I'll just do it myself! Sky screamed angrily in her head as she ran up to her room. She slammed the door and jumped on her bed. Exhausted by anger, she lay on her back, glaring up at the ceiling.

"Vee?"

Sky turned her head slightly to see Voli, the Eevee that Red had caught for her when she was nine. Voli was her best friend, and her greatest confidant. With Green working unpredictable hours at the Gym, and Red always away for some kind of training, Voli had become her constant.

"Voli?" She asked her furry friend. "How do I catch a Ditto?"

"Vee!" Voli said happily, making Sky smile. She was too tired to concentrate on Voli's thoughts right now, so she left the response open ended. Voli could have said anything, and sometimes that was the best thing.

Sky sighed and pulled Voli into a hug. "I just want one so badly." She whispered.

When she had explained to Green how she had fallen in love with the little pink blob that one of the traveling trainers had shown her, he had smiled, but that was it. He hadn't given any encouragement.

'You already have Voli.' He had told her when she pressed the matter. 'That's one rare Pokémon. I don't think you'll have much luck finding another one.'

Green had always had such faith in Sky when she was a kid. Was it because, at age six, her biggest ambition was to be the first kid in her class to memorize that year's Pokémon Champion's team? That had been an easy goal, something she had no problem achieving.

"So, he doesn't really believe I can do anything big." Sky whispered to Voli.

"Fine!" She put Voli down beside her and jumped off her bed. "Then I'll just talk to someone who does believe in me!"

"A Ditto?"

Sky nodded. "Do you think I can do it?"

Amarillo del Bosque Verde got up from where she had been working in her small garden. "I knew someone with a Ditto once." She said, dusting her hands off on her pants. Then she reached up and tightened the tie on her long ponytail. "I'm not sure where she got it from, but I'm pretty sure it was somewhere here in Kanto."

Sky brightened. "So you think I can do it?"

Amarillo nodded. Then her face lit up as if she had just remembered something. "I know someone who can help you!" She exclaimed. "She's a professional capturer. She can catch anything, all she needs is a mission."

"That's great!" Sky clapped her hands together. "Where can I find her?"

Amarillo's face fell slightly. "I don't know." She shook her head sadly. "I haven't seen her in a very long time." She gave Sky a slight smile. "Professor Oak may know." She offered.

Sky blinked in surprise. Her great grandfather? Sky had never met him before, but she knew that he lived in Pallet town. She would never tell Green this, but she was actually very amazed that he was even still alive. It must be the clean air in Pallet.

"Thank you!" Sky said, giving Amarillo a large hug. Then she turned and ran off in the direction of home. She had to prepare for a trip to Pallet town.

Yellow watched as Sky ran off. She smiled at the determination that she saw in the young girl, and remembered when it had been her running off to Pallet town. That had been quite a few years ago, but she still remembered it clearly.

"It was quite a journey." She said, looking down at her Pikachu, Chuchu. "I hope Sky has just as much fun."

Yellow had a special place in her heart for the daughter of the Gym leader. That was kind of a given, seeing as they shared the connection of the powers of the Veridian forest. However, their connection to each other was even more, both Yellow and Sky knew that much, they could feel it.

After all, Sky was Yellow's daughter by blood.
