"Jay…Wake up…OW!" Reshkari Knight Jaina Solo shot up in bed. "ROBIN!"
Robin the Fletchling merely chirped happily.
Jaina rubbed her eyes. "I guess I must have been having that nightmare again." She sighed and got out of bed. She got dressed and went down stairs.
"Sorry Robin woke you, but I sensed you were having that dream again." Jaina's mother, Reshkari Master Leia Solo, said.
"I'm fine."
"I know it's hard, but you must let the past go. You don't have to forget Jay, but he would want you to move on"
Jaina sighed. "I know."
There was a knock at the door.
"That must be Knight Calem and his Padawan Shauna." Leia said.
Jaina opened the door to greet them.
"You must be Knight Solo." Calem said.
"Come on! Master Sycamore sent to other Knights to give us a Pokémon!" Shauna said.
She followed them to Aquacorde Town. There two other Knight were waiting.
"This Tierno and Trevor." Calem said.
"Hey!" Tierno said.
"Hi." Trevor said.
"We already have Pokémon. Master Sycamore gave us these to give to you three!" Trevor said.
"Ooo! I can't wait to get my first Pokémon! Are you excited?!" Shauna asked Jaina.
"Shauna!" Calem scolded. "Jaina already had a Pokémon, but it died. Please show some restraint."
"Oh. Right. I'm sorry…" Shauna sheepishly said.
"It's fine." Jaina said. She looked at the Pokémon and chose Chespin. She named him Genesis. Shauna picked Froakie and Calem chose Fennekin.
"Now that we have our Pokémon we should train them and catch more." Calem said.
"Good idea. The Kalos Region is in total chaos right now. We must be prepared for anything." Trevor said.
"We must work together to bring peace." Tierno said.
The group nodded and went to train. Jain thought about saying good-bye to her mom first, but knew that she would be fine. She did, after all, own the Legendary Dragon Reshiram. If she got into trouble her mom would know and be there in an instant.
She went to Route Two and caught a Pidgey. She named her Exodus. In the Santalune Forest she found a Pansear and named him Leviticus. On Route Three she got a Dunsparce and named her Numbers. When night fell she and her allies went to the Santalune Pokémon Center.
She got up early the next day to begin training her team. She used something called Super Training. It was a device her uncle and grandfather invented. It allowed Pokémon to train in certain stats. This would, theoretically, decrees the number of wild Pokemon hurt or killed.
As she trained Shauna came up to her.
"So why were just you chosen?" She asked.
"Jacen is studying to become a Pokémon Professor at Goldenrod University, and Anakin is in helping our uncle tech in Sinnoh." Jaina explained.
"What about your mom?"
"She's here. She's on stand-by." Jaina said.
"She wants you to have an adventure?"
Jaina looked at her. "Adventure? This is war. She wants me to gain experience."
"So an adventure!"
Jaina shook her head.
"Shauna." Calem said.
Shauna was startle.
"How many times do I have to tell you? This is not an adventure. This is war. People and Pokémon die."
Shauna's face drooped.
"How did you end up with her?" Jaina asked.
"No one else wanted her, and her parents can't use Aura." Calem said.
"You didn't have to take her. Especially since you look like a relatively new Knight."
Calem sighed. "Master Sycamore ordered me too. He doesn't want her running off and getting herself killed."
Jaina looked at Shauna. It looked like she might cry. "That sounded a little harsh."
"I had another master." Shauna said. "He trained me when I was young, but for some reason he abandoned me."
"He probably didn't want to deal with your annoying antics anymore." Calem said.
"Hey! Now that was harsh! She's your apprentice! You should be a little nicer to her." Jaina said.
Calem rolled his eyes. "Yeah. An apprentice I never asked for, or wanted."
"My grandfather took on an apprentice he didn't really want."
"Yeah. And looked how well that turned out. She only became one of the most feared Riazek assassins in history."
Jaina grabbed Calem by the neck. "You take that back!"
"HEY! We should play with our Pokémon!"
"SHUT UP SHAUNA!" Calm and Jain yelled.
Shauna shrank back. "It would help us get to know them better."
"I don't want to know my Pokémon better. I… I don't want to get too attached." Jaina felt a tear begin to fall.
"You should calm down though." Tierno said.
"Tierno's right." Trevor said.
Calem and Jaina took a deep breath. Jaina let Calem go.
"I'm going to the gym." Jaina said.
She walk to the gym. Once inside he found Viola, the gym leader.
"I'm here to claim this city for the Reshkari Order!" Jain declared.
"And I'm here to get stronger so I can find the Legendary Pokémon. Imagine the money I could make with the picture I could take of it?" Viola said. "You will help me get there!"
Jaina sent out Exodus. Viola sent out Surskit. Exodus went for Gust, but Surskit dodged and used Quick Attack. Exodus shook it off and went for another Gust. This one connected and Surskit was sent flying into the wall. It was squashed by the impact.
Vivillon was sent out. Exodus used Gust. Vivillon flew threw it with Tackle. Exodus shook off the hit. Jaina decided to switch to Leviticus. Leviticus dodged Vivillon's Tackle and burned it to ashes with Incinerate.
"My Pokemon…" Viola sighed. "Now I'll never get to find the Legendary Pokemon. Fine. Here's your badge."
Jaina accepted the Bug Badge.
"With it Santalune City falls under your control." Viola said.
"Thank you." Jaina looked at her team. A smile tugged at her lips. As she went back to the Pokémon Center she decided to accept Shauna's suggestion and play with her Pokémon. Just this one time. It was the least she could do.
