Shimoyuki: Hello! It's been quite a while since I've written a fanfic and I've decided to write a fanfic about pokemon. Actually I was planning that this fanfic would be a random creation of mines and not be related to anything. So after a few months of not being able to write a fanfic, here is my latest fanfic written by me.

Bang!

I heard somebody screaming for hope to live.

Her figure was so mysterious that I wasn't able to see her, nor figure out what happened.

But only I could figure out it was her because of her voice, her clear and panting voice saying, "Raine, take my dear pokemon….It is…inside…that building…"

I always heard her say that in my dreams, I couldn't figure out who it was. The voice was so familiar. That girl, she died in a tragic accident. I cannot figure out what it was, but I could feel the blood on her hand. She was touching me, this mysterious shadow that I cannot see. Her hand was so pale, yet the blood was spreading all over her hands. She kept touching me saying the same thing over and over again. I asked her with much curiosity, "What building? Please tell me!" The girl paused for a few seconds. After that she replied, "In there…" With the hand in which she was touching me, she pointed to something behind me. I was pretty sure that there wasn't anything behind me. But once I turned around I noticed a luminous light, a light shining so bright that I had to turn around.

Once I turned around, her shadow disappeared. I was surprised; possibly shocked to see she disappeared. "Maybe she fell…" I thought.

Raine was wearing her polka dot pajamas and maroon slippers. She walked out of her simplistic room out to the bathroom. While she was doing that, she saw her deceased mother's pokemon, a togepi. Raine squatted down and greeted togepi, "Hello togepi! How are you today?" Raine's voice sounded pretty to many people, especially that her voice seemed so mellow. Togepi replied energetically, "Togepii! Togepi!" Raine could tell immediately that Togepi was in a good mood, like her mother. Every time Raine saw Togepi, it always reminded her of her mother. Then the sounds of somebody walking through wood floors became louder. Raine stood up and noticed that the person that was walking was her twin brother Rhys.

Rhys was a bit taller than Raine and both had similar physical characteristics. Rhys had black hair and blue eyes like Raine. However Rhys was more of the nonchalant twin out of both of them. Rhys was wearing a black hooded jacket, loose blue jeans and was carrying a red messenger bag on his shoulder. He stared at Raine for a few seconds until Raine broke it by asking, "You're already ready Rhys? But that's crazy, our adventure doesn't start until eight!"

Rhys replied, "Well I was waiting for you so we can do a few errands before getting our first pokemon."

Raine noticed that Togepi tried to stay away from their conversation by walking away slowly. She said to her brother, "Errands? You never told me there was errands to do."

Rhys nodded and said, "Well go fix yourself up, I'll explain them once we start them." Rhys left their house and waited for Raine outside. Raine walked in the bathroom and dressed herself. Raine wore a pretty polka dot shirt with a lacy skirt, which matched well with her stylish shoes. After that she went inside the kitchen to eat. Once she went inside, she took a seat at a small wooden table. Her father, who was seemingly a tall man who had light red hair and gray eyes, was near the oven cooking food for Raine. Her father was almost done with the food so he got an empty plate and put the food in. The food that her father cooked was pancakes, which was Raine's favorite.

Raine asked her father, "Hey, dad. Did Rhys even eat? I mean waking up really early to do that and such…" Her father turned around, gave the plate to Raine and sat down in one of the chairs. He said, "Well you'll figure out eventually. But I'm pretty sure Rhys did eat. That's why he decided to wake me up at 5am!" Raine and her father were laughing and Raine ate her pancakes. After a few minutes, Raine was officially done eating and said, "Bye dad!" She ran towards the entrance of the house and exited out. When she exited out she noticed her brother, Rhys was still there.

Rhys started walking and Raine followed him. As they were walking together in Avalon Island, and island far away from Sinnoh, Hoenn, Johto, Orange Islands and Kanto, Rhys said, "Well one of the errands we have to do is visit mom's graveyard to say goodbye to her. Another errand is to go to the ship at the end of Nesselia port so we can go to the Orange Islands first. Once we get the four badges in the Orange Islands, you can decide where we should go next, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Johto or Kanto. Mother already gave us our pokemon a long time ago so we'll use those for now." Raine nodded as she was listening to Rhys's instructions.

As the twins were walking on Avalon Island, a quiet island that not many people lived, Raine got her purse and double-checked if she missed anything. Rhys stopped walking when his sister was looking through her purse. Raine said, "Looks like I got everything…" She looked up and noticed a huge ship, supposedly called S.S. Yuka and was awed by the view she saw. With the beautiful ocean blue seas, sunny weather and a huge cruise ship it made it look like a paradise. Raine replied with amazement, "Ah! Avalon Island makes everything look so pretty! I wonder how the other places in the other regions would be!"

