I've had a serious case of writers block lately with my other stories and I've been playing Pokémon a lot lately. So, I decided to come up with a story because it inspired me to write. Hopefully, you all will like it, I know this is a change for me and this is the first time I've wrote in first person, so bare with me. This will follow somewhat close to the game Alpha Sapphire and some of the anime, but will also be different as well. Thank you for reading! ^-^

The moving truck slowly made its way through the small road, as it started to approach the small town of Littleroot. It had been a long move, which has drastically taken a toll on me, as I had to sit in the back of the truck. I had my earbuds tucked in my ear and my eyes shut, trying to drown out the sound of the engine from the truck. My family decided that it would be a good time to move to the Hoenn region from the Kanto region, as father was offered a job being the gym leader for the Petalburg City gym. Of course, I did have the option to stay on Seafoam Island with grandfather, but as much as I wanted to stay with him…I wanted to travel and explore Hoenn as I've been to most parts of Kanto. The truck came to a sudden stop, causing me to open my eyes and sit straight up, looking around. The doors opened up and I saw mother standing there, smiling at me, as two Machoke started to remove boxes from the truck.

"Evie! You're here at last! Wasn't it tough riding in the back of the truck moving all that way?"

"Well…it wouldn't have been so bad if they hadn't hit every bump in the road." I said, slowly standing up, dusting the dirt off the back of my black shorts. My shorts came up all the way to my upper thighs, I was wearing my favorite strapless white top that showed off the top of my chest and my black jacket that was trimmed in white. I stepped out of the truck, my black ankle boots hit the ground with a soft thud, as I looked around. My long mahogany colored hair would've been blowing all over the place if it wasn't for the big black bow in the back keeping it in place.

"Understandable. Well, this is Littleroot Town. What do you think?

"It's…small."

"True, it's truly different from Seafoam Island, but I'm sure you'll grow to love it. It has a quaint feel, but it looks like it should be a nice place to live, don't you think?"

"It's pretty, but please tell me…do I at least get my own room?"

My mother started to laugh at my question, as she turned to head inside. I'm not sure what she found humorous about my question, I'm twenty years old, and I seriously need my own room. I slowly started to follow her into the house, as she finally responding to my question. "Of course, Evie. Your room is actually upstairs, the far room on the right, you need to go see it. They just finished putting everything up in your room. Dad even bought you a new clock for it to help celebrate the big move."

I nodded my head as I made my way up the stairs, heading toward my new room. Mother was right alright, they had done a good job on putting everything away in here. The walls were painted with a lavender color, with black curtains, a pink rug, and the bed set was black. A mixture of lavender, black, and pink, all my favorite colors. I noticed the pink clock hanging on the wall next to my desk, which I went over to set it. "Hard to believe it's already past ten…"

"Hey, just finished moving everything in downstairs, too. It's really nice to have Pokémon around to help us! Also, make sure that everything is all there on your desk."

"Okay, mother."

My red-wine color eyes scanned quickly across the desk, noticing that my diary and laptop were on the desk. Those two objects are the only things that were on the desk, I really didn't want an anything else on my desk. I went to pick my diary up, but I was soon startled by mother screaming.

""Oh! Evie! Evie! Quick! Come quickly!"

I flew out of my room like a Zubat from hell, running down the steps as fast as I could. Mother sounded like someone broke into the house or stole something. "Mom? What's wrong?"

I noticed that mother was grinning a little, pointing toward the television screen that showed a gym behind the reporter. "It's the Petalburg Gym! Maybe Dad will be on TV!"

I sighed a little, slumping my shoulders in defeat. I had truly thought my mother was in serious trouble from the way she had screamed, but in reality, she was screaming over the fact father was on TV. "Seriously, mom? I really thought that you were in serious trouble…don't scare me like that again."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm just excited. Let's see what they are saying…" She turned her attention back toward the screen and noticed that they just switched over to the weather. She sighed a little and smiled sadly, as she started to head off toward the kitchen. "Oh…it had already ended. Looks like your dad was on, but we missed his part. What a shame."

"I'm sure they will replay it tonight on the news…that's what the news is famous for. Repeating the same stories over and over again."

I noticed that mother gave me a small nod to what I had just said, and turned back to look her, placing a finger on her cheek. "That reminds me…One of dad's friend's lives in this town. Professor Birch is his name. He actually lives next door, so why don't you go over and introduce yourself."

"How does watching the news remind you that I need to go meet the next door neighbors? You know what…don't answer that question. I'll go over right now and meet them." I grabbed my black messenger bag as I headed out the front door and headed over to the neighbors, noticing that their house looked just like my house. I knocked on the door softly, hearing a faint voice from behind telling me that they were coming. Not even a few seconds later, a woman who looked to be the same age as mother, but had short brown hair answered the door with a kind smile. "Hello, how may I help you?"

"My name is Evie Kasai, I just moved next door from the Kanto region. Your Professor Birth's wife, correct?"

"Oh! You must be Norman's daughter! I have heard so much about you, please why don't you come in. Also, please call my Nina." Nina insisted, as she waved me into her house.

I looked around the house, as I was a little hesitant on walking into someone's house that I've never met before and Nina, who had retreated into the living room, waving me to come into the house some more, she must've sensed my hesitation on coming into the house. I noticed that the Professor was not currently there, which struck me as a little odd. "Is Professor Birch not here?"

"Oh, no, I'm terribly sorry honey. He actually just left a few minutes ago and headed up toward Route 101 to do some research."

"Oh…"

"If you like, my son, Brendon is about to head up toward that way here in a few minutes. I'm sure he would enjoy having someone to go along with him…it could be refreshing to have someone else go along with him." Nina explained, as she stood next to the staircase, shouting. "Hey, Brendon, can you come down here. There's someone I want you to meet."

"Sure thing, mother. Just let me finish packing my bag." A deep male voice shouted back from upstairs.

Something caught my attention on the wall next to the fire place. I walked over toward the shelf and noticed it was some family photos. As I started to inspect the photos, it was obvious to me what Professor Birch looked like, and his Nina, so the young man in the photo must be Brendon, obviously. "So, this must be Brendon, unless that's like an older brother or something." I thought, as I stared at one of the photos.

"How old is Brendon, if you don't mind me asking?"

"He just turned twenty-one a few weeks ago actually, I take it you are about the same age as him? Nina asked as she started to pour some team.

"Twenty actually, I'll be twenty-one in about eight months." I noticed that she had fixed me a cup of tea, which I knew it would be terrible of me to refuse such a kind gesture, so I nodded my head with a gentle smile and accept the glass from her. "Oh, thank you so much."

Nina sat down at the kitchen table, as she started to ask me several questions. I wasn't one for answering more than the necessary amount of questions, but I also wasn't about to be mean to Nina. "So, tell me Evie…are you planning on being a Pokémon trainer as well?"

"Oh, yes ma'am, I decided to finish schooling before I started a journey. Though, by the time I finally finished my Associates in Business, my parents told me they were going to move here, so I decided on waiting to start my journey until I got settled over here."

"Oh, so you're not from the Hoenn region at all?"

I shook my head no, as I took a tip of the tea she had just made me. The more I thought about home, the more I missed it, I missed everyone back more than anything. "No, I'm actually from Seafoam Island, which is in the Kanto region."

"Seafoam Island! Oh, how I've heard it's absolutely beautiful there! I bet you miss being so close to the ocean."

I nodded my head sadly, as that was one of the biggest downfalls on moving here, not having a beach nearby where I could go and hide away from everyone and everything when I was bothered by something. "I do, I really do. That is one of the biggest things I do miss about home. If I decided to stay in Hoenn region when I'm done, I may go live by the ocean again."

"Then you will enjoy Dewford Town, Slateport City, Lilycove City, and Mossdeep City. They are all by the beach, that's all of the places I can think of off the top of my head. My memory isn't what it used to be." Nina explained, laughing a little.

I was excited to hear that there were so many places that were so close to the beach, she must've saw the biggest smile on my face when she told me that, because she started to laugh even more. "It's nice to know that Hoenn as so many places close to the water that I can visit, I'll make to tell you how each of them were when I come back to visit."

"I can't wait to hear how you like them, though you may want to go hurry and find my husband, he has a Pokémon waiting for you."

"Oh…that's alright, I…"I was cut off by the sound of someone running down the stair steps in a hurry, which must've been Brendon. He ran into the kitchen and started to rummage through the fridge. "Hey mom, is there anything I can take with me to eat? I'm starving!"

"I made you a sandwich, as I figured you probably would be hungry before you left."

"You're the best, mom!" Brendon shouted, it seemed he was a little over excited about his lunch. It wasn't even two minutes that he emerge from the kitchen, as it was obvious he had shoved the entire sandwich into his mouth. I seem to have caught his attention the moment he walked out of the kitchen, because his face started to become five shades of red. He desperately tried to swallow his sandwich the best he could, which was proving to be harder than he had thought it would be. I couldn't help but giggle at the sight of him trying to swallow his lunch, it was just too humorous for me, but at the sound of my giggle, he turned even redder. He ran back into the kitchen, I guess he was looking for something to drink, to help with his problem.

"Mother, why didn't you tell me you had company over?" He was clearly embarrassed about what had just happened. I mean, there were many other things that he could be embarrassed about, but oh well.

"I clearly yelled up the stairs for you to come down here to meet our guest about ten minutes ago."

"Oh yeah…sorry, I was caught up in packing my bag, that I totally forgot what you had said." He stated, as he walked over toward me, holding his hand out to me, smiling. "The name is Brendon, it's nice to meet you."

I stood up from the table and took his hand, shaking it lightly. "It's nice to meet you to Brendon, my name is Evie."

It seemed the moment he heard my name, his eyes widen really big. Either he was shocked at the fact my name is Evie or the he knows who my father is, either way, it doesn't matter to me. I'm totally use to be acting that when they hear who I'm related too.

"Are you like in High School or something?"

Wait. What? Did he seriously asked me if I was in high school?! I stared at him dumbfound for a minute, of course he looked at me like it was a totally normal conversation to ask me. I shook my head and plated my hands on my hips, puffing my cheeks out just like a Jigglypuff would when they are mad. "No, I'm actually twenty years old. What in the world makes you think I'm in high school?!" I snapped a little, probably a little too much for him, as he jumped back in surprised. He laid a hand on the back of his head, laughing a little.

"I'm terribly sorry, it's just that your jacket looks like that of a high school uniform, so I figured you were probably a student." He felt bad for asking if I was a student, I mean, my jacket was that of a high school uniform, I just have always liked that style. "Well…I do like the style of them…"I muttered.

Nina just laughed at us, catching us both off guard. "You two will make good friends, now, you two should probably go, and you don't want to keep him waiting."

"Right." We both said at once. Brendon headed out the door, as I picked up my bag from the floor, smiling over at his mother. "It was nice to meet you, and thank you for telling me about the places to visit."

"Oh, you're welcome, dear."

I ran out the door, catching up to Brendon. He eyed me over a little, still blushing a little, as we kept heading toward Route 101. I had no clue what to say to him, as he probably had no clue what to say to me. I mean, we just met not even five minutes ago, you'd think we would have questions to ask one another, though he was probably still embarrassed about the sandwich stuffing and then asking me if I was in high school.

"So…do you…" Before I could even ask my question, we heard the sound of someone screening. We both glanced at one another and started to run up the route, wondering who in the living hell was screaming. The second we turned the corner, we saw a heavy set man running in circles, being chased around by a small black looking dog Pokémon, which was kind of cute.

"Dad?" Brendon asked, as started to run towards him.

"Dad? Oh! This must be Professor Birch! Wait…why the hell is he being chased around by a Pokémon?" I thought, as I started to follow Brendon.

"One of you two go to my bag over there and grab a Poké Ball, there are three of them in there." He shouted toward us, which I noticed Brendon started to search around for the bag, which wasn't in plain view at all.

"Dad…I don't see it."

"No worries, I got this." I took a step closer to the Professor and the Pokémon, reaching into my bag I pulled out a black and green ball, throwing it into the air. "Let's go, Vulpix!"

Vulpix happily came out of its Poke Ball, standing between the Professor and the wild Pokemon. Vulpix started to growl at the pokemon, who in returned growled at the fox Pokemon. The wild Pokemon made the first move, as it started to run toward Vulpix.

"Alright, Vulpix, dodge the attack and use Ember." I told her, as she leaped over the wild Pokemon and spat fire at her from the air, landing right behind it. It hit the Pokemon, it was obvious it took some damage, but it was still angry and ready to attack. The Pokemon ran at top speed at Vulpix, hitting the fox Pokemon in the head, sending her back a little.

"Let's finish this, use tackle!"

Vulpix ran and hit the Pokemon dead square in the face, sending the Pokemon into a tree, causing it to run off before it got injured anymore. Vulpix ran over to me and hopped into my arms, rubbing her head into my chest. It seemed that the two of them were shocked that I had my own Pokemon already and knew how to battle.

"I didn't know you had your own Pokemon, yet!" Brendon shouted, to me it seemed as if he was jealous that I had one already.

Before I could even respond, Professor Birch stepped between the two of us, coughing a little, as he patted his bag. "Sorry about that, I actually had my bag the entire time." He laughed nervously, which caused Brendon and I to raise an eyebrow and shake our head. "How about we head back to the lab, that way we don't get attacked by anymore wild Pokemon."

We all ended up back at his lab, which he laid out all three Poke Balls on the desk in front of us. He walked over to his desk, picking up two red and white devices. "The three Pokemon here in these balls are Mudkip, the water type Pokemon, Torchic, the fire type Pokemon, and finally Treecko, the grass type Pokemon."

"Say, Evie, where did you get your Pokemon from and what kind of Pokemon is that?" Brendon asked, as he bent down to inspect Vulpix, who was still in my arms. It obvious that there was a hint of jealousy and bitterness in his tone, which didn't bother me any, as it wasn't my problem that I had got a Pokemon before he did.

"My grandfather actually gave me Vulpix before I left to come here, and Vulpix is actually a fire type of Pokemon."

"Vulpix!" She yelped happily, as she climbed up onto my shoulder, nudging my head. It was obvious that she was getting hungry.

Brendon approached the desk, selecting the Poke Ball that had Mudkip in it. "Well, since you have a fire type, I'm going to choose Mudkip, the water type."

Professor Birch glanced over at me, nodding his head to the two other Poke Balls left. "Evie, are you sure that you don't want another starter?"

I thought about for a minute as I placed Vulpix on the floor, giving her some food that was in my bag. As it would be nice to have two Pokemon, it wouldn't be fair to Brendon. I stood up and shook my head no to Professor Birch's question. "No, I'm going to have to decline, it wouldn't be fair to have two starting out. Vulpix and I will be alright, won't we girl?"

"Vul, Vulpix!" Vulpix happy yelped, going back to eating her food.

"Well, if you think so, but since you're going to start your journey, you'll need this here Pokedex." He said, handing me one of the two Pokedex and handing Brendon the other one. "Anytime you encounter a Pokemon, hold it up and it'll scan it right away. Also, I have a badge case for you two, where you can safely store your badges."

I placed the Pokedex into a side pocket that I could easily get it out at and the badge case in my bag. I was nervous and excited to start my journey, and I believe Brendon was just like me when it came to that. It was the beginning of a new experience and I was ready to start, but I needed to know where to start at first. "Say, where is my best bet to start?"

"You're best bet would be go up Route 101 to Oldale Town, and then head from Oldale Town to Route 102 which will lead you to Petalburg City, you should stop and see your dad while you are there." Professor Birch explained.

"Sounds good, I'll be off now." I returned Vulpix back to her ball and headed out the door, waving bye to Professor Birch and Brendon. When the doors opened, I saw mom waiting on me, I guess she knew I was finally heading off "Hey, Mom."

"I guess you're heading off now with Vulpix aren't you? I'm sad to see you leave, but I know this is what you want to do." Mom said tearfully, wiping one of the tears away from her eyes. I felt bad for leaving her here, but she would refuse my offer to stay. I give her a hug and a cheerful smile. "Don't be sad mom, I'll call you when I can and I'll even bring you back a Pokemon to stay with you and keep you company."

Mom nodded her head and gave me some money, which I really didn't need, but she wasn't about to take no for answer from me. "Take it, you'll need it while you're on the road. Just be careful okay?"

"Okay, mom."

It didn't take long to get through Oldale Town, as all I needed to do was to stop at the pokemon center and stop that the market, as I didn't' have any Poke balls or potions and I reached Petalburg City by the time the sun was getting near to set. I looked around, as this city was pretty big, bigger than I had imagine it would be. I walked around for a few minutes and finally found myself at dad's gym, which was a pretty big gym, at least compared to some of the ones back home. I walked in and noticed my father was finishing up talking to some kid, it appeared at least to me that he had challenged dad and lost.

Dad spent the kid on his way out and noticed me the second he looked up, giving me one the biggest smiles there is. "Why, if it isn't Evie!"

"Hey, dad. I hope I didn't come at a bad time."

"Oh no, not at all. I have all the time in the world for my daughter. I see that you finished moving in, how does your mom like the house?"

"She's in love with it, she was more impressed with the fact the Machoke that we had doing the moving actually put everything where it belong and cleaned up. I told her I'd catch her a Pokemon to have at the house with her, I fear that she may get lonely."

Dad laughed a little and nodded his head, laying a hand on top of his head. "Yeah, that was my biggest fear that she may get lonely. It's hard traveling between towns, it takes a lot of you."

I could agree with him there, I was already tired traveling from Littleroot Town to here, so for dad having to do it every single day would be brutal. "I can agree with that, but why didn't you just get a place in the city?"

"Well….I was going too, but there wasn't any houses for sale in the city and I figured being near the Professor would help you out a lot. Speaking of which, did you go visit him, I wasn't sure if your mother remembered to tell you or not."

"Oh no, she told me. I got my Pokedex from him and everything."

"Fantastic! So, tell me, what did you think of Brandon?"

I had an answer for that, but he's probably not going to like my answer. "Eh. We exchanged a few words, I'm not sure how I like him yet. He seems…strange."

Dad just frowned at me and folded his arms across his chest. "Well, damn, I was hoping you two would hit it off right away. I thought you two would have a lot of in common…"

"Uh, no. He was mad at the fact that I had my first pokemon before him. I mean, I told him that Vulpix was a gift from grandfather, but still…he should've just chilled."

"Good, you know, I sure was surprised that you managed to get here by yourself."

Truthfully, I wasn't sure to be offended or not with that comment he made, but he probably figured he was surprised that I got here so quick, but I'll just let that comment slide. I just nodded my head as he kept on talking. "Mm-hmm! Then I guess you're going to become a trainer like me, Evie?"

"Of course, you're an awesome trainer, why wouldn't I want to be like you?"

It was obvious he was proud of this and laughed, it made his day hearing that. Before he could comment on what I had to say, we heard the door open up and a soft spoken voice, a voice even softer than mine, start speaking which caused us to turn around and investigate the source of the voice. "Um…e-excuse me…I'd like to get a Pokemon…please."

The source of that voice was a young boy, who looked to be in early teens. He had light green hair, wore a blue button up shirt and had on greenish pants. He was actually really pale and his cheeks looked a little flush, which was hard to determine if he was sick or just warm. I mean, he was wearing a long button up shirt in the middle of the summer with pants…I'd be flushed too.

"Hm? Aren't you…You're Wally, right?"

"Y-yes…I'm supposed to go stay with my relatives in Verdanturf Town for a while. I thought I might get lonely by myself, so I wanted to bring a Pokemon with me. The issue is…I've never caught a Pokemon by myself…I'm not sure if I can." Wally muttered, as he gripped his messenger bag as tight as he could, he seemed really nervous.

"Mm-hmm. I see. Evie! You heard all that, right?"

Somehow the spot light ended up on me, causing me to go wide-eye for a split second. I pointed at myself dumbfounded for a moment, tilting my head to the side. "Uh…yeah, I did. Why?"

"Because I want you to go with Wally, and make sure that he safely catches a Pokemon." He explained as he pulled out a Poke Ball from his belt, handing it to Wally. "Here, I'll lend you one of my Pokemon."

"Oh, wow…your Pokemon sir?"

"Hmm…I'll give you a Poke Ball, too, so go give it your best shot."

"T-Thank you Mr. Norman." Wally turned to look at me, he was fidgeting a little, his face turning a deeper shade of red. "Uh…Evie? You will….you will come with me, right?"

As much as I had other things to do, I would feel bad for leaving this kid by himself catch a Pokemon, hell I've actually never caught a Pokemon before, but I knew I could help him out. Plus, dad would never had left me down for not helping Wally out. I gave Wally a warm smile and nodded my head, as I started to head out towards the door. "Of course, but we better hurry, the sun will be setting soon enough."

We head out to Route 102, during the walk to the route I noticed something was terribly wrong with him, he seemed out of breath and weak. A part of me wanted to ask if something was wrong with him, but the other part of me knew not to ask, as that just maybe who he really is. We walk over to the tall grass, he approached it slowly and turned to look at me, pointing toward the tall grass. "Evie…Pokemon hide in tall grass like this, don't they? Please watch me and see if I can one properly…whoa!"

A wild Ralts jumped out in front of him, which seemed to have scared the poor kid. Granted, I've had Pokemon jump out at me all day, from left and right, and scared the hell out of me, but it's still funnier to see someone else jump. Wally threw the Poke Ball gave him and out came out a Zigzagoon, which stared at the wild Ralts.

"I'm su-supposed to try to weaken the Pokemon before I throw my Poke Ball, right? I read that in a book recently."

"You got the concept, Wally."

"O-Okay. Zigzagoon…uh…use tackle." Wally said quietly, watching as the Pokemon ran toward Ralts and tackled it, knocking it to the ground. Ralts got back up and used growl on the Zigzagoon. "Okay…now use tackle once more." This time it hit Ralts square dead in the face, knocking it a few feet away. It got up once more and used growl again.

"Alright, Wally, now use a Poke Ball on the Ralts."

"O-Okay…"He threw the Poke Ball at it, he eyed that ball so hard that the Pokemon should've known it was being watched, he gulped a little, watching that ball go back and forth before it finally gave it and was captured.

"I did it...it's my…My Pokemon! Evie, thank you! Let's go back to the Gym." Wally squealed, as he picked up the Poke Ball and hugged it tightly. I couldn't help but just grin at him, I placed a hand on my hip and lend over him, placing my other hand on top of his head. "No need to thank me, it was all you."

"Let's head back to the gym."

It was finally dark out when they returned to the gym, which I was surprised that dad was still there, waiting on us. He grinned the moment he saw us come through that door, waving his hand toward us. "So did it go well?"

"Yes, it did! Thank you! Let me give you back your pokemon, sir." Dad took the Pokemon from him and immediately after he gave Zigzagoon back, he turned to look at me, blushing a little. "Evie…thank you so much for coming with me. It was all thanks to you two that I was able to catch Ralts. My very own Ralts…I will always, always treasure it!"

It really warmed my heart when he said that, he was entirely too sweet for his own good. "You don't have to thank me for anything Wally, I'm just glad I got to help you. You just take great care of Ralts, you hear?"

Wally nodded his head extremely fast. "Oh, I'm going to try my best together with Ralts. You do your best, too, Evie!" Wally looked down at his PokeNav and started to head for the door, turning his head to look at us one more time before he left. "My mom is waiting for me, so I've got to get going. I hope we'll meet again, Evie, and you too, Mr. Norman!"

Dad was rubbing his chin a little, still watching the door which Wally had disappeared through. "Hmm. That boy will be worth keeping an eye on. Oh, for now…Evie. If you want to become a strong as a trainer, listen to my advice. First, head to Rustboro City, which lies beyond this town. You'll challenge the Gym Leader, Roxanne, and after her, go on to the other Pokemon Gyms, and defeat their Leaders as well. Collect Badges from them, understand? Of course, I'm a Gym Leader, too. I'm sure we'll battle one day, but that will only be after you've become stronger, Evie."

My eyes light up in not only excitement, but determination. The day I get to battle dad will be one of the best battles of all time. I nodded my head, and held up fist, grinning. "Dad, I'm totally looking forward our battle, and I will win, no matter what."

Chucking a little, dad gave me a big hug, giving me a quick kiss on top of the head. "Oh, I have no doubt that you will beat me in a match. If you're anything like me dear, you'll become a Pokemon Master in no time."

"You think?"

"Of course, Evie! I'm sure you can easily take down that champion when it comes time to battle him."

I placed my finger on my lip, a smirk started to creep on my lips, as just thinking about beating the Pokemon League Champion would be the most amazing thing in the world. Before I could voice my thoughts on the matter, I started to feel the urge to yawn, which finally made its way out of my mouth. Dad just laughed and started to guide me to a room that was down the hall from where we were. "You've had a very long day, sweetie. There's a room down there where you can go to sleep at. You'll need the rest for traveling tomorrow and battling Roxanne."

"That sounds good to me, thanks a lot dad."

"You're welcome, honey, go get some sleep."

I walked into the room, dropped my bag on the floor, and collapsed on the bed. I was beyond exhausted, between moving to the new house and starting my journey as a Pokemon Trainer, my body had finally met its match. I was able to pull covers over and snuggle into the pillow, as much as a part of me wanted to fight sleep, the other part of me welcomed sleep with wide open arms. I slowly closed my eyes, as my mind started to drift off into dream world.
