"All right, Molly, are you sure you're up for this?"
Molly puffed out her cheeks and tied her hair back into its blue ribbon. "Yes, Papa!" It was hard to be patient. Her papa was old and her mother had returned and he'd just gotten the whole family back. That was everything she had wanted too. Still!
"I'm gonna be fine!" she insisted. "I'm just going to the next town!"
It was practice. She was only nine, she couldn't do her application for ages. So until she could, she wanted to practice trekking across areas, like Ash.
"I'll be fine," she repeated. "I'll have Mary and Usu to protect me." Looking back, she really needed a better choice in nicknames. But she had been five!
Her father knelt and mussed her hair. "I know they will." His eyes flickered towards where her mother was sitting on the balcony. Her gaze was knowing, but nothing more. Molly wanted to sigh at it, but she knew better and merely adjusted the Pokeballs on her white belt. Her father stepped away, a reluctant frown on his features.
Tapping her shoes to make sure they were on and not going to go flying off of her feet like they had early this morning, Molly adjusted the tiny bag on her back and made her way towards the entrance of the mansion grounds. "Bye Mama, Papa!"
Her father waved, and her mother sipped her tea.
She was just delivering seeds to the town across the way. What were they worried about?
