Chapter 1- Piper

The rain fell as the small, frail girl stood beside the coffin, now encasing her father. She was alone. Her father had died in the explosion of the laboratory he worked in, making new cures for various berries. Her mother had also died in a hiking accident. Piper's mother was looking for Geodude, to help her in her research and it seemed that this trip was to be her last. The cold, salty tears trickled down her face, as she walked out of the small cemetery. Piper had no friends, no family, and now no hope to live. She walked down the familiar road, and her head was filled with the memories of her family, who were happy only months ago, though it seemed forever.

Instead of taking the usual road down to her mansion, she turned left, into the Yellow Forest. The rain now bucketed down as the walked through the forest, until she reached her special spot. She sat on the hard, cold stump, amongst the bright and vibrant foliage of the forest. She rested her head in her hands, hoping for everything to go away, and that she was with her parents again. She sat on that stump for days. Exhausted and hungry, she sat still. In the rain, sun, hail and storms. 7 days after her father's funeral, a Pidgeot flew into the tree above. That one sign of life opened Pipers eyes. She realised that life was beautiful, and some what worth living. She craned her head and looked into the tree above, and spotted a nest. Mustering all the energy she had left in her, Piper started to climb the tree. She got higher, and higher, until she could see that little stump in which she had sat far behind her. After 20 minutes of agonising reach pull, reach pull, she reached the little nest. She bent her head and looked into the expertly crafted nest, and saw a Mother Pidgeot, and her little Pidgey. Piper reached to touch the Pidgeys head. As she did so, a sharp pain followed by a tingling shot up her arm. She heard a strange sound in her head.

'Piper, Piper', it said. Looking around for the source of the voice, she found nothing but a Beedrill hovering around a flowering tree to her left. Pokemon can't talk, she reassured her self. Having none of her own, she trained her parents Pokemon, eagerly awaiting her 14th birthday when she will get her own starter Pokemon.

'Piper, piper', the voice said again. She went out on a limb and said in her head,

'Who are you'? she said, not really awaiting a response.

'I am right in front of you Piper' the reply was, the voice sounding in her head. Piper looked down, and saw the little Pidgey. But, she thought, Pokemon can't talk. They can't talk human anyway. I am dreaming. Nice dream Hunter, now can I wake up?

'It is not a dream piper. I am, strange. The moment you touched my, we became bonded. I can speak to you in your mind, and you can speak to me.'

"Why? Why can I speak to you? Why can you speak to me?'

'That I don't know' was the Pidgeys reply, as it jumped on to her arm. "' I am coming with you'.

'But won't you mum miss you?'

'She knows I have to go, Piper, I am different. I am here, for a purpose I feel'

'Ok, where shall we go?'

'To the house'

'But there is no one there'

'I know, but we need supplies. And, yes, I can see into your mind, and see all your memories'

On that notes, the pair climbed slowly down the tree and walked past the stump. What shall I call my little friend now?

'I am a she'

'Oh yea, you can read my mind now, ha. I will have to get used to that. How about Trisha?'

'No, that doesn't feel right'

'Yasmine or Lilly?

'No, no. Something starting with C'

'Catharine?' the Pidgey shook her head,' Caitlin?' the emotions that the Pidgey felt transferred to Piper. So, I can feel her emotions too. She feels, happy. I think she is Caitlin or Caitie for short, Piper thought.

'Yes, Caitlin'

'Oh yea, the mind reading thing'

With Caitlin by her side, Piper strolled out of the forest and down the road to her Mansion. Caitlin kept asking questions. About her family, herself, what everything was. Though she could read her mind, they preferred talking, growing to know each other. Soon they reached the door of the mansion. The great wooden entrance loomed before her. Bending to get the spare key from the secret compartment, Piper noticed a letter on the mat. It was addressed to her. She opened it, and the page was filled with an untidy scrawl. It appeared to be written in blood. Piper Opened it. The letter read "Piper, come save me. I am being held captive by your father. He has gone evil. Save me. Love Mum"
