Chapter 1: The Nightmare

My name is Grey Leni and this is my story... of how I destroyed destiny.

Location: Seavault Canyon, Seven Island

365 Days Until Silver Conference

"G'night, Caycee. Let's get some sleep" I said to my Sneasel as I crawled into bed. She cuddled up next to me to keep warm, as the heat in our shack was broken. We were leaving for our second journey the next day at noon, and needed a good night sleep. She was my only pokemon, and that is what caused me problems on our first journey.

1 Month Earlier at the Indigo Platuea

"What do you mean I can't enter the Indigo Conference!" I yelled at the woman behind the front desk. "We got eight badges! We traveled all over Kanto, defeating anyone in our way! And now you're telling me that we can't enter because we're alone!" The woman ended up calling security when we refused to leave, and that's how our first journey ended. After watching the conference on TV I realized I was probably crazy for trying to enter with only one pokemon with me. It's not that I don't like other people or pokemon, it's just that I have a hard time trusting anyone. Other than Caycee that is.

2 Years Earlier; Tenoby Ruin, Seven Island

I first met Caycee two years ago when exploring the Tenoby Ruins, the island ruins to the south of the canyon where I lived. I was examining a cave when I found a massive number of injured Unown lying on the ground. I remember so clearly; They spelled out "Destiny". When I went in deeper to find the cause, I found a pink Sneasel asleep on the ground, trembling in fear. I brought her back to my shack and let her sleep in my bed. When she finally woke up three days later, she explained (to the best of her ability, she can't speak English, after all) that she was attacked by something. I soon found out that she quite enjoyed fighting, and the two of us began training together. After spending a year together, I officially caught her and the two of us headed to the port in Vermillion City, where we began our journey.

Back to the present day

Caycee and I were fast asleep, so I didn't even here it come in. Since meeting Caycee, I would have frequent nightmares, and tonight was no exception. It was always the same thing; Caycee and I, along with 5 other pokemon along with other trainers and their pokemon (however I couldn't make out any faces), would be battling against a beam of light and once the smoke cleared, I would be all alone with only Caycee lying there dead. A dark voice when then whisper to me, "Destroy your destiny," at which point I would wake up.

This time, however, the voice at the end showed its face. It crept up out of the shadows, and I saw a pokemon like none I had ever seen. "Who are you?" I asked, however it was a good twenty seconds before the pokemon said anything. The pokemon then turned to me and said "I am Darkrai, the destroyer of your destiny." I opened my eyes and the pokemon was gone. It was morning, and it was time to start a new journey. These nightmares had left me terrified of trusting anyone other than Caycee, but it looked like that I didn't have a choice if I wanted to win the Silver Conference. I'd have to open my heart to others, no matter how scared I was.
