Author Note: Don't own Pokemon and never will. So, a while ago I had a Pokemon story up but I took it down because it was too cliche. Yes, I think I tried too hard to keep it in Pokemon style so it was basically very cliche, a basic character starting her journey, meeting friends...you get the idea. The only thing special about her was her ability to speak to Pokemon and her shiny Totodile (based off my starer in SoulSilver-screamed my head off when I got it). So yeah, I scrapped my old story but I still want to write a Pokemon FanFiction. So here you go, a new story from me. Hopefully it's not cliche like the last one. Since I freaking love Lugia...well, you'll see where it goes...Enjoy!

PROLOGUE

My earliest memory is of falling...and flying.

When I was a small girl, I was playing on a cliff overlooking the sea. My mother had told me countless times not to play there, but on this day, I decided to do so anyway. I chased my Vaporeon friend around on the cliff, playing tag with him. I was having so much fun, I wasn't paying attention to where I was running. Vaporeon shouted a warning and ran to help, but it was too late.

I fell off the cliff, hurtling to a death in the sea at least fifty feet below.

Out of nowhere, a beautiful Pokemon rushed to my rescue. Lugia, guardian of the sea. I fell onto his back and he carried me back to safety. I slid off his sleek back and looked up at me rescuer in wonder. Lugia was well known in my home on Shimuti Island. I never thought I would meet him.

And yet...here he was.

Lugia regarded me with warm brown eyes. You should be more careful, little one, he said in his deep, beautiful voice. Go play where it is safe.

Too overwhelmed to speak, I simply nodded, looking up at Lugia with wide eyes.

The guardian smiled at me, the flew away and dove back into the sea. I ran back home with my mother's Vaporeon and told my parents what had happened. Lugia is a revered Pokemon on the island. Everyone thought I was special for the great guardian of the seas to rescue me like that.

All my life, that memory of meeting Lugia remained clear in my head. I wanted to meet Lugia again. He was the most awesome, magestic Pokemon I'd ever met. I learned everything I could about him. He was a powerful Pokemon who lived at the bottom of the sea and could create and calm storms at will.

When I grew up, I decided. I would be a Pokemon Trainer and one day, become strong enough to challenge Lugia to a battle. I would prove to the Sea Guardian that I was strong, and to show him that he was right to save my life.

I'm going to turn ten in a few short days. For me to make it to Professor Elm's lab in Johto in time to pick a starter, I have to leave early.

The whole island gathered to say goodbye. They expect big things from me, the girl chosen by Lugia.

Review! So, did you like? Better than my old, story, I'll give you that. Suggestions and comments are always welcome. And be patient with me if you don't get updates very often-I'm writing two other stories as well. I will do my best, though. Also, I will be going on vacation on July 25th and will be gone for about 2 weeks, so I will not be updating any of my stories during that time. Just keep that in mind.

One last thing...LUGIA FTW!
