Fary was getting ready to leave for Pallet Town just outside of Fuchsia City; she had a few last-minute things to square away before she could set out on her adventure. Her 18-year-old assistant Duska, however, was panicking, she had been with Fary since she had moved from Unova 4 years ago. [color=#004a93]"Now Duska, if anything happens, call me on my Xtransceiver. You've been studying under me for 4 years now, and you are MORE than ready for this. You shouldn't have too many requests coming in because everyone knows I'm away, but you've still become a great breeder. I have faith in you!" [/color] Fary put a comforting hand Duska's shoulder, smiling softly at the worried woman. [color=F93BE8]"I know... this is just the first time I'll be on my own in the shop. I've only bred a few pokemon on my own. Promise you'll check in when you get to the Pewter City?"[/color] Duska hugged Fary, clearly feeling a bit better about being left on her own. Fary smile and hugged her back. [color=#004a93]"I promise. Now, Emily and I have to get going, but I'll be back before you know it.[/color] Fary picked up her pack, and Emily, the Zorua jumped on her shoulder. [color=483D8B]"Zorzor, ruuuuu ruuu."[/color] Emily snuggled into Fary's shoulders, ready to go out in the world. Fary laughed softly, and opened the door of her shop, and turned back to wave to Duska. [color=#004a93]"I'm heading out Duska. I trust you to keep things in check. Remember, you'll be fine, and don't hesitate to call me if you need me."[/color] [color=F93BE8]"Take care Fary. I promise things will be great while you're gone. Look forward to hearing about you taking on the champion!'[/color] Duska waved Fary off as she called for their Pidgeot they used for the business, and took off at high speed for Pallet. [hr] [center][b][color=3BCBF9]45 Minutes Later[/color][/b][/center] Fary landed just outside of Pallet Town and gave her faithful Pidgeot a treat before sending it back to Duska. [color=#004a93]"Take care of Duska for me ok?."[/color] The Pidgeot nodded and cooed at her before taking off at lightning speed to return to Fuchsia City, and was soon out of sight. [color=483D8B]"Zorrr ZORUA!"[/color] Emily clearly didn't like flying and was shaking in Fary's arms during the flight. [color=#004a93]"Now now Emily, it's ok. We're on the ground and on our way to meet Professor Oak."[/color] Fery gave Emily an uneasy pat. She was still feeling a bit distant from her pokemon, after all, they had just met, and Fary was combating some trauma from her past. She wasn't going to let that keep her from her adventure though. Fary walked through the gates of Pallet Town, marveling at how cute and small it was. She was so used to living in cities that towns just felt so... quaint to her. She missed the hustle and bustle of Castelia, and even more so she missed her parents. They were just here for her birthday, but she already wished to see them again. Fary decided it was a good time to pull out her Xtransceiver, and called her parents. It rang for a moment until the face of her father appeared. [color=22553C]"Fary, how are you, sweety? Did you make it to Pallet Town safely? I see Emily is still doing well."[/color] [color=#004a93]"Yea, I'm good, just a little homesick that's all. Is mom there too?"[/color] Her mom appeared on the screen as well, waving. [color=46E754]"I'm right here dear! We miss you too dear, but we're so proud of you making a name for yourself in Kanto. By the time you come home, you'll be a better breeder than your father![/color] Her mother nudged her husband laughing slightly. [color=#004a93]"Awww, thanks mom, but we both know no one is better than dad! Anyway, I'm excited to get started on my journey and catch some new pokemon. After all, if I want to be a gym leader, I need to prove myself as a trainer first!"[/color] Fary smile, feeling herself relaxing a bit, Emily snuggling back into her shoulders. [color=22553C]"Well, we both know you can do it. Anyway, Fary I have an appointment I have to get to soon, but it's really good to hear from you."[/color] [color=46E754]"We love you Fary, and are so happy to see you doing so well. Keep us up to date on how your adventure is going! See you later dear!"[/color] Her parents imagine vanished as they ended the call. Fary put away her Xtransceiver, and started to follow the signs to Professor Oak's lab, unsure of how many others she would be traveling with. [color=483D8B]"Zor rrrrr zorua!"[/color] Emily woke up as they got closer to the lab. [color=#004a93]"Looking forward to making some friends Emily?"[/color] Fary smiled and started to walk up the hill leading to the lab.
