Chapter Two: Adam's Awakening
Viridian City: Adam Mitman raised his arms with a yawn. Today was going to suck. He could feel it already. Flopping out of bed, and rustling his spiky red hair, he trudged into his small kitchen and poured himself some coffee, which he always brewed the night before. It was always cold by morning time, but he didn't care. Flicking on the radio to see what was transpiring, he sat down next to the table the radio sat upon. With a sigh, he listened to what was said. "New trainers, head down to Pallet Town Square today! There Professor Maple will be distributing the new star-" Adam flipped the switch on the radio to off in annoyance.
He'd always been considered a young man on the outside but an old, cranky hermit on the inside. At just sixteen, he lived on his own and had never gone on a Pokemon adventure. He always considered it a "Fools excursion in which little children think the world will come to love them, just by making creatures duke it out." Seeing it as pointless, he'd been living in his relatively undisturbed lifestyle until today- what would unknowingly to him become the beginning of his new life. Hearing a knock at the door, he quickly threw on a shirt and pants which were conveniently placed in his nearby closet.
Adam wasn't used to visitors. Flinging open the door and expecting to shoo off some girl scout, he was instead greeted by the shock of his life. A man in bloodstained clothes, no less, garbed in white robes, staggered into the room. The man looked to be from a time period long ago, but he was, from the looks of it, about to die now. In this time, and in his house! Catching the man in his arms before he fell to the ground, Adam looked at him in confusion as he mumbled something to him. "Boy, take this, and with it, begin on your journey. You and only you may carry with you this sacred object that I am intrusting to you. Protect with your life. Take it, go forth, and restore the world by reviving those which shaped it to be what it once was."
With a horrific gagging noise, the man pulled out a glowing object from a fold within his robe and slid it into Adam's pocket. "That is one of the four Keys of Origin…" The man was now panting for breath as he finished each of his sentences. "You shall meet with the other key bearers…. and save us all. So it was predicted….. and so it shall happen." With that, the man died. But no body remained. In a flash of blinding light, the man disappeared completely.
A side note: Yes, these first few chapters will probably be boring, but they will get much better in the future, that I promise you. Thanks for reading. – Jarod Stefen
