Once a proud member of an Ace Trainer's Pokémon team, Tyra suffered a terrible injury, a head trauma that disabled her psychic powers forever. Her old trainer left her to a rescue program...

*I look around as I walk down the hall of the Center's care rooms. I'd always wanted to adopt a Pokemon. I'd considered capturing one, but knowing there were pokemon out there needing trainers, not in the wild, I felt this was the right choice. I hold up the pamphlet Nurse Joy had given me.* Let's see... An Eevee... Tyrogue... Wait, a Gardevoir? Aren't those supposed to be pretty rare? *I look back up.* Hm... Room 6...

*I sit in my dark bedroom, on the edge of my bed. My PC sits unused as I just sit there, holding myself. It's another bad day... I sigh and slump over. I look at my left arm, which I've just unwrapped. The marks are still there. Of course they are, I know that... Idiot, idiot, idiot... I close my eyes and sigh. Worthless.*
