I am

I awoke to the sound of the bird pokemon chirping. I stretched tiredly and looked to my left at Snow. She was still soundly asleep. I smiled. I poked her gently, her eyes shooting open.

"Good morning, Snow," I said, happily.

The pokemon stood up, and did a cat stretch, yawning in the process.

I then stood up and rolled the sleeping back up, and put it back into my backpack.

I then pulled out some poke food, poured some onto the ground, and said, "Here you go, Snow. Eat up!"

She immediately began to eat the poke food. I giggled. I pulled out two Oran berries and ate them both.

Snow finished her poke food and stared up at me, smiling. I smiled back. I placed my backpack on my shoulders.

"Let's go!" I said.

I turned and began to walk, Snow rushing to my side.

"Ash!" I heard a girl's voice yell.

"I'm sorry, Dawn!" a boy's voice yelled.

I looked to my right and saw a raven haired boy arguing with a girl with black hair. A boy with spikey brown hair was trying to calm them down.

I looked down at Snow. She smiled at me, and turned to the group.

"Snow….," I said.

She then began to walk towards the group.

I sighed and walked with her.

What are you up to: I thought as we walked towards them.

The pokemon then jumped in between the two bickering people. They both looked down at Snow. Snow was smiling at the girl.

The girl then smiled and said, "Well aren't you a cutie?"

She then picked Snow up, and petted her. The boy sighed in relief, probably because the girl stopped yelling at him.

"Snow!" I yelled, running towards them now.

The girl looked at me and so did Snow. Snow blushed.

"I'm sorry," the girl said, "Is this pokemon yours?"

I reached her and nodded her head. "Yes," I said, glaring at Snow, "Snow is my Icic."

Snow then jumped out of the girl's hands and into my arms, where she snuggled her face against my chest.

"An Icic?" the raven haired boy asked, pulling out a red pokedex, pointing it at Icic.

"No data on this pokemon found," a computerized voice said.

All three of the people looked at me.

I felt my face grow hot as I laughed nervously.

"Yeah, I thought so," I said, "You see, Snow, is a suppose new breed of pokemon that Professor Rowan found. I don't know much about her, but I do know that she is my pokemon and my friend."

I smiled while looking at Snow, who smiled back.

I then looked up at the three standing before me and said, "My name is Anora by the way."

The raven haired boy smiled and said, "My name is Ash." A Pikachu jumped onto his shoulder. "And this is my buddy, Pikachu." The Pikachu smiled.

The girl smiled and said, "I'm Dawn." A Piplup stood proudly in front of her.

Dawn giggled and said, "And this is my Piplup."The boy smiled. I then realized he was holding my hand, and said, "My dear my name is Brock. Maybe you and I could get together and-" I saw him cringe and fall to the ground.

I saw him get dragged off by a Croagunk.

I giggled slightly.

I saw Ash's eyes advert to Snow, who lay comfortably in my arms.

"Hey, Anora," Ash asked, "Can we battle?"

I smiled and thought about it. I ran my fingers through Snow's fur.

"Well…," I said, "It would give me a chance to see what Snow can do."

I then smiled and said, "Sure, why not?"

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Pikachu, thunderbolt!" Ash yelled.

"Snow!" I yelled, but it was too late.

Pikachu's electrical attack hit my weakened Snow, and she fainted.

She fell to the ground. I ran towards her, starting to panic.

"Snow!" I yelled, bending down towards her.

She opened her small eyes half way, and looked at me sadly.

"Ice….," she said, sadly.

I smiled and said, "You did great, Snow. You were amazing."

She smiled at me.

Brock then walked towards me with a potion.

"Let me take a look at her," he said, taking her from my arms.

I watched as he sprayed the potion onto Snow's body.

"Hey, Anora?" I heard Ash say from behind.

I turned to see him and Pikachu looking at me, sad.

"We're sorry, Anora," Ash said, "We shouldn't have been so hard on you and Snow."

I smiled and said, "It's all right, Ash. It's nothing to worry about. You and Pikachu just showed us that we need to work harder!"

Ash smiled and so did Pikachu.

"PIKA!" said a cry from behind.

We turned around to see a dark yellow Pikachu running towards a rapid river. Chasing it from behind was a pack of Zangoose. They were slicing at the Pikachu, chasing it closer and closer to the river.

"No!" I said. I looked at the others and said, "We have to help it!"

I then ran towards the Zangoose. When I got closer I picked up a rock, and threw the rock at the Zangoose in the front.

"Leave it alone!" I yelled as I threw the rock.

They all then looked at me, anger in their eyes. They then began to run towards me.

I frowned and took a step back.

"Anora!" Ash, Dawn, and Brock yelled.

"Charizard, flamethrower!" a voice yelled.

