Prologue:
The Kalos Journey Begins!
Some rain fell as I was resting comfortably in my sleeping bag, which happened to be inside a nice warm tent. The branches swayed of the tree above me swayed violently in the wind. Thunder crackled, betraying their location amongst the clouds. I could see the bright flashes of lightning, piercing the skies above. I shuttered. I didn't care for thunderstorms at night.
Peach was sharing a space just outside the sleeping bag, next to me. I let her sleep next to keep me safe. Occasionally, she would sleep on top of my feet. Her body was heavy, but I didn't mind.
"This is exactly what I needed to start my day… err, night!" I thought, sighing. I looked over at Peach. I sat up and started to pet the top of her head. "Peach, you're lucky! You're not scared while you sleep!"
The thunder started to disperse. That's when I swore I heard noises! Peach immediately shot upwards, into a full stance. Her stripes began to glow bright yellow. "Let's go!" she chittered, pulling on my hand.
"Okay." I nodded. I got up carefully. I grabbed my coat, slipping it on. I breathed in its smell, as it smelled exactly like my dad's coat. I unzipped the entrance of my tent and the cold wind and rain blasted my face, chilling my nose and hurting my eyes. She too, braced herself from the cold. However, she quickly recovered, as her stripes began to glow again.
I could hear the voices again. "Hello?" I called out. My eyes were starting to get used to the dim lighting.
"Over here!" one of the voices called back. I followed the sound of the voice. My eyes were getting used to the dark.
There, in the dim light, was a man, a woman and a Meowth.
"She looks like Lunchbox Man!" the Meowth said in perfect English, which startled me.
I then realised who they were, remembering what Dad told me in his flashbacks: Team Rocket!
"Oh, boy. What have I gotten myself into now?" I thought.
