Summary: This is a story about a girl from our world dying and being given the choice to be reborn in the world of Pokémon to help protect it. Despite not knowing why they need her in the first place she accepts. But nothing is as it seems for this world does not seem to follow the story she knew to a T.

Warning: I obviously do not own Pokémon, just some of the OC characters that will be popping up and any background story that I make up for already existing characters.

Second Warning: Ooc warning! Characters may act out of character due to them being older as well as other things that I can't think of while typing this.

Notes: My story will be based off of the Anime and will follow the plot at some points, but will have aspects of the game as well. It will have romance but it will more then likely be on the cutesy side. Also this story will have original episodes, OC's and background stories for characters who previously did not have one. I will also be changing the characters ages some, I mean really it would be awkward to have a bunch of 10 year olds doing more then holding hands and blushing at random moments.

Lyrica- 13

Ash- 13

Gary- 13

Misty- 14 (You know I couldn't find a definite answer about how old she was in the show, but I always assumed she was a year older.)

Brock- 18

(3rd Person POV)

Lyrica had been walking a good three hours before stopping to take a lunch break under a large tree that sat near a clear blue river that flowed freely due to the nearby waterfall.

So far she had not encountered any wild Pokémon that were willing to battle. They all ran at the sight of Lyrica and Hikari whenever they were spotted due to the fact that route one was a well frequented area for trainers to walk through.

The Pokémon around here may be wild, but they weren't stupid.

Lyrica sighed in relief when she took her backpack off of her shoulders and sat down in the shade of the giant oak tree.

"Ah finally, we've been walking for hours. I'm starving!" She exclaimed and pulled out a few rice balls from her lunch box she had kept safe in her bag.

"Vee!" Hikari exclaimed and ran to the river to get a drink.

"Hm, well it probably wouldn't hurt to review what is suppose to happen today." Lyrica mumbled to herself while digging through her backpack with one hand and munching on her rice ball with the other.

"Ahah, here it is!" She exclaimed triumphantly when she grabbed a journal out of her bag and opened it, flipping the first couple pages to get to the one she wanted to review.

It wasn't just any journal though, it was THE journal. The one where she wrote her memories of everything she remembered about the Pokémon universe she had learned about in her past life.

When Lyrica was about three or four, she had realized those important memories were starting to fade. Everything from her old family and friends to her favorite song lyrics were all starting to lose their sharp clarity inside her mind. Terrified she had written down as much as she could in different journals to preserve these memories.

From then on she had always kept the Pokémon memory journal close to her, knowing that the information in it could be helpful in the future as well as chaotic in the wrong hands. The others, while important to her, she kept in a secret location at her house since she knew she could just tell others they were just stories if they were ever found.

Episode One: Ash wakes up late for first day of his journey and runs to Professor Oak's lab to get his first Pokémon. When he gets there he pushes his way past a crowd of people and has a confrontation with Gary Oak who is a jerk to him and for some reason has a car and cheerleaders. After that he gets his first Pokémon, a Pikachu, after finding out all other choices are already taken. Pikachu ends up being an ass so Ash tries to catch a Pokémon on his own which backfires and leads to Ash and Pikachu being chased by a flock of Spearow. He meets Misty somehow but I sadly don't remember how, steals her bike, and tries to get away from the Spearow but fails. Pikachu saves the day but injures both of them so they end up waking up the next day and seeing Ho-Oh. In the end they make it to Viridian City. Warnings: Don't be an idiot and provoke Pikachu or any Spearow if you encounter them.

Pokémon Game Red/Blue: Red gets his Pokémon, Kicks Gary's/Blue's butt and heads to Viridian. Lazy people make Red do their job and sends him back to Pallet with a package for Professor Oak but he gets a Pokedex in return. Maybe it was after this and not before that he beats Gary/Blue in their first battle? Not sure. Then he heads back to Viridian. Also at some point he gets running shoes. Warnings: Lazy people and idiots run around freely.

Lyrica sighed at the information she had just read. It was nothing new really, she had a habit of reading her journals all the time. 'Maybe if I just-' "Hey Hikari that was mine!" Lyrica shouted in mid thought when she noticed Hikari sitting next to her with a stolen rice ball in her grasp already practically devoured.

