Hello. This is my first Pokemon fic ever. I hope you enjoy it. I just finished playing Pokemon White a few days ago, so this story is based on my characters Pokemon which are Zekrom, Oshawott, Emolga, Vanillite, Cinncino, and Lilligant.
Also, if there are any spelling mistakes, kindly point them out to me and I will fix them. I have a broken wrist right now and typing is very hard.
Oh. And the girl Noa is Lyra from Pokemon HGSS. I changed her name because Lyra doesn't fit her well and neither does Kotone. Noa fits her much better in my opinion.
Lastly, Disclaimer: I do not own these characters.
My Birthday came early this year
The slight breeze that blew through the gaping hole in the wall was making me freeze. Curses to myself for not wearing more clothing. I shivered as I desperately tried to warm myself up to no avail. Oshawott nuzzled against my leg. It was a long battle against Team Plasma and it was finally over. I watched silently as Ghetsis, the mastermind behind everything, was dragged away by my best friend, Cheren, and the Champion, Alder. N, the 'king' of Team Plasma, stood silently a few feet away from me. He had learned the darkest secret Ghetsis kept from him, that N was used to help him control the world.
I wanted to comfort N. I want to give him a hug and tell him everything will be alright, but I felt like it was not my place. I stood in silence watching Oshawott tremble in the cold. I picked him up and cuddled him in my arms till he felt a little warmer. I never noticed N had walked over to me. He stared at Oshawott who was beginning to doze off in my arms.
"I always thought people were cruel to Pokémon. Every Pokémon I had ever known was hurt by humans. But everything changed the day I met you. Your Pokémon wanted to be near you. They liked you and wanted to stay with you. It confused me. Throughout your journey, I watched you, examined you. I tried to figure out why your Pokémon wanted to be with you." N grabbed my hand gently, trying carefully not to wake the sleeping Pokémon in my arms, and lead me to where the hole in the wall was. The breeze made me shiver and I shielded Oshawott as best as I could.
"Touko. I know now why your Pokémon wants to be with you. You have a true heart, something I lack." I open my mouth to blurt out a response, but he cut me off.
"I'm leaving. I'm going to find myself, what I was meant to do. Touko, one day we will see each other again. Until then, follow your heart." He stepped closer to me. For a split second I thought he was about to kiss me. I stared up at his green eyes and blushed slightly. He pulled me into a small hug and patted the sleeping Oshawott gently on the head. I saw him throw the Poke Ball that contained Reshiram over the edge. It burst open and the white dragon of fire was released. It hovered closely to the edge so N could climb aboard. I stepped to the edge and watched N fly off into the distance.
I watched as the white dragon flew further and further away till there was nothing in the night sky but stars. I stood there with Oshawott in my arms crying. Tears rolled down my cheeks as he disappeared into the night sky.

I woke with a startle. My alarm clock was going off and it was rather annoying. I slammed my fist down to shut the stupid machine up and glanced at the clock. Nine o'clock in the morning. Fantastic. I rolled over on my side only to have wet material rub against my face. I did have that dream again. The one that always makes me cry. The one where he left me. I rubbed my face and sat up. My hair felt tangled and my sheets were twisted around my legs. Oshawott slept soundly in his bed while my mothers' Lillipup, Butter, was scratching at the door to be let inside my room. I detangled myself from the sheets and let Butter in. She ran straight for Oshawott and nudged him awake with her nose. Oshawott stirred and sat up. The two then ran out of the room and probably downstairs where I could smell mother's cooking waft upstairs. I quickly changed into some shorts and a bright green t-shirt before darting downstairs.
Mother's cooking was the best, truly mother-made. I sat down at the bar instead of the table like usual. My mother was cooking my favorite, blueberry pancakes with blueberry topping.
"You're up late Touko." She said as she poured me a glass of milk and set it beside my plate. I shoved a bite full in my mouth.
"I was really tired I guess. Sleeping in won't kill you." I muttered as I shoved more food into my mouth. My mom laughed as she served Oshawott and Butter their breakfast. The two ate greedily like usual and begged for more when every last scrap was gone. I smiled at the two and finished my breakfast.
"So what's on the agenda today mom?" I asked.
"I have to go into town to run some errands. You can come with me, but I know you won't. I'll be home late so lunch is on you." She said turning off the stove and walking to the front door. I turned on my seat and faced her.
