A/N: Sorry it's so late. I have exams and moving schools and stuff… -_-
It had just turned five in the morning, and as it was every morning a sudden crash could be heard from one particular house in Nuvema Town. The entire village knew well that this was normal, the yelling, the crying, the roaring and the laughing. And did I mention the crashing?
Each morning the villagers would wake up and sigh;
"Ah… Those three are at it again…"
And give it no second thought. They went straight back to their regular business.
They had to admit, the screaming worked as a great alarm.
All this noise came from a large brick house near the exit of the village. It was the home belonging to the Fong family. They were the most well-known family in the entire town, who were known by everybody who lived there for mostly the wrong reasons. The main reason is because they were the nosiest known people in the town.
There was only two Fong's in the family incidentally, the mother Ami Fong and her daughter Haru. They used to be a very quiet family back before the accident happened. They never really interacted with their neighbours.
Ami, Haru, Haru's brother who is now traveling and her father lived happily in that home for many years. But tragedy struck after a few years of living there. When her father was journeying to the Kanto Region, the ship he was in hit against a large rock and he drowned, along with several others. His family was ripped apart and the three mourned for months on end. It was a very sad time for the Fong's.
Then when Haru's elder brother, Ryo went on his journey his mother called him every day to check up on him and every night she prayed for his safety. Scarred memories of her husband still haunted her dreams and she didn't want a repeat of it to happen with her only son. It wasn't until Haru had convinced her mother that Ryo would be fine and she wouldn't need to worry about him so much that she stopped this relentless worry and returned to her ordinary self.
So life went on for the two female Fong's and Nuvema Town was at peace once more. No more mourning and no more tears. It had returned to its peaceful reputation. It did anyway, until Ami's two nieces came to live with them.
These two girls, Sora and Mikan were raised in the loud, busy city of Jubilife in Sinnoh and didn't actually understand the concept of "quiet" or "peaceful". They only knew of noise and ruckus to Ami and Haru's dismay. They had to move in with the two Fong's because of family matters, something involving their parents. They brought the peace out of Nuvema and slowly but surely the people who lived there got used to it and joyfully awaited the day when the three girls left the village on their own Pokémon journey so their lives would return to normal.
Until they came back again…

Once young Mikan had received her clothing from the wooden floor of her Aunt's house, where her sister had thrown them and finished getting dressed, she ran down the wooden stairs and wandered hungrily into the kitchen.
Her elder sister lounged on the couch and Haru ate her cereal at the table lazily. It was six in the morning and as always, Sora and Mikan's fighting had caused the entire family to wake up early. Professor Juniper had called the three teens in the family to come to her lab the day before and all three of them were too excited to sleep. It was Sora's birthday so they presumed she had a present for her. They were all dressed and ready by the time Ami came back downstairs.
She frowned at the girls.
"Now, I want you all to remember you're manners around Professor Juniper, understand?" She asked them.
"Yes ma'am" They said together.
Ami smiled at them.
"Good girls. And if she does give you something…" She grinned. "I want a thank you, okay~"
Haru nodded, Sora grinned cheerfully and Mikan giggled quietly.
All three of the girls were giddy so once Ami finished her lecture; they ran out the door and walked up the dusty path towards the lab.
Sora jumped up giddily and started laughing making Haru and Mikan stare at her in a mix of surprise and shock.
"So you two, what do you think Juniper wants?" She asked happily.
"I think she might want to use us as test dummies…? Maybe for a new experiment that she's planning…" Mikan sighed dreamily.
"And I think you should stop reading them horror comics Mikan. Not all professors are like that." Haru said, patting her on the head.
Further down the path when the laboratory came into view, Sora could make out two figures, one a tall male with glasses the other a blonde girl with a large hat.
The girl began waving furiously at them as they got closer whilst the boy only smiled, adjusting his glasses so he could see them clearer.
"Hey Bianca, hi Cheren~ what are you two doing here? Did Juniper call you as well?" Sora asked them.
Bianca nodded.
"Yup, I wonder what she wants with us." Then she grinned. "I'm super excited; I couldn't stay still this morning"
"We might as well go and see instead of just talking about it…" Cheren sighed, tired of waiting.
Sora grinned and ran ahead of the group, stopping beside the door of the lab.
"Well… at least she's showing her birthday spirit?" Haru chuckled as the group followed her.
XoXoXoXoXoXoXoX
"Happy 16th birthday Sora!"
Professor Juniper cheered once they walked in the door.
Sora went a light pink but thanked her all the same.
The lab was a large white room with machinery everywhere. The desk at the top of the room had sheets scattered messily across it and Juniper herself looked very tired. There was a small briefcase on the desk as well, a beige one.
"Hey Professor Juniper, how are you today?" Bianca asked giddily.
Mikan looked around her as Juniper had a small chat with Bianca.
"Is it just me… or is this room… brighter than usual?" She said lightly as she spun around in small circles. "Maybe it's the cheerful mood everyone is giving off that's making it brighter?"
Juniper laughed, finishing her conversation and smiled at the youngest of the teens.
"You are still your dizzy-giggly self, aren't you Mikan?" She asked the girl who just frowned.
"Last time I checked I was myself and nothing more but since you are the professor I guess that means you're right…"
Juniper sighed at her impossible to understand answer and walked over to stand directly beside the group.
She pulled up a briefcase that she had grabbed off her desk earlier and held it out to Haru.
"Would you mind opening this for me Haru?" She asked her gently.
Haru gave her a confused look and pulled the lock off the sturdy case and opened it slowly. Inside was six pokeballs, two with a sticker with a water sign, two with a grass sign and two with a fire sign. Cheren smiled at Haru who smiled back at her childhood friend. Bianca squealed and she and Mikan began to jump up and down excitedly like little children. Sora just stared blankly at the case. Eventually, a grin slowly crept up on her face.
"N-no way… You're joking aren't you?" She asked her nervously.
Juniper shook her head and smiled at each of the teens in her laboratory.
"You are all the right age to have a Pokémon and I shouldn't be holding you back, nobody should. I believe it's time for you all to start your journeys." She replied.
Each of them stared in awe at the pokeballs.
Juniper pulled out one of each type and held them carefully in her hands. She placed them slowly on her desk and kept one of them in her hand.
"Now then kids, here is the rule you should all know by now but anyway… You may choose one Pokémon from this briefcase. It can be a water type, a grass type or a fire type. There are three Pokémon to choose from"
She held up the pokeball in her hand.
"The first choice is Snivy, a grass type Pokémon"
She threw one of the two grass pokeballs up into the air and a Pokémon that looked like a lizard came out, looking at each of them and then plopping himself lazily on the ground.
"Next is the fire type, Pokabu."
She threw up the fire pokeball.
This pokeball held a small red pig-like Pokémon. He jumped around happily until Snivy hit him with his tail, causing him to fall onto the ground.
"And lastly, who could forget the water type Oshawott?" She laughed.
The last pokeball flashed open and out came a small otter Pokémon, who looked nervous at the amount of people in the room.
"Alright kiddos, go ahead and chose the one you like" Juniper sighed.
Cheren looked at Sora and then at the others.
"Should Sora choose first, it is her birthday today so it would be fair" He chuckled.
"Yeah, you're right~ Cheren is as smart as always" Bianca giggled.
"Alright… I'll pick… um…"
Sora looked at each of the small creatures, Snivy, Pokabu and Oshawott. A frown appeared on her face as she stared harder.
The Oshawott got startled and hid behind the Pokabu, who just sneezed out a miniature cloud of ash from his snout. The Snivy was the only one who stayed as he was, half-asleep.
"Hey, I'll pick you then lazy bum" Sora laughed.
She reached out and picked up the Snivy, who only looked a little bit startled. She held him in both her arms, pressed against her chest.
"I'm gonna take this little guy, okay Professor?" Sora asked "And you will be called Boa~"
"Nice choice Sora, you two will be great partners" Then she looked at the others "Who's next?"
"Mikan can I guess, go ahead Mikan" Haru said kindly.
"Alright…" She sighed.
Mikan skipped daintily over to the three Pokémon, as the Professor had released the second Snivy from his pokeball.
She giggled as the Snivy and Pokabu came over to her and jumped playfully on her knees as she kneeled down, except for the Oshawott who stayed away.
"Ah, that isn't good… We should all play together, we're all friends here~"
The dreamy girl stood back up and slowly reached out for the Oshawott, showing she meant no harm to the small creature. The Oshawott looked at her carefully as she lifted it off the ground.
"Good boy, see? No trouble is there…?"
"Osha…" It squeaked "Osha… Oshawott"
"I know, right?" Mikan giggled "I like you as well. Professor, I'm taking lil' Bubble"
"Ah, so you nicknamed him like Sora? Alright, Haru you're next then" Juniper said.
"Yes ma'am." Haru replied.
She looked at each of the Pokémon for a moment before setting her eyes on the Pokabu. He squealed as she picked him up.
"He acts like a child, he's so cute" She muttered to herself.
"Are you going to take the Pokabu then Haru?" Juniper asked the eldest.
"Yes, I think so." Haru said seriously.
The last two to pick were Cheren and Bianca, so both of them walked up towards the remaining three Pokémon.
Cheren chose the second Pokabu, who was a lot more serious than the first.
Bianca chose the second Oshawott, who was quite confident and a prankster.
"Good job you guys, you are all officially Pokémon owners…" Juniper smiled.
"I wanna go tell Auntie Ami" Mikan told Haru and ran off after thanking the Professor.
"I'll go with her, don't take too long Sora" Haru said and then left as well.

After the two cousins left, Cheren and Bianca grinned at Sora.
"C'mon Sora, let's go outside and battle" Bianca asked happily.
"Okay!" Sora replied eagerly "But let's battle outside, we don't want to ruin the Professors lab"
The three teens ran outside and stood opposite each other.
The Snivy that sat on Sora's shoulder leaped onto the ground and faced Bianca.
"Alright, Boa!" Sora cheered "Go for it"
Bianca pulled out the pokeball she held.
"Let's go my cute little Oshawottie~" She called, summoning the Pokémon.
"Osha, Osha wott!" The Pokémon replied to his trainer.
"I'll judge the match, okay you two?" Cheren asked.
"Right Cheren, anyway I'll go first Bianca" Sora laughed "Boa, use tackle!"
The grass Pokémon hopped directly over to the water type and lowered his head, readying himself for attack. The Oshawott glared at him and then glanced back at his trainer.
"Dodge it Oshawott, then hit back!" Bianca said in reply.
"Osha-wott!" The Oshawott cried and tried to tackle the Snivy.
"Ugh… Boa won't be able to dodge the attack if he's that close…" Sora thought. "What am I gonna do?"
"Oy, what are you doing you idiot?" A voice growled at her. "Just use an attack to escape an attack"
"Huh…?" Who said that?" Sora cried.
"Hmph, you're no help like that… I guess I'll just have to do it myself." The voice grumbled.
Oshawott was just about hit Boa but then he somehow seemingly moved away right before the otter could hit him.
"No… Oshawott did hit him, but it wasn't direct" Sora muttered "Boa used tail whip to push Oshawott away before he hit him so he had more time avoid it"
Boa landed on his feet and glanced back at Sora, giving her what looked like a wink.
"See, I told you so idiot trainer…" The voice chuckled.
Sora blinked in shock.
"B-BOA?" She yelled. "S-since when… did you… TALK?"
And I'm gonna end it here and that's that. It came out alright. I guess.
Pretty much the story is gonna be laid out like this… The three girls will travel together to each of the towns but when it comes to gym battles each one will be separated. If you can understand that weird logic.
R&R but no flaming.
