Hey everyone! Sailor Cupcake here bringing you the first chapter of Pokemon: [name goes here]! Thanks for taking the time to read our story. It took a LOT of hard work to finish even the first chapter!
Anyways, hope you enjoy!

Prologue: Episode 1: Warm Welcomes
Just before the two siblings (Miranda and her older brother, Pike) ripped each other's faces apart out of impatience of being stuck in a stuffy car for a long time (driving to their 'summer vacation'), they finally arrived.
*squish*
"EEEEEWWW! My designer shoes are ruined! There's poo all over them!" Is the first thing Miranda cries when she steps out of the sweaty car to her 'ideal vacation' –which happens to be a small country town with lots of farms and dirt – Ilex Town.
"I knew it! Farm people are short little stumps that do nothing but make your life miserable by making the ground dirty with poo!" comments Pike when he comes out, and also, steps on poo. "Mom! Dad! What sort of vacation is this?!"
"I'd rather be back at Mare City! I bet my friends are shopping for clothes while my dress is getting all dirty!"
"Yea! I wanna play my video games! I bet my friends are having fun without me playing soccer!" complains Pike when he realizes there's nothing to do in a dirty ranch. "I'm going to starve to death in this place! FOOD! I need real food, not cow poo!" he adds.
"Children, calm down! Look! There's the beautiful house we're staying in! I believe there's a TV inside!" says their mom, trying to cheer them up before the major breakdown that was probably coming soon after they discovered that they were living here. For their whole lives, they were meant to move here so they could become Pokemon trainers. That was their mother's plan.
"I hate this place!" the siblings yell in unison. They stomp off to their 'temporary' home.
Hiding behind some bushes next door a girl grumbles "City people!" An Eevee is on her shoulder, hissing and growling at the new visitors that arrived in their territory. "They are so obnoxious, selfish and stupid!"
"BUI!" the Eevee agrees.
"They'll experience the true meaning of karma when they come out again!"
"BUI! BUI!"
"Yes Kyu, good idea." She goes off to get a shovel.
"Why do we have to live in this dump?! THEY TRICKED US! They said we were going somewhere for 'vacation' better than Hawaii, and NOW they expect us to accept the fact that we're going to live in a deserted island of poo for the rest of our lives?!" cries Miranda dramatically.
"Well, at least we get freezies every day and there's a lake for us to swim in!" Pike says. He was always thinking of food. "Oh wait, maybe the lake's full of poo too!"
"NO! That would be terrible!" Miranda cries in despair…
*squish*
...and falls down.
"OH NO! NOT AGAIN! NOOO! MY DRESS AND MY SHOES, ALL DIRTY?!" Miranda falls to her knees and cries "WHY DOES THE WORLD HATE ME?!"
"It's not the world who hates you! It's all the stupid farm people's fault! Like I said before, farm people are stupid pieces of junk that waste their time gardening and taking care of cow crap," comments Pike–
*BONK!*
– when suddenly, a shovel clunks right on top of his head, slugging him unconscious.
Dramatic music plays.
"NOOOOOOO!" yells Miranda, "YOU SPLASHED ME WITH POO-COVERED MUD! GRRR!" She bursts into tears.
"We got a crier on our hands here, Kyu," a girl with black-brown hair says to her beloved Eevee sitting on her shoulder. Then she turns to Miranda."Haha! Serves you right for offending us, girly! For your stupid information, city people are the ones making the air toxic and taking our lands that give them milk, not to mention pretty much ALL THE FOOD YOU EAT!" She takes a breath. "And, girlies like you waste their money on CLOTHES and dump them in the city dump, which causes POLLUTION, when the dresses go out of fashion!" She glares at Miranda.
Miranda stopped crying at stared at the enemy. "Excuse-moi! But you have NO IDEA how much it sucks being here! Do you have any idea how much I tried to get a good reputation in school, how much I studied tpget good grades so I wouldn't end up as a hobo when I grow up, TO GET THIS?! LIVING IN THIS RANCH OF YOURS FILLED WITH POO AND NOTHING TO DO?!"
"BUI!"
"Fine, this girly kinda does have a reason to be upset," says the girl looking at her Eevee. "BUT, you have NO RIGHT to call us pieces of crap or stumps! We give city people food! And you treat us like this?" she snaps.
"WHY ARE YOU WEARING TROUSERS?! SO out of fashion! I suggest you actually COMB YOUR HAIR; it's so dirty! Oh, and a braid? So ugly!" Miranda says, ignoring her question.
