->''“You [Goh] want a dream, well I have one! I have a dream that I run away from this place and go to a world where there's no such thing as Pokémon, where my dad isn't a researcher and I’m never asked by EVERYONE to follow his job or that I know how to battle. A world that you and I were always best friends and Mew never ever came to take you away. And a world where Ash Ketchum never existed in the first place. If I had that chance to stay in that world for as long as I live, I’d take it because'' I never want to see any of you [Goh, Ash, and her father] ever again!”

Taking place before episode 29 of ''[[Anime/PokemonJourneysTheSeries Pokémon Journeys]]'' and at the beginning of Book 3 of ''Infinity Train'', the story tells of Chloe Cerise, an insecure young girl who is the daughter of Professor Cerise in Vermillion City. She is [[DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife is very unsure of her future]] because everyone at her school thinks that she'll easily follow in her father's footsteps but she honestly doesn't even know if she even ''likes'' Pokémon. And after a bad day at school and an even worse afternoon at her father's research lab that leaves her feeling like no one actually cares for her or the fact that she doesn't want a life involving Pokémon, Chloe decides to run away from home. However, before she can form a concrete plan on how to exactly do that and before she can go back to the lab to at least take Yamper with her, she's picked up by a mysterious train and wakes up with a green '151' tattooed on her right hand in something that does ''not'' look like the interior of a train.

Thanks to a helpful introduction video made by a spherical robot with two personalities, she learns that she's now in one of many pocket dimensions on the train she boarded and that she can go home once her number drops to zero. However, [[{{Unishment}} Chloe sees this as the best thing that could have happened to her]]. Why would she want to leave the train if all that is waiting for her back in Vermilion City is an ignorant father who cares more about his research than her, her Pokémon obsessed ChildhoodFriend Goh, Ash "Black Hole" Ketchum who steals everyone's attention, and her classmates who act like her future has already been decided? With the desire to reinvent herself, a goal to never return home and befriending Atticus ([[TheMagnificent King of the Corginians, and Uniter of the Cardigans and the Pembrokes]]) and Lexi (a book capable of separating his pages into a humanoid form) who serve as her guides, the three -- now dubbing themselves the Red Lotus Trio -- set forth on a journey to explore what the train has in store for them and in pursuit of a certain cult that has been causing trouble for the peaceful denizens.

The story is now complete. The author puts a lot of attention to detail that shows just what makes Chloe a reasonable candidate for the Train and expands on the lack of characterization in the anime. It also brings up the relationships between her friends and family and how they are dealing with the fall out of not knowing this girl with the flower scrunchie in her hair.

It's not a happy story in any way shape or form, as it deconstructs the anime's tendency to focus only on Ash and Goh's adventures and shows the repercussions that their goals in being with Pokémon have damaged Chloe's self-esteem and sense of worth and how Goh is supposedly her ChildhoodFriend when the anime shows that he never interacts with her in the slightest. Moreover, it brings up important points on what it means to be a girl in the Pokémon world and the stigma that those who don't like the creatures face.
