Prologue

[Missa]

"Miss, were almost at the Torento Region," said the conductor as he knocked on one of his passenger's doors. This was the room of Missa Kaju, a young women of 18 years who was on her way to become a Pokemon Trainer in the Torento Region. She had decided to take a cruise ship all the way from the Orange Islands to the Torento Region.

Right now though the trip had tired Missa out and she was sleeping in her cabin when the conductor had woken her up, telling her they've be reaching land soon. Missa, yawned as she got up out of the bed and scratched. She was already dressed, so she picked up her things and left her room,"Thanks for coming to get me," she said.

Missa no more then stepped a few feet out of the room, when a young boy came barreling down the hallway,"I've lost my Shinx, and I can't find it anywhere," the boy sobbed. Missa looked at him, he seemed to be a beginning trainer no older then 10 years,"I'll help you find it," Missa told him.

"Oh, thank you," the boy said. "Thank me when we find Shinx," Missa said. Her and the young boy who's name she learnt was Jack hunted around for his missing Shinx, who seemed to have disappeared. "Let's spit up and look," Missa suggested to Jack. "Yea, good idea," he said.

Missa went around with a picture of Jack's Shinx, showing it around to random people hoping they've seen his Shinx. Seemed no one had seen a Shinx, anywhere on the ship.

Missa saw the ship was very close to land. She had to hurry up and find Shinx, fast otherwise she'd be late getting her first Pokemon from the lab. Just then Missa heard some crying coming from over the ship. She looked out onto the water and saw a Shinx floating on top of the water's surface,"Oh my god!" Missa panicked.

Jack came running up,"My Shinx!" He panicked. "Don't worry I'll get Shinx for you," Missa said. She pulled what looked to be a small cube out of her backpack. She pressed a button and the cube formed into a surf board. "Wow!" The boy said as Missa threw the surf board over the side of the ship and dived into the water after Shinx.

"Shinx!" The Shinx panicked barly conious. It looked like it would go under any minute now. Missa got on her surf board and paddled over to the weaken Shinx, as she picked it up placing it on her surf board. She followed along after the ship as it hit land.

Missa took Shinx to Jack and handed it to him,"Oh! Thank you very much, miss," he thanked her as he held his Shinx, tightly in his arms,"The name is Missa, don't mention it," Missa smiled," Just be careful from now on ok," she told him. "Oh, don't worry I will," the boy promised.

Missa then picked up her surf board as she pressed a button on it, turning it back cube shaped and putting it back into her backpack. She went looking for the lab. Thinking of the Pikachu that had saved her life as a kid she had already decided to pick Pichu as her starter. But if she didn't hurry up and get there all starter Pokemon would be taken.

Missa waved down a taxi, and got in. "Where to miss?" The taxi driver who was a man asked her. "The Pokemon lab," Missa said. Missa sit there thinking about her journey ahead as the taxi drove down the road heading towards the lab.

Missa was so deep in thought that she failed to hear the taxi driver say,"Were here miss. Uh..miss?" He said. Missa snapped out of it,"Oh! Sorry! How much do I own you?" She asked the driver. He told her 20 dollars. Missa pulled out her money as she paid him,"Keep the change," she said as she grabbed her bag and got out. After watching the taxi pull away, Missa walked up to the lab's doors and knocked.

Just then the door slid open on it's own,"Uh, helloo!" Missa called into the empty room,"Anyone home?" Just then two Pokemon ran out of the backroom up to her. One was red and white with pluses on it's cheeks and the other was blue and white with minues on it's cheeks.

The two small mouse Pokemon seemed to be playing with each other. They were wrestling and rolling around on the floor, sending shock attacks at each other,"Awww, how cute!" Missa screamed in joy. The two noticed her right away. One said,"Plus?" and the other said,"Min?" In confusion.

Missa walked up to them,"Are you two of the starter Pokemon?" She asked them as she pulled a Pokedex off the table looking them up and finding out there called, Plusle and Minun. The Plusle was a female while the Minun was a male. They both nodded yes.

"I was going to pick Pichu, but maybe I'll go with one of you instead," Missa said wondering who to pick. They both pointed at each other,"You mean take both of you?" Missa asked.

"Plus!"

"Min!"

"Hmm, that could work. I'll have to ask the Professor first," Missa put the Pokedex back on the table deciding only to take it after it's been offered to her. She picked up both Plusle and Minun and went looking for the Professor. She checked in the backroom,"Helloo! Professor, are you here?" She called.