Hikari looked up from the food she was munching on, a few stray pieces of rice were stuck to her face.

"Veeeeee!" She mocked and stuck her tongue out at her trainer before finishing off the last few bites. *Yawn*

"What! But, but, ugh!" Lyrica stuttered out at what she was seeing and humphed while crossing her arms.

"Well fine... I'll save YOUR lunch for your dinner then. Your lucky I love you." She huffed out and started to pack everything away.

Feeling full after her meal Hikari decided it was time for a nap and proceeded to curl up on the ground where she had been sitting and closed her eyes.

'Little brat, I suppose I don't blame her though. Mom's rice balls are the best.' Lyrica grinned at the thought of her moms cooking while putting everything she had gotten out back into her bag. Lyrica turned back to Hikari to continue her ranting only to find that her friend had fallen asleep.

'Mmm, it's been a long day already and it's barely past noon. Hikari looks so cute when she sleeps, I suppose a little nap won't set me to far back from the others, right? Yeah just ten minutes won't hurt.' She thought while feeling her eyes droop. Next thing she knew she was quickly heading to dream land.

(1st Person POV- Lyrica)

"Ugh, sunlight." I murmured out loud subconsciously, my eyes slowly drifted open in a half dazed manner due to having the sun shining directly in my eyes.

*Yawn* I felt myself smack my lips together in a slightly sloppy manner while I started to stretch my arms and legs. Attempting to roll over away from the sunlight to fall back asleep, I ended up falling on my face. The tree that had supported my back was no longer there to keep me in an upright position.

'Wait tree?' I sat up quickly and rubbed my eyes, getting the yucky gunk out that had collected there over time. Looking around I realized I was in the forest sleeping on my first day of my journey.

"Oh your awake!" A girl called out from the nearby ridge. She had vibrant orange hair that was put up in a cute short pony tail on the left side of her head and wore a simple yellow crop top along with regular jean shorts, red suspenders and matching red shoes. In her hand was a black fishing pole, and a red bag sat beside her. Behind her on a higher ridge sat an orange bike with a basket on the front.

"I hope you don't mind that I'm fishing here, this spot was just too perfect to pass up. My name is- Oh hey I got a bite! I think this could really be a big one!" The girl interrupted herself mid sentence in her excitement when the line suddenly snagged. She started to reel in her catch with vigor that easily displayed how strong the petite girl was. Pulling as hard as she could she hauled the catch onto the open area below the ridge she stood on, but it wasn't just a Pokémon there was also a human boy.

"Oh my god Ash!" I cried out in terror at the sight, quickly scrambling to get up when I saw the unmistakable clothes the boy wore.

"Eee!" Hikari shouted and shot up like a bullet, startled by the sudden shout of fear her companion let out. The Eevee stood in a defensive but alert manner, her fur standing on end to make her look a little bigger and her little fangs bared. She quickly looked at the surrounding area around her for enemies, but realized they weren't under attack when her trainer scrambled toward the soaking wet boy she had seen Lyrica talk to earlier.

"And a Pokémon!" Misty shouted in equal surprise and jumped down from her ledge to the two passed out on the rivers edge.

I ran over as fast as I could and fell to the ground on my knees next to him when I came to a sudden stop. The girl who I am now sure is Misty was currently checking over Ash's Pikachu for injuries. Hikari came running up to me just then with my bag in her mouth and placed it next to me with a plop.

"Thank you Hikari, Ash are you ok?" I asked worriedly and started to pull a pink towel out of my bag for him to dry off with.

"Yeah I'm ok." He said with a grateful smile and took the towel Lyrica handed him.

"Look what you've done to this poor little thing, your lucky it's breathing!" Misty shouted at Ash while holding Pikachu in her arms.

"Now is not the time for yelling at him, we don't even know what happened." I spat back at her harshly with a glare.

Misty looked away with guilt written on her face at the words, knowing the purple haired girl next to her was right.

"She's right I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions like that. I'm sorry for yelling at you." Misty said to Ash with a sad but apologetic smile before it quickly turned back into a frown. "But we really need to get this poor thing to a Pokémon Center to see the nurse. There's one not to far from here, we need to get moving now."

Ash frowned at what Misty said and quickly took his Pikachu out of her arms.

"Hey!" Misty exclaimed in surprise.

"Thank you for your help but you can't come with me or you might get hurt too. I'll make sure Pikachu gets to the Pokémon Center safely, it's in Viridian City right?" He asked with a determined look on his face.

"That's right but Ash what do you mean it's not safe?" I asked with an uneasy feeling settling in my stomach. 'I know I'm forgetting something.'

"Well you see there's these-"

"SPEAROW!"

A call that many trainers around the world feared rung out in the air around the trio.

"Oh yeah..." I murmured out quietly while looking at the flock heading straight towards us with fear.

'Forgot about those.'

"V-vee." Hikari whimpered out and started to paw at her Pokeball that was currently in my Pokeball holder on my right side.

I silently took my Pokeball out and returned Hikari to her ball, I didn't want her to be out if they ended up attacking. We may have trained some and may have more experience then most beginning trainers but taking on that many Spearow at once would be suicide.

By the time this was done I looked up just in time to see Ash take off on Misty's bike.

"He-hey that's my bike!" Misty cried out to the boy who was already peddling away while the Spearow were hot on his tail.

"I'll give it back someday!" Ash shouted to her over his shoulder and continued onward till he disappeared from our sights.

"Oh you!" She huffed out and put her hands on her hips while staring at the spot with narrowed eyes.

Grabbing my bag I put both straps on and walked over to Misty who still hadn't moved from her spot, still glaring straight ahead with a glassy look in her eyes that suggested she was day dreaming.

"Um, miss?" I asked politely, not wanting to hint at the fact that I already knew her name.

"He's going to pay!" She roared and quickly ran to get her belongings, shoving them in her red bag at break neck speeds. In those few seconds I swore I saw fire appear in her eyes, it was both fascinating and creepy at the same time.

Once she finished she jogged back over to me and looked at me with the same burning eyes she just showed.

"Are you going to Viridian City too?" Misty asked.

"Yeah I was hoping to make it there before sundown but I don't think that's going to happen now..." I said a bit nervously.

"Alright we can go together, I'll teach that little punk for stealing my bike." Misty said and grabbed my hand, forcing me to start running beside her in a fruitless effort to catch up with Ash.

"W-wait do you even know where to go? Also who the heck are you?" I asked and forced her to slow down to a walk since we had already gotten back onto the main path.

"Don't worry I know where to go and I'm sorry I thought I told you my name, it's Misty what's yours?" She said while still pulling me along by my hand.

Quickly finding the hand holding to be awkward I pulled my hand back but continued to walk beside her at a brisk pace to match her own speed.

"Mine is Lyrica, but what do you plan to do once you find him?"

"Well I can't exactly blame him for taking my bike in that situation. I'm more angry that he ran off with it without asking. He could have at least told me to meet him at the Pokémon Center." Misty replied with a pout on her face.

'She is way to trusting.' I mentally sweat dropped. 'She's lucky it's just Ash.'

"I'll teach him some manners for taking my bike like that!" She exclaimed while shaking her fist at the air.

'To bad she'll never get it back, but I should make sure she gets to Viridian okay. Besides if we end up sleeping out here tonight at least I'll have company.'

"Ok I'll help you get your bike back, I wanted to make sure he was okay anyways." I offered up with a grin.

"Thanks for helping me, now I know he won't get away with this!" She exclaimed with joy and grabbed my hand again, forcing me to start running beside her.

"Can't we just walk?" I whined out.

"No time, let's go!" Misty shouted with enthusiasm and continued onward, dragging her new companion along with her for the ride.

Author's Notes/Me babbling: Well that's it for episode 1. It took a lot longer then I expected it to but well the hype of Thanksgiving and Christmas kind of distracted me. I hope I did a decent job of portraying Misty, she's not necessarily difficult but I do want her to act a bit more mature then she does in the show. Also the terrible writing in her journal was of course intentional. Writing is not her specialty. Anyways tune in next time for the next episode!

P.S. This is done without a beta so if you find any mistakes let me know!
