Disclaimer: I no own. Simple as that!

"Ow! Sorry, I should have been watching!" I said as I got up.

"It's ok; I was in a hurry to leave." said a familiar voice.

"Ash Ketchum, it's just like you to try to run over a new trainer!" Misty yelled.

"I didn't try to! I was in a hurry to get to Vermillion to get back to Johto!" The guy who tried to run me over, Ash, turned to me. "You're the newbie? So you're the one Professor Oak has that Eevee for! I'm Ash Ketchum, I came in second place in the Indigo League!" he said proudly.

"Pika, pika, ka chu!" said Pikachu. If I could understand Togepi, then why can't I understand Pikachu? I leaned over to Misty.

"When I get better at training, I'll call you guys so that I can deflate his ego." I whispered. Misty giggled and nodded. I went inside.

"Ah, there you are, Megan. I have your Pokémon right here. I just need to test you to see how much you know about types and the various Gym Leaders." Professor Oak said.

"Element question. What types are Water Pokémon strong and weak against?"

"They are strong against Fire, Rock and Ground types and weak against Electricity and Grass types. They have little effect on Ice types and normal effect on the rest." I said at once. I know my Pokémon types. I looked around absently and saw Tracey Sketchit out the window, in the reserve. He was sketching what looked like a young Espeon. I'd have to come back later and get a job taking care of the Espeon.

"Good. Normal Types?"

"Weak against Fighting-Types and no definite strong suit. They have little effect on Rock-Types, though, and no effect on Ghost-Types."

"Now, since you are related to a Gym Leader, I will ask you a harder question than normal. Who are the Kanto Gym Leaders, in order, and what Types do they use?" Apparently, he thought this was hard for a rookie trainer. I smirked.

"Brock Slate, Rock-types. Waterflower Sisters, Water-types. Lt. Surge, Electricity. Erika, Grass trainer. Sabrina, Psychic master. Koga, Poison/Bugs. Blaine, Fire-types. And Giovanni, Ground-type trainer. Johto too?" I listed them off.

"No, that's all. Well, I'm impressed. You know more than any rookie I've ever seen. You almost seem like you've done this before. Here is your license and your Pokémon." Oak handed me a cord with an I.D. card on it and a lavender Pokéball. He also handed me a PokéDex. I smiled and ran out the door. I ran all the way to the entrance of town. Then I came to my senses and decided to meet my new partner.

"Pokéball, go!" I tossed the Pokéball to the ground. An Eevee came out and shook herself off.

"Eve, eevee. (Hello. Who are you?)" She said. I could tell it was a girl somehow.

"Hi. I'm Megan. You're my starter. Do you want a name or should I just call you Eevee?" I asked her.

"Eve, eve, eevee! (I want a real name!)" she said excitedly.

"Ok... I'll call you Shinrai. Ok?" I replied. I have no idea how I understood what she said.

"Eevee? (Shinrai?)" she asked.

"It means 'trust'. We'll need a lot of it to get anywhere far in the Archipelago." I said. Then I remembered the Dex that I got. I opened it.

"Name? Age? Origin?" asked a feminine voice.

"Megan Psysis, age 14, Saffron City."

"I am Dextra. You have one Pokémon. Here is the information. Eevee. The fox Pokémon. Due to its genetic make-up, this Pokémon has the ability to evolve into one of 5 different types; Dark, Psychic, Electric, Water, or Fire. For the Dark, treat it nicely at night and make it trust you. For Psychic, do the same during the day. The others require Evolution Stones. This Eevee is female currently at level 10."

"Eve, eevee?! Eve, eve, eevee, eve?! (What?! How did it know that?!)"

"No clue, Shinrai. No clue. Let's get a move on." We ran down the path and we saw Ash and Misty taking a break by the stream.

"Misty! Ash! Hey!" I called. They looked up just as me and Shinrai ran through a bush.

"Hey there! I see you got a license and a PokéDex." Ash said.

"Yeah! Hey, I want you to meet Shinrai, my Eevee." I said. Shinrai, who had been hiding behind me, came out.

"Eve. Eevee, eevee, eve. (Hi. Nice to meet you all.)" After she said that, Shinrai walked off to talk to Pikachu.

"Want to come and eat with us? We have plenty." Misty said. I sat down with them and they handed me a sandwich. I remembered something.

"Ya know, I just remembered. I went to Shamuti once for the festival with Sabby. I read the legend and memorized it. I even remember it now. Freaky coincidence..." I said. Hey, I had to come up with a lie somehow.

"You've heard it? Could you say it, because I don't really remember it all." Ash said.

