AN: Who is awesome to come up with a new series!? Or maybe three… This Girl! MKLG! Don't worry I won't forget about the others, but I wanted these out there to see how well they view. This series kind of reflects on a future Pokémon world. I'll come up with more as I go and/or suggestions are welcome. Warning I do tend to use some choice words in this one. I also tried to make it a little serious and humorous.

Before you start, Keygan is pretty easy to pronounce, the way it looks. Jyotsna is pronounced Joyce-na. I don't care what translate says, because this is how I pronounce it. So you're not confused. I like odd spelling for names even though they may be wrong.

Disclaimer: Like usual with my series I write, I only own the characters.

Chapter 1: Enlightening the Beginning

Application to Become a Pokémon Trainer…

It was so simple back then. Now, not everyone was deemed worthy of a Pokémon. They made potential trainers fill out applications and they weren't short either. This way they were unsure of no Pokémon abuse or let them in the wrong hands. Crime against or with Pokémon was high and the League Committee agreed they couldn't take risk with people pretending or working for organization that committed actions. This was why a background check was included. Lots of trainers were accepted and they understood once you got your starter what you did they couldn't control. Speaking of starters, now what your starter was all weird. Some people got normal starter Pokémon ranging from the region you lived in as they were deemed worthy and fit. Keygan lived Kanto so they were Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle. They were consider average trainers. They were middle ground so to say. Below them was substandard and if you were one of them you were screwed. Your starter varied from Magikarp to Rattata with very little room to fill in between. They considered you on the weaker side and if you could train such a weak Pokémon to be strong then it'd give you respect. The last level and the highest was the advanced. In the advanced level the starters were stronger as a pre-evolved such Pikachu even to the rare Dratini. Someone loved you if that was your starter. What someone got as their starter was chosen for you and you pick it up at the nearest representative which is normally a professor.

Fourteen year old Keygan Jyotsna was filling out her trainer application. She put all the information needed from basic to non-basic. Keygan knew how the system worked as it seemed everyone was watching you from the friendly nurse in the Pokémon Center to the man who ran the battle house in Viridian City. This was how they got other information like what kind of a person you were. As she filled out the forms she remembered the stories she got from the older trainers that mention what it was like to become a Pokémon Trainer. She wished it could be like that. No one would care about where you came from. That if she knew too. They'd probably find out aspects about herself she'd been dying to know. She's an orphan having been abandoned at the age of five. She lived in a home for kids like her. They either became trainers or grew up and got jobs. Some even turned to the sides of evil because at least it gave them a sense of belonging. That was what she was worried about. Knowing that they'd probably put her with substandard and she'd be stuck with Magikarp. Which she'd be okay with it evolved into Gyarados which was strong. Plus she liked the underdog.

As night was continuing on she finished up the application. She then submitted it and her wait began. She got up from the computer and went to the mirror. She picked it up and brushed through her uneven medium length brown hair as her blue eyes stared into the mirror. She needed out. Luckily because she was fourteen her foster parents thought it was best to allow her to have her own room. Plus she was the oldest. It wasn't that she didn't like them, it was just as the oldest she was treated differently. She was treated like an adult, but she wasn't. She wanted to go on a journey with Pokémon and maybe find out about herself. All she could do know was wait.

She had to run as fast as her paws could take her. She admitted the human who had helped her was kind to rescue her, but that seemed his job. He was supposed to rescue her. All she could think about was freedom. She belonged to no human nor would she ever. She was her own Pokémon. No longer would she be confided or forced to change. As she ran she slammed into something. She shook her head and looked to see a person. The person smiled and tossed something. She tried to run, but she was captured. Freedom lasted about two days before it was taken again.

