Chapter 1
My name is Melody. I am thirteen years old. I can't hear out of my right ear. I live in an alley. My parents were killed by a mysterious trainer who said he was working for "Team Stellar." He used a Gyarados, and a Gyarados only. His Gyarados used Bite. My parents implored him to spare me, but I would have died if not for a trainer named Ash, and his wife Misty. His Gyarados used Bite aimed at me, but it didn't quite hit. It grazed a section of my head and messed up my hearing and vision. My one goal is to destroy Team Stellar. My parents are dead because they resisted Team Stellar. These criminals use Pokémon to kill anyone who opposes their rule.
I awoke in my alley on December 12th. Eevee was sleeping next to me and I gently nudged her. "Wake up you lazy butt!" I whispered. I smiled. Eevee was always slow in the mornings.
I found Eevee wandering the streets when I was eight, three years after my parents' death. Eevee is an incredibly strong Pokémon. I nursed Eevee back to health when I found her and we have been partners ever since.
"Eevee?" Eevee muttered in her sleep.
"Food." I said with a bored tone. Eevee snapped awake.
"Eevee!" Eevee squealed.
"You're crazy, Eevee." I muttered.
Eevee and I crept out of our alley in one of the remaining cities not controlled by Team Stellar. We walked over to the market and scrounged the ground for any money, change or bills. At the end of the hour, we had collected four dollars and eighteen cents. I cursed. We needed five dollars at a minimum to buy bread from the baker who kindly lowers the price for us. He knows our situation and is very nice about it. Others? They wave a broom or something at me and threaten me when I walk up to their food stands. I'm a dirty brat, apparently. He said he would adopt me, (and Eevee, we're a package), but he has a house of five boys. I walked up to the bakery and Eevee followed. We went inside after hesitating and I placed my money on the counter.
The baker came out from behind the door to the kitchen.
"Is this it?" He asked. "Yup." I replied. "You know I can make any exception, and I think this is close enough." I smiled gratefully. "Thank you." I said. I took the loaf of bread and broke off a chunk. I popped it into my mouth and broke off another piece, which I gave to Eevee, who ate it happily. We thanked the baker and went back to the alley.
On our way, we passed the food stand where there sits a lady who absolutely despises me and Eevee.
"So, your stupid little Eevee hasn't even evolved after all these years? What a horrible trainer." She said. "Oh? Do you want to see how 'stupid' my Eevee is?" I retorted. "Now, you know how if you lose, you owe me money, right?" She said.
"Oh, really. Who made that up? You?" I remarked.
A passerby whispered into my ear that it was a common thing to pay the winner a few dollars. I sighed, embarrassed. "We got this." I told Eevee. Moving to an open space, the lady sent out her Quilava and the battle began.
"Eevee use Tackle!" I shouted, Eevee being about twenty feet from me. Eevee rammed into the lady's Quilava and it fell to the ground.
"Yes!" I cheered. "Go Eevee!" The Quilava got up and was told to use Ember. Eevee dodged and I shouted for her to use Tackle again. The Quilava was ready this time, however, and was only moved backwards slightly as Eevee ran into it. Eevee ran back to me and jumped into my arms.
"Your pathetic little Eevee is scared! Why don't you forfeit?" The lady taunted.
"Never!" I shouted. "Eevee, what's wrong?"
Suddenly, Eevee began to glow. I dropped Eevee in surprise as she started to get bigger. When the glow had faded, Eevee was light blue and she had diamonds on her back. "E-Eevee," I stammered, "You evolved into Glaceon! Let's see who is the horrible trainer now."
The battle was wrapped up as Glaceon used a powerful Ice Fang and a extra powerful Blizzard, because of the temperature already being very cold.
Continuing back to our alley, I gasped when I saw a Pokédex lying on the ground. It hadn't even been programmed to whose it was! I picked it up and programmed my name and some other data into it. I pointed the Pokédex at my new Glaceon and it said, "Glaceon, the Fresh Snow Pokémon. By controlling its body heat, it can freeze the atmosphere around it to make a diamond-dust flurry. It lowers its body heat to freeze its fur. The hairs then become needles it can fire." It told me that Glaceon learned the moves Ice Fang and Blizzard. "Wow, Eevee, I mean Glaceon. You must be like level seventy to learn Blizzard. So now you know Ice Fang, Blizzard, Tackle, and Tail Whip." I said. I knew then that it was time to challenge Team Stellar.
After gathering my few belongings, including my new Pokédex, Glaceon and I set out for the place where my parents were killed.
