Chapter 1: Typical Day

David Mackamore lived in the city of Northpass, a well-known bustling town throughout the region. Still, the primary reason was the types of pokemon that lived within the surrounding areas. To the north were the mountains, east and westward were the plains, and to the direct south was the great forest with all sorts of pokemon in each area.

To the east, if one went far enough, they would eventually reach the ocean. However, that was still about two to three days on foot and a day by transportation. However, plenty of freshwater rivers and a few decently sized lakes along the way housed various water-type pokemon.

The common stereotype is that pokemon would stay specifically to their region, with slight variations between those pokemon and ones that are the same pokemon but in a completely different environment.

That rule, however, seemed not to exist here as there were all sorts of variations to the pokemon that lived in the surrounding areas of the city.

No one knows how or why these pokemon variations can appear here, but it has become the norm here, and people have long since stopped questioning it.

Now then, our story does not begin in the city of Northpass but in an area outside the main town to the south in the great forest as it was called.

A few minutes of walking would lead to finding a house in a decently sized clearing within this forest of great trees.

The house was surrounded by a white picket fence surrounding the property with a stone walkway leading up to the front porch.

This house was a two-story building that, from the outside, looked like a lovely family house within the forest and a great way to get away from society for just a moment on a secluded vacation.

Still, contrary to the cheerful look and image told from the outside of the building, the inside told a different story, with the house being empty and devoid of people. A gloomy atmosphere permeated the household.

The first floor had nothing but going up a set of stairs that showed the rooms of the would-be inhabitants of the house were all barren, except for one.

David Mackamore lived alone in this house for most of his life, and today things were the same as usual for him.

David would wake up around eight in the morning with the usual headache pounding his head for working so long the past couple of days in both morning and night shifts back in Northpass. He worked multiple odd jobs in the city on the weekdays and maybe weekends if he were not as tired as usual.

He would usually get four hours of sleep every night on the weekdays, and weekends would just be spent sleeping a lot to make up for whatever he lost.

Opening his eyes this time, David pulls back the blankets and sheets on his bed before getting up to use the restroom.

His body was sore all over, but then again, when was it not since one of his jobs was working at a construction site during the day and having to move heavy items around was a requirement which was fine were it not for the fact that it did not help that most of his jobs were physically demanding.

The only one he could say that was not a very labor-intensive job was working at a 24/7 convenience store near the city's downtown section on the graveyard night shift.

Now, why was he doing this? The most obvious reason would be money, but that was because of a mountain of debt his father had made for him a few years ago.

David's father used to be the mayor of Northpass, who abused it after a few years in power to completely rob people's money and use it for himself to buy whatever he wanted. As a result, when these findings came to light, he was arrested but ran away with as much money as possible, leaving him and his mother to deal with the people demanding their money back.
