Chapter One

Abandon Old Memories

Here you go! The long awaited first Chapter is finally out! And after two daaays! Anyways, this book is going to be based on Pokemon Pearl, but I threw out Team Galactic. Sorry, no offense if you like Team Galactic, but I just didn't want to add ANOTHER criminal organization in this. So, I'm just going to make more Team Plasma drama. At first, there wasn't going to be much N, but I got very tired of writing this without him, so I decided to write from his point of view every once in a while. About every five chapters I think. Whenever you see N's POV, then you'll know that I am writing from his point of view, okay? This isn't really based on much, a lot of it is just me. I was going to base it on Black and White 2, but I didn't want to wait for it to come out. Yes, I'm not very patient, so I'm going to write a different story about BW2. But, I hope that you like this one. Spoiler alert, the third book is going to be the all time best. Yeah, so thanks for reading my books guys! xoxo-Star

When I finally landed at the Sinnoh Region check gates, I took a deep breath. Reshiram and I had traveled all of this way, just so I could follow in my father's footsteps and train in Sinnoh, where he had grown up. I smiled to myself, for the first time in about a month. Saying all of my goodbyes had been hard, but I would come back to visit after a while…Maybe…

I sighed to myself, looking down at the ground. I had kept telling myself that I had come here for my father…but somehow I knew I just wanted to escape Unova. I knew that my friends and I would always be doing or separate things now, and I would hardly ever come home anyway. The only part that broke my heart was getting rid of Serperior, Archeops, Golett, Zebstrika, and Sawk. But, they were in good hands. I just didn't have time for them like the Trainers at the Day Care would have.

But…I still felt like a total hypocrite. I mean, I was always talking about how abandoning your Pokémon is wrong, and yet I still did. Why was that? I didn't know that answer yet…But I did know that I wasn't going to be upset about anything. I was going to have a good life here, and I would meet lots of new Pokémon. That was the one thing I knew for sure.

On my last journey, Team Plasma had gotten in the way of everything…But I wouldn't let that happen again. I also had to withstand the fact that I had just found out that I loved a guy, then he left on a legendary dragon Pokémon. He promised that one day, we would see each other again…But I was still scared that we wouldn't. I sighed, shaking my head. No, I would not be sad. I was finally in Sinnoh, and everything was fine. I was still okay. I smiled, walking up to the Check Gates.

"Trainer identification please." The women at the desk said. I pulled my Pokédex out of my bag, trying not to disturb the Rubik's cube hanging at my side. That was one of the last things I had to remember N by…And I wouldn't let anything happen to it. I held out the Pokédex to her, and she scanned it quickly, looking at the computer monitor.

"Ah, so you're a Trainer from Unova, is that right? Now, before you can get through, you must know that any Pokémon that you have from Unova must be released. Any Pokémon that are found that are not part of the Sinnoh region will be taken away and you will be sent to prison. Is that clear?" she asked. I nodded. Yes, I would have to hide Reshiram very well. But no one would understand…No one would understand that the Pokémon that I still held was a legendary dragon…

"Very well then, you may proceed." She said, handing me back my Pokédex. I nodded to her, smiling. I put it back into my bag. I then took a map off of the desk, looking at it, confused. This place was so much more different than Unova. I would have to work at this for a while…I had no clue where to go. Suddenly, a boy came up from behind me, pointing to a small town on a map.

"If you're just now starting your journey, I would suggest Twinleaf Town." He said. I looked him over. He had a red hat and scarf, but just looked like a normal boy, about my age. I smiled at him. He reminded me a bit of…my father…from the pictures I saw when he was my age…

"Hey, if you want to go there, then I can take you. I was planning on going over there myself." He said. I thought about it for a minute. It was only a few miles away from here according to the map. I finally nodded.

"Yeah, thanks. That would be great." I said, smiling. A thought suddenly occurred to me. I could totally change my personality…No one here knew who I was…I thought about it for a moment. I might try to be a bit quieter, and mind my own business a bit more. I'll try not to get into as many fights with people…That will attract less attention to me.

"Okay, great. I'm Lucas, by the way." He said. I smiled, nodding. He seemed like a nice guy…and if he tried to hurt me, there was always Reshiram. I smirked, but quickly turned it into an innocent smile.

"I'm White." I replied. He smiled, nodding. There was definitely something different about him. That may have been because all of the guys that I was around all of the time were quiet.

"Nice to meet you. Well, we'd better get going. I've got to meet up with somebody and if I'm late, they'll probably kill me. So, let's go, shall we?" he asked. I nodded, smiling. We then walked out of the building and on to the path ahead of us. He smiled, and we talked a little.

"So, White. Who are you going to choose for your first Pokémon?" he asked me. I looked down sadly, and I heard him awkwardly cough.

"Erm, is everything all right? Did I say something wrong?" he asked me. I shook my head and looked up, sighing.

"Nah, but I've already gotten my first Pokémon, but I left it back in Unova." I replied. He gawked at me, eyes widening with excitement.

"Oh my gosh, a Trainer from Unova! I've always wanted to go there, but I didn't have the time, but it sounds really cool! I heard that this group of people, Team Plasma, was trying to steal other people's Pokémon, but then their king and this brave girl fought for their ideals, and the girl won, saving all Pokémon!" he exclaimed. I stared at him.

