Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon. If I did it would be very different.

It was just another day in Rustboro City, Every day just like the day before. I wake up, get dressed and go outside. Most of the kids my age spend their time on route 104. I am always left out though. I am nerdy, and weird. Too make things worse I am slightly emo. When you combine those things together it creates a person most kids don't want to hang out with. Everyone avoids me when I can. They leave me out and don't include me in any activities. It's not like I can just escape either. No, I am stuck here, and when you are stuck in a small town everyone knows who you are. The people around you create groups that separate them from each other. If you are the unfortunate outsider you don't get a group to be in. They prevent you from joining them. It's not like I haven't tried before. They don't want me there. Unlike everyone else I spend my time each and every day all alone. I channel of my sadness and anger into my drawing. Drawing keeps me from caving in, from getting depressed. I find that drawing is the perfect way to calm myself down. I write poetry to go along with some of my drawing too. It adds more depth to my art.

"Alexa, why don't you go outside? You should socialize with children your age.", My mom said.

"Mom, you know they don't want me there. None of the children like me.", I replied.

"Well, that shouldn't stop you from going somewhere else.", said my Mom

"Fine, I'll go but it won't end well.", I whined.

I grabbed my art supplies and put them in my bag. I then left the front porch and started walking towards route 104. As I stepped on the route I could see the bridge that was the only way to cross the pond. I walked up to the bridge and sat down. The water looked really nice. It was actually inspiring and gave me new ideas for my art. The water Pokémon that lived in the pond swam by periodically reminding me how much I wanted a Pokémon of my own. I never was allowed to get a Pokémon of my own. My mother was too protective of me. She was afraid that if I got a Pokémon that I would leave home and never return. I don't blame her though; she doesn't want to lose me like my brother, after what happened on that night.

"Oh look, is that Alexa. ", John asked rhetorically.

"Hahaha, what a loser.", Taylor laughed.

"Guys, just leave me alone. Why don't you go mess with some Zigzagoons or something.", I replied.

Taylor then suddenly grabbed a page of my art book and tore it out. She waved it around like it was a flag.

"Give it back Taylor.", I shouted.

"Nah, I don't think so.", She responded.

Taylor then shoved me into the ground and tossed the drawing I had worked so hard on all this morning into the pond. I watched as the colors on the paper faded into the water. My picture was beyond retrievable now.

"Later loser.", Jacob yelled.

Jacob and Taylor then headed back into Rustboro laughing as they walked. They wouldn't get in trouble, no one would yell at them. In fact only they will probably come up with some ridiculous story just to get me in trouble for something I didn't do. I stood up. I only do this occasionally, but I started running down route 104. I ran across the bridge and through Petalburg Woods with tears running down my face. I ran into Petalburg City without even really stopping to catch my breath. Normally I would stop there but today was different. Today ran to Oldale town, without stopping to catch my breath. I was really tiring but I still managed to do it. I was pretty out of breath after that. I had never been to Oldale town before today. It was way smaller than Rustboro. There were only a few houses in it. It shocked me that they would even consider it a town. I towards the Pokémon center and sat down right next to the entrance. I examined my surroundings. There were way more trees than in Rustboro. It inspires me to draw something totally different than I had before, something happy for once. I haven't felt happy in a long time. It felt almost surreal. I inhaled the fresh air as I thought of new ideas for my art. I wanted to stay longer but I couldn't. I had to head home because it would get dark soon. I got back up from my spot and started to walk. It made me sad that I had to leave but I knew that I would definitely return tomorrow. Maybe I would even visit Petalburg Gym. As continued to walk along route 102 I felt as if something was watching me from the shadows. I stopped for a minute but I saw nothing and continued walking. Out of the blue though I could hear something whispering, a faint little voice that was saying,

"Why are you so sad?"

"Who's there", I replied.

I saw something lurking in the shadows then. It grew closer and closer to me. I thought for sure was doomed. That was it. This was the end of me. The grass moved as it moved closer. I closed my eyes as I prepared to meet my fate. I heard the voice again though.

"Don't be afraid of me.", whispered.

I opened my eyes and looked down. I was foolish. I was just a Ralts. My eyes widened as I remembered that Ralts doesn't appear very often. What really shocked me was that it would appear before me. I was very sad. Ralts don't appear very often, and when they do the go to a person who has positive emotions.

"Why are you here, and how can you talk to me?" I asked.

"I am a physic type pokemon. We can talk to people using telepathy. I would like to know why you are sad.", The Ralts replied.

"No one likes me. I often spend my days alone. I draw to keep myself occupied but I get very lonely being by myself.", I told the Ralts

"Oh, Can I keep you company?." ,the Ralts asked.

"Sure. I don't have any pokeballs with me so your will have to walk.", I replied.

"Ok, where are we going?", the Ralts said.

"Rustboro City, that's where I live.", I said.

"Wow, I've never been there before.", Ralts responded.

"What's your name?", I asked curiously.

"Leo", Ralts responded.

"Ok, I guess I will call Leo then.", I told the Ralts.

Me and Leo then walked together as we headed back to my home. As I walked I hoped that my mom wouldn't freak out when I introduced her to my new companion.

So what did you guys think? Please feel free to leave any suggestions for future chapters. Also, please let me know if there are any grammar or spelling mistakes. Lastly, please remember that the Ralts's name is Leo. I will also refer to him as that.
