The Adventures of Tom Ato
Departure from Lavaridge Town
“Today’s the day!” Tom exclaimed as he threw open his bedroom window “The day that the four of us will finally start off on our journey.”
“Ri-ieh” yawned Dratini as he slowly uncoiled himself on Tom’s bed.
“There is just so much out there for us to see and do. I want to experience it all. I just hope I can become as great a trainer as my dad was.”
“Are you all packed?”
Tom turned away from the window to see his mother standing in the doorway behind him.
“You’re joking right? All of my things have been packed and setting there for weeks now” Tom said, pointing to a wicker chair in the corner of his room.
“Just making sure. You know… you’ve been acting more excited than your brother did before he started his journey.”
“Yea, lucky for him he was grandfathered when they raised the minimum age limit from ten to sixteen” grumbled Tom as he flung himself, onto the bed, right next to Dratini.
“We’ve already talked about this Tom, and you know as well as I do, that ten is not old enough to be trekking through the wilderness alone.”
“But I wouldn’t be alone. I would have my Pokémon, plus Sarah would be there with me…” Tom added as he picked up his dragon pokemon and started to pet him, lovingly.
“I don’t want to hear another word about it, Tom Ato" his mother interrupted sternly. "You can’t change what has already happened anyway.” she said, lowering her voice a little this time. “Now, why don’t you and Dratini both come downstairs and get yourselves some breakfast” his mother finally added before turning around to walk down the staircase behind her.
“Come on Dratini” sighed Tom, grabbing his pack as he followed his mother downstairs.
In the kitchen, Tom quickly situated himself at the table, and Dratini waited anxiously by Tom’s mother for his breakfast.
“So, where are you and Sarah planning on going first?” Tom’s mother asked as she placed a bowl of Pokémon food next to Dratini.
“Fer-ber-er Ton” her son answered, cramming toast into his mouth.
“Don’t talk with your mouth full” his mother snapped as she pulled up a chair next to her son.
Tom hastily struggled to swallow before attempting to answer his mother’s question again.
“Fallarbor Town” laughed Tom, still trying to swallow the mess of food in his mouth.
Just as Tom and his Pokémon were finishing their breakfast, there was a knock at the door.
“That’s probably Sarah now” said Tom’s mother.
Wiping the crumbs from his face, Tom rushed into the other room the answer the door as his dragon Pokémon followed him.
“Hey Sarah” Tom said as he bent over to pick up his Dratini. “Wait… where’s your Oddish?”
“She’s right here” replied the young trainer as she revealed the hiding place of her grass Pokémon. “She keeps trailing behind my dress.”
Your Oddish is probably just a little scared about leaving today.”
“Probably” agreed Sarah. “So, are you ready to go?” she asked, playing with her dark brown hair.
“Just a second” Tom turned and yelled into the house. “Bye mom!”
“Wait!” his mother screamed back to him “Let me get my camera!”
“Bye mom!” Tom repeated, before taking off, up the road, closing the door behind him.
