NEVERMORE

~Part One Of Forever Trilogy~

Chapter 1

A New Town

And so the Magnet Train took us all the way across the rest of Johto, Hoenn, and then south to Sinnoh. Isshu is right below Sinnoh. Anyway, we got off at Jubilife City. Then we get in our new car, and drive all the way down to Twinleaf. It's so, so quiet when we pull up in front of our new house...our new home.

My family - my dad, my mom, and my little brother Timothy - and I dragged all of our belongings into our new two story house. I've never lived in a house before. Just when we got everything inside, my mom stretched and said, "Our first house! And it's so quiet out here!"

"I could get used to this," said Dad, nodding.

"And I'll go crazy," I muttered under my breath.

"Hm, what was that, honey?" Mom asked as she walked by me into the kitchen.

"Nothing," I said quickly as I scaled the stairs with a box full of my belongings up into my room.

My room was way bigger than the one back in Goldenrod. It had cream colored walls, one window, and a walk-in-closet. My room was beyond awesome. And I had my own bathroom!

I put the box down on my bed, and then went into my bathroom. I checked myself in the mirror. My long, thick blonde hair was pulled back in a low side pony tail, allowing me to wear Chase's hat comfortably. The hat kept down the spiky part of my bangs; my bangs almost reach my eyes, but on one side, they spike up too. My eyes are the color of my name. I'm dressed in a red tank top and black skinny jeans. I'm not that...developed, you could say. I'm thin - but I don't starve myself - and I barely stand above five feet.

I did my business, and then began the long labor of unpacking every single freaking thing I own.

...

Ah, summer. The days of peace and relaxation. Only few days remained of summer vacation. My parents wouldn't let me leave the house to do anything. They let Timothy go out and play! And he's even made some friends! And I, the mature child of the family, can't even go into the backyard! It ticked me off. I was so, so bored!

Today was enough. There was no way I was going to stay under lock and key any longer. I stomped down the stairs to the living room, and stalked all the way to where my parents sat. They both looked up at me.

"Mom, Dad, can I please go outside?"

"Topaz, honey, it's dangerous," said Mom.

"Dangerous my eye!" I exclaimed. "You let Timothy out, and he's five years younger than me!"

Dad sighed. "She's right, Emily. Topaz, you can go outside. But stay away from any nature."

I squealed. "Thanks, Dad! And I will!"

So, naturally, I didn't. I headed straight for Lake Verity, being the rebellious teenager I was. The lake was a little ways away from Twinleaf...but I needed to get away from that not-so-small hick town. When I got there, it was a beautiful sight. The cerulean water shimmer in the sunlight. Nothing else was around, just me and the lake. I walked closer to the lake, until I was at the sandy edge. I had barely stood there for a few moments when...

The water's edge, exploded, sending water everywhere, throwing me back and soaking me as well. I fell hard on my back and scrambled painfully into a sitting position. I turned my gaze to see what had burst out of the water. My breath was taken away in fear at the beast that was before me.

It was huge with a serpentine body. It was mainly blue, with a yellow underbelly and yellow spots flecking its sides. It's gaping mouth had canine fangs. A dark blue three pointed crest rose from its forehead. Large white fins jutted down its back. It was a pokemon...called Gyarados, I think.

The Gyarados roared. It was so angry...I could feel its anger. It was so mad. I was tresspassing on its territory. How the heck do I know this?

A powerful looking red ball of light began to form inside its jaws...

mwahaha! what will happen? review! I could still use some OC's!
