*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Wake up Mariana!"
"Huh?" Mariana asked groggily, sticking her head out of her shell.
"Come ON Mariana, you silly Squirtle! Nurse Joy's brought some new pokemon to the orphanage!" Ariella replied.
"Really? How cool!" Together, they dashed down from the sleeping loft to the main area of the orphanage, where they lived most of the time, when they weren't outside or asleep in the loft.
"Oh, that's everyone now! I'd like you to meet Boofca the Cleffa, Sandy the Sandshrew, and Charmander!"
"Hi! I'm Ariella, the Jigglypuff!"
"I'm Mariana"
"Jigglypuff, but you can call me Jiggly!"
"Bite Me."
"Sheep!"
And so on it went, 'til everyone was introduced. Eventually, everyone went outside to play the new game Nurse Joy taught them, except for Boofca and Airella. As Airella wandered over to her, she could hear her crying, and muttering something like "I miss Michelle!"
"Are you all right, Boofca?"
"No! I miss my old trainer, and my parents, and EVERYTHING STINKS HERE!"
"Clam down! We've all been abandoned too, and we know it's hard, but it'll be OK" Ariella said, in an attempt to calm her down, but it only succeed in causing her to cry HARDER.
"What's wrong, Boofca?" Mariana asked, entering the room.
"She's sad, 'cos she misses her trainer and her parents" Ariella replied.
"Oh. Hey, Boofca, do you like to dance?" Mariana asked.
She stopped crying, and meekly replied "Uh-huh. I really like dancing."
"Well, Jiggly likes dancing too" Airella said, semi-cheerfully.
"Would she play with me?"
"Maybe, if you asked her nicely."
"Asked who?" Jiggly said, entering the room with Sandy and the "Triplets", Odelia Mara, and Stella.
"Boofca wants to dance"
"Great! Do you know how to dance?"
Boofca shook her head no.
"OK, let me teach you!" Jiggly exclaimed, taking Boofca to another part of the room.
"Now"
"What do"
"We do?"
"Do they ALWAYS speak like that?" Sandy whispered to Airella and Mariana.
" 'Fraid so" Airella replied.
"We are"
"Very, very"
"Hungry!"
"Well, I think Nurse Joy's handing out PokeChow," Sandy replied.
"Let's EAT then!" Airella said, dashing outside, dragging Mariana and Sandy each by one hand, with the triplets not far behind.
"There you are! I was wondering when you would all come out to eat!" Nurse Joy exclaimed at the sight of Airella, Sandy, Mariana, and the Triplets.
"Food!" They cried, but to Joy, it sounded like an assortment of pokemon cries and calls.
"You're hungry, aren't you? Well, here you are some nice, fresh PokeChow! Enjoy guys!"
"Isn't the food yummy?" Chardina asked, joining the group.
"You"
"Said"
"It!"
"Are the others going to join us, too?" Sandy asked.
"Yeah, when Nurse Joy gives them some food."
"Here we are!" cried Trevor, coming over to the group, with Blastoise, Sheep, Kakuna, Coolbear and Charmander not far behind.
"So, aren't Rattata and Grizzy coming, too?"
"Later, Charmander. They went to go get Boofca and Jiggly."
"Oh."
They continued to eat in silence, until Boofca came up, along with Rattata, Grizzy, and Jiggly, eagerly talking about how nice Jiggly could sing, and that she and Grizzy learned how to do the Electric Slide.
"Great, Boofca!"
"Well, I see all of you have eaten, so I'll be off to the Pokemon Center now. Be good, all of you!"
The group chorused a loud "Good-Bye!" then all headed inside to play and relax for a while, as it was getting too dark to continue playing outside. Later, after most of them headed up to the loft to get ready to go to sleep, Chardina stayed behind. Mariana, concerned, went to go speak to her, to see if everything was all right.
"Is everything OK, Chardina?"
"Yeah, Mariana."
