I

Ever since she was born, Krista wanted to be a hero and a legend.[break][break]
Her parents explored various regions during their youth. In fact, they were rivals who constantly teased and prodded at one another. But somewhere along the way those feelings gave way to love and the pair decided to marry. They settled down in Pallet Town once her mama was confirmed to be pregnant and her mom was freaking out. There was no way that she was going to let her unborn child be born in a forest somewhere or on the back of a Gyarados. [break][break]
When Krista was born, their trainer days came to an end only to be replaced by the highs and lows of being a parent.[break][break]
She was a rambunctious child that wanted to see and do everything possible. Climbing on her parents in the early morning and asking to be told a story about their travels while hugging her Pikachu plushie to her chest. Krista's mind was filled with tales of the Pokedex holders and her parents' own adventures. It wasn't until one morning at breakfast when the little girl was only five years old was her decision made.[break][break]
"I wanna be a trainer!"[break][break]
The Kartana helping her mama cut vegetables halted and it seemed like all movement ceased. With gleaming eyes and a bright smile, Krista's request was met with lessons about Pokemon and how to care for them.

AM

The Ardyn family took up traveling once again. An arsenal of Pokemon at her mothers' disposal following along with them though most had to be retrieved from PCs in different regions. Krista spent most of her young childhood among Pokemon. Researching and learning how to battle with them. Her parents' Pokemon knew her from birth but finding ones of her own was a trial. There were many days when the little girl came home with burn marks or dirt on her clothes. She'd sit curled up to her parents and tell them about the Pokemon she met and failed to catch.[break][break]
Her mama's Kartana and her mom's Xurkitree wanted to go out with her to see what unruly Pokemon may have harmed the then ten year old to Krista's dismay. If she was going to do this, then she had to do it all by herself.[break][break]
Imagine when she came home one day with a Tepig in her arms. It lapped at her face and stared adoringly at her parents who were bewildered. Krista had been gone for three days and in that time, she managed to make a new friend in the forest along with fishing up a Magikarp.[break][break]
"I found another Pokemon too, but he's kinda messy."[break][break]
Her mama nearly had an aneurysm at the amount of sand in the house as her new friend, Palossand came in.

A

There were moments when she laid among the grass surrounding her camp site and stared at the sky. Her Pokemon surrounding her either stargazing, playing amongst themselves or sleeping made her think sometimes. [break][break]
Her parents loved teaching her about Pokemon. They watched as she assembled a larger and larger family all by herself. But if they loved it so much, why did they give it up.[break][break]
But when she turned back to look at them cuddled together underneath the night sky, she found that she preferred her family together and adventuring together rather than alone.[break][break]
After all, not all heroes had tragic stories.
[break][break]

HERO

It was an early morning that her mama received a call from someone. Not a lot of people came by their home and if so, they spoke outside. Mom said that it was so Krista didn't get in the mix of anything that adults wanted to do. Sometimes, she joked that adulting was a disease. But her voice was hard and Krista didn't like it at all. When her mama came back inside, her smile was gone and she sat down next to them. Without saying anything and hugging them close, Krista couldn't help but wonder if this was a dream. She could never remember seeing tears fall from her mama's eyes.
[break][break]

THAT NOBODY

The Association. They were a group dedicated to helping Pokemon as far as Krista knew. Her mom and mama were once apart of them, though they left for some reason. She was old enough to know these things now. To ask questions and to seek answers. Tightening her hold on her backpack, Krista stepped into her coming future at fifteen years old.
[break][break]

KNOWS

Or so she thought.[break][break]
She didn't get farther than Route 1 before her parents caught her. Telling her that she couldn't go anywhere without her Pokemon and giving her a few of their own along with the ones that she caught herself. Hugging them for what seemed like the last time and feeling soft kisses pressed to her face, Krista felt warm as she left home alone for the first time.[break][break]
"I'm off!"
