In Fortree City Orphanage, in a small bedroom, a twelve year old boy read this letter. He was quite scrawny, with longish, unkempt dark hair and oddly bright blue eyes, and was wearing a faded green hoodie and ripped jeans. He was also sitting on his bed.

He looked up from the letter at the plump orphanage carer, Ms Featherhill, and smiled.

"Yeah, I'd like to go here. But I'll need a Pokemon..."he trailed off, and Ms Featherhill smiled back.

"We've taken care of that." she said, pulling a sheet of paper from her pocket and showing it to the boy. His blue eyes scrolled across the paper in delight before he pointed at the third picture.

"Could I have that one?" he asked, and Ms Featherstone placed the paper back in her apron pocket and smiled again.

"Of course, Rafael."

Two days later, Rafael received his new Shinx as his thirteenth birthday present, and named her Mali. The next day he set off in the coach to Alakazam Academy.
For the first time since his parents had died, he felt truly happy.

AN: A few more things to put on your OC list; Personality, Appearance, and your Pokemon's Personalities and Names. ^^ Please tell me what you think of this story, and please read Playing With Fire if you haven't already done so.
Also, sorry about the shortness of the actual chapter, and bear in mind that if you do a thirteen year old with, say, a Blastoise, then I'm going to devolve it into a Squirtle. Only seventeen and eighteen year olds have fully evolved Pokemon. :P
