Desiree sighed and looked around, content. She was a 13 year old, tanned, 5 foot 6 teen with flowing, red and black hair. She wore a cropped black jacket revealing her stomach, and some shorts with 3 pokeballs attached to her belt.

"Mom, are we here yet?" she said.

"Calm down Dezi, you know that Hoenn isn't THAT far away from Sinnoh. Now I know you're not exactly happy about this whole situation, but it's the best thing for all of us. I'm sure you'll get used to your new surroundings right away. In fact, I heard there was a Professor there." She pulled out a brochure with the face of a chubby man smiling happily. He was holding a Pokemon. "See? It says that he's Professor Birch. It doesn't say where his place is 'll eventually find out later." She leaned back onto the airplane's seat, petting her Growlithe, which slowly fell asleep onto her lap.

"But Mom, do we really have to keep moving around like this? It's making me tired. I mean, we've already been to Kanto, Sinnoh, Fiore, Johto, Isshu, and now Hoenn! Can't Dad stay in one place? Jesus…."

"Now now, you know very well that your father's been laid off everywhere he's been to. Unless you want to be sitting in a cardboard box for the rest of your life, you'd better get used to it. I hope that this'll be the last place that we'll have to travel as well. Besides, this'll be a nice new experience for you. You already have all your gym badges in Kanto, Johto, and Sinnoh. Don't you want to go to Hoenn and get gym badges? You, three do make an awfully nice team." She raised an eyebrow.

"Mom, you know that I only went to those gyms because I couldn't lie around all day."

"And you didn't enjoy challenging them?" she raised another eyebrow.

"PASSENGERS, PLEASE GATHER YOUR BELONGINGS, WE WILL BE LANDING IN HOENN IN 5 MINUTES. I REPEAT, PLEASE GATHER YOUR BELONGINGS, WE WILL BE LANDING IN 5 MINUTES. THANK YOU."

"Okay, let's go Desiree."

Desiree looked out of the window, staring at the lush plantlife and the scampering little dots on forest floors. She saw a big city, and a towering volcano in the distance.

Maybe it won't be so bad after all.
