Veronica, the 14-year-old girl, had no interest in raising Pokemon or caring about them, for that matter. That's how she differed from every other kid around.

But this was a serious situation. Her father was very sick and in need of some medicine. But, his medical assistance is all the way in Cyan Town, a place that was too far away from their home. The pilot who was originally his servant, Marcus, had died in a crash due to a plane failure. Veronica really liked Marcus, as he was really nice to her, and hearing him pass away was dreadful to her. She'd have to walk all the way to Cyan Town. Now, of course, when you propose a 14 year old teenager to walk that distance, they're going to be annoying and really reluctant at first. But if she wanted to help her father, you would find out she would be the only one in the entire family capable of doing it. She had already lost Marcus. She can't lose her father too. Today is the day she would wake up first thing in the morning, get ready, and go out. Or at least that was the plan...

"Veronica! You hit the snooze button 2 times! How can you forget this is the day we planned out to be the one where you would wake up early and no more reluctant whining!" Veronica woke up to the sight of her mother's angry face staring at her.

"Why do I have to do it... Why can't my brother Damian do it?" Veronica said, as if no one had told her anything.

"Oh no, young lady, we're not starting with this again. Your brother has a mental disability and you know that. Your grandma is too old to go on a journey, and I'm too busy taking care of both of them!" Her mother angrily replied.

"But.."

"NO! You will get up on your feet, change out of your pajamas, and get downstairs this instant!" And with that, her mother almost tripped, and then ran downstairs as if she was on a race.

"UGH! You..." Veronica stopped. She knew she would spit out something she would regret later.

Fine, I have to do it. My father has been out of home because of his sickness for several years now. No excuses, she thought.

She looked in the mirror and changed out of her fluffy pajamas. She brushed her curly red hair so it wouldn't get all tangled in her face. She brushed her teeth and went downstairs.

"VERONICA!" Her brother said randomly.

"Good morning.. Veronica... Y-you know the condition my son is in... and.. well..."

"I know. I'm going." Veronica replied and cut off her grandmother's voice.

"OH. You're finally UP. Have some breakfast before you go, dear." Her mom said.

"No, Mom, really. I'm okay."

"Have a banana at least. You could eat that along the way.."

"Okay, fine." Veronica replied, as she grabbed the banana from her mother's hands and started peeling it.

"We love you, honey.." Veronica's mother said as she gave her one final hug.

"Be careful out there... You are a blessing to our family." Veronica's grandmother said.

Her mother encouraged Damian to say farewell to her. "Bye bye bye, sis!"

"You have your phone? Here, I set up this bag for you... All your clothes, shoes, toothbrush, bloo-"

"Okay, I get it. I'll call if anything comes up. Goodbye guys."

"Goodbye, dear! Be brave like your father taught you to be."

Veronica waved goodbye as she closed the door.
