Who was I? Where was I? "Aack!" All of a sudden my throat felt dryer than a desert and I was panting heavily, I also felt tired for some reason. I looked over and saw that I was conveniently next to a small pond with a waterfall, I rushed over and took a long drink of the cool, clear water. It was so refreshing, like the feeling of falling asleep after being awake for four days straight. Ah, while I was drinking I noticed something in the water, something orange, a small creature of some sort. I leaned in for a closer look and stuck my head over the water, and what was I to find but a Charmander staring back at me.

"Wait what?!" I screamed recoiling back until I finally gained my strength to press forward back to the water. I approached slowly as if it were some great beast that I was trying not to wake. I got closer and peered over the side once more, and once more I saw a scared Charmander staring back at me.

"This isn't possible, there is no way this is possible!" I shouted looking back at the Charmander, his movements perfectly mirrored mine, so I guess it was possible. But then again, how was it possible? What kind of magic brought me here and for what purpose? I didn't have my memories, I couldn't remember anything that happened months ago or even days, I just remembered waking up near this pond feeling tired and thirsty. I got lost in my thoughts imagining ways to describe how this made any sort of sense what so ever.

Bzzt! Bzzt! Bzzt! What was that? I looked over and saw three other Pokémon floating there, their hands flicking as if they were communicating with one another. They were called Beheeyem.

"Bee, beeh, yem." They said, I didn't know what any of it meant, until all of I sudden one of them rushed towards me.

"Woah!" I shouted jumping back, another, the one of the left, dashed towards me.

"Hey!" I screamed jumping to the right, I began to pant, why were they attacking me without cause? Then the last one dashed straight at me.

"Stop that!" I shouted, they all looked up at me, and then at one another. They nodded their heads and outstretched their hands, Bzzt! Bzzt! Bzzt! Their hands began to flicker as they flew towards me. "Or don't, your choice." I jumped back and ran opposite of the Beheeyem, screaming my head off as I ran. "AAAAAAAH!" I was flailing my arms in the air, screaming as loud as I could, I must of looked like some kind of deranged lunatic.

BAM! I crashed to the floor, my face slide in the dirt I was running on. I lifted my head and shook the dirt from my face. I managed to pick myself up and brush the dirt off of my body. Since I've been here I have already been attacked by a group of Beheeyem and now I have taken a dirt bath, not one of my best days. I looked over and saw a Nuzleaf laying in the dirt. Clearly I wasn't the only one having a bad day.

"I am so sorry." I said as I rushed over to help pick him up.

"Yeah, you should be more careful kid." He said, he sounded winded, I guess that's what happens when you rush headfirst without looking where you are going.

"I didn't mean to run into you, I mean I was running from this group of- Did you just talk?" I asked, and did I just understand him? Was I going crazy? Hopefully I was going crazy.

"Well duh, I mean you are too, it's not like it's uncommon or anything, we all do it." He said it as if I were just some dumb kid, but by the looks of things, I pretty much was. "Hey you don't look so good yourself there kiddo, what happened to you." I told him that I had been attacked by a group of Beheeyem just a few minutes ago, and that I wasn't even a Pokémon, but a human. To be honest, probably should of kept that part a secret, but I panicked ok?

"What?!" He shouted, "a human, as in from the human world?" Nuzleaf was astonished, I guess humans didn't exist here or something.

"Well… yeah." I stammered, we seemed to be at a draw point, I was clueless about this world, he was clueless about the human world, I guess we did have something in common so I did begin to trust him.

Bzzt! Bzzt! Bzzt! Oh no, not them again, I thought I had lost them. "That's them." I said.

"Well, I'm not waiting for them to catch up to us, follow me." He grabbed my hand and we continued to run north until we came across a cave. Did this guy know where he was going? Or was he aimlessly guessing? "A great," he said annoyed, "we had to be running in the direction of this cave here." I guess he did know. "Well no time to feel sorry for ourselves no kid." Nuzleaf said, and he went behind me and shoved me into the cave, I was perfectly capable of walking in, but that did not mean I particularly wanted to. I guess it was for the best of us that he did that…hopefully.

"What if I don't want to be just another housewife?!" I shouted at my dad.

"You listen here young lady, your mother and I have given a lot to train you privately on how to be a wife!" My dad shouted back, didn't he know that's not what I wanted to do with my life. I was always messing up everything, spilling the tea when I was bringing it, or drawing a bath that was just too hot. It wasn't for everyone especially not me. It wasn't fair that I was forced to learn how to be some housewife while my brother was out doing whatever he wanted.

"It's not for me!" I shouted, "I'm not cut out for that type of life! I mess everything up!" I mean, it wasn't wrong.

"Why did we even try then Aria? Was it worth it if you decide to never use it in life?"