''Really don't remember it all', my ass. He remembers it, he wants to test me. Oh, well...' I smiled.

"Disturb not the harmony of Fire, Ice, or Lightning,

Lest these titans wreak destruction upon the world in which they clash.

The Water's Great Guardian shall arise to quell the fighting,

But alone its song shall fail.

And thus the Earth shall turn to Ash,

Oh, Chosen One,

Into thine hands bring together all three,

Their treasures combined Shall tame the Beast Of The Sea." I said. "I think that's it... I'm not sure... I saw it a while ago, so who knows..."

"That's it exactly... Wow..." Misty said.

"You mean I actually remembered it?! Wow... I have bad memory too... Then again I AM obsessed with the Psychic Gods..." They just stared. After we finished eating, I got up to get ready to leave. It was sunset, so I figured if I set off now, I could get to Viridian by dark and get a place to stay. I could get my supplies in the morning.

"Hey, Misty. Could you tell me the fastest route to Viridian City? I want to get there by dark." I said.

"Why? You could stay with us and go in the morning." Misty said.

"That's the thing. I have no sleeping bag or anything but money. I need to get to Viridian for some supplies."

"Oh... Ok, down this path, to the right, straight, to the left, then to the right."

"Thanks! Come on Shinrai." We set off. As we walked, I saw tons of Pokémon. Caterpie, Weedle, Venonat, and a Metapod here and there to name a few. I groaned when I saw a Natu and realized I had no way to catch it. I entered the Pokémon Center in Viridian City about 15 minutes later.

"Good evening. I assume that you want a room for tonight?" Nurse Joy asked. I walked up to the desk.

"Yes, please." I said. "Oh, and I want to register to be able to earn the Kanto Gym Badges."

"May I have your name and the town you live in?"

"Megan Psysis from Saffron City."

"Thank you, you can now collect Badges. Now please follow me. You will have room 228. How many Pokémon do you have?" she asked.

"I only have Shinrai right now. I need to get my things in the morning. Thank you for letting me stay the night, Nurse Joy."

"No problem. I love to help out trainers." She smiled and left. I picked up Shinrai and went into the room. Her fur looked coarse but was really soft and warm. I set her on the foot of the bed and took off my shoes. I fell onto the bed and was asleep as soon as I hit the pillow.

As I woke up in the morning, my nose caught the smell of food before my eyes even opened. I looked over to the small table near the window to see a plate of food and a note. (AN: I'm just going to write the translations for speech from now on.)

"A Chansey came in and left that for you. She told me to tell you to read it." said Shinrai. She shivered. "She was waaaaay too cheerful for a Pokémon who takes care of the hurt." I looked at the note.

Megan- I figured that you were a new trainer and you may not have been sure where to get food and whatnot on your first few days. I have some things for you so please stop by the front desk once you are ready. I alerted my third cousin in Saffron to keep an eye out for you in case you stop by. Your Eevee seems to trust you very much, so we expect to hear very good things about you. Good luck from all of us!
-Nurse Joy

"Well I'll be... Seems the Joys are more observant than I give them credit for." I murmured. "'Good luck from all of us'. Does she mean all of the Joys or just her and the Chanseys and Blisseys? Oh, well... Oh, look breakfast! Eggs, toast and sausage. Ick, Shinrai, you want the sausage?"

"Ooh, yum, sausage!" she said happily. As her chowed down on her three sausage links, I got ready to leave. As soon as I was ready and I had finished eating, we left the room. I looked at my Pokémon and noticed something different about her eyes.

Normally, an Eevee has brown eyes. Well this one's eyes were light purple. This sparked an idea.

"Hey, Shinrai, what do you want to evolve into? Or do you not want to evolve at all?" I asked her. (AN: I am not, I repeat NOT going to write it in Poké-speech. This is long. I will just write the translations from now on.)

"I don't really want to evolve, but if I had to, I'd want to be an Espeon. I came from a big litter of pups, and Mama had trouble with us all. A nice Espeon decided to help Mama out. She said a Trainer had named her but then let her go. Her name was... Hikari, I think. She was nice. I liked her. I wanna be just like her." Shinrai said.

"Hey, my favorite Pokemon is Espeon. Well, let's go up to the front desk. I need to see Nurse Joy." I said. I went to the desk to find a package and another note.

Megan- I'm sorry I couldn't give this to you in person. I had an emergency patient that I had to take care of. Do me a favor. If you ever come across a Trainer named Brock Slate, tell him that I said hi and that I might be able to get one of my cousins, maybe even the one in Pewter, to go out with him. Good luck to all of you.
-Nurse Joy P.S. I did a lookup on you and saw that today is your birthday. Consider this a gift from my whole family.