"Oh, I never comb my hair and those trousers are my work clothes," the ranch girl explains.
"Pfffftttt!" Miranda snorts.
"Well, why waste money on a dress?" Analyn sneers.
"Yea, actually, why waste money on a dress?" Suddenly Pike's alive again.
"Shut up Pike! Go away!" Miranda says to Pike.
"You go away, you are in MY territory without ANY permission! Go away to your stupid friends in your stupid city dump."
"Bui..." her Eevee mewed in a warning tone, if possible, at the ranch girl.
"GUESS WHAT NERDY PANTS?! IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT THE HOUSE BESIDE YOURS IS MY HOUSE! AND I HAVE TO LIVE HERE FOR MY ENTIRE-entire… L-life!" Miranda trembles and cries.
"Bui, bui!" the Eevee chirps.
"Well, Kyu can tell that your not lying…and since she won't stop nagging me to apologize, uhh...sorry," she apologizes.
"Sorry won't bring me back home," Miranda whispers and cries.
*awkward silence and crying*
"YUMMMM! Did you make this? This is delicious, and now that I'm gonna live here forever, I get to steal all your cookies!" Pike says eating a cookie that just so happened to be in the farm girl's trouser pocket (in a Ziploc, of course. She's not uncivilized).
"HEY! YOU THIEF, MY COOKIE!" Just before she bonks the big bump on Pike's head again, Miranda gets up and pulls Pike's left ear and drags him away.
"And you better get me a new dress, sissy!" Miranda glares.
*SLAM!*
Miranda slams the door to her house, which WAS right next to the ranch, so hard that the Eevee girl flinches.
The girl, who is known as Analyn, suddenly hears screams, bangs, and cries.
"Whoa, that girly has some attitude...but I guess it's not her fault she moved in next to us."
"BUI!" Kyu cried insistently.
"Hey don't boss me around like that Kyu! She called me ugly! I'll apologize when she does, but I will never get her a new dress, EVER". Analyn stomps off to her house, forgetting about her chores, in a bad mood.
When Analyn gets to her rustic-styled room, she suddenly hears crying, yelling and slamming. She looks through her bay window and discovers that unfortunately, the girly's room is conveniently right across from hers. "Ah, great," Analyn curses under her breath.
"BUI!" (Go over and apologize right now!)
Analyn doesn't get a chance to respond because it she sees Miranda reading a Sailor Moon manga. It had looked like she'd calmed down, when her dad came in, telling her she's grounded for fighting with her brother (Analyn had excellent hearing). He takes her book away, which is when Miranda starts crying again. Suddenly, a pang of sympathy hits Analyn's heart. She knows how it feels, loving to read herself. She got caught reading past her bedtime sometimes, which is when her parents would get mad at her too.
"Bui!" Kyu nudges her hand.
"Fine! I'll ask Aunt Ling to make her a dress, happy?"
Later, Analyn takes a deep breath and opens her bedroom window (which is across from Miranda's and really close too). She can't see but fortunately, perhaps by luck, manages to cross into the other open window. She jumps in, when she hears a shriek.
"Please don't kill me, please don't kill me, I was just in a bad mood, I didn't mean to pull my brother's ears." Miranda quietly prays.
"Uhh… It's alright, I'm not going to hurt you." Miranda peeks with one eye, and when she realizes it's not the scary ghost that was going to kill her for pulling her brother's ears (too many horror movies), she glares at the intruder, Analyn.
"What do you want? This is all your fault."
" I know, I know, and actually I came here to apologize, really." Analyn hands her a plastic bag. "I wasn't sure what colour you liked or what size you were, but I estimated. The colours look kinda girly so I guessed you'd like it."
"Bui!"
"Oh, and by the way, it's not fancy cause it would be a waste to get a fancy dress in this dirty place. You can wear it as casual or everyday clothes, but it's still pretty cute...My aunt Ling makes the best dresses in the world, in my opinion." With that, she hops back to her room. She watches Miranda take the dress out and gasp. It looks like she likes it! Miranda puts it on and stares at her reflection in the mirror. Analyn breathes out a breath she was holding in for a long time, and reaches for her Naruto manga.
When Analyn looks back through her window into the girly's room, she sees Miranda fallen asleep on the floor with the dress still on. Analyn smiles. "She's not so bad...maybe, just maybe, she's worthy to be a trainer…"
