you were laying flat on your bed, playing games on a handheld you had received just moments earlier. You could hear something happening outside but you didnt pay any mind to it as its normallu chaotic on birthdays.

suddenly, it went quiet, and then a soft thud on your door could be heard. You pasued the game, stumbled out of bed, and reached for the doorknob, opening it slowly.

when opened, you're mom appeared, hiding something behind her back. She spoke softly, as if she was talking to a child, which she was.

"Happy birthday hun! I know dad already gave you a gift, but i wanted to give you one too." she showed you a premier ball, it appeared to be slightly heavyn even without any reason for it to be

"I was going through the city when i found her. An figured thatn well, you could take care of her!" she smiled and placed the ball into your hand

your eyes filled with joy, a wide smiled appeared acrosd your face. In the moment, you didnt even remember any of your other gifts, just this pokemon. Carefully, you mom explained to you how to use a pokeball, and quickly, you learned. After a minute or two of teaching, she finally let you use her gift

it took a few attempts, but whem you got it, a kirlia poped out! Looking around the room behind msking eye contact with the two of you

"Yes! Good job!" your mom said, pstting your head. Yet you didnt notice, instead keeping your eyes locked on your brand new pokemon

"K...kirlia...?" said the pokemon, moving its hand to its mouth
