Okay, so I've kind of been working on this for a... while, or whatever. I had no intention on sharing it, but I was kind of pushed into it. You don't have to read it if you don't want to. Sorry I have like issues with sharing stuff like this I'm like blushing super hard right now I keep looking at that little X that will take me the frick out of here.

I thought I'd start off right here by mentioning that I most definitely don't own Pokemon or any of the shenanigans involving them. And this story shall be like my version of the events in Pokemon Black Version, and may/may not have themes like Checkmateshipping, Rebelshipping, Ferriswheelshipping and kinda sorta not really Chessshipping. Okay so now I'll start naming a few facts I've developed about the characters, they aren't exactly canon or anything I hope you don't mind.

Robin Hallows (Touko)- 5'8", slender body type, fast runner, long legs, really really blue eyes, wavy dark brown hair. When she was a little girl she got sick from a diseased Pokemon, her dad disappeared while he was traveling Unova trying to find a cure. She survived, but had developed a phobia against Pokemon since then. She was supposed to initially go on her Pokemon journey when she was twelve like everyone else, but her phobia prevented her from doing so, and now that she's seventeen she wants to get over her fear, and find out what really happened to her dad. She's got a little sister named Lisa (Mei in BW2) who goes to boarding school in Kanto, her cousin is Ruby (from Ruby and Sapphire) who's away at college. She's not nearly as confidant as other versions of this character, but takes great pride in her family name.

Cheren Toro- 6'0", her best friend, has a lot of enemies in school because has a tendency to back-sass his fellow classmates when they make fun of him for hanging out with two girls or his grades or his fashion sense. He's got an older brother, Victor, who bullied Cheren for his dream of being Pokemon Champion all through his childhood until he left for college, causing Cheren to suffer from low self esteem. He's also got a little sister who's significantly younger than him named Anissa. I'm thinking he's got some Spanish blood in him. It would be cute if he could speak Spanish to his grandparents, but he's ashamed of it. Holy hell that's adorable.

Bianca Juarez- 5'0", curvy, Robin's best friend. She's got a half brother Barry (from Diamond and Pearl) from her mom's previous marriage who primarily lives with his dad. She's got like a slight Tennessee accent she tries to hide. Has a bubbly personality and seems really naive, but is surprisingly wise in many ways.

Marcus "Mark" Reed (Touya)- Robin's ex-boyfriend. They went out for two years but broke up when he left for college, though they still maintain a close friendship. He's a year older than everyone else and his best friend is Ruby. Cheren doesn't like him very much.

Okay I think I got everything down about the super main characters. Sorry if you don't like all of the stuff I've come up with but ya know I spent a good long time thinking about it and I'm more than likely not going to change it.

Prologue

Okay, enough is enough.

Robin had applied for this Pokedex so long ago it felt like years had passed. She had signed every paper, fought every battle, and took every test they pushed at her. What was taking so long? Bianca had told her this would happen. "You shouldn't go alone," she had said. "You know how impatient you are." Believe it or not, Bianca and Cheren had come with her, they were just split up for separate interviews. What wouldn't she give to have her two best friends in that room with her now...

"Hey there!"

Robin yelped, grabbing her throat defensively as she spun around to greet the woman behind the voice. She was very tall, and very pretty, probably in her mid-thirties with very faint laugh-lines and cloud colored eyes, wearing a green dress-suit and a shockingly white lab-coat, her pale, sand colored hair pulled over her head in a classy up-do. She had actually come around a couple times earlier to offer her something to read, but left before Robin could complain to her.

Now, as she got closer, Robin noticed the Pokeball the woman had been turning between her fingers. She fought back a flinch, eyed it warily, and took a deep, calming breath. "Um, hi," she replied rather sheepishly, feeling foolish for having been so startled. "Is it time for the interview yet?"

"Of course," the woman replied with incredulous eyes, like the very thought that she was there for some other purpose was entirely inconceivable in their universe. "I'm Professor Juniper, or the 'Pokemon Professor', if you prefer. I'm who you'll be reporting to if you get picked for this particular mission." Robin's ears rang at the lingering "if" in the room. She frowned.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot your name," the professor apologized, coming around to sit at the small metal desk positioned across from the door, right next to what she suspected to be one-way glass. She motioned at the second chair as she began to thumb through the stack of Robin's test papers. Robin smiled, reaching her hand out to shake Juniper's. "I'm Robin Hallows."

"Oh, of course!" she paused, pressing her lips together thoughtfully. "You aren't, by any chance, related to Professor Thomas Hallows, are you?"

"Yes ma'am. He was my father," Robin answered proudly. The professor smiled a little, but her eyes were sad. "He was a good man, your father. You've got his spirit."

"Th- thank you." she glanced down at the stack of papers, but couldn't make sense of her messy handwriting while it was upside down. Did she really have his spirit? How did the professor know? "Does this mean I get the job?" she piped up, hopefully.

Professor Juniper chuckled, nodding. "Yes, I think so. Let's just finish up this paperwork so you can get home, shall we?" Robin's interview didn't last nearly as long as the wait for it had. She was asked about her ideals, her friends, her mom. Her cousin who's lived with them since he was fourteen, her little sister Lisa in Kanto, what she would and certifiably could do in an emergency situation. The professor mentioned somewhere that she had gone to college with her dad, but hadn't known his family lived in Nuvema when she was transferred here. The story fascinated Robin- she wanted to know what her dad was like before she knew him, but they were running out of time. Luckily, there would be plenty of other past colleagues to pester when this mission starts.

Finally, the questions ceased and she was freed from the stuffy metal room at long last. It nearly broke her heart how much she missed her best friend's familiar face again, no matter how mildly started it seemed when she had backed into him, or how suddenly uncomfortable she was once he turned his attention to her. "Oh, Ch- Cheren," she stammered, pretending to concentrate hard on that funny tuft of black hair that seemed to always stick up on his head no matter how hard anyone tries to pat it down.

"Hey Robin. Are you done? Can we leave now?"

"Yes," Robin sighed dramatically, waving towards the door in relief. "Let's get out of here. I've been here too long." She paused. "Where's Bianca?"

"Bathroom." He scratched the end of his sleeve as he nodded towards the ladies' restroom. "I can't imagine what she's been doing in there for the past twenty minutes, though."

Cheren is what is commonly known as a "nerdling", at least in the confines of their high school. He is lanky and very tall at a solid six-foot-zero, the perfect type of guy for her and Bianca to depend on their whole lives, but with his really good grades, his love to wear more conservative clothing, and his demeaning way of speaking to people sometimes... well, he was pretty deep in on the unpopular side and had a lot of enemies he had to deal with.

Robin joined him in leaning against the wall as they waited, immediately swallowing them in awkward silence just like she always did since Christmas last year; she sneaked a peek at her friend, but he wasn't doing anything interesting, only gazing at the floor through his frameless rectangle glasses, thinking to himself. She frowned: why did it bother her so much not to know what he's thinking about?

"Robin! I thought you'd never get out of there!" Bianca exclaimed, skipping out of the bathroom as her makeup and old receipts fell out of her bag in a trail behind her. Typical Bianca, small and curvy, is the opposite of Cheren. Her emotions are so loud, it's almost impossible not to know what's going on, but she constantly appears to be confused and completely clueless to anything and everything that goes on around her.

Robin sighed, coming to her friend's rescue.

It gets better, I pinky swear. I'm probably going to submit the next chapter tomorrow, though I'm more than positive nobody's going to actually read this... oh well, I don't care.
