Chapter 39: The Home I Never Had.

"Hey babe?' I asked.
"Yeah?"
"Can we stop by Littleroot? I need to check on something."
We were on the route home, just passing Mauville City, when I remembered that day when Red and I walked up to the home I grew up in. It had been five days since I arrived at the HQ. After mom gave me the cold-shoulder, I felt like we would'nt be able to recover our old bond. Dad looked ready to cry when he saw what had happened. I knew dad and I would be close, but I felt like I had lost my mother. I knew she was just trying to protect her region. It was her duty, and sworn oath to protect the Hoenn region and all those who lived in it.
We went south, through the empty bike lane, and then took the small river to the edge of Route 103. We walked to my old home in Littleroot town. I sighed and we walked inside. I went upstairs to my room. I picked up the Torchic plush doll dad gave me for my sixth birthday. I remember that Torchic would sit next to it really still, and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Mom thought it was the funniest thing in the world when I would race over to pick up Torchic and grab the doll, and have my friend jump around in jealousy.
I smiled at the memory.
"Is that really... your parents?"
I looked at the picture on the wall. There was mom and dad on their wedding day. They were married about a year after Team Aqua's Archie created the fake Kyogre and lost his life in the process.
"Yeah."
"You look a lot like him. Your dad."
"People say I look like mom."
"I'd say that it depends on the perspective."
"I guess so."
"What's wrong?"
"I feel like there was someone who should have been at the Pokemon League HQ, but wasn't."
Suddenly, I thought of something.
I ran downstairs to the fridge. Grandpa Birch always left a note on the fridge if he was planning to go somewhere.
There it was. I grabbed it and read;
"GOING TO THE LAB. I KNOW ABOUT THE EVACUATION. I WILL BE AT THE HQ BY TOMORROW.
LOVE, BIRCH"
"This was put here almost a week ago. I recognize it because grandpa changed pokemon print paper daily, and I have figured out his schedule. This was set for saturday. It's the sunday after. We have five days before we have to be at the Battle Tower. Want to help me find my grandfather?"
