Prologue-Reunion
Okay, so I've decided to try a new style of writing, starting in chapter one, that switches between the past and the present. Tell me how it goes, please.
______________________________________________________________________
Alex Miyuki was back in Sinnoh after traveling the world. At sixteen, she'd challenged every gym leader, beaten every league champion, and even some of the frontier brains. It wouldn't be over-exaggerating to call her the best trainer out there.
So, why was she on her last Pokémon against this random trainer?
______________________________________________________________________
"How am I losing?" she whisper-yelled as she took out her last pokeball, a frantic look in her silver eyes. Alex looked down at the red and white sphere, and regained some of her confidence. "Go, Magmortar," she yelled.
Her opponent, a blondish boy around her age, threw out a pokeball of his own, that formed into a yellow and black Pokémon called Electivire. He smirked as he said, "ladies first. Or do you want to give up now?"
"Magmortar, flamethrower!" she ordered, and a column of fire was sent straight at the Electivire.
"Use charge beam on the attack," hollered the blonde.
As the two attacks collided, there was a huge explosion, and lots of smoke. Both Alex and her opponent waited for what seemed like hours until it cleared and they could see their Pokémon again.
Magmortar looks tired, maybe I should give up. "Magmortar, you okay to fight?" she called. Her Pokémon looked at her and yelled, indicating that it did, in fact want to fight. "Okay," she smiled, "use Hyper Beam!"
"Electivire, Giga Impact!"
There was another brutal wait as the two attacks collided. Once the smoke cleared, yet again, the two Pokémon were fainted in the middle of the battlefield.
"You were great, Electivire. Return," he said, looking down at his pokeball.
"Good job, Magmortar. Return," she sighed, doing the same. Alex was about to put the pokeball back in her bag when she felt a firm hand on her shoulder.
"You were great too, Lexie," he smiled, looking down at her with hazel eyes.
Wait, Lexie? But there are only three people that call me that- mom, dad, and—
"—Landon!" she squealed, hugging him, "is it actually you?"
The boy now known as Landon hugged her back, laughing. "Of course it's me, Lex. Your Magby's gotten a lot stronger."
"Arceus, Landon! I missed you so much!"
His hazel eyes sparkled as he replied, "I missed you too, Lexie. I missed you too."

So, wait. Who's this Landon guy that Alex missed so much? Her boyfriend, perhaps? Haha. You'll have to wait and see, I guess.
You might be wondering why I'm writing about OC's all of a sudden. There are three reasons. 1. Its good practice. 2. I've been seeing a lot of these around and wanted to try it out and 3. To let you know that I'm not dead. My other story, My Best Friend and My Idol, is currently on hold. I had up to chapter seven written up, but then my Microsoft Word died. So now I have to rewrite everything, and I'm suffering a major case of writer's block. I guess that's my fourth reason, really, to get rid of my writer's block. It's working, as you can see, because I'm ranting endlessly. Haha.
One more thing before I end this rant, though. I need some OC's for my other characters. I'll need some that are present time and some for the flashbacks I plan to use. If that doesn't really make sense, I'm sorry. If this helps, though, this is my OC form.
Name:
Age: (Alex and Landon are 16 in present time and 5-12 in past time. That should be a guideline if you want to create their friends.)
Gender:
Relation: (Are they rivals? Family? Friends?)
Appearance:
Personality: (please include relation to Alex/Landon. Are they friends? Rivals? Family? Also whether they're trainers, breeders, coordinators, or something else.)
Pokémon: ( No legendaries, please. )
I'll write a new chapter as soon as I have some OCs to fill it with.
Anyways, I don't own Pokémon, and I never will, so don't sue.
