[b]Elvenheisen, Estoria city, Trainer Hostel - 7:30 AM[/b]

Elf's eyes darted opened as he pulled himself up, It was still early morning but that was the natural for him, after all 4 years of the lifestyle resulted in habits. Elf looked at the window of the Hostel he was staying at, he had been sleeping on the floor next to the perfectly made bed, old habits never die he guessed. raising to his feet he walked towards the window. he braced himself at the windowsill as he peered out, he was looking for something, in the back courtyard of the hostel, and there he was. Elf opened the window.

[color=f26522]"Roc come on buddy wake up, today is a big day!"[/color] Elf said loudly out of the window to his Fletchling who had been resting on a stray branch of an Oak tree, one would be lucky to find areas of green in towns these day's but when you do, its always a good thing. Rocs eyes opened slowly, he flapped his wing's and quickly stood on his talons, before flying up to his trainer.

[color=f26522]"Alright buddy its the early morning, you know the routine"[/color] Elf said to his partner on his shoulder. They both looked like they where new to the whole concept of being trainer's, some stupid people even said that, Elvenheisen quickly put them in their place. They had both been through a traumatic event, that neither of them liked to speak about, but that trauma came with a upside. They connected with each other like brothers. 

Elf was only wearing his boxer shorts, but he quickly rectified that by pulling out his clothes from his hikers backpack. He pulled on his well worn t-shirt that was frying at the arms, he should invest in new clothes but he honestly didn't want to bother. neither the less a few more articles of clothing and he was almost set, he tucked his square of cloth into his trouser's and tied his shoe's, he felt ready and had used all today set of clothes but something was missing. where was it? he honestly couldn't figure it out. Roc chirped in offering a triangle of cloth, that had flames on the end. To the average person this would just be what it was at face value. A piece of cloth but to Elf and by extension Roc, it was a symbol of hardship and the wins and loss's that Elf endured, even more so now. 

Elf checked the time [b]8:00 AM[/b] still to early to even bother going to the professors place, [color=f26522]"Roc, we woke up early again"[/color] Elf said with a obvious sign of slight annoyance in his voice at the problem, it wasn't directed at anyone, it was just because Elf hated waiting. [color=fff200]"Fle fle Fletch."[/color] Roc interjected obviously coming up with a idea to pass the time. [color=f26522]"yea I guess we can do that Roc."[/color] Elf said agreeing with Roc who had fluttered down and was now sitting on his shoulder.

[b]Hostel courtyard, 8:10 AM[/b]
   
[color=92278f]"Are you sure you want me to do this?"[/color] The Hostel attendee said obviously questioning the training idea that both Roc and Elf had agreed to. Probably because it involved hurling tennis balls at the both of them, [color=f26522]"Yes we are"[/color] Elf said starting to get annoyed at the attendee. [color=92278f]"Well okay then, you brought it on yourself"[/color] The Attendee said as she began lobbing tennis balls fast at the both of them, as they both began moving to try and dodge them. Elf and Roc did this for what could be seen as a enjoyable two and a half hours, every time they where hit they would go at it again, their reaction times and speed slowly and steadily improving with each attempt. At the end of the training session both of them where thoroughly exhausted as if they had been through a marathon, and they kinda had, they were sweating but neither of them wanted to take a break.

[b]Estoria city Hostel - 10:40pm[/b]

[color=f26522]"Alright" *pant* "We gotta get to the professors lab now, thanks for the help" *pant* "Come on Roc"[/color] Elf said to his partner and the attendee, [color=92278f]"your welcome, thank you for your stay"[/color] The attendee said as she went back inside. Elf hoisted his pack onto his back, and made his way out of the front door of the hostel onto the streets with Roc riding on his shoulders. Elf took to the streets making his way to the lab. It was a mild annoyance that the hostel was locating on the outskirts of the city while the lab was closer to the center, but Elf could use the time to purchase some supply's for his travel's. Elf and Roc took a side turn into a food shop and quickly purchased some cans of beans, some Kendal mint cake and a few other rations, a few bottles of mineral water and some bird feed as well as general purpose Pokemon food. leaving the store half a hour later, after buying some croissants to eat. Elf and Roc continued on their way down the almost empty streets that slowly began filling with people the closer they got to the lab. it took about an hour and twenty minutes to get there.

Elf was soon nearing the lab when he noticed something that intrigued him, it was a limousine, who the bloody hell was visiting that could afford a limousine, especially considering that he just spent the last of his money he got from tournament winning's and someone was able to fluent their money like it was toilet paper, my god it pissed Elf off, he walked up to the front door of the lab. His hand reaching for the handle slowly.

He stopped, he looked at Roc who was on his shoulder, It was deja vu like, he had done this before, with Alver, Roc's dad while Alver was just a murkrow, four whole years ago, he stepped through that door, four whole years ago he started his journey, those years ago, he was a innocent kid. Then Team Nexus killed his entire team and now he might be subjecting Roc to the same scenario. Fun times for ages and then crippling reality, could he really do that to the little Fletchling he had come to see as family, Elvenheisen turned around, he didn't want to subject Roc to it, but then something made him stop, something had pecked him in the ear, it hurt alot, but Elf didn't care, he knew what it meant, it meant that Fletchling wanted to do this, and who was he to stop him. Elf slowly turned around to look at the laboratory door, it was a fresh start for the both of them. for the memories of the those that came before. [color=f26522]"Alright Roc, I'll do it for their sake and yours."[/color] Elf said grinning at his partner, before straightening his face again and heading inside.

[i]It was a new start after all...[/i]
