The Young Master's Quest: Ch. 5: Get Going Already!

At the castle…

"Is everything ready?" Prince Israel asked.

"Yes dear. Everything is ready for your journey." Queen Maureen said, pointing to a brown backpack near the entrance to the castle.

"Alright! I'm ready for my journey." The prince said.

"Oh no you're not." King Israel said as he walked into the room.

"What do ya mean? Of course I'm ready." The prince replied.

"No, you're not. Think about it." The king started again. "There are tons of killers around that would stop at nothing to destroy the royal family."

"So?" Prince Israel asked.

"So, you can't leave until you make up a name for yourself & change your appearance." The king retorted.

"Ok. Don't worry. See? I already made up a name for myself." Prince Israel said.

"What is it, then?" Asked the king & queen.

"My name shall be known as…'Izzy.'" Israel III replied.

"Oh darling! That's such a great name! Can I make that your nickname?" The queen asked. Prince Israel sweatdropped.

"Uhhh…sure."

"Dear, don't forget. You can't take your legendary pokémon with you. You don't want to run into that awful Team Rocket, right?"

"Yes. I understand." Prince Israel replied. "If you'll excuse me, I'll get ready for dinner."

"Alright. See you in a few." The king said.

Prince Israel walked to the royal vault to get some money for his journey. After filling his wallet, he made his way to the arena to switch pokémon (Three times in one day!?). He wanted to use strong, but fun pokémon, so he chose to take Sadie, his charizard, pidgeot, alakazam, dragonite, and gyarados.

Once his team was ready, he sent out Sadie from her gold master ball.

"Meowth!" Sadie happily cried as she jumped into her master's arms.

"Hey, Sadie. Did ya miss me?" Israel asked. Sadie replied by licking his cheek. Israel smiled. "Let's go get dinner." Sadie jumped on Israel's left shoulder & the two made their way to the dining room. When they got there, the family was already eating. Sadie jumped down from Israel & went to her nearby dish to eat.

"So, what are you going to do about your gym?" Israel's mom asked as he was sitting down.

"Like I said this morning, I'm going to keep the gym closed until I come back here. Then I'll keep it open for about a week before I leave again." Israel replied.

"Oh. Alright." The queen said.

"By the way, what's in the backpack you got me?" Prince Israel asked.

"Well there is enough food for you & your pokémon to eat for a week, a hundred master balls to catch any new pokémon you see, a lot of healing items for your pokémon, a first aid kit for you, and camping supplies." His mom explained.

"Wow Mom! Thanks a lot!" Israel III said.

After dinner, Prince Israel went to his room to write in his journal. It was hard covered, with gold outlining, a purple background inside the outlining, and a red jewel in the center. He wrote everything that happened today. From when he came up with the idea to go on another journey to the tournament.

After he wrote in his journal, Israel went to the balcony of his room & looked up at the sky. It was a clear night & the stars were shining brightly, despite the city lights.

'I hope that I can meet a new friend & perhaps the one girl who will be my queen when I ascend to the throne of Johto.' He thought to himself. Israel went back inside to go to bed. He laid awake in his bed for a few minutes before going to sleep. He was thinking about the adventures he'll have on his journey. Slowly, but surely, he drifted off to sleep, knowing that his quest starts tomorrow.

The next day…

Prince Israel awoke with a great start that morning. He had to put on clothes that made him look rich, but not too rich so that nobody would know who he is. He decided to wear a pair of khaki pants, a red shirt, a black jacket, and a blue bucket hat. Once he was ready, he went to the dining room to have breakfast. Afterwards, he grabbed his backpack & proceeded outside to say good bye to his family.

"Mom, Dad, Kalani," Prince Israel started. "I shall leave to go on my journey. I'll return soon to rest before the next league."

"Good bye Israel." Said Prince Kalani. "Please come back safely." He & Prince Israel shook hands.

"Son, good luck. Come back in one piece." King Israel said as they too shook hands.

"Israel." Queen Maureen said. "Please be careful. Call me everyday. Don't be afraid to come home if you have too. In case of snake bite—"

"Mom! I'll be alright!" Prince Israel interrupted.

"Ok. I love you, baby." The queen replied. She was about to cry.

"Please don't cry. I love you too, Mom." The oldest prince said & they hugged. When they broke from the hug, Prince Israel walked a few feet away from his family and grabbed a golden master ball from his belt.

"Go! Pidgeot!" He yelled as he threw the master ball. In a bright flash, the eagle-like pokémon appeared. "Well good bye everyone." He hopped on Pidgeot's back.

"Good bye. Remember to call." His mom said.

"Ok.Bye. Let's go! Pidgeot!" Prince Israel ordered.

"Pidg ah!" Screeched Pidgeot as it flew off towards the forest at the south entrance of the city.
