"But Marlon, you just got home and now you want to leave again? Am I really such a bad mother that you don't want to stay around?"

Marlon rolled his emerald-green eyes at his mother while he put away the invitation to the Galar region. "You should win an acting award for the amount of drama you perform. My Pokémon will keep you company while I am gone, I am only taking my most trusted partner with me." 

While his mother continued to pout, Marlon put some wax in his caramel-brown hair and searched for his black biker jacket. Kanto had never been the place for him to stay too long. He felt like it limited him. Before heading out for his transportation to Galar, he bid his farewells to his mom, who had realized she couldn't stop him. 

With his trusty Pokémon partner by his side, he rode his motorcycle to the pickup point. There, he sent a text to someone of the Galar region saying he was about to depart.
