First Pokemon Fic EVER! So please be nice!

The rain fell faster, making big splashes when they hit the pavement and making anyone underneath them wet. Some people listened to the weather forecast and had brought an umbrella or wore a rain coat. Others put anything they could find, over their head.

I, myself were one of those people who listened to the forecast and had brought a raincoat with me. Randi on the other hand, was getting soaking wet but he didn't seem to mind and was happy that I was safe and warm. He was my Mightyena and my first friend. He has been with me since he was a Poochyena and I was five. I wanted to pet him but his wet fur would get all over my hands and it would smell like wet dog, so I didn't.

The sound that the rain calmed me and I closed my eyes to listen to its wonderful melody.

"Ashley!" a boy yelled from behind me. His voice took me out of my trance and I turned around to face him, Randi doing the same. My name is Ashley, almost identical to my twin brothers whom I haven't seen in seven years because of my parents break-up. Even though my bangs covered my eyes I could still see a boy running toward me with an umbrella in his right hand. I recognized his face and smiled when he caught up to me.

He was my only friend that had ocean blue hair and eyes. He was my best friend. I've never met anyone with the same wonderful personality as him or the same twinkle in his eyes.

"Hey Kaden"

Randi barked happily as he too recognized Kaden. Kaden petted Randi then regretted it when black fur was all over his palm. He wiped his furry hand on his pants before saying, "I'm glad I found you. I came to say that I'm sorry about your dad"

My eyes dulled at the sudden memory. My Father was a police officer, one of the best his friends would say. He was on the job almost everyday, protecting people and pokemon for harm. Two days ago, a Pokemon Center had been robbed and one of the Nurses were being held hostage. My Father and his Growlithe went inside with some of his teammates and then, out of no where, there was a shoot out.

No one came out alive, not even my fathers Growlithe and all the other officers Pokemon. When I heard the news my happy spirit disappeared and darkness fell over my heart. The twinkle in my eyes was gone and my brown eyes now had a mix of grey. It is rare to see me in a happy mood; only Randi and Kaden see me when I'm happy.

"Thanks" I replied dryly. Kaden seemed offended by my tone. I didn't mean to be so mean; I just don't like to talk about my Father and the horrible night very much. Kaden understood that when he smiled, making me grin. "Is there any thing I can do?"

I frowned, "You have done so much already, given me food, shelter," I started to count off his good deeds on my fingers. After my father had died I had no one else to go too and so I was considered an orphan. If it wasn't for Kaden's family, Randi and I would still be on the streets, "What more could you do?"

He smiled, "Most of those ideas were my mums. She's as worried as I am about you"

I grinned and looked at the wet pavement when I felt my cheeks heat up. My pitiful attempts to hide my blush failed, when Kaden smiled. A still silence crept up on us and only the rain hitting Kaden's umbrella was heard.

The silence stopped when Randi groaned uncomfortably. His fur was so wet; it looked like it couldn't soak up anymore water and then he shook, making water go all over me and Kaden's legs. We both shouted in surprise and glared at him only getting a playful grin in response.

"I think he makes a good point, I feel like a puddle" I joked shaking my arms in the same way Randi did. Kaden chuckled, "Let's go inside then"

I nodded and we fallowed Kaden to his home, happy that we would finally be out of the rain.

After we finished dinner and everyone was asleep, I crawled outside and sat on the hill underneath the starlit sky. I now lived with Kaden and his family, sleeping in his brother's bedroom. His brother was now in collage and his room was free for me to sleep in.

Personally, I'd rather sleep in their garage then sleep in the same room with a boy. Not that I have a grudge against them, I just don't feel comfortable sleeping in the same room with one.

The rain had stopped a few hours ago and the ground was almost dried so it was safe to sit down. A restless wind blew my black hair to one side, showing my eyes to the world for the first time in a long time. My right eye had a silver, blue wing marking on it which was the reason why I never showed my eyes. I'm too afraid that people will be afraid of me.

I had gotten the mark when I was on a Pokemon expedition with my father, before he became a cop. We were exploring a cave in the Johto region and I explored the cave without my father…

Flash Back

A girl at the age of five, walked into a dark cavern with a blue light eliminating inside. She was pretty brave for a girl her age, probably getting it from her father's side but she was curious of the blue light. Her father was exploring this cave and she had to come along.

The cave looked like one she would see in the movies when people would enter bat caves. They had stalactites hanging from the ceiling of the cavern with water falling from the tip. They looked like razor sharp teeth and the girl shivered at the thought of one of them falling onto her.

As she walked deeper into the cavern the blue light started to get brighter and soon she had to cover her eyes because it was so bright. Most people would turn around and leave but she didn't want too. She was so close to finding out what was causing that light.

Just then the light seemed to dull and she was finally able to take her arm away from her eyes and what she saw made her mouth widen. A white rock with a blue lightning bolt in its center was sitting on a rocky platform, glowing blue.

To tell you the truth she was pretty disappointed. She thought it might have been a beautiful crystal that would cost millions of dollars if she brought it back home. She kneeled in front of it, getting a better view of the strange rock.

"Doesn't look all that great" she muttered. She knew she was lying, I mean how many times do you see a glowing rock? Not to mention a white rock making a blue light.

"Ashley," her father called "C'mon hun. We got to get going"

She got up and was ready to leave when she froze. A strange feeling came over her and she turned around, looking at the rock once more. What was happening to her? Was it the rock? Her hands slowly went toward the rock even though she tried to pull them back.

"Ashley" her father called again this time a hint of worry in his voice.

She wanted to go to him, but her body wouldn't listen to her. Her hands were inches away from the rock and she could feel its power going into her fingers. When her hands grasped the rock her hands started to burn making her hiss in pain. The rock glowed brighter then she could have never imagined.

Though she tried to scream she couldn't. She could feel the power go from the rock to her and also feel the skin around her eye move around. When the power was sucked dry from the rock its hold on her disappeared and both of them fell to the ground.

Her father ran to her side and gasped when his daughter's right eye had a silvery, blue wing marking. He picked her up in a bridal stride back to their house. The once glowing rock now looked like a regular grey one and it now lay on the floor forgotten.

End Flash Back

I felt a tear fall down my face when I remembered my father. It would take me long to get over his passing but with my friends by my side, I knew it wont be too long. I always say to myself; even though he's gone, his memory will still live on inside of my heart.

I felt a warm liquid on my hand and noticed that I was crying. I wiped them away with my sleeve but it did nothing when another stream of tears fell down my cheeks.

I tensed when I heard footsteps. I calmed down when Randi lay beside me, cocking his head as if too say, 'Why aren't you inside'

I smiled and pet his head, getting a low growl from him. After he was satisfied with the petting that I gave him he laid his head on my lap and started to fall asleep again. I continued to pet him as I looked up into the starry sky, remembering my father.
