One day, I found out about the news when I was seven years old. My brother,Nate, has a disease called dyslexia and my dad lives in Accumula Town and works along side Professor Juniper in Numeva Town. It all started on our way home from school. "I'll go get the mail." said Nate. I nodded my head in approval as he left. I was about to open the door when I heard Dad's voice. "I heard what happened at school and I'm here to pick up Nate." "When are you leaving guys leaving for Accumula Town?"
"What? Nate's leaving!?" I thought, "He can't be!" Fortunately Nate was having troubles getting the mail thanks to their Herdier! "We're leaving tomorrow at noon." I felt a hand touch her shoulder and jumped."Shh! The kids are coming! We'll talk about it later!" I opened the door and whispered, "I'll tell you later!" Nate shrugged as he followed me inside.
Our eyes lit up when they saw a familiar welcome. We ran to our dad with excitement, while wondering how long he's staying. After each of us gave Dad a hug we gave one to Mom as well. While I ran upstairs to her room Nate gave the mail to Mom.
By the time Nate was upstairs, I pulled him into my room. "How come you were eavesdropping on Mom and Dad's conversation?" he asked. "I couldn't help but over hear the fact that Dad knows about what happened at school and he's coming to take you to Accumula Town with him!" I replied. Nate froze after I replied and shook his head in disapproval. "How do I know you're not trying to pull a prank on me like you always do!" he said. "Fine, see for yourself! Dad's leaving tomorrow at noon!" I shot back. As Nate stormed out of my room and into his own, I slammed the door behind him.
Nate heard footsteps approaching his door as Mom came in and sat down next to him on his bed. "Nate, we need to talk!" she said in a calming voice. Nate nodded his head to show that he was listening. "When you were sick, a group called Team Plasma, broke into the school. Now their closing your school tomorrow .Since their closing you're going with your dad to Accumula Town, so you will be attending school their for kids who have dyslexia." "But what about my friends here and you guys!" said Nate. "Hopefully you can come down on the holidays!" Mom replied. "Okay then, when are we leaving?" he asked. "You and Dad are leaving tomorrow at noon, so if I were you I'd get packing!" She kissed the top of his head and walked downstairs. I moved my ear away from the wall that divided our rooms. I figured that I would let my brother have a few minutes to take everything in.
He then slowly got off his bed, grabbed his suit case, and started to pack wondering what his new school will be like. He also wished he would've listened to his sister. He then decided to wait until tomorrow to apologize to her. It was also the fact that, he didn't like being punched in the arm whenever he was wrong.
It wasn't until nine when he heard a knock on the door. "Yeah?" he said. I walked in with one hand behind her back and the other in the door way. Nate flinched when he turned back. "Relax! I won't punch you, if that's what you're thinking!" Nate let his shoulders sag and faced me. "I'm sorry I didn't believe you!" "It's okay; I really shouldn't have been eavesdropping! By the way, here," I handed him a picture frame with a picture of Mom, Nate, and I in it. "It's so you'll remember us!" Nate slipped it into his suitcase as I sat down next to him. "Thanks! I appreciate it, Rosa!" he said. I then hugged him and said "I guess I'm gonna miss you!" "I'll miss you, too!" my brother replied.
Chapter 1: A New Adventure Begins
Rosa was asleep on the couch when her mom got home from grocery shopping. Mom had received a call right before she approached the door and answered it. "Hello? Aurea Juniper! Wow, it's been that long! What? A Pokémon for my child! Okay! She's wearing a big green hat? Got it! Bye!" Mom then walked inside only to find out that her daughter fell asleep watching T.V. "Rosa, wake up! I need to ask you something!" she said. Rosa woke up when her mom nearly scared the crap out of her by slamming the door.
"Yes?" Rosa replied. "My friend Aurea Juniper wants you to get a starter Pokémon and go on an adventure to fill up the pokedex. So do you want to? If you don't I'm fine with that! It's up to you!" said Mom. Her eyes lit up as she got off the couch. "YES, YES, and YES!" she screamed. "Okay, you need to go and find a girl in a big green hat. Her name is Bianca and she has your Pokémon." Mom said. "I got it! Bye Mom, I'll be back in a bit!" Rosa said as she went out the door.
Rosa was stopped half way in her tracks by Hugh. Hugh was the older boy who lived near bye, had his own Pokémon, and bragged about it. Hugh was only older than her by five months and was easy to get rid of. "Hey! Rosa! Where are you going?" he asked. As if it was any of his business she was forced to tell him or else he wouldn't go away. "I'm going to get my first Pokémon. Have you seen a girl in a big green hat?" Rosa said. "No, Sorry I haven't seen her! Mind if I tag along?" Hugh said. "Ummm, why not!" she replied.
