GAH! I don't even know why I write these, but I have a NEED for it. It's all crammed in my mind, and if I don't do it, these will trouble me
Summary: (Mind me, I suck at them.) Masami, a coordinator, has come back to Sinnoh, her home region, and decided to travel around Sinnoh for the contests. But as she reunites with Satoshi, Takeshi, and her old friend Hikari, another comes. And it's no one but Shinji! How would she cope with her memories with the boy, and how would she react?
Basically, it's rewrites of the D/P episodes, usually revolving Shinji, contests, and some flashbacks. And there is NO ship here but Ikari, Coma (slight), and a VERY, VERY major Shinji x Masami.
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon, or anything that belongs to Nintendo. However, I own my OC, Masami, and the LITTLE relationship…

Prologue: Before the Journeys…
------
"I'm home!" a blonde female shouted. She dropped her bag.
The phone rang. The girl picked up the phone from the video phone and pressed the "receive" button. It was an old man with white spiky hair, a rather appealing moustache (to the trainer, of course) and a black lab coat.
"Oh! Hello, Professor Rowan (1)! It's a long time!" The girl threw down her keys on the coffee table, clutching the phone and waiting for said professor's reply.
"O-Oh! Why, Masami, you're home!" Rowan chuckled like a young boy. Masami was his favourite student. He always reacted like that when they were talking. "I was just trying to call you when I heard you won the Grand Festival, and I never expected you to be home so soon!"
"Oh, that. Well, I have my own ways of coming home. Besides, my friends said Sinnoh was launching contests again, so I came back to get my backpack reorganized, and I'll be going!" Masami ended her response with a smile.
Professor Rowan chuckled again. "That is to be expected from my favourite student. Hm… Why don't you come to my lab after you've settled? I have something to give you."
Masami nodded. She was excited to see the professor again, and she wanted to see Yūzō (2), one of Rowan's lab assistant, again.
"Well. I'll see you. Goodbye, Masami." With that settled, Rowan hung up the phone.
------
Masami moaned. "Oh CRAP…"
She was stuck in Hearthome City, her hometown. Apparently, she had just left her house, and a whole group of fans surrounded her immediately.
"Oh my gosh! It's Masami-sama!"
"Ask her for an autograph!"
"Masami-sama, what are your feelings to winning the Grand Festival twice, in Hoenn and in Kanto?"
"You beat Saori and Haruka in just a whir during the Kanto Grand Festival! How do you feel about your success?"
"Do you-"
"I have NOTHING to say. Sorry to disappoint you." Masami turned away and walked towards the exit nearest to Mt. Coronet. The fans just stared at her in awe.
"Ah, Masami-sama is her hero…" Masami merely grunted. She loathed fans in every way.
------
"I'm sorry, Professor! I was severely blocked by fans…" Masami walked into the Sandgem Town lab, only to see a big, big mess. Books and papers lay around the floor, and the topmost window was severely broken. Yūzō, one of the lab assistants, greeted the girl with extreme excitement.
"Oh, hello, Masami…" Yūzō nodded. "Professor Rowan is in the innermost room; er… go through in that hallway!" After pointing to the hallway in front of both of them, he turned to his other lab mates and yelled, "Hurry up! If another trainer were to come in, we would be in big trouble!"
Masami sweat dropped. Then, she followed the lab assistant's words and passed through the hallway, looking around as she did so. She saw a Staraptor (4) and a Starly talking through Pokemon language, a Bidoof eating Pokemon food that is shaped like balls, and finally she arrived to the "innermost room", as Yūzō was referring to.
Professor Rowan was sitting on a couch, reading a book Masami hated: Math. In her childhood memories, she always failed Math, and since that, she loathed that subject.
"Er… Sir Rowan? I'm here." She waved nervously, noticing the time she had wasted.
Rowan looked up. "Oh, it's Masami. I was just thinking of you. Being glomped around by fans, I suppose?"
Masami sweat dropped. She hated fans, and had no interest of remembering them again. "Y-yeah. So why did you want me?"
Rowan grinned. He tossed out a Pokeball.
A green turtle Pokemon emerged from the Pokeball. It hopped up and tried to chomp Masami, who yelped in great alarm and backed up, causing the Pokemon to topple over and fall onto the ground.
