A small child stirred as a voice filled their ears.

"Wyatt..."

The child opened their eyes as the voice continued.

"Wake up. You need to escape."

Tears suddenly filled their eyes as they gasped.

"Papa?"

"I have sent someone to rescue you. You have to save the family."

The child reawoke as a small creature floated above them. It looked exhausted before seeing the child was awake. It smiled before curling up in their arms, passing out quite quickly. The child blinked twice before sitting up, cradling the small creature as it rested. They then looked around, seeing themselves in some sort of cell. The door was open as they started looking around the place they were in. Muffled voices danced around as they found a locked door. They gulped before seeing some stairs. They doubted they were the exit, but maybe they could find something that could help them get out of the door. They went up before finding blood. A tremble crossed their body before the creature woke up and saw the blood. It floated over, rubbed its face before pulling out a wand and casting something. A magic mark covered the blood before a magic hand appeared. The creature then rested on the kid's head, trying to stay awake. They led the way back to the door before the magic hand unlocked it. They slipped through the rest of the place, evading the weird, uniformed members that were wandering. They finally were able to escape, getting fresh air before tears fell. They trembled before they raced off.

A rather familiar face arrived in a small town as a gentle wind blew through the air. A yellow mouse rested on their head as they headed for the lab. Two kids were standing outside it as they talked about someone.

"He's going to be here! I thought people were kidding!"

"Of course he is! He might be stopping here to make sure the nearby cult hasn't attacked us. No one has found it yet. But he may be stopping here to check on us." The new arrival studied the two, seeing a Brown haired girl and a White haired boy that looked around the same age. The person smiled as they went over to them.

"Deep breaths. We got to ask the professor for an Eevee to take with us."

"Right!" The person paused before seeing a small child slow near the entrance of the town, completely out of breath and red in the face. They went over to the kid as they cradled a small pokemon in their arms, which looked exhausted.

"Why hello there." They looked up into the other person's eyes. Dull gray eyes stared into hazel eyes as the taller person held out a hand. "Are you ok?" They blinked twice before taking the offered hand.

"Hungry-" They sounded weak as they scanned the taller person. They smiled as they easily picked the small child up.

The small child rested in the center while the taller person got them food. They excitedly sat up when the food arrived, their stomach giving its thanks as well. The creature with them was a little slower, looking extremely tired from whatever had happened. The taller person sat down across from the kid as they finished.

"Thank you-" They cleaned their face as their companion continued to slowly get through its food.

"You're welcome. Now... What's your name?" They paused as they looked up.

"Wyatt..." They seemed to pause. "That's all I know. So much blur..." The other person smiled.

"I'm Ash." Wyatt paused before shaking the offered hand.
