*~Pokemon X and Y~*
Okay! Let's get started on a new story! (Never fear, readers of Black and White, I am trying very hard to make the last chapter good, so that is why it's taking so long.) I'm very excited to write this, and I'm probably going to change some things about this. And since I've almost completed the game...I'll know what to change.
Note: Just so you know...I'll be writing Serena's personality in a way no one would expect...so keep that in mind.
Here is the timeline for all my fanfics!

~Chapter 1: Début
War ravaged through the Kalos region; life and death struggled for dominance. There was no way to stop it. Even though one halted it for a short period, it didn't matter.
As in other regions, where the legends of old caused the world to grow dark,
so would the two here,
for these events are doomed to repeat,
without fail,
for all of time,
causing Arceus great sorrow.
Sunlight falls in through the window, and I ignore its calling to awaken. The sound of flapping wings makes me open one eye, so that I see the Fletchling before it rams into me with a tackle attack. I sit up as it flaps away and glare after it.
Knocking my yellow, Pikachu gaming device onto the floor, I walk downstairs. My mère turns away from cooking breakfast, and looks at me. She clucks her tongue.
"Are you all rested up? You need to welcome the neighbors," she says. "One just moved in, and you still need to meet up with the other girl you've been ignoring." She gives me a once over, then sighs.
"Go change out of your pajamas," she says. "You can't go outside in pink sleepwear." I turn around, and head upstairs wordlessly.
Fletchling follows me, and I brush my long, light brown hair while looking in the mirror. The bird pokemon flaps around me, and I swat at it with my brush before grabbing what clothes I'll be wearing.
Slipping on my dress, I smooth out the red pleats and brush fuzz off the black collar before pulling on thigh high tights, shoes, and my hat.
"Hurry!" my mère calls from downstairs, and I grab my bag before walking downstairs.
"That's better," she says. "Go outside, Shauna's waiting."
"IT'S ME! SHAUNA!" a loud voice calls from behind the door. I glance back at the stairs, wondering if I have enough time to run upstairs and lock the door before she can catch me.
Mère gives me a look, and I head to the door.
"HIYA!" she says. "I'm Shauna, remember? Oh-! hello Ms. Yvonne. We've never really talked, but I thought it would be nice for us to go and be the welcoming comity for Vaniville's new residents!"
"Lovely," I say dryly. "What malchance..."
Shauna grabs my arm, causing me to trip over my mère's Rhyhorn, and drags me over to a house; one that is actually next to mine. She runs over and knocks on the door.
"Hello!" she calls. "Anyone there?" The door opens, and a woman steps out.
"Ah, you must be looking for my son. I'm afraid he's already left with two other boys," she says.
"Grand..." I mutter. Shauna frowns.
"Aww, well," she says, "we might as well head over to where the meeting place is."
I blink, and turn to her. "What meeting?" I ask.
"Oh! The renowned Professor Sycamore has decided to give us pokemon!"
I put my hand to my chin. "A pokemon, hm..."
Shauna turns to the woman.
"Thankies!" she says. "We'll be going then!" She skips off. I follow and we exit through the blue town gate, and down into another group of houses and a cafe.
"We're supposed to go over...there!" Shauna says, pointing to a table at the cafe. She practically runs over to two boys who are sitting at the table.
"Hi! I'm Shauna!" she says, and I sit down across from the two boys. They talk for a minute about each other, and I ignore them.
"Well, this is the meeting place that we all decided on," the taller boy says.
"Oh!" Shauna says. "Let me introduce you, this is Serena!" I nod slightly at them.
"Shauna's description was spot on!" the boy replies.
"This is Tierno," Shauna tells me. "He's got SERIOUS dance moves!" Shauna then points to the second boy with orange hair.
"And this is Trevor! He never misses a single question on his test, and he's a little shy..." Trevor blushes when he looks at Shauna, and stares down at his tea. I smirk lightly, and turn back to Shauna.
"It's nice to meetcha!" Tiero exclaims cheerily. "You know what? It'd feel like we are a closer crew if we call each other by nicknames! Can I call you Small Lady?"
"No WAY!" Shauna shouts. "It should be a sophisticated nickname, like Lady S! ...What do you think Trevor?"
"What!?" he yelps. "You want me to give a nickname to someone I just met?!"
"Shauna, you shouldn't put people in the spotlight like that," Tierno says. The three huddle together, and I watch them pensively.
"Alright!" Shauna says. "We've decided your nickname should be Lady S! Since you act like royalty all the time." I take a sip out of my caramel latte, and look back up at them.
"Well, you're not objecting, so that's that!" Tierno says. Shauna turns to him.
"Hey! Can we see the pokemon now? I wanna meet my new partner!"
"Right!" Tierno says. "It was such a cool feeling when Trevs and I met our first pokemon." He opens a tube shaped container, and three pokeballs sit inside.
"Lady S!" Shuana says. "You pick first!" I look inside, and read their personalities. I need one that will match mine. I glance back and forth, before picking mine. Shauna giggles and picks up the last one.
"Awesome! I love it already!" she says. "Wait...what about the trainer? That boy?" Tierno looks at Trevor.
"Well...he's already come and gone. We didn't even get his name. But he seemed a bit bi-polar. Like...he has two different personalities..." I look over at Shauna as she bites into a pastry.
"Coolness! I know a nickname for him we can use. X-Meister! Since he's so mysterious, ya know?" Everyone nods in agreement.
"Here is something else the Professor wanted me to give you," Trevor says, and pulls out two, thin objects. "These are Pokedexes. They record all the pokemon automatically when you encounter them!" I take mine and immediately check it before slipping it into my bag. Shauna turns to me.
"Oh! Isn't it cool to get our first pokemon?" she asks. "And it's your 16th birthday too!"
I stare at her in disdain. "Where did you hear that? My birthday is not for a long time."
Shauna frowns, "Ah...oh."
Trevor and Tierno exchange glances. "Here's a letter from the Professor to give to your parents so that they'll know." I take the floral print object, and put it away. Tierno and Trevor stand.
"Well, we've completed our assignment, so we'll be going," Tierno says. "Bye bye Lady S and Shauna!" They head out of town and into Route 1. I stir my latte with the metal straw in thought before standing and heading back towards my house.
"Wait!" I hear as I reach the gate. "I wanna battle with my L'il pokemon here, so bring out yours!" she says, and tosses her pokeball out with finesse. I retrieve mine, and I let it slip from my grasp.
"Fennekin!" Shauna says. "Use Tackle!"
"Bubble, Froakie," I state. Froakie leans back to dodge Fennekin, and Shauna's pokemon crashes into a building, then starts crying. Shauna yelps.
"Oh no! Fennekin, use Tackle again!" Fennekin turns to get blasted in the face by Froakie's Bubble, and faints immediately.
"Hey!" Shauna cries, holding her fists up to her mouth before jerking them down to her sides. "I wasn't done watching my cute pokemon yet!" She returns her pokemon as I do.
"You're amazing, Lady S," she says. "Let me heal your pokemon."
I look at her. "Your pokemon is the one who needs healing," I state, and stash my pokemon into my bag. She frowns.
"Well, say 'hi' to your mom for me!" Shauna says, and runs off towards her house. I head back through the blue gate, and to my house. I push the door open, and my mère turns.
"So, what did you and your neighbors end up doing?"
"Nothing," I say, and hand her the letter. She takes it.
"What's this,...une lettre d'amour?" She starts reading it. "Ah! Sycamore has entrusted you with a pokemon! Aren't you special." I stare at her until she continues.
"He wants to meet you at his base in Lumiose city. Lumiose! You'll probably go folle with all the fashion! I can't wait to see what clothes you buy, what contacts you try, and hair colors!" She smiles, and I just wait.
"Well, I think you should go on this journey with your new pokemon," she says, and places a hand on my shoulder. "It will be life changing for you."
"Whatever.." I mutter. She looks into my green eyes, and tucks a strand of light brown, wavy hair behind my ear.
"You'll have fun, just trust in your pokemon." I give her a curt nod, and leave. She sticks something into my pocket as I head through the door.
"Money for the clothes!" she says, and I pull out the thin, metal card. "Use it for food when you get to Santalune city." I pass Rhyhorn, and I plods over to me before roaring happily.
"Rhyhorn is wishing you luck!" my mère says, and shuts the door. I give the Rhyhorn a quick pat on the head, before leaving town. After passing the cafe in Aquacorde, crossing the bridge, and arriving at Route 2, I hear Shauna.
"Laaaaady S!" she trills. "I was allowed to go! SO, the big question is, how to catch a pokemon." I nod.
"It's simple," I state.
"Yeah, can you show me?" Shauna asks. "I'll give you ten pokeballs!" I take the pokeballs, and demonstrate for her, without catching the weak Bunnelby my Froakie defeated. Shauna nods.
"Wow! The pokemon ACTUALLY went inside the pokeball!"
"Where did you think Fennekin went?" I ask dryly.
Shauna pauses. "Oh." I continue down Avance Trail, as Shauna follows close behind.
