"Come on dad!" I begged, a fossil in my hands, "Please? You're going to Nacrene City anyway, you just have to go to the museum and get this fossil revived!"

"No is no Veronica!" My father debated, "I am passing through there and I will not waste any time taking detours!"

"But you always say how you want me to go on my own Journey! This is the perfect opportunity!" I reason, he looked ready to crack so I put on a puppy dog look, he always fell for it.

"Fine. But I expect you to be absolutely ready to go when I get back." He said defeated, I smile and hug him tightly.

"Thanks daddy!" I say gleefully, he hugs back hesitantly then leaves with the fossil.

I ran up to my room quickly, wanting to get ready for my journey! I get my backpack out of my closet and dusted it off, boy it was in there for a while…

I packed a Town Map, a Potion, various status healers, and my Trainers license. I looked over to my brother Blake who was snoring over in his bed, I rolled my eyes and got out his backpack too and packed the same items.

I set the packs down and turned on the TV, dad wouldn't be back for a few hours and I might as well pass the time a bit before the local stores open. I checked my watch, which was pitch black, it said 6:30. The stores opened at 7:00 so I could watch some TV in the meantime.

After watching an episode of training tips I exited the house carrying mine and Blake's backpacks and headed to the Pokémon Center. After I entered the building I immediately headed to the shop counters, and I impatiently tried to get the clerks attention.

"Excuse me!" I say for the 3rd time he finally looks in my direction and stares at me,then his eyes lowered to my chest, god what a perv!

"I want ten Pokéballs, and my face is up here." I said pointing to my face. He blushes and grabs ten Pokéballs.

"Th-that'll be 2,000 Munny." He stuttered, with his hand outstretched palm up.

"I think after eyeing me, they should be half off." I say sharply, I hand him only 1,000.

"S-sure." He says looking away. I head off to my friend Belle's house, she had gotten a Tepig from Professor Juniper, I didn't get a Pokémon from her because she only had three. I had let Belle, Cheren, and Blake take those three and we had found the fossil so I could get my dad to go get it revived.

Anyway, I was on my way to Belle's house. I opened the door and headed straight inside, Belle was currently arguing with her father. He thought she shouldn't go on her Pokémon journey, she thought otherwise.

"You won't go and that is final!" He yelled, his face was beat red.

"B-but I have a Pokémon and Veronica and Cheren and Blake!" Belle stammered, I walked up to her and faced her father.

"I won't let anything bad happen to her, sir." I promised him. He got angrier that I had interrupted.

"HOW DARE YO-" He starts; I just start walking towards the door.

"Come on Belle." I beckon, she runs up to follow me.

"Bye dad!" She calls back to him, and then slams the door shut behind her.

We walk to route 1, where Belle, Cheren and I decided to meet after we got ready. Blake was going to be late apparently… Speak of the devil, he was running to catch up with me.

"Hey Veronica!" He yelled, his Oshawott's Pokéball in his hand, he named her Vero after me.

I stopped and waited for him to catch up, he had the same dark brown hair as me but mine was long and wavy his was a little spikey he covered it half up with his hat which was primarily white but had Black details, my hat was Primarily Black with white detail.

He wore an extremely white jacket with, again black detail and jeans. I wore a black T-shirt that said Vero in white letters over my chest, which was probably the actual reason the store clerk was staring at my chest but then again he was looking a little too long… I also wore jeans but mine were much skinnier than Blake's who liked his baggy.

Blake and I are twins, both 12 but we were identical in some ways and very different in others. For one, he had brown eyes whereas I had blue. Also he was pretty shy and very cautious and I was Brave, and always headed into things without much thought about it. I also was a C-cup so I guess the clerk staring at me was just some gross boy instinct or whatever. Blake wore White Vans and I wore Black combat boots; that was our attire.

I held up Blake's backpack and Pokéball belt, "You looking for these?"

He reaches for them and I hand them to him, he puts Vero's Pokéball on the belt and puts the belt on, "Thanks, Veronica."

"Come on." I say smiling, we walk to route 1 and I just stand there.

"What's wrong Veronica?" Cheren asks who was already waiting there.

"I don't have a Pokémon; my dad won't be back for an hour." I say, disappointed.

"Well we can wait." Belle says, "We have lots of time!"

"No, you guys go ahead. I'll wait here for my dad." I insisted, disappointed.

"I'll stay, "Blake says, " You guys can go."

"Okay then," Cheren said walking towards route 1, "come on, Belle."

"Okay…" Belle sighed, "We'll see you in Accumula Town then…"

Blake and I waited for a while then in the shadows of the trees I saw it, sinister red eyes. This wasn't the haunter playing tricks; it looked like it was bleeding from its sockets, a permanent grimace slashed across its face. I could only stare it was gone a second after I saw it. I shook my head; I must have not gotten much sleep last night…

"Hey!" I heard Blake yell, "G-get away from us!"

I looked in the direction that he was looking; the same bleeding eyes watched me. It was about 5 yards away and closing in, a creepily quiet hollow scream emitted from its thin throat. It was humanoid but was barely thicker than bone and its skin was a dull black. It had long black claws dripping with fresh blood, I gaped in horror.

I rushed towards me, its grimace widened to show fangs, long ones. It was only a mere two feet before I had the chance to scream, its claws raised to strike but never had the chance. Another creature, a pitch black tackled it; it was about 2 and a half feet tall whereas the other was about 7 feet, it wasn't scary looking like the first creature it actually looked kind of docile but that hard to say about something that was attempting to kill something else.

The new creature was actually turtle-like. Actually it was Tirtouga, like the one my fossil was of… I then realized that was my fossil was but it was much like the first creature but more friendly and good? Maybe it was just me.

"Veronica! Blake! Get back, that thing is a Blood Demon!" My father yelled at us getting off of his Unfezant, he held a Pokéball which he threw to me, I caught it I gave him a questioning look.

He got the look and explained to me, "You're its trainer and it won't survive in battle if you don't give it an order!"

"Oh, well then!" I say feistily, I think of the moves a Tirtouga would know then suddenly yell out, "Water gun!"

The Tirtouga responded immediately, shooting a fast stream of water out of its mouth and at the Blood Demon. It flinched back; it had taken quite some damage apparently. It lets out a blood curdling scream; I covered my ears in fear of being deafened.

The Blood Demon sprinted at me and I took my hands from my ears and called out another move, "Rollout!"

Tirtouga again immediately responded and rock rose from the ground and turned in to a bigger mass which was sent rolling to the Blood Demon which was almost to me but was crushed by the boulder and laid on the ground, crushed. It disintegrated in blood after a second and then the blood soaked in to the earth.

Blake turned to dad and asked, "What was that?"

"Well, that's a long story. One I'm going to tell you." He responded,


So how did I do? I think that it was pretty okay but I want to know what you guys think. So please, leave a review if you have the time! :)
