Starting your Pokémon journey late was never part of the plan - neither was leaving Professor Oak's lab with an Umbreon who barely tolerates you, or rescuing a small army of Pokémon from a forest fire on your very first night. But that's exactly how it begins. What follows is a journey through gyms, leagues, and hard-won battles, carried forward by a team that chose her just as much as she chose them. Along the way, a secret she's fought to keep hidden threatens to unravel everything - and the one person she least wants to worry is the one who keeps finding her anyway. A story about stubborn hearts, unlikely bonds, and learning that letting someone in isn't the same as losing your footing. Author's Note: Hey everyone! Thank you so much for reading this little story from start to finish - it genuinely means a lot. I do want to apologize for how rushed the ending feels, especially the Johto arc. This story was always meant to be short and sweet rather than a full multi-arc journey, so some things got wrapped up faster than they deserved. I appreciate your patience with it! If the response is good I may revisit certain moments and give them a little more breathing room. Thanks again for coming along for the ride - it was a fun one. 💛

First off, this story just came to my mind.. This is my VERY FIRST STORY!! So please no rude comments... But if you want you can tell me what to improve on it or what to add... {Disclaimer} I DON'T OWN THE PICTURES I DON'T OWN POKÉMON I ESPECIALLY DON'T OWN YOU!! Enjoy!!
