The sun had set by the time I reached Cherrygrove for the third time today. I had rented a room and was sitting on the bed. Fiona was curled up by me sleeping. I held Lumine's pokeball in my hands be for calling her out.

Fiona's head shot up at the sight of the other Pokemon. Lumine just glared daggers at her. I had eaten my dinner and so had Fiona. I pulled some packed Pokemon food out for the dark type. She sniffed it and ate only a few bites before turning away and curling up at the foot of the bed.

I pursed my lips at the moonlight Pokemon, she was so distant from anyone. I got changed in to something more comfortable to sleep in and laid down. Fiona curled up by me and fell back asleep. Lumine was as far away from us a she could get. "Hey Fio?" I whispered, knowing she was asleep. "I'm excited. All of the adventures we get to go on and meet new friends and Pokemon." I yawned, not able to stay awake.

I woke up early the next morning. I quickly got changed, and returned a sleeping Lumine to her pokeball. Fiona lifted her head then laid it back down. "Come on, lazy girl." I teased her, playfully. She turned her head towards me then let out a sigh of thin smoke. She then got to her paws and followed me.

We said our good byes to Nurse Joy and left. Fiona happily bounding ahead, waiting then doing it all over again. I chuckled and ran to catch up with her. I looked in to the tree tops and saw two Pidgeies. I pulled out the pokedex that Professor Oak had given me and held it up.

'Pidgey the tiny bird Pokemon. Common in grassy areas and forests, it is very docile and will chase off enemies by flapping up sand.' The pokedex whirred. I closed it and put it back in my bag as the two bird Pokemon chattered.

I turned to leave as one flew from its branch. It flew over me and grabbed my hat. "Hey! That's mine." I called. The pidgey let out a squawking laugh, as it flew in to a branch and flipped the hat so it was wearing it.

Fiona was laughing at it. "Fiona, can you use tackle please." I asked/told the starter. She looked at me then leaped at the pidgey, who was in a low branch. It was knocked on to the ground and was infuriated, it dropped my hat on the ground then tackled Fiona with amazing speed.

Fiona was knocked back. "Fiona, use SmokeScreen." I called; Fiona billowed out thick black smoke. The pidgey shook its head and flapped its wings sending sand towards Fiona. "Fiona tackle one more time."

The fire type lunged at the flying and normal type. The attack hit and the pigey was sent flying. It got to its feet and the look at me, before grabbing my hat once more and flying off, towards me.

I ducked but it just landed on my shoulder, the hat now on its head. It cooed and looked me in my eye. "Want to come along with me?" I asked it. It nodded and nuzzled my cheek. I took out one of the pokeballs and tapped it on its beak. Red light engulfed it. And after the pokeball moved a few times it stayed still. I picked up the pokeball and my hat.

I held the pokedex open once more and held the pokeball under it. 'Pidgey, female, ability is keen eye. Known attacks are tackle and sand attack'

I took the pigey back out and she took the spot back on my shoulder. "So what to do you want me to call you?" I asked her. She let out several happy chips then cooed. "Um..." I crossed my arms and thought. "How bout Sarah."

I looked at Sarah, and she bit at my nose. "Aw come on girl." I laughed at her retuning her to her pokeball. Fiona stared at me then let out a happy chirp at her new friend. "Now let's get going I at least want to be at Violet City by tomorrow."

We walked along the trail to Dark Cave; it was late noon when I finally stopped to rest. Fiona clasped at my feet and sighed. I sat by her, leaning on the side of the cave. I pulled out some berries, an apple, and Sarah's pokeball. "Let's eat." I told the two Pokemon by me. I gave them the berries and ate the apple.

After our small lunch we set into Dark Cave. I had put Fiona in her pokeball to get some one-on-one training with Sarah. The track trough dark cave was long but not hard. Sarah took her place on her my shoulder and fell asleep there.

I left the cave and blinked attempting to adjust to the light, only to find out it was dark out there too. "Must be later than I thought." I murmured. I looked in the distance I could see city lights. "To late for tonight." I said not wanting to travel all the way in the dark.

I walked out of the cave and over to a small clearing I set down my bag, and pulled out my sleeping bag. I let Fiona and Lumine out gave them and Sarah the rest of the berries. I ate the other apple.

I curled up in my sleeping bag with Fiona lying by me. Sarah was up in a nearby tree and Lumine was curled up on the other side of the clearing. I feel asleep, still excited for tomorrow when I planed to take on Falkner the gym leader of Violet City.

I woke to the sound of Sarah's very shrill squawking. I rolled over, not ready to get up to see what she wanted. She was looking at something in the sky and I looked up. I didn't see any thing, what ever it was, it was gone. Well I knew I wouldn't be able to go back to sleep. I climbed out of the sleeping bag and returned Lumine to her pokeball. "Sorry girl, you're to grumpy and what not, and plus I know you'll just find a way back in here anyway." I clipped the pokeball to my necklace.

