EDIT: Fixing some grammar and spelling errors, changing this chapter to prologue (to due it's shortness) and tinkered with the sentences.

Department Meeting

Today is the last day, I'll never see everyone in Hoenn, before leaving forever. I never want this but after all what happened, I had do.

"My memories... It was fun, while it lasted" I sighed, as I taking one last look back before entering the train station along with Tirami, my royal Mightyena.

After a long time, I was finally able to buy my ticket to the infamous city, Reborn, where all chaos reigns. Just hearing that, makes me flinch a little, but it was also very far away from Hoenn, so it would make things better for me at least. Maybe I could afford a small home and find a job somewhere, once I arrived.

"Between you and me." The man at the ticket booth said "I hear Reborn City's kind of a dump."

Well, my choices are between this or that bastard. My life would be much better, if it weren't for him.

"Well, I have an aunt in Reborn, who opened a small shop there and she needs my help. Besides, I have no relatives here", I lied to him, as he finished my ticket and gave me it.

"Ah, I see. Good luck there. You'll need that", he said, as I boarded the train.

Once, I was inside the train, I looked around for something suspicious, before sitting on an empty seat; ensuring myself everything was okay. Tirami went next to my left and lied down in a relaxed position.

"I guess we're moving now, Tirami. Once we arrive, we'll start a new life along with our comrades" I told, while leaning my head against the window, admiring view before going to the far strange world, that is awaiting for me now. From the window, I could see the desert with small mountains, which are very different from Hoenn, with his geophysical beauty of seas and landscapes. Tirami sat next to my left sleeping peacefully now. I didn't got any sleep, thanks to all that shit, I went through lately, but once I arrived at the region, I first thing I would do was to sleep for hours.

Suddenly I spotted an Absol standing on a cliff looking down at the train, before jumping away, "This can't a good sign." I though worriely, remembering it's Pokedex entry.

Every time Absol appears before people, it is followed by a disaster such as an earthquake or a tidal wave. As a result, it came to be known as the disaster Pokémon.

"Hello there. Sorry about the wait." A female voice called out to him making us turn to see a woman around her 20's with armpit length white hair and purple eyes. Her attire consists of a white crop with a black PokeBall emblem, purple leggings and a pair of black boots. Around her neck, there was a black scarf and a pair of two bracelets in one each wrists; a yellow and purple ones.

"Uhm, I don't mean to be rude but... Who are you actually?" I asked, as Tirami looked at her in distrust, disturbed from her sleep.

The woman laughed for a bit, "Sorry. My name is Ame and I'm the manager of the Reborn Region. It's nice to meet you." Ame introduced herself as she offered her hand.

I accepted it, as we shook hands, "I'm Lucia Ahahera and this is Tirami." I introduced myself and Tira, who seemed a bit relaxed now, seeing that Ame was friendly to me.

"Forgive me." Ame bent over to stare at Tirami's eyes after a bit she withdrawning on her old position. She looked a bit surprised.

"Wow, I don't I've ever seen a bond like your before. Can I ask, how long have you been together?" Ame asked.

"5 years." Ianswered.

"5 years, not bad. So, I assume that you aren't a beginner, are you?" Ame asked.

I shooked my head, as an answer" So how many regions have you travelled?" Ame asked.

"Only 1. Hoenn." I answered "Because later, I used to participlate in Pokemon Contests.

"Only 1? Hhm...So, what brings you to Reborn then?" Ame asked again.

My eyes widen a bit until I looked down as Iremembered, why I indented to go there, "I came here for a challenge, because I got your invitation here." I lied, as I hand out a small red paper, while trying to hide my fear with another lie again. But Ame wasn't convinced but saw the hurt look on my face and decided to change the subject, "Ah yes, you got our invitation 5 days ago, right? Reborn is the perfect region for challengers like you, Lucia." Ame replied.

"Yes. That's why" I said calmly.

"You see unlike other regions Reborn has 18 Gyms." The woman told me.

"18?!" My eyes widen in shock, as I heard this for the first time.

"Yep. One Gym leader for each type, and all of have a full team of six." Ame explained.

"All of them?" I asked shocked again, as she nodded. "Wow, that means more work, but I have a professional team with me. That will be easy cake for me." I laughed, petting Tirami's head, who growled happily. I have still my team from my old days back then, which made me a bit confident.

Ame seemed pleased with me, before her eyes spotted my Mega Ring "I haven't seen one of those in a while." Ame said while looking at my left wrist.

I looked down and saw what Ame was talking about and smiled, "It's my Mega Ring with a Swampertite for me and my Vanilly. Steve Stone gave this to me back when I was 13." I explained, as I rembered it was like yesterday.

"You met the Steve Stone. He is an old friend of mine back in my school days." Ame chimed, making me smile a bit.

"Well back to the Reborn topic, there was one time Reborn was completely abandoned by everyone, even by the Pokemon years ago."

Ame explained, as she drank a bottle of water.

"What happened?" Iasked a bit curious, wanting to learn more about this region.

"An incident happened years ago. And sadly, we only managed to get only a few things right. Since then, Reborn is struggling with all sorts" Ame answered, as she looked at the window with a sad look. "My father tried his best, but couldn't balanced it all by himself, so he entrusted me the charges." I felt very bad for her now, as she kinda worries for her father. Just like me.

"It's sounds like you have your hands full, but I can help if you want." I tried to lighten up the mood a bit. I pulled my sketch book from my bag, putting it on the table. "So how about some pics and storytelling to relax, till we arrive at Reborn? My drawings have some heal effects on sadness." I had this trait since I was 8- don't know exactly the reason behind it, but it often work on people, who are in a bad mood or simply bored. My mother told me, I should become an artist, once I retired from the Contests.

"I never knew, you could draw as well. Show me, what you made and I'll rate them." Ame said, as she took my sketchbook to look at my drawings, I made during my free time.

I guess, I have an aura, that can make people getting comfortable around me. And I need to calm down now.

He wouldn't go after me, because he doesn't know where I'm now!

Author's notes. Let me know what you think about it. I enjoy playing Pokemon Reborn, so i decided to make a story with my favourite protagonist, Lucia in. But this is will be more a twist, because it's an AU themed fanfic.

Let the Adventures begin!
