Hello Everyone, back again with the next chapter! so far three OC's have been given in, I'm hoping for more, but the submission is still open! I hope that you all enjoy this story!

It's the morning of little Alicia's start in the Pokémon world, and along with her two Pokémon, she has made a brand new friend, a young girl named Kylee. The two may have only just met, but their journey together through the world of Unova has only just begun.

(Route 9 – Small Clear – 6:00 AM)

The newly risen sun for this quiet day shines down through the trees on the small camp site. The light cut through the lining of the tents and tickled the eyes of the two young girls, while young Kylee had woken up and gave out a soft yawn waking easily, Alicia had a bit more of a sore wake up not having been used to sleeping on the ground.

"Mean sun… it's too early…" Alicia muttered with a soft yawn as she grabbed a brush and started brushing her hair out. As she got her messy hair cleared out and down, Alicia's happy smile formed seeing her small companion asleep and curled up. "Aww, so cute," Taking her time, Alicia got changed from her black and white night clothes and into her normal clothing. Once she had been dressed she picked up her wolf pup and slowly climbed out of the tent to find Kylee already there starting on some breakfast. "Hey… Kylee wasn't it…?"

"Yup, and you're Alicia, and that's Flamolf." Kylee said maintaining her smile. "Sorry if this is weird, but I like memorizing people's full names, so could you please tell me yours?"

Alicia giggled softly at the question as she sat down besides Kylee lying Flamolf on her lap. "Not at all, but only if you tell me yours back!" Alicia said with a giggle. "Anyway, I am Alicia Rose Pierce, my daddy is a researcher and my mommy is a breeder, and I have a little brother."

"Pierce… Pierce… My mommy and daddy told me about a friend of theirs named Pierce, but anyway, my name is Kylee Ann Sire." Kylee said softly as she worked on the breakfast for the two of them.

"Sire…? Are you the daughter of Vahn and Karina Sire?" Alicia asked as she petted her sleeping wolf. Hearing her parent's names caused Kylee to make a small jump.

"Yes I am; how do you know about me parents?" Kylee asked surprised while Alicia just giggled.

"They're my aunt and uncle, my daddy's mom and dad are Aunty Kari's step parents," Alicia said keeping her giggles.

"So doesn't that make us cousins?" Kylee asked as her smile grew.

"Yup!" Alicia said happily giving Kylee a hug. "I'm so happy to meet family so soon!"

"Me too!" Kylee said as she gave Alicia a hug back. "How about we stick together through the journey?"

"Sounds good to me," Alicia said as Flamolf let out a small bark and yawn as he sat up a stretched. "Morning cutie," Alicia gave a giggle as she picked up her Flamolf who quickly began licking her.

"That's adorable," Kylee said as she checked her cooking. "Breakfast is ready; we should let the Pokémon out to so that they can eat,"

"Right," Alicia said as she set her Flamolf down before letting her Snivy out who took a quick ballerina twirl before striking a cute pose. "She's so cute!"

"Yup," Kylee said as she let her Tepig out of its Pokeball. "Time to eat Tepig,"

"Tep!" Tepig said happily before looking to Alicia and her Pokémon.

"Tepig, this is my Cousin Alicia, and her Pokémon Snivy and Flamolf." Kylee said petting Tepig before he went over to the Pokémon.

"It's nice to meet you Tepig," Alicia said with a smile as Flamolf and Snivy went over to Tepig.

"Flam," Flamolf barked giving his hello.

"Sni," Snivy said sweetly giving a shy hello.

"Tei, pig Tepig." Tepig said giving his returned greeting while Kylee served up their foods.

"Time to eat everyone," Kylee said giving out the food. "I hope you like it Alicia, daddy taught me how to cook, so I hope that I'm as good as he is."

"I'm sure that you're great Kylee," Alicia said as she and their Pokémon started eating.

Through the early hours the two cousins began to properly get to know each other it wasn't long that they saw each other as more of sisters instead of cousins and even as best friends in the simple sight of it. It was almost noon when the two decided it was time to start back up and get on to the road.

(Route 19 – Outside Floccesy Town – 10:50 AM)

"We made it!" Alicia said with a happy chuckle while Flamolf gave a happy bark from her shoulder.

"Yup," Kylee said as they walked into the small town. "Where should we go first?"

"I think the Pokémon Center is the best starting point, we can go there and get a room for the night." Alicia said looking around.

"Good idea, but then could we go to a store? I need to stock up on some new materials." Kylee asked looking through her bag.

"Sure!" Alicia said as she looked around the town. "I think the Pokémon Center is… that way!"

"Yup," Kylee said as she followed Alicia to the Pokémon Center.

The center was simple and decently equipped as most are, but the Nurse Joy there seemed a bit different as in the fact she had her hair down fully with it reaching her mid back, and she had a simple pendant on with the center piece being a crystal shard.

"Hello, welcome to the Pokémon Center, is there anything I can help you with?" Nurse Joy said maintaining her happy smile.

"Hiya Nurse Joy, we'd like a room for two please," Alicia said walking up to the main desk.

"Of course, who will the room be registered under?" Nurse Joy asked as she stood by her computer.

"I'll take the registration Alicia; it'll be under Kylee Ann Sire." Kylee said as Nurse Joy typed into the computer before giving a pair of cards to Kylee.

"Here you are girls, these cards are registered to your door, the door will only open when these keys are used, also, you two can keep them, just give them to the Nurse Joy at other centers and they'll reset the keys for the room you choose, but be sure to stop back here for you two decide to leave so that I can blank the card." Nurse Joy said with a smile.

"Thank you Nurse Joy," Alicia and Kylee said with a smile before going off to their room.

"Hey, maybe we should call our families so that they'll know that we're okay," Kylee said as she and Alicia got their stuff settled in.

Alicia stood quiet for a moment before looking to Kylee with a smile, but the smile had a bit more of a feeling that she was holding something back.

"Sounds good to me," Alicia said as she set Flamolf on her bed. She let out a small giggle as he curled up and fell asleep. "Sleepy pup,"

"Yup, come on Alicia, I'm sure mommy and daddy would like to see you," Kylee said as she ran out of the room.

"Yeah…" Alicia whispered as she clenched over her heart and where the pendant was. "Mommy… Daddy… Ethan… I wish you both were home together when I call… I want to be able to see you both…" Wiping a few tears away, Alicia took a deep breath before going back downstairs to Kylee at the video phones.

"Are you okay Alicia…?" Kylee asked a little worried.

"Huh? Oh, yeah I'm okay, sorry if I kept you waiting, should we call your parents first?" Alicia asked trying to keep her happy smile.

"Sure!" Kylee said taking Alicia into the video booth. It only took a few moments for Kylee to dial her home on the monitor, but in the time she was, Alicia had been fidgeting a bit worried about when she had to call her own family.

When the call went through, the two girls were met by two people. One was a male into his mid 20's; his hair was a long and spiky black tied back, his pale rose colored eyes looked strong and bold, but had a gentle look. He had a slight tan to his skin, he was in a black short sleeved shirt with a dark grey long sleeved one on under the black, while all that was visible, what couldn't be seen was his dark blue pants and white pair of socks. Sitting by him was a young woman in her mid 20's; her hair was long and red and left draped over her shoulder in a loose ponytail, her eyes were a warm and gentle blue, she was wearing a white sundress, a red shield was placed on her as a necklace.

"Hi Mommy, hi Daddy!" Kylee said happily looking to her parents.

"Hey kiddo, how're things going?" The man said with a smile.

"Who's your friend sweetie?" The woman asked.

"Mommy, Daddy, its Alicia, your niece remember?" Kylee said with a giggle.

"Hi Aunty Kari, hi Uncle Vahn," Alicia said smiling while giving a shy wave.

