Okiedokey! Let's write a Community Fiction! I have started writing, another, fiction but I want to have 2 copies of this, 1 mine and the other all of ours. Try to keep it clean, swearing is okay, blood is fine, sex is really out of wack. Keep it T for Teen, max it at M for Mature. Sorry, first 2 chapters are all mine Chapter 1 The grass swayed in the gentle wind, the calming sound of water running over smooth rocks could be heard nearby. Such things could be seen and heard in this tranquil place which was surrounded by a thick forest of Conifers. I lay back in the soft grass, gazing at the sky. The occasional cloud graced me with its slow journey from one end of the sky to the other. Only sixteen years old and I was treated like an adult, it drove me nuts. That was probably because I was the oldest kid in town though. I generally came out here, to my 'garden', when I wanted some time to think to myself or if I just wanted to be alone. Today was one of the days I just wanted some alone time. Being the oldest kid in town who still didn't have a Pokemon was hard; I generally got picked on by those that did. A gang of bullies had even attacked me in the forest. I had never told anyone about it as there really was no point. Everyday was a challenge; I had to avoid starting fights over how weird and different I was to the other kids. Today had been one of those days where I was picked on for my clothes, the Dark Green short sleeved jacket over my a brown T-shirt accompanied by Black denim shorts and Dark Green sneakers. Sighing I pulled my snow-White Poke'Nav out of my pocket. I skimmed over the Match call list and put the Navigator into standby when I was satisfied that no one had called me. I lay there, not a care in the world. No one judged me out here; I was just another inhabitant of the forest. It was getting hard to see by the time I left the clearing; I turned and took one last look at it before returning to the forest. As I jumped from one tree branch to another, I had the feeling that someone... or something was watching me. I stopped, perched on the sturdy branch. The soles of my shoes gripped the bark tightly while I scanned the area for anything out of place. Satisfied I leapt to another branch, which suddenly gave out under my weight. I flailed my arms in a desperate attempt to get a handhold, but my fingers found only air. I plummeted towards the ground, it rushed up to meet me and then I was swallowed by unconciousness... "Do you think he will be all right?" "..." "Come now! Will he be all right?" "Gaaaa..." "Oh thank goodness" "Gabiii, bite ga gabite?" "... Come Gabite, let him rest" My eyes snapped open. At first I couldn't see anything. I started to panic, my heartbeat frantically in my chest. Then my eyes finally adjusted to the darkness. I was in a bedroom, though not my own. The floor was layered with timber boards, with a large rug over it. A timber drawer sat on the other side of the room, next to the door. A lamp sat on a bedside table; it was off, leaving the room quite dark. All in all, the room was quite bland and empty. I swung my legs out and slid off the bed, I groaned in pain as I stood. "How did I get here?" I tried to remember what happened before I had fallen asleep... but it was all very hazy. I vaguely remembered falling from a tree, and sitting in my garden. Crying out in frustration I turned towards the door on the other side of the room. I strode over to it, wincing with every step I took. I twisted the knob and pulled the door open. "Oh, good evening!" an oddly dressed lady said from her seat at a large round Teak table. I walked toward her, and collapsed in a chair. "How are you feeling? You did fall quite a way down that tree after all" she said, trying to strike up a conversation. "...My body aches all over, other than that I'm fine... Thank you," I replied after a short while. "You must be hungry, Gabite! Could you please bring the soup out?" she called. There was some loud clanging sounds and a grunt from what I guess was the kitchen, and then a Gabite appeared in the doorway. "Bite!" it exclaimed as it set three bowls and soupspoons down at the table. "It's Creamy-Mushroom-Pumpkin-Cheri soup, Gabite's speciality. Dig in" the lady said. I picked up the spoon, and looked at the delicious soup. I was hungry... but I couldn't eat. "Sorry... I can't eat..." I said quietly. Gabite looked hurt. "Oh it smells and looks delicious... it's just me, tis all" I pushed away from the table, about to get up just as she spoke. "It would be best if you stayed here for the night. There's been some strange events occurring out in the forest as of late." "Look, thank you for helping me... and offering me food and a place to stay. But mum will be scared out of her mind... I have to go home" I said. The lady got up and walked over to a chest of drawers, on top were photo frames with photos of a man and a Gabite... the very same Gabite that was watching me closely. "Both Gabite and I have waited for years... we had almost given up hope." the lady said quietly as she held a picture in her shaking hands. "Waiting? For what?" She turned to me tears running down her cheeks. "For someone like you," she answered in an oddly calm tone. "Why of all people me? I'm not special, I'm not even I Pokemon trainer!" She walked up to me, grabbing my hands and holding them tightly as she gazed into my eyes. Her deep Blue eyes cut into my Hazel ones as she spoke, "And then I saw you, leaping through the trees. My brother