A.N.- Hello readers! To those who read this because of my other writing how do you like all the details? I'm trying to show not tell.

Chapter 2: What's the Deal

"Can you hear me? Ruth, can you hear me?" a voice asks.

"Who is this!? Where am I!? What just happened!?" I respond, sitting up looking around panicked, and I notice I'm in the middle of a dense forest.

"It's John, I see you made it safely. I'm talking to you through your headset. It appears you are in Dunkel Forest. I'll explain more soon," John states.

"How do you know where I am? What way am I supposed to go?" I question.

"I can see through your headset on a monitor. To be honest, I have no idea which way you should go. I can only see what you see. Sorry. Pick a direction and go. While you walk I'll explain how all this works," John says.

"Okay," I say, standing up and walking straight forward.

"The group using cards for evil haven't revealed their name yet. Those machines, like on your arm, were created to make the card battles look real. That group found a way to make the Pokemon battle like they're real. They challenge people to a match that have a card they want. The Pokemon battles more realistically, ignoring energy, using more than one moves, and dodging attacks. So naturally they get their opponent's card. We discovered a way to do this too. With some minor complications. You control the Pokemon. As in if you tried to take a step forward, your Pokemon would instead. So this will cause you to feel the pain. But, once you get good, your opponents won't stand a chance. The rest is up to you to figure out. It is just a prototype and we haven't figured out how it works. That was made right before you showed up. Good luck," John says, cutting off communication. Either that or he is ignoring me, since I've been asking questions. So I keep walking and the forest becomes less dense and ahead I see a small town. It's made up of small log homes and I see several people carrying axes. "Oh, and make sure you play fair against regular people. Don't want a town or city chasing after you. Bye!" John yells.

"I wouldn't be the only one doing it. So what's the deal?" I ask. There is no response. "Guess I'm being ignored or he shut it off. Again," I mutter to myself.

A.N.- I hope you enjoyed this chapter! A b it of an information dump, but it is plot important, not me just being lazy. Cheer up! I'm holding a name contest! I will be holding stuff like this occasionally. As of now there won't be any OC's accepted unless I LOVE them. Instead you get to help with the stuff I'm stumped on. Endrew out!
