"All three who bear, the potential in mind,

The power, the hunger, more evil they find

The man of the fire, works hard night and day,

Clang of the sword, til the metal give way

Courage he holds, to give what is right,

New found hope, red flames in his sight

Tis the girl of the darkness, where ever they be,

Her calmness is strong, all night then shall flee

Wisdom her power, controlling the mind,

When abroad this journey, more wisdom she finds

She, the girl of Rain, the sorceress of might,

Her determination is much, she gives all the light

None hidden before her, her eyes shall see all

Now evil will vanquish, the Dark Lord shall fall."

The Young One finished his part and stared into the fire. "Soon."

Chp. 1 Accepted

Hello.

My name is Elizabeth Matthews. Everyone calls me Liz for short. I am a... What can I say about myself?? I guess that you can say that I'm a Pokemon mainiac. (Who couldn't be?) I had wanted to be a Pokemon trainer ever since... Ever since what?? Nevermind. Just remember that I wanted to be a Pokemon trainer more than anything and that's all. Okay? Oh yeah, I think you should know a little more about my family. First there's my dad. He's 42 and really touchy about his age. Then there's my mom. She is 34 and is also touchy about her age. Of course, there is my brother. He is 16 and likes to shoot hoops. And then there is me! And... doh! How could I forget my Pidgeot? My dad let me keep him after I found him almost dead.

It was a sunny morning outside my attic window and I could hear the pidgeys chirping.I woke up to the smell of bacon frying all the way down in the kitchen. My brother Jonathon (Jon for short) was calling me from beneath the attic door. If there is one good thing about living in a attic, it's the entrance. Your pesty brothers can't come up to mess up your room unless you open the door and throw down a ladder. Your mom can't come up to do the annual spring cleaning either. And lately, I have just found a secret passage to my room. No one else knows about it and so I can lock the door and come in without a ladder. It's just perfect! Anyway, I had to get dressed and go down to get the mail. It was my turn. *groan* I wore my pajamas downstairs, and signed onto the mail laptop. The mail laptop lets you get the mail without going to the mailbox. Professor Oak invented it a few months back and it immediately was a big hit!

I typed in my user name (GryffindorGal16) and was told to hit enter as soon as the processing was finished. By processing, it meant that the mail would be bought to the door. By clicking enter, the door would open and the mail would be inside. It would come or attract to the mail laptop. The process was done. I pressed enter and in came the mail. There were some letters from my aunt and uncle, a few advertisements, and... my eyes fell on a particularly large box that was addressed to me! I gave the letters to my mom and then sat down to open my box. Everyone crowded around me and wondered what it could be. I opened the letter first and read:

Dear GryffindorGal16,

P.S. Open the box.

And so I did; with trembling hands. It was a magnificent trophy, with a Moltec of pure gold and engraved at the bottom of it was:GryffindorGal16, A Winner. I relized what this meant and whooped with joy. I didn't think about my family or my friends. I only cared that I was going to be a Pokemon trainer.

Part 2

A/N: Hi! Okay, so I worked hard on this. Big deal. Lol.

Disclaimer: I do own Choco, Ferrowecnism, blah, blah. All those new Pokemon. But I do not own Pokemon, as in, the TV, movies, whatever.

Chp.2 I Choose...

The rest of the week past by rather quickly to my suprise. I said goodbye to all my friends and any object that I knew I would miss: my room, my collection of Pokemon Cards (not just any cards but the really rare ones! I only take the holographic ones from ordinary packs and spend my entire allowance buying rare cards such as Grolismen, Talisman, and Fearrowecnicsom. The man who sales then was so delighted that I had such an intrest that he lowered the prices for me, reported to me when new ones came in, and gave me free lessons about all these Pokemon) , and my brother (Yes my brother IS an object)... just to name a few.

On the day I would go, I woke up mega-early and was mega nervous. I dressed casually; in a pair of shorts and a baggy t-shirt.I also took a jacket; just in case. I grabbed my backpack and went down for breakfast.

I was so nervous that I couldn't eat. The toast tasted like paper and I could hardly swallow it down. I managed to finish only a little of my breakfast but I was already full. I waited impaitiently for my dad to get ready. And then we drove off.

At the airport, I said good- bye to my family and boarded the plane. I don't remember much of the trip to the Crimson Islands except accidently spilling a banana split on the girl beside me whom turned out to be a good thing because then we started talking and became really good friends.

