A/N What happened to my readers? A had some people review the first chapter, but either no one read the second and third chapters or no one bothered to review. Could you please review if you read this? Wether you like it or not. I like to hear your opinions. :)

A few hours later Megan reached the end of the forest. She looked out at the small town in awe. She could see a white building with a big red sigh with the words 'Pokemon Center' on it. That was where she and Cyni needed to go.

"Cynda!" Cyni squealed in delight.

"Let's go!" Megan cried excitedly.

They both ran into the town, racing to the Pokemon Center. Megan got there first. She leaned against the door, panting. Cyni caught up with her and jumped back onto her shoulder. Megan straightened herself up and walked inside. She instantly went over to the front desk.

"Hello, I'm Nurse Joy," the nurse informed her. "How may I help you?"

"My name's Megan Stanza," the girl introduced herself. "I'm here for a checkup for my Pokemon and to register for the Johto League."

"Ok," Nurse Joy smiled warmly. "Please give me your Pokemon's pokeballs and your Pokemon I.D." Megan nodded firmly. She turned to Cyni and put him back in his pokeball. Then she took out her other two pokeballs and pokedex and handed them to Nurse Joy, who took them and turned around. A minute later she faced Megan again and gave her her pokedex back. "Ok, you're registered. You can wait for your Pokemon in the waiting room."

Megan strolled into the waiting room. She saw a boy about her age sitting in a chair reading a magazine. He had short, thick, black hair. She couldn't tell what color his eyes were because he was looking down at the magazine. He had on a red tee shirt and black jeans. Megan thought he looked kind of cute. She gasped when she realized what she was thinking and pushed the thought out of her head.

Megan strolled over to where the boy was and sat down next to him. "Hello, I'm Megan," she introduced with a big smile. The boy put down the magazine and turned to face her. She could tell now that his eyes were dark blue. He appeared to be glaring at her, and Megan could tell that he was mad about something.

"I'm Dallon," the boy finally responded. "But what's it to you?"

Megan frowned. "I was just trying to be friendly. Are you a beginner trainer too?"

"Yeah," Dallon answered coldly. He looked straight into her eyes, giving her shivers.

"Which starter Pokemon did you get? I got a Cyndaquil."

"I got a Bulbasaur."

Megan gasped. "But that's a starter for the Indigo region!"

Dallon nodded firmly, his eyes never leaving Megan's. "I started out in that region a couple weeks ago. I caught a few Pokemon there and raised their levels. Then I took a bus here."

"Oh," Megan nodded in understandment. "That's a good strategy." They were both silent for a while. Then Megan finally spoke. "Do you know where I can get some dinner and spend the night?"

"Yeah," Dallon replied simply.

Megan waited for him to say more, but he never did. She rolled her eyes and gave him an annoyed look. "Well, could you tell me then!"

"You can get them both here at the Pokemon Center," Dallon finally answered.

"Oh, cool!" Megan grinned. "Are you spending the night here?"

"Yeah." Although the look on his face told her he was thinking about changing his mind.

"Cool, I will too then." Megan smiled at Dallon happily. Dallon just grunted and looked away.

Megan's first impression of Dallon was that he wasn't very nice. But she knew better than to judge people like that. She had been taught not to judge someone until you know everything they've been through. For people aren't born mean. It's their past that shapes who they are. And most of the time it isn't their fault at all.

The sound of a door opening woke Megan from her thoughts. She glanced up to see Nurse Joy walking towards her and Dallon.

"You can come pick up your Pokemon now," she said to them both. Dallon and Megan quietly got up and followed Nurse Joy through the door.

It was dinnertime. There were seven bowls filled with Pokemon food on the floor. Megan let out Cyni, Orville, and Sophia. They all began to eat instantly. Megan looked over at Dallon and saw him let his Pokemon out. He had a Bulbasaur, Pichu, Squirtle, and Eevee. They too began to eat.

"Here's your food," Nurse Joy informed the two kids as she set down two bowls at a small table.

Megan and Dallon sat down and looked inside the bowls. They were filled with some kind of soup made up of noodles and beans. Megan twirled her soup around a little with her spoon before sticking some on her mouth. It was actually pretty good.

Meanwhile Bulbasaur and Sophia had found each other. They were both staring at each other grinning widely. Bulbasaur took out a piece of Pokemon food to share. They closed their eyes and smiled happily.

"Aw, look. They're in love," Megan sighed sweetly.

"Just what I need," Dallon snickered. "Romance is a waste of time."

Megan gave him a weird look and went back to eating. She figured it was best not to argue with him and explain all of the wonderful things about romance. The two of them sat in silence eating their food.

Suddenly Megan got a crazy idea. She turned to Dallon and spoke, "Say, Dallon, are you looking for someone to travel with?"

Dallon looked up at her with a blank expression on his face. "If you're suggesting we travel together, then no," Dallon replied and went back to eating.

Megan wasn't going to give up so easily. "Come on, it'll be fun."

Dallon looked up again with a face that said 'you're out of your mind'. "Somehow I find that hard to believe," he retorted sarcastically.

Megan smirked like she had just thought of a great idea. "Alright, Dallon, how about we settle this over a Pokemon battle tomorrow morning? If I win, you have to travel with me. If you win, I'll leave you alone forever."

Dallon didn't need a second to answer. "Ok," he replied immediately. "But I must warn you. I've had more experience than you, so I'll win."

"We'll see about that," Megan grinned to herself.

Then a thought hit her that hadn't occurred to her before. Why did she want to travel with Dallon? She knew he wasn't the type of person her mom would want her to live with. So why? Megan knew the answer instantly. Dallon had a rough attitude and personality. So he needed help changing into a better person. Megan's help. And Megan couldn't just leave someone in need of her help, could she? She knew she and Dallon met that night for a reason. It was definitely no coincidence.