"I don't know dad was it? I'm not the one who got to decide anything, it was all done for me probably since before I was born." I returned, and it probably was as I have come to believe living in this small town on the coast. A town maybe even a world where the boys were more dominant, and the girls took care of families or shops, no other jobs for them except those two. And, I knew this, but I was not cut out to be a wife, or at least one as viewed in this world. But there was no hope for me, I was doomed to become what I dreaded.

"That's not really your choice now is it?" He answered, I couldn't believe him, this wasn't for me, I wasn't like everyone else.

"I don't know…" I said walking towards the door, I grabbed the handle of the door and swung it open, the breeze felt nice as if it was the freedom I had been searching for and wanting my entire life. "I don't know." And with that I walked out the door, I will show them, show them that I can do whatever boys can do, whatever it takes, and I think I know just who to see about.

"What are we going to do about her?" The father of Aria asked his wife who was standing in the doorway a few feet from him, obviously she had been there for quite a while. "I mean she is fourteen but she thinks she knows what is best for her."

"She is fourteen and a half dear, and maybe she does know what's best. I mean she was true when she said she messes everything up." Her mother returned, trying to defend their daughter.

"I know, I know, but she will get better as time goes on, just like everyone else managed to."

"Then we will just have to wait to see what happens, and hopefully she will come around."

"Hopefully." But somehow, neither of them believed these words, they could only hope and wish that their little girl would become the wife that they wanted her to be.

It was a couple hours walk, but I finally managed to reach my destination, a solitary hut quite a ways from town. At first I didn't understand why she built a hut so far away, but now I think I have a good idea. The area was swamp-like with tall trees growing all around, so if you didn't know what you were looking for it would have been easily overlooked. I came here once by mistake when I was still just a kid, it was a little frightening at first considering the Mismagius there seemed kind of foreboding. But, after a meeting her and talking with her, I found she was quite nice.

I entered the dark insides of the hut, it was cluttered and packed full of potions, empty bottles, and ingredients. Clearly someone had never heard of spring cleaning, I shook my head, that was not what I was here for.

"Hello, Mismagius." I called, you would think someone with this much stuff would at least have a bell or something to alert her of the presence of costumers.

"I'm back here dear, make your way to the shelf in the back of the room." She must have been busy making some kind of potion or spell or something, should have figured since that was her job. I made my way to the back of the room stepping over boxes and snaking through the shelves. "Ah Aria, I thought it was you when I heard that voice, what can I do for you?" I couldn't believe she still remembered me, I mean it had almost been seven years.

"I'm looking for a particular spell to change my path in life, something more suited to what I want to do with my life." I said looking up towards Mismagius, she was stunned, blown back but what I told her. It was pretty difficult to believe that I wanted to change my life since I did belong to one of the most respected families in town, but being respected is no fun if you can't do what you want to with your life.

"Are you sure Aria? A spell like that may be irreversible."

"I'm positive," I answered, I took the pendant off of my neck. Our family pendant, worth a good price, but I never liked wearing it considering it was nothing but a reminder of the chains I was wearing in my life. "And I would like to pay with this." It had a boat sailing across the ocean on it, and had a jewel bedded in the center of it. Again Mismagius was blown away, I may have been over paying but I was going to change my life no matter what. She reached out and took the pendant and began examining it, I knew she knew it was real and worth a lot, but I guess it was just custom to any shop keeper.

"Alright Aria, wait there then, I guess I will brew you a potion for your wishes." She disappeared into the back room, and almost instantly I saw flashes of light and some weird green gas pour from under the door. I know I know what she is doing, but it is still weird too see that, I guess it is to me more than anyone since I never really get to leave the house.

Time passed, and finally Mismagius returned holding a vial of bubbling green potion. It had an extremely strong smell to it, the smell of the ocean. I liked it, and hopefully it would do just what I wanted it to.

"This potion, is guaranteed to change your life Aria. It works based on what you are feeling and what you want to do with your life. But its effects may be irreversible, so I'm going to give it to you and let you decide what you are going to do." She handed me the vial, it was warm from the bubbling liquid, but I will admit it did not look the most appetizing. I turned to leave the cluttered shop, I was finally going to make something of my life even if it meant leaving behind my old one. I reached for the door, but before I left I heard Mismagius from the back, "Oh and Aria, good luck." I smiled to myself, she believed in me something that no one has ever done.

"Thank you Mismagius and all that you have done for me." I opened the door and once again felt the breeze, this time however it was the wind of change. I stood next to her door and looked at the vial I was holding in my hand. I was definitely ready to make a change, I guess the only thing left to do was drink the potion. I lifted it to my lips, and the potion slowly went down the back of my throat. I was right, not the most appetizing or tastiest thing I ever drank, but I finished the potion and sat there for a second. When was anything going to happen? Was it just a dud? No, Mismagius would never do something like that. Then all of a sudden, a blue vortex opened behind me, and I looked back towards Mismagius's hut and smiled. It was finally time to start my new life.