It took awhile but finally we were there! The Top Ten were definetly directed somewhere, but not to Professor Brair- it was to a motel! Professor Oak met us there and explained that the Pokemon/Pokedex machine was broken and that Professor Willow and Professor Brair were trying to get it fixed right now. I remembered that Professor Willow was famous for her knowledge in technology.

So there we were, ten people who were hungry and tired. While we ate dinner, I exchanged screennames with Anna (the girl on the airplane). Her's was AmazingMoltec160. I thought that it was pretty cool but she liked mine better. I had no clue why. After dinner, we trouped upstairs to go to bed when there was this huge crash. We rushed down and saw a big hot air balloon! Out came two people and a Meowth.

"Prepare for trouble!" said one.

"Make it double!" said another.

"To protect the world for devestation!"

"To unite all people within our nation!"

"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"

"To reach the stars from above!"

"Jessie!"

"James!"

"Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light!"

"Surrender now or prepare to fight!"

"Meowth! That's right!" cried out the Meowth.

Right there I got mad. I don't know how or why, I just got mad. I grabbed a pokeball from my belt and released the Pokemon inside. It was my Pidgeot. Jessie released an Arbok and James released a Victreebell.

"Arbok! Use Poison sting!"

"Pidgeot! Miror Move!" Pidgeot reflected Poisin Sting back on Arbok.

"Ahh! My Arbok!" wailed Jessie.

"My turn!" yelled James. "Victreebell, use Razor Leaf!"

"Pidgeot! Mirror Move again!" Once more, right on target. Victreebell went down. "Okay Pidgeot, use your gust and send 'em flying!"

"Pidgeot!"

"Ahh! We're blasting off again!" The tiny speck in the air was Team Rocket, flying away.

"Yes!" I cried. "Score one for me!" Then I noticed that Anna was looking at me wierd. "What??"

"You have a Skyball," she said in a low voice. "It's one of the Rare Balls. How did you ever get it??"

I relized that the ball that Dad gave me after a expedition in Sky Mt. had dropped from it's buckle. Anna scooped it up and handed it to me. "Oh," I said. "My Dad found it when he was at Sky Mt." Anna didn't say anything, just stared at me. I wished that she would stop. I wanted to say to her:Hey, Anna, can ya stop staring at me like I'm a zombie. It's freaking me out. But I knew that that would hurt her feelings. So I didn't say anything until Professor Oak ran up to us in the pile of rubble.

"Thank goodness I found you," he panted. "I thought that you were dead until some other guy said that you were kicking Team Rocket's butt." That made me smile a little.

"It really was nothing," I said modestly. "Anna was beside me all the time."

"You two did such a great job I think that you should get rewards for this," Oak smiled. Anna's eyes lit up but she didn't say a word. "Whats wrong with you?" asked Oak. "Don't you want to say something?"

Anna took a deep breath and answered," Yes I do. I just want to tell you that Liz has a- I mean the Skyball. I thought you should know because she told me she was collecting them. The Rare Balls I mean," she added hastily. I slapped my forehead. Great, I thought, lets talk about Rare Balls. Whatever they are. Then I felt ashamed at my ignorance.

But the Professor looked delighted. "You have a Rare Ball?" he asked full of interest. "May I see it?" I handed the ball to him and watched as he examined every detail there was. It wasn't much. It was shaped like an ordinary ball but the top side was a sky blue and bottom was a lighter shade of baby blue. At the two sides, there were clouds, to indicate the highness of where the ball lays. Oak seemed terribly happy at this discovery. "And where did you find this Skyball?"

I explained to him that my father had been invited to join an expedition to Sky Mt. and had found it there; on the top of the mountain, burried in snow. "Sky Mt. I should have expected that," breathed Oak. "And of course! Sorry.. leaving you out in the cold. Not to your liking, eh? Well don't worry, you're going to the Pokemon center!" We laughed along with him.

At the Pokemon Center, it was warm and cozy. We were all having a good time, talking and laughing. I had left my Pidegeot into the intensive care of Nurse Joy; it wasn't really anything serious, I just wanted Pidgeot to have a quick checkup. "One Pidgeot's checkup is over!" Nurse Joy, called over the noise. I went for the Pokeball, thanking the clever nurse.As I grabbed for the ball, someone else behind me also reached for it. He, or she, got it first and took it from me. I spun around. "Give it back! It's my Pokeball!" I protested. I was mad, but I couldn't help staring at the guy in front of me. He had flaming red hair. I mean really red. Kinda like fire, ya know? Actually, I thought it was fire at first. His eyes were, strangely, also kinda red. It was really chocolate brown with a tint of flame.

