Cardcaptor Lorenna

                                                          Chapter 1 - The Beginning


  It was the day before the last day of school day of school at the school of Treasure Hills, a young girl at the age of 10 was sitting at her open window. The sun was setting over the horizon, it was a clear blue sky that noon, but it was evening now, and the sky was pinkish-orangeish. The birds were flying back to their nests for the night, and small purple rats scurried into the tall grass just outside of Littleroot Town. The girl stared out at the sky, thinking.


  The sky started to turn black, the stars glittered out one-by-one, the Quarter Moon was out since evening. The girl seemed to had been staring at it the whole time, but she just stared at it, thinking and unmovingly. The night sky was there, she snapped out of her moon staring trance and got up. She turned around, and whispered to herself, "To be a Pokemon Master is My dream....." She walked over to her bed, she sat down on it, got under the flower covered blanket, and fell asleep as night took over the sky once again.


  It was another bright, sunny, clear day, the girl was still asleep, as all people should be. It was 6:47 in the morning, the girls bedroom door creaked open, the figure of a woman walked slowly into the room. She walked up to the bottom of the bed, and she grabbed the girls legs, pulling her from under the cover. "Yow!! Mom!! Don't Scrae Me Like That!!" the girl exclaimed, rubbing her eyes. "Well, sorry, Baby. But If you don't want to be late for school, you're gonna be one of the late Laurens in the class." the woman spoke, pulling the girl out of bed, and onto her feet. The girl had a glance at the clock, her eyes widened. "YIKES!!!!" the girl, Lauren, screamed. She ran out of her bedroom, and into the bathroom.


  It had been 5 minutes till Lauren came out of the bathroom. She had on a red Limited Too shirt that had a Big Pink Flower in the middle, red shorts that matched the shirt very well, and a red head band. She went into her room and picked out a pair of red tennis shoes, she also grabbed her all dark blue roller backpack and walked out of her room once again. She walked into a room that was pretty much big, a brown clock on top of it said it was 6:52. To Lauren, that meant she was late, she hated going straight into the school building, she always wanted to go into the gym right next to the school. All the early students went there to wait until it was time to go in, another reason she liked to go to the Gym was because a special someone always went to the Gym every morning.


  Lauren sat down in a chair next to the table, and her mom put a plate of pancakes in front of her, the pancake syrup was already there. Lauren grabbed the syrup, put a little bit on top of the top pancake, a lot on the side, rolled up the pancake into a taco, and took a bite out of it. She always ate her pancakes this way ever since she encountered breakfast without a fork. (*laughs out loud*) She finished quite quickly, since they tasted so good. She grabbed her roller backpack, and walked towards the door. "I'm going to school now! Bye!" she exclaimed, she heard her mom, dad, and grandmother yell "Bye!" just as she left out to door. She started to run, putting her roller backpack on her back. If she ran, she'd get to her school in 3 minutes.


  Indeed, she got there in 3 minutes exactly. She ran into the Gym and ran to sit next to her best friend, Tasha, in the 4th Grade line. "Hey Lauren! Made it just in time! in one more minute, we're gonna go in!" Lauren's best friend, Tasha, exclaimed. "Huh? 1 more minute? But, it should only be 6:55, what's goin' on?" Lauren asked with a clueless look. "Wha? Lauren, Daylights Savings Time is over, if you haven't noticed!!" Tasha yelled, pointing to the clock on 1 of the Gyms walls. It was 7:44, in 1 more minute, it would definately be time to go in. "WHAT IN HECK?!?!" Lauren yelled, "My Grandma Messed Up My Clock!!" Tasha just laughed out loud. "You better ask your dad to fix it next time! Hah!" Tasha laughed. Lauren made an annoyed look and threw her backpack on Tasha's head. "OW!!!" Tasha exclaimed in pain, "Ok, Ok! It ain't funny!! I Got It!!" Lauren laughed this time. "Well, it's quite alright anyways, I got to the Gym, didn't I?" Lauren asked, still laughing. Tasha rubbed the spot Lauren hit her on and answered, "Yeah, that's true, but You-Know-Who didn't come here to the Gym today!!" Laurens eyes went BIG, the guy she liked SO much didn't go to the Gym?! "WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!?!?!" Lauren yelled, "ASH CAME NEVER CAME?!?!?!" Tasha flinched and nodded. Lauren was fuming, she really liked that boy and she loved to see him every morning. "Um..... Uh... Lauren, you'll see him at Recess and P.E, ya know!" Tasha exclaimed nervously, with a sweatdrop. Lauren looked at her and responded, "We can't at P.E, remember? There's a Magic Show at that time...." Tasha's eyes turned into dots. "O-Oh yeah..." she said.


  Just then, one of the coaches blew the whistle loudly. The first graders, boys and girls walked out of the Gym. "Tasha, I thought I was the one with the bad memory...." Lauren said with a sweatdrop. Tasha sweatdroppped, too and said, "That's funny.. I was just thinking the same thing...." All the first and second graders were out, so it was the third graders walking out now. Tasha and Lauren got up, Tasha pulled her backpack onto her back and Lauren got her roller backpack ready to go. All the third graders were now out and the fourth graders were walking out now. Tasha and Lauren and the rest of the line began to walk out. "I just don't know why we have to miss P.E..... We're a bit to old for Magic Shows now if they haven't noticed!!" Tasha exclaimed angerily. Lauren patted her shoulder. "You know... I haven't ever seen a Magic Show before so I think this might be... A little entertaining...." Lauren talked, grinning. They both talked as they walked, then they walked into the school building. They weren't aloud to talk as they walked in, so they stopped.


  Tasha and Lauren walked into a classroom, and Lauren took a quick peek into the classroom next to theirs. The boy she liked so much was unpacking in that room. She blushed to herself and ran into the classroom right next door to his. She put her backpack onto of a desk that was obviously hers, opened the zipper, and began unpacking. Tasha was unpacking on the desk in front of Laurens. Another girl walked into the classroom, she wore the exact same shirt as Lauren! She put her backpack on top of the desk next to Laurens and they both looked at each other. They both laughed. "We finally wear them at the same time, L.P!" Lauren laughed. "Yeah! And you finally remembered, L.N!" the girl laughed. Another girl walked in and put her backpack onto the desk next to Tashas and Laurens. "Hey Lizzy!" Lauren exclaimed. The girl turned to Lauren. "Huh? What is it, Lauren N?" the girl, Lizzy asked. "Can I meet you and Lauren P. (A.K.A. L.P.) at my house tomorrow? My Grandma can take us to a Summer Carnival near my old house!" Lauren exclaimed happily. "Sure, that sounds fun!" Lizzy exclaimed happily as well. "I think that'll most definately be fun!" Lauren P. said, smiling. "What about me?!" Tasha asked in a yell. Lauren N. turned to her. "You already know you're coming, Tasha! Jeez, you think I'd leave you out?" Lauren N. asked, arching an eyebrow. Tasha sweatdropped. "Heh... I-I forgot...." she said, laughing nervously. Lizzy, Lauren N, and Lauren P. sighed with a sweatdrop. They all finished unpacking and put their backpacks away. Then Math Class started.


  It was after Lunch, after Recess, and Language Class had just ended. It was supposed to be time for P.E, but instead, it was time for the Magic Show. Lauren N. went to the bathroom, and her class left without her. When she got out of the bathroom and saw that all the Fourth Grade classrooms were empty, she got nervous. She didn't remember if the Magic Show was in the Gym or in the Lunch Room. She decided to check the Gym first. She walked towards the Gym, then she saw an open door. She looked in and saw a man in a cape looking around everywhere. She stepped into the room and asked, "Excuse me? What are you looking for?" The man jumped up and turned to her. "Oh! I'm sorry, I was just looking for my top hat, have you seen it?" the man asked. He wore glasses, a white Tuxedo looking clothing and a black cape. Lauren shook her head. The man thought for a second, then it snapped. "I remember now! I left it in the truck!" he exclaimed, when she was about to leave, he turn back around and asked, "Excuse me, but would you wait for me? I don't know where to Lunch Room is and I'd need some help...." "Ok, I'll wait." Lauren answered with a smile. "Thank You! Now, I'll be right back!" the man exclaimed as he left.


  Lauren walked around the room, looking at the mans stuff. She continued to look around, when a book caught her eye. She walked over to it, and the cover read, "THE CLOW." She wondered what kind of book it was, so she took the book and opened it. It was rather weird, there weren't any pages, just cards. The cards were face down, so she couldn't tell which ones they were. But on the back of the cards, it had a sun and a moon, and the color of the cards were yellow and orange. She was curious about what kind they were, so she picked up the first card and turned it over. She gasped when she saw what was on it. It read "THE TAILLOW." Her eyes widened, this was one of her favorite Pokemon, but this was one of those cards. This was really weird consittering that normal Pokemon Cards say "POKEMON" on the back. She took the next card out and sure enough, it was the last evolutionary form of Taillow. "T-The Swellow...." Lauren whispered to herself.


  Just then, the symbol on the back of the cards appeared just below Laurens feet! There was a Big Wind! and all the cards were being blown away! Lauren grabbed at them, trying to grab them all because she knew she'd be in trouble with that man! When the wind died out, Lauren only held four cards. The Taillow, The Swellow, The Grovyle, and The Absol. Lauren was on the floor, panting. That was not an ordinary book, and those weren't normal Pokemon Cards!! She continued panting, then she saw something coming out of the cover of the book! She flinched and moved away from it. A small Absol with wings floated out of the book. It opened its eyes and it said, "Hello!" Lauren blinked, her eyes were dots. "Wha...." she asked herself. Was that thing real? Or did she bump her head harder than she thought that morning? She went a little closer to the Absol. "Umm.... Hi..." she answered. The little Absol flew over to her and smiled. "Hi! I'm Guardian Absol of the Seal!" it exclaimed. Lauren blinked and responded, "Uh... Hi, I'm Lauren N..... Guardian Absol of the Seal? That's little bit to long to say, so... How about I call you Blaze?" The Absol nodded happily. "I like that name!" it exclaimed happily.  It floated to the ground and looked at the book. Its eyes went into dots. "WHAT?!?!?! WHERE HAVE ALL THE POKEMON CARDS GONE?!?!?!" it exclaimed, not happily that's for sure. It looked around everywhere, then it flew over to Lauren. "Uh... Lauren? Do you know where the cards went?" Blaze asked. Lauren put her hand behind her head and sweatdropped. "Umm.... You mean these?" she asked, handing him the four cards she had. Blaze took them and looked at them, then he turned back to Lauren. "Yes! These are Pokemon Cards! Now, where are the other ones?" Blaze asked happily. Lauren kept her hand behind her head and her sweatdrop got bigger and went down 2 inches. "Umm.... I said the name of one of those Bird-type cards... Then all of the other cards blew away.... Heheheheheheh..." Lauren laughed nervously. Blaze laughed, too, then he stopped and yelled, "WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!"


  Blaze had been muttering curses and walking around trying to think for the last two minutes. Blaze quickly turned around to face Lauren and said, "You released the cards, right? Well, now you have to catch them all over again!!" Lauren jumped in her spot on the floor, then she got up and answered in a yell, "What Do You mean I Have To Catch Them All Over Again?! I Don't Know Anything About These Pokemon Cards!! And I'm Only In The Fourth Grade!!" "WELL YOU LET THEM OUT!!! YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO CATCH THEM OVER AGAIN BECAUSE YOU'RE THE ONE WHO LET THEM OUT!!!!!" Blaze yelled angerily. Lauren didn't like to yell to much, so she decided to end this arguement. "Ok!! Fine!! I'll Catch The Cards!!" "Good! Now, you're gonna need a staff....." Blaze said, he flew over to the book. Out of the books key hole, came a key with the head of a Skarmory. It flew over to Lauren, and once again, the symbol on the back of the cards appeared under her feet. "Oh Key of Clow, This girl by the name Lorenna has agreed to your contract.... RELEASE!!!" yelled Blaze. Lauren grabbed the key, and it got bigger and turned into the staff that Blaze was talking about. It had the head of a Skarmory, but it had a red jewel on the forehead of it, and little red jewels all over it, but only one jewel on the actual silver Skarmory head. Lauren pulled it toward her, and she looked around at it. "Wow! This is really beautiful!" she said out loud.  "That is your staff," Blaze declared, the staff turned straight back into the key, "The words will come to you when you want to release it into the wand...."


