A Poke’mon? Master : Kaveri's tale.
Notes: So here we are again, only things have changed a lot. The core plot of the story is the same ( sadly it was only hinted at in the first version) but a lot has changed. Those who remember this from before, fear not - Bo, Dare and Enigma and even Brian will all be returning as better more thought out characters ( as will the Hive and the Vibe sisters) Our main character is much changed but still worth reading about I hope.
Prologue
A small lava lamp sits on a desk, semi illuminating an otherwise dark room with a greenish-yellow light, all the while casting shadows of the rising and falling balls of heated wax. Some of the light falls on a figure laying in bed under the covers - whoever the person is it seems as though they are intent upon whatever they are writing in their journal.

The council made their choice tonight and Bo and I are headed out at dawn. It should be interesting; there hasn't been a council-sent trainer in nearly twenty years. I've got plenty of time to make my mark but with Bo as my partner I know we can do it in record time. Of course my mission is twofold - one is to change the face of training to the council’s wishes by becoming a famous inspirational master and two to round up any stray half-breeds I can find. They'll be well hidden to be sure but they'll also be needed in the future.
Thankfully the latter has nothing to do with that other than finding the half-breeds. I'm an ambitious creature to be sure but even I don't want to mess with 'them' if the legends are true.
My job is mostly just to stir things up a little and create a following over the next few years. It still amuses me that humans have the audacity to believe that the great Pokemon Masters are humans. Some are, yes, though even some of those are half-breeds with no visible signs of it. However, for the most part, few humans have the ability to connect with us on a level needed to bring out our ultimate power; to inspire the utmost effort from us. We could kill for them if they wanted – hell, during the world wars we did our fair share of fighting.
I digress; the point is that I will be the next council-sent trainer that is a Ditto; I will strive to surpass my predecessors’ successes and make myself and my team legends in our own right. There are rules I must follow; laws I must obey and precautions I must take but I know I can do all of those. Bo and I, along with whatever team we create will take this world by storm.
I understand however that this will still take great time and effort beyond all of what we have been training for. I will not fall victim to hubris; I will not get ahead of myself - but I will believe in myself because that's half the battle.
Kaveri placed her pen down and closed her journal. Tomorrow was going to be a long day and while her stomach was rolling with nerves she needed to get some sleep or she wouldn't be able to start the day off right. She hoped that Bo was also preparing for bed now - the Tangela had chosen to spend her last free night in the woods she had grown up in since there was no telling when (or if for that matter) they'd ever return there.
Sleep came swiftly to Kaveri and it was not long before she was blissfully unaware of anything but her dreams. Not too far away, a Tangela lay nestled in a bed of moss. She too slept and every so often, her body vines would ripple in a lazy kind of motion. While the stars watched, Kaveri and Bo slept, peacefully dreaming of an exciting future.
End notes: To all those who read both the old version and this then went “wtf, when did Bo become Kaveri?” congrats. The old Bo's personality was the basis for Kaveri's and you'll see a lot more of that as the story progresses.