did the exact same thing... and was just as good at it as you," she whispered. "Is that what this is about? Because I can jump branch to branch in a forest?" I asked fiercely. She released my hands and turned away, suddenly she started sobbing. I reached out and put my hand on her shoulder. "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to get angry" I said quietly. She turned back to me, her eyes red and puffy from being rubbed. "That is-hic-fine, It is I-hic-that should be-hic-apologizing... I should have-hic-told you-hic-what I wanted from-hic-you before..." she managed to say. Gabite pushed past me with a Tissue box perched on his arms; he brought the box up to the lady so she could take a Tissue. "Oh thank-hic-you Gabite!" She hugged the smaller Blue Dragon Pokemon. I waited a few moments before talking again. "By the way... what's your name?" I asked her. She looked up from Gabite's shoulder and was silent for a moment, and then she replied, "I am Ellen" "Well Ellen, I'm Joseph" I said calmly, my arms folded over my chest. I sat back down at the table, "And I guess it won't kill me to stay the night either," Ellen sat at the table too, followed by Gabite. "I guess I should tell you why Gabite and I have waited for you... Why we need you,” she said after she had managed to calm down. Gabite began gulping his soup down as Ellen started to tell me about her brother Erik, they were twins and about three years ago Erik had gone missing. Ellen had searched for him with the help of her partner Pokemon, Gabite, and had found out that he had been attacked by a group of Pokemon. From what she told me, these Pokemon were also responsible for the recent attacks and disappearances of trainers between towns. "But why do you need me? I'm no trainer and you'd be better off with one" I said after she had finished. "Because, you are special - despite what you may think" she answered simply. I rolled my eyes, "Oh really? And how on earth do you know that?" Ellen rose from her chair and walked over to the chest of drawers. "I was told... by someone important, that you were destined for the task ahead. Whether you chose to accept your destiny, or to flee from it will decide what kind of person you are" She whispered, almost inaudibly. "Oh, so now you're a Prophet! Fan-bloody-tastic" I said as sarcasticly as possible. Ellen turned to me, holding a small object in the palm of her hand. Curious I got up and took a closer look at it. The object was quite obviously an amulet, a small diamond shaped peice of metal hung on a string. The carvings on the diamond were of the highest quality, a professional must have worked this peice of jewelry. "What exactly is it?" I asked, my gaze returning to Ellen's startling blue eyes. "I do not know it's specific function... however, I do know that it is rightfully yours" she answered myseteriously. Sighing, she returned to the table and collapsed in a heap upon the chair. "You should rest now. I will be away for the next few days, so remember to say your farewells to those you hold close to your heart. I shall come for you on the Crescent moon" She said, quite obviously exhausted. I went back into the bedroom, collapsed on the bed and tried to make sense of everything. Destined? Destined for what? And this amulet doesn't help me in the slightest. I lay there, thinking until sleep finally took over, sending me to a world of impossibities, grand adventures and friends. Boy, if I knew back then that these dreams would become reality, I would not have believed it for a second.

Chapter 2 "SPEAROW!!!" I shot up from the bed, startled by the sudden cry of a Spearow perched on a branch of a tree just outside the window. Groaning I rolled out of bed and onto the hard wood floor, "Oof!" I pushed myself off the floor and stretched, the bright sunlight streamed in through the window. I looked around the room, then realised that it wasn't mine. "Oh, that's right I'm in Ellens house..." I said to no one in particular. "SPEAR!" the Spearow cried suddenly. "Oh shut up will you!?" I shouted at the bird. It jumped in surprise and fell towards the ground, only just managing to pull into a glide ten centimetres from the ground. Yawning I walked out into the main area of the house, last nights soup bowls and spoons were gone, replaced by a smaller bowl of porridge. "Uck, thanks Gabite but I hate Porridge" I walked into the Kitchen, my throat was parched. Searching the cupboards in the kitchen that contained cups, I worked my way around the kitchen until I reached the sink which had a small ceramic cup in it. I filled the cup with water from the tap and gulped it down thirstily. Placing the cup back in the sink I leaned forward. The sound of metal on metal suddenly rang out in the small room. I pushed back, and looked down at the amulet that hung from my neck. Rubbing it between my fingers, I returned to the main room and strode over to the front door. My shoes sat next to the door, they had been cleaned off, no mud whatsoever on them. "Thanks" I muttered as I pulled them on and walked out the front door. The forest welcomed me, the warm sunlight beamed down through the canopy of leaves overhead. The various native Pokemon scurried across the forest floor, through the trees and flew overhead. Smiling I turned and took the well beaten dirt path that, I hoped, lead to route 209. From Route 209 I could get back to Lumina Town, I pulled my Poke'nav from its Pocket and tapped the power up button. Nothing happened, no ping, no flash... nothing. "Ohhh man. I broke it! Mum's gonna kill me..." I shoved it back into the pocket of my jacket and marched further along the path. The trees started to thin out; meaning I was near town, or the route atleast. As I stepped out onto the wide road that made up Route 209, an excrutiating pain exploded in my head. I fell onto all fours, gasping for air as the pain consumed me. <Help... Please...