A little over a week had passed since she sent in her application and she hadn't heard anything. It usually took a few days, it was late. Usually if you weren't accepted at all they'd were kind enough to tell you. She guessed she could be happy with the volunteer work she did for old lady Diana. Diana ran a house for orphaned Pokémon. Keygan had been helping out since she was allowed to at ten years old. All the Pokémon loved her. Diana said she could befriend any Pokémon like the hostile Meowth who swiped at everyone. Sure Keygan had some scars from the little guy, but she didn't give up. She'd hang out with him in a corner just talking about anything and left food and treats. She remembered there was a fight and she defended Meowth against a Mankey. He attacked the cat and Keygan defended him. She wasn't badly hurt, but knocked down. Meowth reacted and protected her. The Mankey ran off seeing there was no point to continue. They were best friends after that.

A couple days later she sat with Meowth petting him. The scratch cat purred in delight, but he sensed something was wrong with the girl. He hoped his positive outlook on the day would cheer her up. He knew what she wanted from when she'd just talk to him before he'd even think about getting close. She randomly talked about what she wanted to do. She wanted to be a trainer. She didn't know what as long as it included Pokémon. He wanted to be her Pokémon, but he wasn't allowed because he lived in the house with previous human interaction. That and he wasn't the battler. He was a lap cat and he knew it.

"Keygan!" Diana called walking into the living room where she and Meowth were. Every time the woman saw her she had to shake her head because it was unbelievable what she did for Meowth. Meowth still didn't like many people, but he was social able. The cat could sure purr as she heard from the doorway.

"Yeah?" she asked. It wasn't five yet. Actually it was only noon.

"I have a letter for you," she said handing to her. It had an official seal of the Pokémon League. If Keygan wasn't so in shock she would have made a comment about better late than never.

Before Keygan could open the letter a white slash crossed it slicing it at the top perfectly. She quickly looked down to see Meowth grinning whisker to whisker about his move. She slid the letter out and opened it. She read over the letter and grinned. She had been accepted. Meowth face dropped when he looked at it. His friend would be leaving, but it would be for the best. Perhaps one day he'd see her again. He knew about if you love something let it go.

Keygan packed her gear up as she prepared to take a bus from her little town between Fuchsia and Lavender to Pallet Town to see Professor Eden about her starter. It would take about a day and she'd arrive the next morning. If she could pick her starter she would have asked Meowth. She kept thinking about what she got. She didn't even know what class she was a part of. She really hated they classified them. She has hoping to turn this around. Not many people were put in advanced, she at least had to average, but who knows what occurred during the hearing about applications. She knew she'd go from there to see about where to go.

The next morning Keygan got off the bus and looked around. Pallet Town was small and quiet. She'd liked it even though she'd only been in town for a few seconds. She looked across town to see a building that looked like a lab. Keygan picked up the pace and ran toward it.

"Hello?" she called entering. She heard a crash and moving around. She winced hearing the noise and saw a late twenty aged woman with currently crooked glasses and messy hair come out.

"Hi, are you Keygan?" she asked.

"Yes I am. Professor Eden?" she wondered.

"One of them. My brother is another, but I can give you all you need. It was his job, but he left on business yesterday asking me if I'd do it. Come this way." She mentioned before motioning the girl to follow. As they passed a mirror the professor saw herself. "Oh my goodness! I look like a mess. Sorry about that!"

"Not a problem," she laughed. She was an eccentric woman, Keygan wondered what her brother was like. "If you don't mind me asking, what do you do?"

"Well, we research human and Pokémon relationship and what occurs from the different types, but what we want to aim for is trying to return back to the day where the chance was given to everyone. You can't just ask a professor for a Pokémon anymore, I hate it."

She wasn't the only one. Keygan wondered could she convince her to allow her to help. There was really only one way to find out. She have to ask, but she wondered it would be weird.

"I see, sounds interesting…um, I feel the same," Keygan mentioned.

"Most people do, but only select few actually want to make a change. I understand why we now live like this, but it affects us all. Researchers don't get much to look into anymore while it seems only the powerful get to trainers." Eden replied implying that was what she thought Keygan was.

"You're mistaken about me," Keygan snapped knowing that was what she thought. "I'm from a foster home in Cyan Town. I'm on a lower level."

"Oh I'm sorry about that…my mistake," she apologized sincerely while going to her files and pulling up Keygan's. The girl was indeed correct about herself. She was from Cyan Town where she was an orphan. She looked at everything about what she was to do for the girl. She picked up a Pokédex and Poké Balls. "Well here are these. You'll need them for your journey. I'm assuming I don't have to explain."

"Nope, I know the Pokédex allows trainers to look up new Pokémon and understand them. Poké Balls are a duh because they capture wild Pokémon."

"Now, for your Pokémon." She said starting to walk back to the room.

"Professor, um…I was wondering, is there a way I can help you with get the world back to the way it was?" Keygan asked. Keygan had a good idea that if she helped the professor with this than she would have something.

"We don't have many field operatives. My brother does all that while I keep up the research…I don't know…" Eden said worried. This was a child wanting to interfere with the affairs of humans in the world of Pokémon. She looked at the soon to be trainer to see the determination. She could tell young Keygan believed in fairness. Nothing in her life was fair so she thought at least others should be happy. She looked at the girl to see scratches on her arms that were obviously caused by a Pokémon. She didn't want to impose.

"Please, I could search around. The League must not entirely agree with what has happened." Keygan commented.

"You're right…organization have them at their will to try and take over. Pokémon are being used to their fullest potential in order to aid them." Eden explained.

"You mean?" Keygan said putting it together by 'fullest potential'.

"Yes, forced to evolve. If a Pokémon can't evolve or get any stronger as a one evolution they're regarded as weak."

"That's horrible!" Keygan yelled. It made her sick to her stomach to think about people like that. Despite the League was said to be made up of strong trainers, it seemed to be a hoax. The League was created about eight years ago so there no way to tell. They only could be seen at major competitions such as the Pokémon League. The winner was brought before them. No one knew what happened afterward. Keygan was sparked with an idea. "Professor, please let me help you. I can train my Pokémon, compete in the league, win, and help stop this. Return our world to the way it was!"

"That is very brave of you, but…"

"But nothing! What else do I have to do besides walk around with a Pokémon I can train with the power to do something?!"

Professor Eden smiled at this girl. She was truly passionate about seeing the world as it once was. She dreamed of it too. Her own Pokémon wished to see the day again they could walk without judgement. He was cooped up in the lab area with no room to spread his wings. She smiled and nodded.

"I see and we appreciate what you'll be doing. It won't be easy." Eden advised.

"I know and I'm prepared for that." Keygan agreed.

Professor Eden walked back to the room. She remembered the partner said to be advised for Keygan. It didn't have a name, but a type with options. She technically was following the type, but the Pokémon she was getting wasn't on the list. It'd be her little secret. She picked up a Poké Ball and walked out. She had trouble with this one, but was sure Keygan's passion would come through.

"Here. Your starter…"

"What is it? Wait…I'm not a substandard, am I?" Keygan asked. It really didn't matter what Pokémon it was, but her level would probably make a blow in her confidence.

"No, you weren't," Eden replied truthfully. Keygan sighed in relief.

"You're actually part of the advanced level. A…Diana recommended you…" she said remembering the name.

"Really?"

"Yes, now here. I will warn you…it's a bit wild," she said giving the girl her starter.

Keygan grinned like Meowth as she accepted the Pokémon. She heard what Eden said about it being wild, but all Pokémon were at one point. She'd get through to this one too.

"Go!"

(AN: I thought about ending it here, but then it would mess up my guide so you're lucky I'm not that much of an asshole.)

The light appeared from the Poké Ball and a fire type appeared. It had reddish brown fur with darker paws and a cream underbelly. Had three curls on its head and six orange tails. The ears were pointed and at the moment one was twitching. If looks could kill.

Pokédex: Vulpix, a Fox Pokémon. Its six tails are extremely beautiful. As it evolves, it grows even more tails. Vulpix uses powerful flame attacks.

As the device explaining what she was said 'evolves' Vulpix growled deeper and more hateful. That was a dirty word in the Pokémon's book.

