[Janell Adele Gardia]

Janell sat on the swing swinging back and forth. Lying in the swing at her side was a ragged old doll. It was the only thing she owned. All the other toys belonged to the orphanage. But this toy, this toy someone had given her when she was three years old. It was a trainer passing through. One of the ladies working here had sewn her name into the dress so it wouldn't get mixed up among the other toys. The doll was very important to her. Not only was it her only possession but hidden inside the doll was all the money she had ever gotten through the years.

As Janell swung in the swing she began to sing an old song. She couldn't remember where she had heard it from. But from the time she could talk well she started singing it when ever she was down. It was a song about a happy little girl who was loved very much. There where several kids outside. Most continued on what they where doing but giving her glances from time to time. While a couple stopped and watched as she sang for Janell had a very beautiful voice.

But that wasn't the case with young Brittani Derosier. She felt alone. Sure, she had her Pokemon, but she never saw her family anymore and human interaction was nice every once in a while. But every once in a while wasn't good enough for Brittani anymore. She missed her little cousins, who she used to see nearly every week. She missed them quite a lot, and needed something to fill it. The prospect of visiting the Kangaskhan Orphanage seemed a bit depressing at first, considering that all the children there were stuck unless a family adopted them. But it wasn't until that morning when she lay in bed, pondering the idea, that she realized she was a legal adult. She could do what she wanted, and she could help one of the children get out of the nightmare, even if just for a little while. So she was welcomed happily at the Orphanage, and told to go and interact with the kids, to see if she connected with one of them at all. Brittani had merely said that she would take one under her wing, she was a bit scared about adopting one by herself, and with so much work constantly on her plate. The people there thought that it was a fabulous idea, an elite four taking care of one of their orphans and showing them the ropes of pokemon. Walking out onto the playground, smiling to anyone who looked at her. On her shoulder was her Axew, glancing this way and that, trying to absorb everything he could. The duo would play with the kids for a minute, hopping around and trying to meet them all. But then a voice pulled her attention away from the kids. A girl was sitting on a swing, singing to herself. Brittani faintly recognized the tune, and a soft smile formed on her lips once again. The girl was all alone, and she decided to go and meet her, since she hadn't noticed the orphan before. Brittani sat down on the unoccuppied swing next to the girl. "That's a beautiful song. I used to sing it when I was little." She said softly. "I'm Brittani, nice to meet you. And who are you?"[/style][style=color: 3e2e31; font: 11px Tahoma; text-align: justify; background: #e1d7cd; padding: 5px 15px; opacity: 0.97; border-left: 1px dotted #907c73; border-right: 1px dotted #907c73;]WORD COUNT. ▷ 389 words.

[Janell Adele Gardia]

Janell could see someone walking into the play ground. She was pretty and an adult by the looks of it some kind of trainer. Her eyes settled on the Axew and she smiled. It was so cute. When the woman continued to walk towards her, her eyes grew big. Could this actually be happening. Could someone be picking her out of everyone else? No it couldn't be eight years of being unwanted refused to believe anyone would want her now when she was so close to leaving on her journey. She stopped singing the song as the woman bent to sit in the seat her doll was in. She let out a cry and slammed her feet to the ground and whipped out her hand grabbing her doll at the last minute. She hugged her to her. She hadn't even noticed she had spoken until her third word.

The woman recognized her song. Not many people knew where she heard it for they had never heard it before. Before she could get excited she had to say something. "You almost sat on Janet." She hugged her doll once more. Once that was over she gave a small smile. "You have no one around here has ever heard it before. I don't even remember where I heard it from it's like a faded memory kind of." When the woman introduced herself as Brittani she chewed her lip. The name sounded familiar but she couldn't remember why. "I'm Janell and this is Janet are you a Pokemon Trainer?"

From several feet away Janell heard a boy say, "That's Brittani from the Elite Four stupid." She didn't like being called stupid but she just turned to the boy and stuck her tongue out at him. Than turned back to Brittani. "Is that true? Are you one of the Elite Four? If so are you here to adopt someone?" If she was than she bet she would pick Katie she was really pretty with silvery blond hair. Or maybe Timmy he was a year older than her and had a Caterpie. She doubted she would be picked.

Brittani frowned. "Sorry about that. I didn't see her there, she was so quiet. She said with a glimmer of harmless mischief in her eyes. "Of course I've heard of it before. It's one of my favorites." Brittani patted Axew subconsciously, listening to the girl talk. "That's a pretty name." Just when she was about to answer Janell's question about her being a trainer, a young boy called over from the playground. Brittani had played with him already, and learned he was a bit... Snotty. But Janell stuck her tongue out at him and didn't seem bothered, so she said nothing. "I am, actually. I have the day off. I'm looking to get a buddy, someone to join me, as a little protégé of sorts." Brittani paused. She was probably making no sense. "Meaning, take someone under my wing and teach them all there is about Pokemon." She looked the orphan up and down. "Tell me, do you want to be a trainer?"

