The Fire Within!

"It was going to be a bad day" I had commented earlier on, before stepping into the back of the moving van, my seat needed so my little sister Lyra could sleep and the suitcases were in the car. Our journey was taking us from the great town of New Bark to a place in Hoenn called Littleroot, so we had to move all of our items apart from pokemon, which we left on our friend's ranch. The story I'm about to tell you is one that influenced my life forever, this is the story of The Fire Within.

I heard my walkie-talkie crackle into life "Blaze, are you ok back there?" my mother's voice echoed round the back of the truck. I looked around, everything still in place and only three broken plates "Yeah, I'm fine" I replied, a china vase smashing behind me "Shit" I muttered quietly and turned off the walkie-talkie and sat on top of a box, inspecting my new trainer card for Hoenn.

Name: Blaze

Age: 16

Time as a trainer: 2 years

I looked at my faded old Johto one, the picture taken especially for it me and my Totodile 'Hydro' posing for the picture. I slipped it into my old journal and stood up feeling the truck slowing to a halt, making the old TV fall down and smash "great!" I yelled in anger, pulling shards of glass out of my shoes as I got out of the truck marvelling at the new home and town. "Wow, this is nothing like New Bark" I said, my Mum sneaking up on me with Lyra, frightening me into the tall grass "SERIOUSLY?!" I shouted as a grey wolf grabbed my ankle in its teeth "Hey get off!" I said shaking my leg as the grey pup tried to mount it "GET OFF" I yelled feeling a little grossed out, running out of the grass and running into the house and into my room trying to grab something to get the pup off.

Eventually, I get the pup off, To much whining and puppy dog eyes, I put it in the tall grass after promising I'd come back for it and headed to the Pokemon Professor's Lab "Uh... Hello?" I called walking forwards into the gloom that was the Lab, A door opening behind me and a girl and boy my age walk in "We came for our Pokemon" I hear the boy call and sneak over in the dark "Hey!" I shout jumping out from behind the bookshelf I was hidden behind. The boy shoots out with a fist, hitting me in the stomach as the girl pepper sprays me "AHH! Son of a!" I yell hitting the ground clawing at my eyes "Heh, sorry" The girl explains looking at me "I'm May, me and my friend Drew have come to get our Pokemon, we thought you were some sort of pedophile."

A while passes and the effects wear off, my eyes slowly stop streaming. "Professor! We're here!" Drew shouts as I walk forwards seeing a note on the table saying 'Take a Pokemon' in front of three pokeballs "Guys! Over here" I shout bringing the two over to me and showing them the sign, letting them pick first as they've lived here longer than me "Okay I pick those!" May says pointing at the pokeball for torchic. "This one's mine" Drew confirms with me, taking Mudkip's Pokeball. "So I guess, all that's left is..." I mutter to myself releasing the Pokemon inside, A green Pokemon emerging from the Pokeball "Treeko" The pokemon yells triumphantly on getting picked. "What's this?" Drew asks picking up a suspicious item, that looks like an earpiece. "There's only one way to find out." I say taking it and attaching it to my ear, turning around makes nothing happen until I look at Treeko "Hello, who are you? And why are you looking at me strangely?" A female voice says as her mouth moves.
