Hoenn Stories: Judy's Adventure
Prologue
Moving
Judy was sitting on a crowded bus, blocking out the sound of her mother's talking. She had shoulder-length indigo hair, and a burgundy hair band, though it didn't keep her slightly spiky bangs out of her face, and pale jade eyes with a pale heart-shaped face. She had a dark blue shirt on, and a fluffy black and blue scarf she had knitted last year. She had a black and blue plaid skirt on, and black leggings under that. She had a pair of comfortable boots on as well, and had them laced up all the way.
Her mother, on the other hand, had light brown hair and narrow gray eyes, and a rather angular face. She wore a green sweater with brown pants, giving Judy the mental image of some sort of tree.
Judy sighed again, looking at her black and blue painted nails. Her mother had gotten a new job, and now they were moving to where the job was going to be, meaning that she had to leave her old home, her old school, even her old friend Lizzie, to go off and live somewhere completely different. She was leaving Ecreteuk city, the place she had lived all her life, and was now going to some whole other place...
Well, at least if she moved, she wouldn't run into the Kimono Girls, which would save her some shame, at least...
"If Dad was still here, we wouldn't have had to move..." she mumbled to herself, sighing sadly.
"Your father has been dead for twelve years, Jude, now will you pay attention to what I'm saying?" her mother said rather sharply.
Judy glared at her, before standing up. "I'm going to sit somewhere else." With that, she stood up, and started looking for a seat. No, no, that wasn't...no...ah! There!
She quickly darted over to the open seat, before sitting down. She now sat next to a crimson-haired boy, and he just stared out the window, seemingly disinterested. His eyes were reddish as well. He wore a black jacket with red lining and black jeans.
Judy fiddled with her skirt, blinking at the minimized Pokeballs on his belt. Intimidating and gruff though he appeared, at least he was quiet, unlike her mother...
Several Hours later in Olivine City...
Judy climbed off the bus, grabbing her small suitcase and following her mother to a ship at the dock. Apparently where they were going was too far to take a train, so they were taking a ship. Judy bit her lip; she hadn't been on a ship since Dad died...
She shook her head, before following her mother up the ramp onto the ship.
No stopping now, she mentally groaned, dragging her wheeled suitcase behind her as she turned her back on her old home region...