"No way, it's mine," he answered. Someone laughed from behind them.

"Still fighting with girls, Zidan?" someone drawled in the back. Zidan spun around.

"Oh, keep it down, Ash!" He shouted back. I almost gasped. Ash Ketchum? The Ash Ketchum? Apparently, it was. A tall boy with spiky black hair that never seemed brushed and warm brown eyes appeared. Behind him were Misty Waterflower and Brock Slate. (Is that his last name?)

"Okay, so now what did you do?" asked Ash, who's eyes had a twinkle of humor. I couldn't do anything but gape. I was looking at Ash Ketchum, the Master, the Chosen One, one of the Elite Four!! This was so hysterical!! But... before I lose my mind...

I took a deep breath and said," Mr. Red here just stole my Pokeball."

"I did not, it's my Pokeball!" Zidan exclaimed. "And my name is Zidan!" Ash held up his hands.

"Calm down, okay? I know what to do." I knew he did. After all, this was Ash Ketchum, the Master, the... okay, lets not go over that again. Anyway, Ash took the PokeBall and released the Pidgeot. It (of course) immediately went over to me and kinda purred .

I smiled. "See? I told you it's mine." Zidan turned really red and stomped off, mumbling that he had to take a shower. Ash shrugged.

"Sorry," he said. "Zidan acts like that all the time. It's like his hobby to fight with girls."

"That's okay. But he better not take my ball again." Ash laughed.

"I don't think he will."

***************************************************************************************************************************

The next morning I woke up and dressed in a pair of jeans, a pale blue T-shirt, and a navy blue sweater. I swallowed some cereal and toast and gulped down some orange juice. And then I went downstairs. Everyone was already there- including all the professors. They were eating breakfast. Anna offered me some but I said no thank you. I spotted Ash talking to his group nearby. He said something and they nodded in agreement. And so he walked over to me. "Hey," he said casually.

"Hey," I answered.

"CanMistyBrockZidanandIcomewithyouwhenyougoonyourjourney??" A normal person probably wouldn't understand. But then, I'm not a normal person, am I??

"Sure," I said, trying not to look like I would jump out and scream. And I didn't. I'm very good at hiding the truth. But I must have looked like Why is he asking me this????Ash noticed my expression.

"It's because I have something to do at Mahogany Town and since you're going through, it's just more easier. Besides, safety in numbers." I grinned. Boy did I know. "Well, see ya at what time?"

" I leave at 2:00 p.m."

" Okay."

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&At 1:30, I left the motel with Anna and we walked to the Pokemon lab. I thought that it was very cool. Inside was very crowded. Professor Oak stood up and cleared his throat for silence. "Ahem, shall we start?" Silence imediately. Oak smiled. "Good. Welcome new trainers, to the exciting world of Pokemon! Now, we will give you a few moments to look at each Pokemon. Good luck!" And then then volume went back up. My eyes wandered around until they fell on a tiny Dratini. He looked terribly frail and very tired. He raised his head as I walked over. I examined him carefully.

"Don't bother getting that one." I spun around. Almost gasped for it was Gary Oak! He was the second most famous Pokemon trainer after Ash. But then I had to stay calm.

"What d'ya mean," I asked casually. Waited.

"I mean that one will never get stronger. Pokemon depend on how they start. If a Pokemon starts out weak, it ends up weak. If a Pokemon starts out strong, it ends up strong." He looked smug, as if daring me to challenge him. And that's just what I did.

"What would you know?" I demanded. Now he looked suprised at me, but then he immediately caught himself.

"More than you do!"

"Do not!"

"Do too!"

"Not!"

"Too!"

"Okay then, what's the strongest attack of a Fearrowecnism?"

"I don't know!"

"For your imformation, it Fury Fight, you dolt!"

"Well, I still know more than you do!"

"Do not!"

"Do too!"

"You pig-headed, slime-washed, greedy, guts! I'd be happy if your hair turned multi-colored and you melted into a puddle!!!"

The fight would have gone on if it hadn't been for Professor Brair who shouted out," Times up! Now, we will annouce the winner according to their time on the internet. In first place, Elizabeth Mattews!" I darted to the Dratini and scooped him up.

