"Are you sure about this? The moment it happens is the moment we lose control of all variables."

"I know, and thats why we have to. It has to be this way, you've always known this."

"I just wonder still. What if we did something wrong? What happens if-"

"Don't think like that. I know what you feel, but trust me, it's for the best."

"I hope so."

-What Will Your Legacy Be?-

"Selena, time to go" The voice from beyond the door received a sigh from under a large and fluffy bed comforter. The girl beneath managed to pull her head out after almost a minute of struggling. Her short spiky red hair was in a mess, but she usually kept it that way anyways. Her green eyes looked out the window near her bed only to catch the sun right to her face. She rubbed her eyes before finally getting out of bed and heading to the bathroom. Her mother listened from downstairs while fixing her a few eggs and toast.

"Zion has nothing on the time it takes her to get ready. Hard to believe she's already 16." Rosa smiled while pushing her glasses up and looking at a picture of her very large family. It was taken at a cook-out they had when her daughter decided she was going on a Pokemon journey just like her grandfather, Raz, did. The only person in it that wasn't a part of the family was Selena's best friend, Sean.

"That reminds me, Sean starts today too. I wonder what time he'll get going." As she thought about it, she heard more stumbling upstairs. After another few minutes, the girl hopped the bottom of the stairs. She was in her usual outfit, a white T-shirt with a black vest over it, red shorts, and a pair of green boots and fingerless gloves. She was definitely not a girly girl.

"Morning mom." She smiled half way while grabbing a piece of toast and glass of orange juice. She had them drunk and eaten before her mother could blink.

"It tends to taste better if you chew."

"True, but I'm late and don't have the time." The girl smiled while pulling a green back-pack up and running around the table to hug her mother. "Don't worry, I'll call ya when I get to Pewter."

Selena hugged her mom before rushing out of the house and sprinting up the road. Rosa smiled before getting a serious look of concern.

-c(0.0c)-

Selena was at the bottom of a long set of stairs that lead to the old Oak Lab. It was a sight of awe for some trainers, but her and Sean had been coming here for years to help her grandfather who had taken over the duties when Gary Oak decided to look elsewhere for new Pokemon.

"Just another day Selena. The same as always." She closed her eyes and inhaled deeply before taking the first step. She stopped when she heard a clapping sound from behind her. She turned and saw a black fedora and trench-coat which meant it was only one person. "Why are you so mocking of me Sean, so I'm nervous, so what?!"

"I'm not mocking. I'm just clapping to annoy you. You actually met my prediction that you'd be last. Claire said you'd beat me, but I had faith. She left about an hour ago herself." He walked out from a tree he was leaning on while twirling a bo staff with his right hand. His long black hair blew a little in the wind from under the fedora while he used his left hand to stroke his goatee. His glasses gleamed in front of his blue eyes as the lenses turned darker in the sun. She noticed he was wearing his favorite purple shirt with a black tribal dragon on the front. He also wore black jeans and boots, which all made his pale skin look even paler. It sometimes bugged Selena how much her friend looked more mature then the 17 year old he was, and acted.

"Your mean." She folded her arms while hmphing at him and turning away. He smiled and bowed. The whole time he continued to twirl the staff.

"I didn't think the daughter of a hero would get so easily annoyed. Maybe you two aren't made from the same cloth." That comment got him the reaction he wanted. He saw his friend get angry as she stomped down the step and shoved into him.

"I'll show you what I'm made of you lazy, obnoxious, pushy, scruffy looking, BLAH!!!" He smiled as she tripped after he took a big step back. She groaned as she landed on the grass and looked back to see a trip wire wrapped around her foot.

"See, you were late, and I told you bad things happen to those that are late. Have fun, I gotta go. Maybe I'll see you in Pewter." With a smile he reached back and pulled out a small remote-control device. She looked in horror as he set it on the ground just out of her reach.

"You wouldn't, not today." He smiled and laughed a little while walking away.

"Your my best friend do you think I would do something mean on the day we both begin our journey?" She knew from his smile what was going to happen. He had been bragging about how he would get her back for saying he wouldn't be a great trainer, only a rookie forever.

