrounding him to kill him" my mind was tired from everything that had happened and I was about to ignore this, I couldn't do anything, but the ralts screamed again and I could see his eyes, those eyes full of pain and tiredness like mine, they were screaming for help, and at that moment my body moved on its own.
I ran towards ralts and with all my strength I kicked a zigzagoon and took ralts in my arms and started to run, fortunately the zigzagoon didn't follow us, but my body couldn't take any more and when I stopped I fell on my knees holding ralts in my arms.
"r-ralts?" when I heard him speak I felt something in my mind, something trying to get in and as I let it out I heard a small female voice, which I deduced came from ralts "a-are you okay?"
"No, I was poisoned and I'm very damaged, I'm sorry, but I can't see well anymore, my sight is blurry so it would be better if you leave me here, go and seek shelter for the night, I'll be fine."
"RALTS ralts ralts" "NO, I won't leave you alone, give yourself a place, just follow my instructions" said the little ralts, her voice sounded with determination, but at the same time she was scared, I could feel her emotions, worry, fear and joy.
"Okay, lead the way."
After a few minutes we entered a cave and my body couldn't take any more and I collapsed on the floor, before I fainted I could feel Ralts little hands on my head and his emotions, worry, fear, gratitude, and I lost consciousness.
(Change of perspective, out of the forest)
"So they went this way Gary?" said an older gentleman in a lab coat.
"Yes grandpa, they went in that direction," said Gary pointing to where they went.
"BLUEEEEE, PROFESSOR WE NEED HELP" they heard Steel's voice and watched as he came running over along with everyone else, Grey had his eyes rolling back, Red was dead serious and Green was crying.
"Riley, what happened...? Where's Art?" said Blue/Gary seeing everyone's expression.
"Black... Art fell off a cliff and disappeared into the forest saving Ash" Riley said, for the professor it was the first time he saw his star students with these faces, for him they were not only his star students, but he saw them all as his family, each one of them formed an important part of everyone's life in the lab, even as he turned to look at his grandson Gary his face was in complete shock with a small tear forming in his eyes.
"Tell me where he fell," Professor Oak said, his gaze more intense than anyone had seen in a long time.
A short time passed and they arrived at the cliff, the only thing that illuminated it was the moonlight.
"H-he fell over there," said Green pointing to the spot where he fell.
"Ok, back off a bit... DRAGONITE" Oak shouted to the skies and for a few seconds there was only silence and from one second to the next a gust of wind was felt and a Dragonite appeared and riding it was an Alakazam. "Dragonite, take Alakazam through the forest down there, Alakazam look for Arthur, he's in danger possibly at risk of death, hurry" hearing the order the pair of pokémon got ready and Dragonite flew into the forest and found himself flying near the forest, everyone watching with shocked expressions at what just happened while the professor was just watching Dragonite the whole time, following him with his eyes.
"Professor...I didn't know you had a Dragonite" Red said watching in amazement as the Dragonite moved and the Alakazam was looking all over the forest.
"I was a trainer before I became a professor, where do you think I get all the pokémon at the ranch from?" said professor Oak smiling a little as he remembered his days as a trainer.
"Wow" Riley expressed looking at the forest.
"DRA DRA" Shouted the Dragonite from afar and began to fly towards the professor as Alakazam began to float down.
"Wait here, I'll go get him" said Professor Oak riding the Dragonite flying towards the direction where Alakazam was.
The professor and his Dragonite flew to where Alakazam was and when they went down to the forest they saw how Alakazam was standing outside a small cave, when he got down from his Dragonite he saw that Alakazam pointed inside the cave and when Professor Oak entered he saw Arthur on the ground, sweating too much, with too many cuts on his arms and his clothes torn and broken, His breathing was fast and his skin on the back of his arms looked burned, when he saw him he identified the problem right away seeing that he was poisoned, but something that caught his attention was a little Ralts standing between him and Arthur in a defensive way, this little Ralts was defending Arthur, the luck of being able to find a pokémon ready to give his life for someone he just met?... besides its different coloring.
(Change of perspective)
"Mm" The first thing I felt when I regained consciousness was my body, sore and my throat drier than a desert and when I opened my eyes I couldn't see anything, everything was blurry.
