I can't believe that I'm working on three stories at the same time, but after reading stories such as Child of Mew and Symbiosis, I decided to do a story just like them, although this takes place during (and after) Best Wishes in the Amine. However, the world is much more darker and edgier, just like in Symbiosis, and a new tail is about to take place. One which has some parallels to Ash's journey, yet at the same time is much different, mainly as this story mainly focuses on a new Pokemon Trainer who grew up with a Ninetales. For one, the starting age for Pokémon trainers is now 12 rather than 10, mainly due to the fact that being a Trainer is more dangerous than normal. Plus, Orre is right on Kanto's doorstep, being to the north of Kanto - and the Orre maps have West as the top rather than North.

Summary:

Nine years ago, a disaster led to a young child being orphaned, but a wise Ninetales took him in. Now, with a female Eevee by his side, Adam Kitsune starts his journey to become a Pokémon Master, but fate has other things in mind for the Pokémon-raised human…

Meanwhile, in Unova, N learns about both Neo Plasma's actions, and about the group known as Team Dark Aura, who are hell-bent on taking over the universe, and so he tries his best to stop them if he can. Although it doesn't help that one of the members of Team Dark Aura was the one behind the disaster which orphaned Adam...

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon or any of the characters barring Adam, Darian and the Bayhills. There will be some mature content being touched on.
