Hello guys! I'm back with another collaboration (I'm the Queen of collabs -_-) but this time I'm doing one with Poke-lover88. She's an awesome writer and I hope you like her writing.

This story is our OCs but may contain some other characters. This story is set in the Unova region and slimly follows the storyline of Black and White 2. If you don't know what the games are like, then this will be a good opportunity. But if you're currently playing the game and want no spoilers, then sorry, because there will be a few.

Anyway, lest get on with the chapter, because I'm itching to write it and I'm sure you'll actually want to read it!

Disclaimer: We both don't own Pokemon.

Chapter 1: Start of Something New

Sam's POV

"There." I say as the last thing in my bedroom is unpacked. "All done! Glad of that."

I then run to my window and open it wide. I start to shout out for my friend (who lives right next door!).

"Yo Mina! Come to my house right now!" I shout. I then see her window open and she nods in response.

I turn around to look at my new bedroom. It looks pretty good, and I'm glad that it was bigger than my old room.

My bed is pretty close to my window with my bedside table right next to it. My TV is opposite my bed and placed upon a cupboard. My laptop is on my desk and surrounding it has many posters of my favourite soccer players. My shelf is next to my desk with all my sports trophies.

I hear Mina come in. I look at her and think of how much we've been through together. She's my best friend; I've known her for years. Since we were only three years old, those were the good times. Now's pretty good, though! I look at her dirty blonde hair, which has a splat of red paint in it, and she is currently rubbing her green eyes.

"You unpacked already?" I ask her and sit down on my bed.

"Yes. I finished about an hour ago. I think it's great that we both moved here to Aspertia City. And I'm even happier that we're neighbours!" Mina replied with a giggle.

"Well let's go outside and meet our new neighbours." I suggested.

"Sure thing." Mina said.

We make our way downstairs to our living room. My Mom is there watching TV. She looks exhausted. She's been unpacking for a while now without much rest. She notices our presence, though.

"Where are you two off to?" She asked us.

"To meet our new neighbours, Mrs Laveene." Mina said sweetly. It's always best that Mina answers my Mom's questions because she can tell I'm lying just like that. I think it's her sixth sense or something.

"Okay, you girls can go." She nodded and we walked out.

I'm about to run up the path when I bump into a tall boy with blue hair and eyes that just bore into your skull. I'm pretty good at observing, just so you know.

"Watch it!" He shouts.

"I was! You're the one that couldn't see me!" I retort. I'm fighting for this match and I'm not going to lose.

"I could see fine!"

"No you couldn't!"

"Yes I could!"

"Okay guys, cool it!" Mina shouts and jumps between the two of us before I can punch him on the nose. When we've calmed down, I apologize.

"Aw, dude, I'm sorry. I was being blind." I say. His eyes soften. I think he just forgave me.

"It's okay. My name is Hugh Hyuu. I live just over there with my Mom, Dad and little sister." He introduces and points to the house directly next to Mina's house.

"Oh…cool. We just moved here. Umm, I live next to Sam. Oh, my name is Mina Abarca." Mina says quietly. I can tell that Mina feels uncomfortable. She goes quiet and gets flustered around new people. She only shows her true colours when you get to know her better.

"My name is Samantha Laveene. Oh, and call me Sam. Otherwise I'll break your arm." I threaten.

"It's happened before." Mina whispers to Hugh. Hugh's eyes widen and he nods.

"Come meet my family." Hugh suggests. We nod and follow him to his house. We enter his living room and see a small girl with short, chestnut brown hair that has a pink bow in it. She's wearing a green dress and is playing with an Eevee teddy.

"Tammy, look who we have here." Hugh says. I notice that his voice is softer when he talks to Tammy. She must be really important to him.

Tammy looks up and when she see's us, she jumps up and tackles us into a hug.

"Yay, finally there are some girls in this city!" She squeals. I hug her awkwardly and I can sense Mina freeze.

When Tammy gets off of us, she starts to comment on our clothes and appearances.

"I really like your hair!" Tammy comments. I'm pleased, because I love my hair, too. Its fiery red and currently tied back, but I hate it when I have to have it out when I dress up. I dislike shopping, but love sports! "And your blue eyes totally coordinate with your blue t-shirt! Maybe next time you could add a silver star on your black jeans to quirky it up?"

I look at her with confusion.

"Sorry." Hugh apologizes. "She wants to be a fashion designer when she's older."

I nod my head, understanding. Just like that, Tammy runs off. Hugh shakes his head and leads us out of his house. We walk until we get to the top of a hill. We sit down on a nearby bench.

"Do you guys have any Pokemon?" Hugh asks us.

"Yep! I have a Tepig! I got it when we just moved here. I'm supposed to go on my journey soon, but I don't want to face it alone. I want to travel with Mina, but her Mom is having second thoughts." I exclaim. Mina nods sadly. Her Mom is being super mean, and is getting in the way of Mina's dream.

We've tried to convince her, but she can't see the good side of it. I think we just need more people to comment on it nicely, and that way we'll be able to go.

"I have an Oshawott." Mina says simply, still in her sad funk.

"Cool, I have a Snivy." Hugh comments.

Suddenly, a newspaper blows into Hugh's face and he picks it off his face and reads the headline. He immediately scrunches it up in anger. He starts to stamp on it until he is out of breath.

"What's up with you?" I ask him. I want to know.

"That headline was commenting about how Team Plasma is back! I absolutely HATE them!" Hugh growls.

Mina gasps. Team Plasma were a group of people who tried to make people liberate their Pokemon. Loads of people actually did and ended up really depressed. And their leader was even worse! Two years ago, Team Plasma were disbanded because a girl called Hilda defeated their leader, and obtained Reshiram (a legendary Pokemon) in the process.

"Why do you hate them so much?" Mina asks. A dumb question, because EVERYONE hates them, but I was thinking the same thing.

"Because they stole my little sister's first Pokemon! It was her best friend! Purrloin and Tammy did everything together!" Hugh tells us. I feel sorry for Tammy immediately. Poor Tammy! Losing her Pokemon like that would have been terrible!

"I'm so sorry…" Mina says and pats Hugh on the back. I try to change the subject:

"Want to play soccer?"

"Nah, not in the mood." Hugh mutters. I think of something else:

"What about a Pokemon battle?"

Hugh then cracks a grin. I can tell that he's itching for one. I am as well.

"Let's do it!" He exclaims.

This chapter is kind of bad, I know. It's the first one though, and I'm terrible at writing them first. But you can still fave/follow this story, though! I'm not stopping you.

Next chapter, Poke-lover shall be adding the battle scene. Her writing is great so you better like it! I feel kind of sorry for Hugh about his sister, but am glad that he's taking his mind off of things.

Just so you know, Bianca IS going to be in this story as Professor Juniper's assistant, she just doesn't give them their starters. Next chapter will be exciting, so get ready for it!

Please: review, review and review!
