Amorah sighed lightly as she stirred her chilled coffee. The event at her home happened no more than two days ago and here she sits; waiting, no worrying over Mightyena who is still in recovery. That thunder attack he received protecting her was thoroughly charged, in the words of Nurse Joy. A very powerful electric attack that Manectric must have put his reserve energy into; almost signed death for the old dark dog.

With bandaged fingers the tired girl raked her bangs back then pulled the rest over her shoulder, lips pursed and knee bobbing in a hurried fashion. Growlithe lay under her seat, paws laced under his chin and eyes closed in sleep. Persian was stretched out under the café table with paws clenching and unclenching in his dreams. Then there was Umbreon who has been sitting at her side like carved black marble since releasing himself from his poke ball two days ago. Seeing the loyalty and love from these old Pokémon made her worry dissipate from her mind ever so slightly. The most she wanted to do was get Mightyena, pack up what little belongings she owned and set out on her quest.

Amorah took a sip from her cup slowly, pausing with the rim placed on her lower lip. What quest could she possibly go on? Escaping her father and tasting the cool euphoria of freedom was one thing but she didn't have any idea what to do afterwards. She supposed she never thought of it since she believed she would never make it this far. A tight groan escaped her throat and the white Styrofoam cup was placed back on the table. She didn't know what to do.

"Amorah Saincher?" The soft call of the pink haired nurse floated through the center like a bell, grasping the attention of the thought engrossed girl.

With a tug of Umbreons ears, Amorah stood from her seat and the duo walked over the nurse. Nurse Joy smiled warmly which unleashed a gate of relief to flood over Amorah.

"Mightyena is completely recovered from the electric charge. His burns have healed nicely and he is clear to be released. Please, sign those papers on the counter and Chansy shall retrieve him." Nurse Joy smiled brightly, bowed then walked around to the other trainers.

Amorah breathed happily in relief for her Pokémon but also worry hammered at her chest at the release forms her father should be signing for his Pokémon. She was ready to get her Pokémon and high tail it out. With a light clap to her thigh, Umbreon stood from his seated position and followed his mistress toward the large desk after calling out to his comrades. Persian lifted his head up lazily, Growlithe's ears perked at the call and soon the three Pokémon were all crowded around Amorah, watching as she scratched away at a starchy piece of paper.

The young girl's heart was racing as she practically lied her way through the document. Scratching the paper with her fine writing, her full name etched on the original trainer line then followed by a fake contact number on the other. It made her anxiety flow through the roof, her knees to shake and heart press against her rib cage as she finished writing the information. She signed her name once more on another dotted line then handed it to the giant pink egg shaped Pokémon.

"Chansy!" It squeaked as it grabbed the clipboard and to Amorahs relief; placed it under the desk before hopping away to fetch Mightyena. The young girl blew the held breath from her lips, placing the pen on the shining desk before reaching for her pokeballs. Persian and Growlithe sat before her with tired expressions while Umbreon continued to stare like a statue.

"Return." She called quietly and the fire dog and pristine feline returned to their homes for some much need rest. With two clipped to her belt she turned to the dark cat.

"Will you walk with me?" She believed she really didn't need to ask. Umbreon hadn't left her side since the moment they entered the PokeCenter and freeing himself from his ball to aid Amorah following the reinforcement of the legendary dog. To Umbreon, being in the presence of the north wind, gave him the will to be stronger for his mistress. The red eyed dark Pokémon gazed up to Amorah, nodding slightly and looked over his shoulder to see Mightyena slowly walking with the help of Chansy.

"Chansy!" It called happily as it gave Mightyena a re-encouraging push before bouncing away. Amorah sighed happily, dropped to her knees and wrapped her arms around the old dog; squeezing him slightly. Mightyena nuzzled into her cheek and howled low before looking over to Umbreon; who nodded with a small smile.

"You have no idea how happy I am to see you alright. I was worried sick." She pulled away and smoothed his ears back. "What you did was foolish." The dark dog's eyes fell sadly. "But the bravery and protection you showed for me, I don't think I could ever repay it to you." She smiled and hugged him once more then stood.

"You're still too weak to travel, I want you rest." She held the regular ball toward him and with a low command, the red beam shot out and Mightyena was in his ball. Amorah stared at it for a moment before clipping it back to her belt and picking up her knapsack.

"Let's get out of here, shall we?"

Umbreon called out and took his place at her heels. The duo walked out of the center and into the sunlight, both tasting freedom, one of them again and the other for the first time. Amorah stared at the long stretch of road that lead into the forest, the wind hollowing through the trees and blowing her hair.

"Next stop…" She sighed and heaved her knapsack onto her shoulder with a shake of her head. She patted her thigh and finally after so many years, she was able to choose her own fate under the watchful gaze of a pair of red eyes.

Hi guys! With so many of you hell bent on seeing this story through, I decided to really think on what I want to do for it. The story, I've decided, is going to be about Amorah on a journey to find out was exactly happened to her mother. I'm going to be throwing my own bad guys and good guys in here so I'm actually kind of excited. I'm sorry this is so short but this, right here, is the start of Amorah's adventure! Enjoy and tell me what you think!
