Alex woke up, both excited and a little nervous. He was heading straight for Pallet Town to begin the first step of what could be the rest of his life. He looked outside, it was going to be a hot day. Getting his usual attire out of his wardrobe, he couldn't help but to rush ahead to get everything on, swiping his journal as he did. Both his parents were waiting downstairs, wanting to give a proper goodbye to their son before he left. If Alex went any faster down the stairs, he'd probably be tumbling down. His mother was ready to head to the pokemon centre just before saying goodbye, while his father had dressed in his Ranger's uniform. [color=ed1c24]"Good morning, son."[/color] His father greeted with a big smile. [color=00a99d]"Are you ready to go?"[/color] His mother asked. She had already prepared his backpack for him, including the field kit she had made for Alex. 

[color=a36209]"Yep! I'm ready!"[/color] He proclaimed excitedly. The mother and son embraced each other for one last time, at least for a very long time. [color=00a99d]"Be safe, Alex. And be the best person you can be."[/color] She said as parting advice with a tear in her eye. Alex hugged his mom a second time, as a way of reassurance. He slung the backpack onto his shoulder and turned  to his dad. [color=ed1c24]"Pallet Town is far, I'll take you there."[/color] His father offered. He kissed his wife then he and his son left the house. The family had befriended a Honchkrow that had nested on their roof. Alex's Dad utilised his Capture Styler to enlist the pokemon temporarily. Both mounting the bird pokemon, they flew off for Pallet Town

It didn't take long with the help of the Honchkrow, and soon enough they were outside the Oak institute. Alex got down and looked back at his father, who smiled proudly and waved him goodbye before taking off, back into the sky. The young man gazed upon the magnificent institution. There would be so much information about pokemon here! Alex walked towards the entrance, seeing the statue of the famous Ash Ketchum. He ran up and leapt past it as high as he could, brushing his hand against the statue's arm. It was proving really difficult to hold in his excitement and energy. Walking through the doors, Alex approached the receptionist who asked if he was here for the starter programme. With a smile, he displayed his ID card. [color=a36209]"Yep, that's me!"[/color] 

Alex was told to wait with the others who had just arrived before him. Walking into the room, he saw a slightly older guy clad in black and another future trainer with curly-ish hair and seemed to like orange as his personal color. Alex smiled at the two, grinning almost from the build-up. [color=a36209]"Hey!"[/color] He greeted merrily.
