Chapter One
Deep within the Snowpoint Temple, archeologist Hannah Hayes analyzed the ancient runes on the walls. Her purple eyes narrowed as she studied the runes, writing them done in her notebook. Hannah moved her hair out of her eyes and whispered, “Remarkable! Danny! Come look! Danny?”
She stopped looking at the runes and looked around the temple. Her five-year-old son, Daniel, was not anywhere in the temple.
“Danny?” she called, growing worried. She placed her notebook next to her back and zipped up her purple coat, ran to the exit, her tan boots smacking the hard ground. She was stopped by a man in a heavy, brown coat which goggles on. The man said, “You can’t leave the temple. A horrible blizzard has begun.”
“But,” cried Hannah. “My son is out there!”
The man smiled and assured Hannah, “He’ll be fine. A lot of trainers-”
“HE’S NOT A TRAINER HE’S FIVE!!!” bellowed Hannah, shoving the man out of her way. She went to the entryway and gasped, looking through a window. The blizzard was very thick and fierce. She couldn’t even open the door if she wanted to because the wind was too fierce.
Hannah sat down hard in front of the door, hugging herself for warmth and reassurance.
“Danny…” she prayed. “Please be okay…”
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Daniel Hayes just realized he had gotten way over his head with all of this; both literally and figuratively. The blizzard had come so suddenly while Danny had been exploring the Acuity Lakefront, having grown bored of his mother reading a wall. The sky had been clear moments before… now Danny was freezing, barely able to move through both the snow and the wind, and he was lost. Danny didn’t dare call out for help; not only would his cries not be heard, but he was afraid of freezing his throat. He then spotted the opening to Lake Acuity. He rushed over there, soon coming over the frozen lake. The blizzard was somehow growing ever worse, the wind knocking the small boy onto the frozen lake. Danny soon spotted a cave on the lake and charged into the cave, taking shelter from the blizzard.
Coughing and shivering, he looked around. The cave wasn’t very impressive but it sheltered Danny so he didn’t care. He began to try and make himself remember what his mother told him about the cave, ignoring the pain he was feeling for probably make his mother worry about him. He took off his hood, his messy auburn hair fall to his shoulders. His bright green eyes looked around, remembering the stories his mother told him about the Poke’mon Uxie. He smiled to himself, feeling a bit better thinking that there was a legendary Poke’mon inside the cave.
He couldn’t help it. “Hello?” he called. “Uxie? Are you in here? Hello?”
Deciding that doing this would make him feel better, he began to “talk” to Uxie.
“I don’t blame you for living in this cave,” he spoke, wondering if Uxie would hear him. “It’s great shelter from the blizzards… and warm. Well, being the ‘The Being of Knowledge’ it isn’t that surprising. I bet you get real lonely in here…”
Danny stopped talking and turned to the cave mouth, watching the storm grow worse. Feeling like someone was watching him, he turned and came face-to-face with Uxie. He shook off the shock and said, “Hello… have you come to talk to me? Or do you just need some company?”
No reply. Danny smiled and said, “Its okay! You can talk to me! I’m everyone’s friend! …besides Poke’mon hunters, Team Rocket and Magma… and all the bad guys I suppose.”
Uxie then opened its eyes and looked at Danny, whose pupils grew small, his mind having been wiped out completely by Uxie’s eyes. The boy fell to his knees, expression showing a bit of surprise from the instant when Uxie began to open its eyes. Uxie flew around the boy for a moment, than his eyes began to glow, teleporting Danny elsewhere, leaving his coat behind. Uxie then vanished.
