Prologue

Hello, it's me Rosie, once again! How have you all been? Are you going to see what happens next? Well, you should because things are going to get a lot more interesting!

Previously, I caught Crimson, my newest pokemon. Crimson is a wonderful little Vulpix that has very blue eyes. He's a tough combatant and he shouldn't be taken lightly!

I was also in the Taste of Sunset, a pokemon tournament/ beauty pageant. I came in second place and thanks to my pokemon, I received an egg that contains a pokemon that is probably very rare. Anything will do for me because I'll raise it as good as I can.

Skyler is doing all right but I have noticed that he seems to float around. Maybe he doesn't want to travel anymore, but I think that he wants to find a gym or something that he can train at. If he wanted that, I would completely understand.

Ellie is getting stronger every time we train and participate in battles. I usually fare pretty good in them but I also lose a couple battles. I don't let that put me down though, because losing gives you an opportunity to excel in what you do. Meaning that you can improve upon yourself, it reminds me of that old saying "what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger".

Vanilla and Flash are getting quite powerful too. Flash is getting a little bigger and even quicker. Vanilla is starting to get bigger too, I wonder if she's going to evolve soon. It would be great if she would but I'm happy with the way that she is. I read that Eevees evolve into Espeon and Umbreon when they are extremely happy with their trainers. I think that Flash is really starting to warm up to me so maybe he'll evolve soon also.

Banana Island, the place that we're going to has it's own unique gym. I wonder what the gym battles will be like. They should be fun and I hope that I can win them.

Maybe Banana Island has some type of event that we can partake in, either way we're bound to have some fun.

Well, right now we're docking into a bustling port and we're getting ready to step foot on the isle's soil for the first time ever. Let the story begin!

Chapter One

Ah! Fresh air! Ellie says with a yawn. Last night we slept in the cabin of the Flower Ferry. It was very humid there and it was almost impossible to breathe but luckily we managed to.

I look at my watch that's on my wrist. It's about eight o' clock in the morning and we had just woken up fifteen minutes ago. I only clocked in about six hours of sleep, which is enough because we could sleep all day if we wanted. That's one of the joys of being on your own with no parents, or school for that matter.

Skyler was almost like a zombie; his eyes were half- open and if his arms were out in front of him, that would complete the costume.

"Wake up sleepy head!" I say jokingly and nudge him in the ribs.

He giggles half-heartedly.

I frown just a little bit.

"What's wrong Skyler?" I ask in a caring voice. He had been a little sick over the past few days.

"Oh nothing…" He says, making himself smile.

I lead him to a graceful willow tree by the dock and sit him down. I took out a handkerchief and poured some of my fresh water on it. I wipe his eyes and face to get that mucus stuff out of it.

"Much better." I say as I wring the handkerchief, making it free of water.

"Do you feel any better?" I ask him.

"Yeah!" He says.

"Would you like any soup?" I ask him, showing him a can of tomato soup that we had.

"Okay." He says and places Sammy on his lap.

"I choose you Crimson!" I say and hold out his pokeball. He leaps out and lick me on the cheek.

"Thanks a lot Crimson!" I say with a giggle.

"Come on out Vanilla!" I say and Vanilla comes out of her pokeball and gives me a hug.

"You're all pretty happy today!" I say.

Yeah! Vanilla says.

Uh huh! Crimson agrees.

"Hey Vanilla! Could you break of some twigs for us?" I ask her as I take out a pot.

Okay! She says and extends her lime green colored vines up the tree. She wraps them around a few branches and breaks them off with ease.

"Thanks Vanilla!" I say.

I walk over to the dock because I see a few rocks stuck in some soil. I scoop some up along with a bucketful of sand and walk back to the willow tree.

I then arrange the rocks in a circle and pour a little sand in the ring. Then I grab the twigs and place them in the ring. Crimson got the clue and ignites the tinder and we ended up with a bright flame.

"Thanks everyone!" I say.

You're welcome! They say.

I decide to let them out their pokeballs for a while so I release Flash also so they can romp around and do whatever it is that pokemon do.

Soon the soup is cooking and I stir it every few minutes or so. Skyler just relaxes under the tree and snoozes for a while.

I decide to take out my egg and give it a polishing before the soup finished.

"I wonder what this is going to become?" I think to myself as I go over the egg in circles. I'm hoping that it will be a water pokemon because I need one for the team.

