Chapter 3. As his eyes adjusted he uncovered them slowly to see a tall slender black feline-dog like creature. Its head had a rather small snout that protruded from its head and on it a light blue colored ring on it. He couldn't place his finger on it but he had seen it somewhere. Except this one was standing on two feet and had a human like shape.

As he looked it in the eyes he thought. Both were silent for seconds that drug by like an eternity. He tried to stand up but his body had lost a bit of blood making him lightheaded and he was tired form the running. He stood up against the wall but collapsed back to the ground. He felt the creature stoop down and whisper in his ear. He passed out before his mind could process what it said.

He awoke on the ground once again. Although he wasn't on the beach naked this time. He was clothed in a pair of jeans and a collared shirt. His favorite attire.

"Well, well, well, a voice said. I guess you're awake now. I hope you appreciate me helping you out. The authorities' are still looking for you. But you're too interesting to turn over to them.

"What will you do to me then?" He said standing up. He found himself in a large glass enclosure with a bed, a radio, a small room over to his left (obviously a bathroom). The rest of the enclosure was about 25x25 yards. It looked like a garden in a glass case.

"You will be my pet!" The creature laughed playfully from the other side of the glass. It wore a small dark pink blouse and a dark pink shirt. It was obviously a female.

"Why? Why do you want me as a pet?" He asked.

"Because you humans used to keep Pokémon as pets, and slaves and tools." 'She' giggled.

"By the way your new name is now Devon." She then walked away out of the larger room that contained his enclosure.

He quickly began observing his enclosure and found two ways out. By the door located across form his bed and by a hatch 25 feet in the air above the bed. Light from super powerful LED bulbs shown down from the glass ceiling casting a bright vibrant atmosphere. He then sat back down on his bed and began to think. Not about escape but about his new life in this strange world.

He would not be missed in his previous one. There he was hated and scorned by many simply because he was skeptical of everything. Besides the world he used to live in had become quite Orwellian. This new life. It gave him hope for the first time in a while.

Yes while it hadn't been so kind to him just because of his appearance, he figured that it couldn't be that bad. Besides he was to be fed every day and got his own bed. Much luckier than many others in this world who surly had to sleep on the street.

After a minute he switched on the radio and laid down on the grass inside his enclosure. He listened to the news reporting the story of the escaped human that had been arrested the day previous. Apparently it was suspected that 'abominable' and 'dreadful' creature had simply disappeared while in the rough part of town. He wondered when his 'owner' would be back. He was getting kind of hungry and thirsty.

He had dozed off. The Black Pokémon crept into his enclosure to watch him sleep. She stood there wondering how he could sleep so peacefully. She had never seen a human doing things before. But one of the things she found very interesting was how he slept. He would toss and turn but he somehow seemed so calm. Then he began to wake up. She simply sat on the bed as he lay in the grass. He stretched, sat up and looked at her. His eyes had a tired look in them and his hair was a mess.

"You got any food?" He asked her.

"Yes I've got some steak. But you're not getting any until you do me a favor." She said.

"What kin of faver you want?" He said as he accidently let his accent through. He didn't like his accent he mostly tried to hide it since all it did was make people think he was stupid.

"I want you to breathe fire." She said with a giggle. She knew how ludicrous the task was for a human.

"I can light my farts on fire if that counts" He said bluntly.

"EWWW GROWS NO!" She screamed.

"Well if you really want me to breathe fire I do know a way." He said.

"How's that?"

"I'm gonna need some stuff. In order to do it. Can you run up to a hardware store and get it?"

"Sure"

"I'll need a big mason jar full of water and five pounds of sodium metal."

"Okay I'll have it shipped here. In the meantime you better find a way to let me stand on you while you float."

"You want me to learn surf and flamethrower. That's one heck of a tall order there missy."

He was suddenly slapped across the face.

"Don't call me missy!" She shouted.

"Help!" He shouted with a grin "Animal abuse!"

"Shut the fuck up you have got some nerve yelling that!" She screamed it was apparent he was pushing the right buttons. He collapsed back onto the ground in laughter.

"Don't hiccup laugh at hiccup me." She yelled. She clawed him across the face leaving a large mark and some blood trickled out.