"*Cough Cough* Agh where am I" my vision cleared and I could see the white ceiling and the sound of the monitor reading my heartbeat...they found me.
"RALTS" and something jumped into my vision and hugged my neck in no time stopping to say her name, it was the little Ralts I saved before I fainted, looking at her well she was not a normal Ralts, her coloring was different, in my thinking I felt the sensation of something enter my mind again and I let it "ohmygodimgladyouareokayiwassoworriedthatyouwerentgonnawakeupandwhenyoufaintedaweirdmanappearedwithscarypokemonandifeltsoweakthaticouldntprotectyouandand...".
"Hey, calm down, I'm fine, breathe it seems like you're going to choke with everything you're saying without stopping to breathe haha" I was just saying it to calm her down, I was equally scared and looking at Ralts it seems like she was feeling my emotions too because of the telepathic connection.
"As I was saying, it's hard to tell when he is going to wake up..." The door opened giving me a glimpse of a colleague of Professor Oak, my parents and Professor Oak walking into my room and staring at me.
"H-hello, hehe like e" and I was interrupted by a human bullet that is my mother hugging me tighter than ever and she didn't say anything, I just felt her tears on my cheek and all I could do was put my left arm on her back since my right was being occupied by Ralts.
"I'm okay ma, I'm here, safe and sound" I was trying to calm her down, but her hug and tears brought out my fears of almost dying and I began to cry along with her
"When they told us what had happened my heart stopped, I didn't know how to react, I'm just happy you're safe" my mother said detaching herself from me and giving me a kiss on my forehead. "And you little Ralts, thank you for taking care of my son" she said stroking Ralts head that was clutching my arm, turning to look at her "Ralts" I didn't have to be connected to her to know what that meant.
Shortly after the meeting with my mom I talked to my dad and Professor Oak about what had happened, shortly after some studies they told me that it would be better for me to stay in bed for a few days.
It didn't take long for my friends to enter the room after everyone had left, the first to hug me was Green and then everyone but Grey/Ash.
"Black...I, I'm sorry, if it hadn't been for me, you wouldn't be in this situation, I'm so sorry," Grey said looking down at the ground with tears in his eyes.
With a lot of effort, I tried to stand up, everyone tried to help me, but I said no with a look, Grey was still looking at the ground shaking, after I got to my feet, I walked towards Grey and hit him with a flick of my finger on the forehead.
"AGH, that hurt," Grey said and when he looked up he saw me and was shocked.
"Now calm down, nothing happened to me, I'm still here and our dreams are still standing, together we will become the best pokémon trainers and if it wasn't for that accident I wouldn't have met Ralts, so get your faces up and get ready, there are 5 days left until we get our pokémon and go on an adventure to the world, we agreed to leave on different days and meet in each city to experience the world on our own, being sad would be a bad start to your journey so let's give it our all!" I said shaking as I couldn't hold my body weight, but I tried my best to lift everyone's spirits until I felt someone putting their arm around me and giving me a support, as I turned around I saw Red and Green on each side giving me support.
"And remember we have each other so when we are in trouble we have each other's backs, we will always be there for each other since we promised, and I never break my promises" Red said looking at me and Grey.
"Yes, always remember that" Green said smiling "Well that was a lot for you, it's time to go back to bed" he said slowly moving me towards the bed.
"Thank you" I said quietly just so Red and Green could hear me, but they didn't say anything, they just smiled and put me to bed.
We kept talking and after that talk we were all relaxed, Blue felt a bit guilty for not having accompanied Green and Steel, but soon after he returned to normal after I told him it wasn't his fault.
The day went on and they left, my parents visited me, but they all left after a while, except Ralts, Ralts never left my side and we talked constantly.
The days passed and little by little I was recovering, I went to a therapy to be able to walk better and on the fourth day I was already well in its totality, Ralts and I created an inseparable bond, technically she wasn't my pokémon but for that reason I protected her with all my being, I didn't leave the lab but all of that paid off because when the fifth day passed, I did what I had been waiting for since I was a little boy, to start my pokémon adventure.
