I sat down on my bed. It was another depressing day for me. Johto was no longer a challenge. Neither was Kanto, same for Sinnoh and Hoenn for that matter.
I had defeated all of the gym leaders numerous times. I took on the Elite Four and both Lance and Red week after week. I'm sure they were kinda pissed about me challenging them all the time, but so was I.
Ever since I defeated Red the first time, Pokémon battles were too easy. The champions, or technically former champions, were easy as well. I had trained my team to perfection.
No one even tried to challenge me.
No one, except one.
Silver
It still hurt to say or even think his name after the way he dumped me. I was heart broken. I still am, just not as much. I didn't even know why he dumped me. It was so sudden. We've been going out for a few years; I was in love with him. I thought the same went for him, but I obviously was wrong.
My broken heart wasn't the only reason I've been depressed. Ever since I became Champion of Johto, the press has been swarming me. It grew worse and worse as I beat more champions and gym leaders.
I attempted to go to Hoenn and Sinnoh to escape the celebrity life. Only a few people would recognize me, but that also changed when I beat the champions, May of Hoenn and Dawn of Sinnoh, there.
They were barely a challenge, even though I did have an almost completely new team for each region. Each team with Pokémon found on that region.
I thought of what to do next with my life.
"BRRRIIINGGGG!" my pokegear rang.
It was Ethan. "Hey Ethan, what's new?" I asked.
Ethan and I have been best friends since the day we met in kindergarten. He was always there for weather it be homework, the press, or other people…
"Not much Lyra, just bored." He answered.
"Oh," I answered emotionlessly. I was hoping her had some news. A challenger would be nice or something new. He was one of the only people who didn't treat me like a celebrity.
"Hahaha, gotcha!" he called.
"Huh?" I was confused. What could Ethan possibly have to say? Has he actually found me a challenge? I've asked him to find a trainer worthy of my skills ever since Silver.
He was always unsuccessful, so he didn't even bring any trainers he found to battle me. They all wanted the press to come so they could say they are "famous".
"Lyra, I found a new challenge for you!" Ethan said over excitedly.
"Really? Who?"
"Not who, where."
"What?" I was once again hopelessly confused. Where could I possibly go without someone recognizing me? Even Unova knew who I was and they would swarm me like Combees to honey.
"Bianca and I have a plan on how you can go to Unova and not be recognized." He said in a smile. (I suppose)
"What?" what could he possibly mean?
"Get on your laptop with the web cam and join me Bianca and Cheren!" Ethan sounded excited. "Ok! See ya!" I turned of my pokegear.
I was excited. I could finally go to Unova and not be recognized! The only problem was that I had no idea on how no one would recognize me.
I went over to my desk and turned on my video camera. Ethan, Bianca, and Cheren appeared on the screen.
"Hey guys!" I opened.
"Hiya, Lyra!" Bianca greeted joyfully.
"What's new, champ?" Cheren said.
"Not much other than being stupid champion." I answered Cheren miserably. I absolutely hate being champion. I know it's every trainers dream to be the strongest trainer, but you get no joy once you beat the rest and the best.
"And this is where the rest of us come in!" Bianca half shouts.
"Late last night, Bianca and I were talking about never being able to see each other." Ethan began. He and Bianca have been going out since the day I attempted to go to Unova. It was love at first sight. They were a perfect couple.
"After a while we were talking about what if you and I came to Unova. Of course we knew everyone would know you. Bianca has a solution though."
"You see Lyra, if you had a disguise no one would recognize you. Of course you would also change your name. How do you like Touko? You spell it T-O-U-K-O. I like the name it's cute!" Bianca chattered.
Touko, that sounds nice. "Yeah Bianca, that'll be perfect! You're gonna make me an outfit right? And where will I stay? What about my hair?" That was gonna be a problem. I've tried disguises time after time, but press or fans would recognize me just by my hair."
Don't people have a life? I thought.
"Lyra, have you had a good look at your hair lately? It's gotten a lot longer than last time you were in Unova. Use some dye and ta-da! You'll now be Touko!" Cheren said.
I looked at my hair. It has gotten a lot longer. I guess I never noticed. The once elbow length hair now reach all the way down to my lower back.
"Yeah, that'll work. What color do you think I should make it? Darker or lighter?" I ask.
"Darker would look nice. Plus it will be easier because it's easier to make hair darker than lighter." Bianca, Queen of Style and Fashion, suggested.
I nodded my head. Of course Bianca is right, she always is in fashion. "I'll send the entire outfit over tomorrow! You'll be staying with your cousin Touya and your aunt. E-mail me and Cheren when your ready to go and we'll be over the next day." Bianca, apparently Master of Plans, chattered.
I smiled. This was the greatest idea Bianca has ever had! Then again, she did have Ethan's help, and he always came up with great plans.
"See you later, Lyra!" Ethan farewelled.
"Bye-Bye, Lyra!" Bianca left as well.
The sections of screen where they were disappeared, and now it was only me and Cheren.
"Lyra, you should bring one of your stronger Pokémon with you, just in case. Some pretty messed up things are beginning to go on here. Just keep in your backpack or something." Cheren said.
"Why would I put it in my backpack? Remember these?" I said, running my fingers through my neck lace decorated in fiery red beads. I made it for my Charizard, who I was recently training.
I hand made special, one of a kind necklaces for each of my starter, or important, Pokémon. They're made so I can hook and un-hook the star Pokémon from my neck.
"Oh yeah, those. So, you gonna bring Charizard?" Cheren questioned.
"Don't think so, I was just training him."
"Torterra? I know how much you loved raising that one."
"Nope."
"Sceptile, it's go to be her. I mean, you always love that leaf blade."
"And no again."
"Oh, I see. You're going to use your favorite, the original starter, the one rumored to be stronger than the mighty Arceus, Meganium!"
"And you're still wrong."
"WHAT?"
I could tell how freaked Cheren was. He always expects me to use my strongest all the time. I only save the legends for a final resort. They're machines, but there is one Pokémon I have neglected near the beginning of my journey. It began with low training, then the PC box.
I took her out after I became Champion of Johto. We trained throughout Kanto and its gyms. Then she defeated Red's Venasaur, Blastoise, and Charizard. It was then that I made her a necklace.
A sky blue on with a few pure white feathers that circled around it.
"Who are you taking with you then?" Cheren asked, bringing me back to the present.
"I'm not telling." I smirked.
"Come on Lyra!" Cheren whined.
"Nope, my mouth is locked shut and the key is no where to be found."
"Just one hint! Please!"
I contemplated on this for a second. I guess one hint wouldn't hurt.
"Okay, your hint is: se yon kalite vole" I never said my hint would be English.
"I can't speak that language! I'm just learning that and you know that!" Cheren continued to rant.
"Then I have a challenge for you Cheren. You start your own journey and challenge me. Get me into a corner so I will have to use my secret Pokemon!"
"You're on!"
A/N: Hope you guys like this! The story will basically follow the story in the Black and White games, but Lyra is the main chatacter(even if she is called Touko). Also, Lyra's hint to Cheren is in another language if you missed that. Just go on Google Translate and try to figure it out! Read and review!