> "OH GOD, IT HURTS!!!" I screamed, only half aware of the voice. <Please... you... must help me...> I rolled over onto my side and curled up into a fetal ball, the amulet fell onto my nose. It had a gold Aura. <Please... Chosen one... save me...> The pain started to subside. I uncurled myself. "It's in my head... the voice is in my head..." I murmured. Putting all my concentration into this one question I thought: <Where are you?> ... <Drakyl Ruins... please hurry, I can't last much... longer...> The voice faded away, its owners presence gone. I struggled to get up but collapsed once more. Laying there half conscious, I realized that I hated myself for being so weak. "Oh gawd, It's Joseph!" someone shouted from further down the path. I tried to move but enduring the pain had taken everything away from me. "Oh man, come on we gotta get him back to Lumina, maybe Joy can help" another voice said, this one was closer to me. I felt rough hands grab me then roll me over onto my back. It was Darren and Cecil. Darrens broad rimmed hat kept his eyes in the shadows, no one has seen his eyes. And Cecil's sunglasses concealed his eyes to everyone but a few friends. The two trainers helped me to my feet. "Jeez, it's like he's seen a ghost or somethin'," Darren whispered. They carried me back to Lumina; which took only five minutes, although it seemed an eternity to me. The two older men half dragged half carried me into the Pokemon Center shouting. "JOY!" "JOY!" "NURSE JOY!?" Finally there was a reply from the room behind the counter. "What is all this racket- oh dear, Joseph what happened to you?" "We found him on Route 209, just layin' there" Darren explained. "He hasn't uttered a word since we found him..." Cecil added with a worried expression on his face. "Oh dear, he's in shock." Nurse Joy said before running into the back room, she emerged with a bottle of pink liquid. "Sit him down on that chair please" she said calmly, she was in control now. Darren and Cecil dropped me into the chair to the right of the counter, and stepped out of Nurse Joy's way. She poured some of the liquid into a spoon and pushed it to my lips, I managed to open them enough so that the spoon slid in. Nurse Joy turned to Darren and Cecil, "There, he should be okay after a short rest, meanwhile you two should go tell his mother that you found him." "Right, we'll be right back buddy don't you worry." Cecil said, giving me a thumbs up. "Yep, just hang in there, we'll be back with ya mam pronto" Darren added with a goofy grin before they rushed out the sliding doors. Nurse Joy knelt in front of me, a worried look on her face. "What happend out there Joseph? Were you attacked?" I shook my head then whispered "They need help... I have to find them... Please Nurse Joy... I have to" She recoiled, obviously she hadn't expected me to talk. "Who Joseph? Who needs help?" She asked. I took in a deep breath, gathering my strength. "I don't know... But I have to find them... They need help" Just then the doors slid open again and Mum burst in, "OH JOSEPH! YOU'RE OKAY!" She latched onto me, refusing to let go even at Nurse Joy's request. "They said you were dead, that the bandits got you... Oh I'm so happy you're alive" Mum sobbed into my shoulder. Tears welled up in my eyes. I knew Mum loved me, but I never knew she and so many people would care. "I wasn't attacked Mum... I fell from a tree and blacked out, a kind lady called Ellen who lives in the forest with her partner Gabite took me back to her house where she let me stay the night" I whispered into her ear. "Oh thank heavens you're all right... I couldn't have lived on if I lost you like your fath-" she stopped abruptly. My father was a topic of conversation my Mum and I avoided. "I know" I said. Mum finally relinquished her grip on me "Come on Joseph, we're going home" Nurse Joy stepped forward, "I think it's best if Joseph rests the day here, he's been under a lot of stress... he was in shock when Darren and Cecil brought him in here" Mum looked at me, I nodded. "I-Uh... oh okay" she said, giving in was hard for her. She hugged me one last time before Nurse Joy escorted me to the overnight room. "Rest in here until you think you're ready" she said before closing the door and returning to attend to my Mum. I strained to hear what they said. Nurse Joy: "I think it's best if he's taken to a hospital, just so he can be checked for internal injuries and such." Mum: "Okay" Nurse Joy: "And maybe see a Psychiatrist too, he was in shock but I'm afraid he's also traumatized..." Mum: "I-Errr... guess that means we'll be gone atleast a week." A week! That person couldn't last a week, I have to run away, go and help them myself. I thought. I waited until Mum left, and then I staggered to the window. I opened it as queitly as possible and clambered outside. I dropped in a heap in the dirt, startling a Zigzagoon that was going through the garbage. Struggling up from the ground I turned and stumbled away from the Pokemon Center. I left my home town far behind me as I stumbled through the forest. ~~~ Okay guys, write away!