I crawl over to the soup and give it a final stir before I pour it into some bowls for all of us.

"Crimson, Ellie, Flash, Vanilla, come and get some grub!" I yell and sure enough I see my wonderful little friends trampling down the hill and coming to their bowls.

I can't help but smile as I watch them eat their food. Flash had a little ring of soup around his mouth. He looks so cute! I wipe it off his face and then hand some bowls over to Skyler, Sammy, Brownie, and Samantha. They eat up and then I decide to eat my soup.

It warms my whole body and I feel energized after I finish eating.

I jump up and recall my pokemon and urge Skyler to get up so we can go to the pokemon center.

About fifteen minutes later we arrive at a modern looking building with a huge red P on it with a bunch of bananas surrounding it.

We walk into the center and ask the Nurse Joy if we can stay in a room for a few days.

Once we get our room we take off our backpacks and sit down on the full-sized bed that we're supposed to sleep in for the days to come.

"I'm going to take a shower." I say and take out the necessary items for me to do so.

"Okay." He says and tucks himself under the sheets to take a nap.

***

When I get out the shower I put on a brand new outfit that consists of a pair of blue denim overalls and baby blue baby tee. I purchased it at a store on Sunset Island called Siren.

When I get to the room Skyler is sound asleep so I write a note saying that I was going to be out all day so he doesn't have to worry about me.

When I get out the pokemon center, Ellie and I decide to do some sightseeing. We visited the Banana Museum, home of the largest banana tree in the world. It was like five hundred feet tall and it had a ton of bananas on it.

At around noon we went to the Banana Tree Mall and I bought a few magazines about the upcoming Flower League Championships that'll take place in a few months.

At around six o' clock in the evening we finally retire to a wooden bark bench.

Suddenly I feel a light tap on my shoulder so I turn around to see who it was. I find myself staring into the gray eyes of a cute boy with short blue hair.

"Um…hello. My name is Rosie, what's your name?" I ask him nervously.

"It's Hugh, nice to meet you Rosie, would you like to have a one on one pokemon battle with me?" He asks in a friendly voice.

"Sure, I never reject a pokemon battle!" I see getting a little hyper.

"Well I choose you Pikachu!" He yells.

"Go Crimson!" I say and call out my Vulpix.

*!*

"Ooh, a Pikachu! This should be a good fight!" I think.

"Pikachu use thunderbolt!" Hugh says.

Take this! The male Pikachu says! He releases a bolt of yellow lightning. I quickly jump out the way.

"Excellent! Now use quick attack!" Rosie tells me. I take a graceful leap and dematerialize to different spots of the grass. This confuses the little mouse and I go in for the kill and ram into the pokemon.

Ouch! I scream and fall to the ground in pain.

"Don't take that Pikachu! Use swift attack!" Hugh says and points at me.

Pikachu releases dozens of these stars and they all hit me. I fall down and yelp in pain.

"Are you okay Crimson?" Rosie asks full of concern.

I jump to my feet ready for the next attack.

"Good, use a flamethrower attack!" Rosie says. I summon up the fire within myself and release at the pokemon. It jumps into the air to my surprise.

"Finish it of with a thunderbolt Pikachu!" Pikachu fills the

Ha! Pikachu yells as he releases all his energy onto me. I get shocked beyond belief.

"Oh no! Return Crimson!"

***

"That was a good battle, but my Pikachu seemed to have an advantage!" Hugh boasts.

I frown.

"It's not nice to brag!" I pout.

"Sorry but I can't help it!" He says and laughs. I keep up the stony expression on my face. He takes the hint and begins to walk away.

"Maybe I'll see some more of you!" He yells.

"Don't count it!" I yell back.

"Come on Ellie; let's get back to the pokemon center!" I say and Ellie hops onto my shoulder.

Chapter Two

"Ah, I feel so much better today!" Skyler exclaims. He then stretches his arms and gets out of the bed.

I open one eye to look at him. I was still tired; maybe it was the fact that this is the first time I've been in a bed in a few weeks.

"That's great!" I say and then nod back off.

Come on Rosie, it almost noon! Ellie says as she nudges my arm.

"Just a few more minutes!" I tell her, pulling the blanket up even closer.

I'll use a stomp attack on you! She threatens.