Rowan chuckled. "That Pokemon warmed up to you already. What about you scan your Pokedex and see what it is?"
Though Masami already knew what it was, she pulled out her pink Pokedex and scanned the Pokemon in front of her. "Turtwig, the Tiny Leaf Pokemon." Dexter, her Pokedex, read. "Made from soil, the shell on its back hardens when it drinks water." (3)
Masami stared at awe at the grass Pokemon. "So… you mean… I can have this?"
Professor Rowan nodded.
"Wow, Professor, thanks!" Masami cheered. Then she turned solemn. "But what about the other trainers? Do they have a Pokemon?"
"Well," Professor Rowan folded his arms. "One just came and took a Piplup." Then he perked up. "Wait a second, you know that girl! She went to the same school as you!"
"Oh! Who is it?"
"She's called Hikari. She helped us retrieve Chimchar and Piplup from the forests, and she took a Piplup as her starter Pokemon."
Masami smiled to herself. 'So she's starting her journey now… I wonder how she is doing.' She bowed to Professor Rowan. "Thanks for the Turtwig, sir! I'll take it!" She took the Pokeball from Rowan's hand and returned Turtwig to its Pokeball. She put it in her pocket and started walking towards the exit.
"Wait, girl! There's this boy who told me he knows you…" Professor Rowan cuffed his hand around his chin, thinking as he did so. "Hm… He's going a blue jacket and-!"
Masami stopped in her tracks. She tensed up at his description. Surely he didn't mean that! "Professor, I get it." She continued her walk, but stopped at the exit. "Oh yeah," She turned to Rowan, faking a smile. "If anyone I know, like the boy you spoke of, and other people like Hikari or a boy with a red cap named Satoshi and his friend Takeshi, please don't tell them anything about me. I want it to be a surprise."
Professor Rowan nodded. "Well, I'll see you, girl!" He waved at Masami.
Masami waved back to him nervously, and then walked out of the room. As she was going, she pulled out a white object. 'Why do I have to see him again? Just when I was going to forget him!' She tightened her grip on the object.
'Shinji…'

Well, how do you feel? Things are getting serious here, so don't flame me and say that this story is boring, blah blah blah. Oh, and some notes-:
I didn't use Professor Rowan's Japanese name because it was too long, and not to mention a waste of space. Sorry~~~
(2) This was written before Yūzō's English name was announced. Even if it WAS announced, I wouldn't do anything. I'm lazy. Booyah!
(3) This Pokedex info was ripped from the Diamond Pokedex info. I also checked it from the raw version of the anime. It matched quite well, so don't go all crazy on me, I was following what I believe.
(4) I will only use the Japanese names for MOST people and places, but since Japanese Pokemon names are too troublesome, I decided to just go on with the English ones. Besides, I don't need to update it when I suddenly use the English names. I A-M L-A-Z-Y.
The beginning part happened during Satoshi's and Haruka's contest, the fan event happened during Satoshi's ferry trip, while the lab event happened after Hikari was done with the Chimchar and Piplup rescue event.
Relax; the real things are starting in the next chapter, so stay tuned!
Shinji: Yeah, RIGHT.
Hana: What is WRONG with you? Why do you contradict to what I say EVERY TIME? Do you know that is very wrong? I'm the author, mind you!
Shinji: Yeah, yeah, yeah. So why did you decide to post this up? You could just go straight to the first chapter, and get this "real thing" started.
Hana: You just want to see Masami, do you? –Pokes Shinji-
Shinji: Of course not, idiot. –Perks up- But wait, aren't you two the same person?
Hana: -blushes- No! We are not the same! We have different names, different personalities, and-!
Shinji: You know, one of them is just made-up. So you both are the S-A-M-E!
Hana: Grr… I know! -Typing in computer- Shinji and Hikari are stuck in a Pokemon Center and can't help but think of each other in CERTAIN WAYS…
Shinji: Darn you, idiot! Stop doing that!
Hana: Well, Shinji, are we different?
Shinji: Fine, yes… (Darn it, I was just getting the upper hand!)
Well, see you next time! …Oi, Shinji, give me my slice of pizza back! GET BACK HERE!!!