"Oh Alicia, I hardly recognized you cutie, I'm so happy that you two were able to meet each other." Karina said with a happy smile.

"How's your dad doing Alicia?" Vahn asked.

"He's alright, busy as ever," Alicia said trying to hide her feelings. "His research keeps him constantly busy."

"I'm sorry sweetie, what about your mom, how's she doing…?" Karina asked knowing the story and what was happening.

"She's good… I miss her though; I wish I could've seen her before I left for Unova…" Alicia said with a small sigh.

"I'm sorry Alicia," Karina said as Kylee gave her a hug. "Your uncle Vahn and I are always here for you if your dad is having trouble to be."

"Thanks Aunty Kari, I appreciate it," Alicia said with a happy smile as she hugged Kylee.

"Heh, you two look a lot like sisters already," Vahn said with a chuckle. "Be good you two, and look after each other."

"We will Daddy, I love you both, talk again soon!" Kylee said waving as the screen cut out. "Do you want you call your family now Alicia…?"

"Yeah… I probably should to let Daddy know that I'm safe and in Floccesy Town…" Alicia said calmly as she bit her lip and dialed her father's number.

The time took a bit longer this time around with the call being such a long distance, but when it went through Alicia's eyes lit up and watered a little. She had come to see two adults and a little boy. The male adult was nearing his early 30's; his dark blue hair was tied back, he was in a black button up dress shirt with a white lab coat on over it, he had also been wearing a dark blue pair of pants. The woman was in a black long sleeved shirt with a red tank top over it, she also had a dark grey pair of pants on, she was in her mid 20's and had soft red eyes with a pair of glasses over her eyes, her hair was a long sandy brown with a black fringe. The boy was only about 6 or so, he was in a light blue short sleeved shirt and a black pair of shorts, he had been wearing a pair of glasses over his blue eyes, and his hair was a short sandy brown with a blue fringe.

"Mommy! Daddy! Ethan!" Alicia said happily as a few tears fell. "Yay! You're all together!"

"Hey, no crying baby," The woman said with a soft giggle while Alicia wiped her tears away giggling before sticking her tongue out.

"Hi big sister!" The little boy said with a happy wave.

"Hi brobro!" Alicia said with a happy wave back.

"How're things going Alicia?" The man asked before looking to Kylee. "You're Kylee, Vahn and Karina's little girl, right?"

"Yup!" Kylee said with a giggle and a wave.

"Things are going well, we made it to Floccesy Town!" Alicia said happily.

"Very good kiddo, are you two going to be traveling together?" the woman asked.

"Yup! We decided that this morning," Alicia said.

"Good, it's always best to have people with you on your journey." The man said. "Hey, while you two are there, pay a visit to Alders home, he gives lessons to new trainers to see how strong they are."

"That sounds like a good idea." Kylee said. "We still need to do some shopping though, so we can stop by Alder on the way while walking around."

"Sounds like a good plan, do you two have enough money?" The woman asked.

"Between the two of us, we should have enough," Alicia said calmly.

"You two should getting going then, you don't want to miss your chance at doing your shopping, right?" The man asked.

"Oh yeah, we should get going." Kylee said.

"Aww, okay…" Alicia said with a pout. "I gotta go… I love you Mommy, Ethan, I miss you so much!"

"We miss you too baby, and we love you so much, have fun and please be safe!" Alicia's mother said softly.

"I will! I love you all so much!" Alicia said happily.

"We love you too baby, call tonight and we'll all still be here," Alicia's mother said.

"Yay, bye everyone!" Alicia said happily as the video cut out.

"I'm happy you got to see your family all together," Kylee said as she gave Alicia a hug.

"I am too!" Alicia said with a huge smile as she hugged Kylee back. "Let's go get the shopping done so that we can get some training done."

"Okay," Kylee said as they both left the booth.

