A/N: Hey guys! It's been a while since I posted anything, but I feel confident in doing so. I've always had a long-extended OC story for the pokemon world, but never came up with a good way of presenting it. I always have this problem of discarding stories after I lose interest and after I clutter my mind will all sorts of other ideas, but considering I'm not doing much with my life right now, I decided to post this story. I think it's worth continuing, and I've reached a nice point where I can pause the story if I need to. Plus, lately I've been playing the pokemon games and playing out nuzlockes lately, so I guess I might as well start posting this story.

Anyways, this story is a combination of the games, the anime, and the Pokemon Adventures story. Think of this story as one of many alternate universes out there in the world of pokemon. Some parts will be used, other parts thrown out, and we'll just see how it goes. I personally like to keep true to any source material that I'm using, but then again if I stay solely strict to the materials I am using then parts of the story will become typical and expected. I hope this pokemon story is interesting enough, and if you guys like it please comment, so I know that at least someone out there is reading this story.

There's mentions of murder and violence, and a twist on the good/bad guy mentality of the pokemon world. This world I hope to portray will exhibit a lot of gray undertones, and if you're queasy to child abuse and death then stray away from this story. This is a story I began because of a 100 challenge, and if I decide to make multiple parts I'll probably reference another # in that challenge.

Ever since you were born you felt… different, strange, out of the ordinary.

People around you thought you were someone else, wanted you to act like other people. People they had lost and once loved, or hated and despised. But honestly, you were confused on who you really are.

You're one thing, but have to act another way. You are someone else, but need to be different than that.

What does that even mean?

You closed your eyes and sighed to yourself, slowly crawling out of your small bed to stare outside your window. For as long as you can remember, you longed to live in the woods. To sleep underneath the stars with pokemon, and watch the stars twinkling up high.

But… that's not how a human is supposed to live, apparently. Not a child, at least.

But during your short span of life, you've come across all sorts of strange and interesting people. People who act differently, talk differently from one another, and saw the world differently from each other.

Which made you realize that you didn't have to be the same as everyone else. Everyone is unique in their own way, and it's up to you to figure out who you are.

So in your small little bubble, looking out into the world, you stared up at the moonlight and sighed sadly. You felt as if your real self is within arm's reach, but who is that person?

Who is Viola?

Your own questions and worries keep you up at night, and not even the boogeyman can be the true reason for your fears. Do you have fears? You probably do, you certainly do…

You worry for your daddy, who you don't see all of the time. You worry about your mum, who worries for daddy all the time, whenever he's away.

And you worry about yourself. You worry about your friends and family, and yourself.

There's a lot out there in the world, and you wonder what is good and what is bad. What is healing, and what is destructive. You… want to uncover all of those secrets, even if it's scary. And is that a dream a child should have? Well… you do, for some reason that's your secret dream you want to fulfill.

To travel the world and discover its secrets. To be someone like a pokemon trainer, or even a ranger. To just… explore. Explore without any limits or bounds. No judgmental eyes upon you, as you let your curiosity truly take hold.

And if you die then you die, but you'd die doing something that makes you happy. Discovery, adventure. That's what you want, deep down…

But you're unable to go do that cause, well, you're just a kid, and kids cannot go out on adventures like that. Not without worrying their parents and other loved ones, and you love them all too much to go off on your own and leave everyone behind.
