CHAPTER 1 .:;:. Sonata Shirot

My name is Sonata Shirot. I'm just about 17. I become said age tomorrow, the day I receive my first Pokemon. I live in Riki Town, of the Northern Marsen Region. I got my trainer license a few days ago from Professor Palm, herself. She wanted me and my friend Brandon to come to the lab to become official Professor Trainers. See, Professor Trainers are a little different than normal trainers. The region Pokemon expert usually only has a few trainers working for them every five years or so. Professor trainers are also, for some reason, usually given gold type trainer cards. Each Trainer in the region has a card defining who they are. Without it, they can't legally battle with their Pokemon. The color of the card determines some different things depending on the card type. Silver Cards are the lowest rank, given to any trainer. The Silver card will allow the trainer to stay at any Pokemon Center for free, and they are able to challenge the Marsen League. Gold cards allow the same thing, but they get to use the Pokemon Center Cafeteria for free, so that was always nice. Platinum cards can do all of that, but also act like a VIP service for the Marsen League. Platinum holders are allowed to go straight to the gym leader without having to go through gym trainers. Platinum card holders have to meet the requirements of having a level 40 team and have at least 3 official League Badges before taking the Platinum card test. That doesn't matter though, It's still exciting that I'm becoming a Trainer, Period! I still can't believe it! Brandon seemed excited, as well. Who wouldn't be, It's one of the best jobs in the entire world. I'm wearing my official Trainer outfit my mom had bought just yesterday. It consisted of a blue pullover hoodie with a central pocket. It was an Xtra Large, just how I liked it. Maybe because I'm a skinny guy. I'm only about 5'9" so having an Xtra large shirt seemed off, But I liked it because it was comfy. Under that was a black rashguard with a blue X across it that clung to my skin like glue. Except I could pull it off easily. My pants were black and a little baggy. They had a distinctive white line just past my knee that showed off where they could become shorts. It would be great if I ever traveled to Corok Town. They were a hot spring town in the southern Marsen Region, so it's most likely going to be really hot down there. That's a matter for another time, though. My hair is naturally white, and it's really spiky. And fluffy. It's like a puff on my head, and I won't have it any other way. My trainer bag is a simple messenger bag with a black body and blue flap. I don't know how I'll be able to sleep tonight. My dad knocked on the door, a device in his hand.

"Thought you might want this." He said before lobbing the thing at me. I almost dropped it, but caught the thing, barely. It looked like some sort of… Bracer. It had two distinct colors, being split horizontally. the top was black, the bottom was blue. Where the wrist was was a screen and some buttons under it. There was a little slot right next to it, as well.

"What is this?"

"It's a X-Transceiver. You can call and make calls with it, along with checking a map of the entire region. We're already in there, along with the Professor. It's yours, now." He said. I put it on and it felt… Right. Dad walked over to me and motioned for my wrist. He took it and placed a glowing-ish stone into the slot. I examined it a little more closely. Some sort of symbol was inside it.

"I used that on my Pokemon adventure before you were born. It's actually how I met your mother, Serena. She was a trainer just like me. It's actually why she had trouble choosing to let you go on a journey like you are. We stopped a man named Lysandre from killing literally everyone. I even caught the Pokemon they resurrected for this purpose, Xerneas.

"The same Xerneas that I rode on as a kid?"

"The same one. It's doing well at Professor Sycamore's lab back in the Kalos Region.

"Didn't you also catch a Mewtwo?"

"He got away, unfortunately."

"Say, what exactly does this stone do?"

"Let's just say that it helped me on my journey. Korrina wouldn't let me hear the end of it when I couldn't use it. When the time is right, you'll know what to do."

"Calem! Where'd you go?" That's my mom, Serena. She was my dad's old friend back in the Kalos Region. I don't know how he did it, but I'm glad he married my mom.

"I'm still not sure if I should let you go, Sonata." She said. A worried expression grew across her face. Dad reached around and pulled her in close.

"Serena, I'm sure he'll be fine. Come on, he's the child of the Kalos Region Champion."

"Former. I took your place after a year."

"That's also when I proposed to you."

"Yes. and then, 6 months later, I got beaten by Valerie who liked the idea of being a beautiful champion like Diantha."

"She was beautiful, alright." Mom then smacked my dad across the head.

"Yes, I'm sure you thought she was beautiful when she took advantage of you after you beat her."

"What? That was 20 year's ago. I can't help that I get tired when my Pokemon are tired"

"Yes, yes, I know. Anyway, Sonata. You should get some sleep. It's eleven at night. I know your excited and all, but you still need your rest."

"Alright, mom."I told her. They left the room, leaving me to wonder how this Xtransceiver thing worked. I'll probably figure it out in time, so I put it away. I stripped down to my boxers and my rashguard, placing the other clothes on my desk. Turning off the lights, I climbed into my bed, letting my mind drift into the darkness of sleep.

WELCOME, To a collaboration between, you guessed it, HillianLink and Tsuzihri_07. We came together a couple days ago, as of typing this A/N, and decided that it would be a boatload of fun to write a collaboration story. It will be glorious. I don't know where this is going to go, but it's going to go. If you are wondering about our other stories, those will stay perfectly awesome as they are, I can guarantee that. Come now, Link has like, 6 stories going on at the same time, seven with this one. Well, he owns half the story because chapter by chapter, we change who is narrating the story. First chapter is my OC of universal acceptance, Sonata. Link will be using who he is using, so I won't spoil it until I upload his chapter.

Want to support this story like you do every other of our stories? Go ahead and follow this thing so you can get an alert when either of us sits down to type. You can expect FREQUENT updates from me because I have no life other than talking with my girlfriend over Skype and writing Fanfictions. Also, Pokemon. Link has a life outside of this, so yeah. He's still awesome, though. You really like the story so far? even though it's a simple introduction? Leave a favorite! It's always good to see that you added this story to your expansive favorites list. If you want to ask a question, or tell me how I did, go ahead and leave a review. That'll be all for me. Next chapter, Link's turn to write!

As always, Keep Sparki
