Chapter one:

We begin, with a bang.

"…"

"… W-"

"How-…"

--

A chikorita made its way down the dirt path, a sign that read 'Leaving Sunset Ruins' plastered high and mighty on a boulder just to the right.

Her eyes seemed to glow with the urge for excitement, that special spring in her step almost immediately told pokemon she wasn't the one to mess with.

This here is Baily, the master of staring contests and best of all. The bravest go-getter of her family of six.

Baily sighed, her large unusually blue eyes criss-crossed from one cliff to the next surrounding her. She yearned to adventure, to travel, maybe even meet some new people.

"Why does mom have to be so protective?!"

She hissed under her breath, directing her under breathed hisses to a Meganium, who lived smack dab in the middle of Sunset Ruins. The home town of Baily's. Her moms real name was Aida, but Baily's little brothers and sisters just called her mom. She was known as the care-taker of the town, sort of like a… Daycare. She was oober protective though, never letting Baily venture farther than Rain Shard valley.

"I can't do anything!"

The small "town" of Sunset ruins was nestled high in the mountains, cliffs, rocks and mystery dungeons surrounding the flat piece of rock Baily called home.

Just outside of Sunset ruins was a large valley called Rain Shard valley, and /just/ beyond that was a nightmare. The largest cliff anyone around here had seen, called Nosedive cliff.

Nosedive cliff was the nightmare of all mothers, most kids that have gone there have been rumored to never return.

But that, that exact nightmare, was Baily's dream.

Now traveling quite close to the edges of the grassy valley, Baily kicked up a rock. Looking to the sky and seeing the ocean, another dream point in which Baily itched to go.

And there, just on the horizon of the monstrous amount of water, the reason why this town was called "Sunset Ruins". The sky was tinged with colors of magnificent design. Wisps of pink, red, orange, and even green, the sky's blue looking faint in the back round. Truly a once in a life time sight, unless you lived here.

Baily sat admiring the admirable sight, for the probably thousandth time. But each time was like a new picture painted in the sky.

Just then… Flames rained from the sky. Or really /a/ flame plummeted down threw the clouds.

"M-Meteor! Help! Rescue Teams! FIRE!"

Baily wailed, her limbs flailing and her eyes twice the size as normal.

After a quick panic attack or two Baily stopped, her chest heaving and her eyes blood shot. But she stared at the descending fire. As it came closer to the earth, she made out features. Uh… Rocks don't have features though, do they?

Rushing to the edge of the valley, Baily gazed at the figure. She made out a body, a tail and what made it most realistic. A flame.

"A Charmander… From the sky?"

Quickly Baily jumped, watching the limp charmander get closer and closer to Nosedive cliff, and slowly disappear behind the rock mounds.

"Oh dear."

She whispered, jumping over the same mounds and watching dust clear away from the bottom of the canyon, there lay the limp flaming pokemon.

Panicking Baily shouted,

"H-Hang on! I'm coming!"

She stuttered as her eyes shifted around the rock walls. Her Vine whip extending and grabbing onto near by rocks and made her way down.

After slips, cuts, bruises, and many shouts Baily finally made her way to the bottom. Rushing to the injured pokemon as quick as her stubby legs could carry her.

"Yo! Yoo-hoo you okay!"

She shouted to try and wake the character up.

"Eh… W-where am I…"

The fire lizard stirred. She blinked her large green eyes and looked around,

"Wait! Aren't you a pokemon!? A Chikorita!? Why the heck are you talking!? Why are my hands red!?"

The Charmander shot up, her limbs as well flailing as her tail swished dangerously close to Baily.

"Whoawhoawhoa! Hold it here BUB! You're pokemon too, what's the big deal? We all talk."

She said straitening and beginning to think this certain pokemon hit her head too hard when she came down.

Settling down, the charmander sat on the ground once more, just realizing the agonizing pain that was shooting threw her body at the time and the gruesome headache that pounded against her skull.

"Eh… Ugh."

She sighed falling back into the laying position, her eyes slightly closed.

"Mmmkay… Now that you are settled down. I think we should get you some help. But first, what's your name?

"Uh… Saphrona"

"Mkay Saphrona were do you come from and why did you fall from the sky?"

"Uh… Well…"

"Yes, yes please don't delay."

Baily shot out, lunging around to find certain plants and berries to help treat the injured Saphrona as she replied.

"Well… The thing is. I don't know why. All I can remember is my name, that I'm twelve years of age… and that I used to be a pokemon."

At that Baily dropped what she was doing, her jaw hanging loose.

"Heh… human you say?"

She almost snickered, picking up the ingredients and tending to Saphronas injuries.

"You have exactly /no/ idea?"

She questioned ripping the stem off of a berry and shoving it into the lizards mouth.

"Greh… mgulp. Yeah that's what I said…"

The gentle feminine voice of the fire types voice rang out as she winced in pain. She thought back a bit, all she could fully remember was leafs falling, the scent of flowers, and the stomach dropping feeling you get on a roller coaster. Then she ended up here in pain in the bottom of a canyon.

"Ah I see…"

Baily hummed as Saphrona finished explaining. Her moms quick fixing remedies helping the eldest child with this pokemons painful wounds.

"Now…"

She murmured looking up and down the cliff after finishing the last touches to Saphronas bandages.

"How do we get back…up."

"Up?"

"Yeah up, over the cliff, there is a small town called Sunset Ruins were I live. We can get you some more help there."

Baily nodded extending her vines and quickly climbing to a ledge,

"okay so Im going to reach down and pull you up from here, then ill go up higher and pull you up again kay?"

Saphrona nodded, unsure and gasped as slick cool vines were wrapped around her mid-waist. Pulling her higher until she was plopped down onto rock again.

The duo continued this process until it was almost dark and they lay, well Baily lay, panting on the edge.

"Okay…Now its just a short walk to Sunset ruins."

She gulped standing and helping Saphrona stand as well.

"So hold on and we will get you better help, and maybe the elders can give you some advise."

As the two began to walk Saphrona decided to question some more.

"So uh… Baily. You mentioned elders… Who are they?"

"oh well the three elders of the town. I mean there are /a lot/ of old pokemon waddling around the town but these three, they know almost /everything/. Or what we know as everything. I'm sure they've heard of something like this before. I mean a human turned pokemon…"

As the two continued towards the town, they began to know each other better. So after another half an hour walk they made it, to the hussle and bussle of the fear stricken town.

End of chapter one.
