Chapter 1: The Life of a Lonely Maiden

As Day slowly turned to night near the Battle Tower, the line of trainers that had slowly formed outside the tower to challenge the maiden began to disperse, gutted not being able to go against the Maiden but understanding that the challenge wouldn't be that much of a challenge if all her Pokemon where exhausted when battling them. The Maiden herself, was a very petite lass, she had short violet like hair with large violet oval-ish eyes, her white like coat seemed to be that of what you would see on a normal school boy, but had a certain difference to what a girl would normally wear as sometimes she had been known for being likened to a boy and not a girl.

The Ability Symbol laid deep inside her pocket, once again she was unable to find a worthy challenger in order to give it to after winning all the matches she had been in today. As she exited the Battle Tower towards her lone house nestled inside the forest, she watched as her Referee chosen by Scott the Owner of The Battle Frontier closed up the large structure of the Battle Tower and walk off into town, leaving her now totally alone with her Pokemon, the Forest and the Pokemon that Inhabited the Forest.

Anabel had always been known to the people of the nearby town the Lonely Maiden. She had once been quite happy and a wonderful friendly person, but with the Battle Frontier becoming increasingly popular she became secluded due to the popularity she had gained, it had become un safe for her to travel long distances as well as her duty calling of being a Frontier Brain. Yet she originally did not want what she had been given.

What People didn't realize was that Anabel herself did not wish to be a Frontier Brain, and in fact had been forced to go to a sort of test made by the Head of The Battle Frontier, where she had to go against other Trainers in a series of challenges to become The Tower Maiden that she is today...

Far off in the Distance sounds of Cheers could be heard of the "Kids Day" Festival that swept Kanto this time of year. It was a day known only to the people of Kanto, where Kids would be allowed time off School, in order to do what Kid's did best... Play...

Anabel could only think back to the "Kids day" that she could remember before becoming The Frontier Maiden. Her own special Memories when people saw her for who she was and not the title that was before her name. Softly smiling to herself she tried to remember memories gone by of her former life before The Title of "Maiden" was given to her.

The Sun was quick to rise in the sleeping city; the Children had quickly escaped from their parents to find themselves in the town square awaiting the official information that today was the start of "Kid's Day." Inside the large group of Children, a small Girl which appeared to be that of a young boy, waited frantically for the day to start, suddenly she was tossed from side to side from the mass's of children that had gathered giving a faint scream.

She was dragged out of the large crowd by a small boy with short blonde hair, he seemed to smile happy that he was able to help her out even though not knowing who she was,

"What Your Name?" he asked with a large growing grin on his face "I'm..."

The Tower Maiden was brought out of her thoughts thanks to the large group of Pidgey's that had flown out of the treetops beside her, she got up. As The Tower's Maiden began to walk further away from the screams of the happy children, the silence of the forest and gently calmness of the river she walked beside kept her mind at ease. As she began to walk into the clearing, a large wooden structure appeared nestled next to that river that flowed beside the Battle Tower and the City itself.

This was her home, The Frontiers Head, Scott had paid for the location as well as the structure itself, as for some reason he proclaimed that 'This was the perfect place for a person who understands Pokémon to live.' Yet still The Maiden has been unable to find an answer to what he once proclaimed, or a reasonable one at that.

"I'm Home!" she shouted entering the empty building which she called her home, not expecting an answer. The house was too big for a single person, if anything the house seemed to of been made for a large family, the multiple rooms and large living quarters it had could not of been full if an entire king's court had arrived asking to stay the night. She slowly ascended to her room realising her Pokémon to allow them to go wherever they wanted, entering her room she silently closed the door lying in her bed not changing what so ever, silently going to sleep.

This was the life that she never wanted, The Lonely Life of The Battle Maiden. The life which was pressured through a families greed for power, and a separation from long lost friends, all she wanted was to be known for who she was and not the title that came before her name, she longed for that Time before when she could enjoy the "Kid's Day" Festival without worrying about tomorrows challenges and just being who she wanted to be... herself.

Yet, little did she know that would all change sooner than she ever thought it would, tomorrow was her once a week day off, and on that day her life will change for the best, Forever...
