~Lira, the stressed out pokemon fanfic writer
Lira's POV.
After Ash had rung the doorbell, Bill greeted us warmly and told us to come inside. The massive doors opened, and we walked in his lighthouse. There stood Bill and Prof. Oak with their backs to us. They turned around. "Ah, Lira. So there you are." Prof. Oak greeted me. "I'm glad to finally see you!" I exclaimed. Bill and Prof. Oak looked at me intently, while Ash, Misty, Brock and even Pikachu and Togepi looked at me surprised. "Uh, again! I'm glad to finally see you again!" I said desperately, louder than I wanted to. "Um, that's good. Please have a seat." Bill told us.
We all sat down on a chair around a round wooden table. "Oh, I almost forgot! Here is your new pokedex." Prof. Oak said to me, as he handed me a pokedex. I pressed a button on the front, and it opened up. It made a 'ding' sound. "I am Dex, a Megadex made by Prof. Oak. I am especially programmed for Pokemon Elite Lira." it said in a Dexter-like voice, only in a soft female voice.
"Pokemon Elite? Am I really that good?" I asked Prof. Oak and Bill. "Yes, you defeated the Elite Four and the Champion Lance, didn't you?" Bill told me. I blushed at the compliment, as my other 'team mates' gasped in shock. "You defeated the..." Misty started. "Elite Four..." Ash continued. "and the Champion Lance?" Brock finished.
"Yeah, but I gave back the Champion leadership to Lance. I still got a permanent place in the Hall of Fame, though." I explained. "But, why?" Brock asked me. "Because I wanted to catch all the pokemon, and discover new ones." I replied. Brock nodded in agreement. "Can I see your pokemon? Please?" Ash begged me. "Well, okay. Tomorrow. It's night time now." I answered. "Would you like some rooms to stay in for the night?" Bill asked us. We all nodded our heads rapidly. Bill just smiled and gave us directions to our rooms.

[In the morning...]
Lira's POV.
I yawned and stretched out on the king-sized bed. It was about 6:00 a.m. I wondered if there was anyone up at this hour. I got up, took a bath and changed into my fav. singlet and shorts. I put on my slippers, too. I didn't know why, but I felt like it. By that time, it was only 6:30. I walked down the maze of twisting stairways and corridors (A.N. What do you expect in a lighthouse?), until I got down to the dining room. Only Misty was awake.
"Oh, hi Lira! Bill and Prof. Oak went out to study the DNA of a Ponyta and Rapidash. They want to find out if their DNA has changed when pokemon evolve, or something like that." Misty greeted me.
I smiled and took the chair opposite of her. "Is Ash up yet?" I asked her. "Nah, he's usually up at this time when we're on the road, but I guess the comfort of a real bed to sleep in has really gotten to him." she replied.
"Um, Lira?" Misty asked me while we were reading one of the magazines in the lighthouse. "Yes?" I replied, looking up from 'Our Pokemon'. "Is it really true that you defeated the Elite Four and the Champion Lance?" she uneasily asked me. "Yep, he said that he felt happy for me after the battle. He nearly wiped out Pansy!" I smiled. "Uh, who's Pansy?" she asked me, confused. "Oh, Pansy's my Meganium. I give nicknames to them, so that if I'm in a battle with someone who has the same type of pokemon, we wouldn't get confused." I explained. "Oh, okay." she answered back, and we continued reading our magazines.

[Later on (7:30 a.m.)]
Lira's POV.
"Can I see your pokemon now Lira? Pleaseeeee?" Ash begged me after eating his breakfast. "Ash! We don't want to insult her!" Misty hissed to him and smacked the back of his head. "OWWW! What did ya do that for?!" Ash shouted at her, while rubbing where Misty had smacked him. "For insulting our new traveller!" she answered back.
"Well, can I still see them?" Ash asked me once again. I laughed and said, "Sure! Uh, Bill, is there any wide open space that I can use, for a little while?". "Yes, follow me." he answered and led us out.

Lira's POV.
"Okay, come on out!" I cried and threw out my pokeballs after Bill had left. Apparently, he had more studying to do with Prof. Oak. All my pokemon came out. "Guys, this is Pansy, my Meganium. Whoopy, my Wooper. Lunar, my Teddiursa. Flapper, my Pidgeotto. Sandy, my Sandshrew. And Happy, my Togepi." I introduced them to my new friends, while pointing to each one.
I turned to my pokemon. "The girl with red hair is Misty, the guy with hair pointing all directions and is wearing a green vest is Brock, the boy with that cap is Ash, and their pokemon are Togepi and Pikachu." I said to my pokemon while making some gestures. My pokemon snickered quietly at my actions.
Suddenly, Togepi jumped out of Misty's arms. "Togepi, where are you going?" Misty cried out. Togepi ignored her 'mother' and walked over to Happy. They engaged in conversation. "I guess your Togepi likes my Happy, Misty!" I said, smiling. "Now, can you introduce me to your pokemon?" I asked them, so as not to be suspicious. "Sure!" was all they said before letting out their pokemon. We had to borrow an inflatable pool from Bill so that Goldeen could swim in it.
Pretty soon, most of the other pokemon were playing in it too! The ones that prefered to stay on land just sunbathed near the mini-pool. We changed into our bathing suits and played with our pokemon. It was a really really REALLY great day! We were so tired out that as soon as we ate dinner and changed, we fell right asleep.
End of Chapter 3.
I think this is a pretty short chapter. :( Oh, well. Chapter 4 is coming out soon. *mutters* Stupid concert... *goes back to normal voice* Here are some questions for you to ponder! When will Bill and Prof. Oak reveal Lira's secret? How will our other heroes react to this? When are Team Rocket gonna show up again? Will this fic have some romance? And if it has, who is it with? Ash and Misty? Most likely. When will I stop blabbering and start the other chapter? I think I can answer that. *drumroll* And the answer is... NOW! *gasps* How did you guess?! Are you psychics? Now those are questions for me to ponder! But, I said for you to ponder? ????? Oh, well. I have to practice and continue the other chapter now. :)
But, first, I have to take my insane medicine. *grabs a bottle* I TOOK ISNANE ME DICINE! NOW I'M MORE ISNANE! TEE-HEE! Bye! ~Lira, the pokemon ficcy author who doesn't own pokemon and jsut took soem isnane me dicine! *breathes deeply* Bye! (Real this time!)
