Description
Kiki stood at the start of the path way, leaning against the side of the fence. A head of her stretched a path, bordered on either side by tall grass that had been dried by the sun. She could see the path went a ways before the grass eventually ate it. Kiki sighed, and shook her head, she was apprehensive about going. She lifted her right foot, and put it down on the path, just beyond the fence. She repeated with her left foot, going out farther than she had with her right. Good, one small step at a time. Just keep walking. Ignore the noises in the grass, it’s just the grass swaying in the wind. Just keep walking. One foot in front of the other.

she was so involved in ignoring everything, that she failed to notice the large shadow, and the thing that caused the large shadow until she walked right into it. Kiki fell down on her ass, her small paws immediately rubbing the place on her nose that had come in contact with the thing. She blinked her eyes, and looked up regretting the action instantly. Staring back down at her was a large pokemon, one much larger then herself. Kiki knew what the pokemon was her mother had shown her pictures of a lot of other pokemon. The thing she had ran into was a Claydol, a large, ancient, intelligent pokemon. It had a ring of eyes that went around it’s large black head, and two symbols on it’s body. They usually float above the ground using their psychic powers, but this one for some reason was standing on the ground.

The Claydol turned around, and got an almost sympathetic look on it’s face, which given it’s facial structure, didn’t look all that sympathetic. It extended one of it’s arms down to Kiki, offering to help her up. Kiki gladly took the offered arm, hauling herself up. She did not know what to do next. She didn’t want to go on, it would be rude, but at the same time she felt anxious just standing around, “So, um, sorry for bumping into you… Thank you for helping me up..” Kiki trailed off, not knowing what to say next.

"my name is Trouble." The Claydol said, out of the blue. Kiki was startled at the voice, it sounded… Young. Like a child’s. She didn’t expect that, nor the fact the Claydol was named Trouble.

"that’s an odd name, who would name their child that?" Kiki said, confused, "Well, anyways my name is Kiki. It’s nice to meet you Trouble."

If Trouble could, he would have smiled, “My parents believed I was going to bring them nothing but trouble. So that’s my name, and that’s why I’m standing out here… I’m sorry for being out here, I shouldn’t be out here.” Trouble’s voice sounded worried, almost sad.

Kiki shook her head, she felt bad for the kid. The kid had no place to go, not ever his family wanted him. She sighed, softly though, “Well, you could come with me… I’m supposed to go on this journey thing… It’s long and complicated, but I don’t have anybody with me at this current point in time… So, I guess you could join me, if you wanted.”

"Really? You’d….. You’d accept me? And take me along with you? Really and truly?" Trouble’s voice sounded excited, but at the same time worried.

"Yeah, really and truly. Come on, I’m supposed to head to the next town over to pick up a box, then I have to head back to Pallet town. You can be my first team member." Kiki said, starting off again. Trouble let out an excited "Squee" and followed behind happily.

The rest of the trip was rather uneventful, the other Claydol stayed out of their path, and the wild Hypno that the pair spotted in the path quickly ran into the tall grass, staring at Kiki and Trouble as they passed. The finally reached Viridian City as the sun was setting, staining the sky deep orange that slowly morphed into a deep purple as the first few stars pushed their way into the sky, casting their twinkling lights down upon the world below. Kiki sighed, she didn’t feel like sleeping at the Pokemon Center, which offered a free place to stay overnight. No, tonight she felt like sleeping under the stands with her new friend. So, she found a tree that was on the outskirts of the city, and climbed up it’s trunk and onto a branch. She laid down, her back against the trunk of the tree and her stubby little legs laying on the branch. Down beneath her Trouble set himself down on the ground with a small thud, and took the same position as Kiki, back against the trunk and legs out in front on the ground. In that position, together with her new friend and having a better, more confident feeling about this journal of hers, Kiki slowly slipped into the deep veil of sleep.

High above the sleeping pair, the god of Gods Arceus, in his human form, watched the pair sleep from his palace in space. Next to him, also in her human form, stood Ho-oh, the keeper of the Heaven Gates. Arceus sighed, and turned to Ho-oh, “This is just the beginning. Keep the gates open, for I fear the worst.” He said to Ho-oh, who just simply nodded and walked off, slowly fading into the background. Arceus turned back to the screen where Kiki and Trouble were seen sleeping, “Keep your spirits high, and do not doubt the friends you are about to make, little one. For not even I can tell how this journey of yours will end.”
