First I'd like to say hello. I'm new to PC and new to writing fanfics, but certainly not new to writing in general. I've written since I was really small, about 5 years old or something. And because I'm not a native English speaker, I'd be rally happy if someone commented my grammar. And criticism is very welcome.
This story is not about saving the world, so it's not one of those really epic, movie-like fanfics, but it does have adventures and a conspiracy in it. And it might have romance in it. Oh, what the heck, just read it.
This fic is finished!
It also has a stand-alone sequel, Secret People.

Prologue
When Cimi had been eleven, she had started her journey as a trainer as did most of the children in her town. Her starter Pokémon had been a Ponyta she had known since she had been only six years old. Her uncle had a farm where he grew and bred fire-type Pokémon, mostly Ponytas, Vulpixes and Growlithes, and this particular Ponyta had gotten Cimi's interest. For a whole summer, this Ponyta and the six-year-old Cimi had played together. After the summer, Cimi had given the Ponyta its nickname Radeem.
"Why Radeem?", had her uncle asked,
"While it's still cute and small, you should give her a cute nickname!"
"I want her to keep her name", Cimi had answered,
"And she can't have a lame cute name when she's already a Rapidash."
After that, the Ponyta answered only to the name Radeem and when Cimi came back and called it's name the next summer, it came running. This was the reason Cimi's uncle gave Radeem to be Cimi's starter Pokémon.
A couple of months after Cimi had left, her parents and uncle came and visited her for her birthday. She was then staying in a small Pokémon Center and nurse Joy had also attended her 12th birthday. As a present, her parents gave her a Pichu, and what a fiery one he was. For his size he was awfully self-centered and he thought way too much of himself for his own good. He was always ready for a showdown with anyone who'd mess with him. Apart from that he was a jolly little lad, helpful and happy, and he also had a strong sense of justice. Cimi caught most of her Pokémon with this Pichu rather than using Radeem, because Pichu really loved a good fight and Radeem did not really care for those things, as proud and noble as she was. Cimi kept neither of these Pokémon in a pokeball because she often felt terribly lonely without her Pokémon around. Besides, riding Radeem was an excellent way to move from one place to another.
Her first catch had been a Ralts, one of a friendly and helpful nature. This Ralts soon began translating Radeem's speech, and in that role became invaluable for Cimi. Soon after Pichu had joined their party, Ralts evolved into a Kirlia, which made her even more joyous and helpful. She was mostly useless in a battle, as she was pretty weak for her species, and thus preferred being a translator. Because of her position, neither did she live in a pokeball. She often sat behind Cimi on Radeem's back and when she was on exceptionally good mood, she'd dance after them and sing little songs by herself.
But soon after getting her first badge, Cimi grew tired of being a trainer. She did not care for the fights, nor catching Pokémon, and thinking about the next gym battle made her slightly nautious. She did not like to hurt Pokémon, even if they loved fighting, and her only chances obviously were to hurt someone else's Pokémon or her own, which was even worse. So, she quitted being a trainer and released all her Pokémon to the wild. Most of them went back to freedom, now stronger and harder to capture, and lived their lives as they had lived before Cimi had captured them. But Pichu, Kirlia and Radeem, who had evolved into Rapidash, all wanted to stay with her, so she took them with her and went back home. Her mother and father were really happy to get their daughter back, and they had no problem with her bringing Pokémon with her.
Cimi went to work with her uncle on his ranch so she could think what she wanted to be. She did not care much about the idea of becoming a Pokémon breeder, and she didn't want to do entertainment either. She thought about starting as a Pokémon ranger, but that wouldn't have suited her either. So for many years she stayed as a helper on the ranch, until something rather strange happened that made her leave the ranch.
A very, very tired and hungry Bulbasaur appeared on the outskirts of the ranch.
Bulbasaurs were not native to her home area, and this one had clearly made a long trip.
The Bulbasaur tried to hide when Cimi rode towards it, Radeem's blazing tail behind her, Pichu standing between Radeem's ears and Kirlia sitting behind her. It was tired, so Cimi got to it before it managed to hide. Kirlia spoke with the Bulbasaur for a while, and Bulbasaur relaxed. Kirlia turned towards Cimi and said:
"I told him we're not going to catch him. I think he's okay now. Did you know Bulbasaurs could read?"
"What are you talking about", Cimi answered halfheartedly as she took her radio out so she could call someone to help them with the Bulbasaur.
"Well", said Kirlia,
"He said he read the sign pointing to a Pokémon ranch and thought he could get some food.."
There certainly was something strange to it.
And Cimi was to find out what it was.
