POKESONA: THE GALAR CHAPTER

CH. 1 THE BEGINNING

Poem of Everyone's Soul (Be Your True Mind)

…

You slowly opened your eye, only to be greeted by a dream-like scenario, an elderly man wearing a hat and a black suit and black tie sitting in front of you with his eyes closed.

The man was sitting on the opposite side of the table in front of you, you take a quick look around and soon you realize that you aren't in the place you were supposed to be, the place was different from what you memories recall, you remembered being on a plane, now it seemed that you were inside in a restaurant of a sort.

The walls, the carpets, the tables, and the chairs were all blue velvet themed, they all looked luxurious and made of expensive materials, you could hear the voice of a woman singing accompanied by the notes of a piano and an orchestra.

The sudden movement of the mysterious man startled you and brought your attention back to him.

"Welcome to the Velvet Room.", he said, opening his eyes to look you in yours.

"My name is Mustard, fear not right now you are fast asleep in the real world.", he said trying to reassure you, but his words only manage to confuse you even more than actually calming you.

"This place exists between dream and reality, mind and matter."

"And it seems that a particular fate awaits you particularly in the near future, this is why you were brought here." the mystery deepens.

"This fateful event may well or well bring you to expand your horizons and achieve your goals in life,"

"Or it may bring forth to your own demise.", Mustard concluded.

Those last words weren't only mysterious, but they also sound ghastly.

"My goals? My demise? What was he talking about?" you thought distressed.

"As of right now you will probably find it difficult to understand the meaning behind my words," he smiled "But do not worry, my words will make much more sense soon enough later." declared Mastard.

"It seems that our time is running out," said Mastard.

He enigmatically scrutinizes you, "Before you return to your world, I would like you to hear me for one last time."

"As we speak right now, the hunger of mankind is building up faster and faster..." he paused before continuing, "In the pursuing of satiety humans are alienating each other, till their inevitable fall into the pit of solitude.", concluded Mastard.

"Dear guest, I will like you to have some thought on these words of mine, please keep these words in mind til our next time, until then farewell." Mastard recommended you.

Before you could ask him any questions, your eyelids got heavy and your mind hazy, causing you to fall back to your sleep.

New Days DAN ver.

You suddenly wake up from your sleep and look around puzzled for a moment, only then you recalled boarding a plane at Unova.

"Yes... now I remember..." you were moving out of your hometown of Anville Town.

"I were recently enrolled in a prestigious college in..." you take a moment to remember the name of the city.

- Ladies and gentlemen we just landed at Wyndon International Airport, Galar Airways welcomes you to Wyndon, Galar -

"..." your attention goes all to the attendant voice.

- On behalf of the flight crew, we thank you for choosing Galar Airways, we wish you all a pleasant stay, and we hope to fly with you again on another occasion -

"Yeah, Wyndon..."

"Wyndon was the place I was moving to." you thought to yourself as you finally recall the name of the place.

"Wait we've already landed?!" you look out the window in surprise, seeing the runway and the airport.

"Well…", you stretch a little to get your strength back,

"Let's get off..."

After you get up from the seat, you took the backpack that you had placed in the luggage compartment, ready to get off the plane

About 15 minutes later

You were standing in front of a conveyor belt waiting to take your luggage,

"The journey from the plane to the terminal was faster than I imagined..." you thought as you looked around.

Your mental monologues are soon interrupted when you notice a familiar suitcase approaching you, without hesitating you take your suitcase a black stained with graffiti leather case, and walk towards the check-in.

You wore a loose top topped by a black hoodie, blue designer denim, a pair of red loafers, a black and yellow sports travel bag, and a pair of black frame eyeglasses.

As soon as you leave the airport you hear someone calling your name,

"Victor! Victor!".

You turn to your right side to spot who was calling you, and you see a red-haired girl in a ponytail approaching you, she wore a tan-colored trench coat and orange sunglasses, her most peculiar features were her four white heart-shaped hair decorations.

"Dark skin, gray eyes, brown dreadlock hair, and with thick glasses, you must be Victor Sandmann, right?" she asked in a confident tone.

"Yes.", you answer.

"I knew it!" giggled the young woman, then she held out her hand,

"My name is Sonia Kleio, nice to meet you."

"Ni - nice to meet you too.", you reply by shaking her hand awkwardly, pressured by her personality and beauty.

"Well then, should we get going?!" luckily the girl doesn't seem to notice your embarrassment.

"You must surely be tired after that long flight from Unova to Galar?!"

"Um ye-yeah."

"Then come let's go to the dorm, so you can properly get a rest." finished the girl, starting to walk towards the parking lot, you nod and follow her.

20 minutes later

You and Sonia have reached your destination, the journey to the dorm has been mostly silent, Sonia has asked you questions from time to time, but just the necessary to get to know you better.

You stood in front of the building and watched it in silence.

Step

The dorm had a modern look, it was an eight-story building, colored in gray, and was graced with orange bricks that emphasized the design of the building, there was a multitude of windows.

The main door of the building was in the backyard, near the parking lot, away from the main road.

"Fascinating isn't it?" Sonia smiled.

"It has a nice design.", you reply with a nod.

"I'm glad you like it," chuckled Sonia,

"After all this will be your home for this and the year to come."

"..."

"Come, let's go and get the keys for your room."

2 minutes later inside the dorm.

The lobby was also very modern in design, it felt like being in a luxury hotel or a high-tech hospital.

You and Sonia approach the desk where a man, probably the receptionist, stood up ready to welcome you both "Welcome, to Goalwick dorm, how can I help you?" the man asked politely.

