Prologue
"Hey Riko! Wanna come over and hang out?" Mark came over and asked. He was the captain of the Track and cross country team.
I knew what he was going to ask "No Mark I don't want to join your team!" I said as I kept walking.
"Come on Riko, you have the best track record anyone has ever seen! You've got to join!" He persisted.
"I said no Mark, besides I've got stuff to do!" I said as I sprinted off. I never did want to join a sports team, it was to much attention for me.
"Let's see what he does over the weekend, what makes him such an athlete, did you get his address Luke?" Mark asked as his friend, Luke who was a computer geek but fairly fit walked to him.
"Yeah, it's a bit far, and in the forest a bit, so let's hurry before he gets to the woods."
Today was my birthday and there was something I needed to do. I hopped in my car and sped off without a single thought of the speed limit. My thoughts were racing the whole way to my house. My dad told me to open this when I was 18, it has been 2 years since then and I was dying of curiosity to know what was in it.
I saw my house, perched up on the side of the mountain. It was a Japanese style house, with a wall around itabout 7 feet high that completely surrounded it.
I opened the front gate and pulled the car in. I made sure that no animals had gotten in and stolen any Koi from the pond.
I slid open the front door and took off my shoes. I rushed to the cellar and saw the chest that dad left for me popped open. It was a timer lock that was set to open on this date, but I never tried to open it.
I walked over and took a deep breath and opened it, what I saw shocked me, there were 2 knives, they were both sheathed, but what was designed on them was what shocked me even more. Small steel Rayquazas were hand guards, and other legendary Pokémon we carved into the steel. I picked them both up and unsheathed them.
Each blade was a dark gray, and unreasonably light. "Dad, you never even mentioned Pokémon, what do you want me to do?" I started to cry, I heard thunder outside, but that never stopped me from training every weekend.
There was a black leather belt in the bottom of the box. I picked it up and wrapped it around, my waist, there was a small metal plate on the back, and when I put the sheathed knives near it, but the shot out of my hand and stuck to it crossed like and x. I sighed "Well, I'd better get ready." I said as I turned and walked up the stairs. I went into my room and grabbed my large backpack and began to pack neccesary things for camping.
I double checked the bag and was satisfied with the results. I went downstairs and passed the small shrine in the living room. On it were lit essences and a picture of a tall man with black hair a blue eyes, and a slightly big build, next to him there was a shorter women, with smooth silver hair, and purple eyes. I bowed and said "Goodbye" and left.
-------------------------------------------------------
"So this is where he lives?! It's a really nice place, great for a party!" Mark said, marveling at the sight.
"We'll convince him later, but now we just watch what he does. Look! Here he comes now!" Luke said as he pointed to Riko coming out of the front gate. He sprinted off into the forest at an unimaginable speed.
"Hurry! We can't lose him!" Mark said as he began to run. It wasn't long before they both ran out of breath, but what they saw didn't make it matter to them. Riko was jumping up the cliff face, like he was completely ignoring the laws of gravity!
---------------------------------------------------------------
"Mom, Dad every weekend I come out here for an answer to what I am, but I've never gotten an answer. Ever since I was little, I've never gotten out of breath and whenever I got hurt, I've healed at a disturbing rate, so I'll ask again, WHAT THE HELL AM I!?!?"
The rain began to fall hard, but it didn't matter to me. I hung my head and began to cry.
"What are you trying to tell me father, Pokémon is just a story made from Japanese guy, but these knives feel genuine, TELL ME!" as soon as I said that a bolt of lightning shot out of the sky and shatter a the piece of rock that I was standing on from the cliff. I was knocked back by the shock wave and off the edge.
"This is how I die huh?" I said quietly, but a bright light began to shine beneath me and before I could look to see what it was, I was engulfed in light and fell unconscious.
----------------------------------------------
"What the hell just happened?!" Mark exclaimed
"I-I don't know, but how are we going to tell what we just saw?!" Luke snapped back.
"Alright, we didn't see anything, we were never here, when he turns up missing, we don't say a word, got it?!" Mark said.
"I don't know man, I'm not sure if I can keep my cool, I mean we thought he was going to die, but he disappeared into that light!"
"Then tell me Luke, how the hell are we going to explain this to the police!? We saw Riko fall off a cliff and disappear into light?! We'll just get sent to the asylum!" The both fell silent and began to walk back, drenched in water and the weight of the world on their minds.Chapter End Notes:yeah, hopefully this series doesn't turn out to be a fai
