Here we're going to go 5 years back in time....

.....To see what it was like before Solana joined the union....

We are now going to turn back the pendulum 5 years.....

......And lets see what it was like back then...

Here we are in the Hoenn region in LaRousse City. We see a school building where the students are playing outside for recess. We see a group of kids gathered around watching something. The group of kids are watching a boy getting beat up by 5 feet 4 inches girl with blue hair and crimson eyes.

" Gah! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I promise I won't take Molly's lunch money anymore! " cried the kid as he was being beaten. " Good! And if you ever bother her again..I'm gonna beat you with a pipe next time!" threatened the girl as she let him go. The kids watching then cheers as they see the girl win her fight.

" Boy, thanks for defending me." said Molly, a girl with long blond hair. " You're welcome, Molly. That kid had it coming to him." said the girl. " Hehe. You're the best, Solana. You're like the strongest person in school." " I know. I don't like to fight, but I only do it for my friends." said Solana. " Oh, well anyway, thanks again! You're the best!" said Molly as she left to go play with her other friends.

Later on that day, the school bell rings and its time for the students to leave. We see young Solana walking along the street to go home. " -sigh- I'm so bored here without a Pokemon of my own. Everyone at school has one, except me..That really sucks.." groaned Solana. " My birthday's tomorrow. I'd be lucky if my parents gave me a Pokemon for my birthday. Yeah right. Like that'd happen."

A few moments later, we still see Solana walking until she sees a scared boy standing on the sidewalk, shivering in fear. " Hm? Who's that kid?" wondered Solana as she went over to him.

"Hey, kid. What's wrong?" asked Solana. " H-Huh? O-Oh..I-I can't find m-my girlfriend...I-I turned around for a second and then she was gone.." said the boy on the verge of tears. The boy had messy dark blue hair, zits all over his face, and a pair of glasses. " Relax. Relax. Don't worry we'll find her. Now, what does she look like?" asked Solana. " We-Well...She has hazel eyes and blue hair like yours but a little darker and um..she's really short." described the boy. " Hm..I see. Now can you describe her interests? Maybe she ran off to some store or something." said Solana. " Well....She absolutely loves Pokemon plushies." said the boy. " Hm...I think I know where she might be." said Solana.

The two then run off to a store to find the boy's girlfriend. A few moments later the two stop in front of a big store with the name: ' Plushies R' Us'

" I think she might be in here." said Solana. " Hm..This could be possible.." said the boy. The two then enter the store to look around for the girl.

" Hm...Hazel eyes, blue hair, short...Hm..What's her name?" asked Solana. " Her name's Daisy." said the boy. " Hm..Ok. I'll look for Daisy on this side of the store...You look over that side. We'll meet up back at the front if we find her or not." said Solana. " Ok. Then." The two then went their opposite ways.

Solana searches her side to try and find a girl who'd look like Daisy. " Hm..Daisy! Oh, Daisy! Where are you?!" called Solana.

Just then Solana hears the sound of a girl laughing as she's jumping into a pile of plushies. She turns to see the girl and sees that this girl fits the description of Daisy. " Uhm..Excuse me. Are you by any chance Daisy?" asked Solana. " Hm? Yes! My name's Daisy! Well my real name's Margret! But I HATE that name! So my parents call me Daisy!" Daisy said. " Uh..ok..Well, your boyfriend's looking for you." said Solana. " Oh man! I totally forgot about him! Take me to him!" said Daisy, grabbing onto Solana's arm. " Ok. Ok." said Solana as she guided Daisy to the front of the store.

Later when the two get to the front, they see the boy standing there looking sad. " Hey, kid! I found her!" said Solana, showing Daisy to him. " Daisy! I've found you!" said the boy as he ran up to hug Daisy. " Never leave me like that again! You had me worried!" cried the boy. " Relax, Nicholas. Everything's ok." said Daisy. " Thanks again for finding her. Oh! I forgot to tell you my name. Sorry. My name's Nicholas. " said Nicholas. " My name's Solana. It's nice to meet you." said Solana. " Thanks for helping me. We have to go now. Bye!" said Nicholas as he and Daisy left.

After that short adventure, Solana finally goes home. The next day, it's Solana's birthday.

Solana is fast asleep, that is..until her mother wakes her up. " Solana! Time to wake up! It's your birthday!" cheered Leslie. " Ngh..Mom...Let me sleep..." groaned Solana. " Come on, Solana! Wake up! It's not everyday that you turn 13!" said Leslie as she dragged Solana out of her bed. " Gah! Mom!" cried Solana. " Now, Solana..Let's not be unreasonable. Now! Your father and I have a very special gift for you down stairs." " Ugh..Fine.."

The two then go downstairs to retrieve Solana's gift. " Happy birthday, Solly." said Gabriel, hugging his daughter. " Dad! I've asked you many times to stop calling me that! That name stinks!" cried Solana. " I know. I just love teasing you." laughed Gabriel. " Ugh...Now. Where's my present?" asked Solana. " Well, Solana. I know you've been bugging us like hell for a Pokemon. And we always said, when you're older. Well...We think you're old enough. Solana, here's your very first Pokemon." said Leslie as she gave Solana a pokeball. " Oh boy! I wonder what's inside!" said Solana as she opened the pokeball.

Out of the pokeball came a baby Plusle. " Plah?" said the Plusle as she wondered where she was. " .....What's this?" asked Solana a little disappointed. " It's a Plusle, Solana! Don't you like it?" asked Leslie. " Uh...Yeah..It's...cute..I was expecting a Minun...but..I guess this is ok." said Solana.

Solana then picks up her Plusle. " Hey there little Plusle.." said Solana petting her Pokemon. " Plah!" cheered the Plusle as she jumped on Solana's head. " Aww! I think she likes you, Solana!" said Leslie. " Heh..I guess so. It is kind of cute." said Solana.

The Plusle then runs off of her master's head and runs upstairs.

" I wonder where it's going.." said Gabriel.

Just then they hear the sound of a vase breaking.

" Solana, did I mention that you're responsible for your Pokemon?" asked Gabriel. " Eh..Maybe having a Pokemon isn't going to be so easy." said Solana.

Well that was Solana's chapter! Next chapter is Daisy's! Stick around for that!

Bye Sasuki234.
