Prologue

It all started on Wednesday 24th of August 2020. The strange occurrence went world wide in a matter of hours. It confused everyone, nobody could make sense of it. It became the number one world mystery, but, on Thursday 24th of August 2020, it came to me with a flash. It took me a while but, I finally made sense of it. This is my story, and how I came to this new world. Who am I? Lucy, that is who I am. Lucy Wilkins.

Lucy woke up with heavy eyes and a loud yawn. She stretched herself out and slowly got herself out of bed. She walked slowly towards the bathroom, once there she shut the door behind her and quickly locked it. She took her underwear off and got in the shower. Her long, brown shoulder length hair quickly got wet as she turned on the shower. It didn't take long for her shower and wash her hair. Her soft blue eyes were directed to the black towel which hung upon the rack. She turned the shower off and then began to dry herself it was then that she got herself dressed and ready to go out. She brushed her teeth and then grabbed her school bag. With that, she walked out the door and towards the school.

Lucy was quite a young girl. She had only just hit teenage years, being age 13. She hated school, she would do anything to get out of it, sadly, she every time she did, she was punished and to be honest, the punishment wasn't worth it. She sighed softly and walked through the school gates, and into the school building. Her first lesson was English. She actually wasn't bad at that. In fact, it was her favorite lesson. She knew all her grammar, spellings and punctuation. It was too easy for her, she was on a much higher level than all her other class mates. English lasted two hours. Next, it was maths, which she hated. She was terrible at maths. She was ok at adding and take away, but division, times table and fractions she was absolutely useless on and it lasted two whole hours! Then it was ICT, which she wasn't bad on. It was actually her second favorite lesson. Then her last lesson was history, which she found to be interesting. She believed history would repeat for those who did not learn from it. Her school time came to eight hours in total and that was without the breaks.

Once she had finally finished school, she began to walk on home. She hated school, she would do anything to get out of it if it wasn't for the fact that she'd get punished for it. School was so boring. She sighed softly, and threw her back on the settee once she had arrived back home. She walked up stairs and jumped in bed. She grabbed her headphones from her draws, and placed it over her head. She then plugged them into her phone and clicked play. With the music playing, she couldn't hear anything else. It blocked off the outside world. She closed her eyes and just relaxed herself as the music played. After about five minutes, she had fallen asleep. Hours passed by, and soon enough, it hit midnight.

Then, it happened. Just like everyone else in the world, the dream appeared. People began to call it a spirit of some sort. Others said it was a gate to another world. Some would even say it was just a fragment of your imagination but no. That wasn't it at all. Not even close. In this dream, the person was fully aware, it was as if they were awake in their own dream. First, everything went black. Silence, she felt alone, scared. She couldn't see a thing, until, the room began to light up. Everything became white, but there was no smell, no noise. Just a pure white room. At the very end was a large beam of light. She slowly walked towards it until she came to a large lake. She looked inside it to see herself. Everything seemed normal so far. Then, she heard a voice talking to her.

"You, who have entered the void between the human and Pokemon World. You, who's spirit has left their body. The Pokemon World is in danger, if nothing is done soon, billions will die. If nothing is done soon, the world as they know it will be destroyed. That is why you have come here today. Are you willing to sacrifice your life for another? To give up everything you own for a stranger from another world?"

Lucy looked around slowly, was this for real? Sacrifice her own life for a stranger, to give up everything she owned. Obviously, the first answer that came to mind was no. She knew, if given the same answer, billions of people would answer 'no' but, if she said no then billions of people could die...or, 'pokemon' as the voice said. Whatever they were, they would all die if somebody didn't do something. She took a deep breath, and took a few minutes to think about her answer before speaking.

"I...Yes, I am."

She didn't know why, but, she felt like she had to. If she wasn't willing to help, then who would? If she declined now, then who knew what could happen. For all she knew, billions could die before the voice found the one who was willing to help and she couldn't let that happen. She listened out, and sure enough, the voice spoke out again.

"Very well, Lucy. Now, I will send you to the Pokemon World."

Lucy looked around, ready for whatever was about to happen. It was then that the lake began to reflect something strange. She looked closer to see a whole new world within it. She stepped back a little, and took a deep breath. She was about to jump in, when suddenly, she felt her body starting to change. She couldn't help scream as her bones cracked and snapped out of place. Tears streamed down her face as she could feel new bones growing and ripping through her skin to take their place. The pain was immense. The pain was so intense that she actually fainted. Everything went black again, she was out like a log, but, eventually, she reawoke. Her eyes opened weakly and slowly, she looked around. She could hardly remember a thing. All she could remember was a really weird dream. She yawned and stretched herself out. She slowly got herself up and looked around, but, as quickly as she got up, she fell down. She shook her head quickly and looked around. Something was off, something...was off, not right. She felt strange, like she wasn't herself anymore. She looked around some more and then saw some water. She smiled, and slowly looked at her reflection. Her eyes widened as she saw herself. She was no longer a human, but, instead a red fox. She looked at herself, inspecting herself, and for some strange reason, she was a red fox with six tails. How did this happen, and why? She didn't understand. It made no sense at all. She was a human, not some weird animal. She looked around and realized she was on the beach, had she washed up on shore or something? How did that even make sense? She lived nowhere near a beach. She shook her head slowly, and slowly stood on all fours. It...felt strange, but right now it was her only option. After all, she couldn't walk on two legs like this.

