I do not own the Pokemon franchise or this would be a part of the Orre cannon. Key: 'Words'-thoughts, "Words"-spoken, Words-Music, Words-Signs, /*words*/-author's notes. Enjoy*/

The Days Gone By
"Wes, it's a boy." Rui told me as we saw the display at the OB doctor's office. We were expecting a child, it had been halfway through her cycle and today, we found out. In the same time span since then, we would be close to seeing him with our own eyes. After we got to the car, I pulled another doctor there aside and told him, "I need you to do me a favor. If I my wife and I are unable to raise our son in anyway, I need you to make him a loving home. And if it comes to that, I have compensation for your struggles. I have talked with Rui about this and she agrees. But the kid is to lose any connection to us when he is taken. You are to tell his great grandparents that he too was lost. Alright, John?" "I do believe this could work. Though Lily would be hard to convince." After we got in our car, we left Phenac General Doctor's and headed home. "Rui, I have talked with John about this. I know that we will most likely not be able to raise him, but at least we can let him have a better life than either of us ever did." Wes then thought to his past, and being raised outside of the region.
"Harder, faster, better." a younger, shaven, hair filled Gonzap told a younger me. I merely gritted my teeth as I went back through the obstacle course. His Espeon and Umbreon were on the sides, watching my endeavors. "Lucis, Riia. Stay here." I told my Espeon and Umbreon respectively. I then traversed the course again, and was able to finish it. Gonzap came over to me and said, "Kid, for a novice recruit, I believe you can become my best agent in a few years. Better than growing up in Pyrite town, where you'd be unable to get to this level with these two for many years more." "Thanks for taking me in, Gonzap." I told him. "Take a break, you need it." I was told. During that time, I looked at my journal and wrote; Wednesday: Today I was able to finish the master challenge. All I need to do after this is help Lucis and Riia get to my best state and we can get rank. I learned about a prototype snag machine to get other's Pokemon. Though I haven't a need for it now, there will be a day.
Some years later: 'Today's the day. Gonna do what I must.' I thought. I planted the bombs, fully intending on killing some of the gang, took Lucis to the motorcycle, had him ready it, got Riia, had her aim for any witnesses, and activated the weakest bomb. I took Riia in and we went to the storage for the Snag Machine. After getting it, they left, with Lucis keeping the moto running. "You two want some fun?" I asked my partners. Riia nodded and Lucis had inhibitions. "Okay, let's go then." So they sped off, with most of Snagem on our backs and blew the facility up. "BOOM!" We left the place and headed to Outskirt Stand for food. That was the day that I would start to save Orre. But all I wanted was some good fun as I let my now enemies deal with the cops.
"Grand papa, can I go to the stone and pray?" I asked. "Sure Rui, just don't be too loud." he told me. So I left the chief house of Agate and went to the relic stone in the depths of the village. There was the first time I saw a hurt Pokemon. It was a Pichu. They hadn't a clue as to where they were. But the big distinguishing factor was the black aura around it. They tried to attack me, but I grabbed them and took them to Grandpa. I was dead sprint and headed straight home. "Grandpa, I need help with this Pichu." I told him. "Now then my child, what is it?" he asked in his always calm voice. "This Pichu has a black aura around it." His calm face turned to terror and then told me, "For our safety, I need to see it." He then ran out of the house like I'd never seen prior. When he came back, he told me, "That Pichu was once with a locked heart. You shouldn't have know this for years. I fear as if a crisis may arrive in a few years. It is in your best interest that any Pokemon like that will be taken to the stone after having a more open heart. The time flutes are going away. So a good person must save them for us all." I took this in with pure fear. That was the last normal day of my life. Some years later: 'That Makuhita, it has the black aura. What is causing them to be like this?' I asked myself. I approached the owner and asked, "What is the deal with your Pokemon. How did you give it the black aura?" The last that I saw was a needle go into my neck and knock me out. After that, I was saved by Wes. From there, we'd go to save our home region of Orre. And then he pulled the ring out. I said yes
'Wednesday: It has been a day. Rui and I got to see our son born. We informed John of this and he was ready. That night, the egg that my Espeon and Umbreon had hatched. Out popped a shiny female Eevee. He was next to our son. The plan was to now give the two instead of just our boy. I decided to open the window, when I heard my phone go off. Then I looked out and saw a marks person and their partner aiming for us. It was definitely Cipher. John, I hereby leave you my son and the Eevee. He will have the Eevee all the time, but will need to travel the world. As such, I need him to become the best Orre, Unova, and Alola. My last will and testament will become public when my death declared. You are to do so.'
"Dammit Wes. You and your family had to die on me. Of course you did." I said. I was absolutely livid at the fact that the killers got away and even more at the death of my best friend. At the funeral, I read his final words to everyone. "To you all, I wish you the best that your lives can offer. And I want you all to remember the good and bad we had together." I read to the group there. This was also a service for Rui, but her Grandfather read something, "Rui was a great woman. She did what was right, even from a young age. That saved us all but it was what killed her. But like John said, take the best of your lives. Go on without them, it may be how we can be our best. And for the fact that their own child was killed with his partner. That entire family, I want to see those who did this gone." I took Lily and we went to our place, shared with the good Professor Krane. "We are to raise them how we'd our own. And it is best that we forget about adopting Michael and say he's our own blood. I beg of you Lily." "Alright John, but can anyone else know?" "No. Just us." So we went home after the burial. I chose to have their bodies, their partners' bodies, and the fake corpses placed there in a familial grave house.
Eight years later: "Michael. I need you to know this. Just as I did for my best friend, move on. Live without me. And Neir, she is your partner now. I might have my partner to keep watch over your mom, but I need you to keep watch over your soon to be born sister and who her partner will be. More than that, act when nobody else will. Do what no one else can. That is how we can always be our best self." The doctors ordered me out of his room. As I left, the heart monitor flat-lined and then he died. My mom took me in and the three of us embraced. Both Neir and I had to be gentle as soon I'd get a little sister. Krane was standing there, trying to hold the tears, but he then came to us and let them flow.
The weeks following dad's death were the hardest of my life. Mom wouldn't talk when she rarely left her room. The only time she did was when her expecting pains got worse. Krane took to finding a safeguard in case Cipher would return. And I took to battling. It was a distant time for us all until Jovi was born. Then, we got into a better mood altogether as someone joined the family. For the next eight years, life would be this way until that day.

So I hope you liked this. I want some responses. Most chapters after this will be much longer and focus on one character at a time. This was the exception as I needed to make key events. From here on out, it mainly focuses on Michael and his Eevee, Neir. The plot to XD will be slightly altered as well, older character, new views on him. -Mikau */
