Prologue

"Bianca! Bianca!" a woman called. She was inside her lab, at her desk. A glass cylinder case containing three red and white Pokéballs was set in front of a large stack of books and papers. The woman had light brown hair tied into a bun, red earrings, a white lab coat with a green skirt underneath, and mint green eyes.

"Hey Prof. Juniper!" a cheery voice called out. Prof. Juniper stood up and smiled when she saw a sixteen year old girl with short blond hair and orange-colored rimmed glasses. She wore an orange jacket and a green hat with a little white bow. She also wore baggy green jeans that reached down to her knees, clunky orange sneakers, and a large green purse. The girl did a quick nod of her head when she reached the Professor.

"Did you call me?" she asked.

"Why yes I have. Bianca, I want you to take these Pokéballs to Aspertia City." Prof. Juniper replied. She picked up the glass case with the Pokéballs in it and gave it to Bianca. Inside the Pokéballs, Bianca already knew, were three Pokémon. A Grass type, a Water type, and a Fire type. She curiously looked at the Professor and then at the red and white capsules.

"So, what's the occasion?" Bianca asked.

"Well, there were two kids, a boy and a girl, who just graduated Trainer's School. Since they have, I believe they can have my starters, Snivy, Tepig, and Oshawott. Besides they're more than old enough to travel, the girl's fourteen and the boy is fifteen." Prof. Juniper explained.

Bianca carefully placed the case into her purse, the case cushioned by her apricot-colored scarf. "I see your giving them the same starters you gave me and Cheren." said Bianca.

"Well yes…" the Professor began before Bianca interrupted her.

"So… where is Aspertia City anyway?"

"You have to take a boat there from Castelia City. Unlike Nuvema Town, Aspertia City has a Gym and Pokémon Center, and bigger buildings. It's on a little island in the southwest."

"Okay, small island, southwest, Aspertia City, one boy and a girl, got it."

"Good Bianca, just… try not to get lost. I'll call the kids' parents to tell them you're coming, so they kids know who to look for."

"Don't worry Prof. Juniper. Bianca's got it under control." She slung the purse over her shoulder. "Well bye! See you in a few days Professor!" Bianca called over her shoulder. Professor Juniper waved.

"Goodbye Bianca! Have a nice time!" she called just as Bianca walked out the door. As soon as she was gone, the Pokémon Professor sighed and sat back down on her office chair. She picked up a little wooden picture frame that had a picture of her, Bianca, and a boy slightly older than Bianca named Cheren. It was then Professor Juniper began to think to herself.

It's just so strange, she thought. Just two years ago, Bianca and Cheren were bustling new Pokémon Trainers. Now, Bianca is my assistant and Cheren is a Gym Leader. It's so amazing and yet sad at how time flies…

Professor Juniper sighed again and watched several leaves flutter by. It was autumn in Unova.

It just makes me miss those good old days. I just wonder… what about the other kid….
