Chapter 1

"Veronica you need to get to Pallet town," My father said handing me a pokéball.

"No I am not leaving the castle," I barked.

"Veronica Kayla Mari. Take your sister to Pallet town NOW!" he screamed as I ran out of the thrown room. When he uses the full name I know he is serious. I found my mother with Trish in her room and ran over to them.

"Veronica, did your father inform you?" She asked hugging Trish.

"Yes, mama but how are we going to get out?" I asked picking up Trish and placing her on Staraptor then my mother climbed on her Aerodactyl, and I on the Suicune my father promised me for my nineteenth birthday which was in a year. I just turned eighteen last week and now my castle on Cinnabar Island is under attack. Mama took off by air and followed close behind Trish Suicune began to run across the Island. I looked behind and saw a Dragonite behind me coming up fast. It used Hyper beam and slammed into my Suicune launching me into the ocean.

"Leave her alone, Jack, you want to mess with someone mess with me," my mother stopped as my sister made her way into the town of Pallet.

"Fine by me," he smiled evilly and pointed at the queen. The Dragonite shot another hyper beam at my mother Aerodactyl and hit her. Both fell and then he shot at my falling mother hitting her with an abnormal Hyper Beam. Suicune pulled me under the water. A few seconds later we surfaced and Jack had disappeared. I looked over and Aerodactyl floated with my mother resting on his stomach. I swam over and climbed aboard the floating pokémon.

"Mama, wake up. Come on this isn't funny. WAKE UP!" I began to cry resting my head on her lifeless body. I knew what happened I couldn't return home. I had no HOME! Aerodactyl began to sink I knew he passed away to. That Dragonite was too strong. Suicune swam over and picked me up. We swam off slowly as I watched my mother get deeper in the water.

"Veronica, where's mom," My nine year old sister barked running over. I lay on the beach I knew I had to stay strong, but I couldn't. "Veronica where is she!" she screamed sitting next to me. Suicune screamed and my sister backed off. She grunted and ran off into town while Suicune lay next to me and curled up while I cried.

"Hey you ok?" I heard a voice call over. I opened my eyes and noticed a boy my age was standing over me. "Here come on," he smiled helping me up. "I'm Damien," he said as I looked deep in his dark blue eyes.

"Princess Veronica," I curtsied in my soaked dress. He began laughing.

"Are you serious? Where is your kingdom?" he continued to laugh.

"Cinnabar Island," I snapped. "I just lost my mother I know Jack went back to the castle for my father so leave me alone!" I pushed him as my Suicune moved closer to him growling.

"Ok, I believe you but how do you know the sinister man named Jack?" he shook saying his name.

"What makes you shake at the sound of his name?" I asked walking closer to him.

"A few years ago my dad made him a sword fit for a king and when he finished and told him the price he jabbed his sword in my father's heart," he sighed turning away.

"That sounds like my favorite story. You ever hear the princess bride?"

"How come every person I meet they tell me that."

"Well will you get revenge," I snarled.

"No," he walked back to his house. I followed behind.

"Well if you won't do anything I will," I screamed looking irate at him. I turned around and got back on Suicune.

"Are you crazy! He will kill you without a thought," he grabbed my wrist.

"I can take care of my self," I said pulling away.

"I won't let you," he got in front of Suicune.

"Get out of the way," I examined his face. Some reason I did see the compassion as if he was in love with me. I have never loved anyone and I planned on not. "I will give you one more warning. Get out of the way!" I exclaimed.

"Fine, but don't expect me to come to your funeral," he sighed as Suicune began running across the beach and onto the water. I turned around and starred at Pallet town becoming smaller and smaller. As Cinnabar became larger and larger. I noticed a black smoky hole where the castle once was. I noticed that there could have been no survivors so I turned Suicune around and headed back to Pallet. Damien was waiting on the beach for me.

"Don't gloat I know what your thinking," I barked returning my Suicune.

"What?" he smiled. My mouth felt dry and I fell to floor. "VERONICA!" I heard his voice become more settle and soon blacked out. When I woke I was inside a small attic. I heard foot steps coming up. "Your awake," he sighed in relief.

"Where's my sister?" I sat up quickly all the blood rushing to my head.

"No, you need to rest," he pushed me back down. "She is with my brothers and they are ok," he began brushing my autumn hair back. "I don't know why but I know you from somewhere," he blinked blankly. After he said that he did look familiar. But why wouldn't I remember someone who looked like a nice looking guy like him.

"I don't feel good," I gagged resting my head back on the pillow.

"Your cold," he said placing more blankets on top of me.

"Damien come down here," I herd a shriek come. He hugged me and then turned back around and ran down the stairs. I closed my eyes and fell back asleep.

"Veronica, you must stay in Pallet. Do not return to Cinnabar. For nothing." My mother hugged me.

"Where are you?" I asked holding onto her.

"In heaven my child," she kissed my head.

"I met someone today and he looks so familiar," I said looking into her eyes.

"Who," she brushed my hair.

"His name is Damien. His father was a sword maker, and Jack killed him," I sighed looking back at her.

"I know him. You should remember of you-"

I gasped waking up. I stood up and walked down the stairs. "Good morning, Princess," A women said coming from the kitchen.

"Good morning," I smiled.

"You can call me Mrs. Callahan," she smiled shaking my hand.

"Mrs. Callahan, I know this sounds weird, but do you recognize me?" I hoped she could answer my question.

"No, sorry dear," she laughed. "Damien is out side," she added before I walked out. The clouds covered the sky. I noticed a girl talking to Damien, she was hanging all over him. My heart dropped and I walked past them.

"Veronica!" he called running toward me. "Veronica, what's wrong?" he asked grabbing my arms.

"What do you care, I knew it was to good to be true, you have a girlfriend," I blurted out. I really don't know why I was acting like this. Most likely since I lost my mother yesterday.

"That's Rebecca she is obsessed with me. I don't even like her."

"What is wrong with me? I am never like this," I began to laugh which made him smile. Then he hugged me sending a chill up my spine. But then it hit me more memory of my past. I saw Damien and me as Children but I couldn't say it then. I still don't remember how we met and If I do say something he may think I'm crazy.