I didn't know what she said but when she jumped ten feet into the air I quickly rolled over avoiding the attack.

"Okay!" I say groggily and walk to the bathroom to do all the morning necessities. You know, brush teeth, wash face, and take a shower?

After I'm finished I put on my clothes and get Ellie so we can get something to eat at the PokeCafé, a café that's located in just about all of the pokemon centers in the Flower League.

Of course, Nurse Joy is the cashier and we order some pancakes and the pokemon special. The pokemon special is sliced assorted fruit, pistachios, and coconut milk.

The pokemon gulp their food down and express their thanks by giving me a hug.

After they eat, I consume my fluffy pancakes. I savor each tiny square of pancake, oozing with delicious maple syrup dripping on to the plate. "Ah, these are so yummy!", I think.

Skyler sits down in the chair next to me.

"Aren't they delicious?" He asks me. There is no doubt that he ordered the exact same thing.

I nod my approval.

"So are you going to the gym today?" He asks while he programs his pokegear that he purchased in Sunset Island. Now we won't have to use the Videophone anymore!

"Yeah, hopefully I can win a badge." I say, getting up to put the plates away and to return my pokemon so they can be healed before we go to the gym.

Skyler and Sammy follow me to the counter.

"Hello Nurse Joy, could you pleas heal my pokemon?" I ask her.

"Sure Rosie! That's my job!" She says with that cheery voice of hers. She takes my pokeballs and goes to a room to examine them and heal him.

About a half-hour later she comes back and hands me my fully healed pokemon.

Ellie jumps on my shoulder.

"Your pokemon are in great condition Rosie! Since I see that you feed them a mostly vegetarian diet their energy and appearance has increased! The coconut milk around here is full of nutrients and they give your pokemon a glossy coat of fur. You should give them coconut milk on a daily basis." She informs as I put the pokeballs onto my pokebelt.

"Why thank you Nurse Joy! I never realized that!" I tell her, and I hadn't realized it. Maybe when I use them in battle today, it'll show in their performance.

***

"Give me my pokemon back you big bully!" A little boy yells.

I look at Skyler and we run up to see what the problem is. When we turn the corner I see Josh pulling a Butterfree away from a kid with short red hair.

"Shut up you little runt!" Josh yells.

I step in at this point.

"Leave that little kid alone Josh!" I say, growing angry.

The boy takes this opportunity to get away with his pokemon. He kicks Josh in the shin and runs up to me.

"Everything's going to be okay!" I reassure the boy.

"It's you Rosie! You're always meddling in someone else's affairs!" Josh shouts. He raises his fist up to me.

"Well if only you could do something nice, maybe she wouldn't!" Skyler says, sticking up for me.

"She can speak up for herself!" He yells.

"Just stop!" I scream.

Everyone immediately shuts up.

"If you just leave and don't come back there won't have to be a fight!" I offer.

"That's the sissy way, go Sandshrew!" Josh says sending out a small Sandshrew.

"I choose you Ellie!" I say.

*!*

"Sandshrew, scratch that monkey!" Josh tells his pokemon.

Ah! The pokemon yells and he launches a full assault on me. I block his scratches, hitting his arms away. Then I grab them and jump behind his back, putting him into a restrained position.

"Mega kick!" Rosie tells me. I let go for a second and drop kick the Sandshrew and his owner into the air, sending them up to the stratosphere.

"You won't be seeing the last of me you bitch!" Josh yells.

"Whatever Josh! Don't let me catch you trying to steal another pokemon again!" Rosie yells at him but somehow he disappears into some little sparkly thing.

Rosie scoops me up in her arms an embraces me.

"Oh Ellie! You did a great job!" She says lovingly.

No problem! I say.

***

"Oh thank you miss!" The little boy says as he hugs my legs.

I smile at the cute little boy's face.

"That's okay!" We say.

"What's your name little boy?" I ask him cheerfully.

"My name is Chase!" He says proudly as he points to himself. He was wearing a pair of blue shorts and an orange t-shirt.

"Where's your parents Chase?" I ask him.

"They died a long time ago." He says and his smile turns into a deep frown.

This makes me think for a little bit, wondering whom he lived with and if he is homeless.

"Well whom do you live with?" Skyler asks the boy.

"I live with my Gamma!" He says in that little accent that little kids seem to have.

