Alison yawned waking up. Today was the day! The day that she will recieve her pokemon and she will become a pokemon trainer! She stood up from her bed and ran to the bathroom. She finished showering and put on her clothes for the day.

Alison ran downstairs, her mother was in the kitchen fixing breakfast. "Mom im leaving!" She told her mother as she walked to the door. "Okay sweetie! And tell your grandfather to call me later." Alison nodded. "Alright." Alison's grandfather was actually the professor of the town. PRofessor Xain. And she made her way to the pokemon lab.

Professor Xain waited for the trainers to arrive. Their Journey was about to begin.

Ace calmly stared out into the blossoming sun, his hand rested firmly on top of his hat, which sat comfortably in the grass. He was in his usual spot, a tall hill that overlooked the entirety of the city. It was a place for contemplation, meditation, and exercise. "Today's the day, then..." he muttered into the wind, feeling the whispering air flow through his long black hair, blowing it back with the breeze. The boy smiled a determined smile, slowly resting on his feet and firmly putting on his League hat.

He was an orphan, although not exactly a depressed one. His father was never home, and his mother died of cancer not even a few months after his 12th birthday. After that day, Ace created his own cabin in the forest, getting a job as a sort of 'courier/messenger boy' in the meantime. He was in love with travel, and adventuring, and becoming a Pokémon Master and Champion would help him achieve his travel and battle lust.

"I better be heading out..." he said, adjusting his bag and leaping from the cliff. As always, whenever he traveled into the city, he caught onto a tree limb and somersaulted over the oak branch, the pause in momentum allowing him to land softly on top of his former apartment, which was tucked away into the hill. Leaping onto the quiet streets below, the red-eyed teen jogged through the streets, heading for the lab. On his way there, he passed by a walking female, whom he gave a passing salute.

A minute later, he made it to the lab, where he leaned against the building, deciding to quietly wait for the girl he had passed before entering.

Thomas Right was an unusual boy. He didn't like pokemon when he was young, but when he was saved by a wild pokemon, he realized the good that pokemon can do, and decided to be a trainer. From then on, he tried his best to get into the professor's program.

He left the apartment he lived alone in, and went for the lab. There, he saw other people, to whom he said "Hey," and nothing more.

Suna shuffled hurriedly through her backpack, tossing out leftover photos of her family and other random objects. There was no time to think; her father would be waking up soon, and there was no way he would allow her to leave for the day she would finally begin her journey. Leaving a short note on the top of the pile of insignificant items, Suna grabbed the backpack and burst through the door. Now that she was out, she was free to do anything she pleased. This newfound freedom was something she was looking forward to all these years.
Suna arrived shortly after the third came. "Hey, there!" she said with a friendly smile towards the others. Though she was rather excited, she didn't want to act too hyped and make a bad first impression. After all, these were the people she'd be traveling with, most likely.

Alison hurried to the lab already seeing the other trainers. She tripped falling on the ground infront of them. But quickly got up brushing herself and smiling at the others. "Im fine. Im fine." She nodded sighing. "Well. Are you guys ready then? Grandp- Proffesor is waiting for us all." She didn't want to say grandfather. She didnt want them to think she was a baby! She was a pokemon trainer! "Alright. Off we go!" She yelled pointing at the
doors as it slid open and she walked in hoping the others were behind her.

"Hey there!"

"Yo."

Ace scratched his cheek in amusement as the girl fell in front of the small group. He was ready, of course, and followed calmly after once she began walking into the lab. He caught her slip up on 'grandpa', and easily made the connections. "The professor is her grandpa, hm?" he whispered to himself, resting his hands inside of his pockets and following behind the group. "Name's Ace, by the way." he spoke up.

The girl fell. He wanted to help, but she got up as fast as she did, saying she was fine. Well, she was fine. "She's pretty cute." Thomas thought. He gave her a brief smile when their eyes met, and went back to normal. He followed her lead into the lab.

"Name's Ace, by the way." Thomas heard someone say. He looked at the boy who said it, nodded, and said. "Thomas."
