I'm introducing a O.C in this chapter. His name was flame, but I've already got a character that I made called that, so Its going to be Flare, in less BrokenDreamer529 gives me another name, then I'll edit this chapter.

I opened my eyes. Today I was planning to sneak out and explore the little 'neighborhood'. (Basically all the Pokemon families in the area and the forest made a united community, which helped protect the young Pokemon.)

We live in the largest cave, Dudda being the leader. At the back of the cave was one large bundle-of-grass, my parents bed. My bundle is next to Mumma's side, so she can always reach me. My brother's beds are along the wall, one on each side of the cave.

There's a big shelf going along the wall, that has various roots, cavings (Shield's hobby, the are really quite good.), spare bundle's and and a basket of TM's, which we can earn by doing things for Dudda and Mumma. There's also a HUGE basket underneath the shelf FILLED with berry's, of which we can help ourselves. There's a bunch of Pokemon skins and meat on a smaller shelf on the opposite wall. There's also a huge hole in the middle of the floor, which Mumma fills with hot stones and fills it with water, then cooks are meals.

"Breakfast!" Mumma calls from the front of the cave. I cheerfully skip over to Breakfast, my brothers coming in from outside, Dudda having had to go solve a conflict between a Eevee and a Ratatta. "Hi Mummy!" I pipe cheerfully. Mumma eyes twinkle cheerfully at me. "Good morning sweetie. Do you want some crushed berry and milk or toasted berry for breakfast?" "Crushed berry and milk please!" "What flavor?"

"Oran!"

"Here honey." Mumma pushes a small clay pot, filled with milk, across the small mat, that father managed to steal from a trainer. I sprinkle bits of flaked berry into the pot, and start to sip my breakfast. Shield comes in. "Toasted Cheri please!" "I'll have.... toasted Chesto!" Storm rushed in, and screamed at Mumma.

"Sure shield. Manners Storm!"

"Please could I have toasted Chesto Berry Mumma."

"That's better Storm." She handed the twins their breakfast and served herself. After breakfast my brothers ran out again, and Mumma got ready to go collect some berry's for my birthday celebration, which was in two weeks.

"Now stay in the cave darling. Mumma will be back at tea time. Help yourself to the berry's for lunch." "Yes Mummy!"

"And no talking to strangers if they come round."

"Yes Mummy"

"And be careful."

"Yes mummy."

"and using the boiling water is....?"

"Yes Mummy"

"What?!"

"Not allowed Mummy!"

"Bye sweety" She kissed me on my cheek before walking away.

I waited two minutes before running outside. I walked through the forest, eating wild berry's. I came across various Pokemon, who I cheerfully greeted.

When I got to the more dangerous bit of the forest, a spiky thing slammed into me. "! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE LEADER'S DAUGHTER!!!!!!"

I'm quite well known as 'LEADER'S DAUGHTER!!" Seriously. Plenty of Pokemon have yelled that title and other words at me as I scramble out of there house with there Leppa berries. I LOVE Leppa berries.

"WHY ARE WE RUNNING?" I shout at flickering hedge-hog thing, as I run beside it.

You can tell I'm enjoying this.

He doesn't stop until we're a little bit away from the dangerous part of the forest. "A Raticate was trying to EAT ME!!"

"So what?" I frown at him. My tails wag. "Its an ADVENTURE!!!" "Wow, being the leader's daughter is so horrible you want to get eaten?"

"Idiot" I hit him. "Ow!" He jumps away from me, stepping into a sharp ray of light, the rest of the clearing being dimly lit. I can see what he looks like.

He is what looks like a hedgehog with a longish snout, standing on his hind legs. His slinky fur is cream, with blue navyish fur going in a sort of stripe from snout to his back. A huge flame covers his back, shaped like a whole bunch of spikes.

"U-u-umm... I'm Flare, and you're... Wira.. Week.... W-w-w wim?" "Wisp!" I snap at the Cyndaquil, hitting him again.

You can tell we're going to be best friends.

"WHAT'S THAT??!!!" He shrieks into my ear. "AHH!!! BLOODY HELL!!! WHATEVER IT IS, I THINK YOU SCARED IT AND MY HEARING AWAY!!!" "Sorry." He blushes. "But I didn't scare it away!" He says. I think he was trying to distract me from hitting him again.

"FREAKY!!!" I scream.

In a bush is two glowing blue eyes, looking very very evil.
