Chapter 1: The Story Begins
Life can change faster than you think. One day you can be stressed to exhaustion, the next free as a bird. Those were my thoughts as I got off the school bus for the last time in my life. Little did I know my life would change much, much more in much less time.
You can call me Devin. I lived a pretty normal life, I had a couple friends, went to school, lived with my parents, the norm. I was always an avid gamer, playing things like Minecraft, Mario, Zelda, stuff like that. My favorite game of all? Pokemon.
I loved Pokemon. I had every game and beat all of them. I had pokemon things all over my room. Every card printed was in a book in there (some are fakes though, since they are out of print). I have seen every episode of the show and all the movies. And of course, I have caught them all.
When I got off that bus I instantly knew something was wrong. I just felt… off, like things were out of place. I started to walk home, looking around me trying to find the source of this feeling. Suddenly, movement. A figure ran across the street, hiding behind a tree. I only caught a glimpse, but I saw it.
The thing seemed familiar and strange at the same time. I walked towards the tree slowly and peeked around the corner. The figure jumped at me and knocked me to the ground in a flurry of tan fur. It stood still on my chest as I shook out my dizziness. I stared at it as it came into focus.
I was stunned, I couldn't believe it. I shook my head, I must still be dazed. No, it was still there. I could tell I wasn't dreaming since the fall had hurt. It was real alright. It was smiling down at me, it seemed playful. I just stared at it. It couldn't be, but it was.
An Eevee.
