The Sedra Region! A vast world filled with a little of something every region. Most of mysteries with Pokémon are coming clear, but Sedra still has many secrets to behold. Sedra is known for gathering the best of the best trainers, due to every gym leader being the same amount of strength. In this world, your type is said to determine battles. But every now and then, a few trainers can rise over all. Our journey begins here in Aisutaira, where Alice is about to have a rude wake up call.
The Snowy plain's blanket of snow shined brighter then the sun, as the new day had finally arrived. The room was dark, hiding all light coming in from the window from fuzzy pink curtains. Slowly Annabelle Noble opens the door, and the Glaceon on the bed awakes by the slightest noise from the door lock turning. She sneaks her way from the door to the curtains as the Glaceon groggily follows its master, wanting to rub against her leg and give a purr to say good morning.
Annabelle gives a second to prepare her daughter's reaction, until finally, she swings the curtains across, letting all light hit Alice in the face. Revealing the whole room for what is was. The walls pink, with posters of famous celebrities, and cute Pokémon. "Good morning Princess." She says energetically. Alice Squeezes Spheal and gives an obnoxious moan, trying to hide their faces into the covers. Annabelle picks up some dirty clothing, trying to keep the room as clean as Alice likes it, and gives a slight shake to Alice. Her response to shaking is yawning and saying, "I'm up, thank you," at the same time to her mother. Alice sits upright, and stretches her arms. Shaking her head to feel her auburn colored hair swing side to side. "Do you know what today is?" asks Alice. Spheal waddles out from under the covers, giving a slight, yet adorable, yawn. Then it replies to her with a quick "Spheal! Spheal Spheal!"
Alice Smiles, scooping up the baby Spheal and cuddling it. "Oh Spheal, your too cute for me. But you're right! It's my thirteenth birthday!" Alice answers as she puts him back down. Alice, in her pink tank top and dark pink fuzzy Pajama pants, heads to the mirror. To greet herself to another new day is her gray eyes, glomming within the sunlight. She does her hair, and light make up to last her through breakfast. Puts on her Pichu slippers, retrieves Spheal from the bed, and carries him down towards out of her room.
The rest of her second floor consisted of mainly, the guest room, the Bathroom, and her mother's room. Alice can see her father still sleeping, trying to block all the sun under the covers as she had tried earlier. Alice doesn't bother to wake her father, only whispers, "Good morning Daddy," and walks down the stairs. The stairs end up on a landing that turns for two smaller steps, and your then in the dining room. The room was a lot bigger than it really needed it to be. The ceiling was about ten feet from the floor, and the room was the largest in the house. Usually Alice forces her mother to have all her friends over for a dinner once a month. She sits down at the corner, where a baby's highchair is waiting for Spheal.
Glaceon passes by Alice as she puts down Spheal gently. "Why hello there Glaceon! Where's Momma! Wanna find Momma for me?" she asks. Glaceon gives a slight yawn, and gives a pause. Alice knows instinctively to pet her first. Glaceon does anything if you pet her first. Glaceon then gracefully makes a complete 180 degree spin without flaw, and continues to walk back to the kitchen. Alice could have figured, considering she could smell the cake baking, and Scrambled eggs with a mess of papers and onions being all mixed together.
Alice took a big whiff of her breakfast, as she kisses her mother's cheek. "Good morning Mommy, how are you feeling today?" She asks. Annabelle, with her brown hair in a long ponytail, returns Alice's kiss with a smile and responses, "Good morning princess. I'm good this morning of your birthday. I'm making your favorite breakfast, and will pick up your gift this afternoon. Should we have a party tomorrow?"
"Yes we should! We should have a big dinner like we do every month, only with a huge birthday cake, and ill even count this as the monthly dinner, just for you, mom."
"You humble me darling. You really do, I just can never do enough for you," Annabelle replies with a slight giggle that Alice joins in on. "Now get back to the table if you want your food!" demands Annabelle. Alice hurries back excitedly for her breakfast. She pats Spheal to let it know it's time to stop nibbling at the highchair. Spheal just stops moving completely half biting the highchair table, and gives a small cute look to Alice, as if say, "Do I have to? I'm too cute remember?" Alice just pats her again, and she stops biting and sits upright.
Alice's mother reappears with a plate in one hand, and a small dish of Poke food. She places the Poke food down first, slightly rubbing Spheal's head, and then places Alice's plate down. The plate held an omelet with all different types of peppers sticking out. Spheal instantly puts if face into the food, trying its best to chew with so few teeth. Alice slowly and politely eats in silence. After breakfast, Alice leaves cleanup to her mother, gets dress in a skirt and cot, grabbing her bag and favorite hat. The hat had wolf ears at the top and covering her ears and was the color of a silver-gray, to match her eyes. After finishing all of her makeup, putting on her boots, and cleaning Spheal up, she headed out the door with Spheal in arms.
