Today is the day, the day of new beginnings. Wow, how cliché. Regardless today is the day I start my pokemon journey, officially anyway. I'm sorry allow me to elaborate on the situation, my name is Hale Topaz. I'm a 16 year old kid from Accumula Town, though my hometown is Nuvema Town. I have medium length layered black hair and brown eyes. My height is 5'6. My out fit consists of black chuck taylors, black skinny jeans, a blue v-neck shirt, and a black blazer. I have never ventured Unova farther than Striaton city. Actually I obtained the Striaton City gym badge a year ago but never got farther than that. I have a Togetic and Electivire which I have been with since I was small child. They're both wonderful partners and friends. To be honest I don't have a lot of friends. I moved here from Nuvema town when I was 14, it's not that far but I rarely see my best friends. Speaking of which my best friends are the reason I'm officially starting my journey. Today is the day they're receiving their starter pokemon. I talked to them on the phone and they said I should go pay a visit and see their new pokemon. So I'm just about packed with my pokemon in their pokeballs, ready to go to Nuvema. After I said goodbye to my parents I started walking to route 1, of course not without receiving a lecture from my mom to call her constantly. Nuvema isn't that far but its quite a walking distance, damn sometimes I wish I had a red corvette full of girls to drive me places. But what kid has those things right?
Later that morning...
It's been two hours since I walked from Accumula Town and I have about a couple more miles to walk. Damn I hope I have my inhaler with me. After a few more miles I decide to take a break by the water on route 1, I wonder what route it leads too. Anyway I pull out a sandwich I made before I left and started eating it. Actually now that think about it for a skinny guy, I eat a lot. Go figure. As I was chomping away the sandwich I looked along the bank of the water and noticed a girl fishing. She was dressed in blue jeggings, a black v-neck, and a bright blue hoodie. Her shoes we're off and her feet were resting in the water. She had black hair tied in a ponytail, really bright hazel eyes, and fair pale skin. Dammit now I sound really creepy. The fact that I have a ponytail fetish doesn't help either. After a few moment I realized I recognized the girl. While smiling I stood up and lazily finished my snack and started walking towards her.
"Hey you, long time no see!" I said.
She turned to see who was talking, then she smiled jumped up and ran towards me. She ended tackling me on the ground into a hug.
"Hey you, I haven't seen you in a while! You're here!" she said with much enthusiasm.
After a moment of suffocating hugs. We stood up and dusted the dirt off us.
"Nice to see you Rose." I said with a smirk.
"Aren't you suppose to be in Juniper's Lab getting your pokemon?"
"Nah she's not there yet, I'm just killin time. You're awfully early now. Excited to go off on your journey?" she said with the same smile as she had on.
"Well maybe I'm just excited to see you cutie." I said giving her a wink afterward.
"Tsk. Dork." she said with a playful grin.
"Anyway we should go see if Juniper is back now." she said as she was putting on her shoes.
"Sure lead the way kid." I said
We both made our way to Nuvema walking and talking about recent events. It was really nice to be honest I really miss her. There's no need to get into our past at the moment.
"Here we are!" she said snapping me out of my thought.
We were here, standing on the border of my hometown Nuvema. It feels great here, really peaceful.
"Lets head over to the lab now kay?" I said to Rose.
"Sure, Let's go!" she said as she was running in the directions of the lab.
I ran towards her trying my best to keep up. That chick was always more athletic than me. Next stop to see my best friend and soon to be rival.
