He was floating in the void. There was nothing, but him.

- ''Can you hear me?" – An unfamiliar voice spoke. – ''Please, you need to hear me…''

- ''Wha- What's going on? Who is there?'' – He asked.

- ''Oh, thank Arceus. You're not gone just jet.'' – The voice spoke again. – ''You've got to listen to me. Any minute now , it'll come back. You need to stay focused and remember all you can. You can't stop it from taking your memories, but if you focus we can delay it.''

- ''What are you talking about?'' – He spoke weakly, but there was angst in his voice.

A shriek was heard and the voice started to talk faster.

- ''It's coming, we need to be quick. You, at least remember your name, right?''

- ''My... Name? Ugh... No... I can't remember it...'' – He answered rubbing his head.

- ''This is bad... Well, do you remember if you are a boy or a girl?"

- ''I'm... A boy..." – He touched his crotch just to be sure.

- ''Great, you do. This might not be as bad as I thought-'' – The voice was cut off by another shriek. Two red eyes appeared out of nowhere and started glancing at the boy.

- ''It's back! You need to wake up now! Please, before it's too late! I've sent someone to fend it off and get you out of here. You need to wake up!'' – And there was silence again.

He did not wake up. He was still floating in the void like nothing happened. There were some questions in his head, that still were unanswered. Who was he? Where was he? What is going on? But something started to happening. Everything was turning white. He was waking up.

The boy started hearing voices again.

- ''After the child's memories are gone, what are we going to do with him?''- Asked a manly voice.

- ''Kill him of course.'' – Answered a feminine one.

He got badly scared. He was so panicked, that he didn't hear the rest of the conversation.

- ''Please... Wake up...'' – He heard. Somehow he became calm. The voice was really soothing.

- ''Mew!'' – Another voice spoke, and he finally woke up.

He was lying on a small bed in a strange room. It looked like a prison room of some sorts. Near him there was a flying, pink, cute monster.

- ''A... Pokemon?" – He said uncertain. He still lacked some memories, but it seems that he knew one or two things.

He stood up, but immediately fell on the steel floor. Cold and hard, his face experienced those two really well, and the boy wasn't really happy about that. The pink Pokemon helped him to stand up and they left the room. He was able to go by himself, so he started exploring this weird place. He quickly found a Potion and shortly after a bookshelf which caught his attention. One of the books mentioned some kind of cults that are spread through the Torren Region. They murder and do all kinds of evil stuff, like kidnapping. There are a total of 5 cults. The Darkrai Cult, the Sky Cult, the Infernal Cult, the Abyssal Cult and Perfection. The boy put back the book, shivered and marched further. After some time the cute Pokemon spoke up. It was holding a note! The boy started to read:

- ''Hello again! I chose Mew to help you out of this mess due to its special ability. Like all legendary or mystical Pokemon, Mew has an ability that no other Pokemon has. Mew is able to use the Transform ability to change its form and disguise as something else. However, Mew requires the DNA of something in order to transform into it. If you can find DNA, Mew can transform you into different person, disguising you. You can use this ability to hide yourself from enemies. You can use this to escape the base. Good luck. – Your benefactor." He looked at the Pokemon. – ''Mew, huh? Well, let's escape this hell hole.''

They went up some stairs only to find themselves in a room which had that strange dark aura around it. They were surrounded by some kind of green water. The boy suspected it was polluted so he didn't want to get his hand dirty with it. On the other side of the room there were two, golden statues, and between them there was a red 'pentagram' and... blood.

- ''Holy Helix... The statues... The blood... I think we are in the Darkrai Cult's base...'' – He said with fear. The pink Pokemon put its paws on the blood and flew up to the boy. A bright flash blinded him for a second, but when he opened his eyes, he noticed that he wasn't wearing his black jumppants and black jumpsuit. Instead he was wearing a black cloak with a red collar and a white hood. – ''C-cool! So this is the Darkrai Cult's uniform? Pretty... Uncomfortable.'' – He sighed.

