A highly unwelcome one. Team Rocket Grunts had been scouring some of the places that she used to frequent for ancient artifacts and rare and powerful Pokemon.<br/><br/>She tried to avoid fighting as much as possible, but she had to defend herself. She had seen the nasty gleam in the eyes of some of them. Alone girl in the wilds, there were a lot of things that could happen to her if she were not careful.<br/><br/>One morning she checked her phone and almost jumped from the surprise. She had been summoned to Pallet Town, the home of the famous Professor Oak! One of her heroes, along with Cynthia (on whom she also had a crush).<br/><br/>Melissa packed her things immediately and headed towards Kanto. Of course the train there was controlled by Team Rocket, along with the ferry. She had to hitchhike and then go around major checkpoints. That made her journey rather slow.<br/><br/>She had to defeat some Grunts, thankfully they did not pose much of a threat. The stronger ones probably were elsewhere, on more important roads and cities.<br/><br/>Melissa had to steal a bike, though she left a note and some money. Of course the amount did not cover the cost, but at least it was something.<br/><br/>She was now approaching Pallet Town, her Espeon was in the frontal basket, Melissa wondered whether there will be others who had been summoned. It never crossed her mind that it could be a lie, though a rather elaborate one, but still...
