AN: How much I hate to write these author's notes, I feel like one is necessary at the start of our story. Because I have some announcements to make. Starting with the obvious: All the characters and the Pokemon-franchise belong to Nintendo/Gamefreak and not to Smeenilicious. Good riddance no. Also, obvious spoilers are obvious. The second one: I'm a slow writer, so please keep that in mind. Third one, and the most important one, I love to abuse my creative freedom, and so I can say that some characters can and will be OOC at one point. Also, it is highly possible that the storyline of the latest games will be mixed up with the storyline with the series AND some of the movies. With highly possible, I mean, I already planned it. If this all is ok for you, you are ready to proceed to the actual story. Thank you for your time, and enjoy. And leave a review on your way out.

"Can you hear that, my friend? It's the sound of the rain clashing with the ground… It sounds a bit like a sad song." A green haired male watched the rain fall from the dry safety of an umbrella. The enormous Pokemon next to him looked at the same direction as the male's green eyes. A vague, vacant smile formed around his lips as the male obviously sank into his memory world. "It makes me remember and rethink..." , he mused, gazing into what only he could see. His Pokemon-friend gave him a nudge and the male let out a sigh. "Yes, what has come can't really be changed, but you can't help but dream about it.", he told his friend. "But don't you worry, I won't let it get to my head." The nudging stopped, and the sun broke through the clouds. Nature decided it was time for some colour, instead of gray.

"...and so, I have decided to travel to Kanto.", Touko finished her long explanation to her two friends. She played nervously with her bangs, knowing the reaction of at least one of them. "!", Bianca immediately started, causing Cheren to sigh out from frustration and Touko telling herself she guessed right. "I'll be back soon Bianca.", she tried to assure her friend. "In fact, I'll be back before you know it! I just feel the need to travel..." She pulled a goofy smile, which seemed to ease Bianca. "We understand, Touko.", Cheren stated. "We'll call you if anything comes up here. But don't worry, enjoy yourself." Touko smiled gently at him. "Thank you Cheren. I hope you will not call me." Bianca huffed, crossing her arms in a childlike manner and pouted visibly. "Nothing happens around here anymore...", she stated, annoyed. "You should be happy, Bianca! No-one to steal your Pokemon or hurt your friends.", Cheren told her. Touko nodded, but secretly disagreed. She missed the adventure, just like Bianca did. Her two friends where still bickering, and she decided to keep out. Until Bianca got a hold of her. Quite literally. "But Touko, you told me we would go ride the Ferris wheel!" Touko patted her blonde friend as if it was her little sister. "We'll do that when I get back. I promise." Bianca was still pouting, but apparently was satisfied with the answer. So Touko was happy and relieved. The Ferris wheel wasn't as interesting nowadays... Not anymore.

Giovanni grinned as he looked at his visitor. "My, I would never think that you would show up here, my dearest friend." The other male, who had been lead into his office, looked seemingly annoyed at the whole situation. "We failed. It was a big failure, the whole plan.", he stated, angry and frustrated. Giovanni nodded understandingly. "It seems you'll need a different plan then. Good thing I was just looking for someone from your region of work." His eyes sparkled when he saw the sudden interest coming from his friend. "I have heard stories, rumours, about Castelia City.", Giovanni started. Slowly, to keep the interest. "It seems Castelia has a hidden hero. A mysterious cloaked figure roaming the streets and protecting the city from harm. Have you ever heard of that?" His friend thought for a moment, before answering. "Yes, I have. The Castelian Superhero. I heard stories about him." Giovanni nodded. "I see. Our insiders, however, have reported that it is not a hero, nor a human...", he said calmly, causing his friend to realise the facts quite quickly. "It's a Pokemon then?", he asked carefully. And Giovanni smiled. "Yes. and it should be very powerful if it's capable of playing hero."
