When I got back home, my mom was waiting for me with dinner ready, and some pokepuffs for Torchic.
“So…” my mom asked while eating, “are you going off to complete the gym challenge?”
I was shocked by this question, I had never considered engaging in becoming a Pokemon trainer and fighting the eight gym leaders of the region.
“I’m unsure…” I said. I did not want to end up like my father, making the same mistake with Anisa as he did with my mom.
“Well, you could ask Anisa whether she wants to follow you?” mom said with a grimace, she might be sad that I would be leaving.
However, it was inevitable. Every person past 16 who had a Pokemon was expected to at least try taking on all the gyms, even though it would be hard, it was a culture in this region. My journey might be inevitable.
“I’ll think about it, ” I said.
After dinner, I retreated back into my room.
“Go… Torchic.”
*insert Pokeball noise*
“Torchic!”
Torchic landed on the bed and started rolling around, apparently enjoying himself.
