Two Lives, One Girl Chapter 1 Birthday Wishes This is a new fic I’m starting. It’s different from my others because it’s told in the first person. Please review to tell me if you like it or not! The main character is Alyssa Lishaw. Here’s her profile: She has waist length platinum blonde hair that is usually always worn down; her eyes are dark blue with silver flecks; everyday clothes are dark blue jeans, white flowy blouse, silver ‘A’ necklace, silver hoop earrings, and white sneakers; formal clothes are an aqua blue sparkly evening gown, ‘A’ necklace, dark blue high heels, and has hair in a bun with a few loose strands coming out; and her personality is not too outgoing, not too shy, not good around guys she likes, friendly, funny, sensitive, intelligent, can let out a heck of a temper if riled up but can usually keep her temper under control…usually. Now, on with the story! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I want to be the very best Like no one ever was To catch them is my real test To train them is my cause (oooh) I will travel across the land Searchin' far and wide Each Pokemon to understand The power that's inside!

A heart so true Our courage will pull us through You teach me and I'll teach you Pokemon! (Gotta catch 'em) Gotta catch 'em Gotta catch 'em all! “Yes!” I exclaimed. “I didn’t miss it!” My favorite show, Pokemon, had just come on. Then I jumped up off my bed and started singing with the television. My wavy platinum blonde hair flew around while I danced. “Every challenge along the way With courage I will face I will battle everyday To claim my rightful place! Come with me, the time is right! There's no better team Arm and arm, we'll win the fight! It's always been a dream! Pokemon! It's you and me. I know it's my destiny! Pokemon! Ooh you're my best friend In a world we must defend!

(Gotta catch 'em Gotta catch 'em Gotta catch 'em all! Pokemon!” “Alyssa!” Mom called from downstairs. "Yes Mom?" I asked. "Could you turn the volume down? Not all of us are Pokemon fans!" She answered. "Yeah!" chimed in my 6 year old little sister from her room next door. "Well, you should be because it rocks." I grumbled as I turned the volume down. Then I laid down on the edge of my bed to get a better view. "Here Comes The Squirtle Squad!" Said Ash's voice, announcing the title of the episode. 'I wish I could go to the Pokemon world. Beat gym leaders and travel across the world. But, I can't because it's only a TV. show.' I sighed sadly and watched the rest of the show in silence. "Who's that Pokemon?" The television screen showed what obviously was a Dugtrio. "If somebody doesn't know that then they must have potatoes for brains!" I remarked. "It's Dugtrio!" "Dugtrio trio!" When the episode was over I walked downstairs sadly. Today was my tenth birthday. The day that I would start my pokemon journey, if there was such thing as pokemon. I knew my parents were having a surprise party so I quit moping and practiced my surprise face before entering the dark kitchen. "Why are all the lights off?" I asked a little bit too loudly. I turned them on and: "Surprise!" I knew there was going to be a surprise party, but I didn't expect this! Pokeball streamers lined the walls, everyone was wearing pointy paper hats with a Lugia on the hat, and there was a cake in the shape of a pikachu! It was a PokeBirthday! "Eeeep!" I squealed and hugged everyone. The guests consisted of my parents, my little sister, my two older sisters, my five friends, my aunt, uncle, and grandma. "Let’s open presents!" Exclaimed Melissa. She had dirty blonde shoulder length hair and dark blue/green eyes. Melissa was wearing a purple jacket and blue jeans. "Now let’s let Alyssa decide." Said Brandy, my eldest sister. She was wearing dark blue shorts with a red long sleeve shirt; her golden blond hair was an inch below her shoulders. "Um, let’s open presents!" I decided. Everyone walked over to the sofa and sat down. My friends crowded around me and I grabbed the closest present. It was small and thin in a rectangular shape, it didn't rattle when shaken, and the wrapping paper said 'Gotta Catch 'Em All!' all over in big yellow letters. The card read 'Hope you like it! Your friend, Rachel.' The red head smiled when she saw me grab her present. I cast a thankful look at her and Rachel's dark brown eyes flashed mischievously. "What? Is it going to explode when I open it?" I asked fearfully. Rachel is the ultimate prankster. She let out a small laugh and shook her head no. I sighed and ripped off the wrapping paper. "Eeeep!" I squealed excitedly. "Pokemon The Movie 2000! I've wanted this forever! And it's on DVD!! Thank-you Rachel!" She shrugged and said you're welcome. After the first present I got a booster pack of Pokemon trading cards from Melissa, a gift card from my friend Lura, two pokemon color-in posters from my friend Tamra, a stuffed Raichu from my friend Jaqualyn, some clothes from my Aunt Carolyn and Uncle Jeff, Grandma gave me $20.00, all three of my sisters pitched in to buy me a HUGE articuno wall mural, and my parents gave me five booster packs and another booklet to hold my cards. "Thank-you guys so much! Can we eat now?" I asked, clutching my growling stomach. Everyone laughed and walked into the kitchen. Mom served hot dogs for lunch. After that we crowded around to sing Happy Birthday. Dad lit up the 10 candles on my Pikachu cake. "Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Alyssa, happy birthday to you!" Sang everyone. "And many more-" Started Lura, but stopped when everyone looked at her. 'I wish I could go to the Pokemon world!' Then I blew out the candles. Everyone clapped and started to bug me about my wish. I absolutely refused to tell until it came true. 'And it never will.' I thought sadly. At the end of the day I climbed upstairs to go to sleep. When I opened my door I didn't see my room. Instead I saw a silvery-blue something covering the entrance to my room. Scared and tired I poked it to see what it was. All of a sudden it starts sucking me into it. I screamed for help but it was too late, I was inside and the entrance to my house had closed. Apparently this was a portal of some sort. For what seemed like hours I floated in the silvery, shimmering blue portal. Then I was falling down to what seemed like ground. I must've gone unconscious when I hit the ground because when I woke up my head hurt. I looked around and saw nothing familiar-or was it? Something in my head told me I have seen this place before, but where I don't know. All of a sudden I realized something. "Everything is two dimensional!" I looked down at myself. "Aaah! I'm two dimensional! What's going on?" Then it hit like a big bulldozer me when I read a sign. The sign said 'Welcome to Pallet Town.' "I'm in the Pokemon world!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please tell me what you think! I really appreciate it when someone reviews.
