The first thing I saw upon waking were large, amber eyes on a tanned face. I squeaked while my own, dark eyes widened, "Sorry!" A familiar voice said as the eyes moved away. I was in a bed again in clean sleeping clothes. The dark haired boy from before was sitting at my bedside, his yellow rodent sitting on his lap whilst he stroked its head.

"Nurse Joy was really worried when you suddenly passed out. So I asked if I could stay until you woke to thank you. If you hadn't come with Chansey when you did, I don't think Nurse Joy would of had the courage to stand up to those guys. Oh! My name is Ash! This is my partner Pikachu."

The creature, Pikachu, chirped happily. I sat up slowly, very aware of how sore I felt, "Thanks but it was only coincidence I was here." I said, staring down at my lap, "Though I am glad I was there, even if I didn't do much to help."

I smiled at the kid, "Well, its all in the past now. Nurse Joy asked that I take you to her when you wake up, that is if you can walk. She needs help setting up your new ID card." I blinked for a moment before nodding.

"I think I can. I only feel a bit sore right now."

Ash nodded, "Well, I'm staying here for a few days if you need help with anything. I've decided to train Pikachu a bit before going any further."

"That's a good idea." I muttered as I got out of the bed, shivering as my bare feet touched the cold tile floor, "Its smarter to train and get stronger, maybe catch new pokémon, before you go ahead on your journey. At least, that's what I know," my mind raced as I decided to come up with a small lie, "I really have no experiance dealing with pokemon. Only knowledge. My parents hated pokémon and refused to let me travel so I ran away."

I walked towards the door as Ash stood and followed me, "I couldn't take it anymore. I want to travel to new places and learn all there is to know. I don't want to be cooped up forever, stuck with only what my books and parents tell me. I'd rather travel and grow old alone over being married off when I'm old enough. What's the point of life if you can't have just one day to yourself?" I was starting to get a bit nervous. My little lie was getting bigger, "I'm only here because I snitched some money from my mother's purse and caught a plane here. Since I had no pokémon, I had no defense when I got into trouble."

Ash looked deep in thought, "S-sorry! I didn't mean to ramble!" He looked up at me and grinned as he stopped and opened a door.

"Its no problem." He said, still grinning widely, "Nurse Joy should be in here."

I nodded, feeling nervous about my lie. He seemed to believe it. In the room, Joy sat at a desk on a large computer hooked to a strange looking machine. She turned her head to us and smiled as the rodent from last night jumped from her lap and hopped up to rest on my right shoulder. I stumbled a bit, unused to the sudden weight.

"Hello there! I just need you to fill out a few parts. I have your height and weight with your hair and eye colors and gender, but I need your name and age. Since that little Rattata seems to have grown attached to you, I'm issuing him as your starter so you'll have some protection when you start traveling again."

I nodded, my hands settling crossed at my waist, "C-Callarose... My name is Callarose Lyn and I'm eighteen." Nurse Joy nodded as I spelled out my name. Well, it wasn't really my name, but she didn't need to know that. As long as I was here, I may as well go under a different name.

"Okay, everything is in order." Joy said as she pressed a button and there was a loud, whirring sound before the machine spat out a small card, "Here miss Lyn. This is your new card. Keep it on you at all times." I nodded and took it. There wasn't a photo on it but the back had a black bar across it, likely so it could be scanned, "Since I have your ID number in my computer still, I'm going to assign Rattata to your name. It won't take long at all. If you go back to your room, I'll bring his pokéball to you along with some fresh clothes and supplies. You had nothing on you when you arrived so I asked Jenny if she could get some things for when you travel again."

I nodded again and left the room with Ash, wondering why Joy was being so kind. She had no reason to but maybe that's just who she was.

A few hours later, I was in the main room wearing a simple blue shirt and jean shorts with plain tennis shoes. The bandages I wore stretched down to my ankle on one leg and my knee on my other while the bandages that could be seen on my arms went down to my elbows. I had the rattata's ball, Squeaky as I'd started calling him, clipped to my waist. It was odd but there were several areas on the waist of my shorts where the ball could've been clipped, not that I minded. I currently had my card in a small pocket inside the bag Joy had given me with everything inside.

Upon being asked when I could travel again, Joy had said in about a week. By then my bruise would be almost completely gone and my cuts and scrapes will have healed enough that falling wouldn't open them or make them worse. For now, I was only allowed outside if Squeaky was with me, just in case I ran into trouble, though it was highly unlikely I would.

I could only hope I'd be able to find out what happened in the first place. Last thing I remembered was leaving home with the intention of walking along my usual route and then everything is gone.
