-Somewhere near West Coast of Hoenn-

Finally, the truck started moving. Himiko was tired of being there, locked inside it, and having it to move meant they were finally arriving. It was a long trip from Mahogany Town, in Jotho, but just a few minutes ago she stopped crying. That day would be the day she would start to dream, but her mom had plans - and these plans needed them to move to a small town in Hoenn.
"It's not like she cares", Himiko thought, alone, while locked inside the moving truck. She refused to go by any other means, which meant Natsumi, her mother, just trapped her there, not letting Himiko escape.
Within the boredom inside of the moving truck, Himiko decided to take a look at herself. What she saw was a 17-year-old girl, with short, brown hair. There was no visible mirror in the truck, so she couldn't see her dark-green eyes, now reddish from the crying. She wasn't exactly a beautiful girl, but wasn't ugly either. Her personality, however, was the reason she didn't have a boyfriend so far.
A few minutes later, the truck finally stopped. After almost ten hours traveling, from Mahogany to Olivine, then taking the ferry to Petalburg, and finally arriving in Littleroot, without even drinking any water, she was finally free. Not that it would matter, in her thoughts.

-MaHogany Town, two days ago-

Himiko had started a new job, in the small souvenir shop. She was working there for less than a week. She was very curious about what were happening under her feet - she in fact knew a little about it. From what she heard in the small gaps of conversation from those guys, there must be a criminal hideout. Having only heard about Team Rocket, but at the same time knowing that their leader had disappeared some years ago, she couldn't imagine what was going on.
That is, until now.
There was the young, red-haired boy. From what he said to Himiko the day he went into there before, his name was Kamon. He just passed by her with a sad face, and then disappeared at the back of the shop. Being very curious, Himiko decided to follow him, and discovered that he left the trapdoor open. "That is the trick", she thought, while going down.
She couldn't go too far. After taking three steps forward, the alarm triggered, and almost instantly there were two grunts grabbing her arms and taking Himiko to what seemed to be a torture chamber.

-Littleroot Town, present time-
Himiko had a sad face while she went out of the truck. Natsumi was already waiting for her outside of their new house. "I hope you have learned your lesson. There is some packed dinner inside", she said, being sad herself for what she had done to her own daughter.
"I'm sorry, Mom, I guess it was fair enough for me". Himiko entered the new home, hungry, and quickly sat on the floor to eat some sandwich, while the movers unpacked the furniture and placed it where it should be. It only took half an hour, so by the time she had eaten and had showered, her room was ready for bed time.

-Somewhere in Hoenn's East Coast-

"Today, things will start to change." That masked man, seeming delightful, started the speech to what seemed to be less than a hundred people. They were mostly dressed in black robes, although a few of them were wearing common clothing instead.
"After more than a year of research, and some months building it, the Beta-ray Launcher near me is finally working. It would be so greedy of me if I said I managed to do this alone. All of you, more or less, have helped me. But there is someone here who deserves some special thanks. And I'd like to call him upstairs."
He called the name of a young boy. He was one of the few who wasn't wearing A black robe; his red t-shirt and jeans, along with the white hair, which seemed to be even brighter near all the people hiding their faces, fearing they would be recognized. He went onstage, and quickly grabbed the microphone.
"I'm very happy to be the one who made this idea possible. After all, I've made it my personal rules, and indeed it worked fine. I never thought it would be possible to make my own challenge cannon, but my god father here showed me how, and from what we all have done together, the Locke Machine is ready to start running, right now."
"Now, if you please, we should press the button to turn it on." The masked man said, again, to the young boy.
"I'd better give you the pleasure of doing so."
A few seconds later, the force field started to spread from the little island, and it reached the whole of Hoenn within a few minutes.
