Zephyr sat up in bed, brimming with energy. For months- no, years- she had waited for this moment, biding her time until she could finally begin. She was tired of her home, of her parents that were never around. She was tired of seeing all her friends leave on journeys of their own. Not that she was leaving particularly late, though- there were plenty of kids with parents so stern they forbade them from departing until they had finished high school. Zephyr had always achieved academically, and after she took extra courses, her parents had no choice but to let her go. Sure, she didn't have a college degree. But by working her fingers off typing essay after essay, she was able to finally surpass her parents' expectations and get a partial high-school degree. Plus, wouldn't she learn much more journeying across the world? The rocks that lined firelight town were stained a glowing red by the sun inching over their crest. Trembling, Zephyr swung her legs out of bed and closed herself into her closet to get dressed. After she was done (Clad in a bright yellow tee-shirt she got from summer camp and a pair of jeans), she reluctantly ambled into the bathroom to brush her teeth. She did so, then took the little bag that held her toothbrush and paste (among other sanitary items) and headed downstairs. At the foot of the stairs was a duffel, already packed partway with clothes. She tossed the bag into its midst and walked into the kitchen. Her mother was there, preparing fried eggs. She was smiling, but her eyes brimmed with tears as she handed Zephyr her meal. Backing up, she managed to murmur, "P-promise to w-write, dear?" Zephyr finished her mouthful and told her, "I will, mom. I will." Cleaning her plate, she cleared it to the sink and grabbed her bag. She walked to the door and looked back. "Promise not to cry too much when I'm gone?" She asked her mother. The woman nodded, continuing to force a smile, and waved. "Goodbye, Zephyr." |

You leave your home and head through the town. On the other side would be Kiti Woods. On your way, you watch the familiar buzz of the town, with all the familiar faces and people. Then, you catch sight of an old man sitting outside a small store. A Ninetales is sitting at his side, and he is stroking its silky cream-colored fur. |

Zephyr smiled as she saw the old man and his Ninetales. He must be a very experienced trainer, she realized. Ninetales are clever and particularly vengeful if aggravated, but this creature is allowing him to stroke it. That's some bond. She smiled and waved good-naturedly to the man before pushing open the door of a convenience store. She glanced around the room. On special order, she was getting her Pokemon and official trainer certificate from a legal representative of team Thunderflame. Her father had ties to the group which he never fully illustrated to Zephyr, but they weren't important or relevant to her in any way. He had just used whatever authority he had to obtain a slightly discounted trainer registration for his daughter. The agent she was supposed to meet was to come here at approximately this time. ((I hope this isn't powerplaying. She doesn't get extra money, her parents do. And they don't exactly count.)) |

A tall man wearing a black jacket over a fire-colored shirt looked up as Zephyr entered the store. His hair was dark brown, and his eyes slightly lighter. He approached Zephyr, and his Quilava stepped forward with him. The Quilava stood on its hind legs, looking up at Zephyr. "Are you Zephyr Lightbreeze?" the man asked, looking down at his Quilava. |

Zephyr laughed internally at the way he didn't make eye contact and instead asked the question of his Quilava. She found she was smiling in spite of herself, and she forced a straight face. This was a serious occasion. "Yes sir. I'm here for my first Pokemon. I believe you know my father, Mr. Lightbreeze? He's taken care of my papers." She looked at the Quilava, then at the man. Thunderflame, eh? Her family was officially members of that alliance, but the only thing they ever did was that her father went to monthly meetings. He had also once taken them to a Thunderflame-hosted tournament that was quite interesting to watch. Besides that, the group was quite secretive. She had only talked to a handful of its members, excluding her family and friends. They were fleeting in their conversations and always seemed to be doing something else. |

The man nodded. "Ah, yes, he arranged everything for you." He looked like he was about to say something else, then stopped. "Anyway, I have your Pokemon in the back," he said. "Wait here, and I'll retrieve it for you." The man looked at his Quilava and turned away. He opened a door to another room labeled "STAFF ONLY". The man's Quilava rested its front paws on Zephyr's jeans, staring up at her. "Quilavaa!" it purred, smiling. It lifted one paw, then put it back. "Lava?" it said, almost as if it were asking Zephyr a question. Quilava's owner came back, holding a shiny, white and red Pokeball, and some papers. "Here you are, miss Lightbreeze," he said, handing the papers and Pokeball to her. "Those are your receipts of purchase and your trainer's license," he informed. "Be careful not to lose them. The Pokeball contains a Minun, level 5, with 20 hit points. You're free to give him a nickname." Quilava placed its front paws on the ground again, studing the light, barely visible scorch marks in the shape of pawprints that had been left on Zephyr's jeans. "Lava," it said in apology, before scampering onto the shoulder of its owner. ((Omg, I am so getting a Cyndaquil when I start my roleplay. Quilava is just too cute! <3)) |

Zephyr smiled at the retreating man and his Quilava. Those Pokemon were amazingly cute when they set their mind to it. She waved and uttered a cheerful "thanks" before turning her attention to the Pokeball in her hand. All Pokeballs, due to the fact that they contained a living creature inside, were slightly warm. This one was gently rocking back and forth, seeming to be enjoying itself. It seemed a shame to send it out. Zeohyr did, though, pressing the button on front to cause the ball to pop open. The red energy contained within leapt out and formed a figure on the floor. The Pokemon standing there now opened its eyes, blinking up at its trainer. It was a little thing, about a foot and a half tall at most. Large, flaglike ears stood erect above its head. It was covered in fine, skin-colored fur. Its tail was mostly flat and in the form of a minus shape. Minun. Zephyr's father had arranged well- it was one of her favourite Pokemon. She smiled and knelt down so she was more or lss at eye level with the creature, not too close but not too far. "Hey there. I'm Zephyr and I'll be your trainer from now on." She smiled kindly and watched the little creature. Possibly it had come for a breedery and was therefore mostly docile, but there was also the chance it had been caught wild and wouldn't take training well. She watched it closely for any reaction. |

The little Minun glanced around, somewhat fearfully. "Minun...?" it called, turning around. It saw Zephyr, and backed away slowly, then recognized the kindness in her eyes. Cautiously, Minun approached Zephyr. The Pokemon almost smiled at her, but then it seemed to remember something, and jumped. "Nun! Minun!" it said urgently. It ran past Zephyr, turning back at the door to see her still kneeling there. Minun ran over and tugged on Zephyr's shirt, then stumbled back to the door. "Minun," it repeated. |

She remembered that Minuns had vivid personalities, but this particular one seemed to need her for something. She got to her feet and walked over to the door it indicated with a flailing paw. She pushed it open, unsure about what the creature was trying to say. "We... should we go?" Zephyr wished for possibly the hundredth time that she could understand what Pokemon said. "Is there something outside?" She looked curiously out at the square beyond the slightly ajar door. |

Minun looked up at its trainer with wide eyes. "Mi-nuun!" it called. It pushed the door open the rest of the way and hopped out onto the road. There, it planted its feet firmly onto the ground. "Miiinuuun!" it shrieked. It fell silent, listening for a reply. Hearing nothing, it called out again, as if it was looking for someone. It stood there, completely still, hoping to hear an answer. As only the normal sounds of the town reached it, it fell back onto the ground, its ears drooping. "Mi..." it said sadly. |

Zephyr cast her gaze around. "What is it? Are you looking for someone?" Did it have a previous trainer? she wondered silently. Stooping down, she laid a comforting hand on top of its head. The poor creature looked so crestfallen and unhappy. Zephyr's heart twitched- had it been taken away from someone it loved just so it could come to her? "Look, it's okay. Whoever you're looking for..." She paused, searching for the right words to say. "They probably miss you too. But now I think it's time to turn over a new leaf. I'm your new trainer now, 'kay?" Her hand never left his head. |

Minun sat on the ground, absentmindedly playing with his tail. He felt Zephyr's hand on his head, and he turned his head to look at her. His wide eyes stared into hers, listening to her words. "Minun-mi..." he said quietly. Then, Minun slowly stood up, Zephyr's hand still on his head. A small smile appeared on his face. "Mi, nun, nun," he squeaked. Then he dashed off to a tree, scurrying up the bark. He perched on a branch in full view of Zephyr and watched her. "Mi-i-i!" he giggled. He placed his front paws on the bark, clearly waiting for her to try and get to him. |

Zephyr laughed at her Minun's spontaneous antics and scrambled after him. For having such short legs, the little rodent moved fast! Not to mention he had mood swings, going straight from being disheartened to playing around and running up and down trees. She clambered after him, but had difficulty doing so. The tree branch was about five feet off of the ground, and tree-climbing wasn't her thing. After scrabbling at the rough bark and twisting her body into ways she thought wasn't humanly possible, she ended up on top. She was in an awkward position with one leg looped around the branch and the other one hanging free. Her arms hugged the branch for dear life, and she was more or less at eye level with the Minun. She chuckled. "Have you got a name? 'Cause the way you defy all logical explanations inclines me to name you Paradox." His playful spirit was contagious and she found herself grinning despite the predicament. |

Minun smiled at her, his troubles forgotten for now. "Minun!" he screeched with delight. He nodded his approval of the name, and glanced around the tree. A pear grew not too far from where they were sitting, and Paradox carefully crawled out onto a thin branch to reach it. Within a moment, he was sitting on top of the pear, trying to figure out how to bring it back. |

Zephyr reached out for the pear with the arm that was supporting her. Oops. She immediately felt her weight shift as she let go of the branch. Flailing her arm desperately to try and grab the limb again, she slipped despite that and swung down. She managed to fasten her grip quickly enough so she didn't come crashing to the ground, though. She ended up in a peculiar position: hanging from the tree upside-down with both her arms and legs. Her position looked like nothing more than a Slakoth, except she wasn't being lazy. Reluctantly she released her legs and dropped to the ground, shaking her head to regain her bearings before looking up in the tree again at Paradox. "You'll have to figure it out for yourself." She said with a sideways grin. "That tree's got it in for me." Instead of climbing up again, she merely leaned against the trunk and observed her athletic Minun. |
