My name is Hugh Rainbow. I'm fifteen years old. Up until today, I've lived a relatively normal life. My best friend Nate and I have lived in fairly stable peace in our home town. My precious little sister adores me. Mama and Papa support my ambitions.

Everything was going according to plan. That is, of course, until Celebi decided she needed to 'help' me.

I remember that day particularly well. Why? It's the day I met Dawn Rowan.

I should tell you how all this went down, right? Right.

It was your average morning. I was on my way to go chill with Nate because he was my absolute bro-still is, actually. We are basically the coolest dudes in Aspertia City, so we always hang out here. Cheren might be more popular, but he is by no means cooler. He's kind of a blushy-dweeby thing. He has cool friends, though.

"Yo, Hugh!"

That was Nate. He's kind of dorky, but he's still wicked cool.

"Nate," I said with a nod of my head.

We walked and talked a bit. Apparently, Professor Juniper's assistant Bianca is coming to visit our local gym leader Cheren tomorrow. I hear she's a babe. I wonder if we'll get to meet her.

"Oh, look at the goldeen!" Nate exclaimed. We paused, enjoying the sight of a single, graceful goldeen haphazardly battling a seaking. The seaking obviously wasn't taking the battle seriously, but it was always cool to see a pokemon battle. I myself have spoken numerous times to my parents about getting a pokemon and going on a journey...

but so far all I have are an empty badge case and an unused lisence. Bleh. I even signed up for the PC system!

We're starting to head toward the edge of town, now.

"Hey, Nate," I pipe up, "wanna go run through the tall grass?"

"Eh? Route nineteen ain't got any axews on it or anything, but wild pokemon are a bit muchfor us to go unarmed against..."

See? Total dweeb, right?

"Don't be a wuss!" I growled, charging boldly into the tall grass.

Of course, my luck would have it that right then I would fall through a rip in time.

Have I mentioned that Celebi is seriously the worst legendary? She's the worst. Her daddy Dialga spoiled her rotten.

Anyway, the last thing I heard as Nate calling out for me like a ditz. I mean, either grab me or don't, right? I blacked out after that.


My name is Dawn Rowan. I'm the oldest child of Patrick Rowan, youngest son of the great Professor Rowan. I'm... not exactly anyone's favorite. My little sister prefers our cousin, Lucas, to me. Barry, the really cute boy who used to hang around me, is always tagging after his father now. Even my mom's father, who viewed me as a way to reconnect with his lost daughter, doesn't pay me attention anymore.

I guess that's why I went to the Eterna Forest to pout.

I was looking for Celebi, honestly. Apparently, Celebi is really good friends with my clefable, Urbana. Last time I was in a bad mood, Celebi was kind enough to take me not only in the past, but also to a different region. In the White Forest I met a really nice family. They had two cute kids. Their grandpa even helped me catch a togepi. Apparently, togepi in the forest are attracted to young girls in short skirts...

The togepi is actually a togekiss with me now.

I saw down on the mossy rock that me and my crew liked to use as I hoped Celebi would show up. My kadabra-I couldn't bear to part with him, even if for a quick trade-played quietly with my clefable and togekiss. My empoleon was brooding, though.

"Mm, Rex, what's wrong?"

The empoleon pouted. That meant Celebi was on her way. My empoleon desperately hated Celebi. It was kind of funny-I wondered if that was because Celebi always seperated me from my pokemon when I time traveled.

However, I wasn't the one time traveling today.

Through Celebi's portal flew a teenage boy. I'm only twelve, so, you know, seeing a teen always worries me. They're pretty arrogant, usually.

Celebi appeared near me, clapping in unison with Urbana, both looking pleased with themselves.

"Did you kidnap him?!" I screeched.

"Ugh..." the boy moaned.

Celebi hummed.

"Celebi, you can't just take people!"

The pokemon looked blankly at me.

"Oh-if you don't behave, I'll get Lucas to get your father!"

The time traveling pixie frowned, tears threatening to spill. Oops. In a huff, Celebi vanished.

"No! Please, I haven't seen Lucas in a month! I couldn't call him if I wanted to..." Too late. Celebi was long gone. I pouted. "Ugh. We've got to walk to Eterna City. Cube, could I get you to carry this guy, please?"

My togekiss obediently complied, carrying the stranger easily. I returned my other pokemon. If they were needed, they were only a button away.
