Ethan was fast asleep for almost the full plane ride when he was woken up by the intercom.
"We will be landing in Violet City in about 5 minutes. So please, put your seatbelts on and turn off all electronics when we go for our descent."
"Almost there" Ethan squealed. He couldn't wait to get there. See his old buddies, his family, old Pokémon, and much more. He walked out of the terminal to the baggage claim. He grabbed his luggage and placed his bag with his gifts on top. He went outside to see if his family was there, but no one was there. He called his mom to find out. To his surprise, Jimmy answered.
"Hey Ethan" Jimmy answered.
"JIMMY?!" Ethan replied.
"Ha you didn't expect me to come did ya?"
"Why did you even come?"
"You can thank Lyra."
"Hi, Ethan. It's been so long since I've seen ya." Lyra told him.
"Ya, I guess it's been a while," Ethan responded.
"We're gonna arrive in a minute hold up Ethan" his mother interjected.
"Ok, Mom. I'll see you guys when you get here" Ethan told everyone. Everyone said bye and soon enough they were there. His mother ran up to him and hugged him for an uncomfortable amount of time.
"Umm… Mom, I think that's enough" Ethan finally told her.
"Oh sorry dear" she responded. Jimmy started snickering.
"Heard that" Ethan grunted.
"Ha sorry, it came out" Jimmy apologized.
"Let's just go home. I can't wait to see the gang again" Ethan responded. Soon enough they were home and his brother gave him a present.
"I hope it isn't a gag like a dad tried to do to me this morning" muttered Ethan. He opened it to find out it was an envelope. He opened the envelope to find another. He kept going till it was a small card. It said:
"Look on top of the bed in the guest room."
"I hope this isn't an extended scavenger hunt Jimmy" Ethan growled.
"Don't worry it ends there" Jimmy responded. Ethan ran up to the guest bedroom and looked on top of his bed. Sure enough, it was another envelope.
"I promise there are no more tricks," Jimmy told him. Ethan opened it to find 4 tickets to a region called Alola.
"You're fucking serious?" Ethan asked him.
"Yep it's true" Jimmy responded. "Mom and Lyra were always nagging me that they wanted to go there sometime."
"How long are we staying?"
"For Mom and Lyra only a week."
"What about us?"
"I'm hoping you'd like to go on another journey with me."
"Again, are you freaking serious?"
"Say that again and I'll change my mind."
"Ha sorry." Ethan's sweat dropped.
"It's kind of a good job in the Sinnoh League and redemption from the Hoenn League."
"How the hell did you find out about the Hoenn League?"
"Don't get mad but Dad told me. You tried to beat all 8 gym leaders in under a month. You did it but couldn't get to the league in time. Good job though for both."
"I'm still pissed about that but this makes up for it. Thanks, Jimmy."
"No problem bro. Anyways we leave in a couple weeks so don't get too settled in."
"Haha, I won't." Afterwards, he went to Professor Elm's place to say hi.
(Author's Note)
Well, things will get better from here on out. Just gotta keep driving for more and get more inspired to do this.
Also, if you're coming from chapter 1, I recommend reading the backstory from the first 5 chapters. You don't have to read them, but it'll make more sense in my opinion if you read them.
Have a great day ~ Bad Luck Andrew
