"No! I'm not going!" I shouted as I struggled from my Uncle's grip but to no successes. My name's Willow Nivlo, will for short, today's my birthday and I'm now 16 years old! "You are going on this journey like it or not!" normally people would go out on their Pokémon journey at the age of 12 but not me I prefer to stay at home with Vano, my trusty Castform he's been with me for a long time, and play video games in a dark room hidden from the world.

I was almost always alone my parents and baby sister died in a car crash one night one our way home from picking my sister up from nursery and me from school. After being in hospital for about a mouth I was released to live with my Uncle, Steve. I was only 5 at the time so I was terrified I always hid from him as much as I could. Though it wasn't hard he always travels around he goes to Hoenn and Unova a lot and comes back to Sinnoh every now and then. For my 6th birthday he came back from Hoenn and gave me Vano, this was the time I started to open up to him. Now I love him, and Vano, the most!

"Young lady you will go to Professor Rowan's lab this instant!" Steve was angry now. We've been arguing about this for half an hour now. I punch and kick as much as I can but he's just too strong! Finally I give up, going on a journey may not be as bad as I think it will be right? "Ok, ok fine I'll go just put me down!" He gently puts me down to the ground and I shuffle away to the table and begin eating my now mush cereal. Steve holds up a mirror in front of my face, I instantly know what to do as if he told me telepathically. My short curly ginger hair was sticking out in all directions and black circles were forming under my green orbs. I sprint upstairs and get washed. After I get out the bath room I pull on my white shirt and some green jeans. I brush my hair to the side and straighten it only for it to poof back up into a curly mess, why did it always do that? I put on some green and white trainers and I head back down stairs.

I walk up to my uncle and give him a hug. "Are you sure this is a good idea? I mean what if I died or something!" He gave a small chuckle and patted me on the head reassuringly, "Don't worry Vano'll be there, Kira and Kuro are going to be with you!" I stare at him blankly. The thought of Kira and Kuro being together for too long sends a shiver down my spine. They fight whenever they're 10 meters close! Like to monkeys fighting over the last banana after being starved for a week. I push the thought to the back of my mind. We end our embrace and Steve hands me a bag. I give him a confused look. He just smiles, I look inside to see someone potions and Pokéballs. I look up and give him a goofy grin. I finally leave and start to head to the place me and Kira always meet. Under the apple tree!