Rhys kept walking, except instead of going to S.S. Yuka, he turned a sharp right that led to a cemetery. Rhys turned around and noticed his sister still looking at the ship. Rhys shouted to her, "Hurry up Raine!!! We need to visit mom first before we go there!" Raine saw that Rhys was far away from her so she ran towards him and Rhys continued to walk to the cemetery. Both of the twins were walking inside the cemetery quietly until they found their mother's graveyard. Once they did they meditated for a few minutes as if they were talking to their mother.

Rhys thought, "Mom, thank you very much for letting us have the chance of becoming pokemon trainers. I hope that you will be able to guide us through our journey and protect us no matter what." Raine, who was bending down tried to remember the memories they've had with their mother when they were kids. She also remembered the dream she's been having lately and hoping to find the truth about it. While they were in the graveyard, they saw a bunch of Duskulls walking around the area.

Once they were finished, both of them walked out of the graveyard peacefully and ran straight ahead to the S.S. Yuka. They wanted to be inside the ship early so they can start their adventure. While they were inside the ship, they went to the front desk.

When they went to the front desk, they saw two employees and a Teddiursa doing their jobs. The Teddiursa was standing on top of the desk behind the employees getting papers and keys for the employees. One of the employees had dark red hair with brown eyes and a curly hair. Raine whispered to Rhys as they were walking towards the front desk, "Hey, that guy seems very optimistic about his job! We should do that when we're older Rhys!" Rhys, who seemed unsatisfied about it replied, "No comment."

Later on, the other employee, who was a female with long straight hair that had blue highlights on her black hair, asked them with such energy, "Hello! Welcome to S.S. Yuka! Where we travel anywhere anytime! What can I do for you?" Raine immediately noticed her nametag that said "Isabel" and Rhys replied to Isabel, "Well we reserved a room a few months ago."

Isabel went to the nearest computer in the front desk area and asked, "What's your last name then?" Raine responded, "Oimikado." When Isabel heard the name, she typed in their name in the screen really quickly. Isabel saw one result and said, "Yes. We have a room for you Miss Oimikado and Mr. Oimikado. Your room is room 439…"

Before she can even continued, Teddiursa was already carrying the keys to their room and Isabel took it. Teddiursa went back to work and Isabel gave it to the twins their keys. She continued, "Have a nice time! Oh and right now we're having a festival right now to celebrate new trainers. So I hope you get a chance to go there, it's in the Oceania hall." Isabel gave them a map and opened it, with her black pen; she pointed the room to them. Raine saluted, "Thank you very much Isabel!"

Rhys took the keys and the map they had while Raine skipped through the hallways to go to the elevator. The ship inside was quite luxurious and picturesque. The theme of the ship was a bit of an ocean theme with a mix of exotic. As the twins were waiting for the elevator to open, a male teenager who had short brown hair passed by them and bumped into Raine. The teenager wore a red t-shirt with black jeans and was throwing a pokeball up and down. Due to the teenager's carelessness, he stopped and his pokeball fell down on the floor. Raine turned around and saw the clean pokeball on the floor.

She bend down and tried to get it, but the guy was able to get it first so Raine stood back up. Once she did, the elevator door opened and Rhys said, "Come on Raine!" Raine felt very strange once she stood back up and saw his face. She wasn't very sure if she was really scared about him or there was something peculiar about it. She knew it was very strange.

Raine dashed through the elevator and once the elevator door closed, Raine asked her brother, "Rhys…about that guy--"

Before she could even continue, Rhys interrupted, "You felt something strange about him?" Raine nodded and wasn't surprised that he knew about it since they were twins. Raine continued, "Yes, also I was wondering, do you think we will ever challenge him? Just by his physical looks, he looks like a trainer, possibly a challenging trainer."

Rhys responded, "Well he does seem like one. However we don't have strong pokemon yet. We still need to explore and become stronger. I mean all we have is the pokemon our mother gave us, which are Mudkip and Aipom. And we have to get them by today too, well our pokemon of course." Immediately after that, the elevator door opened again and it was the fourth floor, the floor where their room was.

The twins searched through the area hoping to find their room and they were able to find it successfully. Rhys, who was carrying their keys opened the door and went inside. Their room was very simplistic, but it had a great view of the sea. Rhys asked her sister, "What should we do now? I mean there's nothing much we can do. And the festival isn't today, it's tomorrow according to the calendar."

Raine answered, "We could browse around for a while and meet new people. Since the majority of the people in here are new trainers like us." Rhys agreed with Raine and dropped some of the extra items they had in their bags and got out of their room. Rhys locked the door and once he did, they noticed another person, apparently a teenager also getting out of their room. The person wore glasses, had bright red hair that coordinated with his blue-green eyes. The person was walking out not caring about the twins and went to the elevator.

Raine whispered to Rhys, "Hey, we should stalk that person!! I think he has a sneaky plan in mind!" She quickly ran to follow the person and saw the floor that he was planning to go. Raine tried remembering the floor, which was floor one. Rhys decided to follow his sister and mumbled, "Girls these days, stalking guys for no reason…at least I have no stalkers whatsoever." A few seconds later, the elevator opened again and the twins went inside the elevator. Raine pressed number one, hoping she would catch up with the person.

