Kyra grew up as a daughter to a researcher. Throughout her days she works in a lab in New Bark Town hoping that one day she will be able to go out and explore the world. But her father Professor Elm insists that she was to stay at the lab and live a life full of knowlege and safety. But upon meeting a boy named Ethan she sets out on an adventure full of friendship and trust.

I was a researcher, nothing more. I wasn't one of those daring adventurers who traveled the regions battling gym leaders. No, I was one of those people who provided research for the greater good of pokémon. Being the daughter of a professor I was bound since birth to the countless days of researching the various types of pokémon.

It had all started when I was eight and my father, Professor Elm, and some of his associates were contemplating a way to make it easier to view the stats of pokémon. After a long day of research my father had come back up stairs to the house. There I showed him my idea of a hand-held device that would list the pokémon stats upon seeing them in which it automatically records the data. Since then I have been doomed to siting at a desk researching countless pokémon and compiling the data for the device which had been dubbed the pokédex. That's what I was doing now.

I sat downstairs at my brown wooden desk with an enormous stack of papers piled to the side. In front of me I had my laptop connected with the pokédex system so I could store the information on the papers into the system. Throughout the lab machines clicked and whirled in a constant rhythm as some of my father's associates hacked away on them. I took a paper that had a picture of a pokémon and its stats from the stack that read, METANG. Quickly I entered the pin of the pokémon and all of its other traits. Once I was done I moved on to the next one, and then the next one, and the next. This continued on for a few hours until the door to the lab suddenly brushed open.

My father came striding through with a boy about my age.

"Kyra!" My father shouted. "I would like you to meet someone." My cheeks blushed red slightly embarrassed by my father. Slowly I lifted myself up from my desk and strode over to where he stood talking to his guest. The boy had black hair and brown eyes. He wore a cap on his head and had a yellow trainer bag slung over his shoulder.

"Kyra, I would like you to meet Ethan, Ethan this is my daughter Kyra." I leaned forward and shook his hand saying hi as I did.

"Ethan will be running an errand for me. He's going to go out to Elton city to pick up an artifact from the gym leader there that owns the museum."