"Oh!" I say, flooding with relief.

"Well let's get you home!" I say.

***

"Oh thank you Rosie!" His grandmother, Johanna, says.

"It was a mean ole bully who tried to take Cyclone away from me Gamma!" Chase tells her.

"Why don't you all come back for dinner with me later on after the gym battle?" Johanna asks.

"Well, if it doesn't cost you too much trouble." Skyler tells her.

Johanna was a frail woman who was in her early sixties. Her hair was mainly a silver color and she had on a sea foam green dress with a white apron on it. She was a nice lady, indeed.

"Hush child! It's my pleasure!" She jokes.

"Okay Johanna!" I say.

"We'll be back soon!" I tell her and Skyler and I we were soon on our way to the Banana Island Gym.

***

The Banana Island Gym is a huge establishment that has a clear dome over the top like practically all the gyms and other establishments in the Flower Archipelago. It has a huge banana bunch next to the sign that tells you the name of the gym.

"You ready Ellie?" I ask my faithful pokemon.

Yes! Let's do it! She says and jumps off my shoulder and onto the ground.

After the usual registering, I find myself in the stadium waiting for the gym leader to appear. Skyler was in the bleachers, along with a few other people waiting for the battle to commence.

A tall young man that is at least twenty-two walks in the room. He has medium length black hair that is curled at the ends. A pair of silver-framed sunglasses pulled to the top of his hair with a loose lock of hair hanging out. He was wearing a pair of green shorts and a white t-shirt. Overall, he was a decent looking guy but he isn't my type, not at all.

"So you must be the beautiful Rosie, are you ready to battle?" He asks in a sly voice.

"Yes, whoever you are." I say.

"My name is Tommy and we're having a three on three battle." He says and with a flick of the wrist, our names and faces appear on a billboard and it has three slots in it.

"Okay, I'm ready!" I say, tying my hair into a ponytail.

Tommy glances back at me and smiles; it was a dazzling smile indeed. Maybe he liked something or me.

"Good luck Rosie!" Skyler cheers.

"Thanks Skyler." I say and Ellie and I walk to the end of the arena.

"For my first pokemon, I choose you Phanphy!" Tommy says and a small elephant pokemon with a long trunk and bluish- gray body appears in the arena.

"Well I'm going to use an advantage against this pokemon! Go Vanilla!" I say. Phanphy is a ground pokemon and ground pokemon are naturally at a disadvantage against grass pokemon.

*!*

I eye the little elephant pokemon on the field. It seems quite passive and gentle but that's probably the exterior. Maybe he was a hard core fighter in the inside that has trained to be strong against grass types!

You better watch out because you're going down! Phanphy says. Maybe it's all a bluff but I'm hoping that it is.

Whatever bud. I shout back.

"Let the battle begin!" The ref says.

"Start things off with a tackle attack!" Tommy says.

Phanphy obediently charges at me but I quickly hop out the way.

"Good job Vanilla, show him your razor leaf attack!" Rosie tells me.

I swing the leaf atop my head releasing four razor sharp leaves at the pokemon. The razor leaves injure the pokemon and it squeals in pain.

"Hang in there Phanphy, use rollout attack!" Tommy tells it. Phanphy curls into a ball and rolls at me at lightning speed; I don't know what hits me when it does. I fall to the ground in pain.

"Oh Vanilla return!" Rosie pleads, holding out the pokeball.

No! I will not be defeated! I yell and sidestep the beam of light.

"Vanilla I said return!" Rosie says getting a little confused.

"You should learn how to handle your pokemon better!" Tommy tells her.

Phanphy winds up and hits me with another rollout attack. I scream in pain.

"Vanilla! Please return, you'll get seriously hurt!" Rosie cries.

I'm hit with another attack. I'm not taking this anymore.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I scream and a new sensation overcomes my body. I feel some stretching and crackling sounds. New features are growing onto my body. My eyes turn a sapphire blue color. I think I'm evolving!

"Wha?" Rosie says scratching her head.

Then her eyes light up.

"Oh Vanilla, you're evolving!" She gasps.

That's right Rosie! I say as I finish the process.

Rosie flips out her pokedex.

