Author's Note: This is my first official story, I've had put on here on I have written before, but my last story I wrote, I only posted on a Forum website fanfiction area. Updates will be scarce, as I write this as I have time. I accept reviews, but I won't accept flames. Anyways, Enjoy.
Long ago in the city of Bevelle, a girl of 18 lived with a close friend, whom was named Baralai. Her name was Kassie. She and Baralai had grown up together, from the time they were born, being close neighbors, and even closer friends. Although she was a girl, Baralai was never affected by the teasing by other boys about hanging around her, and preferred her company to many of the local boys, as she would always listen to his dreams, and never throw his ideas out. She would help him expand his dreams, and was determined to help make them a reality. Baralai's latest dream was to join the new group, the Crimson Squad. He had tried to get it so that Kassie could join him on this grand adventure, but women were not allowed to join except as recorders. While the idea of being a recorder for the Crimson Squad was interesting, Kassie was too adventurous at heart to really resort to that sort of task.
Baralai was set to leave in one week, and wished to spend what little time he had left in Bevelle with Kassie, but that was never to happen. While Kassie was doing a few chores outside, she was sucked through a wormhole that had opened up near her, and was thrust into a brand new world, full of strange creatures, called Pokemon. When Baralai found out she had disappeared, he was hurt, but in his heart, he knew that he had to go and become apart of the squad. He would do it for Kassie, following his dreams, as she had always encouraged him to do. He was determined however, to find her, after the squad training was finished, using the knowledge he would gain. Kassie at the same time, was learning about the creatures called Pokemon, and trained with a team all of her own, to become stronger, hoping to one day return to her home of Bevelle and show the creatures she had discovered to her friend. Because of how the Crimson squad turned out, Baralai was not able to look for his friend, as he was in a constant struggle for his own life Eventually he became Praetor of New Yevon, and because he was so busy, and overworked, he eventually forgot about the friend he had once had, and in turn lived a life of loneliness, constantly doing paperwork, and such, keeping New Yevon under control, lest it become like before, and fights begin anew.
Kassie, in three years, had become quite the trainer, using mostly an Eeveelution team. She was out training with her pokemon, outside Celadon City, when like three year's ago, another wormhole opened, and she was flung back into Spira. She emerged, ironically enough, in the very office that Baralai was in, landing on top of him. Baralai didn't even have the chance to say anything, before she landed on him, and was knocked out from the impact. And that is where this story begins.
