The victory music plays.
You've just defeated one of the Team Plasma grunts. A small smile crosses your tired face.
"Plasmaaaaaa!!!" the grunt says on the screen.
You save your game and close your DS, glancing at the clock.
1:36AM.
With a sigh, you turn off your lamp and go to sleep.
2:47AM.
You can't sleep. You lay awake, staring at the roof and listening to the constant tick tock of the clock. You slowly roll over and reach for your DS, continuing from where you left off.
"Your Pokémon... have wonderful voices," says one of the characters.
You recognize him as N, with his pale green hair tied behind him and baseball cap. You had taken a liking to him, because of how well-written he is. But in the end, you know he's just a character on a screen who isn't real in the slightest.
There's a knock on your door.
"Y/N?" your mother asks. "Are you still awake at this hour?"
a. Quickly hide your DS and pretend to be asleep.
b. "Well what are you doing up?"
c. "I couldn't sleep, but I'll try again soon."
a. You quickly close the DS and slide it under your pillow, landing on top of it with a fwump.
Your mom peeks in, clearly catching on to whatever you're doing. She giggles softly and closes the door.
b. "Well what are you doing up?" you retort jokingly.
"Very funny Y/N. You know your dad and I have to work early." She opens the door and sticks her tongue out. "Now get to sleep."
c. "I couldn't really sleep," you explain. "But I'll try again soon."
"Alright, but make sure you get some rest."
After you hear your mom leaving the house, you debate between playing more Pokémon and actually going to sleep.
Suddenly, a sharp pain goes through your head.
You let out a soft squeal and put a hand on your forehead. You squeeze your eyes shut, kicking your legs, trying to get the pain to stop. The sound of your head pounding eventually fades away as you pass out.
Somebody kicks you awake. "Hey!" It's a rough-sounding male voice. "You can't be sleepin' on the job!" He kicks you again.
You open your eyes and see an unfamiliar room.
The walls are a pristine white and the room is a perfect square. There are fluorescent lights on the ceiling and a very impatient-looking man in front of you.
He's wearing a Team Plasma uniform.
He glares down at you, threatening to kick you once more.
You quickly jerk back.
"What's wrong with you Y/N?"
1. "How do you know my-"
2. "Where am-"
3. "What's going-"
He cuts you off and pulls you up. "Get to work. Or I'll report you to Ghetsis." He shoves a Pokéball in your hand and turns to leave. "You better not keep on faintin' in the middle of work."
Team Plasma uniform?
Pokéball?
Wait a second...
"Hold on!" you call after the grunt. "Where is this?"
He now looks extremely annoyed. "You got amnesia or something Y/N?" He speaks slowly, as if you're a child. "This. Is. The. Team Plasma. Headquarters. In. The. Unova Region."
While you stand there dumbfounded, he leaves.
Another grunt walks by, this one female. "Y/N? You're needed in Accumula Town. And why are you still in your nightwear?"
You don't respond, too shocked that not only are you in the world of Pokémon, you are in TEAM PLASMA HEADQUARTERS.
The grunt scoffs and continues walking.
You stumble into the hallway, which is like a white tunnel lit once again by artificial light. At the end of the hallway is an elevator, so you decide to make your way there.
When you're about halfway there, someone comes out of one of the many doors.
You bump into him, then quickly step back and apologize.
"Oh, I'm sorry," he says in a gentle voice.
You look up to meet his eyes and HOLY ARCOOS IT'S N. At this point, you're frozen. You can't move even if you want to.
"Are you alright?" N places the back of his hand on your forehead. "Do you have a fever?"
You somehow manage to choke out, "I'm not- I don't-"
He lowers his hand. "I'm sorry, your name seems to have slipped my mind."
a. "Y/N."
b. "I'm Y/N, and I don't know what's going on."
c. You try to tell him but stutter midway.
a. "It's Y/N," you manage to say without stuttering.
"Y/N?" he repeats. "Y/N... I don't remember having anyone with that name in our ranks. But then, today I seem awfully forgetful." He lets out a soft laugh.
b. "Um, I'm Y/N and I don't know what's going on."
"You don't know what's going on? Well, I believe we are holding a speech in Accumula Town. Why don't you head there, Y/N?"
c. "Y-Y...um..."
"Aw, it's alright. You don't have to be shy." He pauses and pats your shoulder reassuringly.
"Y/N," you say, clearly this time.
"What a lovely name," N says.
"Oh, but I don't have much time to chat." He steps back. "I hope to see you again, Y/N." He runs off down the hall.
You're about to stop him, but decide you shouldn't waste his time. You wander around more, trying to figure things out.
So you're in the world of Pokémon. And everyone here thinks you're part of Team Plasma. How on earth...
A couple of female grunts come out of one of the other rooms, paying you no mind.
"Isn't it amazing?" one of them says.
"Yeah! They have the newest clothing brands!" says the other.
You peer into the room they came out of and it appears to be a closet. You slip in and close the door, ready for a change of attire.
A/N: Hi everyone! How's the story? I hope you all are liking it! By the way, I chose the name Avery for everyone to mistakenly call you, because I googled some gender-neutral names and that was the first that came up. But now, everyone should be calling you by your name so yeah! On with the story!
A/N 2: yeah i scrapped the whole avery thing