"Come along, Sarah, Fiona. Let's get some training in before we take on Falkner." I said brightly to the Pokemon. Sarah chirped and took flight only to land on my shoulder. Fiona ran along ahead.

By the time we got to the city, Fiona and Sarah had perfected new moves. Sarah had learned Quick Attack, and she was very proud of her self. Fiona trotted ahead and puffed fire out of her mouth showing off her new Ember.

"Come on girls." I told them returning Fiona to her pokeball. Sarah sat on my shoulder and looked at the large gym. It was the size of a large building but twice as high. "Wow." I said as Sarah chirped.

I headed first to the pokemon center and left Sarah and Fiona to heal. I sat on the couch and thought about how I would battle Falkner. All I ever knew about the Gym leaders was where they lived and what type they used. I knew Falkner used flying types.

I collected Fiona and Sarah from Nurse Joy and thanked her brightly. I walked over to the Gym Sara opposed to sitting on my shoulder was on my head. I reached for the gym door but was stopped by an old man.

"Hello young lady. I see you're a pokemon trainer! But you can't challenge Falkner to a battle till you battle the Sprout Tower." He said pointing to a tower at the edge of the town. I looked at the tower and back to the old man.

"Thank you sir." I said, flustered by my mistake. I walked towards the tower and the entered it. The main floor was empty but the large wooden pole in the middle was swaying. Sarah nuzzled deeper in my hat.

I climbed to the second floor and then continued up to the top, every so often being challenged by a trainer, after the third time I realized the only Pokemon they used were Bellsprout.

I got to the top and saw the old man from before and a red head storming toward me. "Silver!" I yelled at the boy. He looked at me then glared.

"Oh its you." He said distastefully. I tilted my head confused at why some one could be mad for so long and remembered Lumine. I shrugged Silver and Lumine were two of a kind. I blinked when I remember I never told him my name.

I looked at him he was still standing there glaring at me. "Oh, Silver you never got my name." I told him.

"Do I look like I care?" He asked in a dark voice.

"Um…Well It's Soul. That's my name I mean, Soul." I told him laughing at my self. He looked at me as if I was crazy then left the way I came with out a word. I shrugged at him then walked towards the old man.

"Ah! Young lady. So your name is Soul correct I heard you talking to that young man. He has a fowl temper. Now like I told you before you must beat me in a battle so you can take on the gym." He said laughing now and then took out a pokeball and released a bellsprout.

Sarah flew off of my head and stood in front of me, ready to battle. "Sarah use quick attack!" Sarah lunged forward with incredi1ble speed. She hit the bellsprout and sent it flying. The bellsprout stood up and waited for a command.

"Bellsprout use vine whip." The old man said. The Bellsprouts 'hands' shot out and hit Sarah. Sarah shook off the attack. I told Sarah to once more to use quick attack. Sarah attacked the Bellsprout and the old man's pokemon fainted.

He called out another Bellsprout and the second battle was much like the first one, with me and Sarah the victors. He called out his last pokemon a hoothoot. I recalled a tired Sarah and the called Fiona.

Fiona let out a happy puff of smoke at the battle. "Ok Fiona use ember." I called at her she chirped then shot the fire at the hoothoot. The hoothoot dodged.

"Use hypnoses" The old man said. The hoothoot looked at Fiona.

"Fiona dodge it." I called, Fiona leapt out of the way of the attack. "Fiona use ember again." Fiona shot fire again at the hoothoot. This time the fire hit the hoothoot. When the flames cleared the hoothoot was standing but had a burn on its belly. It flenced at the burn.

"HootHoot use tackle." The old man said, the hoothoot hopped at Fiona and hit her hard. Fiona rolled back wards then got to her feet.

"Fiona use tackle." I told her, she ran at the hoothoot and hit it square in the belly. The hoothoot flew back and hit the pole in the center of the room. It fell down and stood up only to faint form its burn. I picked up Fiona and kissed her head. "Good girl." I said hugging her.

The old man recalled his pokemon. "You did very well and it is obvious that you care a lot about your pokemon. Take this." He handed me a small cd. "It is a TM called Flash. It will light up any cave, but be careful you can only teach it once."

I took the TM from him and put it in my bag. "Now you may take on the gym." He said. I left and went back the way I came in. I took Sarah and Fiona to be healed and rented a room. Once I was in my room I let Sarah and Fiona out.

I took Lumine's pokeball from around my neck and held it. "How am I doing." I asked, talking to someone long gone. "I'll make you proud." I called Lumine out and the trio of pokemon ate the berries I bought earlier.

The team including Lumine fell a sleep. I soon fallowed and fell asleep waiting for my battle with Falkner the next day.

Well there you go. Who was Soul talking to when she held Lumine's pokeball? Why is Lumine such a jurk? Well read to find out.
