Ash, Brock, and Misty walked along the street in the city they had arrived in. Pikachu trotted happily at Ash's side, while Togepi rode safely in Misty's arms.
"What do you think, guys?" Ash asked his friends. "Should we stop at the Pokémon Center? I'm pretty tired from all this walking."
"That sounds good," Brock agreed. "The center's just a bit further ahead." He pointed to the building across the street from them. The trio was about to enter the Pokémon Center, when suddenly, a boy ran right into them. He recovered quickly and looked at Ash, Brock, and Misty.
"I'm sorry," he panted. He carried a weak Flaaffy in his arms. "I was in such a hurry that I didn't see you."
"That's okay," Misty said. "But what's the big rush? Is something wrong with your Flaaffy?"
"It got beaten pretty bad in a battle," the boy explained. "This girl I was battling had really tough Pokémon. I barely made a scratch on them!" Ash perked up at this. He was always looking for big challenges.
"Really?" Ash asked. The boy nodded. "Wow! Which way did this girl go?"
"Last time I saw her, she went to the river," the boy said. He looked off in a direction. "It's not far from the city. Anyway, I have to get Flaaffy healed."
"Okay," Ash said. The boy disappeared into the Pokémon Center, while Ash and his friends ran off towards the river.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I don't see her anywhere," Misty said. She and the others had made their way to the river, but there was no sign of the girl.
"Maybe we should take a break," Brock suggested. "We can always look for her later." Ash sighed and nodded. He had really wanted to find that girl and challenge her to a battle. Pikachu copied his sigh. They all sat down under a tree next to the river. Golden sunlight poured through the leaves, making small patterns on the grass. Ash started to nod off, when something hit his head from above.
"What's this?" Ash asked, rubbing his head. He picked up the half-eaten apple that fell from the tree.
"Looks like something's been eating it," Misty said. Togepi started chirping happily at something up in the tree. "What is it, Togepi?" She looked up and saw a Pichu staring down at them from the tree.
"Hey, look you guys," Misty said again. "It's a Pichu!" Ash, Brock, and Pikachu looked up at the Pichu. It made a motion with its small paws that suggested it wanted the apple back.
"I wonder if that's a wild Pichu," Ash said. Brock picked the apple off the ground and tossed it back up to the little electric mouse. The Pichu caught with a bit of difficulty, then started eating it again.
"I don't know, Ash," Brock said. "It probably is, since it's out here all by itself."
"Then maybe I can capture it!" Ash said, standing up. The Pichu seemed to know what Ash was going to try and do, because it dropped the apple and bolted away.
"I don't think it wanted you to capture it, Ash," Misty said.
"Let's follow it!" Ash said. He ran off after the Pichu with Pikachu at his side. Brock and Misty had no choice but to follow him. They ran along the river for some ways, when they saw the Pichu run towards a girl sitting on the edge of the river.
The girl was dressed completely in black. Her long, brown hair was pulled back into a loose, waist-length braid, showing her long, crystal- like earrings. A silver feather hung from her neck. Silver-framed glasses covered her lightning-blue eyes. She looked like she was drawing on a sketch pad. The Pichu quickly ran up to her, and climbed on her shoulder. Ash and the others stopped in front of her.
"Is that your Pichu?" Ash asked. The girl looked up at them and nodded.
"Yes," she replied. "Did you think it was wild?"
"Well, yeah," Ash said a little sheepishly. "We're sorry."
"Don't worry about it," the girl assured. "Lots of trainers think Pichu's wild when she's out on her own. She likes to go off by herself sometimes. I don't worry that much because she has good instincts."
"You're right about that," Brock said. "Your Pichu ran off when Ash was going to try and capture it."
"Well, I can't blame you for trying to capture her," the girl said. "Pichu's practically one-of-a-kind in my book." She stroked the Pichu's fur softly.
"By the way, my name's Ash," Ash said. "These are my friends, Brock and Misty. And this is my Pikachu."
"My name's Laura," the girl said. "It's nice to meet you guys."
"So, you said that your Pichu's practically one-of-a-kind?" Misty asked. "How come?"
"To tell you the truth, I don't really know," Laura admitted. "I just know there's something special about her. And I know there's something special about all my other Pokemon. Plus, they're really strong, too."
"Really strong?" Ash questioned. "Like how strong?" He had a feeling that this was the girl he was looking for.
"Kick-butt strong," Laura said. "Why, just a little while ago, I battle this kid with a Flaaffy. He barely even scratched my Pokémon, truthfully."
"Then you're the person I've been looking for!" Ash exclaimed, excited. "I challenge you to a Pokémon battle!" Laura put her sketch pad in her bag and stood up with Pichu on her shoulder.
"You're on," Laura said. "If it's a battle you want, it's a battle you'll get." Ash smiled and went to get his Pokemon prepared.
'I hope you're ready, Ash,' Laura thought, 'because I'll bet you've never faced a Pokémon trainer like me before.'

Shinimegami: Hehe, almost like a cliffhanger, huh?
Lugia: You've always liked doing cliffhangers.
Shinimegami: Yep.
Lugia: By the way, are you going to do the fan mail thing you did in your other fics?
Shinimegami: Oh yah, I almost forgot about that. *looks at the readers* Heh, in my other fics, I do a thing with fan mail. It's when you get to send items to the Pokémon cast in your reviews. You can send anything you'd like! For some examples, you can see my other fics. ^.^
Lugia: Don't forget the other part.
Shinimegami: Oh yah. Once again, the fan mail idea doesn't belong to me. The credit for the idea for fan mail goes to Wingzero.
Lugia: Do you think I'll get anything?
Shinimegami: You might, but the reviewers will probably send stuff to the original Pokémon cast. But don't worry, I'll always give you stuff.
Lugia: Okay. ^.^
Shinimegami: Anyway, that's the first chappie! I hope you liked it! So R&R, and I'll see you all in the next chapter! Ja Ne! ^.^
Lugia: What's it about?
