Collin

Collin groggily woke up at around 3:00 in the afternoon on the terrifying day that any survivor would remember for the rest of their life. He had spent the night before studying and reviewing some books he had purchased earlier on evolutionary stones. He rubbed his eyes tiredly, trying to remember what he was supposed to be doing today, until it finally occurred to him that he had scheduled to visit his parents in Saffron City. In a rash daze he bolted up, getting dressed as quickly as possible. He had opted to not even bother to brush his hair, opting to put on a hat instead, before making his way to Saffron post haste.

When he got there it was around 4:25, he believed he had scheduled to meet his family at approximately 4:40 so he had time to spare. So, he thought that he might as well enjoy the pleasant atmosphere the day had given him, the sky was clear, and a nice cool breeze gracefully swirled around him. But it didn't take long for things to change. Suddenly, almost out of nowhere, the town was in a craze of riot, panic, and terror. He had no idea how to comprehend what was going on, many people were crying and looking for loved ones, others were attacking and mauling each other...the scene was horrific...almost as if it were out of a movie. But this was no movie, and Collin needed to survive.

He bolted as fast as he could to get to his parents lab, but the streets were far too crowded for him to make any progress. He called out his Kadabra in order to put any threatening people to sleep as he continued, calling Kadabra back almost immediately in fear that his Pokemon would get afflicted by whatever was happening to these people. Collin wanted to find out what was causing them all to get this crazed...he wanted to find answers.

But now wasn't the time, he had to take action before his conscious got altered like the others of the city. He stumbled through into someones house, close friends of the family, and was horrified at what he saw. An adult male body was sprawled across the floor, and Collin heard the muffled cries of a young child coming from down stairs in the basement. He steadily but hastily moved down to the underground floor and saw a teary eyed mother holding her child in her arms. He could tell they weren't effected by the craze...just mourning the loss of a loved one, "I...I'm sorry for your loss..." He said, his throat hoarse. "I'm sorry for intruding...there weren't many other options really..." He looked down to the ground to further express his condolences, allowing them to mourn in peace.
