Re;Light Chapter One: A World Without Light

"Hurry!"

"Dulse, are you sure we're going the right way"

"We're here"

I look up at the huge tower, artificial light is being expelled from mirror like crystals. A brighter light shines from the top.

Dulse steps up beside me, Zossie and Phyco arrive shortly after.

"You must go to the top of this tower, and stop it. It must not finish what it's started"

I nod and close the visor on my Ultra Recon suit. My partner, Poipole, floats up beside me, ready to battle. "Ok, I'll defeat it and bring light back to this world"

I turn away from the others and run into the tower, worried that this might be the last time I see them.

The stairs I climb keep spiralling, never ending, although the air is getting thicker.

It's hard to breathe up here, The visor of my suit doesn't block out all of the rays of light that's blinding my vision. I finally reach the top of the tower.

There it was, floating atop the tower, stealing light from the already baron world.

The pokemon known as "Necrozma"

This pokemon appeared in our world, "Ultra Megalopolis", 20 years ago.

It stole all the light our world had, leaving us in an eternal night.

We built a tower that created artificial light, which supplied us with enough light to continue with our daily lives. Though a few of us, formed a group who would defeat Necrozma and bring back light to our world, We were known as the "Ultra Recon Squad".

We captured these Pokemon known as "Ultra Beasts", As they seemed to have a special power of creating Ultra Wormholes. We used these Pokemon to chase after Necrozma, although we never got close to it. My name is Moon, although, that is clearly an alias.

My real name has gotten lost with this world, I guess you could say, Necrozma stole it.

Let me start at the beginning, when I first found my partner, Poipole.

This was around 5 years ago, When I first joined the Ultra Recon Squad.

Captain Phyco was explaining to me what Ultra Beasts were, when some scientists we were working with got readings of an Ultra Wormhole opening on the tower.

I ended up going to the tower to check it out, and that's when Poipole appeared.

It seemed lost, hurt, I couldn't just leave it there.

So, I took care of it, nursed it back to health.

Although, when it was time for Poipole to return home, it didn't want to leave.

There have been times when we would drop it off back in its home, but it kept coming back. That's when Dulse handed me a Beast Ball, and without warning, Poipole jumped into it. And that's how Poipole and I met. We've been together ever since.

I look down to Poipole, who is eager to battle, and think, is this the last time we'll be together. I step onto the platform, Necrozma turns around immediately.

It stares at me and Poipole for a bit, then floats up and screeches.

"Poipole, go"

Poipole floats into battle, it does a little backflip and aims it's nozzle at Necrozma.

"Use Venoshock"

Poipole launches out a wave of poison, engulfing Necrozma.

Necrozma turns to Poipole and a ball of light forms above it.

"Thats!"

The ball of light expels beams of light that strike Poipole, knocking it out.

"Prismatic Laser"

I return Poipole back into its pokeball and look back to Necrozma.

It opened an Ultra Wormhole and prepared to escape.

Just as it enters the portal, I leap in after it.

I grab onto Necrozma's back and steer us into a yellow Warphole.

The portal ends and we're sent crashing down.

I lose my grip on Necrozma and I'm thrown off of it.

Necrozma flies off to another area, before crashing into the ground.

I look over across the land, Bright colourful terrain, Ocean surrounding it.

I land in a river near a small town, I swim over to the mountain side and start climbing the wall. Finally reaching the top after almost falling back into the ravine.

I look back, The bridge linking where I stand, with the temple on the other end, is broken. I look down at Poipole's Pokeball, then back to the bright land which I have fallen upon. "Where the hell am I!"
