Start of a journey and something new

Over the next 18 months, a lot of the same happened. More camping trips and learning how to survive out in the wild and how to train and maintain your Pokemon. On the last day of Trainer school, i met with Susan, Jason and Chloe and exchanged contact information and bid each other farewell. Whilst waiting for my mom to pick me up, i reflected back on my own personal training, i feel as Abra is close to evolving to a Kadabra and Natu has progress quite well. There were many occasions during our psychic training that we were nearly caught due to the level of psychic energy being abnormal. We were all warned about tales that occurred with a wild Hypno leading children into the wild to never be seen again. The training helped accelerate my training. I can now lift up to 7 items weighing 15kg each or 1 item of 105kg. This wasn't the only discovery, i found that if i concentrated on a light weight item and set a direction and then used my full strength the resulting acceleration is enough to make item have great penetrative power. One item i tested was a pencil and i was able to embed it into a brick wall all the way until only half was outside the wall. This will come in handy if i need to defend myself from wild Pokemon in an emergency.

After waiting for 15 minutes, a car arrived and my mom lowered the window and shouted for me. After loading up my things and hopping into the car, i noticed my father was not present.

Ahriman: "Is dad at home waiting or is he still at work?"

Mom: "Your father is still at work, he has sent a message saying he will be home tonight. Enough about that, how was your time at school? Did you meet a lot of friends? How are Abra and Natu?" Ahriman was overwhelm by the bombardment of questions and answered as best as he could.

Ahriman: "I made a few friends and gave them my number. We went camping a lot and learnt how to train and the welfare of our Pokemon." The talking carried on all the way home and both caught up on past 2 years events. Ahriman learnt that not a lot had happened in the town other than a few wild Pokemon caused a bit of trouble, scaring kids and attacking vendors for food. This was quickly handled by Professor Elm and his menagerie of Pokemon. After getting home and settling down, night rolled in and the door bell was rung. