Those were dark times back then, back in Hoenn. That freak earthquake up from Mt. Chimney managed to reach my small town of Littleroot. Nobody expected it, not even my mother. At the time, I was a budding, young Pokemon Trainer travelling the region. I wish now, that I had waited just a few more days before I started my quest. When I heard on the PokeNews channel that Littleroot had been completely destroyed, I called upon my Swellow and immediately flew home. Charred wood, burnt trees, the sight was horrific. My father was waiting for me, dying where he lay, trapped by debris. I ran over and tried to move it, but it was no use. "T-Toby... Is that you...?" He asked in short gasps.
"Yes dad, I'm here. Where is mum? W-where's Bonnie?" I was fighting the tears now.
"They....She's gone."

I nearly fainted right there and then, it was all too much. I gathered my thoughts and managed to croak the word "Mother?"

At that point, my little sister, Bonnie, ran up to me, seemingly unharmed. She could not speak, nor did she have to.
"Your mother wanted you... T-to have this..." My father unclenched his fist and out dropped a PokeBall. "She said... to only use this... in times of need..." I couldn't believe it, my mother, the one who had taught me the ways of Pokemon, dead?
My father was closing his eyes now. "Dad? Dad! Can you hear me? Don't leave us here! You can't die!"
Bonnie began to weep beside my leg. "G-good bye Toby, you l-look after your sister now..."
And with that, he faded.
I slowly grasped the ash covered PokeBall from the ground.



It was my mother's wish that I protect this Pokemon. This was one wish, that was certainly going to come true!
