What's happening, guys? Legacy918 here with a brand new story for you guys. Now I already know what you're going to ask. No, I'm not stopping the other stories. I'm still working things out for Pokemon Academy: Power of Chaos, and I'm waiting for Heart of the Anime's part for Pokemon Johto: Crossroads. She's having internet issues but the next chapter will be coming within the next week. The way I see it, the Crossroads will be on a slow update schedule anyway so why not preoccupy myself with this idea that I've been having for a while? We hardly ever see any stories revolving around the lives of Elite Four members so I thought, "Hey, this sounds like a neat idea! Why not have everybody be a part of it while I'm at it?" Yes! This will be an SYOC, and a rather big one at that. The rules and forms are on my profile, please read through the rules and look over the forms before deciding what kind of character(s) you'd like to submit. Yes, I said characters! Because I'm offering so many options for types of characters to submit, I'm allowing each person to submit multiple forms as long as they are all different types of characters. There's more about all of that on my profile, so without further ado, I welcome you to my newest adventure, "To Save a Life." Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not, have not, nor ever will own Pokemon. I do however, own all of my OCs so yay me!

Prologue:

A young woman, most likely in her mid-twenties, was typing away at a laptop behind the front desk of the Pokemon Center, updating the records of her patients. She tucked an out-of-place strand of her pink hair behind her ear, not bothering to fix it into the circular rings she usually had. Her porcelain skin was blemished with rings underneath her weary sapphire eyes. Working the graveyard shift can turn a beautiful young woman like Nurse Joy into a mess, especially around this time of year when most trainers have collected all eight badges and attempt Victory Road.

Inside the center, were trainers sleeping soundly on the couches and chairs, either waiting for their Pokemon to recover from attempting Victory Road or just resting before going into the cave. Nurse Joy's eyes drifted to the bottom right hand corner of her computer screen to find that it was almost seven in the morning which meant her shift was almost over. All she had to do was wait for her cousin to take over. She rested her chin on the palm of her hand and looked through the glass doors, wanting to leave, when something caught her eye. It didn't surprise her, seeing as how she saw it every morning, but it always brought a smile to her face to see the Staraptor flying through the sky with his trainer on his back.

"Looks like Adam's on his way to work."

Black dress shoes met the freshly wet morning grass as the silver-haired young man that they belonged to thanked his Staraptor for the ride and rubbed the Pokemon's neck before returning him to his Poke Ball. He wore a light purple dress shirt underneath a fitted black blazer with thin dark purple lines going down it. His pants were black with a purple seam on the outside of each of his legs. A black and dark purple tie with a silver clip containing a colorful stone completed his outfit, adding to the sophisticated professionalism emanating from him.

His deep violet eyes made their way to the building with the red roof which stood in front of the rocky formation as a beacon of hope to hopeful challengers. He started walking towards the building, slowing down upon reaching the entrance so that the automatic doors could part for him, and continued inside to find Nurse Joy waving hello to him with a friendly smile on her face.

"Good morning, Adam," she said warmly.

The young man smiled and responded, "Good morning to you too." He looked over at the sleeping trainers and asked, "Are you having a slumber party? Why was I not invited?"

Nurse Joy giggled before responding, "No, it's just that time of year again."

"Ah, right. I wonder how many will reach my room this year."

"There are still a lot inside so who knows."

"Right…Hey, I brought you something." Adam lifted the top flap of the black laptop bag hanging from his shoulder and brought out a Thermos before handing it to Nurse Joy.

Her dull sapphire eyes obtained a small glint as she reached for it and said, "Adam, you shouldn't have."

"Well seeing as how your cousins stick you with the worst shift, I thought I'd pick up some coffee from that shop you like in Sunyshore."

"That's very sweet of you," she responded as she unscrewed the top and took a whiff of the brown substance.

"It's nothing. I also have these for you." Adam reached into his pocket and took out three packets of Splenda sugar—her favorite. "Your cousin's arriving soon, right?" She nodded as she tore one of the packets to pour sugar into her coffee. "Alright, well I should get to my office. Take care, okay?"

"Thank you, you too." Adam exited the center and called his Staraptor out again before mounting it and flying away towards the large castle at the top of the mountain—the Sinnoh Pokemon League.

I know this is a really short Prologue but it's super early in the morning and I just wanted to get this out because I know I won't get to it during the day without shirking my responsibilities. Plus, I want to see what kind of character's I'll get to be working with before really getting into this. I hope you guys are excited for this story! I don't really have anything for you guys other than the SYOC, so if you're already a reader of mine, you know what comes next. Legacy, out!
