---New Bark Town at 3 P.M.---
An eight year old girl with mid-back charcoal-grey hair that's tucked into a black boy messanger cap and moonlight-silver eyes layed down on the roof of her house.
"-Yawn- Finally I can get some shut eye now." The girl mumbled to herself as she thought about the chores she had to do earlier that day before closing her eyes.
However, the peace and quiet was soon broken by a shout which made the girl flinch.
"KAGE KUROI GET YOUR LAZY BEHIND DOWN HERE!"
"Well there goes my relaxing afternoon." Kage mumbled before sighing and climbing down a ladder on the side of the house to see a young woman tapping her foot on the ground.
This woman's name is Aiko Kuroi, Kage's mother. Aiko has waist-length ebony-brown hair that's tied into a low ponytail over her right shoulder and hazel-green eyes.
"Hey mum." Kage said casually walking towards her before stopping in mid-step. Why? Because Aiko had a rather menacing glare on her face. "Errr. What's up?"
"WHAT IN THE NAME OF HO-OH WERE YOU DOING ON THE ROOF AGAIN!" Yup. She exploded.
"Ahahaha. Look, I can explain-" "EXPLAIN! OH YOU'LL BE EXPLAINING ALRIGHT! AFTER YOU GET DRESSED UP IN THE DRESS I BOUGHT YOU FOR THE WEDDING TONIGHT!"
"But mum-" "NO BUTS YOUNG LADY NOW GET GOING BEFORE I SEND FLUFFY AFTER YOU!"
Kage froze in terror before, almost instantly, running to her room and locking the door behind her.
She sighed softly before getting changed into a violet dress with white ruffles at the edges and puffy short sleeves.
"Darn it. I hate dresses. Why do I have to wear a dress again? Oh yeah. 'Cuase mum would send Fluffy after me. Tch. How troublesome." Kage mumbled to herself moping slightly.
"Fluffy" is the nickname of Aiko's Granbull who tends to have a habit of biting Kage whenever she dresses like a guy.
"I better get going downstairs now." Kage thought to herself before sighing and reluctantly walking downstairs only to be glomped by her mother.
"Oh you look simply adorable! See didn't I tell you that it wouldn't look bad on you?" Aiko cooed happily as Kage scowled but stayed silent.
"What do you think Fluffy?" Aiko asked her Granbull who nodded and growled in response. "Gran. Bull. Gran! (That's the way you're suppose to dress!)"
"... I think that they're trying to kill me..." Kage thought to herself bitterly as she glared at the violet fabric that she was wearing.
"Well let's get going now shall we?" Aiko said happily before dragging Kage to the car as Fluffy followed along faithfully.
---During the Wedding---
"What in the name of Lugia am I doing here? I don't even know the people who's getting married for Celebi's sake!" Kage grumbled to herself as she tried to make herself invisible which wasn't exactly working.
"Aren't you adorable!" "Come here so that Auntie can give you a hug!" "She definately looks like you m'dear Aiko!" "Such beauty that you have passed on to the next generation!"
Kage sighed and bowed her head in embarressment as the women began to try to pamper her.
"Now now ladies. Really. I can't take all the credit." Aiko said "modestly" as she bowed to them.
"Yeah right." Kage thought sarcasticly as she watched the women begin fussing over Aiko now.
"Wait a minute... My chance! It's time! Escape!" With that Kage sneaked away from the commotion and towards the door that led to the outside.
"Thank Mew that I have finally escaped!" Kage exclaimed while twirling around happily before plopping down on the ground and taking off the stupid high heel dress shoes that she was forced to wear.
"Too bad I didn't bring spare clothes." Kage thought to herself before grinning. "Oh well! At least I'm free from them."
"Kage." A soft voice said as Kage froze and paled. "Funny that I'll be seeing you at the wedding. Thought that you would've hide before she got the chance to force you into the dress."
Kage turned around before her eyes widen. "No way."
There in front of her was a twelve year old boy standing at five feet two inches with short charcoal-grey hair and the same moonlight-silver eyes as her. This boy's name was Yami. Yami Kuroi. Kage's older brother.
"Yami!" Kage chirped happily before tackling him into a hug. "When did you get back?"
Yami smiled slightly. "Not too long ago. I was about to go home when I saw you sneaking out of that place."
Kage scrunched up her face slightly before grinning. "Yup! Gotta hate the place to want to run away from it!"
Yami ruffled her hair before her and giving her a piggyback ride. "C'mon. I'll take you home."
"YAY!" Kage exclaimed before Yami took off in a light run. "WHEEE!"
---Back Home---
Kage had changed into her Pichu pajamas and was currently jumping up and down on her bed while chanting. "YAMI'S BACK! YAMI'S BACK! YAMI'S BACK!" Over and over again.
Yami rolled his eyes before sitting on the bed and grabbing Kage in mid-jump.
"Nooooo! I wanted to jump some more!" Kage said giving a small pout before grinning at Yami. "So are ya gonna tell me about your journey so far? Oh! And your Pokémon too! How's Mizu doing? Well? Yami? Yami! Ya-mpth!" Yami had covered her mouth to lower her volume.
"Jeez. Talk about a talkative Meowth. Can't you relax for a while?" Yami asked before sighing.
Kage sweatdropped and gave a sheepish smile. "Oops. Sorry. I was just excited."
"Gee how could you tell?" Yami said sarcasticly before smiling at Kage's annoyed face. "Anyways, how about I show you my Pokémon instead of telling you about them?"
"Eh! Really? Awesome!" Kage shouted before jumping out of Yami's grasp as he got up.
"C'mon out you guys!" Six flashes of light appeared before it faded into six different figures.
"Wow..." Kage said looking at his Pokemons amazed.
"Kage meet or rather remeet Mizu." Yami said as he patted the Feraligatr on the head. "Raligatr! (Kage!)"
"Holy god of chocolate! That's Mizu? Wow! The last time I saw him was when he was a little Totodile! Now he's a big and strong Feraligatr!" Kage exclaimed looking up at the seven feet seven inches blue crocodile Pokemon.
"Yeah he is big now isn't he?" Yami mused chuckling slightly. "Well, now moving on this is Kami."
"Xa! Xa! Xatu! Xa! (I'm nicknamed Kami! Pleasure to meet you!)"
"A Xatu! I heard that they can see into the future! So can he?"
"Of course he can! Though it took me a while to understand him..."
"That's an awesome power..."
"Well next is Ikazuchi."
"Phorahs! Ampha! (Hello there Kage!)"
"An Amphoras! Wow his coat is so shiney!"
"Actually Kage. Ikazuchi's a girl."
"Eh? Ah! So sorry Ikazuchi!"
"Amphorahs! (It's okay!)"
"Then there's Aka."
"Scizor... (Hello...)"
"Scizor's the evolve form of Scyther right Yami?"
"Yup! Next meet Aoi."
"Dra. (Hi.)"
"A Kingdra? When did you get her?"
"Surprised that you can tell that she's a girl. (Hey!) But I got her when she was a Horsea in the Dragon's Den at Blackthorn City."
"Oh."
"Well anyways. My last Pokemon is Doragon."
"Gon! Gon! Gon! (Hi! Hi! Hi!)"
"Do-ra-gon? I never seen this type of Pokemon before! What is he or she?"
"She is a Flygon and of course you never seen her kind before. They're all in the Hoenn Region."
"The Hoenn Region? You actually traveled there! But it's so far from home!"
"Yeah but it was worth it. I met so many new Pokémon!"
"Will I ever be able to go there?"
"Maybe not yet but after you start your own journey then maybe."
"Wow." Kage whispered looking at Doragon as Yami smiled slightly.
"Which by the way..." Yami said digging into his backpack and pulling something out before giving it to Kage. "Here."
Kage blinked and looked at it. The said object was a yellow Pokémon Egg with black lightning bolts on the sides.
"A Pokémon Egg?" Kage asked before looking at Yami for confirmation.
"Yeah..." Yami said nodding.
"Oh thank you, thank you, thank you!" Kage said hugging Yami while holding the egg carefully.
"No problem."
---The Next Day---
Aiko had not returned home from the wedding and had instead stayed over at one of her friends house for a drink and to party but Kage didn't mind since Yami was there.
Currently, Yami was downstairs and Kage was in her room cleaning her Pokémon Egg before putting it on a basket that she prepared for it.
"I wonder what kind of Pokémon it's going to hatch into... Oh well! Whatever Pokémon it is, I'll take good care of it! No problemo!" Kage thought happily.
"Oi Kage!"
Kage blinked before walking downstairs. "What's up Yami?"
Yami was putting on his sneakers before slinging his backpack over his shoulders. "I got to resume my journey so I got to go now, 'kay?"
Kage frowned slightly before sighing and nodding. "Yeah, okay..." She was looking at the floor trying to keep her emotions hidden before she felt a warm embrace.
"Don't worry. I'll be fine. Besides..." Yami pulled away slightly so that she can see him. "You have a Pokémon Egg to take care of now."
Kage wiped away the tears that threatened to fall. "Y-Yeah. You're right. But be careful, 'kay?"
Yami smirked. "I'm always careful so don't worry." He ruffled her hair before walking out the door and waving a two-fingered wave.
"See ya, Kage. We'll meet up soon and when we do you had better be taking care of the Pokémon got it?"
"Yeah you got it, bro! You can count on me!" Kage replied waving to him as tears fell.
"See ya... big brother..."
