"Where... where am I?" The boy got up, feeling a little dizzy.

"Oh! Thank Arceus you're awake," an unfamiliar voice said joyfully.

The boy then noticed a small brown Pokemon with a white, boney head. It seemed to hold some sort of club that looked like a bone.

The boy gulped. This couldn't be good.

"Why do you look so nervous?"

"Where am I, exactly?"

The Pokemon grinned. "At my place, of course! You know, I just found you unconscious in the woods... Thought I'd be nice and take you here."

The boy just stared at the Pokemon. Something just didn't seem right about this place... Perhaps it was because this Pokemon talked?

"Where... where did you find me?" The boy found himself asking.

"Oh... it was just the woods. I was helping Miss Flora find some wood... then I saw you. It isn't normal for a Riolu to be in the forest, you know?"

Wait... I'm a Riolu?

"No... I'm not a Riolu, I'm a human!" The boy said.

The Pokemon laughed. "Humans aren't real, silly. Must've banged your head pretty hard, eh? Tell me... what was your 'human' life like?"

"I... I don't remember..." The Riolu trailed off.

"You don't remember? Something must be wrong... Lay down for a while. Maybe that'll help."

"I don't think it will..."

The Pokemon huffed. "Well, I think I'll take you to an expert."

The Riolu sighed. This Pokemon wasn't much help...

"Oh, sorry Riolu! I forgot to introduce myself! I'm Karma the Cubone! Do you remember your name atleast?"

"I... I think it was Kylen..."

"Great! Then I'll just call you Kylen!" Karma giggled.

She seems awful energetic...

"So, Kylen, I've heard of a powerful Pokemon that can grant wishes! Maybe if we can become strong enough, we can go into his really tough lair. And maybe we can wish to know what your past is!"

"A tough Pokemon that can grant wishes?"

"Correct. I think his name was Jirachi. He's a legendary Pokemon!"

"A legendary Pokemon?"

"You really need to be educated. I'll tell you long story short. A legendary Pokemon is an extremely rare, but powerful Pokemon. Legendary Pokemon are said to be the guardians of specific lands. The place where we're at, Whitewood, is apparently watched over by the Sky guardian, Rayquaza."

Rayquaza? That name... sounds familiar...

"Rayquaza is said to be one of the strongest Pokemon alive! He's a loyal follower of Arceus, the Pokemon who created this world. However, some legendary Pokemon have started to rebel..."

"Why would they do that?"

"Some Pokemon, like Lugia and Palkia, feel like they're treated like Arceus' pawns. Others... like Zygarde, strive to become even more powerful than Arceus himself, thus rebelling against him."

Zygarde? That name... also sounds familiar...

"Rayquaza and the majority of legenday Pokemon, however, have stayed loyal even to this day. I want to be like them when I get strong. A loyal Pokemon, who always has your back, no matter the consequences!"

"That sounds like a great goal," Kylen smiled weakly at Karma.

"Thanks! I have a feeling we're going to be great friends! I just know it!" The bouncy Pokemon giggled again.

She's not just energetic... she's cheerful as well... I wonder why Karma is acting like that...

"So... Karma... I was wondering... How are you going to get stronger?"

Karma laughed. "I'm going to form an exploration team, of course! And I think a Riolu like you would be perfect for the job!"

"I don't think I'd be willing to form an exploration team with you... Whatever that is."

"An exploration team is the greatest thing ever! You journey with other Pokemon and search for treasure and do jobs for the innocent Pokemon living in the area!"

"Now that I think about it... it might be interesting."

"Great!" Karma exclaimed. "We just need to get our license from the Exploration Headquarters."

"Huh?"

"Oh! The Exploration Headquarters are made up of the best explorers around. The boss of the headquarters, is supposed to look scary, but I heard he's really just a sweetheart."

"They seem like interesting Pokemon." Kylen streched his arms.

"So, are we going to get a license or not, Kylen?"

"Yeah, I guess we are. Let's head out."

"This is it?" Kylen and Karma stood at a small tent.

Karma did her already signature giggle. "No, silly! There is a lot more to it than just that tent! Climb down the ladder inside the tent and look for yourself."

Kylen did what she said and was surprised at what he saw. Even though it wasn't impressive by his standards, it was shocking seeing Pokémon all busy. Small offices were organized like those shops you'd see in a mall. Pokémon were running back and forth between offices. There was a job board in a corner with jobs covering it.

And there was yet another ladder going even deeper into the ground.

"That's the boss' room. Let's go inside it!" Karma then dragged Kylen into the boss' headquarters.

I personally am not liking where this is going. The chapters are too damn short and uncreative. The story is basically dull so far. If you actually could see past it's flaws, give me a review! If you think this should go on hiatus like Mary Sue's Adventures in Atreia or should be discontinued, leave a review. Basically, if you like or hate this thing, you can leave me a review. By the way, if you read the prologue and wondering about that humorous AU I'm planning for this very fic should be coming soon... if I happen to like it's outcome. Anyways, thanks for wasting your time on my fanfiction!
