Chapter 2: Getting Ready

"Rinoa! Dodge out of the way and use faint attack!" Terra shouted to the feline Pokemon, who jumped out of the way just in time to get out of the way of bulbasuar's vine whip.

:Right: Rinoa called back, suddenly fading out until she disappeared.

"Bulbasaur, watch out! It could come from anywhere!" Ash called to the plant Pokemon.

Rinoa reappeared behind bulbasuar, slashing at it with her silver claws.

The plant Pokemon leapt away, only getting grazed by the attack.

"Solar Beam!" Ash shouted.

Bulbasuar jumped into the air, taking in as much sunlight as it could before firing a high powered beam of sunlight down upon the oddly colored Meowth.

"Oh no! Rinoa!" Terra exclaimed, watching the feline get tossed into the air and sent rolling on the ground to her feet, spirals in her eyes.

Terra picked up the Pokemon, cradling her in her arms and patting her head.

"You did really good Rinoa." She said. "You deserve a good rest and lots of tuna."

With that said the Meowth was placed back in her pokeball.

Terra stood up from the ground and brushed off her pants. She looked over at Ash, who had withdrew his bulbasuar and was scratching the back of his head, looking at her apologetically.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to be so hard on you two." He said. "Guess we just sort of got carried away."

Terra shook her head, giving Ash a lopsided smile.

"Nah, that's okay. We need to be as strong as we can get if we're gonna set out tomorrow." She replied.

Ash nodded.

"Alright." He answered, then looked up at the sky that was beginning to turn a dark blue as night began setting in. "Come on, let's get home. Mom's probably wondering where we are by now." His stomach rumbled and he sweat dropped. "And I'm kinda hungry too."

:So am I: Pikachu said from his shoulder.

Terra laughed, and the two of them headed back towards their house.

ooOOoo

"We're home!" Both Terra and Ash called out at the same time as the entered their house.

"Hey you two! You made it just in time! Dinner's ready!" Delilah's voice called from the kitchen.

Terra cheered from inside her head and rushed into the kitchen, sitting down at the table. She released Rinoa from her pokeball, and the cat Pokemon, now feeling a bit better, awaited her food as well.

As Ash entered the kitchen, the doorbell rang. Everyone looked at the door curious, and finally Terra shrugged, walking over to the door and opening it.

"Terra! How are you!" Said a familiar female voice.

"Auntie Jenny!" Terra exclaimed happily, giving the woman a hug and letting her inside, leading her to the kitchen.

"Oh hello Officer Jenny!" Delilah said when she caught sight of the blue-haired policewoman. "What brings you here today?"

Jenny smiled.

"I hear Terra's starting her journey tomorrow." She said.

Terra nodded excitedly.

"Yeah! I can't wait! This is going to be so cool! Me'n Rinoa are going to get those gym badges, right?"

:Definitely! There won't be anyone who can stop us: Rinoa cheered.

Terra smiled broadly, and Jenny chuckled.

"Well, it's going to be awful difficult to get those gym badges with only one Pokemon." The officer said. "Here, take this. Think of this as a going away present to you.

Jenny held out a pokeball, and Terra took it with wide eyes.

"For me?" She asked.

Jenny nodded.

"For you." She answered. "Just make sure you take good care of her. She can have quite a temper when she gets riled up."

Terra released the pokeball, and from the red light came a cool, but not surprising Pokemon.

"It's a Growlith!" Terra said happily, petting the dog's red and black fur.

:Hey, don't forget about me: Rinoa exclaimed, butting her head in to get some petting as well.

Terra laughed, petting the two Pokemon.

Delilah sighed and turned towards Jenny.

"Do you think she'll be okay going on the trainer's journey? She's not from here, so what if she gets lost, or something bad happens?" The red head asked.

"I think she'll do fine." Jenny replied, watching as Terra and Ash petted their Pokemon. "She's only a novice now, but who knows how strong she may become. She may even be a Pokemon Master some day."

Delilah smiled softly.

"Yes, I guess you're right." She said softly, but then said much more loudly, "Alright, let's eat, shall we?"

"Yes!" They all cheered.

ooOOoo

"Are you sure you have everything? Clothes, food, underwear, feminine hygiene products?" Delilah asked Terra the next day as they stood at the city limits.

"Mom!" Terra exclaimed, her face turning pink with embarrassment.

Everyone there laughed at Terra's misfortune, which only made her turn even redder.

"I'm sorry sweetie." Delilah said, patting the girl on the head.

Terra mumbled, but didn't say anything.

"Hey Terra, good luck, and come back soon." Ash said with a wave.

:And bring lots of ketchup: Pikachu added.

"Don't forget, the other Jennys will help you if you ask!" Jenny said, giving the silver-haired girl a hug.

"Okay, I'll remember." Terra replied, smiling up at Jenny when she let her go.

"If you get more than six Pokemon and want to exchange, remember to just give me a call." Professor Oak said.

Terra nodded.

"Will do." She answered, then looked out towards the wilderness with a bright smile. She took in a deep breath and looked down at Rinoa, who stood next to her. "Ready to go?"

:Ready when you are: The cat replied.

Terra nodded, and turned back to everyone.

"Well, I'm off. I'll make sure to call when I get to Viridian!" She said.

Terra waved to them, and they waved back, shout good lucks as she headed out of the town and towards Viridian.
