A/N: Mind you all, this is written before the prologue, so there
And hey Colton Fox, I saw your review and I just wanted you to know that I already made the Pokemon teams. Hannah does have a Lucario. It's not in this story, but Hannah does have a Charizard, Pikachu, and Dragonite, along with her teams from Sinnoh (combo of Diamond and Platinum), Kanto, Johto, and Unova. The teams are based off what I have in Pokemon Diamond, Platinum, Soul Silver, Fire Red, and Black. Ruby, Sapphire, and their remakes come later, after Pokemon Y. You'll see the nicknames for the Charizard, Pikachu and Dragonite in this chapter.
"What happened four days ago, Hannah?!" Lindsey asked.
"I was forced to turn into the God of Time, and got an advancement of rank." I said quick and easy.
"That doesn't make sense at all, Hannah."
"It means I don't have to run away anymore. I'm safe. I can stay for as long as I want."
"I will get more out of you when you want to explain to me what happened in the last two years while you were gone."
"And I expect to. Lindsey, why exactly are you doing in Nimbasa, especially behind a theater no less."
"I'm proving Piers Morgan wrong and making this little dream of mine true, like that drawing you made all those years ago. You'll see tonight." Lindsey said with a mischievous smile on her face. I made a confused face, and she just laughed. "Come on, time for you to meet the manager of my tour." As she grabbed my hand, and led me to the backstage entrance of the theater.
"Tour?"
When I ran into Lindsey in Nimbasa (quite literally) I explained to her what happened slowly, as she knew that I had Asperger's Syndrome. I was on my own for 1 year and 9 months, and all I did was managed my symptoms to the best of my ability. I went off my Ritalin for 2 years and ran out of my anti-aniexty medications approximately 6 months ago. My Pokemon friends helped me kept me in line. Once Lindsey got over her shock that I showed up, she knew that she had to get me back on a schedule. I asked her to not tell anyone, as I hid my diagnosis from Unova, but she explained the situation to Erich.
"Hey Erich, come in here for a moment. I need to talk to you about something." Lindsey called to him as he passed by Lindsey's greenroom.
"Yea, what's up?" Erich said, walking in.
"Can you close the door? It's for her sanity." Lindsey asked him, gesturing to me.
Erich looked at her, then me, but did it anyway. "So what needs to be private, Lindsey?" He asked.
"Erich, this is my friend Hannah White. She is the Hero of Unova, the Hero of Truth. I ran into her behind the theater, literally." She explained to him, "Even though she saved Unova, she has something that only certain people know about, me included?"
Erich looked at me with a wide-eyed expression, then asked, "How do you know her?"
"I met her when I was almost four." I said, turning away from his face. "she was lost in Nuvema Forest. It was easier for me to talk to her, which was strange for me."
Erich was surprised at my omission that I was an old friend of Lindsey. "So, you are an old friend of Lindsey. How does she know about your 'condition'?"
"I was involved in diagnosing it." Lindsey admitted, "I noticed her behavior and told her teacher. Turns out she was collecting evidence to present to the school board and her mother. Erich, Hannah has a form of autism, called Asperger's Syndrome. Please don't think differently of her, she hate that."
Erich got a wide eyed expression on his face, and asked, "You serious? The Hero of Truth has a form of autism!? Then how did she hide it so well?:
"I, uhh, hid it well enough for the public to think that I'm just odd." I sheepishly said, signing because I was getting nervous, "Actually, I was under a lot of pressure in keeping my control. I have...certain issues relating to the Gods of Creation. Let's just say that I'm special to one of them. And besides, Asperger's is a form of high function autism, and when you meet someone with Asperger's, you can't tell that they are autistic. That is what the media saw, not the people who know me. Hell, I didn't even tell Cheren or Bianca I was autistic until after Dragonspiral Tower. I was so nervous that they'll treat me differently after they knew. that's one of my fears, being judged on who I am based on my dad and my autism. People always judge me after they find out who my dad is or after they find out I'm autistic!" After that, I started rocking. Lindsey sat down right next to me and softly grabbed me.
"Now do you see, Erich, I need someone to help me. She's been away from her schedules too long. I need to get her back on them, and help with her symptoms. Are you willing to help me?" Lindsey asked him.
Maybe he saw that I was very nervous, or that Lindsey really convinced him to help, so he said, "Fine. I can see that you really care for her, and I can really see why you need to help Hannah, as she is having some kind of break down right now."
Lindsey was relieved, and said, "Thank you Erich. I was totally worried that you would not help us. This is just what happens when she talks about her Asperger's. Until she was 6, three months shy of her 7th birthday, she got sick and had to go to her dad, I worked with her because she didn't know how to interact with society. I figured out that using Pokemon would get her to talk more and they could help her with social interactions. Delgado, Melody, and her Pokemon Ricky, Brandon and Lucy, helped her too. It was only three years later I got to see her again. By request of her mom, I worked with her again, this time officially because of my degree program. When she started her Pokemon journey through Unova, Hannah came to visit me. She told me of her problems, however very vague, because she needed to talk to someone. But, after she finally stopped Team Plasma and captured the remaining Plasma sages, all Hannah did was leave a video message that was extremely vague and she disappeared from Unova." Directing the last part to me.
"ALRIGHT ALREADY! I GET IT, I LEFT WITHOUT SAYING A WORD!" I loudly snapped, forcing both of them to cover their ears with their hands, "I had issues to take care of. And something happened, something good. Basically, when I fought Ghetsis I lost control, and that caused him to lose his sanity and he is now attacking Unova again. So long story short, it's my fault he's like this and my cousin Rosa is dealing with my mistake. This mistake also caused me to leave because I lost control and I didn't want anyone hurt because of me. I rather give myself up than have my friends suffer because of me."
Erich sighed, and said, "So the Hero of Unova has made mistakes. This disproves everyone's theory that she left because she was going to get stronger."
"Actually, I had several reasons why I left. I am already strong, and one of my real reasons is that I wanted to find him. I wanted to tell him that he is forgiven and the International Police will not charge him. And I want to tell him something I wanted to say before he left, but he left before I could say it. I rather not say it."
"Ah, so it's private thing. You'll tell me later." Lindsey said, smirking.
"Like all the things I need to explain." Rolling my eyes.
"Mark my words, Hannah, you WILL tell me everything, ever since you were 10!"
"Not in one afternoon I won't. It's actually extremely complicated, and unbelievable."
"Okay, not following at all." Erich said, confused.
"That's how it always is." I said.
"You can leave now Erich." Lindsey said, dismissing him.
"Thank you, now I can leave this conversation that is getting very odd." He said, leaving the room.
"So it's getting Pretty. Odd.?" I smirked.
"What was that, Hannah?" Lindsey asked me, completely confused.
"I was browsing a department store in the music section, and came across a CD titled that. It's by Panic! At The Disco. I heard that they came out with a new album, called Vices and Virtues. I really want that." I said, shrugging.
"Sometimes, I don't get your music tastes. Does the music speak to your soul?" Lindsey asked me.
"The lyrics do." I said.
Lindsey sighed, and said, "Moving on from that odd tidbit, do you want to meet my band members, Drew and Gavi?"
A/N: I had to do it. They are somewhere in this AU. Along with Fall Out Boy. And any band. And YouTubers! See you later!
