Chapter 1: Girl meets Boy

Alex awoke to the sound of her alarm clock. She stared at it, her vision still swimming as it rang obnoxiously. As it continued to beat, Alex's vision cleared. She lazily raised her hand, and slapped the off button on the top. She let her arm fall and she buried her face into her pillow. A few moments later, she rose out of bed, she stood up, and moved her egg from the west window, to the east window. So it would always be in the sun. She always hoped she would wake up and find it hatched, but it had already been 6 years, and it was still an egg. When she placed the egg down, she looked out the window at Twinleaf town. She missed Petalburg. They had only recently moved after Alex's parents decided to separate. She had put up such a fight with both of them about moving.
"What about school? What about my friends?" she screamed one night. They both just stared with a look of annoyance. Alex threw temper tantrums, cried, locked herself in her room, yelled, screamed, and broke things. But she never asked the question she really wanted to know. 'How will Brother find us?'

Alex sat at the kitchen table at 9 in the morning, as she did every morning. She had a notebook and her simulator infront of her. She also had a cup of hot coffee ready for her mom. Alex blinked twice, and tried to rub the sleep from her eyes. She was up late too late last night, and now she was very tired. She heard footsteps coming down the stairs behind her, but she didn't look. She knew it was her mother, bringing down her course book that she received in the mail three weeks ago. That was the worst part about living in a small town such as this; There was no one her age anymore. There used to be a two boys her age living here, but shortly after she arrived, they met Prof. Rowan, and then they set off on their adventure. Now the only people she saw, was her mother and her mother's friends.

Alex's mother sat down at the table and flipped to the math part of the binder. She had placed a bookmark where they left off. She pulled it out, and set it aside. She placed the book flat down on the table and looked at Alex. Alex stared at the table, and fiddled with her thumbs.
"Ready?" she asked quietly. Alex nodded, but didn't say anything. Her mother sighed, and began to teach her geometry.

a few hours later, Alex's mother dismissed her from her lessons, and let her have the rest of the day to herself. Alex decided that she would go for a walk. she pulled on her best white running shoes, fixed her shoulder length blue hair, and walked out the door. she looked around the village. there wasn't much to do. A few people were out and about, tending to their daily chores, usually with the help of their remaining Pokemon. Most people set theirs free, or gave them to their kids. All of whom, would go out into the world and make their own lives. Alex walked north of town, and slowly out of view of all the villagers. most of them didn't know her, and thus, didn't pay her any attention anyways. As she left the town limits, she looked to her right, at the tall grass that prevented her from going to the next town. It was the first lesson anyone was ever taught as a child. "Don't go into the tall grass alone! Wild Pokemon might attack you!" Alex wondered why people just let feral animals roam outside a town with not so much as a fence to protect people. she moved closer to the patch of grass. When she approached it, it was still. she sat down, hugged her knees, and stared into the grass. At first, it was just a small movement, the grass swayed unnaturally. It began to move more and more. eventually she could catch glimpses of Pokemon as they ran past the grass right in front of her. She could see the brown of a Bidoof, and the gray of a Starly. Every now and then, she would see a Pokemon run from the grass into the large trees near by. She had been sitting there for almost an hour, just watching the grass move, and the pokemon within it, when a voice above her called out
"Are you alright miss?" Alex looked up quickly, startled. A boy, only a little bit older than she was was looking down at her from above the small ledge. Alex stood up, her head only came to about the boys shoes. He jumped down, and surprisingly, was shorter than Alex. The boy was wearing a red short sleeve shirt, and blue jeans. he had a backpack on, but it looked empty. Alex's eyes drifted down to the boys belt. It held a single Pokeball. "You look like you were about to go into the grass."
"No, I know that much. I was just..." But Alex didn't even know what she had been doing. "Observing." she finished her sentence, hoping that he wouldn't press the subject.
"Observing what?" the boy asked, dashing her hopes to the ground. Alex sighed and shrugged. "Oh well then. I was just heading the the lake, wanna come with me?"
"What's your name?"
"Colton. Most people just call me Colt!"
"Really?"
"No, no one calls me Colt." He hung his head. Alex smiled, and agreed to go with him.

"So Colt, what kind of Pokemon do you have?" Alex asked as they walked towards the lake.
"My Favourite! My older sister sent it to me from Kanto!" He grabbed the walnut sized pokeball from his waist, and a pressed the button in the middle. it grew from the size of a walnut, to about the size of an orange. "Ready for this?" Colt asked, making sure that Alex was watching. He smiled as he threw the ball into the air "GO! EEVEE!" A flash of red light startled Alex, and she shut her eyes and turned her head away. When she looked back, a small brown Eevee was sitting on the grass infront of her. Colt caught the ball as it fell, and ran over to the Eevee. it looked up at Alex for a moment, and narrowed it's eyes slightly, but before Alex could really notice, it turned, and jumped up into Colt's arms. Alex looked at the grass for a moment, and thought about her Pokemon egg, and her brother. Colt tossed the Eevee into the air, and kept on walking. They all arrived at the lake in no time. The wind had picked up a little bit, making the trees sway. Alex looked onto the crystal clear lake, and smiled as the wind ran off the water, and rushed past her. She loved nature, especially when it was as beautiful as this. She stepped towards the small cliff that dropped down into the water, and smiled. Alex picked up a small rock, and tossed it into the water nearby. The ripples quickly darted across the water, and Alex gasped as she could still see the rock falling through the water.
"It must be much deeper than it looks..." She thought to herself. Colt and Eevee were still behind her, playing fetch. Colt would throw a small brown ball, and the Eevee would dash off, and bring it back. Alex looked back at them, and thought "I hope my Pokemon is energetic like that."

A few hours later, Alex and Colt stood by the entrance to Twinleaf town. Alex adjusted her green jacket, and blue jeans. They were full of sand and dirt from the long day of playing. Colt cleared his throat, both of them felt pretty awkward, not sure what to do next. "Well..." Alex began. "I'll see you later then... right?"

"Sure. I'll come visit when I can." and with that, Colt turned, waved, and began his walk back to Sandgem, with Eevee trotting by his side. Alex watched until him go, until he walked around a raised ledge, and out of her sight. She sighed deeply and smiled to herself. It was a good day. A better day than most infact. It had been a long time since she had spent any time with someone close to her age. Colt was happy, fun, and good to be around. Alex began walking towards her house. Colt and Eevee are perfect for eachother..." she thought. "His sister must've chosen that Pokemon specially for him." She turned and looked up at the firey orange sky. She began to feel more excited than she had in the past. She just couldn't wait for that Pokemon to hatch! Alex was sure that she, and whatever came out of the egg, would be perfect for each other
