She was now 13.

She had lived in the forest her whole life living as a pokemon. Yet today she was leaving, she had too. Celebi was dying, which meant the world was. Something was happening and she was going to find out what. She was going to leave her home today and travel to the nearest town. She was going to do something she swore not to do; she was going to become a pokemon trainer.

Ever since she was little she promised not to enslave her friends, but now she would have too. She was leaving to visit the famous Oak. She knew where he lived and how he was kind to pokemon. She had visited his lab many times, watching from a distance. She couldn't survive off the same things her friends could so she snuck into town and asked the professors pokemon to get her some food from his kitchen. They always agreed as they trusted and loved her. She studied him in her spare time and learnt about the outside world, how children went off into the world to catch pokemon and compete. She found it cruel and disgusting, every few years the professor gave pokemon away to any child that came to his door! Just handing pokemon out like they were objects! Yet today she was going to his lab to get a pokemon for herself, she couldn't take her friends from the forest they were all looking after Celebi and they had family's themselves.

She arrived at the green fields behind the lab, so no one could she her enter. She walked through the grass smiling at the pokemon she passed. She could feel their emotions buzzing off them; happiness, love, hunger...

She saw the professor walking out of his lab he spotted her and was shocked 'how did this girl get into my lab?' 'Who is she?' He was about to yell at her for trespassing when she waved and smiled to him. He stood there stunned and she ran up to him and dragged him inside.

...

The professor sat down, he was breathless. This girl just barges in here then asks him for a pokemon, she didn't care which she just needed to go on a journey and needed to leave today. He tried asking her where she came from, where her parents were ect and she just smiled and said she had no parents and lived in a forest! Did she think he was an idiot? He was still thinking when the girl spoke up.

'I know you don't believe me, but I do really live in a forest and I need a pokemon so I can save my friend.' Her voice was soft and he felt sorry for her. He could see she wasn't bad and she looked like she wasn't lying. 'Okay' he thought 'I'll give her a pokemon, what harm can it do? She's nicer then some of the brats that walk in here.'

He smiled at her. 'Okay I'll give you a pokemon, but first you have to tell me your name.' She jumped off the settee and hugged him hard, grinning madly. 'But I'm sad to say I don't have any regular starters left do you mind?'

'No I don't, I'm just happy to have this pokemon as my friend. He handed her a pokeball silently and turned around to collect a pokedex for her. He turned back and she was gone, on the settee she had just sat was a single scrap of paper. In scruffy writing were two sentences.

Kira, Vita Saltus

Black, the life of the forest.

Oak smiled as he stared after the strange child that ran into the fields behind his lab a darkened shape running by her side.

Authors note: The name Kira is Japanese and actually means 'Dark'. And the rest is Latin, I can't draw the Japanese symbols so yer... :P
