"And now in other news," began Ronald Towman, the news anchor, "we have one of Kalos' most popular presidential candidates, Walker Belmont."

The television screen then divided in two, as a new window popped up to show the introduced man. On his tanned face was a wide smile, showing that he was happy to be there. His green eyes are what appealed to most of the population as they made the broad, muscular blond look sincere, and honestly just likable.

"Thank you, Ronald. I appreciate the opportunity for another free interview." He chuckled in his deep voice.

"Now, Mr. Belmont, as you know this fall is the Kalos Region's presidential elections. You are soon making your way to the top of the ballet; do you have any fear that your position can be taken by any other competitors? Most of the other runner-ups do have much more political and economical experience than you. Some may feel that you are too fresh of a face."

Before answering the question, Walker smiled and looked straight into the camera. "Well most people would think that I should be. But in all honesty I am not. They may have the home field advantage, but I have a clean slate being from Johto, I am a… wildcard if you will. There is no broken trust between the Region and I, and no conflict has arisen since I have begun my campaign, thus no reason to worry." All was said with complete confidence.

The news anchor was taken aback by that statement and impressed on how well the question was answered. But like with all politics, the man's words would be twisted into repulsive article titles like "Belmont Challenges Opponents!" or "Fearless Expatriate?"

"And now one more quick question before you leave." Ronald said as he looked at his note sheets. "It is rumored that you will be making a spectacular appearance at the Kalos League during the same time as elections. Are you able to 'spill the beans' on what kind of appearance it may be?"

"Well Ronald, I would love to tell. But there has to be some sense of mystery about me doesn't there? After all I am the wild card, Haha!" Walker laughed with his hands clasped on his lap.

The two men shared the moment of laughter and then the candidate was dismissed from the screen.

With a click of the remote control the TV was shut off.

"Like grandma said, it's the perfect time for a journey." Said the husky voice of Kane, who had finished getting dressed and examined himself in the mirror.

His medium length brown hair in a shaggy style complimented his sharp facial features and bright green eyes nicely. Hugging his lean frame was a bright blue long sleeve athletic shirt, with his right sleeve cutting off at the shoulder to leave his arm bare. On his right wrist was a gold wristwatch. Khaki flat front shorts clung to his hips and stopped just before his knees to reveal toned calves. Finally he has blue converse.

Content with how he looks, Kane flew out of his room and nearly tripped on his way down the stairs, causing his mom to scold him.

"You know I told you no running in the house." She castigated sarcastically and handed him his black one strapped bag, knowing that this would be the last time she could scold him.

"Sorry mom, I had to get some more trouble out before I leave." He replied as she came in to embrace him in a tight hug. "Come on, don't do this now." Sighed the boy fighting for air.

Coming in through the front door with the morning paper was his father who looked at his son with pride. What a fine young man he has raised.

"I can't believe that it is time for you to begin your journey." The tall man said, somewhat in disbelief. He then became the third addition to the group hug. "But remember that I actually started mine at ten. Just saying." He whispered into his sixteen year old son's hair.

Kane took the comment lightly as his father often teased him about starting late. But hey, some people are just late bloomers!

Kane wasn't a hugging fan and found the opportunity to escape. "Well if that's the case I should really be hitting the road. Trevor will be waiting with the other beginning trainers anyway." He said and pulled away.

"You're right. I will just start crying if you take longer." His mother said and pretended to wipe tears off her face, gaining a smile from her son.

"Just make sure to be safe." Said his father too late as Kane was already out the door before he could hear. The parents sighed, as they knew their energetic teen was about to tackle the world. Whether in a good way or a bad way they had no idea.

Outside, Kane dashed out of his yard and ran into the street with the morning sunlight hitting the back of his neck. Before he ran out of energy, he came to a walk but still held a cheesy grin on his face.

As he passed by many of the houses, he waved goodbye to some familiar faces, like the widowed elderly woman, Ms. Goodwin. Kane would especially miss her, as she was one of his closer friends. Because being in Vaniville Town, you could only make friends with a handful of people, and the elderly were most of them. But now he was bouncing up and down just thinking about what adventure he could finally take on. An adventure full of fun, mystery, and everything else that comes with it!

Minutes went by and he reached Route 1 and saw that it was exactly 9:30 AM, meaning he had half an hour to reach Aquacorde Town to meet Trevor on time.

Kane looked down on his wristwatch with the first frown of his journey and groaned, "Great, now Trevor is going to scold me for being late, like always."

He had no time to admire the vegetation lining the route, the trees, shrubs, and flowers all went by in a blur as he began to run again, in hopes of not being late.

But even though he might be late, he thought of it as the first obstacle on his journey.

"I still can't get over this." Kane said to himself and was about to jump out of his skin from excitement. As me got closer he began to see a black shape up ahead on the road. Both he and the object were moving towards one another, and eventually Kane saw it was a black limousine.

He stopped as it approached, which caught him as strange. Few people ever drove any type of vehicle so it must have been somebody quite important.

Coming to a halt beside him, the tinted rear window rolled down. Kane's jaw dropped when he saw who was inside smiling back at him.

"Hey, kid. Going somewhere in a hurry?" asked Walker Belton with his perfect, blinding smile.

"I-I uh," Kane seemed speechless for once, "what are you doing going to Vaniville Town?"

"I asked first." Walker shot back playfully.

"Well I am meeting a friend in Aquacorde to get my starter pokemon." Kane admitted but was still astonished at his findings.

Walker seemed to ponder on a thought. A moment later he asked, "Can I give you a lift? It won't be that long out of my way, after all we are just a few minutes away."

"That would be great!" Kane exclaimed and got into the limo as the politician held the door open for him.

Once inside, Walker instructed the driver to turn around and head back to Aquacorde.

"So you are becoming a trainer?" asked the blond man, already knowing the answer.

Kane nodded, "And I saw on the news that you are going to be part of the Pokemon League somehow. I hope I have my badges so that I can attend and see you."

"Well yes, though it is a surprise." Walker played it off cool. "But between you and me," he whispered, "My appearance will be world-changing."

Those words got Kane even more pumped up to compete in the Kalos League and he soon began to repeatedly tap his foot to release some energy. A few more minutes of small talk and the limousine arrived at the small but lively town of Aquacorde.

"Have fun on your journey, and here have this." Pulling from his suit's pocket, Walker handed Kane a campaign button that said Vote For Belton! on it. "Good luck!" he said as the car pulled off.

Kane was dropped off in front of the brick arch, leading into town. Most of the town seemed to be made of brick, which Kane found odd and not modern like Lumiose. Upon entering the township, Kane pulled out his map and found the circled area where he was supposed to meet up. Then he checked his watch and saw that it was 10:05.

"Oh crap, I'm late!" he exclaimed in a panic and began to run in the direction marked. He had absolutely no time to enjoy the scenery, but noted the large brick buildings that looked ancient but were well maintained.

Turning the corner to what he think was the library, Kane saw a group of people in sitting at some tables about one hundred yards away. Trevor's bright orange hair stood out to him but the remaining people were still a mystery.