"You sure?"
"Sort of."
"Come on, what's wrong?"
"Well..."
"Hey! Aren't you two coming?" Rattata interrupted.
"Tell me sometime." Mariana said, as she followed Rattata up the steps to the loft.
"Fine, later." Chardina replied, before darting up the steps.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So, ya gonna tell us what's wrong?" Airella asked Chardina the next day at breakfast.
"You!? No! I was only gonna tell Mariana..."
"Well, word got around," Grizzy replied, taking a seat between Trevor and Kakuna.
"Well, fine! But just wait 'til Mariana gets here, first."
"Oh, come on tell us now!"
"I'm here!" Mariana cried, "So, what's up guys?"
"The sky," replied a still semi-cranky Coolbear, who obviously wasn't a morning pokemon.
"Oh, shut up!" snapped Rattata. "I want to hear!"
"You first!"
"NO, you!"
"you!"
"you!"
"BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP!!!!!" Kakuna cried.
"Wow. I didn't know he could talk," Trevor whispered to Blastoise.
"I guess he's more of a quiet-type pokemon," replied Blastoise.
"ANYWAY, " started Chardina, "I was wondering, if any of you wondered what life was like outside of these orphanage walls."
"Huh?"
"What do you mean?" questioned Jiggly uncertainly.
"I mean, has anyone wondered about what's outside of the walls?"
"I know what it's like!"
"Yeah, we know, Boofca, you only got here yesterday!"
"Yeah, but..."
"But what, Charmander?"
"Nevermind."
"Well, I think we should stay here."
"You sure, Sandy?"
"Yeah."
"It's not fair"
"To Nurse Joy"
"If we go."
"The triplets are right."
"Fine. It was just a crazy idea."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A few months later...
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Play with me!" Boofca cried to Blastoise, who was TRYING to watch TV.
"Oh fine. What do you want to play?"
"I wanna Dance!"
"You always want to dance!" Jiggly cried, entering the room with Charmander and Coolbear.
"Yeah, but it's fun!" replied Boofca, as she dragged Jiggly into an impromptu Tango. Quickly, Charmander, Coolbear, and Blastoise slipped outside, to avoid having to play with the young Cleffa as well.
"Hey guys! Airella said, greeting the trio, "Sandy just suggested we play hide-and-seek. Wanna join?"
"Well, all right." Said Charmander.
"Who's playing?"
"Er, Mariana, Odelia, Mara, Stella, Rattata, Sandy, Trevor, Kakuna, Sheep, Grizzy, me, and Chardina."
"OK. Who's it?"
"Rattata."
Rattata joined the four pokemon, going, if you're gonna play, you'd better hide now! I'm gonna count to 100! So go!"
"Can you even count that high?" muttered Coolbear, before dashing off to hide.
"1,2, 3,"
TWENTY MINUTES LATER…
"100! Ready or not, here I come!"
Mariana, in her search for the perfect hiding spot, came across discarded PokeDex Nurse Joy must have dropped. She accidentally opened it, and was entranced by the amazing amounts of information it held. "Oh, here's my entry. I wonder what it says."
"Squirtle, the tiny-turtle pokemon. With powerful water-type attacks like..."
"Work you dumb PokeDex! I wanna know more about me!"
"I found you!"
"Be quiet Rattata."
"Whatcha got there?"
"An old PokeDex."
"Let me see!"
"It doesn't work." Mariana said sighing.
"Can I see it anyway?"
"Fine." Mariana handed Rattata the PokeDex.
"What's going on?" asked Trevor, coming out from behind a bush.
"This PokeDex doesn't work."
"Maybe I can fix it."
"Well, OK" Rattata replied uncertiantly, handing Trevor the PokeDex.
Trevor immediately whacked the PokeDex.
"Hey! Don't do that!" Mariana shouted, snatching back the PokeDex.
