Okay, so I'd like to list some things right off the bat. First, I may make up some Pokemon up or change some evolutions. Second, people and pokemon die, it happens in real life. Third, music, video games, television shows, movies, and many forms of technology that are in our world will show up in Sapphira's world. Fourth, the world I am righting about will be referred to as "Sapphira's world". Fifth, there will be a lot of time travel, magics, and parellel dimensions in later chapters, REALLYlater chapters. Sixth, there may be some cameo's from the Anime and/or video games. That's all I can think of but I'll probably list some other things in the next chapter, I don't mean to sound strict or uptight (I really don't :( ) but I just want people to know some of the things that will appear in this story. Also there will be a standard disclaimer right below.

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon. I do not own any rights to mentioned technologies, Television shows, video games, movies, or music. I only reserve the rights to ideas, story plots, characters.


Chapter 1 - Abandonment

"Alex!" I yelled at my boyfriend, angry that he had taken my Xbox controller from me. I looked up at him disapprovingly, he only grinned back.

"Sapphira!" He yelled back mockingly, he pressed random buttons on the controller and ended up failing the round of zombies for me. I got up on the couch and lunged forward towards him and knocked him over and I ended up on top of him looking furious.

He narrowed his eyes and tried to shove me off but I stayed firm in my position when he finally gave up I took a position where I was straddling him, and I refused to move. He got on his elbows and leaned forward to my face; smiling slyly he gently kissed me.

I was a bit flustered when he did so; he took that opportunity and lifted me off of him. He sat on his knees with a sad smile, "Sapphira, I need to talk with you."

I frowned when he said that, I knew there was going to be bad news. My Eevee, Ashes jumped from the top of the couch, I put my hand out for him to rub against. I sat there petting Ashes as Alex got ready to tell me the news.

"I-I'm going on my adventure in about month…" He told me quietly, we were both silent for a moment.

I bit my lip and quickly whispered, "A-a month?"

"Yes Sapph, a month. This is when I turn sixteen." He stated the corners of his mouth upturned slightly.

"Well, you'll visit right?" I asked with concern in my voice.

"Not for a while they're dropping me off in Littleroot." He said negatively. I stood up, and held out my hand for him. He took it and I pulled him up, which took a lot of energy because he was a lot bigger than me, he was really tall and muscular.

He turned towards the door, "Where are you going?" I asked, hoping we could spend some time together.

"I'm going to train with Paul, why don't you get some studying done? I know you have that biology test tomorrow." He said simply, he grabbed his backpack from the hook near the door and left quickly obviously wanting to leave the awkward situation.

I sighed and held back my tears; I knew he would have to leave sometime but still. He would be gone for such a long time… I went back over to the couch and Ashes jumped on to my lap. I petted him for a while whilst I rethought not going for the Pokémon league challenge. I picked up the phone from the end table and dialed the schools number.

"Hello? This is the Pokémon league department." A lady answered.

I bit my lip then said, "Hello this is Sapphira Fletcher, I would like to withdraw my previous answer. I will take the league challenge."

Twenty-nine days later…

"So Alex, what Pokémon are taking with you?" I asked curiously, we both sat on the couch watching House M.D. His arm wrapped around me.

"I was thinking Magikarp." He said jokingly, I smiled widely.

"Seriously though, which one?" I asked giggling.

"Dunno, we'll see." I frowned; disappointed that he hadn't already picked one out.

"I'd certainly like to see you pick Torchic. A fire/fighting type, you know like you hot and athletic." I complemented him.

He chuckled, "Well then, I'm getting a Torchic."

The next day at 6:30 P.M…

"We are here to see off one of our top students, Alex Ilexia go off on his adventure to complete the Pokémon league challenge! He will now pick from the selection of Pokémon and will give his speech." The dean of students Mr. Shiftly announced, Alex stood up from the chair he sat in and quickly picked the Pokéball for the Torchic.

He took the microphone from Mr. Shiftly and said, "I'd like to say that this is one of the happiest moments of my life. I chose Torchic because well I didn't have any idea what Pokémon I wanted, they all seem so great but Sapph told me that a Torchic would be good for me and I trust her and know that this will be a good choice now if Mr. Shiftly doesn't mind I'd like Sapph to come up and say something because without her I don't know if I would have anything to make me strive to become the best Pokémon trainer ever."

I slumped in my seat, I hated going and speaking publicly. And of course Mr. Shiftly said that it would be just fine for me to go up. I got up from my seat and walked towards the stage, I mouthed the words 'I hate you so much!' and he mouthed back 'Love you too!'

I took the microphone from Alex and took a deep breath, "Well I've been dating Alex for two years now, and I know that he can do this. But not without challenge, there are so many trainers out there many of which are powerful, and then there are the even stronger gym leaders. I still believe that he can do it, because he'll have me backing him up the whole way. I'll miss him but I'll see him soon because I've rethought about going on the same challenge. So Alex, you've got your first rival!"

I smiled at him weakly, and he stared at me stupefied as the crowd cheered for us, "But what about being a doctor?"

"I can resume my studies when I finish." I retort, now frowning hurt by what he said.

"But why?" He asked, his tone more harsh. I almost winced.

"Well, I already wanted to and I also wanted be with you, to support you." He still looked at me dumbfounded. He just walked off of the stage, which made my heart shatter.

One hour later…

"I'm really sorry I acted like that Sapph. I just don't want you screwing your chances of becoming a doctor up." He apologized, he tried to touch me but I backed up, unsure about him. Then I immediately regretted it, we've been together for two years it just can't stop now.

"I-I have to leave now, I'm sorry." He said walking away. I stood there immobilized with fear, Don't just let him go you idiot! Move!

I had gotten so used to him protecting me, supporting me, I used to be strong and brave but being with him for so long had weakened me. Now I couldn't even get it together when he was leaving.

You cradled me for so long, you protected me from fear, pain, and sadness, you let me get weak. And now you're just leaving? For me to fend for myself own after so long?

He had closed the door, I was now on my own. I fell to my knees tears streaming down my face, "H-he's abandoning me?"