A huge stream of fire then blocked the Zangoose from my path.

I looked up and saw a dark red Charizard with amber eyes. On its back was...

"Darken!" I yelled.

I turned back to the Zangoose, who I saw run back to their first target, who was lying tiredly beside the river.

"No!" I yelled.

They reached the Pikachu, and before it could move, the Zangoose attacked it, sending it into the rapid river.

"NO!" I yelled again, diving into the water after it.

I grabbed the Pikachu, holding onto it tightly.

It looked at me, confused.

"Pika?" it asked.

"Don't worry," I said with a forced smile, "You're going to be all right."

It just continued to stare at me.

"Anora!" a voice yelled.

I tried to look up passed the water. I saw Ash and Dawn running on the side of the river, absolute worry on their faces.

"Anora, you have to get out of there, and now!" Ash yelled, "There's a waterfall coming!"

I widened my eyes and looked behind me. There was indeed a waterfall, and I was getting closer and closer to it.

"Pikachu!" the Pikachu in my arms yelled.

I squeezed it and said, "Don't worry. I won't let you get hurt."

The pokemon stared at me in amazement. At that moment, I felt us falling down the waterfall.

I screamed, closing my eyes, but clutched the Pikachu harder.

I then felt something grab me. I opened my eyes to see the Charizard holding me, flying me back to land.

We landed on the ground, and the pokemon let me go. My arms let the small pokemon in my arms free. It then stared at me in amazement once again.

It then wrapped its tiny arms onto my sides into a hug. "Pika Pikachu!" it said.

I smiled and patted the Pikachu's head. It released me, landing onto the ground. It stared up at me. I stared back.

The Pikachu then jumped onto my shoulders. I stared at the pokemon in shock. It was just smiling at me.

"Pikaa!" it said, happily.

I could only blink.

"Do you," I asked, "Do you want to join us?"

The Pikachu nodded her head.

I smiled and said, "Alright then!"

I pulled out a poke ball.

I looked at the Pikachu and quickly thought.

"How bout I name you Pecha?" I asked the Pikachu.

It eyes sparkled as she nodded her head. She then pushed the button on the poke ball and disappeared inside of it.

I smiled at the poke ball. It was a strange catch, but a catch was a catch.

"Hey," a voice said from behind.

I turned to see Darken, smiling slyly at me, his Charizard by his side.

I narrowed my eyebrows and glared at him.

"What?" I asked coldly.

He chuckled and said, "You know, most people would be grateful if someone saved their life. They would even say thank you. Did you know that?"

I smiled and said, "Yeah I did."

I looked at the Charizard and said, "Thank you, Charizard."

I saw Darken frown, and the Charizard laughed. I then saw Darken smirk. He then walked towards me. He reached me, and looked down at me. He was so tall!

He bent down, and whispered in my ear, "You're so feisty." His cool breathe hit against my ear.

I felt my face grow hot, and my heart began to pump faster.

He chuckled as if he knew he was causing both.

My heart began to hurt, it was pumping so hard. I clutched Pecha's poke ball.

He then moved his face to in front of mine. I saw his light blue eyes sparkle.

He then moved closer and placed his lips swiftly onto mine. His lips were so cold, they sent shivers down my spine. It was over quickly, but it felt like forever to me. He smiled at me, and moved to my ear once again.

"You're mine, Anora," he said. He then turned around, and got onto his Charizard.

Before I could say something back, he was off into the sky.

I stomped my foot and yelled, "That arrogant jerk!"

"Um, Anora?"

I turned around to see Ash and the others staring at me.

I felt my face grow hot.

"Was that guy your boyfriend?" Ash asked.

I felt my face grow hotter.

I yelled, "NO!"

He then asked, "Then why'd he kiss you?"

I didn't think it was possible, but my face grew even hotter.

I turned around and yelled, "I DON'T KNOW!"

I breathed in and out calmly.

I turned around and smiled.

They all blinked at me.

"Well, I better be off to Jubilife," I said, looking at Snow, "We have to work on our contest stuff."

"You're a Coordinator?" Dawn asked excitedly.

"I'm going to be one," I said.

"Hey is there going to be only one contest in Jubilife?" Dawn asked, slight sadness in her voice.

I shook my head and replied, "From what I've heard there are going to be two, one following the first one."

Dawn smiled.

I waved at them and said, "See you guys later!"

I then ran off with Snow, running the way towards Jubilife

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (couple of days later)

"Ok, Snow," I said, brushing her fur with a silver brush, "You're just going to have to use a poke ball only in contests. Is that ok?"

"Ice!" she barked happily.

Satisfied with her fur, I moved onto Pecha's, who appeared to not really like it.

"Now remember, you two," I continued, "Good entrance, ok?"

They both looked at me and smiled.

I smiled back, and pulled out two poke balls.

"Return!" I said.

They went inside the poke balls. I then placed poke capsules on their poke balls. I breathed in deeply. I looked at a clock at my heart stopped.

"Oh my gosh!" I said, grabbing my backpack, "It's about to start! I have to get dressed!"

I then ran towards a dressing room. I then stopped. I turned around, and in a corner I saw Darken smiling. I turned around and breathed in. I then turned back around and he was gone.

I walked towards the dressing room, muttering, "I'm going crazy."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Ok, ladies and gentlemen," I heard Lily yell, "Our next performer is Anora Smith from Sandgem Town." Technically I wasn't from Sandgem, but I lived close enough.

I walked out onto the stadium, breathing in and out. I finally saw the crowd and breathed in once again.

I wore a slim aqua dress, and had actually let my hair down.

"Ok," I whispered, pulling out two poke balls, "I'm ready."

But before I released the pokemon, something in the audience caught my attention. A certain black haired boy with light blue eyes. Darken was staring at me, smiling.

I gulped.

I threw the poke balls in the air, yelling, "Let's do this! Come on Snow and Pecha!"

The poke balls opened, snow and electricity mixing together around the two pokemon.

"Now!" I yelled.

They both then broke through the electrified snow.

The crowd roared.

"A beautiful entrance!" Lily said through the microphone.

Snow and Pecha landed by my side.

I looked at them and asked, "Are you two ready?"

They both looked at me seriously and nodded their heads.

I smiled. I pointed to the center field, yelling, "Go, Pecha!"

Pecha ran to the middle of the field.

"Spark!" I yelled.

Pecha smiled and bent down.

"Pika!" she yelled, electric sparks flying from her body.

The crowd stared at her in amazement.

I smiled. I looked down at Snow and said, "Do your thing, Snow."

She nodded her head and ran towards Pecha. She stopped a foot away from the sparks.

"Psychic!" I yelled.

She closed her eyes then shot them open, revealing them to be light blue. A blue outline then surrounded the sparks.

I smiled and yelled, "Now, Snow!"

The sparks then started to move.

"ICE!" Snow yelled.

The sparks then took the shapes of hearts. The crowd roared.

Almost done: I thought.

"Now," I said, "Ice Beam, Snow!"

Still having blue eyes, Snow opened her mouth, and shot the Ice Beam at the electric hearts. They froze when she hit them.

Snow still made them hover with Psychic.

I looked at Pecha, and said, "Pecha, break them with Thunderbolt!"

Pecha smiled, and closed her eyes. She then let loose from her cheeks, a large amount of electricity.

The Thunderbolt hit the frozen hearts and smashed them, sending snow falling.

"Amazing!" Lily yelled.

The crowd roared.

"Let's see what our judges think," she said.

I turned around, Pecha and Snow appearing by my side.

A man in a red tux said, "That was amazing. The combination of electric and ice was incredible!"

I then looked at a small bald headed man. He said, "REMARKABLE!"

I giggled.

I then turned to Nurse Joy, who said, "That was absolutely incredible! I have never seen anyone use those two like you. I would like to ask, thought. What kind of pokemon is Snow?"

Everything went quiet. It looked like the crowd wanted to know as well.

I smiled and said, "Well, Nurse Joy, Snow is an Icic, a new pokemon discovered by Professor Rowan."

Nurse Joy smiled.

I then turned around and waved to the crowd. Pecha followed and Snow just smiled.

I then looked at them and said, "Let's go you guys."

We then ran off the stage.

I walked to a bench and sat down. I sighed. Pecha and Snow jumped up next to me.

I smiled at them and said, "You both were amazing, and I just want to let you know. It's alright if we don't make it to the next round. You two did your absolute best and I'm proud."

The two pokemon smiled and nuzzled me. I giggled.

"Hey," a voice said.

I looked up to see Darken.

I frowned. I still remembered what he did the last time I saw him.

I stood up and pushed him in the chest, saying, "What gives you the right to kiss me and tell me I'm yours?!"

He chuckled.

I felt my face grow hot as I yelled, "It's not funny! You have no right to kiss me!"

He said, "Yes I do."

I glared at him and yelled, "What gives you the right?! Tell me!"

He smiled and said, "You're mine. That's that."

I narrowed my eyebrows, my face growing hotter by the second.

"I. Am. Not. Yours!" I yelled.

He chuckled again, saying, "That's what you think."

I yelled, "Get away from me, you creep! I don't even know you!"

He smiled and replied, "That doesn't matter."

"That doesn't matter?!" I yelled, "There are two problems with me being 'yours'. One: I know nothing about you, and two: I don't like you!"

He chuckled once again.

"Stop laughing," I yelled, "It's not funny!"

He stepped closer, saying, "I think it's hilarious."

I backed away from him.

He stared at me and asked, "Why do you tempt fate?"

"Tempt fate?!" I yelled, "I don't know what you're talking about!"

"Our first round is Anora Smith and John Kade," Lily said through the microphone.

I was yelling at him for so long, I didn't even realize I made it to the second round.

I looked at Pecha and said, "I'm going to use you, girl."

I looked at Snow and said, "I'm sorry."

She just smiled. We all then walked out onto the stage.

"Good luck, Anora," Darken said.

I turned around to yell at him, but he was gone.

I turned my attention towards the stage, and muttered, "Obnoxious, self-centered jerk."

Pecha stepped onto the field.

A boy with red hair and green eyes was my opponent.

He pulled out a poke ball, yelling, "Go, Squirtle!"

Out came a dark blue Squirtle.

"Begin!" Lily yelled.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"We now enter the one minute part of the final round," Lily said, "Anora and Zanier are neck and neck!"

"Go, Pecha," I yelled, "Thundershock!"

"Dodge it, Monferno!" Zanier yelled.

Pecha shot out electricity, but it barely missed Monferno.

"Fire punch!" Zanier yelled.

"Dodge!" I yelled.

I was too late. Pecha was it on the mouth, and was sent to the ground. Pecha then fainted.

"That's it, ladies and gentlemen!" Lily yelled, "Our contest winner is Zanier from Sunyshore City!"

"Pecha!" I yelled, running to my fallen Pikachu.

She stood up and looked at me in the eyes. She looked away.

I turned her head to face me, and said, "Hey, you did your best, sweetie."

She shook her head, saying, "Pika Pik Pikachu."

"It's ok," I said sweetly, "We can enter the next contest in Pastoria."

She looked up at me. Snow appeared by her and patted her shoulder with her paw.

"Icic Ice Ici Icic," Snow said.

Pecha smiled.

I embraced them both into a hug.

"Anora!" a girl's voice cried.

I turned to see Dawn, Ash, and Brock running towards me.

"You were amazing, Anora!" Dawn said. She looked at Pecha and said, "Great battling!"

Pecha blushed, and scratched her head nervously. Ash's Pikachu jumped from his shoulders and in front of Pecha.

"Pika," he said, "Pika Pi Pikaaachu."

Pecha blushed even more, and ran behind Snow.

Snow smiled slyly. I giggled.

"Hey, Anora," Ash said.

I looked at him.

He was smiling, and said, "That was amazing!"

I felt my face grow hot. I said, "I didn't know you guys were here."

"Of course," Brock said, "We wouldn't miss an opportunity to see you compete."

I smiled.

Dawn looked at me and said, "My contest is tomorrow, Anora."

I frowned and said, "I'm sorry, Dawn, but I have to go. I have a long trip. I'm terribly sorry."

She smiled and said, "It's alright. Sooner or later we're both going to compete in the Grande Festival."

"Hey, Anora," Ash said, catching my attention again.

I looked at him.

He stared at Pecha, who was trying to hide from Ash's Pikachu. Ash's was trying to talk to her.

"I think Pecha likes Pikachu," he said, laughing.

I laughed with him.

I hugged Dawn, saying, "Thanks for coming."

I hugged Brock. He blushed and fell to the ground.

I blinked, asking, "Does he always do that?"

Ash laughed, saying, "Yeah he does."

I then hugged Ash, saying, "Thanks for the support."

I opened my eyes to see Darken staring angrily at me. I saw him clutch a seat. He let it go and walked out the stadium, slamming the door.

I let Ash go. I saw his face was dark red.

I smiled and said, "I better head to the Pokemon Center. I want to go before nightfall."

I waved goodbye, Pecha jumping onto my shoulders, along with Snow.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

It was nightfall. I was sitting around a fire, Pecha and Snow sleeping on the sleeping bag I pulled out. I was sitting on a log, staring at the sky.

You're mine. That's that.

Why do you tempt fate?

I shook his voice from my head.

I stirred the fire with a stick.

"Stupid, obnoxious, self-centered jerk," I said stirring the fire, "He can't just tell me I'm his."

I sighed. I looked at the bucket of water beside me. I picked it up and poured it on the fire. I then walked towards the sleeping bag and crawled in it. I closed my eyes, feeling my consciousness beginning to fail me.

I then felt breathing on my neck. It was cool. I couldn't open my eyes even if I tried.

The cool breath moved to my ear.

"You're mine, Anora," said a voice, "Don't make it harder than it is."

The voice then disappeared and I fell asleep.

(Shudders) creepy dude, huh? this is the longest chapter I have ever typed. 15 pages! Come on! Give me some reviews people! :D