[Janell Adele Gardia]

Janell giggled softly when she said Janet was quiet. "It's ok Janet can be pretty sneaky some times." He hugged Janet and began to swing again slowly keeping her doll in her lap this time. "I like the song to it's pretty and cheers me up." Janell kept glancing up at the Axew wanting to pet it but to afraid to ask.

Janell blushed and smiled shyly, "Thank you, your name is pretty to." She was still talking with her maybe she would be chosen for once. She was starting to get excited but she didn't want to get her hopes up. So when she talked about getting something called a protejay she was confused at first until she explained it was a buddy that traveled with her and learned how to be a trainer. Janell's face lit up she started swinging faster with excitement.

"Oh yes me and Janet want to be pokemon trainers very much. We've been saving up see." Janell slipped the back of the dress to the side to show a hidden zipper and unzipped it to show several bills as well as coins. "It's our life savings we've been saving it up for a long time to go towards getting a pokemon. It's not enough yet but where hoping that in two years when I turn ten we'll have enough to leave on our journey."

And to her, that was a good thing. She had a feeling that the little girl would be the one that she would be leaving with. But she wouldn't say that until she was sure, she didn't want to get her hopes up like that. Brittani supposed that her constant patting had woken Axew, who climbed onto her lap and looked at Janell, slightly intrigued. He tilted his head and leaned forward, hoping she understood and rubbed his head as well. Brittani laughed. "Axew's being friendly. Go ahead and pet him. He's a sweetheart." Brittani smiled, gesturing for Janell to go ahead. Janell clearly wanted to be a trainer, and it reminded Brittani of herself when she was little. "That's fantastic!" It caused another smile to spread across her face, and she realized that Janell was really the choice for her. Was it too soon? There was no way to be sure. What should she do? Brittani scratched the top of her head anxiously, thinking in an awkward silence. Brittani rose suddenly. She had made a decision, and she planned on going through with it. "Well, let's get out of here then." Axew scrambled up her arm at the sudden movement, and Brittani grinned. "Want to learn how to be a trainer, and travel the region from me?" She was acting dramatic on purpose, hoping to make her giggle.[/style][style=color: 3e2e31; font: 11px Tahoma; text-align: justify; background: #e1d7cd; padding: 5px 15px; opacity: 0.97; border-left: 1px dotted #907c73; border-right: 1px dotted #907c73;]WORD COUNT. ▷ 237 words.

[Janell Adele Gardia]

When the Axew woke up she smiled. She liked dragon types. She had seen several different types from passing pokemon trainers. She had seen several different types but she had always felt a connection with dragon types. So when the Axew leaned forward she patted his head softly giving it a little scratch. "Axew is really adorable, when I get older I want to get one I'm not sure where I will have to go to catch one but someday I want to be a dragon trainer like you."

Janell giggled at Brittani's excitement. Maybe just maybe she would pick her to go with her. All her hopes and dreams rose as she stood up and shouted "Let's get out of here." Finally, finally someone had chosen her she couldn't believe it. A few tears slid down her cheeks. "Your picking me? Me, over everyone else?" She just couldn't believe it. She gave her head a shake and pinched herself. Nope it wasn't a dream. Grabbing Janet tighter she jumped off the swing as it was still moving landing three feet away from the swings she landed perfectly on her feet. "I want to go and travel and learn about pokemon more than anything else in the world."

Brittani felt her heart swell. They certainly did seem to be the perfect match. "Well, I've got quite a few dragon Pokemon you'll get to meet." She winked, hoping to elicit a giggle from the eight-year-old. It bothered her slightly that Janell was in such disbelief. How was she treated here at the orphanage that she felt she had no way out? A sweet girl like her? Plenty of families would take her in, wouldn't they? Well it didn't matter anymore, anyway. Brittani didn't want to think about that kind of thing. "Of course I'm choosing you!" She added sincerely. "You, Janet, and I will get along very well." Janell's excitement at the idea of traveling the world was contagious. The girl certainly wanted to get out of the place, that was for sure. "Well, we'll just need to sign some papers and I think we'll be all set." It took a minute for the woman to realize that she was forgetting something. "Oh, of course! You probably have some belongings in your room that you want to pack up. So I'll handle the papers, you go get your things. Does that sound ok?" She figured Janell would be bored with the paperwork and endless signing, so it would not only spare her having to sit around, but it would save them some time as well. Kill two Pidgeys with one stone, so to speak. Not that she didn't like Pidgeys. Brittani was still shocked a little by the fact that she was actually doing this, and it was actually happening. She had been thinking about it for quite a while, her life was pretty lonely. But she certainly hasn't expected that she would find the right child for her on the first visit. But Janell seemed to be like the perfect match for her. They would get along just fine, for sure.
