EDIT: This chapter has been edited slightly to match my current writing.
Thank you for all the people who supported my first fanfiction story. Reviews appreciated, just no flaming.
Sorry if the first two sentences annoyed you, but this keeps the ones who had read the original chapters informed that there were minor/major details being edited.

Target 4: Now Begins Another Journey!
"Um, what was the gigantic beam of light that helped us earlier?" Dawn asked.
"I think that was the sun…" Barry replied.
Barry and Dawn stared at each other, one thought in their minds. They then knelt down and gave their thanks to the sun "OH SUN, I THANK THEE."
Lucas face palmed. "It wasn't the sun, I think a Trainer had helped us."
"How can you prove it, then?" Barry asked.
"First of all, wild Pokemon only evolve up to its first evolution, where it evolves from its basic form. The rest of the evolution is up to a Trainer, who evolves it by leveling it up or by an evolution stone. Some Pokemon needed to be traded to different Trainers to evolve with or without making them hold special items for their evolution and some needed enough happiness to evolve, mostly all baby Pokemon." Lucas said, wearing glasses and pointing the end of the stick he's holding to a picture of a Pokemon's Evolution on a whiteboard that magically appeared out of nowhere.
"And second of all, the move 'Solar Beam' is only used by a Pokemon in either its first evolution or its final form, by learning it by level up or by TM. So overall, I think we are helped by a Trainer with a Grass-Type Pokemon in its final form."
Barry and Dawn just stared at Lucas with a super-confused look. "Wha-?"
"I'm just saying that the Pokemon that helped us by using 'Solar Beam' is not a wild Pokemon, but a Trainer's", Lucas summarized.
"Oooohhhhh~", Barry and Dawn said in unison, looking at each other.
"Let's just head back to the Professor's Lab. Sandgem Town's just nearby."
So the trio withdrew their Pokemon and followed Lucas on the way to Sandgem Town.
Sandgem Town's Pokemon Lab…
Professor Rowan, being the patient man he is, acts and reacts calmly to situations… well, save for this one…
Rowan jaw dropped. He grabbed his hair and started to pull it in rage, stomping his feet in anger.
"HIBARI, HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO YOUR OLD MAN? HOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW?" Rowan cried out loud, realizing that Hibari broke a window and his belongings aren't in his room anymore.
His assistants simply stared at him, and they all have the same thought running in their head 'It was your fault that he ran away.'
Lucas arrived with Dawn and Barry, their jaw now dropping. Everything was a mess, and worst of all, Dawn's parents were there. Mr. Platinum waved at his daughter, only earning a kick on the head from Johanna.
"P-Professor, w-what happened?" Johanna looked around at the now-messy lab.
Rowan face palmed "It was a courtesy of Hibari…"
"Hibari…?" Dawn looked puzzled.
"Your bodyguard." Mr. Platinum said "His name is Hibari Kyoya, or Kyoya Hibari, in what they claim in 'western order'."
"That bastard… WHO SENT OUT A FUCKING CROBAT TO BITE ME TO DEATH!" Lucas shouted in rage.
After that, there was momentary silence in the lab.
"Ahem!" Rowan cleared his throat to break the silence, "What happened to the three starters, Lucas?"
"Uhhhh…" Lucas began, "We… kind of used the starters for fighting off the angry Starly back at Verity Lakefront."
"This is what kind of happened…" Dawn then told the whole story to Rowan, and Rowan nodded in agreement.
"I see…" Rowan began, "Where did Barry learn such behavior?"
Everyone looked at Barry, who sheepishly laughed. "Uhmm… Internet?"
"Although the Trainer helped you with 70% of the Starly, I guess the Pokemon you had used seemed to like you."
Rowan was right. It looks like the three Starters found their Trainers. Mr. Platinum smiled, "So… I guess it's time…"
"It is…" Johanna said, "… the start of their Pokemon Journey…"
Rowan took another suitcase from the back table and opened it in front of the Trainers. Just how many suitcases does the guy have?
Inside the suitcase are some mysterious-looking watches and some sort of device that Barry and Dawn hasn't known of.
"The Poketch and the Pokedex?" Lucas murmured. Barry and Dawn are now confused about these gadgets and stuff.
"Let me explain, guys…" Lucas began but is cut off by Barry, "YOU'RE JUST MAKING IT SOUND TOO COMPLICATED!"
"Ahem!" Rowan interrupted, "Can you please pay attention to me right now?"
"So, children, this is the Poketch." Rowan took the strange watch out for demonstration "This watch can be of help in your Journeys. I have downloaded some apps here, and you can obtain plenty more at the course of your Journeys."
Rowan began distributing the watches: the blue one for Lucas, the pink one for Dawn, and the orange one for Barry. Dawn and Barry looked at their watches with a confused look, while Lucas just chuckled at the sight of his friends.
"Let's move on, shall we? This, on the other hand, is the Pokedex." Rowan took the strange devices and opened it, "This tool is extremely helpful in your Journeys. You could get to know a Pokemon very well and it can keep track of the ones you've captured or not. This tool provides a better understanding of the Pokemon World."
Again, he distributed the device by their respective colors: blue one for Lucas, pink one for Dawn, and orange for Barry.
"With the Starters aside, you can now begin your Journey." Rowan ended.
Now it's time for Dawn to say good-bye to her parents.
"B-But… how about my bodyguard?" Dawn asked Rowan. Rowan looked at Dawn for a brief moment before tossing a picture at her direction. Dawn's clumsiness made her drop the picture, and she picked it up afterwards.
A guy with raven-black hair is in the photo. He has a pearly-white skin and narrow cold-grey eyes. Unlike any other Trainer, he wore what appears to be a school uniform, consisting of a white shirt and dark blue vest with a blue tie. Instead of wearing blue pants, he wore black, and had black shoes. A black coat rested on his shoulders, and a red armband is on his left arm. A Grass-type Pokemon was beside him, and it looked like a reptile.
"That's your bodyguard with his Starter." Rowan stated "Since he refused to meet you, how about you look for him instead."
"E-Eh?" Dawn blinked, "Are you saying that I should look for this 'Hibari' guy or whatever his name is?"
"It's just easy." Rowan chuckled, "Since he looks more Japanese than the others."
"Others?" Dawn murmured.
"Nevermind. Lucas, show them the PokeMart and the Pokemon Center for me."
"WE ALREADY READ THE DUMB BOOK YOU GAVE US!" Barry yelled.
The Platinum Family laughed. The parents kissed their daughter good-bye and bid her good luck as she is going to be an independent girl.
"Oh, wait." Johanna reached for her purse and shoved her hand inside it. She then showed an old contest ribbon and gave it to Dawn, "This was my very first contest ribbon I won back at Hearthome City. Unlike Hoenn, our contest stage is only there. Be sure to learn from Hibari-kun and don't be afraid to practice with him, okay?"
Dawn kept her mother's ribbon in her pocket and nodded. She gave a smile, "Thanks for everything, Mom, Poppa."
Her parents smiled back.
Barry and Lucas already left the lab, and Dawn walked towards the exit and into a Journey of a lifetime. But her clumsiness took over, and she tripped.
"Dawn! Are you-" her father rushed to help her, but sadly, he tripped.
Johanna sighed. Good thing a little bit of humor stopped her from crying over Dawn. She accepted the fate that her daughter chose.
And someday, they will meet again.
Lucas has his Gokudera moment, huh? Also do not worry about the other Vongola Guardians, they will appear in later chapters. Forgive mefor OOCness, and spelling and grammar mistakes.
