The Story of Amy Ketchum

A/N: Hey everyone! Got you the next chapter here! Please don't forget to like, follow, favorite, and review (especially review) because it lets me know what you think. As you may have noticed, the story is now rated T, but that's just due to my paranoia as there will be some "violent" scenes, but that might not be for a while. In case you didn't know this fic is based off the anime, but the Adventures Manga is a big inspiration for me so the battles will get more intense. Just a warning. Anyway, to the actual story and not the author rambling on sorta related topics!


Once I regained my senses I found myself sitting on one of the benches in the waiting area. I was still shaken from my little anxiety attack from before so it took me a bit to remember my situation. I tried to remain as calm as I could as I walked over to the healing center. Courage was in the back, still sleeping hooked up to several machines. I had no idea how that other me had managed to hook him up but all that I cared about was that Courage was alive. My demeanor broke and a started to cry, well I tried to weep silently. The noise must've woken up Courage because he shook his feathery head and then nuzzled it into my shoulder.

"It's OK Miss Amy. Thanks to you I'm alright. Now I owe you my life on two occasions."

It hurt me knowing I was lying to Courage, that it wasn't really me he owed his life to. But at the same time I couldn't tell him. Not only did the other me tell me not to, I didn't want anyone else to know.

"Miss Amy, if you don't mind me asking, why are the lights still off?"

"I didn't want to wake you too soon." I lied. Every time I lied it felt like a kick in the stomach, but I so desperately wanted to show everyone that I meant something, that I wasn't just the Viridian Gym leader's daughter. I still wasn't sure if I was doing the right thing. It wasn't only that either, I didn't want to let everyone down.

I whipped my tears and held out my arms. "Come on Courage, let's go tell everwyone we'wre OK."

Courage hopped into my arms and we both headed towards the front desk. Walking through the labyrinth like halls made me realize how much, and yet how little damage was done. Somehow Courage and I woke up very soon after the two Team Rocket Members broke in. Any Pokemon that would've been stolen where dropped either while the two fled or during the battle. Or is it battles? The back where all the medical equipment was untouched. I figured that the only reason they cut the power was for stealth reasons, they didn't even anticipate a trainer staying in the center. That must've meant they were low rank and they were only given a mission to steal under the cover of night, they didn't think about the "what ifs". I know I sounded way too smart to be only 3 but my Dad was the Leader of the Viridian Gym, and one of my best friends was his right hand man and expert strategist.

Once we finally reached the front desk we looked for the switch to undo the lock down. Courage found it and pecked it. The metal covers that covered the glass windows and doors all retreated to the ceiling letting the light of dawn shine through. When I turned to the doors I saw exactly what I expected. By some miracle Nurse Joy and snuck out during the confusion and found Officer Jenny. She had barricaded the area and had Arcanine guarding the perimeter. They had no idea what happened inside other than what Nurse Joy had managed to tell them. I couldn't hear what they were saying clearly but I would tell Nurse Joy was yelling at Officer Jenny out of panic, most likely because she didn't know if I was OK. I was my Mom and Dad who had probably rushed here all the way from Pallet Town. They looked exactly like I thought they would, Mom crying into Dad's shoulder and Dad attempting to comfort her but with no luck. A lot of the town had been woken up by the commotion even a few of the people who trained in the gym had shown up. Warren was the most noticeable. While the others were huddled in a group muttering about something Warren was sitting on the curb with his back facing the Pokemon Center. I could imagine what he looked like. He had his thinking face on, trying to figure out what was going on, what the Rocket Grunts were after, what their plan was. He did the same thing while watching my Dad battle challengers, but this time I wasn't there to listen to his insight.

No one had noticed that the lockdown on the center had been lifted, everyone was occupied already. Courage and I looked at each other and gave a nod before I opened the door. I can't remember which but it was either Warren or my Dad that noticed first. Then my Mom, Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy. After that the other gym trainers, and the random towns folk. Officer Jenny tried to approach me first but my Mom got to me sooner.

"Amy! Oh my goodness. Thank Arceus you're all right. You are all right aren't you? What happened, did either of you get hurt? Did it scare you, do you need a hug?" The questions went on and on, the way a worried mother does.

I set Courage down next to me to I could hug my Mom. "I'm fine Mom." I tried not to show I was lying the best way to hide it to me then was to go into boasting mode. "Thewe were these two evil guys. Well, one was a guy, the other was a giwl. They wanted to steal all the Pokemon fwom the Pokemon Center. So Courage and I stopped them!

"Well that's good. You didn't get hurt did you Amy?" My mom interrogated.

"I didn't get huwt." I lied, I got hurt, but just emotionally. "Courage got a bit huwt, but I was able to patch him up. I hope you don't mind I used some of your stuff Nuwse Joy."

Nurse Joy was still a bit shaken but she managed to shake it off momentarily. "No, I don't mind at all." She choked.

"Well," Officer Jenny said as she approached, "it looks like you're a hero Amy. You saved a lot of Pokemon tonight, and possibly the life of Nurse Joy here too."

I knew that his was all a lie, but I couldn't help but smile. Especially when I saw the looks on my parents' faces.

"You know, I'm glad I got to save some people, but I'm kinda tiwed to if I could go back to sleep."

Everyone laughed at my very poor pun. They were probably just humoring me but at the time I didn't care, as long as I could to back to sleep.

"Sure thing. I'll swing by to see you in the morning." Replied Officer Jenny.

"I guess that means it's time for everyone to get at least a little sleep. Come on Amy, let's head back inside." Nurse Joy grabbed my hand and led me inside.

Right before I got in my mom turned around to give me one last hug. "If this adventuring gets to be too much feel free to come home OK."

"OK Mom, I'll see you soon." I said hugging back. "And you too Dad. Good night everyone one!" I said to the remains of the crowd before disappearing back into the building.


A/N: OK, I think I'll end it there for today. Hope this makes up for the super short chapter before. Don't for get to follow, fave, review and that stuff. It helps motivate me to keep writing, and these huge gaps between chapters should get less frequent. Also, from now until chapter 15 I'll be taking questions that I can answer down here at the end of the story. It's kind of a "thanks for reading with me for so long" celebration/eventish thing. So if you have a question you and PM me it, or if you don't have an account you can ask it a review! OK, I'm really tired now, so until I write again, see ya later!
