Starting Down the Road[open]

[MICHAEL]

Time to get Started

Well it was time Michael told his mother he would wait until he was at least 17 and he did just that. his mother finally allowed him to leave on his quest to become a great trainer like he dreamed of. Michael with Fire lord in its pokeball was almost ready to take off but something seemed a miss today in pallet town he couldn't put his finger on it but something was defiantly off Maybe it was cause he was leaving home for the first time in 14 years why it felt off it would explain the nervousness in his stomach.

Michael was a rookie trainer after all. He had his backpack on his back that held 5 pokeballs and 5 potions in it that would be needed for him to take on this quest. He also wore a green cap along with a pair of red and blue sneakers and a locket so he always knew that his mother was watching over him. Michael headed out of his house as he wave bye to his mother who was crying out of joy Michael smiled as he headed out of the house. Michael looked around to see pidgy's flying and smiled before taking out his one poke ball.


"Fire lord come on out!" Michael cried as he threw the poke ball up in the air as a charmander came out of the pokeball and shook its head as Michael bent down to his level before speaking to him. "Ready for today Fire lord?" Michael asked as the charmander jumped up in the air before landing and spoke. "CHAR!" It cried as it let out a small growl as Michael chuckled at its attempt to make an ember come out of his mouth Michael patted fire lord on the head as it made a char sound as he smiled at him before speaking.

"we got a long ways to go fire lord but we will make it though this" Michael said as fire lord nodded in agreement as he returned fire lord to its pokeball. it was time they set off but Michael sat down to take one final look at pallet town. as he knew he would not be coming back here for a while there where 3 other regions after this so he wouldnt be comming home for a while he knew that his mom would miss him but he had to do this. its what he felt was right.

Michael looked up to the sky before closing his eyes taking in the breeze. "Dad wish you could see this..." Michael muttered to himself he hated his dad for leaving him and his mother but that didn't mean he hated him all together he was still his father and he was still his son and he would make his father proud one way or another he didn't know how or when but he would make him proud. Opening his eyes Michael picked himself up and picked up his backpack getting ready to leave pallet town he knew he would not see the home again for a while.

[HAZARD]

Holy crap Hazard didn't know there were a lot more regions besides Orre. Holy crap, were these regions different from Orre! Seriously, no kidding man! The blonde was used to the desert badass wasteland of Orre rather the more clean & nature like areas of Kanto. It was nice, the people weren't usual assholes, but it was just a little too quiet. Why was she were if there was pretty nothing to do? Seriously, no crooks to chase after, not even a damn party to calm down or anything unless she was invited of course. Currently she was in a very small town that went by the name Pallet. Nothing too special, quiet of course but, hey, the breeze was nice. The folks were friendly too, couldn't argue with that. The peacefulness reminded Hazard of Phenac City, with all the water flowing through ceilings & walls. The colosseum too had plenty of water flowing all around. Although there wasn't much water in Pallet Town, it still had that similar quiet and peaceful feeling that honestly wasn't so bad to have once in awhile.

She leaned against the white white fencing near a small patch of flowers. Hazard took a deep breath of the air. "...hmmmmm..... ahhhh! Smell that, Sweetheart? We won't be able to have a dose of this until a long I bet." The Sneasle snickered a bit behind her trainer. She flashed the blonde girl a toothy grin. She seemed to be hinting she was fine without. A typical answer from a abandoned pokemon, tossed away by another dirty crook. Hazard could remember when she first saw the pokemon, all cooped up in a cell, dirty & scratched up pretty damn bad.

And now, she headed towards the exit of the town. Too much of this pure wind was no good for a soul like hers, she wouldn't take it. Nor was it good for Sweetheart, she'll just burst out & cause all sorts of havoc. That was until she spotted Sweetheart's eyes wander off towards another figure. Hazard looked at the boy for a bit before thinking of some possibilities. Someone with a backpack, a pokemon leaving a tiny town? Sounds like a runaway or an excuse to do soemthing. "Hey kiddo! Where do you think you're going?"

[/b] She called out, Sweetheart just rolling her eyes with a dark smile as she followed along.

[MICHAEL]

Crap...

Michael stopped as he heard a voice call out to him. oh great another distraction he stopped just cause he was a gentlemen like that it might be a strength or flaw in him.as Michael turned around he spotted...oh crap. Michael saw it was a 17 year old women just great it wasn't that Michael didnt find girls attractive its just when talking with them he was extremely shy and that was putting it mildly. Michael gulped a litte ok take a few deep breaths Michael and ok there we go. Michael closed his eyes and opened them again before opening his mouth to respond.

"Huh oh sorry ma'am im heading out to start my Pokemon quest im currently heading to VIRIDIAN CITY there is suppose to be a Pokemon gym there" Michael said with a smile. at least he was slowly getting over his nervousness. it took him a little bit so that was good. thank god though it was one flaw he was not to fond of but whatever it was just something he would have to get over on his own none the less he crossed his arms as he he began to speak again. he was still confused why she had stopped him.

"so is there something you need?" Michael asked with a smile as he waited for a reply. for once he was getting though a conversation pretty well but best thing to do was to wait and see what she wanted and keep his cool. loseing it now would not be the best thing thats for sure. none the less he hoped things went well as this was the first person he was meeting on his quest though he knew it wouldnt be the last he often wondered how many pepole he would meet on this quest.

[HAZARD]

Hazard nodded slowly as she listened to the boy's explanation. Oh, so he must be one of those starting trainers. She actually thought he was running away or something. Her eyebrows rose when he mentioned the Viridian gym. Sure it was the closest gym around form here, but wasn't for more experienced trainers? Well the kid didn't exactly have to spill everything out either. He was lucky she was a cop and not some bad guy. When with a stranger you never tell everything you know, or say everything you're going to do. It just feeds the foe more information about you. The they know what you're going to do, when, and where. Hazard played with her hair for a bit, one her very long locks that cascaded down her shoulder. Oddly majority of her hair was short, while the few locks nearly went to her waist. She liked the style.

"Heh? You do know how strong the Viridian gym leader is, right? I mean he used to be the champion for Latios's sake!" She leaned back against a nearby tree. Sweetheart just yawned a bit, clearly she's gotten easily bored. Her ear twitched a bit as another breeze came through. "I don't need anything, but do you? Heh, it's my job to make sure people stay safe, actually. You sure you got the right pokemon or something? You don't want to have a bitter and embarrassing defeat." Sweetheart nearby snickered darkly. She tried to cover her wicked, toothy grin with her claws but she couldn't. "Oh, just ignore Sweetheart, she wont' do no harm. Well... if don't you piss her off or catch her interest that is."

Honestly, Hazard shouldn't try to scare the kid away, but there will always be people that are dangerous, or have dangerous pokemon. Sweetheart was a more aggressive and intense battler than Rookie and Tiny. That was because she had a rough background and pretty much raised to be a fighter. She liked her spirit, although she did need to cleanse it. In fact one of the elder at Agate Village made Hazard take Sweetheart to the Relic Forest so her 'heart' could be exposed to more light.