Luckily, she was still a female. So, at least that didn't change. She sighed softly, and began to walk on the soft sand. She was alone, lost, confused, she didn't what to do or where to go. All in all, this was by far the strangest day she had ever had, and by the looks of it, the day had only just started. She continued to look around as she walked along the beach, and soon enough, she came to what seemed to be a yellow mouse. She stared at him for a moment before walking up to him.

"Hello...can you help me?"

The yellow mouse turned to look to her, and immediately, a smile came over his face. His eyes lightened up, electricity sparked from his cheeks. He quickly stood up with a happy nod, tail swishing about behind him.

"Of course, of course! What do you want miss?"

Lucy looked around for a moment and then looked back to the mouse. There were a lot of questions roaming about in her head but, she couldn't ask them all at once, otherwise, she'd probably overwhelm him. She took a deep breath and began to speak.

"Where...am I and who, no, what are you? I have never seen anything like you before."

The mouse tilted his head for a moment, of course, he was confused. She should know WHAT he was, and this beach was a very popular place, but, not knowing the name was understandable, he supposed.

"My name is Bolt, and i'm a pikachu. You should know that, after all, we're all pokemon. The beach is called Sunset Beach, just down from Sunset Village. Now, may I ask who you are miss?"

Lucy looked at herself once more, and then looked to the 'Pikachu.' She gave a soft nod of her head then looked down at herself again as she lifted a paw. Pokemon? She had heard of that phrase before, she was sure of it. She looked up to Bolt and gave a smile.

"My name is...my name is... is...I...err... I actually can't remember. I don't even know how I got here or anything. The last I remember, I was a human not a pokemon. I have never even heard of Pokemon before."

Bolt stared at her, with an even more confused look on his face. He had to wonder if she was serious or not but from the look of her face, it seemed that she was serious and that brought worry to him. She was such a beautiful vulpix.

"Human? I have only heard about humans in fairy tales. To me, you seem like an ordinary Vulpix, but, if you can't remember your name, how about I call you Flare? After all, you have to have a name. What do you think work for you?"

She thought for a moment, thinking on the name, Flare...it wasn't a bad name. In fact, she liked it a lot. She gave a small smile and nodded her head. It wasn't much, but it was something at least.

"Yes, the name is lovely. Thank you. Now, please, can you tell me about this world? Tell me about myself and what I am?"

Bolt smiled to her and nodded. That, he could do very easily. He knew a lot about Pokemon. He hadn't met every single species, but, he knew a lot. He stepped forward towards her and began to sing softly.

"Of course I can. I will tell you about each species of pokemon every time you come across one. You are a vulpix. Big blue eyes, pointy nose, tiny paws digging holes, Your fur is red, so beautiful. Your fire is hot, and it's burning me up inside!"

As he finished singing, he gently placed his hand on her cheek but Flare quickly backed up a little. She found that...weird. After all, she had only just met the guy and already he had some sort of thing for her? She was only thirteen of age.

"Err...thanks...So, I'm a vulpix then and apparently I can breath...fire? Strange, well, thanks I guess."

Bolt laughed a little...Oops, did he really say that? He totally didn't mean for that to come out, but, it was true. He found vulpix quite attractive. He looked around and then looked back to her.

"Well, anyway...you probably haven't got a place to stay. If you don't mind, I know a place where you could go. It's Wigglytuff's Guild. Although, in order to stay, you need to join a team and to join a team, you need a partner. To be honest, I never intended to join. One, I couldn't find a suitable partner, and two, even if I did, I saw no point in joining a guild but, since you just got here, it won't be easy for you to find a partner but, if you don't mind, I could be your partner, and show you around the area. What do you think?"

Flare listened to Bolt and sighed softly. Things get worse every minute. She thought about her options for a minute, thinking carefully on what to do. Either wander around, lost and homeless to look for a suitable partner, or to partner up with a pikachu who seemed to have a thing for her, who knew the area, was relatively kind and helpful, and seemed to know a lot about this world. She sighed once more, she didn't really have a choice, did she?

"Ok, I'll partner up with you. I guess I have no choice but, I don't want a relationship right now. I am only thirteen years old, and I just got here. I am lost, confused and even scared right now. I'm not in the mood for a relationship, so please, don't try anything."

Bolt nodded quickly to her request. He understood perfectly. He didn't plan on making a move on her, after all she had only just arrived and they barely knew each other. She needed to settle in first.

"I understand. I'm fourteen years old. Now, follow me."

He smiled softly and turned towards the beach exit.