The morning was basically done with, thanks to her mother letting her sleep in, and then breakfast. She figured she would walk around town, to see how many people would say happy birthday to her. When she entered the town square, she had already received about fifty people saying happy birthday to her. But in the center of the square there was a small crowd, trying to great a new traveler. He wore a full black suite, with matching overcoat and top hat. The top hate blocked most of his face; the only thing visible was his mouth and beard, and his big bushy beard. There were already rumors around saying he was a Pokémon champion in another region. Alice ignored him and the crowd, walking away, jealous of the lost attention.
She decided to make up her bit of upset to visit the town professor. They said he was very strange and only worked alone on the outskirts of town, but that he was a completely genius, and nutcase. But Alice knew him on a more personal level, considering he was her godfather and all. They knew each other quite well. It's all thanks to him her mother was given an Eevee that soon evolved into a Glaceon. "Wanna go see the professor with me?" asks Alice to Spheal. Spheal responds with its usual exited voice only saying, "Spheal, Spheal, Spheal!" Alice takes that answer as a yes as she continues done the street until she finds a carriage, mounted with a Dodrio, parked at the sidewalk.
She says hello to the driver, then asks for a free ride since it's her birthday. He allows it, and takes her to the town's Lab. She thanks the man for the ride, and continues to the door. Alice knocks three times in a funky rhythm and the door opens. She sneaks in awaking to surprise her godfather. The main lodge room was empty as usual. With the reception desk, who is usually her dad, who is absent for the day. She makes a left and follows the hall way until she finds the Eevee lab. She opens the door to see her perfectly gelled godfather's hair hovering over a small examination table. She purposefully slams the door, and he turns slowly. The knife in his hand now being seen, he says with a menacing voice, "I FINALLY FIGURE D OUT HOW TO MAKE THE GHOST TYPE EEVEE!" Alice shrieks and the knife is dropped.
The professor's face comes back to reality, as he lets the Eevee get off the examination table, and escape out the window. Alice slaps her godfather across the face and screams in horror. He gives her apologetic look as hugs her and wishing her a happy birthday. "Aw come on, forgive me already. You know how important this is to me and the whole world." Alice just faces the door, trying to leave. "I got it! I know what would cheer you up. How about your very own Pokémon, to start your journey? You are thirteen today after all!" he says. Alice faces brightens and she turns. "Really? I won't be traveling but I would love to have my own Pokémon for once!" she answers.
She knew that her mother would never get one, that's why both the Spheal and Glaceon belong to her mother only. So this was a good way to start. He goes behind him and uncovers a giant machine have three pokéballs on a spinning platform. Alice, when turning a pokéball to face her, would be told by the machine what Pokémon that was inside. The first option is a Treecko, next is Totodile, and finally is Charmander. To her she instantly wanted to choose the cutest, but when she looked at the little screen under the platform to see what they look like, she was having a big problem. All of the starters were cute! She couldn't decide, as she is just spinning the platform out of discomfort.
In a deep focus, she ignores the two boys who are found wrestling, as they roll into the professor's lab uninvited. They jump to their feet, and then see the three pokéballs. Alice finally decides on Charmander when each boy grabs one, and they run out of the room complaining about who will win their battle to be had. Alice's jaw drops to the floor as they storm off, and her Godfather only laughs at her misfortune. All that was left was the Treecko. She picks it up resentfully, as she tosses it out. The Treecko doesn't come out the lime green color it usually does. Out comes a light blue Treecko. Alice nearly jumps back from this unexpected situation and looks towards her Godfather being the fact that he is a professor and all. He calmly looks at it, and tosses a small twig for it. "Some Pokémon are born a special color, different from others. Their abilities don't change, but it is very rare to see one in a life time.
These Treecko migrate north because of the territory being on their side with their color." he answers. He hands her a map and tells her of his life when it was a Pokémon trainer. He recommends she tells her mother before leaving, but that she should consider not being a princess anymore. He kisses her cheek and slams the door to the lab after shoving her out, leaving her outside with a Treecko at her side and Spheal scared of it. Alice kneels down next to it, and puts her hand out to shake his. Treecko slowly moves his arms from being crossed to shaking her hand. She smiles and he returns back into his tough guy pose. Looking at the map, Alice notices a strange symbol by her home town, Aisutaira.
Then remembers that its home of the famous Dragon/Ice gym leader Evan. Since the gym and the lab are on the outskirts of the town she can walk towards it within fifteen minutes. When she gets there, she returns Treecko, planning to make a grand entrance, but stops once she finds him facing another trainer. Her hair is black with red streaks and she wore silver goggles. Alice only let herself have her head in, to not interrupt the battle that's about to begin.