  Just then, they heard footsteps coming from down the hall! Blaze hid himself and the book under a table. Lauren quickly put the key on a chain and put it around her neck as a necklace, it wasn't showing, it was inside her shirt. The man from before stepped in. "I found my hat! Now, will you show me the way to the Lunch Room?" he asked. Laurens eyes turned into dots, so did Blazes. "Umm... Sure! Go on ahead of me... I need to do something real quick....." Lauren said with a sweatdrop. "Hmm? Oh, Um, ok." the man said, the he walked into the hall. Lauren and Blaze sighed. Lauren opened her book bag and said, "Hurry!! Put the book and yourself in it!!" "WHAT?! You think I could fit in-WHOA!!" Blaze exclaimed. Lauren had already put the book in, she just grabbed Blaze nad pushed him into the bag. "Are you going to help me or not??" the Magician man asked from outside. "Yes Yes!! Hang on!!" Lauren exclaimed, then she ran out of the room. "Follow me!" She walked towards the Lunch Room, which was right in front of her classroom. When they got there, all the students were talking, and all the teachers were getting frustrated. "Oh thank you! And your name is?" the Magician asked. "Oh, my name is Lauren! Please, hurry and go! The teachers look like they're gonna blow up!!" Lauren exclaimed. "Oh! Right! Thanks again!" the Magician exclaimed as he ran onto the stage. Lauren sighed and walked into the Lunch Room. She walked over to Lizzy and Lauren P, and sat in the middle of them. "L.N! Where have you been?!" L.P. asked with a clueless look, Lizzy had the same look. "Let's just say.... I was with the Magician...." L.N. answered, winking. Both eyes chuckled, but just as the Magician walked out, he tripped. He looked behind himself to find a big purple animal Pokemon called Loudred. His eyes widened as the younger evolution of it, Whismur, and the older evolution of it, Exploud, walking from behind the stage. He got up quickly, then he stopped noticing something, he gasped. "WHAT?! These are the Pokemon Cards from my Book!!" he exclaimed in his head, "Wait!! That Girl!! She Released Them!! It'll be hard for her, not knowing much about the cards.... But something tells me she'll manage!"


  Back with L.P, Lizzy, and L.N, L.N's bookbag began to move. She took a peek in and Blaze came flying out! "I SENCE A POKEMON CARD!!" he yelled. He flew back to the ground in front of L.N. Everyone was staring, and all of the teachers fainted, a bunch of the Students fainted, and the Magician hid behind a table. Only Tasha, Lizzy, and L.P were still awake. "A Whismur, Loudred and Exploud! Those are hard to find enless you go to Rustboro!" Lizzy exclaimed. "Stay here, Lizzy, all three of you!! These aren't ordinary Pokemon....." Lauren N. said, taking out her key. "You should really listen to Lauren N! She's got to catch these cards!!" Blaze exclaimed, flying off. Lauren N. walked a little bit closer to the three evolutions. "The words will come to you, Lauren N!!" Blaze yelled, he was at the top of the stage, waiting to see it L.N needs help. Lauren N.  put the key in front of her, and it was floating! She had let it go, and it didn't fall! "Oh key which hides the power of the dark, Reveal your true form before me, I, Lorenna, Command you under our contract... RELEASE!!!" Lauren N. exclaimed, the symbol appeared under her feet once more, and the key released into the staff. She grabbed the staff and took out the cards she had with her. "Umm.... Maybe this'll work!" Lauren exclaimed, throwing the card in front of her, it floated and twirled round and round, "Grovyle! Release!!" The staff's point hit the card, and the Grovyle Spirit in the card was released! It shot out and used Leaf Blade on the Whismur! Since it was a card, it wasn't struck down easily. The Grovyle Card looked to Lauren N. for directions. "Another Leaf Blade attack to the Whismur!!" she exclaimed, pointing to the Whismur. The Grovyle obeyed and shot out of the Whismur again. It used Leaf Blade again and the Whismur went to the gronud with Xs at eyes. "Yeah! L.N! Capture It!!" Blaze exclaimed. Lauren ran forward and was about four feet away from the fainted Whismur. "Return To The Form You Were Meant To Be In...... POKEMON CARD!!" Lauren yelled, she hit the staff up and a card appeared. The Whismur Spirit turned into pale pink energy and went into the card at the end of the staff. The Whismur was gone, it was now a card. The card floated over into Lauren N's hand.


