"Alright, Alani, today's the day! We're moving to Alola!"
I heard my mom calling me from downstairs. Rolling onto my side, I let out a heavy sigh. Sure, it was cool that we were going to live in the Alola region, but it was hard for me to leave Pallet Town. I lived here my whole life, after all. There were so many fond memories I'd be leaving behind. Even though I had known for three months that we'd be moving, i was still hard to wrap my head around the concept.
As I continued to lay in bed, our family Meowth, Mewy, wandered into my room. He hopped onto my bed and held something in front of me. It was an Awakening.
"Heh, thanks, Mewy," I mumbled as I took the item and forced myself out of bed. With groggy movements, I managed to put on the clothes I had laying at the foot of my bed. They were fairly casual, since we would be traveling to Alola by ship, and, including the time it would take to get to the port at Vermilion City, it would take at least a week to get there.
I started down the stairs, brush my long, brown hair while also trying to avoid tripping on Mewy. Once I got to the kitchen, I saw that my mom had already made us breakfast.
"Oh, there you are!" my mom said. "I thought for a moment there that you were still asleep."
"Nah," I replied, holding up the Awakening. "Mewy helped me out."
Mom smiled at Mewy. "Oh, thank you, Mewy! You kept me from having to drag Alani out of bed."
"Mrow!" Mewy exclaimed proudly, puffing out his chest.
We laughed. Mewy had a talent for making any situation lighter. He was a natural jokester.
After we had a light breakfast, we all piled into the car. Most of our belongings were being sent to our new house by plane, so it was fairly empty in the car. We hit the road with the moon shining down on us, towards a new home, new friends, and, for me, the adventure of a lifetime.
(Obligatory disclaimer that I don't own the Pokemon franchise. I did, however, come up with most of the Pokemon nicknames you will see in the story.) (Also, rated T for a few swear words here and there, Bad Parents™, messed-up happenings in waaay later chapters, and probably other things I'm forgetting at the moment.)
Hey, hey, hey, everyone! Sketchachu here, and my creative gears are going strong thanks to Sun and Moon! Wowie, those games had the best story out of all the main-series games! I had avoided spoilers starting when they first revealed the starters, so I had no clue what to expect, and I was just blown the heck away! Anyways, I decided to try and make a lil story based on how I imagined my journey through Moon went. There's obviously gonna be changes here and there, but other than that, it'll follow the story of the games. Since this intro's pretty short, I'll be posting the first chapter later today.
Happy New Year!