He wasn't laughing anymore. But He was still snickering a bit over the fact that she hiccupped when she was mad.

She stormed out of his enclosure locking the door behind her.

There he was, alone and hungry in his habitat.

She's pretty cute when she's mad. Wait what the hell am I saying? She's a Pokémon!

After two hours the girl came back with the mason jar of water and the metal which was sealed in a plastic bag with argon.

"Okay I'm going to need you to step out of the enclosure because it will be dangerous. There may be an explosion." He said.

Walking out of the enclosure she shut the door…Big mistake.

Cash quickly put on the two gloves she brought and chucked the sodium metal into the water then snapped on the lid. Rolled it near a wall and ran to the other end of the enclosure…

The jar exploded! Shattering the enclosure and sending glass everywhere! Hot molten sodium hydroxide sprayed everywhere! He ran out of the room and down a hallway. His escape plan way under way. The black Pokémon with light blue rings had glass shards thrown her way by the explosive. She was stunned momentarily by the explosion and glass. But quickly chased after him.

"Get back here!"

"How about no!"

He ran out of the hall and into a massive living room. Out of the living room and into a large industrial looking kitchen out of the kitchen and into a massive walk in…freezer.

"Oh shit!" He said. He turned around and ran out but it was too late. He was ambushed by a punch to the head. Boy, did it hurt! Like getting hit by a baseball player with a piece of cast iron!

"God damn!" He screamed as he tried to run but to no avail he was tackled by a massive hulk of what felt like fur.

"What are you doing in my house?!" It yelled to him. It sounded deep and threatening.

He was unable to reply as that he was being suffocated by it.

"Oh brother! He tried to rob us." She explained.

Cash's POV: "That bitch! She's trying to cover up the fact that imprisoned me and get me re-arrested"

"Sister is this true the deep voice said."

"N-no He's hiccup lying!" She said.

"Oh really? Doesn't sound like it to me." The hulk said.

"Please someone get this guy off of me I'm going to die!" Cash could hear his bones cracking.

"OH right sorry!" The behemoth stood up. Helping Cash to his feet. Cash stood there in awe it was a 6 foot tall Espeon.

"Espeon now I remember what you are!"

"Human I would have though you knew what we were considering you're a human. You're probably the one that the police and military is making such a fuss about." The large Espeon said.

"My name is Josh this is my sister Amy."

"It's nice to meet you. Although I've already met Amy. She put me in a giant glass box and was starving me."

The larger Espeon just sighed.

"She does that to a lot of guys she finds attractive."

"I do not!"

"Do too. This is the fifth time.

"I need to apologize for my sister. She probably ruined whatever escape plan you had. But she is a dark type."

"No need to apologize." Cash said.

A few moments of silence passed.

"So, what is your name and what do you intend to do now that you are in the poke lands?" Josh asked.

"I, have no idea at the moment. Although I can only suspect that as soon as I leave this house you'll call the police and military. I'll probably go into hiding and just exist until I can return to the area where humans live." He made a guess here he assumed that not all humans had been wiped out.

"You are quite right. I will call the police as soon as you leave. However you can have this trenchcoat." Josh said tossing it to him.

His guess was correct.

"Why are you letting me leave?"

"For the same reason my sister locked you up. We can sense an aura about you. You may be able to end the suffering in our world. I think every psychic type you come across will help you in some way. Or just keep you from being captured."

"Thanks."

"No need to thank me." Josh said.

Cash left the house in the trench coat with a large burgulers mask on with a large hat. He had a pack with some basic essentials. Some food, water bottles a digital map (Like the one from Fire red & leaf green) a bit of cash and some clothes. Unfortunately they all had a hole in them down below meant for tails but he could live with it.

He went to a small internet café he spotted a few blocks from Josh's house. He sat down placed an order and pulled out the map. Firstly he needed to find out what region he was in. Then find try to remember the remote locations of that region that he could access that would make it hard to find him. Getting to those locations? Walking and hi-jacking tiny john-boats would suffice. *If you don't know what a john-boat is just google it real quick.*

He opened the map. To his absolute relief he was in the region he loved and knew the most about…Hoenn. The land of trumpets. According to the map he was in slateport city. That explained the huge beach he woke up on.
