 Amie had been sitting at home for the past few days, staring out the window to dark clouds and the sights of the streets near empty. Twiddling her fingers, as she saw the occasional light flicker of a nearby apartment. It's been quiet in the town since people began moving out to more special places in the world. New York, Japan, whatever the hell she's practically heard it all from the people who were moving. Turning away from the window and the bleak day it already was, she moved towards her Gameboy and switched it on. She sighed, hearing the quick ding before a game of Pokemon FireRed as her foot tapped the soft carpet. The one thing that definitely had not let her down throughout the years are her games. It's not like the games could walk out on her, move to a new country or city or whatever. They'd be here with her through thick and thin,

The game would startup, selecting her save she'd lie on the couch and relax back. She was close to finishing that pokedex of hers, all she really needed was one legendary and then it'd be quickly over with. Though something felt quite, off with the game, straight off the bat. It was almost like she had one of those modded versions of the game that they put online for people to try out. A ROM hack as they would call it. Reason being is, her whole Pokedex was filled with Pokemon from the much later later games. Not to mention her map had new places she could travel to now that she had (previously) beaten all 8 trainers and the elite four. Throwing caution to the wind, she shrugged it off. Heading to the Pokecenter, she'd throw her Pidgeotto into her current Pokemon set and try to fly off to the Unova area first to start her new adventure there.

She should've expected this, but of course the game would immediately crash on selection of Unova, the Gameboy making out weird error noises from the speakers. Sighing, she'd shut the thing off and on. Though it wouldn't start up this time around. Panicked, she would begin to switch it back on and off quickly, "No, my progress!" Click, clunk, click, clunk. Click-

"H-Hey are you alright?!" Someone unfamiliar says panicked, not too far off from where Amie was lying. Groaning she'd pick her head up off the ground, looking towards who was talking. "I'm fine..." Well she was fine until she let out a shrill scream as her eyes registered what she was looking. Promptly she covered her mouth and her eyes were wide open. She was staring at a... At a... A TEPIG! Who seemed distressed from the sudden scream. "H-Hey what the heck was that about?!" The Tepig asked, hesitant to walk closer. "I-I'm s-s-sorry you just scared me... y-you're a Tepig..." She stammered, just trying to shake her head. This is a dream, it has to be a dream. Wake up... Wake up!
"O-Okay?... Why does that matter you're a Sobble?-"

"I'm a WHAT?!"

She turned to look over herself, confused as she could ever be. Blue skin, lego character hands, footballs shaped head, a fin, oh gosh is that a tail?! She tried to keep from screaming again as she was just like. "I-I'm not supposed to be this! I-I'm supposed to be... I'm supposed to be a..."
"A what?-"

"I'm... I don't remember... But I never looked like this. Or... maybe I just can't remember."

"What happened to you before you blacked out?"

"I... don't know, I don't even remember blacking out..."

Her and Tepig just simply stood there for a bit, confused and Amie still being dazed. She turned to look at the river she was next to and walked up to it. Staring at her own reflection almost began to make her cry. More or less from instinct, though she suppressed the urge and looked away back towards Tepig.

"Well, do you remember your name at least? Do you have a place to stay? Anything?"

"My name's..." She pauses lightly. "Amie, yeah it's Amie."

"Oh thank heavens at least you remember that. Come with me, I don't think it's safe for you to just continue to walk around blindly by yourself. Especially if you're forgetting a lot of things. Maybe we can find some of your relatives or something. My name's Heath by the way."

"Nice to meet you Heath..."
Where was she, why is she next to a Pokemon? What's even going on here? Why is SHE a Pokemon?! Why is...-

A sudden clang would interrupt here thoughts of where, what and why. A shop approaching selling weird toy trinkets, and a Mankey with a cymbals that does that clap with the cymbals every so often. 

Behind the shop was a Machamp, they seemed to be wearing glasses and smiling as they waved at her. "Hello!" She'd softly wave back to the Machamp, looking over the stuff he has before quickly following up to catch the Tepig.