"There's Santalune Forest!" she exclaims loudly. I purse my lips.
"OMIGOSH!" Shauna yelps. "I need that pokemon!" She starts to run, but stops and looks back at me. "I'll just be a moment. I feel that if I follow you, something amazing might happen, so see ya in a sec!" She runs off. I pull out Froakie's pokeball.
"Find a Pikachu," I tell it, and it nods before zigzagging into the grass.
"PIKA!" a pokemon says in surprise, and runs out, with Froakie in hot pursuit. The Pikachu slaps Froakie in the face with its heart shaped tail, and Froakie uses Quick Attack to knock it away.
"Bubble," I say.
"Pika!" The opponent charges up electricity and zaps Froakie.
"Dodge." The frog pokemon rolls to the side, and shoots another array of bubbles at Pikachu, who hits the ground, exhausted.
"Go Pokeball." Pikachu sits up, and slaps it away, and I catch it.
"Froakie, use Quick Attack." My pokemon slams into Pikachu, and I throw the pokeball. Pikachu disappears into the pokeball with a vibrant light, and it rocks back and forth before stopping, signaling to me that it was a successful capture.
"Lady S!" I hear, and start walking quickly in the opposite direction. Froakie hops after me, and we walk as silently as possible. I tread carefully over some leafs, and glance over my shoulder as I go, watching for Shauna.
"Erk!" I yelp, as I slam into something. I fall on top of it, and hold my nose as it stings. I must have jammed it. I look blearily at what I landed on, and my eyes shoot open wide. A boy looks back at me.
"Why, hello there!" he says. I bolt up, and try to get off, but he laces his hands behind my head so that I'm stuck.
"What's your name?" he asks. I clench my teeth.
"Let. Go. Now." He smiles.
"Where's the fun in that? I wouldn't see your angry face if I did that." I grab his arms, and lift them over my head before standing, and dusting myself off. He gets up, and does the same to his blue jacket.
"LADY S?!" I hear Shauna call, and I tense.
"Lady S?" the boy asks. "What kind of name is that?" I purse my lips and return Froakie to its pokeball.
"If you won't tell me your name," he says. "I'll just give you one. Colette!" I freeze, then spin around.
"Do not call me that," I say coldly. He smiles.
"Whatever you wish, Lady S/Colette!" I give him an icy glare, and he chuckles. He suddenly frowns, and I look to where his gaze is. A wisp of red catches my eye, and I turn to look at him. His serious expression disappears, and he gives me a winning grin.
"So you chose Froakie," he states, pushing my hat down so that it covers my eyes. "I'll be seeing you soon!" I frown as he leaves, whistling some annoying tune.
Why would he point that out..?
Shauna suddenly pops out of the underbrush.
"HI! I've been searching for you!" I grimace, before glaring in the direction the boy left. It's all HIS fault that Shauna caught up.
Shauna grabs my arm. "C'mon!" she says. "Let's go catch up with Tierno and Trevs!" She drags me down the paths and makes me battle the trainers on the way. I manage to stop he for a moment and battle a Pidgey.
"Let go," I say, and pull out Pikachu's pokeball. "Use Thundershock." She looks at me, an electrocutes the bird in front of her. I toss out another pokeball and catch it within seconds.
Shauna squeals. "You're so COOL!" she cheers. "I wish I could be as good."
"Then why aren't you training?" I ask, crossing my arms as we walk past Tierno and Trevor.
"Hi!" Tierno calls, and I just glance at the two as Shauna waves.
"Look!" she calls after a while of walking and battling. "There's the edge of Santalune forest!" I look ahead, and see a small town in the background.
"Hurry hurry!" Shauna calls, and I watch as Tierno and Trevor pass me.
"I'll stay here to train," I say.
"Suit yourself!" Shauna trills. "Take some of these Super Potions!"
"Argh!" Tierno says, and starts hopping up and down. "The way those pokemon move is sooo incredible! I can't stop thinking how amazing it is to watch them battle!"
"Tierno..." Trevor says, sweatdropping. "Could you think about something besides that for once?"
"NEVER!" Tierno exclaims, and starts dancing some more.
"Well, I'm going to go look for Pokemon," Trevor says. "The professor asked us to complete the pokedex."
"What are you gonna do, Lady S?"
I look at all of them.
"Well," Tierno starts. "You could go battle the Santalune city gym leader!" I nod.
"I might."
"I'm going to spend time getting to know my L'il Fennekin!" Shauna says. "See ya!"
All three of them disperse. I look down at my Froakie, who returns my gaze with the same expression.
Turning on my heel, I head back into the forest for some training.
