The last few chapters have lacked as much detail as my first one. I will try to fix that in this chapter. Try. Oh, and somehow I am turning this into a bit of an elemental story. I'm expanding on my original plot. Haha. Anyway, it won't be one where people can turn into elemental wizards, if you don't mind me calling them that. Don't worry, it will be explained within these next two chapters. And yes, my plot is beginning to come out. And the bad guy will be appearing soon. Again, within the next two chapters hopefully.


I trailed behind my two sisters, keeping an eye on the growth. The trees rose tall above my head, the smallest bush up to my knee. Pichu sat on my shoulder, her ears twitching and alert to any sounds.

Suddenly, a noise caught Pichu's ears. She turned her head so rapidly she almost fell. I stopped and turned as well, but by now Pichu was off.

"Where are you going?" I called.

"Follow me!"

"Mira!" I head my name called as I charged into the bushes behind it, but I ignored my sisters. It wasn't long before I caught up to Pichu, who was hidden in some bushes. I looked around. A few feet away was a clearing. Inside the clearing, a young girl, maybe even younger then I was, stood with a squirtle. She seemed to be caressing it. I saw no poke balls on her belt. Was it a wild pokemon?

"I'm not going to hurt you. I promise." The squirtle came closer slowly. "Do you want to be my friend?" The squirtle came even closer, so it was almost touching her outstretched hand.

"What is she doing?" Pichu didn't respond. She was watching them intently. Now, the squirtle was running around the little girl, whose lips were stretched in a wide grin. It seemed happy and content. Without warning, the girl looked up, toward our hiding spot.

"I know you are there. You can come out." I shared a glance with Pichu. She seemed surprised, but obeyed. I followed behind.

"How did you know we were there?" I asked.

"I heard you yelling a minute ago." She replied, turning to glance at Squirtle before back at me. She had brilliant navy blue eyes that reminded me of the ocean. "You're wondering why Squirtle here warmed up to me so quick." I nodded. "I can befriend water types without the use of poke balls or battling." I tried not to show my alarm.

"That sounds like your ability!" Pichu didn't have to point that out. I had realized it myself.

"I know its weird. Your actually the first person I've told about it." She looked at her hands.

"Why choose me?" I asked.

"I can tell you're special. You have a weird ability too, don't you?" This time, I couldn't hold it back. My eyes widened.

"H-how could you tell?" I stammered. She shrugged.

"the way you look at your Pichu. I can tell you understand it better then a normal trainer would." I gave a small smile. Pichu grinned.

"Ha-ha, this girl is smart." She teased.

"What is your ability?" The girl asked, watching Pichu with curiosity.

"I can speak to pokemon." I replied. "You are the first person I've told as well." I added with a smile. She gave a little giggle.

"That is a cool ability." She smiled. "I wonder if anybody else has abilities like we do." Truth was, I had never thought of it. I was surprised enough to find this girl. Were there others like us, who had special bonds with pokemon we couldn't explain? Did they live in secrecy?

"My name is Mira, by the way. I come from Hitori Town." I decided now would be a good time to introduce myself.

"I'm Iana. My mother is the gym leader here in Mist Town."

"Really?"

"Yeah. Are you challenging the gym leaders?"

"No, but my adopted sister, Cassy is. I'm more into contests myself." I replied.

"Me too. I've been asking to start my journey for some time, but my mom says I have to have a traveling partner." She sighed. "I've always loved the way water type moves look. They would be great for contests."

"Mira? Where did you go?" It had taken them this long to come find me? How far had we gone?

"Is that your sister?" Iana asked. I gave a nod.

"Actually, that's Robin, my twin and biological sister."

"And the better healer."

"What are you talking about?"

"Oh. Uh, nothing. Nothing at all." I looked at Pichu, confused.

"Tell me." I said out loud.

"I didn't say anything." Iana pointed out, surprised.

"Oh, not you. Pichu said something and won't tell me what she was talking about." Iana laughed.

"Happen a lot?"

"Ever more frequently." I said, directing a glare at Pichu, whose ears were perked.

"Better stop there. Cassy and Robin are close by." With a twitch of her ears, Pichu scampered up my back and rested on my shoulder. Iana stood up, the squirtle pausing from its excited dashing as my two sisters appeared in the bushes. I stifled a laugh. Cassy's long, dark brown hair was covered with leaves and twigs.

"Fight with a tree?" I teased. Cassy shot me an angry glare.

"Why did you go running off like that?" Robin asked, attempting to free some of the tangled growth from Cassy's hair.

"Pichu went running. I had to go catch her." I replied.

"Hey! Don't blame it on me!"

"I will."

"Oh. Who is this?" Cassy noticed for the first time the young girl standing behind me, the squirtle now in her arms.

"Will Squirtle talk to me?" Pichu twitched her ear and mumbled something I didn't catch. Squirtle perked up.

"I'm Iana, Heather's daughter." Iana replied, extending a hand.

"Heather? Isn't that mist town's gym leader?" Robin asked, pulling the last of the leaves off. Iana nodded.

"Is she ready for a battle? I'm as ready as I'll ever be." Cassy exclaimed. Iana giggled.

"I'm sure she is. It has been pretty slow lately." She replied.


So, it started out pretty good, went to my grandparents for a day, went bowling, came back and pretty much stopped the good detail. Oh well. This chapter was a bit better though. And if you haven't realized, I have yet to decide an actual age for Iana. She is somewhere between 8 and 10, but not sure totally. And your in for a huge surprise next chapter. Well, maybe two, but the second one isn't too hard to guess if you paid attention to this chapter. Anyway, read and review please! I want to know what everyone reading this thinks! Oh, and funny thing happened when I wrote lately on that last dialogue. Somehow, I typed it with the t and y switched. It was weird. And the computer got mad at me. And, this one is longer! Yay!
