Note up here: This is my first fanfic, so please don't just flame me. I will be willing to take in any comments however. Rated K+ just to be safe.

Disclaimer: Serenityleader does NOT own pokemon. She has no idea if this idea has been used before, so please let her know if that is the case!

I feel a small shake as an old woman picks me up so gently. Tears appear in my eyes. "Where's Alue?" I ask quietly, although I was sure I already knew the answer.

"I'm sorry. Your mom and Rutherion decided that it would be best if… You and Alue were split up…"

"No!" I cried out to the old lady. "Who will be my partner in the battle frontier? Raichu? And who are you?"

Her eyes softened as she stared at the ground. "You don't remember me?"

"You seem familiar…" I said, trying to put my finger on who she was.

"You remember your mom... Don't you?" She asked. My eyes widened.

"Of course! How could I forget Faith? My trainer's first pokemon!"

"I'm the daycare woman. Your trainer wanted you to train..."

"Destiny wanted me to train?"

She led me into a large green field. I saw many other pokemon, but I came up to a miltank. After a short battle, I saw my trainer wandering around, and I felt my self-training as hard as I could until at last I saw Destiny lay down to bed. Sighing, I heard a familiar voice.

I turned around, and saw it was night. I saw two bright eyes of who I thought I would never see again!

"Alue…" I said, holding back tears. "I've missed you!" I finally said, wrapping him in a hug.

"I've missed you too…" He told me. "I haven't seen you in quite awhile…" As I released him from a hug, he told me something. "Minonaur has agreed to take us in! Then we can fight side-by-side in the battledome level 50 and under. Not just one by one… Charity… This is great…He's even agreed to give you a different name! Rutherion will accept you. You'll still have the fame of it… It's a perfect arrangement…" He said, holding my paws.

I wiped a tear from my eye. "Alue… The blaziken… What about Raichu?"

"Destiny released her! Minonaur gave her a new name, her name is Serenity…"

I looked up at him, hugged him tightly. "That sounds wonderful… I would love to make the arrangement… When would we leave?"

"Charity, we'll leave tomorrow night…"

"I can't wait… I can't wait to fight with you by my side…" He left, and I soon fell asleep.

When I awoke, my trainer was still asleep. I went over to the computer and typed in the exact details of my battles the day before, I don't know why.

I put the nametag on, and tied it around my neck. When I looked down at it, I was surprised, and I cried.

That night, Alue and Minonaur came. Alue came over to me, and I hugged him tightly.

"This will be great!" He told me, shaking with excitement.

"I'm level 51…" I whispered.

"What?"

"I'm level 51!" I screamed and he looked at me.

"Very well. I'll rise to level 51. Serenity will rise to level 51. If I can battle by your side… We can conquer the trainer hill… It doesn't matter!"

I watched patiently as he left to help his trainer. My feelings were a mixture of happiness, surprise, and the feeling you get when you are touched. Alue cared for me, even though he was the stronger between the Raichu, the swampert (me), and the blaziken(him).

As I watched the blaziken leave, I cried.
