"One servings Of egg Fried rice Please!"

"Two Softdrinks for me, Man"

"U-uhm. . .Three servings of Adobo, Please"

It was a Very Busy day In a Small eatery Where our main Character, Muez, is working at. Today is Friday, The day where More students And workers Comes to Eat His Delicious Dishes.

Muez McLaren, 24 years old. Orphan. Muez Just graduated Last year before he got hired by his neighbor To work In his small Eatery After learning how Good His Cooking skills was.

Muez, Who was Having A huge headache About how to Pay the rent for his Apartment, immediately accepted his offer Without any hesitation. It was Better to Fail while learning Along the way, Than sitting and doing nothing, afterall.

Time flew by and Sanchez, The Guy who hired him for his skills in cooking, Was amazed By how Quick Muez Learned To cook new dishes, Discover new methods to Increase The sales And Ways To please their Customers.

At first, Sanchez Had to admit that He didn't Believe That a kid Like Muez, An orphan That just graduated, Will Help Improve the Situation of his Small eatery. It was only because of his friend, Martha, Who was a Close friend of Muez at that time, That he even bothered to Visit the young man's apartment in order to Test whether His cooking skills will pass or not.

Who would've have known that a Very simple, Easy to cook Egg fried rice made by the kid will Immediately Change his Mind so quickly. The way the Flavor exploded in his mouth When He took his first Spoonful Of egg fried rice Convinced him that unless something unfortunate Happens, The kid Will surely help improve his eatery.

And Guess what? He's Indeed Right. The Following days after Hiring Muez, Sanchez Noticed the Continous growth to their Customers, Especially with the Old timers.

Hiring the kid Was The best Decision, After all.

"Alright, Please wait patiently. Your orders will come Up Immediately, Thank you".

Right after saying that, Muez immediately Returned to the Kitchen, Moving Around the Tables, Gracefully handling the Equipments And Appliances As he cooked The Orders of his customers.

Diana, A Fellow Cook Working at the Eatery was also Sweating Heavily. Given how Hot it was inside The kitchen right now, Just the Constant Moving around to Fetch ingredients In order to Cook the orders Were enough to Drop the woman down from exhaustion.

Diana really hated This Day. Not that she Hated the Money that she will earn from this, It's just that the Huge amount of orders that kept On coming in from the Window Always Frustrated her.

Seeing how Stressed His partner was, Muez Let out a Series of Laughter Before Slapping Her back weakly.

"Cheer up, Little DiDi. After All of this Hardwork, You will Finally be able to buy your favorite Action figure!", Said Muez In hopes Of cheering her up.

Hearing The Words Action figure, Diana's Sulking Face immdiately brightened up. Ever since she was a child, Diana Always Dream Of Owning Every pokémon Merchs Available in the market. Diana Loved Pokémons.

Diana loved their Unique appearances, especially the Cool looking ones. She loved the way they Fight, The way they Evolved, And the way they Co-exist With the humans In the Anime.

Diana Often Asked Muez About Which pokémon He will Choose if he was given the chance to own one.

Most of the time, Muez Will answer Her with a quick "Tyranitar" Or "Nidoking/Nidoqueen". Muez, Infected by the Enthusiasm that Diana Had towards Pokémons, Liked the cool Appearances Of the Behemoths. Especially Tyranitar and Nidoking.

Just Tyranitar's Intimidating appearance alone was enough To make Muez's Brain Buzz With Excitement. Or Nidoking's Majesty To make his Body Tremble with excitement about Owning one.

"You're right. . .You're right! Wait for me, My babies! Mama Will endure all this pain and sufferings in order to rescue you from the Boxes that held You all captives for years!", Exclaimed Diana with Enthusiasm and determination.

Shaking his Head At how quick her mood shifted, Muez Returned to His post and Started preparing The ingredients needed for the New orders.

Muez took an onion from a basket Beside him and when he was about to Slice it Into half, He suddenly caught Sight of A truck Rampaging it's way towards him through the Window.

Eyes Constricting and heart skipping some beats with fear, Muez Stood frozen As the truck Grew closer And closer Aggresively. Fully Determined to Crush him with it's Man crushing weight.

"Gotta Catch 'em All. I know it's my destiny~"

Muez's Fear for His Life and safety Flew away when He heard Diana's Melodious Singing.

'Oh no, Diana!'

Muez quickly turned around and Found out that unlike him, Diana was unaware about Danger that was about to Arrive. Muez's Eyes quickly searched for Places to Keep her safe and His sight fell at the Steel Table And Open fridge Beside her.

Without Any hesitation, Muez Exploded With speed And immediately arrived Behind Her. Startling the Crap out of her with All the kitchen wares he Knocked Off the tables Into the ground.

Diana Was about To Scold Him for startling her but was met with a Kick in Her chest that sent her Sprawling inside The Opened fridge Beside her.

Diana Groaned In pain and was absolutely Terrified by what just happened. Her bestfriend was just encouraging Her About Her dream earlier then He just suddenly kicked Her in the chest Without Even telling her why.

Diana Found it slightly difficult to breathe With how painful her chest Felt. Tears Welled Up in the corners of her eyes, Threatening to fall down any moment from now.

Diana was confused. Hurt And confused. She was about To question him about why he did that but was Shocked When Muez Flipped the steel table Towards her. It was at that time That Diana finally Heard the sound of A Roaring Engine. She Then saw the rampaging truck behind Him Through the open window.

Shifting her Gaze away from the truck, Diana Looked at Muez's Face and Saw Geniune Sadness and Happiness. Diana finally understood what just transpired. Tears Bursts Out from her eyes as she tried to Reach out towards Him, Hoping to pull him Towards her, Where there is a chance to survive the incoming disaster.

"You've Got To catch them all, Alright?"

With those final words, The steel Table Crashed to the Ground, Sealing the Fate between the two Bestfriends. One was destined To survive, While the Other Was destined to Die.

Muez Closed his Eyes in satisfaction. Satisfied That he was able to Save His Only bestfriend From The incoming Danger.

'Pupitar Still hasn't Evolved, Right? What a pity. . .'

Then A Loud Bang Came from behind him before Muez's Vision Turned black.

. . .

Eyes fluttered open As the Bright sunlight slowly woke him up. Confused by the rather Warm sensation, Muez Slowly came about Before he Sat up from the ground.

"Didn't I died? Didn't the Truck Turned my body into Meat paste?", Muez Asked himself. Confusion Visibly present in his Voice.

The confusion only grew stronger when he finally Realized Where he currently was. Tall grasses Of Various Kinds And Towering Huge trees Surrounded him. Different Sounds from different Creatures Came from every direction, Informing him that this forest was indeed Buzzling with life and danger.

Muez Slowly stood up, Wincing at the sudden pain that appeared In his Right shoulder. Muez Turned his head towards it and saw His shoulder bleeding.

Enduring the pain, Muez Looked around him and found A branch As thick As a Baby's Leg. Muez Used the Branch as a support and started walking forward, Fully intent on finding answers to his Numerous questions.

Where am I? Is there Anybody Around? Am I safe?

With all those questions Going around his head, Muez Continued On walking Before coming Face To face with a creature that both he and his bestfriend Can only Fantasized About owning one.

It's Violet fur And Curled Tail was a Huge give away, Especially it's Small stature, Huge front teeth And very Rodent Like appearance.

"ta?"

"The f-"
