Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon! Although, that would be pretty freaking cool. I do not own any of the OC's submitted (who's names I shall list here when they come) or FlyPandaBear's OC, Jamie Briant.

Claimer: The plot of this story (though Panda helped me with that, :D thank you) and Faina Briant.

I decided this on a whim, since my other running story has billions of pre-written chapters xD It will be the first persons point of view, switching between the two twins Faina and Jamie Briant. The number of OC's that maybe be submitted will be kept on a counter in the summary.

This is a collab with FlyPandaBear, though it will only be published on my profile.

Updates every weekend unless things are complicated, etc.

Now, go on and read! I apologize for this horrendously long note!

1. Keep Calm & Train On!

H-H-hello, my name is Faina Briant.

I am fourteen years old, and I have a twin, Jamie Briant. I have naturally curly and red hair, green eyes, pale skin, and freckles all across my face. I tend to be a little too shy, though I'll fight for friends and family to the teeth if I have too.

I was born and raised in Viridian City, a short ways from Professor Oak, our Kanto Region's very famous Pokemon Researcher. Whenever I've met him, I've seen his wisdom, and his excitement about talking about Pokemon. In fact, he's who inspired me to want to be a Trainer, I'm not sure who inspired Jamie though. . .

All I know, is that my parents were too scared to let us go when we were ten, so we had to wait a little longer than other kids. I don't mind, I understand my parents just didn't want us to travel in a world of wild monsters and a criminal organization like Team Rocket.

Finally though, today was the day.

Jamie and I were all geared up and read to go. Jamie, with her messy black hair and brown eyes, black framed glasses, and curves wore her usual red sweater that opened to show a black short sleeved shirt, and her black knuckle gloves at her hands, with white cargos, and white sneakers, she had her backpack with other things she needed over her shoulder.

I grabbed my bag too, though I took a second to adjust myself in the mirror so that I didn't head to the laboratory in Pallet Town looking like death warmed over. I'd been so excited the night before, I couldn't sleep, so I had naturally assumed that that's what I would look like.

I wore my grey beanie over my red hair, with my "Keep Calm and Kill Zombies" tee, grey skinny jeans, black gloves like my sisters, and black converse. I gave my own reflection a slight smile and flounced off to walk out of the house with my sister. My parents, Chelsea (my mom, who I looked like) and Dexter Briant (my dad, who Jamie looked like) walked me and my sister to the city limits, which lead to a small little meadow with the occasional tree now and then.

I could barely managed to make out the tips of houses in Pallet Town, I was so excited I swore I was going to throw up!

"Now Faina, Jamie." Mom began, squirting us with Pokemon repellant and making us sneeze and gross out when it got in our mouths, "You are not to cause any trouble. You are to see us before you leave for your journey, and you are not to flirt with boys."

Jamie snorted, though she smiled good naturedly, "You won't have to worry about that from me mom, although, I'm not sure about Faina. . ."

My face brightened like a tomato, "I don't like boys!" Our father and mother laughed at our usual banter, and embraced us tightly, nearly knocking the air out of us. "We are going to miss you, and we are so proud of you!" they cried.

"We'll be seeing you again soon, remember?"

"I. . . can't. . . breath!"

Our parents let us go, and exchanged one tearful glance before they finally sent us off. Though we'd only see them in about thirty minutes, the walk was short and Professor Oak wasn't known to ramble. Our parents were just known for being overly emotional, even over the little things.

"Silly mom and dad." Jamie snorted, kicking at a rock and scaring away some Pidgey into a flying frenzy and Rattata scrambling away and squeaking like mad. "They always make a big deal over everything." I nodded but smiled, "Well its their job, it'd be kind of sad if they didn't care this much."

Jamie nodded in agreement and we laughed, but that quickly died on our mouths as soon as we stopped treaded green grass bushels and entered Pallet Town. The seriousness set in, as well as the excitement. Pallet Town was quaint, what with only a few scattered houses, the Research lab a giant beacon, guiding us to our future.

As geeky as that sounds!

"Well, this is it." Jamie and I said in unison, holding hands and treading carefully into the center of town, through it, and towards the cream colored stoned building. We pushed open the green double doors and were greeted with several men and women in white lab coats flipping through books, typing on computers, and rushing back and forth with boxes.

Through the clamor, we couldn't seem to spot Professor Oak. "Professor Oak! We're here to get our Starters!" Jamie called out, tapping her foot patiently for the graying haired man to make his way through the cloud of busy people. Then she scratched the back of her head, "Erm, I don't think he heard me, or is he not here?"

I checked the wall clock, 9:00 A.M., that was the time he had told us to come. "He has to be, he's Professor Oak and he said to come around at this time!" I sighed in exasperation, my excitement throwing me through a stressed out loop, I just wanted to go on an adventure! Is that too much to ask?

Jamie called out again for good measure, "Professor Oak!"

Nothing, just a few annoyed scientists shooting us glares.

"PROFESSOR OAK!"

All of them stopped at my sudden outburst, and I blushed profusely. Did I mention I have a very explosive temper? Yeah. . . Did I also mention I am too shy for my own good? Oh wait I did. . . Oh well.

Now you know.

"Hahahaha, good to see you girls! Come this way." a tall, middle aged man with gray hair, a long white lab coat, and a red polo with some tan slacks, led us to this table at the back of the room, all the while smiling and chuckling at my expense. Professor Oak was as good natured and easy to approach as always, I eased up and let myself relax, though I still waited with baited breath for the grand choosing.

"Forgive me Faina. I've never seen you so bold." Prof. Oak smiled, bringing out three Pokeballs and setting them on the table. I blushed a little bit more, "I'm just very excited."

"I can hardly blame you, I was too."

"Now," he began, gesturing to each Pokeball accordingly, "This is the grass type, Bulbasaur (pointing to the left), this is the water type, Squirtle (points to middle), and this is the fire type, Charmander (points to the one on the right.)"

"You have a choice between any of these three Pokemon."

Jamie chewed her lip, "Which one is a girl?"

Oak rose an eyebrow, "Oh, Charmander is a girl. That's the only one though. . ."

"I'll take her!" my twin exclaimed eagerly, taking the ball with pride and a twinkle in her eyes, Oak laughed a bit, a little uneasily, and then turned to me.

"Which one would you like Faina."

I tapped my chin a little bit, and reached for Bulbasaur. I wasn't sure if it was my eternal wanting to be separated from Jamie that made me grab him, or the cute picture of a dinosaur I had in my head because of the end of his name.

"Alright! I'll need your pictures for your Trainer I.D.'s, and then I will give you a Pokedex!" Oak proclaimed happily, and Jamie and I smiled at each other, but then turned we turned out red and white stripped Pokeballs in our hands. We were going to be Trainers.

Yeahhhhhhh!

Thus, the two girl's beginning eh hem. . . Began. I, your faithful narrator, will play back their previous adventures in the stories yet to come. They will meet friends, enemies, and achieve their dreams. Yada yada yada, heartfelt speech.

Until next time on: Keep Calm & Train On!
