Rigel opened his eyes and looked around his burrow. The air still smelled of fresh earth, and he could see sunlight pouring into his home's entrance. Letting out a yawn, he stood up, walked out of the burrow, and got a drink of water from the small pond out front. It had been about a week since he left his parent's burrow and made his own, and he had begun feeling very bored. "Man, I thought being on my own would be a lot more exciting than this." He thought to himself. "But so far it's just like before, only more lonely. Maybe I should go visit Tarazed and Aludra." He then walked over to his berry bushes and ate a few berries before entering the forest towards Aludra's training ground. The forest was the same as it had always been, the emerald green leaves blocking the sky with light coming through here and there, the sounds of small pokemon being heard all around, the whispering of the wind through the branches, all these things Rigel used to comfort Rigel were now making him restless. "What should I do?" he thought. "I don't want to leave my friends, but if I stay here I think I'll go crazy." Soon he reached the spot where Aludra trained and saw her standing in the middle of a stone circle, focusing aura into spheres before throwing it at the stones. "Hey Aludra!" he called out. "How's training going?"

Aludra looked toward her friend with a look of annoyance on her face. "Hey Rigel, it would be going great if you hadn't interrupted me."

"Sorry about that." Rigel said. "I just needed to talk to you and Tarazed about something. Do you want to come with me to Tarazed's place?"

"Fine, you've already screwed up my focus anyway." said Aludra. "What do you want to talk about?"

"I'll tell you while we're walking." Rigel said as he went back into the woods. "It's important."

The two walked side by side as Rigel told Aludra about what he was feeling. "I've got to get out of here." he said. "I don't know why, but I feel like I've been here too long and I need to get away. It's like a weird voice in my head telling me to go."

"Really?" Aludra asked. "To be honest, I was wondering if leaving was good idea myself. I want to see the world, but I wanted to find out what you guys were doing first."

"Maybe if Tarazed is up for it we could all go." Rigel said. "A change of scenery would be great for us, and if we go together then we won't be missing each other. I guess we'll have to find out what he thinks."

Soon they came upon Tarazed's tree, and Rigel called up like he always did, then felt a tap on his shoulder. "You're not going to get me with that Meissa." he said without turning around. "Go scare someone else."

"Aw, you're no fun." he heard his sister say. He then turned to see her shadow backing away from him and sinking back into the ground. "What are you guys doing?"

"Waiting for Tarazed to get out here." Rigel said "Tarazed! Come on!"

The leaves in Tarazed's tree began to rustle as he made his way out onto a branch. "Do you guys always have to be so loud? Can't you just knock on the tree or something?"

"No." Aludra said. "No we can't. Anyway, we need to talk to you about something."

"What is it?"

"Well, we've been thinking," Rigel said. "Everything is getting so old around here, so Aludra and I wanted to maybe go somewhere else, see the sights and all that. We were wondering if you wanted to come with us."

"Where will you go?" Meissa interrupted. Rigel had completely forgotten she was there. "What will you tell mom and dad? Can Gauss and I come too?"

"Uh, sure I guess." said Rigel. "But we don't really know where we'll go, I just thought we would choose a direction and keep walking. Where is Gauss anyway?"

"He's back at home sleeping." Meissa said. "I figured I'd let him rest today."

"Can I answer the question please?" Tarazed said. "If you guys are going, then I want to go too. It's better than relying on Altair and Alshain for company."

"Ok, great." Rigel said. "Let's talk with our parent's about it and meet back here tomorrow, then we'll go from there."

"There's still plenty of daylight left." Aludra said. "Is it really necessary that we do this so early?"

"I don't know how well you know our mom and dad Aludra," Meissa said. "But trust me when I say that they will want to talk about this for a long time, so we had best get talking now so that maybe we could get back to our burrows by nightfall."

"Fine." Aludra said. "I guess I'll talk to dad and do some more training. Se you guys tomorrow."

"Bye." Rigel said as he walked toward his parent's burrow. "You coming Meissa?"

"Yeah, wait up." said Meissa. "Can't wait to hear what mom and dad think."

The two walked into their parent's home and spent hours discussing the matter, finally emerging from the burrow into the half-light of dusk, planning to go, with their parent's blessing, out to find what they were looking for in life.