"Aw! A Vulpix!" Keygan squealed. It was adorable except when she realized how pissed it look. She heard a low growl. Despite how cute it was Keygan was worried it'd kill her.

"Vulpix, this is your trainer Keygan." Eden explained to the fox Pokémon.

"Vulpix!" the fox snapped. No, she wasn't happy. Humans could go off the edge of the planet or burn in the fiery pits for all she cared.

Keygan knew she couldn't ask for a different one, plus she didn't want to. She liked the fire fox from the moment she laid eyes on her. She knew they'd be a great team…eventually. She kneeled down and picked up the fox. The growl grew in sound and fox was now showing her teeth.

"Pix!" she cried as she released an Ember attack on the two. Keygan winced as it burned while Eden shrugged it off. It was nothing she was use to with her own fire type. Seeing as Keygan wasn't going to put her down Vulpix growled in her arms as she thought of her escape plan.

"Good luck Keygan and thank you for doing this for us. Keep in touch to tell me how you're doing," Eden said walking her out. Keygan thanked her and nodded before she walked away out of town.

The walk to the route was silent. Vulpix had a plan in motion to attempt to escape. If she escaped with her Poké Ball no one could capture her again or if she hid it or more like buried. She looked up at her 'trainer' to see her with a pondering look. What was she planning? Because she thought there was no way in this world or reverse world that she'd ever give her loyalty to a human. As they reached the route Keygan left Vulpix down on the ground. Vulpix growled again and prepared to attack her again.

"Don't even think about it," Keygan interrupted.

"Vul?" she questioned in a sassy matter. Now, who did this girl think she was, Arceus?

"I know what you're thinking…" Keygan started. Did she really? Did Keygan know Vulpix wanted to leave her burning in flames and use her back feet kick dirt on her charred clothes eventually leave her completely for the Spearow to peck at later. No, no she didn't. "You're think about stealing your Poké Ball and running for the hills after you attack me."

"Pix…"

Was she Arceus or at least a psychic? Vulpix gave the girl some credit for her intellect to figure out her plan so quick. She snapped back out of her thoughts to Keygan moving. She reached behind her and Vulpix got in stance ready to attack as growled. In Keygan's hand was her…Poké Ball. She shrunk the ball to a mini size and placed it in front of the fox. Vulpix was curious now.

"I don't want to force a Pokémon to obey me nor do I want one who won't listen and is plotting to kill me in my sleep." Vulpix grinned and snorted at that for a second. "It isn't right. I can tell you hate people and want freedom. I know how you feel. I'm an orphan with six other foster siblings. I wanted away from being reminded and needed a place to belong. I found it though Pokémon. I'm planning to set the world right and I need m partner to be on board. I have Poké Balls and I'll catch a new one. Vulpix, I respect you and you wish for freedom so I'm granting it. Here is your Poké Ball, take it and be free. Or you can stay with me. It's your choice and I will honor it."

Vulpix was shocked. She never had a choice. This girl…Keygan was giving her the choice to run and be free, forever. She thought why she wasn't taking this chance. It was perfect, but she couldn't step forward to take it. It was what she said. Freedom, about her, and setting everything straight. She knew more than humans believed a Pokémon would know. Perhaps she could help her and after that…Vulpix admitted she kind of respected her.

"Vulpix?"

"You're choice, take it or leave it."

Keygan turned toward the path going to Viridian City and walked. If Vulpix wanted to go with her then she would come on her own accord. As she walked she heard footsteps. She turned to see a Vulpix with a perturbed look on her face following her with a Poké Ball in her mouth. Keygan stopped and turned to face the fire fox.

"You're coming?"

"Vulpix…" she scoffed off as she sat the ball down and sat down.

"It won't be easy," Keygan said picking up the ball and placing it on her belt. She then started walking Vulpix walking a foot away beside her. She'd get to her eventually.

AN: And we're finished! Woo! This was really long…longer than I expected which is a good thing. I hope you'll leave me a review and add any suggestions. I love to hear from you!