"Do you want to take one of the Pokémon with you?" I asked. Even though trainers knew not to challenge unregistered people, there were still wild Pokémon on Route 1. My mother shook her head. "I'll be fine Touko. Be sure to let Butter out." She called as she opened the front door and stepped out into the morning air.
I sat on my chair for a bit before deciding to wash my dishes and get ready for another boring day. I took a quick shower, got redressed, and wandered to the back door to the Pokémon out. The only one that was never released was Zekrom. I would walk to the edge of town and release him later. I watched as Emolga soar from tree to tree teasing Cinccino and Lilligant. Oshawott, who had taken a shine to Butter, played tag with her and Vanillite. I watched for a bit before returning inside to watch some TV.
I flipped nonchalantly through the channels finding nothing good to watch. I finally settled on this talk show that was interviewing a trainer from the Johto region. I must admit I was interested in traveling to the other regions, but the only way to get there was on an airplane and those tickets do not come cheap. I watched as the bright blue eye girl talked about her adventure when she was thirteen years old.
"So Noa, you started your Pokémon journey when you were just thirteen years old. That must have been really scary."
"Not at all! I was thrilled to receive my Pokémon from Professor Elm. To be honest, it just started out as an errand for the Professor, but when I reached my destination Professor Oak greeted me at the door and gave me my PokeDex. It was then that I decided to travel."
"It is said here that you fought and disbanded Team Rocket all by yourself."
"Not true! I had help from my good friend Ethan. The two of us fought side by side during the Radio Tower take over."
"This is getting boring…" I muttered. I turned off the TV and sat in a silent house. Silence. Something that usually bugged me was pleasant. I laid down on the couch and enjoyed the peace. I was beginning to doze off when there was a small tap at my front door. Frustrated, I opened the door and stood before me were my three best friends.
Touya, who I have known since the day I was born, stood in lead. He had started his Pokémon adventure just a few months before myself. He had always been like an older brother to me and will forever remain that way. But I couldn't say so much to the person standing behind him. Cheren, whom I have known since the third grade when he moved from the city to our quiet little town. He has always had a crush on me and never failed to tell me every day what I meant to him. Got rather annoying after the second day, but he still remains a good friend and that's all that will remain between us.
And the last person was my greatest gal pal, Belle. She moved to this quiet town in the first grade and we bonded immediately. She has always been the clumsy one stumbling all over the place. I looked after her like a little sister even though she is three months older than I am.
They all stood on my front porch in the brisk fall air. "This is a surprise. If I knew you guys were coming over I would have at least cleaned the house a bit." I muttered realizing I have been lazing around the house all day. Touya laughed and stepped inside. He never needed to be invited in. My home was his hom and his home was mine. Cheren and Belle followed in afterward and took a seat in the living room. Cheren immediately turned the TV on where the interview with the Johto trainer was still going on.
"What are your plans now that you have reached the age of 20? Many trainers work towards being a Gym Leader."
"Being a Gym leader would be great, but there are still many adventures out there for me. One day I would like to be a Gym Leader, maybe even going on to be an Elite Four. But for now, I'll continue to travel and discover all the Pokemon out there."
"She is so awesome." Cheren mumbled as he watched the boring show intently. Touya sat at the bar where I had eaten breakfast laughing at Cheren being love struck.
"What brings you guys over? I thought you were going out of town for a while." I said as I recalled a conversation a few weeks ago with Touya stating they were going to travel to Undella Town to relax. I had declined not feeling like going out after everything that had happened.
It had been a crazy six months since he left. He left. My mind began to wander back to him and I could feel tears feel my eyes. He was such a lonely kid. I still wish I had chased after him, but what difference would it make.
"That's why we didn't leave." Touya said pointing at me. I stared back confused. They didn't leave because of me. What was that all about?
"You've been locking yourself away from the past six months and we don't like it. So, Touko, you get your birthday present early this year." Touya said. Belle stood from her seat on the couch and walked over to where I was standing. She reached into her bag and pulled out a small white envelope. I took it from her hands and slowly opened it.
Inside were three plane tickets to Pewter City in Kanto.
This chapter was actually suppose to be longer, but for your sake I cut it short. I hope you enjoy and please support my story.
Reviews are wonderful!
