Hey readers, Umbrenox again presenting you with another chapter! Now, where were we?
Andrew: I was having a dream.
Umbrenox: Right! I knew that…
Andrew: *sigh*
*I do not own pokémon, it belongs to Nintendo. The story itself and OC's are mine, and if any events or characters are the same as someone else's it is pure coincidence.*
"Welcome, to the pokémon dimension," Arceus said. Two questions ran through my head, and I asked the most important one, "How did I get here?" Arceus walked forward a few steps. "What do you mean Andrew? How you got on top of Cornet, or how you got on to this planet?" he asked. Arceus's voice was deep, intimidating, but kind. "How did I get on this planet," I told him. "Well, it is quite simple," he answered, "The game you were playing brought you here." Ok, now I know how I got here, even if it was a little far-fetched. Then again, I was playing Platinum when I got knocked out (the first time). "Okay, how do I-" "Get back? That I don't know," he interrupted. So that was it, I couldn't get back to my own world, I'll die a pokémon. "Well, oh never mind. But I must ask, why do you want to leave?" he suggested. "Can't you read my mind or something?" I asked. "No, it would be rude and intruding. If you let me read your mind I will read all, everything you have thought, that's how the human mind works," Arceus responded. "Well to be truthful: I have no life here, I don't even know anybody, I'm just starting to get to know Kiara, and I'm a natural violence magnet!" I retorted.
"I know, I've been watching. But Andrew, do you know why I called your consciousness up here?" Arceus questioned. So this isn't a dream? "No," I said. He walked up to about a foot from me and then said, "I have foreseen something, a disaster, in the near future. But when you came into this world, the vision changed, it split into two parts. I cannot tell you the exact future, but I can tell you bits and pieces of it. In both you will confront something, but there are two different endings. Your choices will decide your outcome. You will for certain go back to your own world, but I can't tell you when. When you wake up, you'll see a gift from me. Until next time," he told me. "Wait-" I started to ask, but I had already woken up.
It was dark in the room, but I could see the sky lighting up out the window. I sat up and let my eyes adjust to the lack of light. I pulled the covers off and saw the bandage on my leg. There was no blood on the gauze, and it wasn't throbbing in pain. Arceus said he had a gift, this must have been it. I ripped the gauze open to find not even a scratch on my leg. "Thanks" I thought. I stretched and waited until the sky was a little brighter, then got up.
I took a shower and brushed my teeth before opening the door leading to the rest of the house. I smelled biscuits cooking upstairs. Of course I went up to the second floor to see the food, and when I got there I saw Kiara pulling out the biscuits and stir gravy. She turned to me and gasped. "What?" I asked. She walked up to me and rubbed my leg. "Your leg," she said, "there's not a scratch on it. How did it heal that fast?" I took a deep breath and told her about my dream, leaving out the whole future thing. After I stopped she was gawking at me, "You met…Arceus?" "Yes, but not in person, it was a dream," I answered. After that she went back to the food, and in a few minutes we ate. We didn't talk much, and when I told Kiara I was going into town she just said okay. I left the property and started down the road.
When I got to the town, I was greeted by a familiar face in bandages. "Oh come on, look I don't want to give you any more pain, so please don't start anything," I asked. "Oh, n-no I, uh, I'm not wanting to fight. I-I'm asking for a truce," the shorter blaziken stammered. Well, I was relieved that I wouldn't have another visit to get medical attention this hour. I took a minute before saying, "Fine, a truce, but only if you tell me some things, if you know them." We went to a quiet alley, and I asked him a few questions, first: "Why did you attack me in the first place?" He replied, "I, well we, mistook you for someone else." My second: "Do you know a machoke with a bodyguard who looks like he's the son of a sword and a kitchen knife?" He answered, "No, at least not that I can remember." And my final question: "Okay, umm, what continent am I on?" Obviously thinking that I was some lost fool, he replied, "Uh, Sihnno." "Okay, thanks for the info. Hey, I never did catch your name, I would like to know who I put in bandages," I said. "Jamie, name's Jamie," he answered. With that we shook hands, umm paws, no, okay we just shook on a truce and we parted ways. I spent about an hour in town and then I headed home.
Thankfully, I didn't run into any trouble on the way home, but for some reason Kiara wasn't there. I found a note saying: I've gone out. Be back in the morning. Seeing that I had nothing else to do, I went out onto the deck in the back of the house. I sat in one of the chairs and did, nothing. As I sat, I felt something, like a pressure in my body. I didn't know what it was, but I felt the urge to concentrate on the pressure. I did, and slowly I felt the pressure go away. I opened my eyes to see two fairly large blue spheres on my arms. As soon as my concentration changed to confusion the spheres exploded, sending me off into the woods somewhere. I don't know if it was pure skill, or the complete lack of it to manage to hit everything hard in my path. I hit a few trees, a huge boulder, a couple more trees, and then my face plowed through the dirt and I hit a stump to finish it off. I fired off some creative words and hobbled back to the house.
