Chapter One: And so it began
Luna woke up. For a second, she felt tired but then she remembered that it was her fifteenth birthday. She had waited for what felt like an eternity. Finally she could start her journey across the Kanto region. As a law by the UR (United Regions) committee, no one under the age of 15 was allowed to begin a journey alone and neither receive a traditional starter pokemon nor get a Trainer Card.
Today Luna would receive her own Trainer Card, which would allow her to participate in official battles. Though she had already battled before in the Pokemon Trainer School, the only place where minors legally could battle.
Luna and her mother lived peacefully in the little town called Pallet Town, which was located southwest of the Kanto region's mainland. South of the town was the open sea and a small beach, where a small market was located. However, because of her desire to travel, meet new people and doing something that she has never done before, Luna was not able to fully appreciate the life style. This often led to arguments with her mother, as Luna's mother wanted Luna to either study at the Technical Institute or take over the family flower shop.
Luna decided that it was time to go to Professor Oak's lab, as she would get her starter pokemon there. She put on a white, sleeveless tank top and a pair of red shorts. She had already packed a red bag with some extra clothes, some bread and most of her money. She didn't have that much money, but she knew that she probably would survive at least a few days with the bread. Plus, once she was out of bread, she probably would've earned some money, somehow.
Luna walked down the stairs. She did not know if she wanted to have a tearful goodbye or not. Standing at the end of the stairs, Luna heard her mother singing to a song. Luna decided that she could return home after getting her starter. Then she could say goodbye.
She opened the front door as quiet as she could. Her mother was still singing when Luna closed the door. Luna started to walk away from the house when she realised that she had forgotten her cap. She turned around and ran back to the house. Once she got closer, she started to slow down. When she was at the door, she opened it slowly.
Luna nearly got a heart attack. Her mother was standing inside, holding her red cap with a white front. After what felt like minutes had passed, Luna's mother handed over the cap.
"I guess you forgot something" she said.
Luna saw that her mother had cried, even though she was smiling at the moment.
"I'm sure your father would've loved to see you now" her mother continued. "Please, don't forget to visit me sometime."
Luna was just standing at the doorway, not sure what to do. Tears started to stream down her face when she started to hug her mother. She wasn't sure when she would meet her mother the next time, but she knew that they would meet again someday. After minutes, Luna's mother said:
"Goodbye Luna. I wish nothing but the best on your journey."
Luna didn't know what to say so she turned around and ran away. She didn't look backwards until she was closer to the lab.
