{On hiatus} Pokemon; A Johto Adventure

Prologue

*Lyra's P.O.V.*

I can remember it so vividly. I recall the day I found love, and my love was for Gold. It all happened eight years ago when we were seven...

Daddy, who is better known as Professor Elm, allowed Me to play in the puddles outside with Gold after a rainstorm had hit New Bark Town. While splashing around in what seemed to us like a vast ocean, a blue Pokemon bounced in water a short distance away from us. The adorable Pokemon, whom I later learned was an Azurill, was sitting on its tail, bouncing away.

"It's so cute," I squealed.

Gold looked estatic. "I've never seen that Pokemon before!" His beautiful yellow eyes sparkled as they looked into mine. "Do you want it, Lyra?" I nodded. The energetic boy took grasp of my hand and escorted me to the small mouse-like creature. "We have to be quiet," Gold whispered.

The blue Pokemon didn't notice us sneak up to it. Gold pounced, grabbing the Azurill. The small monster struggled for a while in his grasp, before giving in. Gold went through the pocket in his shorts and revealed a ripe oran berry. He handed it to me. "If you want it, you have to gain its trust."

I nodded, signing that I understood and held the berry close to the Pokemon's face. At first, the Azurill declined the berry in fear, but soon nibbled on it. When Gold let the blue Pokemon go, it bounced to me and cuddled with my leg. It was my first real encounter with a Pokemon, and it actually like me.
