When she came back down, she smiled softly at Val who brushed her bushy hair into place. She wasnβt sure where she would be without her. Val was like her sister, best friend, soul mate and so much more. Before Aria could thank her, Valencia excused her self with a, βAll right. Iβll give you a moment, and then we can head to the professorβs.β Aria knew that the taller woman saw the appreciation in her eyes.
As soon as she was gone, Aria sprung herself at her mother, cuddling her closely. Mia smiled softly at her daughter, eyes tearful as she kissed the top of her head and smelt her hair that held the sent of trees and lavender. βIβm going to miss you baby.β She whispered softly. βYou make sure you call me, and Valencia tooβ¦ Iβm going to miss my daughters.β Aria smiled tearfully. Wherever Aria was going, Valencia was sure to be there too, and Mia knew this. βIβm going to miss you too Mamaβ¦ But I will come back and make you and papa proud.β Mia wiped the tears from her eyes. βAlright, you better go say goodbye to your father.β Aria nodded and after a brief goodbye to her father, who had been half asleep due to late night house work, she was on her front steps.
She looked at Valencia with bright eyes and a smile. βWellβ¦ Letβs go get our Pokemon!β It was a nerve-wracking event, and her whole body shivered and tingled at the thought of it.
New Bark Town was one of the smallest, if not the smallest town in Johto. Since recent expansion, up to six families could live in the peaceful little valley between all the trees. The town itself wasnβt big enough to have a school, so they were either homeschooled or took lessons online or from TV. Even some of the adults helped teach the younger kids all they could. In one corner of the town was the Pokemon Lab where, one day, Valencia would hopefully be working. It was the girls dream to become a professor and Aria had every hope set out for the girl. New Bark Town, in the end, was all Aria ever needed and no big city could have been better to grow up inβ¦ But now that she was older it was time for her to explore the world and find out what she truly wanted.
In a few steps they would be going into the Pokemon Laboratory to get their first Pokemon and take one solid step towards their futures.
New Bark Town; A town where the wind blows and tells of impending change.
