Hello, everyone, I'm Dragon's Blaze. So on New Years Day, I posted this story on the other fanfic site. After four months I have decided to post the first four chapters, counting the prologue, here followed by the rest in groups of three. Now this story was mostly born out of a desire to twist overused cliche on their head and play around with them. So the first one I thought about playing with as you could guess snowballed into something I want to say I'm proud of. Unless you all think it isn't with it. Anyway, I kept you long enough on with the story.  

Serena. That was the name Grace had picked for her child. It came as a surprise when she found out she was pregnant. It certainly explained why she started throwing up in the morning. She had half a mind to yell at her lover for knocking her up, but the thought soon turned into a whirlwind of emotions. First was fear at the thought of being a mother, then anger at the man who impregnated so suddenly. Finally, the emotion that surprised her was joy. She was going to be a mother and she couldn't wait to teach her child how to be a Rhyhorn racer just like her

That was all months ago. It was only a day ago that Grace had had her little girl and already she was looking for a new home. There was nothing wrong with Lumiose City, well maybe if one doesn't count her ex, but Rhyhorn racing training would be a bit of a problem within the urbanized environment. Plus, she always pictured a nice little place in the country to raise her child.

The sound of wing beats was heard as a tiny bird Pokémon flew by the window of her hospital room. "Fletching," the Fletching chirped as the tiny robin Pokémon jumped on the edge of the bed. Grace gave the small bird Pokémon a smile before she petted it.

Grace showed the small robin an image of the house she had been considering. "What do you think about moving to Vaniville Town, Fletchling? It's nice, small, and there's plenty of open space for you to fly.

The robin like Pokémon jumped a bit and landed on Grace's shoulder, excited for a pleasant change of pace. "Fletch, Fletchling!" The tiny bird chirped happily

Grace scratched the bird under its chin, a smile on her face, "That settles it then. We're moving to Vaniville." Grace couldn't wait to take Serena with her to their new home.

Her thoughts on her new home and family were soon interrupted as the Doctor walked in with a concerned look on his face, "Ms. Yvonne, I'm afraid I have some terrible news.

Grace turned to the doctor in alarm, her mind pushing away thoughts of a happy life in the country. "What is it, Doctor?" Her thoughts started to form into a panic. "Is Serena alright?" There hadn't been any problems with her that she knew of the last time she'd seen her.

The tiny robin Pokémon sensed her mistress's worry and spoke up, hoping it wasn't anything serious, "Fletch, Fletchling?"

The doctor looked away as he tried to find words for what he was going to say. "I'm sorry, Ms. Yvonne but your newborn daughter..." The doctor stopped as he didn't know how to continue. Steeling his nerves, the doctor finished with an apologetic tone, "We don't believe she will make it past the day."

Grace's face fell as she heard those words. She froze up as her mind raced with all of this. Fletchling's eyes watered as she heard this. The little bird Pokémon couldn't believe what she was hearing herself. "Fletchling..." The little Pokémon was almost as heartbroken as her trainer.

Finally, Grace overcame her shock as the weight of the news hit her heart. She was just ready to be a mother, and now... "There has to be something you can do! Oh Arceus, please tell me there's something you can do!" Grace begged, tears forming in her eyes.

The doctor looked down, not wanting to meet her eyes. Telling a mother that her child was dying was never easy, "I am sorry, but there is nothing we can do."
