This is slightly AU-ish I suppose…I tried to keep it so that it only did things that were possible through the Pokemon realm xD

It's kind of a silly idea, so don't kill me! shot

Anyways, so here you go.

Disclaimer: I no own teh Pokeymanzes.

"YES! I can't believe how easy that was!" yelled Satoshi as they left the gym with his new badge. It shone in his fingers, reflecting the sunlight above, although, if you would have asked Satoshi, he would probably claim it was as valuable as the sun itself.

"That's great! I'm really happy for you, Satoshi," said Takeshi warmly.

"Yeah, but would you please stop bragging about it? You've been going on like that for the past five minutes now," giggled Hikari.

"I'm sorry guys; I'm just so excited!"

"We know," they chorused.

Yup. Just another normal day in the life of Satoshi-tachi. Get to a town; win a badge; maybe shop for that new Poketch application.

But, little did they suspect what was to come…

"Alright guys, you ready to get going?"

"Yup, sounds good!"

Satoshi-tachi made their way through the city, trudging on to new adventures. They soon reached the edge of town, near the Illustrious Forest1. It had almost an eerie aura to it; when you went near it you could feel a chill run down your spine and a sense of fear would shake your bones. Satoshi, being the bold one that he is, plodded right on toward the forest without worry.

"Ah, Satoshi?" said Hikari cautiously.

"Hm? What is it, Hikari?" he said, a peculiar look residing on his face.

"Well…I don't know why, but I just don't think it's such a good idea to go in there…" she said nervously.

"Yeah, Satoshi, I feel the same way. I don't like the feeling that this forest is giving off," Takeshi worried.

"Aw, come on guys! We have to get through the forest in order to get to Topaz City2!"

"But…well…I…I suppose you're right…" Hikari frowned.

"Alright! Then let's go!" he shouted.

Hikari hesitated and hung back as the other two marched on. Takeshi noticed the missing member of their party, and turned back to make sure all was well.

"Well, come on, Hikari," Takeshi said, holding out his hand.

Hikari came, cautiously, but she came nonetheless. She walked slowly into the forest, dreading whatever it was that would make her feel so frightened.

They had only been in the forest for a few minutes when they heard a strange noise in the distance.

"H-hey, g-g-guys…what…w-what was that…?" Hikari trembled.

"Hey, I bet it's a really strong pokemon!" Ah, Satoshi, you and your simple-minded ways.

"I don't know, it sure didn't sound like any pokemon that I've ever heard of," said the breeder warily.

"Hey, that means that it must be a really rare one! Come on, guys!" Satoshi ran off, leaving the other two in the dust.

Takeshi, seeing that there wasn't any use in trying to reason with Satoshi once his mind was made up, ran ahead as well, leaving Hikari to decide. Which is it, stay here where there could be hungry monsters hiding in the trees? Or go on ahead to a potentially dangerous situation with those that you see as protective older brothers?

Naturally, Hikari decided it was best not to get lost. She ran on ahead as well.

"Hey, wait up you guys!"

She sprinted on, already fairly far behind the other two. She could still see Takeshi's light blue backpack amidst all the dark, and she followed the bobbing blue beacon to where she might be even a little safer than getting lost in a dark forest by herself.

Suddenly, her leader stopped, giving her time to catch up. As she got closer, she could hear the strange noise again, but this time louder, and more distinct.

"GRAAAAAAAAAAW!"

Hikari felt a shiver run through her entire body at the sound, but ran as fast as her legs could carry her, hand on Piplup's Pokeball, just in case.

When she finally caught up, she was so exhausted that she fell on the ground to take a breather. She looked up and saw the wiser of her two traveling companions, and decided it was best to see what the situation was.

"T-Takeshi…pant…what's…pant going on? pant pant"

Takeshi gave no answer, for he was enthralled at the sight before him. Hikari looked to where he was staring, hoping to see what he was so fascinated with.

She looked over and found a sight more beautiful than anything she had ever seen in her life. There was what looked like a large bird standing on the ground a few feet away. It had no particular color; it had a rainbow tint that was changing constantly. It was perked up, glorious wings spread wide to try to frighten its challenger. Too bad it didn't know that Satoshi didn't even know the meaning of fear when it came to new pokemon.

"Hey, I challenge you to a battle!"

Rather than comply, the strange bird flapped its wings furiously, kicking up a large dust storm. Before Hikari knew what was happening, the bird had flown toward her, eyes glowing red. The world slowly started to become fuzzy. She could see Takeshi and Satoshi fading away before her eyes. She screamed for help, but they didn't hear or see her, for no sound came out of her mouth. Hikari's body collapsed and her two companions rushed over to her.

Hikari found herself flying through a dark tunnel. She was frightened and wanted to go back to her friends, but the force of whatever was driving her through…wherever she was…was too great. Suddenly, everything went black.

Hikari slowly opened her eyes. She stared up at a ceiling. She sat up and looked around. She was lying in a queen size bed, and there were many homey things lying around the small bedroom she was in. There was a laundry basket sitting on the floor on the opposite side of the room full of clean laundry, folded and ready to be put away. There was a small bathroom attached to the room, but Hikari couldn't see many details from where she was in the bed.

Wh…where am I? she wondered. What happened to the forest? And that strange bird pokemon…?

Hikari came to the assumption that they had been staying with someone in town and had had a nightmare. With a sigh of relief, she got up from the bed. Wait…these aren't my pajamas… she thought as she looked down at the clothing she was wearing. Well, maybe I borrowed some from whoever lives here.

She trudged over to the door and left the room, going to find at least SOMEONE that she knew. She walked into what appeared to be the kitchen. She saw someone standing by the stove, cooking breakfast. She walked over to thank them, assuming it was the person who had allowed her to stay there. She tapped him on the shoulder in order to grab his attention.

He grunted as a reply and continued what he was doing. Hikari, out of politeness, sat at the table and waited. After a few minutes, the man turned around and Hikari got a good look at his face.

Wh…what the? That looks like…Shinji! But…he's not that old… Maybe his father? Could it be that we stayed with his family or something? Eyaaaaa…I must have really hit my head…

"What is it?" he asked grumpily. "You know I've got to work at the gym today and I don't have time to do anything for you right now."

Gym? Shinji's father is a gym leader? "Um, I'm sorry, I didn't know," she said

He swiftly turned around and rapidly walked towards her. He leaned down and looked deep into her eyes furiously.

"E…EH? Wh-what are you doing?" she asked nervously.

"I'm trying to figure out what the heck is wrong with you!" he snapped. He put his hand under her chin and examined her other features. "I've been telling you that I have to work this Saturday for the past week." Week?

"Hn…you don't seem sick," he muttered. "Maybe you've wised up and fallen for another man." He laughed sarcastically. Hikari's face became more puzzled than it was before, but for fear of irking anything else from him, she had kept her mouth shut. However, he was a clever man and could see her expression. He slammed his hands down on the table, making everything upon it tremble.

"What the heck is WRONG with you? Hello, it's me! You know, your husband? That idiot guy you married? Shinji? Ringing any bells?"

SHINJI? My…my HUSBAND?

Hikari jumped up from the table and sprinted back down the hall, trying to find some trace of what she once knew. This…this has to be…I have to be still dreaming! No way I would ever marry him! Or anyone for that matter, I'm only ten!

She reached the bedroom and ran into the bath adjacent to it. She spotted what she was hunting for: the mirror.

She looked into it only to find another woman staring back at her. A woman in her early or mid twenties, with midnight blue hair that reached down just below her shoulders, which led down to a fully developed chest; not that of a ten-year-old.

"This…this can't be happening!" she whispered. I…I know! Maybe that pokemon hypnotized me! That would explain the eyes glowing red…yeah! It must have been a psychic pokemon, and I'm lying on the ground in the forest, sleeping next to Takeshi and Satoshi.

Shinji followed Hikari close behind and reached the bathroom to find her staring into the mirror, tears in her eyes. For some reason, once she saw Shinji, she knew that this was real.

And at that moment, Hikari lost consciousness.

The stuff with #'s next to them are things I made up. They're not real 8D
