Lila spun once is a circle, her hands itching to pet the stranger Cyndaquil, Ty, but she restrained herself. She felt like her obsession with Pokémon was a little odd and probably a bit annoying too. Most people used them for battles, but the last battle Lila and Alta were in was one she had with her mother to teach Alta and new skill. It wasn't an exciting battle by any means, though it was a fun one for the entire family to talk about. She unconsciously glanced back at the town. Unlike most girls her age, she hadn't wanted to leave home until she was older.
With a sigh, Lila rolled her shoulders and crouched in front of Alan's Munchlax. "Hey, buddy," she cooed, scratching behind his ear.
Alta jumped around excitedly as if to say, "Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!"
To calm her down, Lila placed a hand on her head. She looked at her friends, a small lopsided smile on her face. "I can't believe we're actually leaving..." she stood slowly, taking care to dust the grass off of her skirt. "Where to?"
With a pointed glance, she looked at Jodi, slowly trailing over the others. These were her friends, practically her family. They were the people she trusted her life with. She knew that despite their differences, they were stronger together and that was exactly how she liked it.
