Prologue: Freaking Out

~|Rob|~

Why is it so cold?......who opened my window?

The smooth wind blew over Rob, giving him chills in an attempt to wake him from his deep sleep. He shivered a few time, annoyed that he might have to wake up and fix the problem, and on a Saturday of all days. He made a grab for the quilt that covered him....but it wasn't there. In fact, his blankets, sheets, and pillow weren't around him. Finally, he opened his eyes, and awoke to a confusing sight.

What the hell?

He wasn't in his bed anymore, nor was he in his room. He was in a forest, laying on the grass with a cool morning wind blowing through the trees. A few feet from him was a small pond, water gently rippling. It was peaceful, but far from what he called his room. He was very confused, and shocked. None of this was adding up, at all. He stood up and decided to take a look around, but something was different. After a few seconds, he suddenly realized what it was. He had gotten shorter! Much shorter!

Now he was getting really confused. He could understand waking up in the forest as some kind of prank, but shrinking? That was just plain impossible. He thought he was dreaming, as there could be no other way this was happening. He went over to the pond, and dunked his head into the ice cold water, in an attempt to wake himself up. After a few seconds, he pulled his head out and realized that this wasn't a dream. He wipe the water off himself, and was looking face-to-face with his reflection. When faced with his reflection, his eyes almost fell out of his head in shock.

In the water was not a human, but some creature. The creature that he now was, had an orange body with a lighter colored stomach, and appeared lizard-like. His hands and feet now had short claws, and he now had a tail. At the tip of the tail, was a small flame, burning slowly.

After a few seconds of processing that his tail was on fire, he went beserk and began running in circles, and yelling, "OH MY GOD!!! I'M ON FIRE!!!." Then, as if he had just noticed it, he processed that he had just been turined into a lizard, and this made him more exstatic, and he began wildy sprinting around the area screaming, "OH MY GOD!! WHERE THE HELL AM I AND WHAT THE HELL AM I!? He was slowly losing it. Not paying any attention to where he was going, he ran right into a tree, and was knocked out.

He awoke moments later after being drenched in water. Once drenched, he quickly sat up and spit the water out that had gotten into his mouth. He looked around for the source of the water. Then, he saw movement in the water, and made his way cautiously towards the pond.

He slowly approached the water and scanned the entire surface of the pond. There wasn't any movement. He turned around to leave, but heard a small splash, and quickly turned back around. He walked up to the water's edge and peered into the water. That's when he noticed something.

There was some kind of orange thing in the water. As he looked closer, he noticed that there was 2 of them, and they seemed to be attached to something. As he got even closer, the object's eyes popped open and lunged forward, making him fly back in surprise. He got up and looked back at the spot where he fell back. A small head popped out of the water, and soon after, the rest of the creature came out.

"Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to make you fall. Did I scare you when I soaked you?" the creature said jokingly.

Rob studied the creature for a while. It had a blue color to most of it's body, with the exception of it's cheeks, tailfin, and stomach area. The cheeks were orange, which is what he saw in the water, and his tailfin and stomach area were a much lighter blue. He stood on all fours and had a smile and an innocent look on his face. Unknown to him, the creature was a Mudkip.

"Who are you?" asked Rob, still confused about this whole ordeal.

The Mudkip simply smiled again and said, "Oh, my name's Loki. As you've guessed, I'm the Mudkip that lives in this pond."

"Ok, then, what am I?" he asked stupidly.

Loki stared at him for a second, bewildered and confused. Then he said, "What do you mean 'what are you'? Your a Charmander. Heck, I know that and I'm only 1 'n a half years old!" He began to laugh. When he saw that Rob wasn't joking, he stopped, and got serious.

"Wait, so you seriously didn't know what Pokemon you were? Do you have amnesia or something?" he asked politely.

"Well, I don't think so...but, I'm not a Pokemon. I'm a human."

Loki looked at him, and said, "Never heard of that Pokemon...do they live in the mountains or something? And why do humans look like Charmanders?"

"No! Humans aren't a Pokemon! I don't know why I'm a Charmander...that's what I'm trying to figure out..."

~|Loki|~

Loki was lost in this guy's story. He knew that this guy must either have amnesia or be completely insane. Either way, he needed help, so he thought he might as well try to see if he could help out the poor guy.

"So, I never got your name..." Loki started.

"Oh, it's Rob."

"Rob? That's not a very common name for a Charmander, is it?"

Rob gave him a look, and Loki remembered his story about 'not being a Charmander'. That story sounded rediculous. He looked like a Charmander, so he must be one. Just then, Loki was hit with a thought.

Maybe someone in a nearby town knows him, and can help... he thought quietly, still trying to figure out what to do. Then, he decided to just take Rob into a few towns and see if anyone knew him.

"Hey, Rob. Let's go into town. Someone there might be able to help you with your problem." he said. He looked over at Rob to find that he was staring at his tail, where the flame was, and looked as though he was about ready dunk it into the water.

Confused again, he asked, "What are you doing?"

"I'm gonna put out this fire on my tail," he said, pushing his tail towards the water. Loki jumped on him and pulled him away before he could submerge it. He wrestled him to the ground, and then began saying, "What are you thinking!? If you put out that fire, your dead!"

Once that was heard, Rob's eyes got big and he let out a quick yell. "Ar-are you serious?!" he said, shocked.

"...yes...don't you know anything about being a Charmander?"

"No! I told you that!"

Loki thought he might actually be telling the truth, but the amnesia theory was still possible too. Of course, no Charmander was that stupid. He would just have to wait until they checked some towns, then he'd make sure he was right.

They began heading towards the first town, which was Orverton, a small town located near the edge of some mountains. Rob was in hopes of finding out what was going on here, and Loki, was more interested in who this strange Charmander was. They both started a journey, that neither was prepared for, or even aware of...
