Amelia stayed quiet while her mom drove the car; they were moving to Littleroot Town, a place that was different from what Amelia was used too. She wasn't looking forward to moving, she already missed being in the cities but her parents insisted that they moved to Littleroot. Her father was Prof. Elm who was a pokemon researcher, and he wanted Amelia and her mom to live closer to him so he was able to spend more time with them.
"Moving out in the country will be good for your health too, remember what happened back in Goldenrod?" her mother said to her. Though Amelia missed the city, it was terrible on her health. She has had asthma since she was a child and the doctors have seen her often while she was growing up if she had an asthma attack.
"I know mom, but what if no one likes me here?" Amelia sighed and felt small in the car, she held onto her bag tightly.
"I'm sure you'll make friends besides a lot of the kids at the school have their own pokemon…maybe someone will convince you to get your own?" her mom suggested. Amelia shook her head,
"No thanks…just because I'm fifteen don't mean I need a pokemon, they still freak me out". Amelia's mom looked at her daughter but said nothing else, not wanting to upset Amelia she sighed and continued to drive to their new home.
"How was the drive?" Prof. Elm greeted his wife and daughter as they arrived in Littleroot town
"The drive was fine, did the movers get here ok?" she asked him. Prof. Elm nodded and smiled,
"yep they are at the house right now, Amelia I want you to meet someone will you come with me?" Amelia nodded and followed her father into his lab. The other researchers greeted them when they walked by them while they worked.
"dad, who are we meeting?" Amelia asked with curiosity
"He helps me with my pokemon research, and he also attends the school where you will be going so I figured you two should meet. He can help you on your first day tomorrow" Prof. Elm said to her cheerfully.
A boy with a black pants a red jacket and a yellow hat he sported wearing backwords was sitting on a table he looked up and smiled as Prof. Elm and Amelia walked up to him. "Hey! I'm Ethan, you must be the professor's daughter Amelia?" he asked as he looked at her.
"Why else would a girl my age that looks like him be walking right next to him" she said back to Ethan.
"Now Amelia be nice to Ethan, he said he will help you on your first day at the new school tomorrow" her father frowned at his daughter.
Amelia stayed quiet, "sorry dad…."
Ethan shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "hey don't worry about it Proffessor. Do you want me to show you around town Amelia?"
"Sure I guess," Amelia looked at her father, "I'll see you at home later, I have to get a few things done here first before I leave" he said to her.
The two teenagers left the lab with Ethan doing most of the talking, while Amelia asked simple questions but mostly kept quiet and listened.
"You don't seem to like it out here, different then the big city?" Ethan asked her they were sitting under a tree on top of a small hill, the town could be seen from on top of the hill
Amelia nodded, "it's a change, but I know my parents are happy to be able to spend more time together. When me and my mom lived in Goldenrod my dad could only visit on the weekends, but living here it will be nice seeing him every day. I'm just worried about the school and not making any friends"
Ethan laughed lightly, "You already have me as a friend, so don't worry about school tomorrow ok? I'll help you out if you get lost". Amelia smiled at Ethan, hanging out with him perked her mood up since arriving in Littleroot town and she was thankful for it.
"Who is that?" Amelia noticed someone in the distance; it was a boy with red hair.
"Oh, that's just Soul, he isn't much of a people person. We grew up together, he lives with his aunt and my mom is friends with her so he kind of has to deal with me" Ethan explained with a smirk.
Soul walked over to the two of them, "Ethan you owe me money from yesterday" Soul said to the boy, ignoring Amelia.
"Well hello to you to Soul, aren't you going to say hi to Amelia? She just moved here from Goldenrod city" Ethan said. Soul glanced at Amelia but said nothing to her,
"I don't care who she is Ethan just pay me back from yesterday, you owe me for lunch".
Amelia almost wanted to say something to the red haired boy but didn't, she didn't have any words to say. Ethan rolled his eyes and took his wallet out and gave Soul the money, "honestly why do you have to be such a jerk Soul?"
Soul counted the money, "stop you're complaining Ethan, if my aunt wasn't friends with your mom I wouldn't even talk to you. See you at school tomorrow" and with that he left without a word to Amelia.
"What's his problem?" Amelia asked right away as soon as Soul was out of ear shot.
"I really don't know he has been like that since we were kids. I think it has something to do with his dad but he won't ever talk to me about it. I'm his only friend whether he wants to admit it or not since everyone else at school can't stand him because of how he treats people and his attitude is terrible" Ethan explained.
Amelia didn't say anything and listened to Ethan, "I hope he isn't in any of my classes tomorrow"
"He is a straight A student, he takes the harder classes so I doubt he will be in any of your classes" Ethan reassured her.
"Are you a straight A student?" Amelia asked Ethan.
"What me? Well not really" Ethan said and laughed, and Amelia laughed with him.
"So are you feeling any better about living in the little town of Littleroot?" Ethan asked her.
Amelia nodded, "yea, it's not that bad actually now that I actually see it instead of just over thinking about it".
"So since Prof. Elm is your dad do you have your own pokemon?" Ethan asked her suddenly.
"Umm, no I don't have my own pokemon yet…" Amelia told him though she didn't want to say anything to him.
"How come? I have one but he is at home right now, he gets pretty spirited sometimes" Ethan said.
Amelia wasn't sure what to tell Ethan, she didn't want to tell him the truth of why she didn't have a pokemon of her own, "I guess my dad hasn't found the right one to give me…"
Ethan noticed that the conversation made Amelia uncomfortable so he didn't say anything more about it.
Amelia looked at him, "we should probably head back, don't want to keep my parents waiting I'm sure my parents are waiting for me".
"Yea, let's get going you got a long day tomorrow with school" Ethan smirked again showing that he was being playful. Amelia smiled, since the first time arriving in Littleroot she felt alone and scared. But now she felt more confident, Ethan said he was her friend. Maybe this town wasn't so terrible after all.
