Gates to Infinity
Chapter 1
A Nightmare with Awakening
"Wha, what is that. Why is chasing that …… Who, who are y-you? ……. H-hey stop g-get back."
A little axew gasped for air as he awoke from a nightmare in the middle of a forest.
"Where am I?" He pondered gazing at the forest around him. The mon got up, stretched a little, and looked up at the sky. He couldn't remember what happened to him, but he did remember that dream. He thought out loud, trying to process he had juts saw.
"Hm, that dream was weird, that Hydreigon looked very scary. That poor Munna looked really frightened and what was tha-...Wait why is there a big spike on my-"
He rushed over to the pool of water nearby and gazed into its crystal waters. Its glassy sight revealed his reflection to be of an axew. The little Mon jumped back in shock. He crawled back to the pool and looked again, hoping that the previous sight was just the light playing tricks with the water. alas, he saw his reflection. He backed up and sat down on the ground. He curled up into a little ball, afraid. In his head, a multitude of thoughts, concerns, fears, reasoning, and plain gibberish flowed in and out of his conscious.
"What happened? How is this possible? I mean why am I an axew and yet don't feel that I am? What was I before?"
He sat down, closed his eyes, and thought real hard for a second. His moment of silenced paid off.
"Ohh that's right a human... What's a human!? I don't think it's what I am now. I mean if it was, I wouldn't be freaking out, right? Or do I just not remember what I look like?"
In a fit of frustration, the axew gave a loud cry to the trees around him. After about three minutes of ranting he rested on his knees and decided to think positive. "Well, since I can't remember who I am, maybe I can see where I am."
The mon got to his feet and steadied his balance. He apparently wasn't used to the body structure fully and had to walk a little ways before getting the hang of it.
"Okay, I believe I've got it. Huh?" Amid the brush and tree limbs he noticed rock formations. The closer he walked to it the higher it grew. It was a cliff.
Deciding a better view was the best option, the dragon type made his way through the quiet forest. It felt strange. There wasn't anyone here, but he couldn't shake a feeling of intrusion. He brushed it aside, using the excuse of his waking up as reason to not trust his senses just yet.
Upon reaching the cliff side, he was intimidated by the sheer steepness it shared with its towering height. He looked around for an easier way up, but no such path revealed itself. He gave up on searching for an easier way, and mustered his resolve.
"Fine, if I have to climb it I will." He pep talked himself and began his ascent. It wasn't easy with his axew blades from his cheeks, but he was making steady progress. Unfortunately he hadn't made it halfway before he lost his footing and plummeted back to his starting spot. He picked himself up and tried again, and again and again. After six attempts to reach the top, none of which even made it halfway up the cliff, he let out his frustration in a yell of anger. He walked over to a pine tree and sat against it. After a few minutes of ranting in his head, he began to see an orange light illuminating the area.
"Oh great, it's almost sunset. I'll be here in this forest all alone." His frustration gradually changed to discouragement. He was alone, and no one was around. He curled up against the tree. He was scared, and began to snivel. Suddenly he heard a voice.
"Is that? Huh, hey I wasn't expecting someone here." The axew turned to see a green thing staring at him from about ten feet away. Of course, the poor guy was startled and was about to run when the thing urged him that he meant no harm. It walked up to the axew and began to conversation.
"Hello there, are you lost?" it inquired.
"Uhm……..yeah" was the reply.
"Well I don't blame you" It cheerfully commented, "I would be lost to if I was in a new place." This got the axew's attention and he immediately responded.
"How did you know that‽" The stranger was startled at first, but went on to explain.
"Oh, I was just guessing. I mean, you are an axew and their not really found in this part of Winthrobax. They usually reside in the north-western part of the continent, near the Icy Volcano Vázalva."
All the axew could do was tilt his head in confusion. Realizing that the lost mon didn't have any understanding, the stranger decided to get to know this axew he had discovered.
"So what's your name?" It asked with a smile.
"Um…." The axew paused, trying to remember what it was. This left the Mon a bit perplexed.
"You do know your name right?" It asked the frustrated axew. However, it backed away for Uther was determined to get it, even if it meant swinging his head around. After about ten seconds of freaking the stranger out, he began to form a word in his head.
"I know this. I can feel it forming in my head. U…..Uth…….U-Uther? Yeah that's it Uther." The axew exclaimed in joy, only further adding to the stranger's puzzlement.
"Oookay, nice to meet you Uh-Uuuther." He greeted, "My name is Vincent, but I prefer to be go by Vines."
"Pardon me for asking mister, oh sorry, Vincent" Uther inquired, "But what exactly are you?" This unusual question sent a spur of laughter from the mon. Uther pointed out that he was being serious.
"Really?" Vines questioned, "You don't know what a snivy is?"
"No I don't, Is that what you are?" Uther confirmed.
The Snivy put his right hand on his head and stopped his smile. He was in a mix of amazement and slight pity for this little mon. But he wasn't a mon that would turn down a stranger in the woods, especially if that stranger wasn't even around here. His grinned returned and me said,
"Well, yes. My, I wasn't wrong about you not being from around here. So where are you from Uther?"
This cause the axew to pause. He didn't know where he came from, but he did know that he was a human once. He would look crazy for saying that, he argued against the notion telling Vines. But something about Vines' smile of interest and friendliness sent Uther on a guilt trip.
"I can't tell him that." He argued in his head, "But, maybe he knows something I don't, I mean I don't know if humans are here, and more importantly, I need to know where I am. If I lie to him, then it could get me in big trouble. But what if he does think I'm lying!" Uther scratched his head looking left to right having the inner argument as Vines continued waiting for an answer. Finally, Uther's truth teller conscience won and finally decided to be honest. And after a deep breathe told this grass type stranger that he didn't know where he was from, but that wherever he was from, he was once a human there.
"…..Wha?" Was the only reply Uther received.
"Oh dear" Uther thought, "I shouldn't have done that. I'm such an idiot. He must think I'm crazy."
"Wow, that's a first." Vines chuckled a little, "But I believe you." If Uther's jaw could extend his body's size it would have hit the ground.
"You're just going to believe me," Uther muttered with scepticism, "Despite the fact of how ludicrous it sounded that it made you laugh?"
"Yeah, it does sound farfetched, but who am I to judge. After all, you don't have any memories, nor do you seem to know your way around."
"But, what if I'm lying?" Uther pushed for a real answer.
"I don't think so." Vines replied, "You see, last night some purple comet landed near Ragged Mountain. I decided to check it out in the morning and I found you now. I don't claim it to be true but maybe you came in that comet. Besides, it's not like you aren't the first Pokémon to come here via comet."
"Really?" Uther asked, surprised at the answer.
"Sure," Vines nodded, "I'll tell you about some, but first you don't appear to have a place to stay right?" Uther shook his head "no".
"Well, then how about you come with me. I'm on my way to Post Town. If you want to tag along that would be awesome. Ragged mountain is a little perilous and it would be better for both of us to travel together. And when you get there you might find someone that knows you. So what do you say?" Uther thought for a second. Then agreed.
"Then it's settled." Vines nodded as he started along the side the cliff, "The approach to the route through Ragged Mountain is a ways this way. Come on let's go." Vines along with Uther headed for the entrance, exchanging questions and answers along the way.