"Every time a trainer reaches 10 years of age, they can go on a Pokemon Journey, collecting and battling pokemon to become a Pokemon Master." chirped the PokeDex.
"Well, it works."
"What does it mean, 'Battling Pokemon?' "
"I dunno."
"It MEANS they catch pokemon like us to use in battles against other people's pokemon! Don't you remember? We were caught, then abandoned!"
"I never was caught. I've been here since I was born."
"Me too, Mariana."
"What's taking so long?" questioned Chardina, climbing down from a tree.
"We've been hiding forever!" added Blastoise.
"Yeah, Rattata, you're supposed to LOOK for us!" snapped Grizzy.
"Oh, sorry."
"Well, I guess the game's over." said Charmander, coming out of his hiding spot.
Within a few minutes, the others, Kakuna, Coolbear, the Triplets, Sandy, Sheep, and Airella, had also joined the group.
"What's that?" asked Sandy.
"A PokeDex." replied Rattata.
"A Poke-what?"
"A POKE DEX!" shouted Mariana.
"Oh."
"What does it do?" said Charmander.
"It holds information on every single pokemon" answered Jiggly knowingly, coming down with Boofca to join the group.
"You mean, it'll have info on ME?" yelped Airella.
"And me?"
"Me too?"
"Yep!"
"COOL!"
For a few hours, the little electronic thing entranced the pokemon. Then, Boofca suddenly said, "I'd like to see a Chickorita."
"Yeah, but I wanna meet a Charizard!" added Charmander
"Or a Farfetch'd! That'd be cool!" said Trevor with enthusiasm.
"Ooo! A Wigglytuff!" joined in Jiggly.
"It'd be great to meet a Mew." Mariana sighed.
"Well, why don't we go?"
"Whatever do you mean, Blastoise?"
"He means, let's go on our own Pokemon Journey!" shouted Airella.
"But how?" asked Jiggly.
"We can't"
"Earn any"
"Badges."
"So! Let's just go on an adventure, then!" suggested Cyndaquil.
"To do what?" questioned Sandy.
"I don't know! Let's go just to go!" chirped Boofca.
"I know! Let's go to meet new pokemon!" cried Mariana.
"To make"
"Some new"
"Friends!"
"To see outside these orphanage walls!" added Rattata.
"To have a lot of fun!"
"For the sake of some excitement!"
"What about Nurse Joy?" asked Sandy.
"Yeah, won't she be worried?"
"She'll be OK. Besides, we can come back and visit!"
"Well, okay."
"What are we waiting for! Let's get going!"
"WAIT!" screamed Chardina.
"Yeah?"
"Bite Me."
"Buzz off."
"Sheep! Coolbear!"
"How are we gonna get out?"
"Easy. Just watch." And with that, Sandy dug a hole under the orphanage fence.
"Well, what are we waiting for?"
"We should pack some stuff, first."
"And write Nurse Joy's note."
"Well, then hurry up." Grizzy muttered.
"Is everyone ready NOW?"
"Yeah!"
"Well then,"
"Let's get"
"Going!"
And with that, the group of pokemon crawled under the fence, to a world none of them had experienced living in, to start the adventure of a lifetime.

" 'Fraid so" Airella replied.
"We are"
"Very, very"
"Hungry!"
"Well, I think Nurse Joy's handing out PokeChow," Sandy replied.
"Let's EAT then!" Airella said, dashing outside, dragging Mariana and Sandy each by one hand, with the triplets not far behind.
"There you are! I was wondering when you would all come out to eat!" Nurse Joy exclaimed at the sight of Airella, Sandy, Mariana, and the Triplets.
"Food!" They cried, but to Joy, it sounded like an assortment of pokemon cries and calls.
"You're hungry, aren't you? Well, here you are some nice, fresh PokeChow! Enjoy guys!"
"Isn't the food yummy?" Chardina asked, joining the group.

"Are the others going to join us, too?" Sandy asked.
