Author's note: This story is a bit different, but it's still a good old adventure story about a girl and company who are trying to be the best trainers. So if you like that kind of thing you should find this interesting.

Disclaimer: I do not own pokemon…so don't sue me.

Wake up. Eat breakfast. Take pills. See doctor. Everyday do the same thing. Every day play cards with the others while the nurses monitor you. Are you feeling happy? Have you been seeing things, smelling things or hearing things that aren't there? No. That's good. I think were making progress.

Brush teeth. Put on clothes. It's breakfast again: The same old meal as any other day. But something's different. Huh, but what? She doesn't know. Her hair lays lank against her back. She looks at the others, she looks at the nurses. It's the same old thing as every other day. But today is a day of change.

She looked up at the fellow crazies. One acknowledged her. She nodded at him and then towards the door. It was as she was asking, if we run now, will they catch us?

After breakfast they had quiet time. She left to go to her lonely room. It was a plain room. White walls, white sheets on the bed and a teal colored cupboard that had all her stuff locked inside. She was only aloud entry to it with the permission of a staff member. There was one window with no bars but with glass so strong not even a pokemon could break through it. The window had teal curtains. She lay down on her bed. It was a good, comfortable bed, one which she could allow herself to relax on.

She was 15, and still not a pokemon trainer. Although her dream was strong she was not able to be the person she dreamed of. She had no family. It wasn't the classic story of abandonment. Her family had all died. At first she'd been sent to foster care. But she continued to run away numerous times. She had a taste for freedom, a dream of being the greatness trainer. But none of that mattered. The hospital was a good place. But she did not belong there. It was true that the other crazies did, but not her.

For some reason her eye was drawn to the window. She lifted away the teal curtains. At first she saw nothing. But then, in the distance she saw a small glimmer. An Absol. She smiled at it. And for a while they just stared at each other. But then there was disturbance, someone appeared outside and the Absol disappeared. She longed for it to come back and banged on the window, willing the strong to break. But to no avail.

When she'd run away for the third time a psychiatrist had come to see her. She didn't like him. He was old and cranky and in her opinion unfit for the job. He diagnosed her with severe depression and a self alienation disorder. She had yelled at him. She screamed that he was wrong, that she was a perfectly normal girl. That only made his case appear all the stronger.

"Now, now, Brianna, were going to send you to a safe place for a little while. Everything will be fine."

A little while turned into a year, and then into two. She constantly tried escaping the hospital. She constantly said she was fine, that there was nothing wrong with her. However, whether or not anyone believed her she was owned by the government. And she'd been sent there for a five year term, and nothing could change that.

Back in the present she was banging her hands on the window. A nurse came in and asked whatever was the mattered.

"An Absol came to my window. It came to see me, I'm sure of it!" Brianna exclaimed happily.

"This building is fool proof, it's impossible for a pokemon to enter within a 100 meter range of it. I'm sorry Brianna but I'll have to report this to the psychiatrist. We may need to increase your medication if you continue to see things," the nurse said. She made her leave, but before closing the door behind her she shot Brianna a kind smile.

Brianna sighed, but still, relentlessly she stared at her window. When quiet time was over she was sent to the classroom with all the other crazies to do school work. The crazies seemed impressed with her. They'd never believed she was truly one of them. But now, surely since she was seeing things that weren't there, surely she was indeed a crazy herself.

The crazies were nice kids; they were the only ones who had been certain Brianna was sane. But now they were proven wrong. They accepted her as one of them because crazy or not they were kind children. A boy named Michael smiled at her. "Welcome to the wonderful world of the clinically insane," he muttered.

"It's always a pleasure to visit, but I won't be here long," Brianna replied. The absol would return, and somehow, some way she'd be free.

As she knew it would that night the Absol returned. The nurses were too busy with their work to notice her. The Absol looked at her from the other side of the window. She stared back. It got ready to pounce and quickly she backed away from the window. First came an icebeam from the absol, and then, very quickly a slash attack. The window shattered.

"And they said it was impossible to break," she muttered. Already alarms were going off throughout the building-she didn't have much time. She jumped out of the window, and the absol bent down so that she could clamber onto its back. Suddenly the Absol was racing away and she who rode it could not help but feel a rush of adrenaline and excitement at the idea of finally escaping.

"Patient AWOL!" yelled a voice. People were racing after her. Back in the unit she knew by now that the crazies would already be calling her a legend. A hero, for she was the first to ever escape. The absol raced into the night, away from the hospital. Through the city they fled, weaving their way through buildings and roads. And at last, at the end of the city they reached a forest. And into it they escaped.

Brianna awoke somewhat dazzled. She lay on the damp forest ground. Light flooded through the leaves of the trees. She didn't remember how she'd come to be lying on the ground. And for its part, the absol had disappeared. Although she wished the absol hadn't abandoned her there she was still pleased to at long last be free.

She got up slowly and looked around. To her surprise at her side lay a pokeball. She picked it up, 'Go' she murmured. A Shinx appeared from the red light. A note was tagged to it. She took the note off gingerly.

Here is your freedom, use it wisely.