They were running through the streets of Aspertia City when they ran to the Lookout. "Well, there's only one place left to look!" Rosa said. Hugh and Rosa headed up the stairs to the Lookout and much to their luck a girl with a big green hat was gazing at the view. "Isn't the view here amazing? He he " she then turned around and saw the two kids coming up the stairs. "So you must be Rosa?" she asked while pointing to her. "You must be Bianca then!" Rosa replied. "Yes! That's me! Are you ready to receive your very first Pokémon?" Bianca said. Rosa nodded her head as she walked towards Bianca. Bianca opened the capsule to revile three pokeballs. Snivy was on the left, Tepig was in the middle and Oshawott on the right. "I guess I'll choose Snivy!" She said as she picked up the pokeball.
"Wow! Looks like you got a good type advantage!" Hugh said. "What type advantage?" Rosa asked. "You know! My Oshawott is a water type! Duh!" he replied. "It's not my fault I've never seen it!" said Rosa. "Hey! You guys should have a Pokémon battle! Despite the types!" Bianca suggested. "You're on Rosa!" Hugh said. "Bring it! I've been waiting for this moment all year!" Rosa replied.
After a quick battle Hugh's Oshawott had fainted. "Wow! Beginner's luck I guess!" Bianca said. Snivy and Oshawott were both returned to their pokeballs when Hugh said, "I never thought you would be my rival! But Hey! A rival's, a rival!" "Same here! I always thought my brother would be your rival!" Rosa replied. "Well, I guess I better get going!" said Hugh. "Oh yeah! I almost forgot! I promised my mom I'd stop at home before I go on my adventure!" Rosa said. "That would be a good thing to do!" Bianca replied. Rosa and Hugh nodded their heads as they headed home. They both waved good-bye to Bianca as they walked down the steps.
She opened the door only to find her mother on the couch, where she had fallen asleep only an hour ago. "Mom, I'm back!" said Rosa. "So what Pokémon did you get?" Mom asked. Rosa then decided to let Snivy out of its pokeball to show her mom. "Wow! Now you actually remind me of a friend I used to have. I met her when I was volunteering as a Pokémon Nurse. She picked a Snivy, just like you!" Mom exclaimed.
"I'm gonna go pack for my adventure! I'll be right back!" Rosa said as she ran up the stairs. Rosa quickly got out her backpack and started putting things in it. Right when she was at the door she felt like she was forgetting something. She remembered and went to her nightstand and picked up a copy of the photo she gave to her brother three years ago. After she put it in her backpack she ran back downstairs to start her journey. "Good luck!" Mom yelled as her daughter raced down the street.
"Bye Mom!" Rosa waved good-bye as she ran around the corner. "Rosa! Wait up!" She heard a familiar voice call to her as she began to slow to a stop. Around the corner was Hugh's little sister, May, with two parcels in her hand. "Here, it's a present from me!" May said as she handed Rosa the parcels. "How come there are two?" Rosa asked. "One's for my brother. Can you give it to him for me?" asked May. Rosa nodded as she took both of the parcels and opened one to find a town map in it. She then waved good-bye as May ran home. Rosa decided to tie the maps to her bag so she would remember them.
As Rosa was running to Floccesy Town, she wondered if her brother was also starting his own journey. More and more questions kept running through her mind, the closer she got to Floccesy Town.
Right before Rosa could leave Floccesy Town a strange man stopped and stared at her. The man then approached Rosa and said "My, are possibly a new trainer?" Rosa nodded her head and stared at him like he was crazy. "Would you care to help a few students of mine?" "Sure! Can you introduce yourself, first?" She replied. "My name is Alder and I am the champion of the Unova region." He said. "I'm Rosa. By the way, have you seen a boy with an Oshawott around here lately?" Rosa asked. "Is that why you have two town maps?" asked Alder. Rosa nodded her head before Alder could finish. "He said he was going to the Floccesy Ranch to toughen up. I would go find him first." He answered. Rosa thanked him and then decided to take his advice and look for him first.
As she headed down the path she wondered how many trainer battles it would take to deliver a stupid parcel. Even though it was useful she still thought it was just a fucking parcel.
After all of those grueling and boring battles she finally reached Floccesy Ranch. She was about to go through the gate, someone had bumped into her. Unfortunately the impact made her and that person fall to the ground. "Hey! Watch where you're going would ya!" he said. "What the hell! All I did was open the stupid gate!" Rosa replied. Once they both opened their eyes they couldn't help but feel a little bit of guilt and worry. "I won't tell your mom if you don't tell mine!" Hugh said. "Deal! Sorry about that!" replied Rosa. She then untied one of the parcels and handed it to Hugh saying "Your sister wanted me to give this."
"He he! She really didn't have to do that! Wow! We haven't even won any gym badges yet, and you've already helped me out!" Hugh said. A couple then came walking through the front gate and said "Did you happen to see our other Herdier?" Rosa and Hugh shook their heads. "Sorry, we haven't seen it!" Rosa said. "I'm John and this is my wife Linda and we're the owners of this ranch." said John. "You see, our Herdier are always side by side, but one wandered off!" exclaimed Linda.
"WHAT? It just wandered off on its own? Your Pokémon may be lost forever! I'll go look! Rosa you come help too!" Hugh said as he stormed off into the woods. "I wonder if anything happened to him. I guess Herdier didn't just wander off on its own!" John said. "I live near him and I don't even know!" Rosa replied. Rosa waved farewell as she took off after her friend. "Good luck! You're gonna need it!" John muttered to himself.
Rosa was wandering further into the woods that were behind the ranch. She was still looking for Hugh and that Herdier. In fact it was his fault she was back here. Although she did have a few battles before she got deeper in the woods. Rosa had her guard up the entire time she was back there, hoping the same thing wouldn't happen again from four years ago. Back then Nate and Hugh dared her to go into the woods behind their house. Not knowing what would happen she accepted the dare and went in, only to come out screaming from one of their pranks.
As she kept going Rosa found a river that led to a hidden grotto. She walked into the grotto and heard a small whimper. Rosa then ran to the back of the grotto to find a Team Plasma grunt and the Herdier. "Gah! You're not supposed to see me!" the grunt said. He then used some kind of smoke bomb and fled. "Coward!" Rosa said to herself. She picked up the Herdier which had twisted its ankle. She ended up carrying it back to the ranch.
"Thank you so much!" Linda said. "No problem! I guess I'll be on my way now!" Rosa replied. On her way back she decided to catch an Azurill. She walked back to Alder's house for her so called "training". "Ah, Rosa, I see you finally delivered that town map to your friend. Even though you gone only a short time, your Pokemon have grown!"Alder said. "Yep and I'm ready to do some training!" replied Rosa. "I'm your first opponent! I'm ready as well." said a little girl. "Then let the battle begin!" the other little boy raised a yellow flag as if this were a gym battle. It was Pansear versus Azurill. There were no type advantages or disadvantages in this Pokemon battle. The battle was shortly ended when the foes Pansear fainted and Rosa was declared the winner.
The next battle was with the boy who was once the referee. The boy and girl then switched places so he could battle. "Go Panpour!" he said as the little monkey came out of it's pokeball. "Snivy, it's your turn to shine!" Rosa said as she sent out her Pokemon. The girl with the flag then waved meaning the battle had started. The boy's Panpour tried to use its only physical move over and over again only to be countered with vine whip. A few minutes later Panpour fainted and again, Rosa was declared winner. "Thank you for teaching my students that you can learn from loosing as well as winning." Alder said. Rosa nodded her head and smiled saying "It was actually pretty fun!" Alder and his students waved good-bye as Rosa went through the doors.
All of a sudden, a strange man with a box came up to me and said "Hey do you want to have a medal box?" A couple police officers came up to him and put him in handcuffs. "This guy's a psychopath! I would stay away from him if I were you! She inched towards the road trying to avoid any other guys like him until Alder came out and caught her attention. "Rosa , I have great news! The Pokemon Gym in Aspertia City is now open, but the gym leader is tough!" he said. "Thanks for the news flash, Alder!" Rosa replied as she headed for the Pokemon much had happened in one day it was to overwhelming for her! Between Team Plasma returning and starting a journey, life was rough! She wasn't even sure if it was safe at all with them! In her mind there was one question that she's had for the past three tears and it if she would ever see her brother again. Another thought occurred to her that what if Nate was starting a journey too! Her spirits rose as she walked into the room she rented.
She plopped down on the bed as if she were at home considering she would need Pokemon Centers as a place to rest. And to think, all you had to do was show Nurse Joy your trainer card and you could rent a room! So far life on the road was sweet but it was also lonely even though she had Pokemon by her side!
