My bloody head.
First thing's first: not only was I completely inexperienced with flying, but also having to deal with freak weather replaced with sunshine then rain again. That, and other, more hostile Pokemon.
I didn't know how much time passed, and by the looks of things, time would pass faster with that bleed I was carrying, or even slower. Yes, there was a light stream of blood that came out of the wound on my head. The car I had landed on (badly) wasn't in a good shape, and I was thankful I wasn't a car. Probably just my head. So, the rain was making me cold, but at least it would wash my blood away. The fighting seemed quieter here - I was probably somewhere south, maybe slightly to the west, since not many people lived around here. There was decent housing around, but it wasn't like some sort of district currently in demand. Around, buildings stayed empty with signs proclaiming their status of being top-notch houses and whatnot. Of course, there were squatters for the less fortunate people around city, although they'd usually be shooed off before going into some other house.
Anyway, checking if the owner of the car was around, I decided to take a little walk. Flying would definitely be off the books for now, and my ears were howling with sounds. I still didn't have any idea where that metallic scrapping was coming from. The air was wet and cold and would cause hypothermia sooner or later, and my bleed seemed to stop over time. No possessions was definitely going to be a problem, especially as I lacked money and such.
Meanwhile, behind me... "What happened to my frickin' car?!" I tried to walk away, but I found myself blacking out. Then waking up two seconds later, with my face on the concrete again. I wasn't alright. I dunno what forced me down here.
Within five minutes, I found myself being confronted by a... emotionally-confused owner of a car. He definitely wanted to help me out, but his damaged, customised car said otherwise. It was like a can crushed on one side. "Woah... am I alright, mate?" I didn't think I moved my mouth there.
Sooner or later, I was no longer experiencing wet weather and sudden changes of temperature, but an atmosphere synonymous with a cosy hotel lobby. Of course, outside, it was... well, my current state of health was as damaged as the current state outside. "No, no... argh, sorry about the car..." Vision was blurry, hospital was 'closed' for obvious reasons, medical supplies in the car were all crushed... so, a somehow-surviving hotel lobby with several others seemed alright.
"It's alright. Totaled, of course, but you can't replace a head." So, I think I heard him mention the name 'Bolton' in there. "You stay put, I got a family back at home to take care of." He was genuinely concerned, although before I could thank him, he quickly rushed out the door with a... well, some sort of pistol in his hand. I recognised it as a something-Arms brand weapon, which the name got changed to Bolton Industries... funny, how I was blacking out and trying to remember things.
So, I was stuck in a hotel lobby, with a TV blaring on how a video game CEO reveals 'shocking' information about this guy Ronald discovering some paranormal shit. I was seriously crazy. That, and I would go on an epic adventure which involved punching the shit out of a space fetus.
First, I would help these wankers. Some outside, some inside.