"Wh-where did you hear about all of that?" I asked him. He beamed, holding up his Xtransceiver. There was an article opened on the screen.

Unova's Turmoil Finally Resolved

After much conflict with the criminal organization called Team Plasma, Unova is finally seeing peace once more after an ordinary girl saved the world as we know it. She is truly a hero to all. The name of this girl still remains a mystery, but we all owe her a great debt.

I stared at the screen, and then groaned, turning away from it. Now I was a hero to all…Who found out about that other than the people who saw it happen? Well, at least they didn't know how extreme the fight was. Whoever told the press about this didn't say that we had each revived a legendary dragon Pokémon.

"White, are you okay? You seem a bit sad." He said. I turned to him and laughed, putting on my best happy face.

"No, I'm fine. Just a bit tired. This is my first day in Sinnoh after all." I replied. He nodded, smiling. I stared at him, puzzled. Lucas was definitely different than anyone else that I was friends with. Cheren was really cocky and delusional sometimes, and N was really quiet and shy. But this boy was loud, joking, and a bit obnoxious. But I actually liked talking with him. Not as much as I liked talking to N, but still…It was nice.

"Well, we're almost there. Do you have a place to stay tonight?" he asked me. I thought about it for a moment, realizing that I had no idea what I was going to do here.

"Well, I suppose that I'll stay in the Center." I replied. He glanced at me, then stopped, smiling and laughing.

"Well, that would be a shame, since it's your first day. I've got to go meet the professor, and he'll keep me for about a half an hour, an hour at most. You can either look around the town, or wait outside. After I get out of the lab, I'll go find you and show you around. You can stay at my place tonight, okay? We have a spare room." He said. I smiled and nodded, taking the piece of paper from him.

"You're sure that's okay? I don't want to be a pain." I replied. He shook his head, turning around. I realized we had made it to the town already.

"Nah, its fine. Like I said, we have a spare room. See you in a little bit, okay?" he said. I nodded, thanking him. I looked around me, seeing that I really had no idea where I was. The town was fairly small, but I still had no idea what to do. I would just go somewhere and wait for him. I looked around. Once again, the town was surrounded by a dense forest. I smiled happily, running into it. The forest was like my second home, and I could release Reshiram to get some exercise.

I darted out into the forest, finding a large oak tree. I looked around, not seeing or hearing anyone at the moment. I scaled the tree, lying down on a large branch. I then took out Reshiram's Pokeball, calling it out.

"Stay low, and be quiet, but you can walk around a bit, but no flying, okay?" I asked it. It looked at me sadly, and then walked away. I smiled sadly. Reshiram was a very intelligent Pokémon. It was such a shame that it couldn't live normally…Not around all of these people. I wanted to keep my identity a mystery basically.

I relaxed for a few minutes when I heard Reshiram return. It stood under me, so I reached down a hand and began stroking its head. I smiled and relaxed, closing my eyes. It had been about an hour when I heard a cry from underneath me.

"GAH! WHAT IS THAT THING?" I heard a voice say from below me. I stood up suddenly, toppling off the branch that I had been laying awkwardly on.

"AAHH!" I screamed, falling down. I closed my eyes. I was so stupid...However, instead of falling to the ground, I felt myself being caught by something. I opened my eyes to see that Reshiram had caught me in one of its wings. I smiled, sliding down and returning it to its Pokeball. I then turned around to see Lucas, sprawled out on the ground, trembling with shock.

"W-W-What the…But that means…" he said. I stared at him. He looked absolutely terrified. Well that was it…I was going to be totally swarmed with the press…

"That means that you're the hero from Unova aren't you White?" he asked me. I sighed, and then nodded. I extended a hand to him, but he just stood up. I stared at him.

"So...Are you going to tell the press now?" I said sadly. He stared at me, then at the Pokeball in my hands, and then shook his head.

"No…I won't. You can trust me." He said. I stared at him. I had just met Lucas this morning, but I would have to trust him. There was nothing else that I could do.

"…Thank you…But are you okay? I mean, with the whole legendary Pokémon thing?" I asked. He laughed suddenly.

"Well, I'm curious to learn more about the two of you. So…I was wondering, do you have a partner? You know, someone to travel with?" he asked. My thoughts immediately flew to N.

"Well…not at the moment. I have a boyfriend though." I blurted out. What did I say that for? N wasn't my boyfriend! But I didn't want to date Lucas…

"No! Not like that! Just a friend to travel with!" he exclaimed, blushing. I laughed, brushing back my hair.

"Ah, okay, sorry. Well, I don't." I explained. He nodded, walking over and fake-punching me. I looked at him confused.

"Well, would you like me to be your partner? We can help each other out." He said. I smiled, looking at him. I really did need someone here…A friend…So why not Lucas?

"Okay, sure. Why not?" I said. He smiled, nodding and beginning to walk down the path. I followed him. So, someone found out my secret. But I felt like I could trust Lucas. He would be a valuable partner, and a good friend…I smiled. So this was a good beginning to a new adventure.