"Hey, I never asked, what was it that you wanted to do as a trainer?" Alicia said as they left the Pokémon Center after getting a few things from their bags.

"Oh, I want to be a Pokémon Master, like my Daddy, I want to be a great master like he is!" Kylee said with a giggle as the two girls entered the supermarket.

"I do too, but my goal is more opened, I want to be a Master like Daddy, and a Top Coordinator like Mommy, but I also want to be a researcher and a breeder like Mommy and Daddy are too." Alicia said with a soft giggle and a sweatdrop. "I really just can't decide,"

"Nothing wrong with that," Kylee said with a chuckle. "Hey, while I get the cooking supplies, can you get some of the Pokémon food and other things we'll need?"

"Yup!" Alicia said with a giggle as she walked off to find the different trainer supplies.

The two explored the market for awhile gathering what supplies they could that they had needed, it had taken long before they all made their way to where Alder lived, but sadly he wasn't home so they just explored the town before finding a park.

(Floccesy Town – Park – 3:00 PM)

"It sucks that Alder wasn't here…" Kylee said with a sigh as she and Alicia sat on a bench eating a few sandwiches.

"Yeah… Hey, how about we have a battle?" Alicia asked. "We both have just started and neither of us has had any battles yet, not even with a wild Pokémon."

"Sounds good to me, sense I'm sure that you and Flamolf already have some experience, can it be a single Pokémon Battle with my Tepig against your Snivy?" Kylee asked as she stood up with a PokeBall.

"Sounds good, they are our newest Pokémon, so we should get used to them." Alicia said as she stood at a distance apart from Kylee holding her PokeBall.

"You can go first Alicia," Kylee called as she threw out her PokeBall. "Tepig lets go!" as the PokeBall flew, it suddenly popped open letting the young Sire's Fire Pig Pokémon who let out a small snort of embers.

"Okay! Time to battle Snivy!" Alicia said happily as she threw out her PokeBall calling on her Grass Snake Pokémon who did the ballerina twirl with a cute pose upon landing on the ground. "Now what can Snivy do…?" Alicia pulled her PokeDex out and pointed it to Snivy as it activated.

Snivy, the Grass Snake Pokémon, Being exposed to sunlight makes its movements swifter. It uses vines more adeptly than its hands.

"It says she knows Leer and Tackle for right now…" Alicia whispers. "Okay! Snivy use Leer!" With her command let out Snivy moved closer to Tepig and gave him a sharp look in his eyes. The action intimidated Tepig a bit and caused his Defensive stats to lower. "Now Tackle!" In a quick move, Snivy sudden jump and slammed into Tepig hard pushing him back."

"Sni," Snivy said softly as she got back into position apart for Tepig.

"Te, pig Tep…" Tepig said with a few pants having taken more damage than he normally would have from the tackle alone.

"Okay, I need to act," Kylee said as she pulled her PokeDex out and pointed it to Tepig.

Tepig, the Fire Pig Pokémon, It loves to eat roasted berries, but sometimes it gets too excited and burns them to a crisp.

"Okay, he knows Tackle and Tail Whip; I should be able to match Snivy's actions." Kylee whispered. "Tepig, use Tail Whip and then Tackle!" With Tepig's commands, he started by wagging his tail cutely at Snivy. The action lowered her defense while calming her, but Tepig quickly acted and charged at Snivy ramming into her like she had just done to him.

Both retook their position and were both at about the same range of damage.

"I could win this with only a few moves." Alicia muttered. "Snivy, keep using Tackle, and dodge whenever you can!" Snivy quickly acted and tackled at Tepig, but he evaded the move. She continued trying to tackle him and land her hit.

"Good Tepig, keep dodging!" Kylee called out. "Find your opening and use Tackle back!" Tepig kept dodging the moves and tried his own tackle but Snivy quickly dodged it herself. On a few occasions they actually connected in the attack and bounced off each other.

"Once more Snivy! As hard as you can!" Alicia called out. Snivy acted and ran at Tepig ready to deliver her attack.

"Wait for it, then dodge and attack back!" Kylee called. Tepig stood patiently waiting for Snivy to act, and just as soon as Snivy was about to make contact, the Fire Pig Pokémon made a sudden move and dodged the tackle before tackle Snivy to the ground with a thud,

The small Grass Snake Pokémon tried to push herself up before falling to the ground unconscious.

"Snivy!" Alicia said as she ran over to her Pokémon.

"Yay! I won! Great job Tepig!" Kylee said as she hugged her Pokémon before walking to Alicia and Snivy. "Is Snivy okay?"

"Yeah, she's okay, just needs rest." Alicia said as she returned her Pokémon. "Good job with your win Kylee,"

"Thanks Alicia, it was pretty open with us knowing practically the same moves, so either of us could have won it." Kylee said with a giggle.

"Yup, let's get back to the Pokémon Center so that they can rest." Alicia said with a smile as she stood up.

"Okay," Kylee said as she and Alicia walked off to the Pokémon Center.

For the rest of their day, Alicia and Kylee explored the town and either gathered new things or get ready for tomorrow's training day. They had a rather simple but delicious dinner none the less. For a few hours they grew closer to each other and to their own Pokémon. As it got later in the day, they both started getting ready for bed, while Alicia took a bath, Kylee gave her parents a goodnight call. And the same was done while Kylee bathed, but Alicia made her call a little long sense only her mother was there at the moment and her little brother was asleep.

(Floccesy Town Pokémon Center – Phone Booths – 9:30 PM)

"Sweetie you really should be getting back to Kylee and get to bed…" Alicia's mother said calmly with a soft tone.

"I know… but I really miss you Mommy… having you here and able to talk… I wanted as much as I could…" Alicia said with a small sigh as she curled up on the seat in the booth. "I hate how you and Ethan have to live so far away…"

"Oh Alicia… my sweetie baby girl…" The mother said as she let out a small whimper and wiped a few tears away. "I'm a horrible mother for leaving you alone…"

"No! You're a great Mommy! Please don't cry Mommy!" Alicia said in protest. "Mommy I love you, I just wish we could've lived all together and happy…"

"I know baby… I do too…" The woman said as she wiped the tears away. "I love you so much baby…"

"I love you too Mommy…" Alicia said softly. "I wish you could hug me…"

"I do too sweetie… I'm so sorry I wasn't there when you left… I really tried, but I wasn't able to sneak out…"

"It's okay Mommy… I wish I could hear you sing for me while I sleep…" Alicia said with a sigh.

"Maybe you can, do you have the phone your father gave you for emergencies?"

"Yeah…" Alicia said as she fished a white PokeCell from her pocket.

"Go back to your room and call home, I'll answer and sing for you,"

"Thank you Mommy!" Alicia said with a smile and a giggle.

"Goodnight baby,"

"Goodnight Mommy, I love you," Alicia said making a cute kissy face.

"I love you too baby," the mother said with a giggle making the kissy face back before the image cut out.

Alicia, smiling brightly and happily, left the booth and ran back to hers and Kylee's room. Kylee was already asleep and snuggling her Tepig, so Alicia quietly got into bed and snuggled her doll and Flamolf while waiting for her mother's call. It was only a few moment before her call went through.

"Alicia?" The mother asked after calling.

"Hi Mommy," Alicia said with a small yawn and giggle.

Letting out a giggle, the mother started to sing a soft lullaby that she had already done for little Alicia in her youth. The young trainer let out a small yawn and nuzzled her bedding before slowly falling asleep. The mother continued till the song end even after hearing the girls small snores through the phone.

"Sweet dreams baby, I love you" the mother said as she ended the call.

The young budding trainer slept calmly and peacefully through the night thanks to the help of her mother's voice, she maintained a calm quiet rest through the night waiting and hoping for greater adventures tomorrow will hold to her and her new friend.