"Bayleef: The leaf pokemon. This pokemon releases a spicy, yet sweet, aroma from it leaves. This aroma can stir up battle feelings and heal other pokemon or humans. In the Flower League, Bayleef aren't that common but they are very powerful. A great pokemon for any collection!" It says in that mechanical voice that everyone loves.

""You're awesome Vanilla!" Skyler yells.

Thanks everyone!

Rosie has a sparkly look in her eyes.

"Oh Vanilla, I'm so proud of you!" Rosie cries.

I smile at her compliment. Rosie truly loves me, that's everything I ever wanted. A trainer to love me for who I am. I'm going to try my very best from now on!

'Hey! It's good that it evolved but let's get back to the match!" Tommy says, tapping his foot impatiently.

If you want a battle, you're going to get one! I boast. Then I stretch my long legs and swivel the leaf atop my head.

"Okay! Vanilla use vine whip attack!" Rosie tells me.

All right! I say and whip the Phanphy from it's little ball. The pokemon is sprawled out on the ground in defeat.

"What? How can this be? Return!" Tommy says with a roll of his eyes.

You better believe it! I say.

"Great job Vanilla." Rosie says.

Hey girl, you look great! Ellie says.

Thanks Ellie! I say with a laugh.

"Go Raticate!" Tommy says and a huge rat appears on the field.

"Raticate use tackle attack!" He says.

"Use your razor leaves!" Rosie tells me. I swivel the leaf and ten leaves come out, stopping the pokemon dead in his tracks. He falls down in defeat.

"No! How can a Bayleef do all this damage? Go Beedrill!" He yells. A bee pokemon with a large stinger comes forth.

"Poison sting attack!" He yells.

"Use reflect!" Rosie says. I put up the energy barrier and the needles are deflected.

"Twin needle!" He yells. Beedrill jabs the stinger at me but I dodge each one.

"Good defense Vanilla. Slam it!" Rosie tells me. I grab the Beedrill's arms and abdomen with my vines. Then with all my might, I slam it down to the ground, leaving it with a dazed expression on it's face.

"Uh! I lost!" Tommy says as he returns his fallen pokemon.

He then saunters up to Rosie and hands out a sparkling new Banana Badge.

"I guess you deserve this." He says.

"Thank you!" She says. Then she runs up to me and gives me the best hug I ever had. I fill the gym with a sweet scent to make everyone relaxed.

"I love you Vanilla!" She says.

I love you too Rosie! She says.

***

Skyler and Tommy talk over a few things and agree to train here and help out Johanna.

Skyler says goodbye to all the pokemon then he walks up to me.

"I guess I won't see you for a while Rosie." He says and looks at the ground.

I lift his chin up and stare into his eyes.

"We'll be in touch; there's no need to say goodbye!" I tell him.

"You're right! Until we meet again?" He asks.

"Of course buddy!" I say.

He leans over and gives me a kiss and we embrace each other. About ten seconds later I realize that we're still kissing. I pull away.

I giggle nervously. That was wonderful!

"Okay see you later!" I say and walk away. I wave back to him, Sammy, Samantha, and Brownie.

"Talk to you soon!" He says.

Oh, I'm going to miss him!

***

"So I guess we're going to Hydrangea Island!" I say to Rosie as we pay for our ferry ride.

Yeah! Ellie says excitedly.

"I guess it's going to be just you and me for a while." I say and then think of the kiss Skyler and I shared. The first kiss that we have ever had. This is going to be a lifetime memory!

Yeah, I guess so… Ellie says flatly.

"We can meet new people and new pokemon!" I say feeling full of confidence.

"Wait!" I hear a tiny voice yell. I look over to see Chase and Johanna briskly walking towards me.

"What are you guys doing here?" I ask, completely taken over by surprise.

"Could you take Chase here with you?" Johanna says with a smile.

Whoa, a kid. But Chase is the best kid I know.

"I'll be really good! I promise!" He begs.

How could I resist that smile?

"Sure Chase!" I say.

"Yippee! You're the best!" Chase says and hugs my legs.

"Oh thank you Rosie! Be sure to keep him out of trouble!" Johanna says and gives Chase a final hug. I receive a hug also.

"Bye Gamma!" Chase yells as she walks away.

"Bye Johanna!" I say.

"We're going to have a lot of fun!" I say.

"Yeah! Lotsa fun!" Chase exclaims as he hugs his Butterfree.

Uh-oh a new responsibility!