"Hi, I'm Sonia, and I've been given the task of picking up this young man at the airport and bringing him here." Sonia told him.

"Right!" the man said enthusiastically,

"If I remember correctly it was a last-minute registration," the man said as he browsed his computer.

"Uhm... may I have your name please?" the man asked.

"It's Victor Sandmann.", you replied without hesitation.

"Aha!" exclaimed the satisfied man,

"Victor Sandmann, from Anville Town, Unova."

"Let me check your room number... room 1511 on the fifth floor." the man turned to look at a numbered bulletin board full of keys, after pointing the number 1511 he took the hanging key, turns towards you to give you the key.

"Here's the key to your room."

"Thanks."

"Perfect, now all we have to do is get you to your room."

Sonia said, you nodded picking up your suitcase, following her.

On the way to your room, you and Sonia passed by a huge meeting hall, where the flags of the Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, Alola, Galar, and others regions hung on the walls.

You pass right in front of the main corridor leading to the cafeteria and restrooms, reaching the elevator and stairs.

Inside the elevator.

"Fifth floor, right?" Sonia asked you.

"Yes.", you responded.

"Ok!", she pressed the number 5 button

"Up we go!"

After a few seconds of going up, the elevator stops, and you hear a clank and the elevator opens, you finally reached your destination.

A few minutes after.

After you exited the elevator you walked down a corridor full of numbered doors on both sides, you finally stopped in front of a door on the right side that has the number 1511 on it.

"Here's your room.", Sonia said.

You opened the door with the key you received from the receptionist and after entering, you turn on the lights.

"Neat." you look around your new room, it was relatively small with the bed and desk that was placed near the window, taking up most of the space, with a quick glance you also notice a wardrobe next to the bed, a mini-fridge near the desk and finally a small flat-screen TV attached to the right wall.

"Nice isn't it?" Sonia smiled.

"Mhmm." you nod:

"It looks cozy."

You told her, making her smirk.

"Well, I will be going now."

"I still have some business to take care of."

"Okay, thanks again for the help.", you said.

"No problem, Victor."

"One more thing if you need to go to the bathroom, it's right here behind this door." she pointed to the door near the entrance.

"Lastly, if you're hungry, I have something for you." after rummaging in her bag, she pulled out a paper bag,

"It's from the school canteen, enjoy your meal." she handed the bag to you.

"Thanks."

"I will pick you up tomorrow morning for the dorm and school tour."

"Goodnight." she waved as she went out and closed the door behind her, you heard her footsteps moving away from your room.

After packing your suitcase in a corner of the room, grabbing your loungewear, and putting them on, you ate the sandwiches Sonia gave you, looking out of the window.

You looked around again to check if everything was fine, finally after checking your smartphone and a short session in the bathroom, you decide to go to bed and sleep.

While you were lying on the bed trying to sleep, you think back to today's events, you think of your parents and classmates in Unova, the quarrel you had with your parents, your ex-girlfriend, with whom you broke up a week before leaving, and how since you announced your departure your friends have distanced themselves from you.

While you were thinking about all of this, you slowly fall into a deep sleep probably due to travel fatigue.

Borderline of Madness DAN ver.

You wake up abruptly, once again you are not in the place where you were supposed to be.

Instead of being in your new dorm room, you are in front of a bare and vast landscape.

The floor you are standing on is totally purple, while the sky is tinged with a magenta color, you see scarlet clouds and what looked like a dark red aurora.

As you look around with fear, trying to figure out where you are, an eerie voice from an unknown location echoes all around you.

"Why?" the mysterious voice seemed to ask you.

"Why are you suffering?" you turn around in all directions, looking for who was speaking, in vain.

"Searching, maintain, ending relationships..." the voice continued,

"All actions that only cause pain to people."

"Don't you agree?" it seems to be asking you again.

"Life would be much easier if everyone thought only of themselves."

"Without any concern for others."

After a while, you realize that the voice came from the strange aurora above you, watching it carefully you wait for it to continue its discourse.

"You seem to be in disagreement…" the voice noticed your facial expression of annoyance.

"You, who more than others should know how heavy it is, the burden that one carries when interacting with others.", despite understanding painfully what the eerie voice was alluding to, you kept your determinate look challenging him with a stare.

Suddenly your mind starts to blur, and you find yourself struggling to not close your eyes.

"If you are so confident of your ideas, go! And try to prove me otherwise!" you hear the voice saying as you lose consciousness.

"I'm sure that sooner or later we will meet again, in the meantime I'll wait patiently for you." silence then falls and everything around you turns black as you lose consciousness.

End of Chapter 1

Author's Notes

Hi, my name is Dreamer, and like so many on these sites my dream is to become a writer of success.

I'm not going to take long so stick which me for a few minutes, I wanted to write stories, since I start reading back in elementary school, and all though I was known for not doing my homework, I always gladly did the homework of literature where I had to make my own stories, and not to brag or anything but many teachers and friends told me that I should start writing stories since I had such an imaginative mind.

Anyway all though I have plenty of original stories I want to write about, I decided to start off easy by writing a Fanfiction of already existing fictional universes, in this case, being the one of Shin Megami Tensei Persona and Pokémon.

Finally, I want to thank the few readers who took interest in this fiction of mine and I really want to hear your opinions thus far; tips on how to structure my writings, grammatical errors, and any other comments will be gladly accepted.

That will be all for me so till next time farewell everybody.

Arrivederci.
