Chapter 5
Authors Note:
Sooo I've had a lot of the story written but... well... what happened was... jk. I'm a procrastinator. That's the only awnser. And It's band season. I can do nothing in marching band season. A lot of the following chapters will have old authors notes. Choose to ignore them or not but pay attention to chapter 9's note. I have a very serious question on it. thanks!
Ugh..my head. I thought as I came back to consciousness. I winced at the bright light that hit my eyelids. I eventually managed to crack them open and take a quick look at my surroundings. I seemed to be laying on what looked like a hospital bed in a comfy looking room. I jumped as a cheery voice spoke from behind me. "Oh! Your finally awake! How are you feeling?" I thought scoldingly pull yourself together, winry! Before turning to face the voice. I was a bit shocked at first to see pink hair but quickly kept my surprise hidden. Giving the woman a reassuring smile I asked, "I feel fine. A bit dizzy but other than that, I'm fine. Could you tell me where I am?" I had a deep unsettling feeling in the pit of my stomach since I woke up and now I hoped to find the cause. She smiled and said, "You're in the pewter city pokemon center. The gym leader, brock, found you and brought you here. You gave him quite the shock, appearing out of nowhere. You shouldn't have been out there without a pokemon." She must have seen how my face whitened several shades because she added and extra question. "Are you alright?" Pokemon center? Gym leader? Pokemon?! What in the world is this lady talking about?! "I don't quite understand what your talking about." I said quietly. Worry could be seen on her face. "Amnesia? No matter. First things first. We need to catch you a pokemon."
She let me get a shower and found me some clean clothes before taking me out. There I was introduced to what they call the gym leader. He was a pretty cool guy and he showed me his pokemon. Apparently he has a rock type gym so most of his pokemon were rock type. He explained about the gyms, gym leaders, and the gym badges. He also told me about how he had a friend who had brought several pokemon that i could choose from. "She came from a nearby town and she works with trainers across several of the regions. They work to study and identify pokemon from all over the world. Winry. Meet Friday Lupin." I turned to meet a young lady with long brown hair in a high ponytail with her bangs clipped to the side with a yellow clip. She had golden eyes that were a lot like edwards except they were a lot more yellow. Had it been dark they probably would have glowed. She wore a carmel brown turtleneck with grey jeans and a pair of brown boots. A white lab coat gave her the more scientist like look that was aided by a pair of brown framed glasses resting on the bridge of her nose. Then she spoke in a soft a rather nervous voice that reminded winry a bit of shezka and caused a small smile to grace her features. "It's a pleasure to meet you ."
After introducing us brock had to go back to his gym and nurse joy had to go back to the pokemon center leaving me with the strange new scientist lady. "Alright!" She said clapping her hands together. "First things first! You need to get a pokemon." She dug around through her bag for a little bit before pulling out several pokeballs. Pushing the button on the first one she introduced me to a cute little purple mouse that she called a rattata. "This is cheese. He's a normal type pokemon who knows scratch, tail whip, and 's only level 5." Pushing the button on the next one she introduced a small caterpillar. "This is a caterpie named lady. A bug type pokemon. Level five. She knows tackle and string shot." Then she pulled out the last pokeball. "Now this fellas a little energetic. Meet sparks." She pushed the button and out came a small yellow mouse who looked up to me with a smile. "Pika!" It said and I couldn't help but smile at the way he threw his arms into the air. "Sparks here is a pikachu. He's level five, electric type, and he knows thundershock and tail whip. You've gotta keep an eye on him. He's a slippery little guy. The second you take your eyes off of him he will run away or be taking something apart. It makes him kinda hard to keep in the lab." While the two of us were talking the pikachu snuck behind me unnoticed and slipped my wrench from the bag they had given me. I didn't notice until we turned back and saw that the caterpie, Lady, had crawled over to investigate and had been hit on the head with the wrench by sparks who was now glaring at the crying caterpie as the rattata laughed from the distance. I couldn't help the laughter that bubbled from my mouth and friday was grinning as well. "I think I'll take the pikachu if that's alright with you." I said going over and picking sparks up from where he was still clinging to my wrench. Friday laughed and said, "that's fine with me. He seems to like you anyway." As if to give his agreement sparks said. "Pi-pika!"
After giving me some potions, some more pokeballs, and some money Friday asked me to deliver something to a pokemon professors house. "He's not there right now but the pokemon he keeps there needs to be looked after and fed. I'm supposed to be going down there but I'm going to be late. Some other stuff came up that I have to look into." She also gave me a map of the region and device called a pokedex. "It will let you record and read data on all the pokemon you see in the region, as you find them of course. For best results you need to catch one." And with that I guess you could say I began my pokemon journey to try to figure out where I am, what happened to everyone else, and how in the world I get back.
