The oil's at your chin. You can barely breathe. You reach for the small ladder in the tank, but the oil's too sticky and full. You can't get to it. It's at your nose now. Your fate is here. It's inevitable. You can hear a lot of dark and twisted laughter outside the tank. Then, you see a bunch of light, you see the village getting attacked, your parents dying, everything. Your life is flashing before your eyes. You are so lost in thought of your demise that you don't even notice it when the oil suddenly stops. The oil is directly below your nose. If you do as much as breathe, it will go through your nose. suddenly, you hear something clanking and turning, and suddenly, the hatch opens. Suddenly, you get pulled out. When you land, you immediately fall to the ground, horrified. You feel like you are about to pass out, but you look up and see your saviors. A Rockruff and a Pidgey. You recognize them both. Behind them, Rei. You try to say your name to say thank you, but instead, you pass out.
When you wake up, you are lying down on the beach again. You feel a lot better. You look around and see everyone there... but Rockruff... there's Pidgey and Rei, but Rockruff's gone. You get up and say thank you to them. Pidgey knows what you're saying, but to Rei, it just sounds like your name.
"I don't know how the fuck Akari understands you guys..." Rei says.
Pidgey tweets a little.
"How are you feeling, Pikachu?" Rei asks.
You nod your head a bit and say your name a few times.
"When im done trying to understand you guys, I'm going to need to see a therapist."
You laugh a bit.
"Well... it was kind of nice getting to know you guys, but I need to go. And listen. Pikachu. Nobody hears about this. Okay?"
You nod your head. Then Rei gets up and leaves. You and Pidgey talk for a while, but then suddenly you get tackled by something. After you get up and turn around, Rockruff licks your face.
"Hi there!" Says Rockruff.
"Hi..." you reply.
"Listen. Pikachu, Pidgey. Run. Run as far as you can. Danger's coming." Rockruff says, in a serious tone.
"What? No. If danger's near, I'm staying." You say.
"No, Pikachu. It's a worse danger. Worse than Charizard."
"Rockruff. No."
She bites your arm and drags you into the woods, then she throws you in and makes some sort of wall out of rock, all across the forest. But thrn you see a small Ponyta walk right through it. So you try and it doesn't work. Great. It only works for you. You run through the woods, and soon you find you are completely lost. After walking a bit more you can hear a bunch of people. Humans. You're near Jubilife. Suddenly, someone grabs you. You can't escape but you know only one person that could hold you back like this. Akari.
"Listen. This is for your own good" she says, then she knocks you out.
You wake up, still in her arms.
"So this is your pokemon?" You hear someone say.
"Y-yeah." Akari says.
"Well, welcome to the pokemon daycare! May i take the pokemon for a bit?"
"Yeah. Here." Akari hands you to the person and she takes you down a hallway that splits into 3 directions. The sign pointing left says "daycare" the sign going straight says "medical" and the sign going right says "breeding". You turn right. Wait. Where are we going? Fuck. They take you to the breeding section and lock you in a cage by yourself. You see a lot of other cages with other pokemon in them. You're stuck in a breeding center. Maybe this fate is worse than an oil tank.
