Mia looked out the grey tinted window of the orphanage and sighed, she watched new Pokémon trainers travel proudly through the city of Rustboro every year, and every year she yearned to join them.

She had been enrolled in the Pokémon trainers school since she was 5 years old, but four years ago, when she was finally allowed to graduate and receive her first Pokémon, the orphanages funding got cut, and she was forced to drop out.

Mia looked blankly at the balloons that surrounded her, her presents lay strewn, forgotten about across the room, they were unimportant anyway. Just more second hand clothes that people gave to her out of pity.

She was 14 now, most trainers her age had reached great achievements, or had given up and gone home already.

Either way, a journey for her seemed long overdue and perhaps even impossible.


Then, the next day, something extra-ordinary happened, it was almost as if all of Mia's wishes had been answered, a nurse joy walked into the orphanage, and Mia was called down, and the nurse looked at her and smiled sadly.

"You look just like her" she mumbled happily

Mia blinked confused before gasping in shock "you... Knew my mother then?" she asked carefully

"She was my only sister" the nurse Joy replied gently gathering Mia into an unexpected hug "and I can't believe I've finally found you"

"I was missing?" Mia asked confused "but I've been here since I can remember"

The nurse Joy looked confused as well, "well, after your mother… died, we came to collect you from the hospital and you had vanished, we assumed you had been kidnapped, but a few days ago, one of my cousins, the Rustboro Nurse Joy, called me in Oldale town to say she'd seen you, well, she thought you were your mother at first, she thought she'd seen a ghost, but I knew it was you, and I tracked you down to this orphanage"

Mia frowned "so my mother is gone then?" she muttered

The nurse joy placed a hand gently on her shoulder and smiled down at her, "she may be gone, but there's a very big family waiting to meet you"

This thought made Mia smile happily, having been alone most of her life, the thought of having such a large family brightened her up.

The two talked for a few more hours, with the Nurse joy introducing herself as Natasha, they talked about Mia's mother and then, Mia enthusiastically told nurse joy of her dreams to travel as a Pokémon trainer, this made Mia's aunt pause in thought for a few moments, as if thinking up something.

Then Natasha excused herself for the day, promising Mia that the adoption papers would be sorted by tomorrow, and she'd be back to pick her up.

The next day, Natasha showed up, with two objects that would make Mia grin like an idiot for days.

The first object that she gave her niece, was a Pokémon egg, it was in a special egg container capsule, which reduced the chances of the egg smashing, the egg itself was brown and striped, Mia grinned and jumped up and down, thanking her aunt again and again.

Then, her aunt gave her a bag of 40 heal balls.

"they're like regular poke balls, but they heal the pokemon that you capture in the them, we're given loads at the Pokémon centre for emergency captures, but I've never even used one, so I think they'd be better off given to you."

Mia squealed in happiness and hugged her aunt, "thank you so much! With these things, I can finally go out and start my Pokémon journey! How can I ever repay you?"

"oh it's no problem dear, just make sure that you introduce yourself to each nurse joy along the way, I'll inform them that you're on your way, so they should recognise you when you do arrive" Mia's aunt smiled.

Mia grinned "I'm ready to start my Pokémon journey!
