Me (pokeninja6600): Hi everyone! This is my collaboration with Poke-Lover-88! For all you Roma-lovers out there (and there are, surprisingly a lot), she is in this story, however, I tweaked her a little bit. This will not be her actual back story (i plan on posting that later, maybe, if you ask sweetly) and Amy will not be in this one.

Roma: Hi everyone! I'm Roma...

Me: *face-palm* They know this.

Roma: *glares at me* Oh well. *turns back to face crowd* Anyways, I'm back! Poke-Lover created a new rival, oh correction, friend for me. Eve will be in these as well because I couldn't survive without her. They don't own pokemon, only me, Eve and a new chick named Eva.

Me: So sorry for the uber long Author's Forenote, but you can read now. Remember to review!

Roma's POV

I was ten. Ten is a fragile age. It can make or break you. Thankfully, I don't break easily. But I still remember it clear as day.

*FLASHBACK*

I had just woken up when I heard my mom scream. I bolted out of bed, opened my door and slinked silently to a well-used and -known place below my parents' door. She was talking to my sitter in the room.

"Oh, Ms. White, I'm so sorry that this happened..."

I heard my mom sniffle and she said, "No, no, it's not your fault. He always wanted to explore the world and after his father betrayed him like that...(I heard a weak smile in her voice) I shouldn't have expected anything less from N... even with a daughter to raise."

I settled my nerves and opened the door. My mom was sitting on the bed with her head in her hands.

My mother, who showed no emotion, who was my rock when I was swimming endlessly, who was always ready to comfort me, who was Unova's freaking CHAMPION, now had to be comforted herself.

She looked up at me and tried to smile. "Hi sweetie." she said.

I wasn't interested in the small talk."What happened to dad?"

"Oh, well dear, he," she decided to be blunt with me. "Sweetie, N is gone. He's gone to, well, we don't really know. It's like, in five hours, your father has completely vanished off the face of the Earth. Like, POOF, and he's gone." she said. (A/N: If you hadn't caught on by now, N is married to White and White and N are Roma's parents.)

My world started to spiral slowly out of control. My dad was my role model. He taught me that pokemon are not tools. He taught me how to communicate with pokemon. My dad was everything to me and suddenly, with no explanation, he disappears.

Then, only two weeks later, my mom dies. Before she left on that cursed subway, mom gave me something. It was an Eevee statue.

"That is very special," she had said to me. "See the ruffles on its chest and the tip of its tail?"

I nodded. "They're silver. And the fur is gold. Your father wanted to give this to you on your birthday but, I guess that won't be happening. So I went to the vault (hahaha, my dad was a king!) and retrieved it so you could have it." mom said.

Then she pressed the Eevee into my palm and balled up my hand. "Keep it with you wherever you wander, okay? Promise me that, sweetie." I nodded and held the Eevee close to my heart. Then she kissed my forehead and was off.

She was shot. She had gotten on the subway train and found a person aiming a gun at a little boy. She stepped in between the gun and the boy and reasoned the man into a battle. She won and the man wasn't happy. So he shot her and ran off.

The police found her, dead on the street with a bullet in her head, a day later. They said she didn't suffer, that she died immediately and probably didn't even know what happened.

Then a woman officer with blue hair knelt down to my level and gave me a cube on a string. She said this was the only thing that my mom had on her person at the time, besides her pokemon that were set free.

It was a bitter irony. My mom and dad met because mom refused to give up her pokemon. Now, she's gonna see him again after her pokemon were released. The lady started talking to another that looked just like her about me moving in with my uncle, Black.

That was when I ran. And I've been running ever since.

Me: Okay, that turned out a lot darker than I expected.

Roma: ...

Me: hahaha okay then! So review in the little box below and I'll be very, very happy! Poke-Lover writes the next one from Eva (her OC's)'s POV. So enjoy it when I post it!
