Me: Hey guys! So I just thought of this story. It had been stored in my brain. Even before I made my first fanfic: Explorers in Love! I really hope enjoyed it… I really love IkariShipping and AdvanceShipping and all other shippings! Anyway, you guys may be bored by now… So… Let's start!

Chapter 1

A 15-year-old girl sprawled on her own bed with an upset face. She stared blankly at the ceiling. Her navy blue hair spread messily, "Ugh… Why can't I win?" She muttered to herself, "Why can't I pursue my dreams of being Top Coordinator? What did I do wrong?" Her voice began to sound a bit louder in a shaky tone, sounding like she was about to cry.

Unanswered questions came out of her mouth once more as if she was lip syncing to with the music she can only hear. She had never been this distressed before. Being a runner-up in the Kanto Grand Festival was great and all but… Why didn't she win?

She closed her eyes. "Hey Hikari… What's wrong, dear?" Upon hearing the familiar voice, she perked up, "Huh? Oh! It's nothing mom! No need to worry!" She masked her upset face with her usual happy face and did her signature phrase.

"Hikari. I know there's something bothering you. Tell me," Her shoulder-length haired mother asked her with concern.

She revealed her true feelings as the silence filled the air for a few minutes, "Oh mom! Why didn't I win?! What did I do wrong?! What made me lose the Grand Festival?! I'm such a bad coordinator!" She closed her eyes and embraced her mom hiding her face, "Oh dear… Being a runner-up isn't that bad… Tell you what, I'll make you lunch to help you feel better, okay?" She patted her back, trying to comfort her.

"Sniff… Okay mom," She stopped hugging her and rubbed her blood shot eyes, "Hikari, don't feel too bad about losing… I heard that there are Pokémon Contests in Unova already," She said, making her feel better, "Oh really?" She stopped her eye rubbing and stood up and had a confident smile, "Then I'm gonna go there and win the Unova Grand Festival!" "Now that's the spirit, Hikari!" her mom said, proud of her of being herself again, "Well let's eat! I'm pretty starving," she said as the mother and daughter abandoned the room and went downstairs to eat.

A young boy was strolling to a peaceful and windy town in Unova. He adjusted his thick spectacles and said, "What a day…" a brown Pokémon leapt through his shoulder, "Eievui," it imitated.

"Say Eievui… Let's book a room in the Pokémon Center… It's getting late," his navy blue hair swayed from side to side as the gentle breeze hit his face. He was glad that he has his own journey. He knew that he could win the Unova League, "Excuse me sir… Is there a Pokémon Center in this town" He asked a man politely, "Sorry… There is no Pokémon Center in this town," He explained, "Oh…"

Masato: Uh… Cubchuu? Are you okay?

Me: Uh… I'm scared…

Shinji: Losing confidence about being flamed? Pathetic.

Me: *pouts* *crying*

Hikari: Don't listen to Shinji… His Mr. Grumpy! Like I always said… No need to worry!

Me: *sniff* Thanks Hikari… Oh! And I hadn't include Shinji here… yet.

Shinji: I don't even wanna be in this anyway…

Me: Oh yes you will!

Hikari: Tell us what you think! Maybe you can help Cubchuu here to improve!