That's right. Today was September 4. I opened the package and gasped. Inside was the basic PokéGear: cellphone, map, radio, clock; five Pokéballs, along with a couple of Super Potions, a Hyper Potion, a Revive, and a few other medicines and such.

I was curious about who this 'emergency patient' was, so I went out to the lobby. When I saw who it was, my right eye started to twitch. Ash was in the room. I marched up to him.

"Okay, which one is it, when did it happen, where did it happen, and how?" I said. He looked... surprised to say the least.

"Um... Cyndaquil, earlier this morning, Digglet's Cave, a high-level Dugtrio that we ran into." He said uneasily.

"Ah, don't sweat it. That Cyndaquil is tough. He'll pull through. But you really need to choose your battles more carefully." I said. Shinrai, who had been sitting on my shoulder this whole time, jumped off and went over to talk to Pikachu.

"That Eevee seems to trust you. When did you get her? Yesterday?" Misty said. I nodded.

"Why do you think I named her 'trust'?" I said. Then I had a thought.

"Hey, Mist. Who was your starter?" I asked. I had a funny thought that it was—

"A Staryu. I have a Starmie now, but he's with my sisters. Hey, what are you going after next?"

"Whatever pops up that I want. Though I would love it if it happened to be an Abra or maybe a Caterpie." I said after a moment of thought. Misty shivered at the word 'Caterpie'. Misty hates Bug-types.

"I'm going to be the world's greatest Pokémon Master. What's your goal?" Ash said.

"I want to be the best Psychic Trainer. I WILL succeed my cousin back in Saffron. But, like they say, 'To be able to fly, you must first dream; for it is your dreams that give you wings.'"

"Wow. I'm gonna be the best Water Trainer." Misty said.

"Well, I have to get going. I wanted to get an early start and I still need to get supplies. Maybe I'll see ya around. I may run into Gary, ya never know. Oh, and Misty? Beware; I WILL come after the Cascade Badge. Do try to warn Violet, Daisy, and Lily."

"See ya. I'll try to come by Saffron to see you. I may have to take the Gym from my sisters, though. I will warn them that you'll come by." Misty said.

"Bye! C'mon, Shinrai."

I walked out and into the bright street. I had gotten my things and was now on the route to Pewter. Rumor has it that Brock took the gym again. He was always the toughest to beat. A clump of grass by my feet rustled. I stopped and waited. I held my breath. A second passed and nothing appeared. I brushed away the grass to reveal—

"A Metapod. COOL!!" I said. I pointed Dextra at it.

"Metapod, the cocoon Pokémon. The evolved form of Caterpie. This Pokemon can't move after it hardens until it hatches into a Butterfree at level 10. This one is female and currently at level 8."

Two more levels until it evolves! I selected an empty Pokéball (green, as it happened to be) and threw it at the Metapod.

"Pokeball, go!" I said. It hit the Bug and it was pulled in. The ball shook once... twice... three times... It stopped shaking and I heard the ding of the ball locking. I picked it up and grinned. Then I took out a washable Sharpie and wrote 'Metapod [girl]' on the Pokéball with the new bug in it. "In your face, Misty! I'm not scared of Bug-types! Booyah!"

"Misty hates Bugs?"

"Yep. C'mon, let's get to Pewter, at least."

"Kay!" We kept walking. I started to hum Lugia's song. I picked up Shinrai and put her on my shoulder.

"Can you hum a different song? That one creeps me out." She asked.

"Sure." I started to hum the Johto Journeys theme song. I sung it to her.

"It's a whole new world that we're livin' in, Pokémon Johto!

Do do do do do do, do do do do do do.

Everybody wants to be a master;

Everybody wants to show their skills!

Everybody wants to get there faster;

Make their way to the top of the hill!

Each time you try, gonna just a li'l bit betta;

Each step you climb is one more step up the ladda.

It's a whole new world that we're in, do do do do do;

It's a whole new way to see, do do do do do do.

It's a whole new place, with a brand new attitude;

But ya still gotta catch 'em all;

And be the that you can be; do do do do do do,

Pokémon Johto, do do do do do do;

It's a whole new world that we're livin' in,

But ya still gotta catch 'em all,

And be the best that you can be, do do do do do do,

Pokémon Johto, do do do do do do,

Pokémon Johto!"

"I like that one." Shinrai said.

"So do I. C'mon, you hungry?"

"Yep. What cha got?"

