All About Me - - A Quick Biography

15 years ago, on a hazy October day, a young girl was born into a very prestigious family. This family, known as the Metallios, was renowned for the successful lives they always seemed to lead. This particular part of the Metallio family branch wanted a daughter for some time, so the arrival of this girl was the cause of a bit of celebration. But tragedy soon struck, and the child became very sick. None of the doctors could make the condition any better, and the parents were starting to lose hope. The night before the girl was assumed to die, the mother took her child into a dry and quiet part of the marshes near their mansion and prayed to no one in particular to spare her only daughter. The woman cried deep into the night while the girl slept silently in her arms. Then at midnight, the mother looked up, and for a split second, she thought she saw a gallant and regal creature in the distance. Confused, the woman then heard the sound of crying. She looked down to the infant in her arms, who was bawling as newborns do. The mother cried tears of joy and smiled, for she knew that her daughter would live. Noticing the child's odd colored eyes, which were the color of polished opals, the mother aptly named the infant "Opal."

As the child grew, it was plain to see that she was not ordinary. In many of her studies, she excelled, especially in musical education. The girl's mother was always so very proud of her only daughter; so much that she allowed the girl to play her viola at social parties that the family occasionally held. All of the guests thought her spectacular. Opal detested it. The young girl was confused as to why she got so much attention, and she didn't understand why she had to do what was told of her. She frequently had temper tantrums and she disobeyed her mother almost all the time. Tired of the game, Opal's mother often inconspicuously taught her daughter how to control her emotions and be polite and forgiving. Despite her hatred for the attention, Opal obeyed and absorbed her mother's lessons and soon became the epitome of a perfect child. But always did the child wear a mask. Only in privacy did her true self come out, and it was a pitiful and terrible thing to see. The young girl didn't understand why she should hide herself from the world, and not knowing the reason why made it worse. One day, she asked her mother why, why could she not let her emotions be shown. The woman understood her daughter's confusion, but she was protective of the child, not forgetting the night where she almost lost her beloved Opal. Sighing, the mother kneeled down to her daughter's height and said, "My sweet little girl, your emotions can hurt you at such a young age. Mean people can use your feelings to hurt you and those that you love. Until you can control them, you must keep your emotions hidden, so no one can ever hurt you with them." The young girl was terrified of this fate, and so she kept her emotions locked away deep inside her heart, only letting them out when she was alone.

One sunny afternoon, Opal was sitting in the spacious garden in the back of the mansion, crying. Suddenly, the girl felt a soft nudge on her right leg. She looked down, confused, when she saw a friendly looking Roselia watching her with a worried look. The child jumped back in alarm at the sight of the Pokemon and started crying again, having never seen a wild Pokemon before. The Roselia smiled serenely and held out one of its rose hands in a sort of greeting. Opal looked at the greeting cautiously and then slowly and lightly took its hand. The Pokemon then grinned, having earned the child's trust, and helped the girl up onto her feet. Then it started leading Opal out of the garden. Startled, the girl began to protest. "But I can't go outside! Mama said it's dangerous outside!" The Roselia turned to her and smiled which seemed to say, "It's all right. You won't get hurt. You can trust me." Opal was bewildered by this, but followed the wild Pokemon anyway. They carefully walked out through a wooden door in the back of the garden and to the young girl's surprise, a small group of other Pokemon was waiting for them. Opal started to turn back, but the Roselia held on to her hand and showed her that smile once again. The Pokemon lead the child to the small group, who greeted her with kindness. Opal looked at all of them, and smiled like she never had before; a smile that one dons when they are among very close friends. The Pokemon all smiled back, seemingly relieved that she trusted them, and they crowded around her. The girl giggled and patted all of them, but as she was enjoying herself, she heard her mother in the garden, searching for her. Worried for her new friends, she hurried back through the wooden door and looked back to the group of Pokemon, who looked sad that she was leaving. "Don't worry! I'll come and play tomorrow, 'kay? See ya!" She closed the door and skipped happily to her mother. As she headed off, she decided there and then that she loved Pokemon, and one day, she would have some of her own, and they would be the best of friends forever. One day...

History: Itzal was born in a clan of nomad Ghost Pokemon and was very close to his cousin, Nerezza. He thought of himself as her protector and always was around her. One day, when two Shuppets attacked his cousin, Itzal attacked them back and held onto Nerezza even closer, blaming himself for how she was terrified. He made a promise to himself to never let her get hurt.

When Nerezza was banned from the clan, Itzal's heart felt torn in two. He was loyal to his clan, but he loved his cousin so much. In the end, he chose to stay with the clan and leave Nerezza behind. He could never forgive himself and would spend hours just sitting alone and thinking of his best friend or talking to her as if she was actually there. But one day, he was farther away from the clan than normal, and he was found by a ruthless human who craved rare Pokemon. The human spotted the Gengar's rare coloring and immediately captured him.

Itzal was among humans for the first time and was fascinated by their ways. While with the human, Itzal looked upon himself for the first time, and he found that he was very handsome and frightening looking. While in the Pokemon Contests, Itzal became obsessed with grooming himself and making himself look his best. But one day, he accidentally broke his human's mirror. Infuriated, the human drove the Gengar away, and Itzal ran as fast as he could until, by sheer coincidence, he found Opal and his long-lost cousin, Nerezza.