"I choose Drantini!" I announced. Oak handed me six silvery-blue pokeballs and as I went back to my seat, I caught some disappointed looks among the crowd.Some almost looked mad and angered. I tried to ignore them.

"Second place, Anna Murray!" Anna slowly jogged to the Choco, a chocolate brown bird type Pokemon.Willow handed her a set of chocolate colored balls.

"In third, June Arven!" June went over to Cyndaquil and was given sparkly orange balls.

"Fourth, Sheila Lin!" Sheila practically raced towards the Chikarita. She was given, no duh, six green balls.

"In fifth, Lombour Briskin!" Lombour walked calmly over to Charmander. Elm handed him six red balls.

"Sixth, Micheal Maverie!" I knew that boy. He was a good friend of mine. I also knew what he would choose. Micheal had always wanted a Tododile.

"Seventh, Jason Ray!" Jason seemed to like normal types. On the plane he had been bragging about his knowledge and now he decided on the Igglypuff.

"Eighth, Shawna Reski!" Shawna chose a Squirtle. Her balls sparkled in the light. She was a complete braggart. I hated her already. Seriously.

"Ninth, April Picmin!" I think April was in love with a Horsea. She was pratically drooling about them. So, of course, she got a sweet little Horsea.

"Tenth, Rowan Bane!" Ro (his nickname) quickly got a Vulpix and the choosing was over. Everyone immedietely left, not taking any interest anymore in the lab. Me? I was just interested in finding Ash and Co. before going on with my journey.

==================================================================================================

A/N: I know, I know, this was a lousy chp. No flames, okay?? I am not in a good mood right now. Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells... Hehehe...Sorry, merry Christmas! I need to work on my sense of humor...

Part 3

A/N: Sorry if the progress so slow. I had to spend alot of time with Miss. Braggart. Aren't I lucky?? I get my own torture-me service. Well, I am NOT enjoying it for your info. If this was the wirzard world, She'd be dead meat and in her grave by now. I would have sent Crystal (my imaginary owl) over with the Killing Curse. Or maybe I would confront face to face. Much more fun. I know. I'm becoming a natural Voldemort. Well if I am... then Luicius Malfoy, get your butt over here so I can kill you!!! Haha!!

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Pokemon so don't sue me.

Chp. 3 Starting

I weaved my way through the crowd. A moment ago, I was concentrating on getting a Pokemon. Now I was trying to find Ash. "Elizabeth! Oy, Liz!!" Ash called from the center of the crowd. Everyone turned their attention to him. Suddenly, they were all staring at him.

"Ash, you forgot your disguise," whispered Misty. She was kind of worried. Last time there was such such a crowd, it took Ash a whole 2 hours to get away. Then the noise was on. Everyone sreamed and sqealed and shrieked as they tried to get Ash's autogragh.

This time it took only 10 minutes for him to get away because I marched up and shouted, "Shut up will ya!???!?! You guys make me sick. Why doncha all go and calm down before you talk to him! You're all making me embarrassed." That did the trick. The people were quiet as they watched, green with envy, at me walking away with Ash, Misty, Brock, and Zidan.

"Phew," said Ash. "Thanks alot back there. Can we call you Liz?"

"Sure."

***************************************************************************************************************************

At nightfall, we camped in a small forest called the Petrerian Forest. Brock made us some chicken soup with freshly baked bread. It was delicious. I complimented Brock on his cooking. Over their soup and bread, Misty and Zidan were arguing about which types were better. Misty was a Cearulean Gym sister-she was pure water type. Zidan, on the other hand, was raised by parents who worked in a forge. He grew up spending his time with the fire-type. The arguement was usual according to Ash and Brock. Zidan always like to pick on Misty.

"Listen, water-types are sooo much better than some crappy fire-type. I mean, they're the strongest!"

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah!"

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah!"

"Misty and Zidan, sitting in a tree..." said Ash in a singsong voice. He didn't get to finish because Misty and Zidan gave him their death looks.

"Shut up!" they said in unision. Ash winked at me. I grinned back. Then all of the sudden, Brock started choking on his soup and bread. Ash started laughing and so did I. Brock gave in and started to laugh too. "WHAT?!?!?!" yelled Misty and Zidan.

"Nothing," Ash manged to spit out. This only made us laugh harder. It was "haha' and "hoho" for us. Once we started, we couldn't stop.

"Tell US!!!" screamed Misty and Zidan. Of course, we couldn't tell them -we were laughing so hard. By now, tears were streaming down our faces. It took awhile before we could calm down. Then Ash giggled, just one tiny giggle, and we were laughing again. Misty thought we were lunatics. Zidan thought we had medical problems. We thought that it was funny and were roaring with laughter. Finally we stopped. There was just nothing funny about it anymore. We giggle, wink, and grin like crazy but we couldn't laugh. It was finally over. Misty and Zidan signed with relief. "Finally."

***************************************************************************************************************************

When I woke up, the sun was shining through the trees and it was a bright day. After breakfast, we set off immediately. Zidan informed me that if I was to catch Pokemon, then I would have to go in the tall, tall grass that grew everywhere except on the road. The grass was so tall and thick that you couldn't see in front of you. Wild Pokemon, he said, like to jump out on in the grass when you least expect it. Since Misty had sourly already told me that Zidan was an experienced trainer who was used to the wild, I took his word for it and we headed for the grass. He was right. After a few minutes of going around, a Chikorita popped out and took me completely by suprise. I quickly recovered and watched as the Chikorita got into battle stance. "She's defending her territory," noted Zidan. "Her little piece of land."

"I know what territory means," I snapped. I was kind of embarressed at my reation. "Pidgeot, go!" Pidgeot flew out and made a loop de loop in the air. "Pidgeot, no time for playing, use Envade to raise your defense!"

"Smart move," commented Zidan from the back. I felt a little better. Now we waited for the Chikorita. "Chikor!" With a whirl of it's leaf, she used Vine Whip.

"Pidgeot! Mirror Move!' It worked; Chikorita was knocked back. "Now! Finish it off with Gust!" That did the trick. I got my Chikorita. We kept on going, this time on the road cuz we agreed that I could always catch Pokemon another time.

We reached Cherrygrove Town at nightfall and this time I had another Pokemon with me, a Choco that was just like Anna's. The Nurse Joy there healed my new Pokemon and we stayed at the Pokemon Center that night.

***************************************************************************************************************************

I opened my eyes to Zidan staring at the food that had already come in. I didn't what woke me up-the smell of breakfast or the uncomfortable feeling that I was gtting every time I looked at Zidan. We matched eye for eye at the food until he finally spoke," I already ate my share, you better eat yours too." Gratefully, I did. I loved bacon and eggs in the morning. Ash and Co. woke up later on and gobbled up their now cold breakfast. I waited for them to get ready- then we said good-bye to Nurse Joy and left for Violet City.

In the afternoon, the sun was starting to burn and we all hot and sweaty. We met a man down the road and he offered to let us rest in his cabin for awhile. We gratefully accepted. When he looked at me, I got a really weird feeling inside my stomach. "What?" I asked.

"It's you!" he said in awe. "Welcome back home."

==================================================================================================

A/N: So the old man knows it all! What happens next? What does the man mean? What does it have to do with Elizabeth? If you wanna know, then you'll have to read the next Chp.! And pretty please, I know this is not on the internet (thankfully) but still, to my few readers, R&R!! Thanks for your support! I'll keep you posted!

Part 4

A/N: (to chp.4) Hi! Glad you decided to read this chapter. The next chp. might come out slower. So here we go, short and simple.

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon. So PLEASE don't sue me. I'm really poor cuz sometimes my mom forgets to pay me.

==================================================================================================

Chp. 4 Meeting a New Friend

I immediately thought that he had mistaken me or that he was crazy. Unfortunately, he wasn't either of them. "What are you talking about?" I questioned. The others were looking just as confused as me.

"Come in," beckoned the man. " I will explain everything." I guess we trusted him because the next thing I knew, we were all in his little cabin and he was serving us cool lemonade and cookies just baked. When we were settled, he sat down too and began his story.

"Well, let us begin. First, I am Zrldo. A long time ago, probably millions of years, there was a great sorceress called Rain. She was a good sorceress and she loved Pokemon. Her favorite type was the dragons. She loved their strength and grace and she loved the feeling of peace that you felt when you were near one of the Great Dragons."

At this point, Misty interrupted," What were the Great Dragons?"

Zrldo shot her a dirty look. " I will tell you in a minute. Now, please don't interrupt!!" And then he continued.

