'They say that when you wish upon a falling star, your wish will come true, but is that really?' A young girl asked herself when she looked in her mirror, grabbing a brush and gently brushed her hair, 'I've been wishing and wishing but my wish never came true… if I want my wish to be fulfilled… I have to work to it myself!' She thought when she placed her brush in a backpack, 'I'll never be allowed to travel… but now that I'm twelve… I.. I'll leave to make my wish come true.', she packed her pyjama's, enough clothes to at least last a week, toothbrush with toothpaste and her trusty teddy for sleeping company.

"Alright that should do." She said and hurled her backpack around her, opened her drawer and took out three Poké-Balls then looked outside, it was already dark and the stars sparkled gently against the black sky. Slowly she went down the stairs, quietly not wanting to wake up her parents. She looked around the living room for the last time then placed a letter onto the table.

The girl sighed softly when a few tears formed into her eyes, "I'm sorry mom… dad…" She said softly, "I just have to do what I have to do…" She murmured then slowly opened the door and tiptoed outside to the cities border. She looked back with tears in her eyes then turned around and looked into the route, she took a slow but steady step away from the city, even though she was trying to be unnoticed, something or rather someone noticed her.
"Hey young lady what are you doing there!?" It suddenly said, the girl leaped up letting out a cry of surprise and went for a dash, "Wait!" The voice screamed again, the little girl didn't listen and dashed away right into the route, she quickly ran into the tall grass and went on her hands and knees hiding from the person who was chasing her.

"Oh, where is that little girl…?" She heard that voice again, slowly she peeked through the grass, she saw an old man with a long white beard and a worried look on his face, deep down she felt bad for the old man so she decided to come out of hiding, "I… I'm here sir." She said looking at her feet, her backpack dangling from one arm.

"Ah I'm so glad." He said and walked to the girl, "What are you doing here so late at night little girl?" He asked friendly, the girl felt a little uneasy, "I… I'm going to start my journey to become a Pokémon master." She said, "Today I had the courage to leave home." She added.

The old man smiled, "I know who you are little Masu, and I also know your situation." He said, the girl suddenly became as white as a ghost and looked into the route again ready to make another dash.

"Wow, wow, don't worry, I'm not going to tell your parents." He quickly said, "I just wanted to give you this here." He added while giving Masu a small thin dark blue rectangular package, "Use it wisely." He said giving a small wink then walked back into the town.

Masu became really curious and opened the little box, in there was something she only saw pictures of, it was the one and only legendary Silver Wing.

Stunned by what that old man just gave her she quickly closed the box and gently placed it in her most safest place of her bag, that Silver Wing is a one of a kind and hard to get your hands on, it is known that once a Silver Wing is used it will return to its rightful owner, which is the most dangerous place known to men, where only the bravest dare to come.

Masu smiled and softly thanked the old man who just was slowly walking back into the city, she then turned to the route, took a deep breath and walked into the tall grass, ready for her adventure to come.

Inside the City the old man peeked back inside the route, seeing the girl safely hiding the item he just gave her, he quickly walked inside a pretty big house. Once inside he sighed deeply and removed his big beard and grey wig and replaced it with his trusty yellow and black cap, 'good luck my girl' he breathed then sighed again and made sure the disguise was properly disposed of.

Present Day

Masu and Keishi were finally reaching the end of the forest they were in for at least a month, during that time they trained their Pokémon for an upcoming gym battle in Goldenrod City, Masu looking a little worried since it's going to be a tough battle, "Keishi… I've battled Whitney before and she really wasn't easy… I even lost to her… I'm worried I'm going to lose again." She said looking down at her feet, Keishi smiled then patted on her back, "You'll do fine, don't worry… you've became allot stronger since you last faced her, it's been one year."

The two trainers were traveling together the moment Masu started her journey, she met Keishi in her first week when she was heading to Azalea Town. She was training her Pokémon and he just happened to pass by and asked for a one on one battle with his Espurr.

Masu accepted the battle and let out her Cyndaquil who was still a little shy against strangers. Eventually Keishi won just barely and asked her where she was headed and decided to tag along since he was also going there. From that moment the two of them have travelled together and training their Pokémon, Masu has gained two badges in her first year, her third gym battle was against Whitney and she lost greatly. Her Cyndaquil who had evolved to a Quilava a week earlier barely held on against Miltank, sadly her Raticate and Pidgeotto got pummelled by it's rollout. After that battle Masu walked away defeated and disappeared into the forest, Keishi rushed after her but lost sight quickly, he searched for days but with no avail. Eventually Keishi let out all his Pokémon to help looking, Espurr and Chinchou stayed with him looking through psychic and electric waves, Castform and Porygon went to look through the city just in case, Flechinder went looking from the sky and Flaaffy went in the forest doing some ground work.

It took him four days to find her somewhere deep in the forest apparently training her Pokémon. He was really mad but also very relieved to have found her, he told her he would help her train her Pokémon to be strong enough to face Whitney.

Throughout the year Masu managed to obtain a Togepi, Corsela and a Munchlax, and today she was finally ready to face Whitney again.

This time she was sure to win from the normal type leader, her Quilava now was a Typhlosion, Pidgeotto was a Pidgeot and her Raticate had become allot stronger. She didn't want to use her Togepi or Munchlax since they were still just babies, but when it was needed they might be able to hold themselves, she had trained her Corsela enough to be able to use recover multiple times.

Walking inside of the city the both trainers stood there in awe, overwhelmed by the hugeness of the city, "Whoaw Masu look at all these buildings!" He said in awe, "Is it me or did the City get bigger in those past few years?", he exclaimed, Masu nodded looking her eyes out into the big city, though she was very baffled, she still was very nervous for her upcoming battle.

Keishi noticed her awkwardness and decided to go for a pit stop at the Department Store and after that a good night rest at the Pokémon Centre.

The very next morning Keishi kicked her out of bed and dragged her straight to the Gym, and as expected there was the Gym leader… Whitney.

"Oh hello, are you here to challenge the gym leader?" A very young girl at the entrance asked sweetly, Keishi shook his head, "No I'm just here to watch, this young lady is though." He said taking a step away from Masu showing a very shy and blushing girl behind him.

"Y..yes… I'm here to uh… c..challenge the g..gym leader…" She said nervous, the little girl chuckled, "Ok, you must be Masu then, you made a reservation to battle this week if I remember?" She said walking to the computer, Masu looked at her in awe, this young girl was so knowledgeable, more then she could think of.

As the if girl could see the puzzled face of Masu's, "Oh, aha yes, I look a lot younger then I am.. I have not grown so much, I'm an actual adult, twenty two years old at that." She said smiling.

Masu's mouth widened then nodded, "Uh, yes I made a reservation to battle against Whitney this week." She said finally being able to form words again, the woman nodded, "For regulation purposes could you give me your full name, age and occupation?" She said, "It is to confirm you are the person you claim you be." She added smiling.

Masu nodded then handed over her trainer card, "I think you mean this?" She asked, the woman smiled, "Yes that would be enough." The woman nodded and registered her trainer card then returned it, "Alright that's all we need, your battle will begin in five minutes, Whitney is still in a very heated battle." She explained, "Could you wait here until she is finished?" She then asked.

Masu nodded and went sitting with Keishi in the waiting room.

It didn't take long until a loud voice beamed through the room, "Winner of the battle Whitney versus Gregory is our great and beloved Whitney itself!", when hearing that Masu paled and hid her head in her hands trying to control her breathing. Seeing his friend panicking he patted her back, "It's going to be alright Masu, you can do it… I believe in you!" He said, Masu looked up when she met with his gorgeous brown eyes, she nodded then all of a sudden the voice beamed through the room again, "Next battler Masu Tsukino please enter the gates to the battlefield" Masu jumped up, "Coming!" She screamed out of habit then looked back at Keishi who gave her a big smile, he then stood up and went to the tribunes, "I'll be cheering for ya!" He screamed throwing a thumbs up then disappeared through the other doors.

Masu took a deep breath, opened the doors and entered the battlefield.
