A.N.: Hey everyone, so I'm sorry this chapter is also really short, I promise they'll get longer later! This story got really messed up and I had to rewrite it a whole bunch of times to get it right. Either way I hope you prefer the new version of the story and the chapters will for sure get longer after this!

Chapter One
Amnesia
"Lillianna come here honey." The small girl ran into her aunt and uncle's living room. They were sitting in armchairs. She ran over and sat on the floor like she always did.
"Yes?" She asked.
"We have a present for you." Her uncle said and smiled. The small girl's face lit up.
"You do?" She asked happily her excitement growing.
"Yes. Come here." Her uncle said. Lillianna stood and walked over to her uncle. He picked her up and put her on his knee. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a sphere. It had a red top, a silver bottom, a black circle around the middle, and a silver button in the middle of the circle.
"What is it?" She asked cocking her head to the side.
Her uncle laughed. "It's a pokeball. Open it." Her uncle said. Lillianna stared at it and then clicked the button in the middle. The sphere opened and a white light emitted from it. The white light went in an arch and landed on the ground. The white light then formed itself into a shape. When the light disappeared a small pokemon was sitting on he ground.
Lillianna stared at it and jumped to the ground. She crawled over to it and they stared at each other.
"Eevee!" It said happily. Lillianna's face beamed. She embraced it into a warm hug.
"It's an Eevee! She's so cute!" She squealed. Her aunt and uncle smiled at her.
"Yes, and she's all yours." Lillianna's aunt said.
"Really?" Lillianna asked her eyes growing wide.
"Of course." Her uncle smiled. Lillianna smiled brightly and started running around the house.
"Come on Eevee!" She called happily.
"Eevee!" Eevee replied following Lillianna around the house.
"They really are a cute team." Lillianna's aunt said smiling.
"Yes, they truly are. I wonder what she'll evolve the Eevee into." Her uncle said.
"Oh, I can think of one pokemon she'll probably choose." Lillianna's aunt said and smiled.
"Come on Eevee, let's go play!" Lillianna said happily.
"Eevee!" The Eevee mewed happily. They ran around the house playing tag and hide-and-go-seek. Lillianna had never had so much fun. She rolled over on her back and her Eevee nuzzled up next to her. They stayed like that for awhile until Lillianna turned over and stared at Eevee. She patted Eevee's head and Eevee mewed happily.
Lillianna smiled. "I wish I knew what you were saying, that would be so much fun." She said happily. Eevee mewed in agreement. Lillianna stood and started walking around.
"I'm a priestess you know. Or at least I will be when I'm older. I will be priestess of the Temple of Kyogre the Wise and Temple of Groudon the Strong. Or something like that. I'm apparently supposed to unite the two temples together or something. It sounds hard, but it should be fun at the same time." Lillianna paced around the house with Eevee following behind her listening intently. They got into Lillianna's room and fell on the bed.
"I'm also supposed to be able to talk to pokemon, but I've never been able to. Apparently there's some ritual to it but I don't know what it is and aunt and uncle say I'm too young to know it. I wonder if I can make one up!" She said happily. Lillianna jumped up and snuck into her aunt and uncle's room. She motioned for Eevee to be quiet and they slowly walked into the room. Lillianna quickly ran to her aunt's side of the room and opened her jewelry box.
"It should be in here somewhere." She said searching through her aunt's jewelry box. Finally she found what she was looking for. She picked up the round stone in her hand. It was hidden deeply in her aunt's jewelry box and was about the size of Lillianna's fist. It glowed in all different colours and it was amazing. Lillianna quickly closed the box and darted back to her room. She held the stone in her left hand and put her right hand on Eevee's forehead.
"Uh, let me see, what should I say…" She asked out loud. Finally an idea struck her and she smiled. She closed her eyes and took in a deep breath.
"I, Lillianna Knight, wish this pokemon, and all other pokemon like it, to share their soul with me." She whispered. Suddenly the stone became really hot in Lillianna's hand. Her head started to spin and her hands burned. She started screaming. Her aunt and uncle ran into the room and started yelling at her to stop but she couldn't. It was only after everything went black did the pain that Lillianna felt disappear.
When Lillianna finally woke up her aunt, uncle, and Eevee were sitting around her.
"Oh, oh sweetie are you ok?" Her aunt asked concerned.
"Yes, I'm fine, w-what happened?" She asked confused.
"Don't you remember?" Her uncle asked.
"No, I only remember sitting on the bed with Eevee, that's all." She replied. Her aunt and uncle looked at each other and sighed.
"Maybe it's for the best. We have to keep our little priestess safe after all." Her uncle said and smiled.
"Priestess, what are you talking about?" Lillianna asked. Her aunt and uncle looked at each other than back at her.
"You don't remember?" Her uncle asked.
"Remember what? Were we playing a game? Pretend maybe?" Lillianna asked.
"She doesn't remember." Her aunt whispered.
"Is something wrong?" Lillianna asked confused.
"Oh, no, nothing. I think we better let you get some sleep though, that game really tired you out. We'll leave you with Eevee." Her uncle said and smiled. They both kissed Lillianna on the forehead and left the room. When her uncle and aunt were back in the kitchen they looked at each other.
"She doesn't remember being a priestess." Her aunt said shaking her head.
"No, she doesn't. I don't know what we're supposed to do. We could explain everything, and redo her training, but it would take so long." Her uncle said shaking his head.
"You're right. If only I had hidden the sacred stone, she wouldn't have found it so easily." Her aunt cursed herself.
"No, don't blame yourself, we knew this day might come, but I never imagined she would forget everything." Her uncle said.
"You're right, but, maybe, this is for the best." Her aunt said.
"What are you talking about?" Her uncle asked.
"She's only a child. We can't take that from her because of our own selfish reasons. I think, it would be best, if we left her without the knowledge of being a priestess. I think we should let her be a child for as long as possible. I'll get rid of the stone, maybe throw it into the lake so it can never be found again, but we should keep this quiet." Her aunt explained.
"But what about the prophecy? It won't be fulfilled." Her uncle argued.
"That is a risk we'll have to take. Another priest or priestess will come around soon enough and then we can do it properly, safely. Let Lillianna be a child, it's the only thing we can do for her right now." Her aunt sighed.
"You're right, we'll just have to tell the mayor and hope for the best." Her uncle sighed and rubbed his neck. Her aunt nodded her head and took the sacred stone. She left the house and made her way down the stairs. The water around the city was still and calm. Sootopolis City was so calm and quiet, which is why they loved living there.
Lillianna's aunt walked to the edge of the lake and stared out at it.
"Great Lord Kyogre, Great Lord Groudon, please watch over Lillianna, and keep this secret from her for her own safety and happiness." Her aunt prayed. When she was done she looked at the lake and threw the sacred stone as hard as she could. It flew and landed in the middle, the deepest part. Lillianna's aunt sighed and slowly walked back up to the house.
Lillianna sighed and smiled at Eevee as the small pokemon crawled up onto Lillianna's bed.
"What a day. I wonder what happened. I must have been playing pretend a little too much." She said smiling. Eevee mewed and nuzzled her head under Lillianna's hand. Lillianna smiled and sighed.
"I am pretty tired actually. We must have played tag too. That game really tires me out." She said. Eevee smiled and curled up beside Lillianna. Lilliannasighed and turned over petting Eevee's soft fur. Soon she turned over and got comfy under her covers. When she was warm and content she turned to Eevee and smiled.
"Night Eevee." Lillianna whispered.
"Good night Lillianna." Lillianna for a moment wondered who had said that, but she just turned over and immediately fell asleep.