"Lunch." Shinrai giggled. We sat down and ate lunch. After that, we walked for a while. I had even tried to fish for some Pokémon, but nothing came. We ran into a Weedle and I managed to get Kaze (my Metapod) to evolve into a Butterfree. I washed 'Metapod' off of her Pokeball and used a permanent Sharpie to write 'Kaze' (kah-zay) on it. At sunset, we started to make camp. This whole time, I saw flashes and glimpses of blue here and there. (AN: I swear that this will turn into a good idea. You'd be amazed at what you can think of while trying to sleep.)

"So, you think we can be successful?" I asked Shinrai after camp was made.

"I think so. You seem to know what you are doing, so I trust you."

"And hence your name. Shinrai means trust."

"Get some sleep. I'll get Kaze to keep watch." I nodded and went to sleep. Some time later, I woke up to a few sounds. Whoosh, thump, rustle. Then Shinrai came into the tent and nudged me. That woke me up a bit more.

"Shin, you woke me up at—" I checked my watch. "—the ungodly time of two thirteen in the morning. I could still be sleeping. Where's Kaze? And why did you wake me up?"

"Kaze went to sleep a long time ago. She's in her Pokéball. And there are some reeeeeealy big and strong Pokémon who want to see you. And I mean STRONG. There's a big white bird-thingy, a blue dog-thingy, and a purpleish... thingy. One of them said his name is... Mewtwo?"

"A big white bird-thingy? And a blue dog-thingy?" I repeated. I thought of Lugia and Suicune, but those chances were pretty slim. Then Shinrai's words really sunk in. I stared at her. "MEWTWO?! AS IN THE UNSTOPPABLE, UN-BEATABLE, UNCATCHABLE MEWTWO?! THE SUPER-CLONE OF MEW?! THE MOST POWERFUL POKéMON IN THE WORLD AFTER MEW?! ONE OF THE PSYCHIC POKEMON GODS?!" I yelled.

Mewtwo's P.O.V

"MEWTWO?! AS IN THE UNSTOPPABLE, UN-BEATABLE, UNCATCHABLE MEWTWO?! THE SUPER-CLONE OF MEW?! THE MOST POWERFUL POKéMON IN THE WORLD AFTER MEW?! ONE OF THE PSYCHIC POKEMON GODS?!" was heard from the tent. I grinned. 'Apparently, this human girl had heard of me.' I thought.

Megan's P.O.V

I looked at Shinrai and opened the flap of my tent. I almost wet myself at the sight that greeted me. My eyes went about as wide as they could go. Mewtwo, Suicune, and Lugia were all situated around the camp. Even without my glasses, I could tell what they were and that they were here for a reason. Well, there went the 'slim chances'.

"Holy hell... Ok, this was worth being woken up at two in the morning. I am surrounded by Pokémon gods." I breathed. "Hello, new Master. We have come to tell you that we will always be watching and protecting you. We have seen that you have great potential. Suicune has been following you for the past couple of days. Oh, and I think there was an old woman in Johto who didn't hear you." Mewtwo said. I looked from him to the Legendary Dog of Ice in complete and utter awe. My eyes were wide still.

"So that was you! I thought that SOMETHING was following me."

"Yes, and I have seen that you will make a great trainer." she said.

"You know my song and the Legend. I sense that you will become strong and know that we will meet again." Lugia said. By this time I was trembling. What did this all mean?

"Since we may not always be there to protect you, I shall give you the power to sense when a life force approaches. That way, you won't need protection all the time." Mewtwo said. "You are now under our eyes. Be careful, young one. By the way, you're not so bad for a human. We will meet again during the next new moon. Oh, and we'll visit you when you become a Gym Leader." A blue glow surrounded me and I was suddenly much more aware of the living things around me.

"Wait. Don't you mean 'IF I become a Gym Leader'?"

"No, I mean WHEN. Goodbye." The Legendaries left.

"Wait... there are FIVE Psychic Pokémon gods, so two were missing. Mew and Celebi weren't there. Well, Celebi has to stay in the time stream, but where was Mew? Strange... My mind will be in overdrive for a long time. GOD I have a headache now."

"That purple one, Mewtwo, he is different than other Pokémon. Should we trust him?" Shinrai asked.

"Like Mewtwo himself once said: 'The circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant; it is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are.' I trust him."

"As long as you do..."

"Can I PLEASE get some sleep now? I need to get rid of my headache. If I sleep past nine or ten, don't wake me. At ten-thirty you can wake me up."

"Deal."

There. For my reviewers! -hands out Togepi plushies-
