First chapter is written in first person, rest in third~ Will upload first two chapters in succession as they're quite short.
Sinnoh. A cold and beautiful land. Not often people's first choice of region to vacation in but I enjoyed my stays as a child. So much so that when I was sixteen I moved there to live with my aunt and what was probably her thirteenth boyfriend.
It didn't take me long to adjust to the climate change from my life in the more tropical Hoenn, in fact I preferred the weather. Curling up with a blanket and cup of hot coco suited me just fine. Out of everything, the hardest part was the nightly calls with my parents and the endless stream of tears coming from my father as he tried to blubber out his words.
Things were great though. I continued my studies and got a stable job delivering parcels around town. I even got the nickname 'Hermes'. But I soon got bored. I always liked running around town, finding new shortcuts to deliveries and seeing who had moved into homes that had been for sale months on end. However, it quickly lost the magic.
I had found every shortcut, seen more than enough moving trucks and got bored of the copy paste 'Hello, lovely day. Thanks for the parcel.'
It wasn't until I turned twenty one that I decided to expand my horizons. The thought of becoming a Pokémon trainer never peaked my interest. Sure gym battles and exploring sounded exciting, but I was happy where I was at that point.
Now, however, is another story. It took me awhile to work up the courage and announce to my once again heartbroken aunt that I would also be leaving her. As she cried, the resemblance between her and my father was clear as day, but much like him, she soon came to terms as I finished packing my bag.
"Make sure you call when you reach Sandgem town." My aunt spoke, once again hugging me goodbye as I softly patted her on the back, conserving precious oxygen as my supply was being cut off. "I will. You take care of yourself while I'm gone."
With one final farewell squeeze, she finally let me go. Giving a short wave out the door, I turned on my heel and made my way down the road, leaving Twinleaf Town for the first time since moving there. With just as much excitement as I had back then.
