Hi people who still read my story! I have decided that you are not all crazy, just me! Sorry I haven't updated in a while, but I had two major problems, one is something I would rather not discuss, while the other was writers block. I hate writers block soooo much. Anyway, this chapter will be far longer than any others I have written in so far. This chapter will compose my story through cherrygrove .I hope you enjoy, but I suck real bad at battle scenes, and will probably not do very many, training will be weird, and my Pokémon, the first three at least, will be powerful, and won't evolve for a looooooooong time. I REALLY NEED REVIEWS, on anything, even if you tell me what sucks about this story.

Blah blah: important

'Thoughts'

Dream sequence/flashback

Pokémon speech (only I can understand or so I think until later specified)

Disclaimer: I do not own digimon, Pokémon, or anything else I might use in the story.

It's official, I am surrounded by morons

As I walked the paths of beautiful route 29, I start to feel something I haven't felt in a long time, peace. Between the serenity of the trees and the gentle breeze that is constantly flowing it is no wonder I feel peaceful. I hear Pichu's light snoring on my head and wonder if I should wake him up. As I feel myself smile at his carefree nature, I close my eyes and try to remember the last time I felt this content. It was about a year ago, if I remember correctly, when my family was together again for the first time since Christmas.

Now the only reason I say this is peaceful is because, for the first time in six months, my favorite person in the world, with the exception of my Pokémon and mom, came home. My sister. My sister can cheer me up even on the worst days. She is also one of the few people who share my passion for Pokémon. She is also my favorite sibling, as I often fight with both my older and younger brother, and my dad is busy so I haven't seen him in a while.

My sister is awesome, wholeheartedly awesome. She has medium length brown hair and brown eyes, medium length for her is flowing down to her shoulders, she is, like me, kinda skinny, and is often quiet and reserved, unless you challenge someone she cares about. Her Pokémon, whom I took care of when she wasn't using some of them, are as followed: Bellossom, her starter, nidoqueen, venomoth, hitmontop, tauros, corsola, kingdra, pidgeot, delibird, ursaring, dodrio, rapidash, and dragonite.

My sister, of who is older than me by about 7 years, was, when I last heard from her, in someplace called littleroot town, as she has already beaten both the kanto and johto gym leaders, but refuses to take place in any tournaments. I have no idea where my dad and brothers are, as my dad said it would do my little brother some good to be around him and my older brother. They offered to take me with them, but I refused on the account that, I wouldn't get along with my brothers, I wanted to stay with mom for a bit, and I only had to wait two months to get my fist Pokémon, which at the time I had no idea would be Pichu.

At this time I probably should have had my eyes open while I was walking, but hey, I thought that I was alone on the root, I knew the path by heart, and Pichu would tell me if anything was wrong. That would have been the case, had Pichu been awake, and had I been alone. Normally I would have noticed I was being followed, as I have good hearing and an accurate sense of smell, but no, I had to start thinking about my sister. Oh well, at least I learned that A: I should never start to think unless Pichu is awake, and B: not to walk towards the hives of a few beedrill.

Now, most people perceive Beedrill to be aggressive Pokémon that have a temper. Oh no, that is most certainly not the case, they are just extremely territorial. And apparently I was in the dead center of their territory, surrounded by beedrill and kakuna. 'Oh fuck, I'm dead' I thought, gulping hard and starting to back away slowly. Three words describe what happens when I don't watch where I am going. Bad. Fucking. Idea.

As it happens, the combs that beedrill make their hives out of is extremely soft. Now I have the worst luck, and was screwed already, but if I thought the beedrill were pissed that I was on their territory, then only two words describe how they looked now: fucking pissed! Now while the normal, calm person would have stood still, using the logic that beedrills sight is based on movement thing would have done just that. But I was really, really scared, so I did the only thing any scared, hyperactive kid would do: I ran like hell.

As it turned out, I'm not as fast as I thought I was, and the beedrill caught up to me. As I fell to the ground in pain from the stingers, I picked Pichu off my head, and held him close to my chest, in a feeble ball; at least I could protect him from pain. 'this is all my fault' I thought in sorrow. However then the worst thing that could have happened to me happened. My grip on Pichu was broken and he went tumbling down the grass.

As I silently let out a prayer that they would ignore Pichu, I felt the stingers drive into my chest. I felt every bit of the poison from the stingers start to flow through my vains. The pain was excruciating. But nothing, and I mean nothing, hurt as much as when they finally realized that Pichu was there. As They started towards him, I started to yell at him to run, but he just stood there frozen in time. Then it happened, they drove the stingers into his small, yellow furred body. Time, apparently caught up to him, and he started to screech in pain.

At that moment, something inside of me snapped: this was my fault, so why was he getting punished. I howled something, and at the moment I am not sure what was going through me, but all the beedrill fell to the ground in pain, and their shadows were twisted in some weird way. I felt strength return to my limbs, as if I was being healed in some way.

They lay there, in pain as I look myself and Pichu over and gasp! Both our bodies were covered in some kind of dull silver light, brighter than grey, but not white either. As the light disappeared I picked Pichu up and ran, as fast as I could, to cherrygrove town.

I had absolutely no way of knowing it, but at the moment the "snap" occurred in me, in a completely different dimension, a girl, who could be no older than I am now, was sitting in a group of some sort, of about twelve kids. The girl was listening to some sort of report, when she felt a feeling of immense energy flow through her. It seemed to be familiar to her, and yet different. Her eyes widened as she realized what the mysterious strength felt like: the crest of light.

Now apparently, the others noticed something about her was… strange. Whether it was what she felt, or the fact that she was glowing white and pink, either would have been odd. A boy that looked to be a few years older than her decided to break the silence and ask the million dollar question.

"Are you ok Kari," he asked hesitantly, as if afraid of upsetting her.

"I….I don't know Tai, but we need to get answers," Kari said as she got up, and then noticed that there was something around her neck.

Turning away from the others present she pulled up what was on her neck and ….. gasped, then fainted as she saw what it was.

"KARI" Tai yelled frantically as he ran towards her and, when he saw what she had, he nearly fainted too. It was the crest of light.

Slowly, but before I got to cherrygrove, thankfully, the silver glow that had surrounded my body as well as Pichu's disappeared, but Pichu wouldn't stop staring at me with this weird shine in his eyes, and I heard him muttering something about a "chosen one". But I let him continue muttering about whatever he was talking about.

When I finally got into cherrygrove, the first thing I did was head to the pokemart. Or at least I tried to, but, as I feared, Lyra had caught up to me, and did what I feared even more. She told people how I met and saved Pichu. A little bit of advice if you ever visit cherrygrove, avoid all girls. I'm serious they are crazy, and very shallow. When anyone even remotely famous is around, even if they only have one badge, they get swarmed by these girls.

I did the only thing any sane fourteen year-old should do in this situation, I ran into the safest place I could think of: the Pokémon center, as nurse joy is nice, and will hopefully hide me. Fortunately for me, the girls were slow and I was right, the nurse allowed me to hide, and now I have a room in the Pokémon center for the night. The room h ad three beds for some reason, and only one bathroom. 'Oh joy' I thought annoyed, 'only one bathroom.'

Having nothing else to do, as I had no hope of getting to the pokemart today with those "girls" prowling around, I ate dinner in the cafeteria of the Pokémon center. It was nothing special; in fact it was the kind of stuff you find in the school cafeteria on meat loaf surprise day. Some chunky grey stuff, gravy, and milk. Being that I don't believe Pokémon should have to eat any differently than we humans do, Pichu got to eat the same stuff. Being that it tasted as good as it looked, Pichu said some particularly nasty things that he would do to the kitchen later tonight. I told him it was okay so long as he didn't get caught, as there were several other electric Pokémon here, so long as no one saw him, he would get off easy, I wouldn't punish him for something I would do myself.

On that happy note, I decided to check if I had any mail, email or regular. As it turns out I had no email, but I did get something from my mom: my Pokenav. In case you didn't already know a pokenav serves as a cell phone, map, and other things, but I only had the ability to use it as an mp3, cell phone, and map. Also I learned that I should never say no to Prof. Oak, because I also received a black and silver pokedex, with metallic light blue grips. I figured I might as well get a shower and go to sleep. One slight problem with that: there were now two other people in my room, and at the moment, I was extremely annoyed with one of them.

Apparently nurse joy, though nice, is either extremely perverted, or extremely naïve, because she paired me with the two most hyper, overactive, overrated people I could ever be paired with: Lyra and Dawn Berlitz. I didn't even get my choice of bed, not that it mattered to me, but I was stuck on the bed that lay farthest from the bathroom, had no dresser, and was right next to the window. Perfect. Just fucking perfect.

Now, not only was I almost half a day behind the schedule I wanted to get to goldenrod on time, but I also wouldn't get any sleep tonight as the girls insisted that the light be kept on because there was a guy in the same room with them. Big fucking deal, as I had shown no interest in either of them. Mind you, they were both pretty, but I would never, repeat never date a coordinator. I hoped I would not have any nightmares tonight, as I am already enough of a freak, and I don't want either of those two to be awake when I leave tomorrow.

I quickly told them I was getting a shower, and then got a clean pair of boxers and my sweatpants out of my pack, and went into the bathroom, locked it, and turned on the hot water. Five minutes later I got out, and left the bathroom, drying my body as best I could before I went to bed. Apparently the girls expected me to take longer, because when I came into the room, they stopped talking and just stared at me, their mouths slightly agape.

"What" I asked with a frown, walking towards my bed where Pichu was pretending to sleep.

Lyra broke the silence that followed ten minutes later, "um do you workout?" she asked with a blush.

It was at that moment that I realized why they were staring at me and I looked down to see my ab muscles were forming, and that I was tense from the events of today. I also saw a reminder of my incident with the amphoros, a scar in the shape of its' tail. I realized they were still looking at me, and I blushed, but said "Not really, end of discussion, I'm going to bed, so goodnight."

Normally that would've ended the conversation, but Dawn decided to put her two cents in, "where did you get the scar?" she asked, but then remembered her manners and muttered an "I'm sorry"

"I was on the wrong end of an amphoroses iron tail." I said with a sigh, "now I am not answering any more questions, and I am going to bed."

I then laid down in my bed, and turned to face the window, so I would not be facing either of the two girls. Now that the events of the day were coming to a close, I had time to think about my nightmares. Big mistake. The second my thoughts turned to there, I could feel what little sense of peace that was in me vanish.

The dream I had after I rescued Pichu was the first time I had been able to move in the dream. The only other one I'd had like that, I was in complete agony, and was about to die, when I woke up. I hoped I wouldn't have a dream like this again. I saw, out of the corner of my eye, Pichu heading downstairs, and I chuckled silently. I didn't know what he was gonna do, but I was sure it would be funny in the morning. I muttered a goodnight to him, put headphones in my pokenav, so that when the alarm went off, I would be the only one awake, checked the time, 10:30 pm, and let sleeps embrace take me.

"Where am I?" I thought aloud. Then it hit me, I was in the same cold, dark cavern I have been in the past few nights. This time, however, I was completely alone, no Pichu, no voices, no monsters. I felt all my fears, even the ones I only could realize subconsciously return to me in full force. Part of me realized that I could move freely. The other part of me was scared, but curious. I started to move, curiosity getting the better of me, and then everything abruptly changed.

I was now in a cavern filled with glowing crystals. It was beautiful; the colors seemed to meld together in every possible way. Then I saw a huge crystal in the center of the cavern, it was amazing. It seemed to be every color, and some words in some weird language were carved into the center of it.

After realizing that I had neglected to notice my surroundings, I looked around. To my left there were four weird creatures: a dragon, a phoenix, what appeared to be a tiger, and a two headed tortoise. To my right were the three lake Pokémon of sinnoh, shaymin, and celebi. Directly in back of me, there was a wall that had some weird inscriptions in it, only this time it had pictures of something.

I peered closer to get a better view of the symbols on the wall. As I turned back to the big, central crystal, I heard shouts, and they sounded vaguely familiar. I started to hear an annoying ringing noise in my ears. I then realized it was my alarm, and the images started fading.

'Damn' I thought, 'first dream that I don't have nightmare and I have to wake up before it's over'. I then proceeded to look at the time. 4:00 am. Good my alarm worked. I turned to see if the two girls had woken up yet. When I turned I found them asleep in a really awkward position. Dawn was lying on top Lyra. 'Oh this is awesome' I thought deviously 'this will be good for blackmail.' So I took out the digital camera my mom had given me in case I wanted to take a picture of something memorable on my journey, well this was memorable.

With a chuckle, I looked over to see Pichu asleep on my pillow. With a sigh I decided to get dressed. Same old black shirt and blue jeans on me, I woke Pichu up. He started to chastise me about waking him up, but I cut him off and told him that he couldn't use my head as his ride if he didn't be quiet, after all the girls didn't need me to wake them up. He looked deep in thought for a minute, then decided he wanted his "ride".

'I wonder if I should tell him about my dream' I thought while walking to the main desk to sign out, 'nah, he will probably just stare at me like he did yesterday.' "Nurse Joy," I stated with a frown, and she jumped, "you ok?"

"Oh, you just scared me, not many people are up this early," she said with a smile, then frowned and asked "what are you doing up this early anyway?"

"Just signing out, getting supplies, and going to Violet city," I said, stifling the urge to yawn, I added, "now what are you doing up right now?"

"Well," she said frowning again "a pokemon seems to have attacked the oven, and now it won't work anymore." Hearing this, I had to bite my tongue to stop laughter from coming out, but on the inside, I was laughing as hard as I could.

"I see, well bye." I said, not even waiting for her reply as I left and the second I was outside I laughed, and Pichu was smiling. "Now, I won't tell anyone what happened if you don't, kay buddy?" I asked, smiling. Pichu nodded.

After we made our agreement, I walked into the pokemart, intent on getting my supplies, some quick breakfast for myself, Pichu, and the other two pokemon I have, and leaving town, just as the sun was rising. Well my plan worked, amazingly, and I was out of town before the sun even rose. Checking my watch, I smiled and did a little dance on the inside, it was only 4:45, with any luck, the girls won't even wake up till 7:00.

Once I was about a mile away from town, it was now 5:00, I called out my two other pokemon. I was surprised by what I saw, an Eevee and a Chikorita. They both looked around, expecting to battle I think, and then turned and looked at me quizzically. I smiled and handed them both a few candy bars, and said "It may not be the best breakfast, but it is breakfast none the less so eat up." I then proceeded to split the remaining few candy bars between myself and Pichu.

After finishing up, I noticed that something was watching me. I turned around quickly and saw a caterpie staring at me with wide eyes. I then proceeded to ask what was wrong. To my surprise, I could understand it, which is weird because, up till now, I've only been able to understand Pokémon that were my friends.

"Please human, please help me. My mother is dead and I am hungry and scared and alone and….and…. wahh." The caterpie, which turned out to be a girl judging from her voice pleaded to me. Once again my compassion for Pokémon is getting the better of me and I pull out another few candy bars from my bag and give it to her while trying to comfort her.

About 30 minutes later she stopped crying and started talking to me, telling me her story. Apparently she has been alone for quite some time, a few months I would guess and she hasn't been able to train herself to fight or find food for that matter. Her parents, I found out, had been captured by humans and she had been left to fend for herself, finding this out did not help my dislike for my own race, and she has been running from some spinerak for a while now.

As sorry as I felt for her, I needed to know why the spinerak were trying to attack her. Upon asking this, she replied that she didn't know. This left me with a choice :help her or leave her to fend on her own. Well, given my compassion towards anything not human, I asked her if she wanted to join Pichu, my other pokemon, and me on our journey. She didn't speak for a long time. Then she tackled me and started shrieking yes.

I smiled, and turned to look at my other pokemon to judge their reactions to their new teammate. All and all the reaction was calm. Pichu was smiling and talking to caterpie, Eevee, and Chikorita, and kept pointing at me, though I couldn't hear what they were saying. I looked at the time and frowned: 6:45, not good if I wanted to get anything done today.

"Right" I said, rubbing my hands together to keep them warm, "time to get training."

Pichu cocked his head and asked "Training?"

"Yes Pichu, we are training, as we will be taking the gym challenge like my sister has done before me, and even if we weren't, we would still be training, in case of something like the bullies or the beedrill incident happen again." I said, in a stern tone. Pichu laughed nervously, Eevee seemed indifferent, chikorita was talking non-stop, and Caterpie was looking at me with bright eyes.

"Alright heres how it's gonna work, Pichu you will be training with both Eevee and Chikorita, while I see what Caterpie can do, so in about an hour we will be heading off, as I don't like training anymore than you do." I said cheerfully.

Caterpie, like she said, didn't know how to fight at all. She knew how to use the attacks, but she was neither accurate nor powerful, at least in the beginning. About halfway through she was decently fast, and had a great aim, but she was way off in terms of power. By the end of the training session, I was covered in the string shot silk, and Pichu, Eevee, and Chikorita were all tired. The only one of us that was in any sort of good shape was Caterpie, but then I really didn't work her to hard. Looking down at my watch as I returned, and in caterpies case captured, all my pokemon with the exception of Pichu, I realized we had spent an hour and 15 minutes training, but then again the cost was well worth the results.

Or at least they were, until I realized why I had gotten up so early today. I realized this when I saw to very pissed off girls jogging towards me, and I realized that, by training, I had screwed myself. I tried to run, but my legs failed me, and I heard Pichu's laughter as he realized I was dead. Gulping I knew I had to make a stand, because there was no way in hell I was going to be able to outrun them.

"Hi girls" I called weakly while I muttered at Pichu to be quiet. He only laughed louder as the girls were finally here, glaring at me. "Why did you leave?" Lyra asked while trying not to yell at me. 'perfect' I thought while sighing inwardly 'now I get to explain myself to the perfect twins over here'. "First I don't get to eat breakfast and now I have to deal with you, great." Dawn said angrily. I was about to reply when an idea popped into my head. 'awesome' I thought deviously ' I can get Pichu back and save myself from their nag fest'.

"Well, Pichu is the reason you didn't get breakfast, and I will let you travel with me, if you stop nagging me." I said while smiling, Pichu looked horrified as the glares of the girls turned to him, Dawn looked like she was going to chew me out over the nag comment, until I brought up a picture on my phone. Oh how I love blackmail. They both blushed at the thought of having the picture on the internet, and looked pissed that I would use blackmail, but agreed to my proposal.

"Oh and please promise me that you won't talk about clothes and contests every five minutes." I said in an exasperated tone.

Not five minutes later they started talking about clothes, and Pichu was in on the conversation. 'Great' I thought with a groan, 'I am surrounded by morons.'

Me: woot finally I finished this chapter.

Kari: About time too, you've been working on this for like two weeks.

Me: WTF! How did you get in here, you're supposed to be in another dimension and hi.

Kari: *shrugs* you say hello after all that? Better late than never I suppose, and I am here because you introduced me. I am also here to help you.

Me: wait if you're here because I introduced you then …. Oh no.

Kari: what?

Me: I introduced Dawn and Lyra, anyway ill deal with that when the time comes so what are you here to help me with?

Kari: Anything.

Me: Why? I am not connected to you in any way…. Yet.

Kari: you used the-

Me: No! it must not be revealed yet.

Kari:…..O-Kay,

Me: Right well, I am gonna say this before the two psycho coordinators get in here, Review or I might die at their hands.

Kari: I'm just gonna leave now.

Lyra and Dawn: Were here (using creepy monotones)

Me: ahhh back foul temptresses, help or I will die!

Kari: Anyway review, or the author shall not live. Oh and contrary to what he says, he will not be putting this story on hold.

Me: thanks *ducks as a chair as thrown at me* Kari. HEY DO NOT RECK THE FURNITURE!
