Aster yawned as he quickly packed his bags, his Floette, Ms. Sunnyday, floating behind him while patting down and combing Asters long, let down hair. “Thanks again as always Sunny!” He said as he finished putting the last of his belongings into his bag. “Toothbrush, toothpaste, portable lamp … yeah this should be everything!” He said as he grabbed his now combed hair and quickly put it up into a bun. “I’m all ready!” He said before taking out his pokeball and returning his Pokémon to its ball. 

Looking up at the clock on the wall he immediately realized he was running behind schedule and rushed out of the guest room of the Pokémon center. Aster rushed to the counter to check in for the Project, and was eventually registered by the woman, who he quickly learned was named Asahi, and given his quest. “Your first trial mission is to retrieve a feather of Moltres. Once you’ve acquired it, call for one of our Corviknights with your Rotom-phone and after I verify the feather, your first token will be sent to you."

“That’s great to hear, thanks!” Aster explained as he logged the quest into his notes on his phone. “Have a good day mam!” 

As he walked away from the counter, Aster took out Echo’s pokeball, the large bat looking at its trainer through the device. “We’ve only been in this region for a day and already we’re being sent out to search for proof of a legendary Pokémon!” The Noivern in the pokeball nodded, although not as excited as his trainer, he was indeed interested in the mission. 

Finally taking a second to breath, Aster realized something. He had know he wasn’t the only one who signed up for Project Mew, he had even met and talked to one his age on the plane ride yesterday, but he hadn’t really gotten a good look at the others. Some looked strong, some looked like they had more experience in their eyes then he had in all his body, but what got Asters attention the most was … “OH MY GOD A RIOLU!!” Aster shouted as he slid across the floor to be face to face with the small Pokémon. “Amazing! I heard that riolus were incredible rare, I never thought I’d see one!” 

Then , almost as quickly as he appeared, Aster immediately scooted back and stood up at the realization that he was kneeling in front of not one but two people ([@Atomdusk][@Smarty Jones]) who are probably looking at him like he’s crazy. “A-ah, sorry about that, got a bit too excited there. The names Aster.”
