Chapter: 1

Blackness. That was all that was surrounding him, just darkness. A scorching pain inflicted his right shoulder and he winced. Of course, naturally most people would clutch at it, but he couldn't move. Laughing. Not just any laughing. A demented child laughing. "S-Stop it!" he pleaded. Still, the pain increased and the laughter grew more.

A blinding light overtook him and a voice appeared. "Find the light, for you are the victor." the voice told him. He was astonished, he didn't know what it was or who it was. "W-What? I am the victor?" he asked. "For you shall be the one to overcome, what no one else has ever done before. Bring light upon this dark world." the voice told him.

The pain grew intensely, and he yelled out into displeasure.

He woke up, breathing hard. "W-Where am I?" he asked. "Who am I?" he added. Fear clouded his mind. It was dark, and he was in the woods, being surrounded by trees and utter blackness. A rustle came to a nearby bush.

He turned his attention towards it and shivered, mainly out of fear. Then, he got up and ran off. All that mattered was to get somewhere, anywhere! He was out here by himself and was scared.

As the man tripped and slowly fell to the ground, he felt a pair of eyes upon him. "Please... Please stop this madness..." he pleaded. There was a great pain in his forehead and he passed out.

Something approached him, a Pokemon. Its fur was black with red fur. "Zor?" it asked. The creature had never seen a figure like this, especially one that was not shrouded with the darkness. Its curiosity got the better of it and the Pokemon got closer to the human.

It tilted its head and walked to the human, and poked it. He groaned, startling the Pokemon. He budged slightly and stopped. The Pokemon saw the wound on his forehead, to which the human didn't notice, before he fell, of course.

The Pokemon went to him and picked him up, lifting him over its shoulder and running off. It dashed through the trees of the unsafe haven of the natural world. Nothing was safe anymore; nothing and nobody was left untouched by the darkness that covered the world.

It begun like a simple case of the flu, then spread faster than anybody could notice it. In fact, nobody could even know what it was until the time was too late. Only the very few people, who managed to escape from the virus, died quickly.

The world had become quickly uninhabitable. One man, stood out of the survivors, and found an antidote. But, it would only help those who haven't been affected. Now, the few people who took the antidote, couldn't get the infection from the air, or the water, only from blood exchange.

By now, the Pokemon had reached its home, inside of a small cave, just in time, before thunder was heard and the temperature began to drop. The Pokemon knew that this human wasn't affected by the virus, or at least, not yet, so it decided to help it.

Now, the Pokemon ran off in search for wood or something to burn. It had come across a TM for flamethrower, which had come in handy very many times. She found a fallen tree, with fungus growing out of it, as it slowly decomposes the rotten tree.

It picked the tree up, since it was light, of course it wasn't a very large tree, and ran back to the human. When it had come back to the human, he was still passed out. It broke the tree up with its Shadow Claw and stacked it into a pile. Now, it was just beginning to rain.

It used Flamethrower on the newly stacked pile of wood and sat down; it hadn't had much to eat, but now, there, in front of it, was a human, not much meat on him, but still a meal to it, sleeping.

It didn't want to kill him, he was the first human that wasn't infected that it had seen. He moaned and rubbed his head, where it had been bleeding, but had since healed, leaving a small scar that could easily be re-opened.

As he sat up, the Pokemon took notice of his presence. "Zoro?" it asked, in a sound that looked like a feminine voice. He froze and opened his eyes to see a rather beautiful creature, sitting on the opposite side of a fire, looking at him. "Uh... Hi?" he nervously responded.

The Pokemon got up and slowly walked closer to him, cautious that he may try something. It sat next to him and looked at him in wonder. "Oooook?" he told himself and the Pokemon. "Are you going to hurt me?" he also asked, as his mind kicked back into gear.

It must have understood him because she shook her head, 'no'. He relaxed a bit, then asked, "What's your name?" It shrugged then he asked, "Do you want one?" It nodded happily. "Hm... How about...Pearl?" he begun. It shook its head.

"Jack?"

Again, it shook its head.

"Harrison?"

It shook its head once again.

"...Bob?" he asked.

Another nod, then it pointed to its private parts, showing that it wasn't a man.

"Oh! Sorry... Uh.. How about Jasmine?" he asked. She thought it was an odd name, but she liked it so she nodded. "Alright Jasmine. My name is... Uh... What is my name?" he told her. Jasmine poked him, then pointed toward herself.

"You want to name me?" he asked. She nodded. "...I guess that's fair." He told her. She took a hold of her hair and pointed to the red part of it. "Um.. Hair?" he asked. She shook her head. "Uh... Red?" he asked, following a nod. "Alright, I am Red and you are Jasmine. Seems fair. Now if you'll excuse me Jasmine..." Red told her as he passed out.

"Zoro, Zoroark?" she asked.
