This isn't a chapter. This is the place where it all begins.

Verity Roberts is an insecure, friendless orphan - an orphan with a great secret, and a great dream. A secret she will never reveal - and a dream that will never become a reality...

Until it does. A visit to Professor Sycamore's lab and a meeting with a pokemon changes Verity's life. Finally, her dream has come true - she's going on a journey.

But if her dream is no longer a dream, it's only a matter of time before her secret is no longer a secret... and then, will her newfound friends trust her? Will they even look at her?

Meanwhile, a new danger looms, just over the horizon, threatening to engulf Kalos in a shadow darker and more terrible than ever before. And the most terrifying part? Only Verity, with ample help from her friends and mentors, can save the region... and the world.

New and old friends. New and old foes. A journey of unity, courage, trust, and friendship. And most importantly - a new adventure.


This is a pokemon fanfiction taking place in the Kalos region. I do not own the Pokemon franchise, and I own none of the characters except my OCs. I also do not own any of the settings. I repeat - the original anime characters, the settings, the franchise belongs to POKEMON.