As the elevator went down, Raine started getting excited to see what might happen. When the elevator door opened, Raine ran out of the elevator and looked both sides of the area really quickly. She noticed that the person she was 'stalking' was going straight to the exit. As a result, Raine continued to follow the person due to her curiosity. During Raine's 'adventure', Rhys told Raine, "Hey, I'll go look around the area for a while. Meet me in our hotel room at 5pm." After that, Rhys went off in his own little adventure.

Raine continued to follow this mysterious person until she saw the guy talking to someone, supposedly a girl. Raine tried to hide herself, so she took a pair of sunglasses that she had in her purse, put it on and sat on a chair near them as if she was sunbathing. Although Raine was eavesdropping in the conversation, she pretended that she didn't hear anything. The mysterious person and the girl were sitting in a table near them talking.

The guy said to the girl, "Well Ariana, my research with the project isn't going very well. However if I only met a trainer that could help me, it might work. Anyways I have to go to Orange Island and talk to Professor Ivy. She might help me with my situation."

The girl whispered to the guy, "I think we've found a good trainer Niko. Look next to you."

Niko turned around slowly hoping it wasn't too obvious what they were talking about and Raine pretended to fall asleep thinking that they probably knew her in disguise. Niko looked at Ariana again and whispered, "You mean her? She doesn't even look like a trainer!"

Ariana replied, "Look at the purse, it's hanging her trainer card. And since she's a newbie, you can do further research."

Niko turned around yet again and instead of looking at Raine, he looked at the purse and noticed Raine's trainer card hanging like it was a tag. Niko, who was still unsure, said, "Well, I could.."

Ariana showing her bouncy side said, "There! You officially can do your project!" Ariana smiled as she was patting Niko's back really hard that it seemed more of a smack. While she was doing that, Niko started coughing because of the hard pat. Since Raine was observing it, she decided to remove the disguising and ran towards Niko while asking, "Hey, are you ok Nik—I mean mister."

Raine thought, "Darn! I was almost going to tell him his name like I was his stalker!"

Ariana soon stopped as she noticed the girl, who was supposedly asleep in the chair next to her. She replied, "I think Niko is fine. And don't worry about being all formal, I already knew from the start that you were eavesdropping in our conversation." Niko was surprised in what Ariana said. Niko said loudly, "Eavesdropping?! You mean—"

Raine interrupted him and replied, "Yes…I was eavesdropping in your conversation. I am very sorry about that. It's just when you came out Mister Niko I thought you were some sort of a member of an evil villain like the ones in the TV shows."

Niko soon calmed down and asked, "Ah. Wait, does that mean you know what we were planning to ask you?" Raine was a bit confused, "You were planning to ask me something?"

Ariana smiled, "Yes, we were going to ask you if you can help us, well more of Niko's project and we were looking for a trainer to do it. And it looks like from your trainer card that you're a trainer." At first Raine wondered how they knew that she was a trainer until she saw her trainer card hanging out of her purse.

She asked, "Ah. What kind of a project is it exactly?"

"Well since I'm a professor in training, my big project that I have to do is record the habitants of pokemon, mainly a recent pokemon owned by a trainer and how their bonding changes. Actually there's a school for that, it's in Millsweet Island. That's where the famous professors, Professor Oak, Professor Ivy and the rest graduated," explained Niko.

Raine saw that the way Niko said it looked like he was very passionate about it, which is one characteristic she liked about people. Niko continued, "So yeah. That's a brief summary of my project."

Raine nodded and replied; "Hm…I guess I'll help ya on that! Except you'll have to meet my brother to confirm it. But for me, I'll accept it." Raine walked away because she wanted to find her brother, Rhys. However, Niko noticed she was leaving and shouted, "Hey!" He ran to catch up with her, but he accidentally touched her arm.

As soon as she turned around she noticed that Niko was holding her arm. She thought, "Wow..." She blushed lightly and said, "Uh.." Before she could even continue, Niko interrupted, "That reminds me, what is your name? And I might as well follow you because I might never get to see---I mean find you again."

Raine replied, "Raine. Raine Oimikado. Well um..sure. As long as you don't do anything uncanny, then we're good." Niko nodded and Raine walked while Niko was right behind her.

Ariana however decided to stay there mumbling to herself, "This is going to be one interesting project for you…my friend."

Meanwhile, as Rhys was walking around the area, he saw many buildings. From shopping malls to restrooms to bars to elevators, Rhys thought that it was probably the greatest place to live in. A man, probably around his twenties was walking towards him. He had blonde hair with green eyes. The man was intrigued with Rhys, however Rhys was a bit curious as to why he was intrigued.

Rhys stopped and the man continued to walk, however he walked around him as if he was examining Rhys. Rhys started getting a bit nervous seeing this man in front of him examining him. So he asked the man, "What do you want?"

Shimoyuki: Yay! The end of chapter one! I was actually excited in doing this that I had a plan on how to start this off, now I just hope I can end it really well. Anyway please review!
