Tari
Things seem so quiet here. I'm used to hearing cars go by, and my Mom watching Friends in the next room. But out here in the Viridian Forrest, it's virtually silent. The crickets are chirping, and my radio's playing, but aside from that, there's nothing.
Hikari, my female Growlithe is asleep next to me. She's beautiful, Tari, and very friendly. You'd love her.
I left home just over 12 hours ago, but it feels like so much longer. Hikari and I are getting along fine. I can't understand her of course, but as time goes on, I'm sure that will change.
We were only on the rode a few minutes when we came across an injured Pidgi. His wings were all scratched up, and when I came closer to him, the poor thing tried moving away. He was scared of me!
Hikari seemed to know that I only wanted to help him, and hurried to reassure him. Finally, he let me bandage his wings, but I didn't put him in a Pokeball. I didn't want to capture him if he didn't want to go with me.
I brought him to a Pokemon center, and Nurse Joy gave him a real checkup. She said aside from his cuts he was fine physically. But he still seems a little scared of me and of humans in general.
I asked Hikari to ask him if he'd like to come with me, and he finally said yes. I told him that I would release him any time he likes and he seemed relieved by that.
I like keeping at least one of my Pokemon out of their Pokeball as I walk, just so I can have some company. Flash, which is what I have named the Pidgi, because of Pidgiots quick speed, usually doesn't like to stay out much. He can't fly very well, and doesn't trust me enough to pirtch on my shoulder.
I named my Growlithe Hikari because of Growlithe's fire ability. Hikari means light, so I thought it fit. Anyway, Hikari loves it though. She runs around sniffing everything, but always seems to know not to stray too far from me.
Tari, it's so pretty here. It's the perfect temperature. A nice fall breeze rustles the leaves, and the ground is carpeted with a layer of colorful leaves. I just took a picture of Hikari sleeping in the leaves. She looks so adorable, I'll send you a copy if you'd like.
So how was your first day in Joto? I hope it was just as enjoyable as mine. Life in Pallet seems so long ago. I've only been gone a day, but it feels like a whole different lifetime. My journey as a Pokemon trainer is almost like a different life entirely.
This is the beginning of a new life for me, for both of us. "That's cheesy," you're screaming at me, but it seems fitting.
I can tell you didn't get your Pokemon of choice, but I hope the rest of your day was enjoyable. Please answer soon!
Love Cassie
