Author's note: Hi! This is the second time I am writing the prologue, so I hope it's at least a little better than the first. I hope you like it. I also want to wish everyone a wonderful new year filled with warmth, smiles, peace and joy, (sorry it's a little late.) Thank you.

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon, the characters, the game's storyline, or whatever else I forgot. Thank you.

Prologue, Rewritten

(Kate's P.O.V, past/dream)

I was crying, scared and crying. All alone, in the midst of many searing flames. Still, I had to keep on going. I had to because my partner, Cyndi, was in here. Cyndi is a pokémon, a cyndaquil. She isn't just that either. She is my partner, my partner and my best friend. That is why I must keep going. Cyndi may be a fire type pokémon, but even a fire type cannot withstand flames such as these. That's not to mention the way they put out the fire. They used water, CO2 and chemicals, all of which would be horrible for poor Cyndi.

I couldn't bear the thought of that, so I kept fighting through the fierce flames. I wish I could call out to Cyndi, but I am mute, so I cannot speak. I have been mute since I was born. I signed out to Cyndi in case she could see me. It was to no avail. I climbed up numerous flights of stairs, but there was still no sign of her. Eventually, I collapsed, and the world slowly faded around me. The last thing I saw was two people in red uniforms, with black and gold trim.

(Ringtown Ranger Base, a quite few years later)

"Solana! Oh, Solana," I signed. I was beginning to panic, as she had the letter that would decide the rest of my future!

"Are you okay!" Solana came rushing over. I guess she must have thought something huge had happened. It hadn't yet, but today was the day!

"Oh, now I get it. You want that letter, right?" Solana hung the letter just out of reach. I jumped up and snatched it out of her hands. I ripped open the envelope and stared in shock. The letter read,

Dear Katlyne,

I gave Solana a hug, and then rushed upstairs to pack my bags. This was going to be my real purpose, my destiny…

I'm sorry, I know this was still really short. I promise you it will get better, so please don't judge just based on this chapter! Anyways, I hope you liked this, and please review. Thank you! :)
