I leaned against the wall of the building. Aunt Lucy insisted we get here as early as possible, but also in style. From my home in Vermillion City, it was a good few days by boat (or rather, cruise) to get to Viridian City.
I pull out my short pigtails and shake out my newly dyed green hair. I quickly put them back in and wait for the bus that would take me and a large group of people to the Indigo League. A good small crowd has gathered of people ranging from just under my age up to some in their late twenties. Why would anyone at that age be here? I wonder to myself.
Finally, the bus pulls up. The line starts forming and just as I file into line, Aunt Lucy makes a run through to make sure I have everything: a spare change of clothes, a small ration of food, a pocket knife, water, money, iodine, waterbottle, ID, and the works. I affirm everything and give her a smile.
“Aunt Lucy, quit worrying!”
My aunt sniffed. “You’re going out to take on the world like your brother. Now, don’t you make the same mistakes as him!”
“Of course not.” My smile fades, just a tad.
“Be sure not to. Good luck! Write letters!” she called after me as I boarded the bus. I swear, if I turned, she would probably burst into tears as if I was her own daughter. I only lived with Aunt Lucy for a few years, though.
I take a seat near the middle, just as I normally did in the city when on my way to school. For a short while, I sit alone, but a straggler makes it to the bus and boards. As most of the seats are full, she approaches mine. “Mind if I sit here?”
“Go ahead,” I answered, with a smile.
She grinned in response and plopped down next to me, her shoulder-length, red hair bouncing up. “Hi, my name is Autumn. What Pokemon do you think you’re going to get?”
I wanted to laugh slightly at how fast she talked. Instead, I bit the inner side of my mouth to keep the giggling down. “I’m Kennedy. I’m hoping to get my hands on a Growlithe! How about you?”