"Don't, please. I didn't mean it when that, we were in a fight. Please." He saw tears half fill her eyes as she tried to look defeated. He sighed and stopped twirling the staff. She smiled a little until he grinned.

"Then you know what to say to get out of this. Say it and I'll let you go." He saw her shock before she folded her arms.

"Never."

"I knew you'd say that." He twirled the staff again before smashing one end down into the remote control's button.

"You basterrrrr-AHHHH" The wire jerked and pulled Selena into the bushes and the leaves around the hill. It stopped after a few moments before she could go into the woods. She spit a leaf out before feeling the wire tug again. She looked in time to see it pull her straight up into the air. She stopped, hanging upside down, just out of reach of her grandpa's office where he was looking at some papers. She looked down to see her friend laughing before waving and walking away, twirling his staff the whole way.

"I am so gonna get him back for this one." She hmphed as the window near her opened and Raz looked at her and out at Sean as he was leaving.

"Dam, I owe him five buck." The old man smiled and turned to see his granddaughter looking defeated. She felt as he pulled her toward him with his mind and cut the wire at the same time. Once inside, he sat her down before laughing hysterically.

"Your just like he is you know that gran. Your both so mean to me." He managed to stop after a few more moments. He also pulled a pokeball out and started tossing it into the air.

"I just enjoy the comedy of the situation dear. Your the one who both let yourself get caught and couldn't get yourself out. Trust me, you'll see the comedy of it one day." He smiled while she looked at him like he was crazy. He just chuckled a little while moving to a case with a single pokeball in it. He set it down on his desk while still tossing the other one up and down.

"You have the fighting spirit, I'll give you that. Go get cleaned up while I get your pokedex ready. We got new models that Zion has made. They look pretty cool too." She finally smiled and went to the wash room. He set the ball in the case out and put the case back up. He also pulled out a black wrist watch and set it on the coffee table near where she was sitting. He also set a group of 5 pokeballs down in their miniature form. Selena came out a moment later with all the dirt and leaves off her. She saw the devices and smiled.

"The pokedex is a model created to always be out. It's kind of a mix between the dex and a poketch. It has a sensor in the side that you can point at a Pokemon to scan it. It also has a map for easy directions. It's a lot better then trying to guess where your going like we did." He smiled while she pocketed the empty pokeballs and put the watch on. She did feel a small stab as the dex poked her when she put it on.

"DNA scan complete. Trainer Name: Selena Rozilina Psychotide. Have a pleasant journey." The voice was that of a young female. It also didn't sound robotic at all which the older models all did.

"Cool." She smiled and got up while playing around with the watch. Raz smiled and set the ball he was tossing down on his desk before grabbing some of the papers and throwing them into a nearby trashcan. He turned to see his granddaughter grab her partner's ball and look at it. "I'm gonna show Sean a thing or two with you by my side. Doesn't matter who you are, we are so owning this region."

Raz smiled and sat down as the girl ran out with a wave. He picked up the ball on his desk to open it and see what had been sent. After a quick flash, he smiled and shook his head.

"I hope Zi is good with a field test." After another quick smile he petted the head of the Squirtle that Selena was supposed to have gotten, his eyes not showing any surprise by what had happened.

-(O.o) Kirby doesn't understand why your not hugging him!-

"I wonder what was left after Claire and Sean got theirs? It won't matter, but it'd be nice to know who I got the advantage on, heh." Selena continued sprinting as she entered Viridian. She only stopped when she came to the gym there and looked at the sign saying it was closed for the week for remodeling. She took a seat on a bench outside and pulled the pokeball out.

"Time to see who you are." She pressed the button to expand the ball before tossing it up to release her first partner. When the light faded, she looked at it in surprise.

"What are you?"

-Wait for it.-

-One second.-

AN: ZOMG! I'm back and with a story opening cliffhanger, mwahahahaha. I bet anything that no one will ever guess who the Pokemon she got is. I know no one will since I created it. See ya next time! /wave
