4 Awakening (1/2)

[Where am I?], a thought emerged within the vast nothingness, it sounded confused and insecure, and as quite as a whisper.

”I would love to have a Pikachu when I become a trainer hihihi!”, vague voices and visions appeared in the dark surroundings, creating a feeling of familiarity.

[What has happened ...], the disembodied voice wondered to itself.

”Atiqo, please be more diligent in your studies, the company needs you!”

[Atiqo ...], that name, it felt important ... but why?

”Son, cough, when I am gone, promise you will be there for them. You will be the man of the family then!”

[No ....], a sudden pain ran through its mind, pain and sorrow, but where did it come from?

”Who bullied you? You will definitely become a Pokemon Trainer Brendon! I will make it possible, I promise!”

[Brendon ... I promised you, I-I have to ...], it felt like he remembered something, grasped something, but it was a feeling without substance. Just a touch of a memory.

”Is he a walking corpse?! Is this the walking dead?!”

[He, who is he ... there was a watch ... ]

”Huh, huh, the Viridian Forest is bigger than I thought. I hope I will find the Pikachu sooner than later. I promised you Brendon! I will make it possible ... at least for you!”

[What is going on?]

”The Pokemon World, huh, so it's real!”

[Who is this?!]

”I am sorry dad. I failed you, I failed them all!”

[WHO AM I ??!!]

”Auuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!”

[AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!]

............................

”AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!”, a scream resounded throughout the room and was heard even far beyond the hallway.

Within that room a boy had awoken, his body soaked in hot sweat and a white clinical gown stuck to his skin like sticky honey.

In the beginning the boy didn't really understand where he was. He couldn't even see clearly, his eyes hadn't adjusted to the light yet. Black and White, that's what his brain told him his environment looked like. He rubbed his eyes with his hands a little. Then Gray came into play as well, more shapes were visible now, objects with depth appeared suddenly.

After a while a big body clashed into him. Two smaller bodies joined the bigger one as well. He couldn't hear them clearly. He only felt a very warm and tight hug. Droplets of water ran down his cheeks. He wondered where they were coming from.

And then in the next moment his face abruptly turned to the right. A burning sensation filled his face and a force like a 'slap' must have hit him. But right after the feeling of a warm hug embraced him again.

His hearing got better gradually and he could sense a couple of distinct but muffled voices:

After the warm feeling left him, his consciousness drifted again into his head and entered his dreams.

.....

”Bzzz ... Lad, can you hear me?”, an unknown voice that brought a familiar feeling sounded out in his head, ”Hey, haha, it seems like ... bzzz ... energy was barely enough ... Bzzz ... we had to do an emergency landing ... what is important is ... bzzz ... energy crystals ... bzzz ... the watch will help you so don't worry! ... you have to remember ... become stronger! Stay alive! ... bzzz ... I have to hibernate, so that the watch can keep working ... Whatever it is that you will face, I am sure that you will be able to handle it Atiqo!”

The name made him feel a certain resonance and remembrance, but it also sounded distant and unknown.

.....

He woke up again. The colours were now more distinct. And he had a better grasp of his surroundings now. He was sitting, no, lying on a bed. Some machines and tubes were connected to his body, but he felt quite good already. His whole body was bandaged, and some places were also casted with plasters.

Before him he could see two young children, a boy and a girl sleeping with their heads on his legs. He felt something warm flowing through his body when he saw them. Outside, the sky was blue and the sun shone through the window. A creature flew from the distance and arrived near his window. It had a small body and different feathers of brown colour on its body. It looked like a ...

”Pidgey!”, he exclaimed out loud.

If he could, he would have run straight to the window and opened it up to take a closer look at this Pokemon. It felt unnatural for him to see a Pokemon up close, almost like a dream, yet it was right there.
