Author's Notes: Because this may very well be my absolute favorite Pokémon shipping, that's why! This story is simply my attempt at fleshing out their encounters in the game — along with little bonuses of my own later on. Please enjoy, my fellow Lyra/Silver fans.

Chapter One: Angel on My Shoulder
"So this is the famous Elm Pokémon Lab…"
Lyra blinked at the back of this strange boy's head (what is he mumbling to himself about?), her fingers twined behind her. Her brown crescent-shaped pigtails tilted to the side as she attempted in sneaking a peek at whatever this kid was ogling at. She had caught initial sight of him from the distance while on her way to the laboratory, and decided to see for herself just what was so darn interesting. Plus, this kid appeared a bit suspicious, with the way he was pressed up against the outer wall of Professor Elm's lab and all.
In the window's vague reflection, garnet orbs locked with curious brown ones, and the former widened in shock.
The boy wasted no time in whirling on her, a scowl tugging at his lips.
"…What are you staring at?" he demanded as his eyebrows angled into a resentful glower, the hands hanging at his sides clenching into taut fists.
"Umm, hey there…" Lyra, at a loss for words, resorted to a nervous grin and waved a hand in front of her feebly. "Whatcha doing?"
This kid was not the friendliest of types, she realized, when he shoved her backwards and almost knocked her to the ground.
"Scram!"
Lyra caught herself at the last possible second, and narrowly avoided plummeting to the terrain on her bum. "H-Hey!"
Assuming a more dignified stance, she puckered her lips and glared at the offender, petite shoulders hunched.
—but the icy look of warning he shot her was just enough to remind her of her assigned errand.
