[color=ed145b]"Mm...Ninetails, it's too early..."[/color] she murmured, pushing the Pokemon away gently. Ninetails however didn't relent, and eventually just pulled Marie out of bed. She fell with a thud. [color=ed145b]"Ow! What was that about?"[/color] Marie said, rubbing her head. Ninetails barked, and pointed at the calendar with one of her tails, to which Marie rose and moved to look, wiping her eyes. [color=ed145b]"Huh...it's the 21st...wait...todays the day!"[/color] it finally clicked, and Marie jumped and cheered. [color=ed145b]"Today's the day I get to go and be a pokemon trainer!"[/color] The rest of the morning was a bit of a blur, as she went to shower, and packed her bags for the trip. She ensured that Seel and Ninetails were well fed, and only after a reminder from Ninetails did she remember to get food for herself. Once she was dressed, showered, fed and ready, she headed to the beach to see her parents. She ran the whole way, taking her sandals off so she could feel the sand. [color=ed145b]"Mom! Dad! I'm off to catch pokemon!"[/color] she shouted as she ran into the beach hut, smiling happily. Even when her father frowned. [color=0054a6]"Are you sure that's today? I'm sure that was next month..."[/color] he said thoughtfully. Marie pouted. [color=ed145b]"No dad, it's today. The 21st, remember? I've got the pokeballs that mom left, and I've packed properly. Me, Ninetails and Seal are ready to see the world!"[/color] Her father sighed. [color=0054a6]"Fine, fine. Your mother is away, but give her a phone call when you get to the first pokecenter ok?"[/color] He moved over to give his daughter a hug. [color=0054a6]"Please be careful dear. I love you, as does your mother, and...we'll worry."[/color] [color=ed145b]"Daaaad! You're so embarrassing!"[/color] She said, going bright red as she hugged him back [color=ed145b]"I love you too. Now, time for adventure!"[/color] She waved, and left the beach hut, heading for the bridge over to pallet town, and onto adventure! (OOC - free for PC or GM interaction! Feel free to tag me or PM me)
