May 21 Today I got some scrap paper from a Rocket to start writing. I am 6 years old. My name is Sydney Audrey Brooke Ketchum. I got kidnapped when I was 2, according to some grunts and the kids in cages around me. My location right now is in Celadon city. Team Rocket has controlled the city for about a year. All I remember before I came here was a silk pink ribbon, someone shouting "Sydney!" and the name Terry. That's it. According to one of the older kids, I was brought here on June 18. The Rockets think Im the biggest threat, but theyre wrong. At night, we kids will all get together and draw out plans. Victor Thomason is probably the biggest threat. He is 12. May 31 I am tired. It is 4:33 in the morning. I have been working since 2:30 yesterday morning. They discovered our plans so they work the ones whose names were on it extra hard. Mine was. June 1 It is tough living with Rockets. My back feels like its going to break. I am supposed to carry a load from Lavendar to Celadon in 2 days! I feel like I'm gonna die. June 2 Saw a kid today. He offered to help but then a Amid came along and captured him. His name is Hector Valienten. We call him Tory. He is about 6 like me. June 5 Moving to Mt. Moon. Team Rocket says the fossils need to be gotten. June 8 We Kidnapped are digging for fossils. It is hard in the bright sun. We dig from about 9 in the morning to about 11 at night. Tory and I are trying to escape but so far it hasnt worked. June 14 Going to dig deeper in the cave. Cant see in the dark so last diary entrie for a while. June 17 It has been about a year since I last wrote. They moved us to Mount Moon, in a cavern. Finally today we came back. Vic, this 13 year old in the cage with me tried to escape using a passcode. He got as far as 2 feet from the door when they caught him. I'm still working my punishment off from last year. July 3 Going to the Radio tower in Johto. We kids are staying in cages during transport. Me and Tory now share a cage. July 10 The trip there was awful. All we got was some dry bread and warm water. Me and Tory tried to get out but now we are being sent to Meteor Falls to work for Aquas and Magmas to get Meteorites from a Dr. Cosmo. I'm scared and Tory knows it. We may be 7 but im still scared. July 22 Finally in Meteor falls. It is hard. I found a couple of colored rocks that the Magmas said to throw down. Instead I put them in the pocket of my black uniform(not any team, more military like. I even wore a tent shaped hat that matched). August 30 Today went back to Kanto. The Rockets are now underground in Viridian City. We work in Diglett's cave, digging for valuables. I found a wooden box with a Pokeball and a girl whittled in the top. There I put a piece of cardboard in it. Then I shared it with Tory. I carried my stones from Meteor Falls. He carried a whittled whistle in it along with a pokeball. May 30 Again another move. Hopefully, my newest plan will work. I am now 8 years old and need to get out of here. June 6 It failed. June 8 Got out for about an hour. Now I am locked in a vault with Tory. Hopefully we'll get out. June 13 Got out. July 6 Today I hope to not get any more trouble. If I do, I will be sent to Hoenn to be drown by Team Aqua. This can't go on. July 10 Not in trouble. Sent to Mt. Moon with group of kids. Tory included. Another fossil escavation. We will be deep in the Tunnels. August 7 Back. My arms are bruised and my body still recovering from a shock I recieved for being 'lazy'. Tory and I are thinking of a plan to escape. November 14 Today me and Tory decided to put the plan into action on the 9th of May. December 5? Bitter cold. I am in a seaform island. No winter coat so Im freezing January 6 Sent to Sevii Islands: Island 5. I am working in the cave every day until June. Tory is sick. I am doing his work for him. I hope he gets better. March 30 They sent Tory back to Viridian to get better. I miss him. May 9 I am not going to execute the plan without Tory. Recieved word he is still sick. I'm being sent back June 4. June 4 Tory is well and Im back. We are going to execute the plan on the 7th. He will be all better. June 5 2 days. Tory and I have the supplies together. I am taking them. June 7 It worked. I am now FREE! But I had to leave Tory behind. The Rockets were gaining on us so I went through the ventalation to get out in the middle of the night. Tory told me "Go on. Save yourself. Keep the box. Always remember me. Hopefully I'll get out, someday." I wish they hadnt taken him. I wanted to escape with him. I am heading to Pallet Town. June 17 Finally in Pallet. I was found in the street by a woman named Delia Ketchum. She says I am her daughter. I am almost 10 so I am glad that I can start. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++ Ok...