  "One down, two to go!" she exclaimed, as she took out another card, "Swellow Card! Wind Attack!!" The Swellow Spirit flew out of the card and used Wing Attack on the Loudred. The Loudred was pushed back into the wall, and it had anime swirls in its eyes. Lauren ran to where the Loudred was and did the same, "Return to the form you were meant to be in... POKEMON CARD!!" The same thing that happened to the Whismur Card happened to the Loudred Card, it turned into the card and flew over into Lauren N's hand.


  "One More!! Let's Go! Absol!!" she exclaimed, releasing the Absol Card. It shot forth at the  Exploud and used Slash. That took one forth of its HP away, Absol used another Slash, so now Exploud only had half HP! "Use Perish Song!!" Lauren N. exclaimed. The Absol Card did use Perish Song, then they were both to faint in three turns. Exploud used Hyper Voice, Absol dodged it and used Swords Dance. That was one turn down, two more now. It tried to use Stomp on The Absol, but the Absol used Double Team. One more turn to go!! It used Metal Sound, and this was one of the few attacks that actually hit The Absol! The Absol attacked with Razor Wind, getting it only a little bit of HP left. The Perish Song kicked in, the Exploud fainted, and so did The Absol Card. The Absol Card returned to its Holder, and Lauren N. went to the Exploud. "Return to the form you were meant to be in.... POKEMON CARD!!!" she exclaimed, the card turned back into the card and went into her hand with the other cards. "You Did It!!" Blaze exclaimed, flying back down to Lauren N. Lizzy, L.P, and Tasha walked over to Lauren N. with widened eyes. "You're a Cardcaptor like Sakura? That's SO Cool!" Lizzy exclaimed. L.P, Tasha, and L.N. sweatdropped, Sakura was once a Cardcaptor, she's now the Card Mistress. But her cards used to be called Clow Cards and now they're Sakura Cards, these cards on the other hand, are called Pokemon Cards. "Ummm... Yeah, thanks Lizzy... But seriously, this IS pretty cool! I mean, Pokemon Cards! It'll totally be hard to figure out which Pokemon are Pokemon Cards when I start on my Journey in two weeks!" L.N. exclaimed happily. "Hey! You're gonna start in two weeks, too? So am I! Even Lauren P, and Lizzy are, too!" Tasha exclaimed happily. We all screamed excitedly, that woke almost everybody up. "Oops..." L.N. said quietly, hiding the cards and Blaze hiding in her bag again.


  The Magic Show had been resumed, and it was a great success! When the Magician left, L.N, L.P, Lizzy and Tasha were all relieved. Lauren N. told them about how it was his book, and that he didn't know she had to book, they had to be VERY careful from now on. They all walked back to class, and packed up so they could leave for home, the four girls all would walk to L.N's house to talk about what they'll do when they set out on their Pokemon Journeys in two weeks. None of them will be prepared from what'll be coming when they do set out on their journeys.....
