Leanna jumped out of her seat the moment the driver hit the brakes, with Haku clinging on to her hat as she tossed the driver a wave. "Thanks for the lift!" She hollered as she took a quick glance at her map. This place wasn't much  different from her home in Unova, wide open space and friendly homes stretched out between fields filled with crops. Buzzing with energy, she kept imagining what she would do first as she ran down the road towards her new ranch or farm whichever she decided it to be. 

“Ri?” She looked up to see Haku giving her a questioning glance.

“Everything will be fine you big worry wart. You saw the pictures from the website, the place is gonna be awesome!”

“Ri-Ri.”

“Why would you think those were photoshopped?”

“Ri.”

“I am not gullible! And this was not a scam and I’ll prove it just as soon as we top this hill!”  She turned with steely determination towards said obstacle and began a full on sprint up it.

"Just imagine Haku, we'll grow all kinds of berries and make Poke'blocks and Puffins and once we have enough money maybe we can even get a Milktank!Oh boy, I can't wait!" She giggled happily as she saw the last hill that separated her from her new home.

“Here it-!” 

A dump. What looked to be a field was completely covered in weeds and other overgrowth to the point you couldn’t see the grass below it. The buildings look so old that one good shove could send them all tumbling down. Leanna looked in shock at what was supposed to be her dream farm was actually an abandoned wreck that she was now stuck with.

Haku took in the sight with a deadpanned expression before he turned to look up at his Trainer. The face he had seemed to be shouting “told you so.”

“....is. Ooookay so its-uh-a bit of a fixer upper-” The Riolu gave her a dubious look. “But, its nothing a little hard work can’t fix. And I sank my life savings into this place so like it or not we’re stuck with it so might as well make the most of it.”

The Aura Pokemon continued to stare before releasing a tired sigh, hoping they really could make this place a home. It shot up however when it realized they were not alone. It scampered over to a large boulder to find a young man sleeping peacefully on the other side of it.

“Haku! Come on we got a lot to do before sunset!” Leanna shouted, then when she continued to be ignored sighed and went to see what had caught her usually obedient pokemon’s attention.  Lo and behold, she found a boy who looked to be about her age slouched down against the rock. He must have been exhausted or a really sound sleeper if her hollering hadn’t woken him up.

“Wonder what his doing way out here?” She turned to Haku, who only shurgged as they both turned back to the mysterious young man. “Guess there’s only one way to find out.” She stated, then began shaking the young man fairly roughly. 

“HEY WAKE UP!”
