Drew wakes up to find the sun, gloriously shining above him. He uses his arm to shield his eyes from the harsh light. Rose was in front of him jumping up into the air, trying to catch what seemed like just air. Drew chuckled to himself, watching the feline Pokemon jump aimlessly into the air. Then Rose lunged into the air and pounced on Drew playfully.
'At least I still have Rose.'
Drew got up and started to scour around. It must be around 10 am, Drew guessed. There were people walking around casually with their pokemon. Getting on with their usual business. Underneath a large tree was a boy, no older than 10, training his Taillow. Drew smiled as the boy commanded for his Taillow to use quick attack, and the Pokemon obeyed with skill.
'Let's get going Rose, okay?"
Rose nodded, in agreement. Drew scooped her up in his arms, and started to walk to the entrance of Fortree City. He walked past places he remembered from a kid. The Pokemon Center, the Pokemon Gym, etc. This place was his home. Where he grew up. But he knew he had to leave. He wanted to be the worlds best coordinator, he had to leave and go on his own.
"It's time to go."
Rose nodded her head . Drew started to walk out of the city. Despite the fact he was leaving on a bad note, he was smiling. As he was setting off on his journey, the one he had dreamed about for so long. This is where he journey began.