"As I was about to say, the Great Dragons were the eight dragons who were mightier than the rest. They were powerful and strong and they were very legendary. More legendary than the Wings of Wisdom, the group of legendary birds. They were the only dragons of their kind. Each dragon lived in his/ her own place. The dragons consisted of seven types: Wind, Water, Fire, Ghost, Grass, Ice, and Lighting.The eighth dragon was Colorless. She the strongest of them all put together. Rain loved her the most. More than anything, she wanted to catch the "Wings of Greatness", the name given to the group of the Great Dragons.

But, Rain thought that normal Pokeballs were too weak and plain to hold the dragons' might. So, within 8 days, she fashioned a ball for each dragon. She went out, and with some hard work, caught all eight. Each ball held one dragon. Sky Ball: Wind, Fly Ball: Lighting. Mist Ball: Ghost. Rose Ball: Grass. Freeze Ball: Ice. Star Ball: Water. Dragon Ball: Normal. And for the eighth, she named it Rain Ball.The dragons came to love her and only obeyed her. For awhile, everyone was happy.

But no one, not even Rain, knew of the evil that was rising. One day, while Rain was out with her Pokemon, the evil called Deivhjg attacked her so he could have her dragons and their balls. Rain died that day and Deivhjg claimed the Pokemon. However, Rain was not totally dead. Appriwind, the goddess of wind, asked her to blow the wind on the top of the mountains. She agreed to. Menawhile, Deivhjg soon found out that the dragons didn't obey him. He decided to go to Corupt Mt. on the same day that Rain would blow her wind on the same Mt. When Rain saw Deivhjg, she also saw her chance. Becoming a strong gust of wind, Rain blew towards Deivhjg. The wind knocked the balls with the dragons inside them to the Eight Wonders of the world. Somehow, the toss released the Pokemon. The balls blew off course but the dragons are claimed to be in the Eight Wonders. Deivhjg lost his powers and was thrown into the volcano of Corupt Mt. Yet he told them, "On the day the eighth dragon is found, I will return!" Rain also said the same thing before leaving this world. I know that Rain's desendant would bring back Rain and destroy Deivhjg! And that is you, Elizabeth Rain!"

Zrldo finished his story and everyone looked at me. I was shocked. A few days ago, my life had been perfect. Now??!? No way would I put myself in so much danger. I knew that to bring back Rain that I would have to catch all eight dragons. That would be the hardest task. And where would the Pokeballs be??

No one said anything for a few moments until Ash spoke up. " I know how you feel."

"Huh?" I answered. I was feeling kinda stupid and kinda numb. Ash ignored that and kept on talking.

"I had to save the world once. I knew I didn't have to do it. It wasn't my fault. But then, there were people who needed me. And I could of killed myself had it not have been for Lugia." What he said made me think a little. He was right. There were people who needed me. It was my choice. Yes or no. Win or lose. A 50/50 game. If I said no, then the world would be toast. And then it would be my fault. If I said yes, then I might have a chance. Okay, so you can guess what I chose. I mean, I wanna be a hero, right?

"Okay, I'll do it. " I said. Zrldo smiled.

"Great! Now, you will need some things if you're going to do this. Hold on, I'll be right back." In a minute, he came. "This is a map of where the dragons will be. This is a book about the dragons and their balls and this, this is the Fly Ball. " I gasped and looked up at the kindly face.

"You have the Fly Ball?" He snorted.

"Of course I do. I'm the 100 Traveler." This made me more surprised. The line of Travelers was falling short and there wasn’t much more of them. Those who existed mainly kept to themselves. It was rare when you met one. "Here," he added. " Take this, also." He handed me a golden chain that held a single diamond so perfect that I could feel the call of the Heavens. On either side of it was a gold wing that reflected everything in its shine. The small background that was added was midnight blue, which gave me a mysterious feeling, with tiny, silver stars that twinkled just like real stars. It was beautiful.

"What's this for?" I asked. I was so amazed by his gift.

"You will find out soon enough, " he smiled. " But I want you to hear this." He pressed the left wing of the diamond and to my surprise; a voice came out, wailing:

"All three who bear, the potential in mind,

The power, the hunger, more evil they find

The man of the fire, works hard night and day,

Clang of the sword, til the metal give way

Courage he holds, to give what is right,

New found hope, red flames in his sight

Tis the girl of the darkness, where ever they be,

Her calmness is strong, all night then shall flee

Wisdom her power, controlling the mind,

When abroad this journey, more wisdom she finds

She, the girl of Rain, the sorceress of might,

Her determination is much, she gives all the light

None hidden before her, her eyes shall see all

Now evil will vanquish, the Dark Lord shall fall."

The song had ended. " The last person in the riddle is you. Now, this is callled the Summoner," explained Zrldo. "It lets you summon the Great Pheonix. Just pass your hand over the stars."

"Thank you so much!" I breathed.

"I heard that Rain used it often," He winked at me. Excuse me? Rain!? How did he know that? "Well, you cetaintely won't reach Violet City today," he said. My face fell. Another delay!! Phooey. "But when you arrive at the fork in the road, turn right to head the way to Violet City. You will will see the Pokemon Inn, a hotel for pokemon trainers. Oh, and here, take this in place of my thanks." He placed a small object into my hands. It was black, with a tiny microphone on the top. "This is a Telepather. It lets you communicate with anyone through the mind. Now be off!"

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

So, in just a few minutes, my life changed completely changed. One min., I was Elizabeth Matthews, a Pokemon trainer who wanted to catch the Wings of Greatness. Then, I was Elizabeth Rain, now supposedly the decendent of Rain, due to catch both the Wings of Greatness and the Wings of Wisdom. Pretty cool, huh? Hmph. Easy for you to say-you don't have to save the world. Plus, I had to release my Choco and Chikorita. So I was stuck with only my Pidgeot and Dratini. I had decided to nickname my Pokemon. I called my Dratini "Draco", and my Pidgeot "Mystic Wing".

My depressed state didn't last very long. When I rang the doorbell of Pokemon Inn, a girl answered it. She had long, raven-black hair. It curled all the way down to her knees. It was thick, yet silky, and very shiny. Her bangs were long-she had let them grow shoulder-length.A few strands were tucked under her ears while the rest curled around her face. She was sun-tanned and very slim. The most remarkable thing about her was her eyes. They were a dark chesnut with a tiny tint of silver and liliac. They radiated power, peacefulness, and a wisdom that was suprising to be in someone so young-about as old as me. She wore a tight t-shirt, a blue sweater draped loosely around her, and black jeans.

Aqua's POV.

I stood staring at the strangest gang I had ever seen. The first three I knew. Who wouldn't reconize Ash, Misty and Brocko??? However, the other two... One was a boy of about 15. He had firey red hair and chocolate brown eyes with a tint of flame in them. He came from a forge; it was so obvious. It was the other one who attracted my attention. She was a girl who was my age-12. Her smooth chesnut hair was like mine; thick, and silky. Hers was not curly, more like wavy. It fell gracefully down to her knees (like mine) and her bangs were like me. Hers, though, was thicker and unevenly parted. Her body was like mine- slim and tall.She wore a loose light blue shirt, a green jacket, and navy pants. I liked her eyes the most-so much like mine. Deep, man. Okay, that was random. They were a hazel with splash of gold in them, and had a fierce look in them, making her look determined, courageous, and yet strange.

End of POV.

"Ahem," I cleared my throat. "I'm Elizabeth Rain. Um, like, can we stay here for the night?" She snapped out of her trance.

"Oh, sure you can," she said. "I'm Aquala, but you can call Aqua;everyone does. Follow me."She let us inside. Her mother (I think it was her mother looked up.

"Oh, Aqua, new trainers? Well, I guess not. Zidan, your mother sent you a telegram, it's right here. It says to take care and come visit her soon."

"Okay, tell her I will," smiled Zidan. Aqua led us to our room.

"Sorry," she said apolegetically. "But the other rooms are full and mine is big enough for all of you. I hope you don't mind." I sure didn't. Now I could talk about my journey with Ash & Co.

***************************************************************************************************************************

When I opened my eyes, it was 10:19 a.m.and everyone except for Aqua was still asleep. "Morining," I murmured sleepily. I got up and went to brush my teeth and change into some clothes.

Later, after I came out of the bathroom, Aqua said," Elizabeth, I talked to my parents about this, and they say it's alright if you say it's alright. Well, can I with you on your journey?"

"Sure," I said. She smiled at this. When the others woke up, I announced," Meet our new companian!" They dealt with it pretty well. I guess.

"Let's all go down and have breakfast cuz I'm hungry," suggested Ash. We all agreed. After breakfast, we set off. Aqua's father, as a good-bye present, gave Aqua a Starmicia, the evolved form of Starmie. I was envious (but of course, I didn't say that I was)until he gave me a Ponyta. I nicknamed it "Firemane" and Aqua called her Starmicia "Starshell".

We were off...
