Disclaimer: what's the point of this? You know I don't own pokemon don't you? o.O;;

Kaori's voice drifted out over the crowd. She sang higher, then lower, harmonizing with herself. At first she had been nervous but after the music had started up she'd felt much better. Now it was the end of the song and she accented the last high notes, holding the last one until the music stopped.

The audience went wild. Kaori blushed slightly as someone yelled "KAORI!!" as loud as they could. Then her heart skipped a beat. The voice had sounded like...

"Espeon!" She cried as she scooped him up into a hug. After being congratulated by many people she was finally allowed to go and see him. He was at the back of the auditorium with Nurse Joy. "I missed you!"

"Missed you!" The little pokemon echoed, grinning and folding his large ears back. Kaori grinned back.

"You learning to talk?"

"Yup!" He said and poked her with a small paw "Hello!" She giggled. So did Nurse Joy.

"Well Kaori," Nurse Joy had let them enjoy their little reunion but now was talking business "If you'll please come with me we need to go to Professor Oak"

"Professor Oak? Why not Elm?"

"Because this is very important. I'll explain when we get there..." She said paling ever so slightly and biting her lip

"Well, ok!"

"OK!" Cried Espeon.

Nurse Joy drove them to Mr. Pokemon's house in her ambulance. Kaori had checked with Mrs.. Hazel and it was OK to be away from the orphanage for one night because school was now out. It was about a four-hour ride and Kaori spent most of the time teaching Espeon new words. They arrived sometime around midnight.

"Well sleep tonight and talk in the morning," Nurse Joy told her as they went in the door.

"Greetings!" A very crinkled man stuck his head around the corner "I'll be right with you!" There was a cry of a pokemon and the sound of boxes being knocked over. He finally came over to them

"Salutations! I'm Professor Oak!" He said grabbing Kaori's hand and shaking it.

"Salutations!" Espeon said happily

"Extraordinary," Professor Oak said and got down on his knees examining the pokemon

"Extraordinary," Espeon marveled and mimicked Oak, studying him with one large violet eye. Everyone laughed

"This pokemon is a very exiting find! I must run a few tests on him!"

"Tomorrow Oak. Kaori and Espeon need their rest."

"Yes, of course" Oak sighed disappointed and showed Kaori to her room.

After changing into her nightgown and brushing her hair, teeth and Espeon she got in to bed. Espeon leapt nimbly onto the foot of her bed

"Goodnight!" He said lying down and curling his tails up to his small black nose

"Goodnight!" Kaori laughed. Just before turning off the light she looked up at a scroll on the wall "Every day its cake and tea, just my pokemon and me" She read and looked weirdly at it "Strange" She mused before turning off the light

"Every day its cake and tea. Just my pokemon and me" Espeon said tiredly, and they both drifted off to sleep.

When Kaori woke up Espeon was gone.

"No surprise" She told herself yawning "Oaks probably just testing him" She took a shower, changed into her clothes -black baggy pants and a tight red top- and walked into the kitchen. Nurse Joy greeted her

"Good morning!" She said

"Hiya!" Kaori smiled back. Suddenly there was an angry cry and a scuffling sound. Espeon magically appeared on her head

"Good morning!" He squealed. Kaori grinned hugely

"Mornin' Sunshine!" She said. A slightly annoyed Oak walked into the room

"Had to teleport just when I was at the most crucial point..." He sighed, "Well he is quite attached to you," He added with a wry smile "I was going to suggest a Pikachu but he will do just fine"

"What do you mean?" Kaori said confused

"You will learn soon enough but first I must tell you about him. It's very rare what happened to him. Once in a wile, a pokemon is born in the wild, actually at level four. This pokemon then has the ability to get more powerful than a regular one. I've heard rumors about a secret clan of wild eevees in Goldenrod Fields but they must be true. He must have been one of them. Anyways these ones born at level four are extremely sensitive to emotions. If one of these are angered at a higher level it can be very dangerous. Of course if one of these was happy at a higher level it would be extremely powerful."

"But how did he evolve if he was in the wild?"

"Like I said they are very sensitive. My theory is right when he was born he saw something like a pretty flower, maybe his mother, or-"

"A butterfly" Espeon cut in, folding his ears back, swishing his tails almost angrily, and looking at the ground. Kaori squeezed his paw reassuringly.

"Yes," Oak continued "Anyways I think he was probably unwanted when he suddenly evolved-" Kaori laughed lightly

"Just jealous" she whispered to Espeon

"Anyways they probably kicked him out"

"So that's why he was all beat up!" Kaori cried. It was all coming together.

"But now I must tell you something Kaori. Something that will change your life."

"Wh-what?" Kaori asked confused. Nurse Joy put a hand on her shoulder and Espeon rubbed his head against her like a cat, sensing something bad was happening next.

"Your parents aren't dead" Kaori looked up in wonder "They are Ash and Misty Ketchum" She gasped. She had heard stories about those two. The most powerful trainer in the world and his wife. Said to have died years ago. "Here is what happened" Continued Oak "They were involved with the Rockets. Trying to stop them. Powerful rockets kidnapped them. Only the league champion can open the gate to Mount Silver. You've heard of that right?" Kaori nodded "So they kidnapped him and Misty, forced him to open the gate and locked them in there. The rockets forgot to kidnap their daughter-you" Kaori paled "No one has been able to get league champion since. Its time to get them out." He rested a hand on her shoulder "Tomorrow I will register you as a trainer and you can start your Journey from New Bark Town-"

"That is if you want to" Cut in Nurse Joy

"Yes of course, I would also register Espeon as your first pokemon ever, give you a pokedex, pokeballs, it's the only way you can ever see them alive... and you must hurry if you'll do so. You need to save them from the rockets"

"Every day its cake and tea just my pokemon and me" Espeon said solemnly. Oak shot him a look but Kaori barely smiled. Her parents were alive-and they were the most powerful trainers in the world! The world around her blurred and she blacked out.

"Hullo? Hullo?" Espeon was looking into her face blinking.

"What happened?" She asked herself "Nothing! It was all a dream! Just a bad dream!"

"I'm afraid not..." Came Oaks voice. She groaned and closed her eyes again.

"I'm not a trainer! I'm a sing-" She stopped suddenly. "To be a Master I need at least 150 pokemon right?"

"Correct"

"But I just need data for them right? I don't have to keep them?" Her eyes got a sparkle in them

"Correct"

"So if I wanted I could give them away to ...like... the kids at the orphanage?"

"Why yes I suppose so!" Oak said. She smiled weakly and thought of all the children at the orphanage, having a pokemon!

"Do it!" Espeon said excitedly. She looked at him and smiled

"I'll do it," She concluded.