They started backtracking until they found a closed door. It needed a fingerprint to unlock it. The boy put his finger on the scanner and the door unlocked. The exit was right there, but it was blocked by someone, so they gave up on this exit for now and advanced further in the base. The boy found some more Potions, a Ice Heal and an Awakening. He wondered how did he know all these names? It seemed that his memories weren't all gone, just his past was unknown to him.

Soon they entered a big room in which stationed a lot of cultists.

- ''Persephone's finally decided to give the summoning of Darkrai another try. To be honest, I don't think it's going to work, at all.'' – Someone was saying.

- ''And so we begin...'' – A familiar feminine voice spoke and the whole room got silent. The boy stood in the crowd of men in white hoods listening to what a woman was saying. Before her, a cultist was kneeling and begging for mercy. – ''Activate the ritual circle! Darkrai, god of darkness! I call upon you, on the evil night, to enter our world! In return I offer you the soul of this loyal servant, to be bound to your world of nightmares forever! Voco virtutem umbrarum dominum!'' – She casted some kind of spell and the lights started to flicker. They went out for a second or two and a scream was heard and when they were back on, on the place where a cultist was kneeling, now a scary looking Pokemon was floating.

- ''N-no way... Did she just...'' – The boy spoke without thinking.

- ''Indeed. A sacrifice has been made and the legendary Pokemon Darkrai has been summoned. We tried that last year, but the Darkrai quickly escaped.'' – A nearby cultist answered. – ''You're new right? Then that's your lucky day! Not every newbie got to see the summoning from this place, if you know what I mean...''

- ''I really am lucky, eh?''

- ''Darkrai why will you not join me?'' – He heard her again. – ''Why do you not seek me out? I know that my sister has seen you time and time again, what does she have what that I do not? Please Darkrai, I beseech. Join me. Join my team, join the cult that has worshipped you for so many years. With my guidance and your powers, the world would be ours.'' – But the legendary Pokemon didn't seem to care. He turned his back and when the lights went out he disappeared. The cultists started to whisper to each other. – ''Again, Darkrai decides to ignore my offer and leave. It's probably gone off to Selene City to see my treacherous sister again.'' – She mumbled to herself. When she was about to leave two cultists approached her and started to convince her to something but she was too angry to even listen. – ''I said get out of my way! Houndoom! Show these wretches how the leader of the Cult of Darkrai deals with disobedient, idiotic grunts. Fire Blast!'' – The black dog with horns breathed a huge fiery Japanese symbol for fire and burned the grunts to ash. After that she wandered off. – ''I'm going to check on the prisoner!'' – She said as she took a turn and disappeared from the cultists eyes.

Now the boy knew, he had to escape. As soon as that Persephone finds out about his disappearing she will find him, and she will kill him. He quickly made his way to the exit which now wasn't guarded.

He got out and ran as fast as he could without looking back. He only noticed that his disguise has vanished. Maybe the transformation has a time limit? If so, he made it right in time! He was running through a small route. A few patch of grasses and a lot of trees. In the close distance he saw a town, so he knew where to go now. As he reached the entry to the town, his pink companion spoke up again.

- ''Mew!'' – It was holding another note, and a item that appeared to be a... Flute?

- ''The Quartz Flute allows you to call upon Mew when needed. This can be used to utilize Mew's Transform ability, transforming you into someone else, or potentially changing Mew into a different Pokemon. Good luck. –Your benefactor.'' – The boy read. – ''Cool! So I can just play the flute and you'll come?'' – The Mew nodded in agreement and shortly after vanished. – ''I guess it doesn't want to be seen...''

- ''I could swear I saw Mew here, just now!'' - A young voice spoke. – ''Did you see it? A bright pink Pokemon? It was floating really close to you!''

- ''No.'' – He lied. – ''It's the first time I hear about that kind of Pokemon...''

- ''Oh well... Must have been just my imagination.'' – He said disappointed. – ''Come on, don't mess this up like you always do...'' – The youngster muttered to himself. – ''My name is Damian. I'm an aspiring Pokemon Trainer!'' – The young boy said proudly. Damian had silver hair and he was wearing a light green shirt and brown pants.

- ''It's really nice to meet you! I'm... Umm...'' – He stopped. Damn! He still couldn't remember his name.

- ''So purple-head? What's your name again?''

- ''P-purple? A color... O-ohhhh! My name! I'm Dalton! I-it's nice to meet you!'' – It hit him. He finally remembered his name.

- ''You know Dalton, today the great Augur is coming to Telnor Town! You know him right?''

- ''Of course!'' – He lied again. He though that it is batter to not stick out too much, so at least for now he will have to play the lie game.

- ''I mean, how could you not know him? He is only the strongest trainer in the world... Anyways. Like I said, he is visiting this town today. Want to come? We still need some help in the Town Hall so...''

- ''Yeah, why not? It's not like I have anything else to do...''

- ''Great! Follow me!'' – He said as he turned his back to Dalton an started jogging back to the town. – ''So, um... You play flute?''

- ''What? What do you mean?'' – Dalton asked surprised.

- ''No it's just... You're carrying that funny flute so I assumed you can play it.''

- ''Of course I can!'' – He wasn't sure. – ''If I couldn't play it, why would I have it?''

- ''So... Will you play me something?'' – Smiled Damian.

- ''Um... Uch... You see... I can't just play it without preparations! I haven't got a drink in a long time so my lips are really dry and...''

- ''Okay, okay. I get it.'' – He laughed. – ''You're jest shy.''

- ''Yeah, whatever.'' – Dalton smiled back putting the Quartz Flute in his backpack.

- ''Hey Dalton?'' – He asked again. – ''Tell me, where do you come from?''

- ''Uch.. I'm from... From..." – He recalled Persephone's words. – ''I'm from Selene City, but when I heard that Augur is coming to this town I had to visit it to!" – He replied. – 'Holy Helix! This is too much! These lies are going to come back at me someday... And they're going to hit hard...'

- ''I'm not surprised! Jearn is an awesome trainer!'' – He said in awe.

- 'I assume Jearn is the Augur's name...'

- ''Okay! We're here. There is the Town Hall. Go there when you're ready.'' – He said after running off.

Dalton didn't have anything else to do, so he slowly made his way to the Town Hall. He knew that he will regret all those lies, relatively quickly... But, he had to play the risky card here, because if he didn't, well... Let's say that he probably wouldn't get too far. He got to the Town Hall pretty fast.

- ''Ok, don't worry! I heard that in one of the caves that are located in the forest, there is a rare stone. If you'll be fast enough you'll make it in time.'' – Dalton heard as he entered.

- ''No way! You're not going there young man!'' – Said a woman.

- ''But mom! I need a present for the Augur! And going in the forest... You know what that means? Getting a starter Pokemon!''

- ''Like hell!'' – The woman yelled. – ''You're not mature enough to have a Pokemon! You get yourself and your Pokemon killed as soon as you leave the town!''

- ''Dalton! Come on, help me out here!'' – Damian cried for help. – ''This is Dalton, he said that he'll help out with the preparations.'' – He introduced Dalton.

- ''Hello.'' – The boy said.

- ''Hmm? You'll help us? Well if that's the case... Have you handled a Pokemon before?'' – Asked a man. He was quite old and his clothes looked really expansive. A Mayor maybe?

- ''Well... Yes. Indeed I have.'' – This wasn't exactly a lie. Ha had a Mew to help him whenever he wanted.

- ''Splendid! Then you two will go to prof. Sylvan and take your Pokemon from there. Then you'll go get a rare stone and come back to give it to the Augur. Everything clear? Great! Now go! We don't have time!'' – He basically kicked them out.

They quickly went to the lab.

- ''Don't you get it? If you won't take them, no one will. Not even me. I'll leave them out in the wild, and they'll probably die.'' – They heard as they entered.

- 'Whoh! That's harsh...' – Though Dalton.

- ''Okay, okay... I'll take them, but why a cult leader like yo-... Oh hello kids!'' – The professor changed subjects quickly when he saw the two boys. – ''Why are you here, may I ask?''

- ''Um... We came here to get our starters.'' – Damian replied.

- ''I'll be going now. Take care.'' – Said a man dressed entirely in black and exited the lab.

- ''Okay kids. It seems, that today is your lucky, or unlucky day! Because aside from everyday Eevees you can choose a Delta Pokemon!'' – The prof. said. – ''Do you know what Delta Pokemon are?''

- ''Yes.'' – Said Dalton without thinking. How did he know that?!

- ''What? You do? Then tell me, what are these Delta Pokemon?'' – Damian was curious.

- ''Well... To put it simply... They are Pokemons, whose type and appearance have changed greatly. It's like... A Ghost type Eevee.'' –Answered the purple haired.

- ''I-I think I get it...''

- ''Very well kids! If you want a Eevee, just talk to me. If you want a Delta starter, then choose one of the three from the table.''

- ''You go first Dalton.'' – Said the silver haired.

Dalton came up to the table, and examined the Pokeballs. In the first one there was a strange looking Bulbasaur with Fairy/Psychic typing. In the second ball there was a scary Charmander whose types were Dragon/Ghost. In the last one there was a cool looking Squirtle witch the Dark/Fighting types. These Pokemons were really something else...

- ''I'll choose this one!'' – Said the boy after picking one of the Pokeballs.

- ''That's a... Interesting choice! So you liked the scary look of his?'' – Asked Sylvan looking at Delta Charmanders Pokeball.

- ''Well, yeah. I guess. He looks really powerful!'' – Smiled the boy.

- ''Do you want to give him a name?'' – Asked the professor.

- ''Name? Hmm... How about... Kageyama?''

- ''What?'' – Said suddenly Damian. – ''What kind of a name is that?''

- ''That's in Japanese, you know. And it sounds pretty cool!'' – Replied Dalton.

- ''I can't really argue with that... Well. I will choose this fellow!'' – He picked up a Pokeball.

- ''Ah! A Squirtle! That's a great choice! Will you name it?'' – The professor spoke up again.

- ''Nah. I don't need to name my Pokemons.''

- ''Ok. You should have this as well!'' – Sylvan gave a strange device to each of the boys. – ''It's the newest Pokedex! You can check your Pokemons moves and stats with it, check their status changes in mid-battle or just store information about wild Pokemons!'' – This Pokedex looked like a cool watch which could project small holograms.

Dalton equipped the Pokedex and used it on Charmanders' Pokeball.

- ''Hmm... Scratch, Growl and Twister. Not bad, not bad at all. And he has a docile nature. Could be better but that isn't as bad...'' – Dalton talked to himself.

- ''What are you talking about? If he's docile, then that's great!'' – Asked Damian.

- ''Well, because of this nature he doesn't get any stat boosts...'' – Replied Dalton calmly. – 'Wait, what? What am I talking about? How do I know this? Look, even the professor seems shocked! Just who was I before I lost my memories?!' – He was scratching the back of his head with an awkward smile.

- ''You seem to know a lot about Pokemon, but that doesn't mean that you're a good trainer! C'mon! Let's battle!'' – Yelled Damian.

- ''Just not in my lab!'' – Shouted the professor in fear. – ''Go outside and fight there!''

The boys went outside, found some free space and began their battle.

- ''Go! Kageyama!'' – Shouted Dalton as a Charmander covered in bones shoot out of his Pokeball and landed on grass. The flame on its tail was purple.

- ''Get'em! Squirtle!'' – Screamed Damian and a purple turtle with a headband and a cape landed on the ground. He smiled as he saw who he was facing.

- ''Okay! Use Twister!'' – Ordered Dalton and his Charmander spun around waving his tail. The flame formed a small purple tornado which was launched at the foe as Kageyama spun. The target was hit, and it did quite a lot of damage. As the hologram from the Pokedex showed, Squirtle's life bar was just a little above half.

- ''Ow! That hurt!'' – Cried Damian. – ''But it's my turn to attack! Use Bite!'' – The Pokemon leaped forward and bit the Ghost type foe. The health bar dropped drastically, almost hitting the end.

- ''Damn! That was super effective! Unless I get a critical hit, there is no way I will win this battle! Ugh... Damn! Use Twister again!'' – Kageyama spun again lunching a small tornado at the turtle. The HP bar stopped before it hit 0. There was no crit. – ''No!''

- ''Haha! Now's our chance! Use Bi-. What?! N-no way! Don't flinch now!'' – Damian panicked.

- ''Oh! That's right! Twister has a small chance to flinch the target! This is it! Let's finish him with a Twister!'' – Shouted the purple haired boy. The Charmander spun one more time unleashing a bigger tornado than usual. It hit the Squirtle dropping its health bar to 0. It was a critical hit! Not needed, but still.

- ''Damn it! My first battle, and I lost! You'll see, I'll get my revenge! But for now, I'll meet you in the cave in the northern part of the forest.''

- ''Yeah, see you!'' – Replied Dalton as Damian took off. – ''That was a close battle, you know that Kageyama? We need to train a lot to keep up with that Delta Squrtle...'' – He went to a Pokemon Center, to heal up.

After quite some time he arrived at a big cave. He had to battle his way to it through a lot of trainers so his Charmander was about level 13 now. He also saw a lot of wild Pokemons but somehow he knew all of them without checking the Pokedex. Something was telling him not to catch them, so he didn't. Dalton entered the cave. It was dark, but you still could see where you're going so it wasn't that bad. After advancing through the Telnor Cave he found Damian.

- ''Oh, here you are! I was waiting for you. Look I found these two rare stones! They are really hard! I found two, so you can have one too.'' – Damian handed one rare stone over to Dalton.

- ''These are just Hard Stones, you know?'' – He told him. – 'How? Again, how do I know this?' – Dalton asked himself. – ''But still, they are worth some money, so great job.''

- ''Thanks, now let's head back to-''

- ''He will not leave Telnor Town alive.'' – A deep voice cut him off. - ''My agent is already in place in Telnor Town. I assume yours is, too?''

- ''Yes. When the Augur arrives, he will likely be cautious, so we mustn't attack him immediately. '' – Another voice, a feminine one, answered him. – ''However, rest assured, he will be dead before he leaves Telnor Town.''

- ''Very good. This Augur disgusts me. The first one, while our enemy, I could at least grudgingly respect. This one is just useless- and he's practically brainwashed the entire region with all this propaganda he's spread about himself. Have you hear how ridiculous some of it is? He was born of fire and lighting and he rode Xerneas as a stead? The man's been Augur for a year, and already the people are worshipping him." – Dalton noticed, that Damien's fists were clenched really hard.

- ''Well, we won't have to worry about him after today, do we?" – Asked the woman. – ''Our agents will take care of that. Let's get going." – And the both of them wandered off.

- ''D-Dalton... Those... Those were cultists! They want to assassinate the Augur! We.. We need to warn him! Quick, let's come back to Telnor Town!'' – Damian was shaking. He was so scared in that moment, but at the same time so desperate to save Jearn.

They ran quickly. Dalton was surprised that Damian didn't notice the cultists saying that the Augur brainwashed the whole region. There was something fishy going on, and apparently only the cults realize that. Skipping each wild Pokemon, they made their way through the Shade Forest and arrived at the town. After visiting the Pokemon Center they entered the Town Hall and luckily, the Augur was still alive...

- ''Augur!'' – Cried Damian as he entered the building. – ''Look out, someone in here is planning to kill you!'' – The whole room went silent.

- ''Oh, really?'' – The Augur asked. – ''Do not fear! I'm the Second Augur after all, so I'll be able to fight off any criminal that'll stand before me!''

- ''Is that so?'' – Asked a man who was standing behind Jearn. – ''Let's check that theory out!'' – He quickly was joined by another man. They took off their clothes and showed how they really look. One of them was wearing red clothes with a strange hood. The other one was dressed entirely in blue.

- ''N-no!'' – Damian ran in front of the Second Augur. – ''I won't let you hurt the Augur! First you'll have to defeat me!''

- ''You idiot!'' – Said Dalton as he walked to Damian and stood next to him. – ''You won't be able to defeat two of them alone! I want to have fun as well...'' – He pulled his only Pokeball from his side and directed it at the blue cultist. – ''Let's battle!''

The battle began.

- ''Go! Kageyama!'' – The Delta Charmander landed on the floor next to Dalton.

- ''You and this monster are going to pay! Skrelp!'' – A seahorse-like Pokemon stood on the battlefield.

- ''Quickly, use Confuse Ray!'' – A strange ball of light appeared on Kageyama's tail, and as he waved it, the ball floated to the foe and hit him. The Skrelp was now confused.

- ''Argh... Shake it off! Use Bubble!'' – It hit the Charmander, but it wasn't very effective.

- ''Now, use Twister!'' – The dragon spun around creating a small tornado which hit the target for quite some damage, about a quarter of its life bar.

- ''Damn it! Use Feint Attack!'' – The man was angry, but the confusion did the job this time and the Skrelp hurt itself in confusion.

- ''Yes! Another Twister!'' – The tornado struck again taking another quarter of the Water Pokemon's HP. It was now a little below half, due to self damage.

- ''Hah! The confusion wore off! Now, strike with Fei-! N-no! Don't flinch!'' – The cultist clenched his fists.

- ''Another chance for us! Kageyama use Twister!'' – Skrelp's life bar dropped to minimum. One more hit and it's out.

- ''Gah! Feint Attack!'' – The Pokemon rushed to Charmander and attacked it quickly. It hadn't the chance to evade a attack like that! Delta Charmander's HP was just below half.

- ''Damn it! It was super effective! But he just lost! Twister!'' – A final tornado struck the fish down. Kageyama was now at level 14!

- ''This is not the end! Go, Horsea!'' – Another seahorse jumped out of a Pokeball.

- ''Hmph! I'm still faster! Use Twister!'' – The attack took almost half of its foe's HP.

- ''Damn you! Water Gun!'' – A stream of water shoot out of the Horsea's tube-like mouth. Kageyama's HP bar was quite low now, a third of its total health was still remaining.

- ''So close! Yet again, Twister!'' – He hit hard leaving the Horsea at about 4HP.

- ''You're really cheap kid! Using the same move all the time? You're pissing me off... Water Gun!'' – A critical hit left Delta Charmander at red HP.

- ''Sorry about that! I'm still new to battling so my skills aren't exactly great, but still... Looks like I win after all! Twister!'' – One final time, Kageyama spun around crating a purple tornado which took out the Horsea. The winner was Dalton!

He looked at Damian. It looked like he's just finished, and apparently he also won.

- ''N-no way! We lost to some kids? That's not possible!'' – Cried the men in red.

- ''Looks like we have some young, strong trainers here. I'll take it from here.'' – Said the Augur as he stepped forward. – ''Vinculorum mortae!'' – He chanted some kind of spell and the cultists disappeared.

- ''D-did you kill them?'' – Asked Damian.

- ''No, they were sent to prison in Helios City. They will await trial there. Thank you, young ones. I would surely made it without your help but I greatly appreciate it! You both should visit Helios City soon and meet me there. You seem quite powerful, so maybe, just maybe I would make you my soldiers? Anyway... I am going to await you in Helios City, but for now I'm saying goodbye to this beautiful town! I hope I can come back here pretty soon. Farewell!'' – And the Second Augur left.

After all this Damian and Dalton were declared heroes of the day, and were encouraged to go to Helios City. Damian left pretty soon waving goodbye to Dalton and saying that they should meet in a trainer school in Midna Town. It all ended happily, but there was still something bothering Dalton. It was the Second Augur. The cultists were saying that he brainwashed the entire region... It did seem that the people of Telnor Town were almost... Portraying him as a god. Was something like this going on in the entire region? This was very strange...

Aside from that all, it was a start of an amazing adventure. Dalton was sure of it. The day he woke up, was the beginning of the end.

=Save

Would you like to save the game?

=Yes

Dalton saved the game!

That would be the first chapter guys! As you could probably tell by reading this, English isn't my first language, so there are a lot of mistakes in there... But whatever! As long as you enjoyed it, it doesn't really matter right? Right. So basically this fanfic is based on my playthrough of the great game Pokemon Insurgence. I'm planning on makingthe plot a little bit different, but you'll see in the future how it will go! You can obviously see a lot of changes right now, like the Pokedex for example. Was there something else I wanted to tell you? I think not...

So, I hope you liked it! I'm working on the next chapter as we speak so wait patiently, and it will show up someday :D Comment and share your opinions or ideas, I would really appreciate it!

To the next chapter!
