Walking along the forest path outside of Violet City with Robbie, Annika wondered what her destiny had in store for her. It was then a flock of Farfetch'd flew over.
Robbie was already running after them, so Annika followed. "Go Espeon!" she cried out as she released the Pokemon. "Give two a confusion attack!" Annika told the Pokemon.
"Espeon!" Espeon cried, and soon two were flapping around in circles away from the flock.
"Robbie, catch one and I'll take the other," Annika cried out as she removed an empty Pokeball. "Espeon, sand attack!"
"Espe!" Espeon unleashed a sand attack, and the one she was going after fell to the ground, but had not fainted.
"Go Pokeball!" The Farfetch'd disappeared into the Pokeball, and after a few moments she knew it was caught. "Great job, Espeon! Come on out, Farfetch'd!"
As the Pokemon materialized, Robbie returned with a sad expression on his face. "Chinchou fainted it, but I see you caught one!"
"Yep," Annika said.
"Farfetch'd Far Far!"
"He says don't worry, and that his flock is flying towards Azaela Town."
"Great," Robbie said as grabbed his backpack he had discarded and pulled it back on. "It's getting dark. Do you want to make camp here?"
"That would be nice,"Annika said as she dropped her backpack and pulled out her sleeping bag and tent, as well as her other three Pokeballs. "Come out Meganium, Kingler, Meowth!"
As her Pokemon materialized, Annika unrolled her tent and began to put it together. As she worked, she began to speak. "Kingler, do you think you can keep guard tonight?"
"Kingler!"
"Okay, good," Annika said. "Robbie, you do know that my parents abandoned me at the orphanage in New Bark when I was a week old, don't you?"
"No, I didn't," Robbie said as he piled the wood for the fire up.
"The director of the orphanage told me that there was a pair of Noctowl watching me for about a week afterwards from the window next to my crib before the disappeared and were never seen again," Annika said as she finished the tent and unrolled her sleeping bag, sliding it in. "The director told me that about that time a Gastly took up residence in the orphanage for about five years until the Shumakers took me in, and then it disappeared."
"Why have you been the Shumaker's foster-child for eleven years without being adopted?" Robbie asked.
"That I really don't know, Annika said as she sat down on a log next to the fire, Espeon curling up to her legs. "But if you want I can tell you my entire life's story."
"If you would."
"Okay," Annika said. "It started...."
The director of the orphanage told me that with my crib they found a note that said my name was Annika Mia Kaleathinas, so the director looked up my last name in the files of residents of New Bark, but found no one so it was decided that they were not from around here, so they stopped looking after a week. I grew up in the orphanage with about four others my age until the Shumakers, June and Petr, took me in to be a companion for their daughter Cela. With me came Chikorita, the Pokemon that I had found in the alley behind the orphanage, using a Pokeball I found in the orphanage. They gave me a little room on the main floor with a bed and a desk and some clothes, but that was basically it. I grew up expecting the Shumaker's to adopt me but they never did, so I just continued to be me. I found Eevee when I was eight trying to claw her way out of a window of Julias Kester's place so I took a rock and broke the window, grabbing Eevee and bringing her back home with me where I cleaned her up and put a cute red ribbon on her next and loved her, and by the end of the day she had evolved to Espeon out of happiness. Then Krabby came about a month later, when I was walking on the beach on vacation. I took him in and when I was thirteen he evolved. Meganium became Meganium when I was twelve, by the way. Me and Cela never got along, so we never really talked. She had her Golbat she was always training...
"Now you know."
