Togepi's Tale
Chapter 3
Kay opened her mouth to speak as tears ran down her mother's face, but her father quickly out his finger over it. "Shush. We need to tal-" Kay interrupted, "I know what you are going to say, dad. It's not worth shedding tears over. I'm ready to go. I've been waiting for this for a long time."

Backpack on; Togepi on her shoulder, Kay was ready to leave for her never-ending adventure with her best friend, Togepi. Behind her, her parents waved good-bye as Kay walked farther and father away from her homeland.
"Togepi..." Kay said suddenly. "That was hard..."
Togepi chirred sympathetically. To just walk away from one's parents and childhood...that must be tough.

Togepi didn't know how long they walked. Hours and hours, perhaps. The sky grew dark and cloudy. The sun set. Still they pressed on.

It was night. Still they pressed on.

Stars glittered brightly in the sky by the time they stopped. Panting, Kay pitched up a tent and both human and Pokemon crept inside. Unrolling a sleeping bag, Kay sung a song,
Human and Pokemon,
Together as friends,
Their bond has been sealed;
It has no end.
Togepi snuggled herself in a blanket-made bed beside Kay's sleeping bag. Closing her eyes, she sung Kay's song over and over before she finally went to sleep.

Kay could not find sleep as easy.
She tossed and turned in her sleeping back as a sharp feeling pricked in the back of her head. She sat up, checking her head and pillow to see if a sharp object was causing the pain, but she found nothing.
Lying down again, she closed her eyes as tears started to stream down her face and onto the pillow as the sharp pricking started to grow more intense.
The pain grew and grew, until she finally blacked out.
