Summary: This is a story about a girl from our world dying and being given the choice to be reborn in the world of Pokémon to help protect it. Despite not knowing why they need her in the first place she accepts. But nothing is as it seems for this world does not seem to follow the story she knew to a T.

Warning: I obviously do not own Pokémon, just some of the OC characters that will be popping up and any background story that I make up for already existing characters.

Second Warning: Ooc warning! Characters may act out of character due to them being older as well as other things that I can't think of while typing this.

Notes: My story will be based off of the Anime and will follow the plot at some points, but will have aspects of the game as well. It will have romance but it will more then likely be on the cutesy side. Also this story will have original episodes, OC's and background stories for characters who previously did not have one. I will also be changing the characters ages some, I mean really it would be awkward to have a bunch of 10 year olds doing more then holding hands and blushing at random moments.

Lyrica- 13

Ash- 13

Gary- 13

Misty- 14 (You know I couldn't find a definite answer about how old she was in the show, but I always assumed she was a year older.)

Brock- 18

Episode One: Pokémon I Choose You! Part 1

(1st Person POV- Lyrica)

~April 1st 1999, 5:30 AM~

"Lyrica I can't believe the day has finally come, My baby girl has grown so big!" My mother shouted and glomped me in a bone crushing hug.

"Mom your crushing me." I squeaked out, feeling my mother smother me to death in her breasts.

"I'm sorry sweetie, but I know how exciting this day for you is. To think your already 13! Oh to be young again." She said while sighing dreamily and still crushing me into her chest.

"Wait you remembered to pack your things right?" Mom asked while looking down at me.

"Of course I did Mom, I don't want to be running late today of all days. Now can you please let go of me please I can't breathe..." I choked out, my face turning a purplish color.

"Oh whoops, sorry sweetie." She let me go and started to look around. "By the way where is Hikari? Didn't you say she agreed to be your first Pokémon?"

I looked away in sadness, missing the mischievous look in her eyes and the devilish smile on her face.

Flashback

It was one of those classic stormy nights when I first met Hikari a year ago. I've never been a fan of thunderstorms, the loud booms and the random flashes of light always scared the hell out of me. I had just been crawling into bed when I heard it, the shout full of pain that sounded like a Pokémon.

"VEE!"

I jumped out of bed at that sound and rushed toward the backdoor where I had heard the sound come from. Right there on my back patio was a heavily injured Eevee bleeding to death. Shocked by this I rushed as quickly as I could to the Eevee's side, took my shirt off, and used it as a temporary bandage to try to stop the bleeding from the huge gash she had on her stomach. Once I had finished putting on the temporary bandage, I had gently picked her up and rushed to my mother. I knew that my mom would know how to keep the Eevee stable until we got it to the Pokémon center.

A few weeks had passed and the sweet Eevee had recovered to full health. Since then she has never left my side, we played together everyday, and I was glad to call Hikari my best friend.

"I don't know mom. She disappeared about a day before Dad went back to Pallet, I haven't seen her since." I sighed.

"Don't worry Lyrica, I'm sure everything will work out in the end. I'll even make sure to send her to you as soon as she gets back." My mother said with a huge grin on her face.

'She's up to something again.' I thought with suspicion.

"Well anyways come on, I'll drive you over to see your father now and to get you officially registered!" She squealed and dashed off in a hurry to get the car.

I couldn't help but smile at her over enthusiasm though, my parents are sure strange. I'm going to miss them so much, but I have no choice. I looked in the mirror in the hallway one last time. Looking back at me was a pretty girl with long purple hair that was put up in a neat ponytail with bangs covering her forehead. Beneath those bangs were green eyes and skin that had a fair complextion. I was wearing an outfit that I chose just for this journey. It was a simple blue crop top with a black vest, matching black shorts, and a blue and black cap with the classic Pokeball logo on the front. To end it off I put on my new shoes that were of course black and blue. You would think with all this that her favorite colors would be black and blue. But no, it's surprisingly green.

'To think once upon a time I was just a shy girl named Sam. That life feels like it was a dream now.' I quietly mused.

'Well I can't keep holding onto that life forever, today is the day I officially let go of Sam. I, Lyrica Node will be officially setting off on my adventure soon to help the chosen as promised! So you better watch out world, because I plan to have fun with this.' I winked at my reflection, walked over to the front door, and closed it for the last time in a very long while.

(3rd Person POV)

~9:17 AM~

As said, 13 year old Lyrica Node of Crimson City finally sets off on her adventure in the world of Pokémon. Currently Lyrica is standing in front of Professor Oak's lab where her Dad, Herald Node works as a lab assistant.

"Whew ok, just relax. It's only one of the most important days of my life. No big deal right?" She whispered quietly to herself while unconsciously clenching her backpacks straps till her knuckles turned white.

'How can I even help Ash if I'm to afraid to even walk through a door?' She frowned at the negative thoughts that were running through her brain. Taking a deep breath, she let go of the backpack straps.

"Ok here I go, into the lab. Yep ok just a few more steps..." She whispered to herself, trying to muster up the confidence she seems to have lost.

Taking a deep breath she let go of her straps and took a step forward, her body shaking with anticipation.

'No more doubt, no more fear.'

"It's my turn to go forwar-"

*Wham*

Lyrica had finally started to open the lab door when out of no where the door opened and hit her in the face, causing her to fall. The boy on the other side clearly didn't see her, in a rush to be somewhere. The result of him not looking where he was going had him tripping over her, landing the said boy's face right in between her boobs.

The boy groaned and sat up a bit to look at what he had landed on, only to see a girl with long indigo hair and vivid light green eyes underneath him. 'She's kind of cute with that blush on her face.' He thought while chuckling out loud, letting a cocky smile spread across his face.

"Well lookie here, I haven't even officially started my journey and I've already got fan girls falling for me." Mystery boy mocked while wiggling his eyebrows suggestively at Lyrica.

"You pervert get off!" She screeched in embarrassment and shoved the perverted boy off of her, causing him to roll into the near by bush.

'That big perverted freak!'

"You ruined my glorious moment!" Lyrica shouted dramatically and stormed inside the lab, not caring if the boy was alright.

After a few seconds the boy crawled out of the bush with a few twigs in his hair and dirt on his clothes.

'Well that was fun.' He thought while looking at the door with amusement in his eyes and a smirk on his face.

~Inside Professor Oak's Laboratory~

'Big pervert, who does he think he is? Shoving his face in my boobs the first chance he gets and then calling me a fan girl.' She grumbled to herself while walking into the lab and looking around for her father with a pout on her face.

"Now what has my little song bird in a fit, hm?" A voice said from behind her.

Lyrica turned around to see who spoke to her and squealed in delight at who she saw standing before her.

"Daddy!" She ran up to him and glomped him, hanging onto him like a koala bear.

"Ah there's my girl." He said with a chuckle while shaking his head in amusement.

"Now what seems to be the trouble?" Herald asked while squirming his way out of her hug.

Lyrica looked around with a blush, trying to come up with an excuse.

"Well..." She trailed off.

'I really don't want to tell him about what just happened.' Racking her brain to come up with a legitimate problem, a flash of her companions face instantly came to mind, causing her to feel a pang in her heart.

"Hikari went missing a day before you left, I wanted to share this day with her." She said while looking away in sadness with a pout once again adorning the youths face.

"I think I may have a solution to your problem then." He said with a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eyes.

"What?" She looked up in surprise.

Herald walked off towards a door on the left and opened it.

Looking back when he didn't hear her footsteps he said, "Come on song bird, I have a gift for you in my lab."

"A gift? Why didn't you say so earlier?" Lyrica said with a hop in her step while skipping into her fathers office. She was always a sucker for surprises.

I waited as patiently as I could in my dads office for him to come back and closed the door behind me. It was a cute little office, mostly full of book shelves with advanced books on Pokémon and personal research that has been done in the lab. Scrapped papers were scattered everywhere, on the floors, desk, somehow even on the ceiling. You wouldn't know it but the tiles on the floor underneath were a cool grey color and the desk was made out of mahogany wood. The lamp on the desk and some of the books on the shelves seemed to be the only things that were in proper order.

"Jeez and you say my room is a mess..." I said out loud absentmindedly while picking up a yellow book on his desk with a cute Chansey on it.

'How to treat your Pokémon while in the wild, a beginners guide to keeping your Pokémon healthy while on your journeys. That sounds helpful.' I thought with a small smile on my face, flipping the first page to see more cute Chanseys posing in cute positions while holding basic Pokémon items next to the index.

"Ah I see you jumped the gun." Dad said with a smile while holding out a gift bag towards me.

"That book there is a part of your farewell present dear. Go on and open your second gift now, I was going to give you a speech along with these but I honestly couldn't think of anything." He said with a chuckle and a huge grin on his face.

I mirrored his smile with a huge one of my own and eagerly took the bag out of his hands. Normally I would have just taken the tissue paper and thrown it to the side to pick up later, but this room was already a mess. So I gently took it out and gave it to my dad to throw away in the trash bin. Opening the bag up to see what was inside I saw the basic starter kit for every beginning trainer as well as a few extras. There was 6 Pokeballs, a Pokedex, 3 potions, a berry case and a wad of cash. I'm pretty lucky to have parents that spoil me, most trainers don't start out with so much.

I could feel my eyes tearing up in happiness as I took all the items out of the gift bag and packed them into my brand new backpack. Looking up at my dad who's eyes also seemed to be a bit watery as well I couldn't help but smile at him so much it hurt.

"Thank you daddy, this means the world to me." I said and rushed over to hug him once again with vigor.

He instantly hugged back with just as much enthusiasm, holding me close like this was the last time he would see me.

'I can't believe she's leaving so soon, where did the cute little girl who liked to always wear her Dragonite costume go?' Herald silently mused to himself.

"I still have one last gift for you and for this I do have a speech for you." He said with a laugh and let go of me. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a Pokeball with a star sticker on the front.

"You already know this I'm sure but remember that being a trainer is not a game. Respect and cherish your Pokémon, remember to feed them, love them, and keep them healthy. Hikari looks up to you as a friend as well as her trainer now so don't abuse that trust. Also always remember to let all of your Pokémon you catch out everyday to exercise and spend time with you." He said while placing the Pokeball in my hand.

"Hikari?" I said while looking at the ball with a hopeful look in my eyes and somehow an even bigger grin then I had before on my face.

I clicked the white button on the Pokeball and saw and felt it enlarge to the proper size that indicated it was ready to release the Pokémon inside. Once again I clicked the button and a beautiful ray of red shot out in front of me. Right there standing before me now was none other then Hikari, the one whom I had constantly been thinking about the past few days since she disappeared.

"Ee Vee Vee!" She chirped in happiness and started to snuggle my leg.

Bending down I gently grabbed her around her stomach and pulled her up into my arms to hug her close to me.

"This is officially the best day ever." I whispered to her while burring my face in her fur, so relieved to know that she was now with me.

"I'm sorry if your mother and I worried you about Hikari's disappearance but you know your mother, she likes to pull surprises on you. That and I wanted to teach Hikari a special move that will help keep her safe on your travels if she's ever in need of it."

"Need of what?" I looked up in confusion.

"You'll see when she gets the chance to show you." He said with a knowing grin.

*Knock, Knock, Knock*

"Herald, the professor said he was in need of assistance with the copy machine again." Came a muffled voice from the other side of the office door.

"I don't know why we even try anymore with that blasted thing, it always breaks the next day anyways." Herald sighed out in exasperation.

"I'm sorry that I have to cut our goodbye short, please remember to call home whenever you can." He said with an apologetic smile on his face.

"It's okay dad, I should probably get going anyways." I said and hugged him again, squishing Hikari between us on accident.

"Go on now I've kept you here long enough." He said while pulling away, giving Hikari a chance to hop out of Lyrica's arms.

"Okay dad, I love you." I said with a smile and started to head towards the door.

I couldn't help but turn around and glomped him in a koala bear hug for a few seconds one last time before turning back to the door again and heading out with Hikari hot on my heels.

"Love you too and don't forget to call!" He shouted out the door before turning to look for his tool box with another sigh.

After Hikari and I exited Professor Oak's lab, I noticed the huge crowd around the gates that I had entered through previously.

'Is that the crowd of people from the first episode?' I mused quietly to myself.

"Gary, Gary he's our man. If he can't do it, no one can!" A bunch of random cheerleaders yelled excitedly.

'Yeah that's them. God, I forgot how obnoxious those girls can get, they need a new hobby. I'm glad I didn't turn out like them.' My body shuddered in disgust at the thought.
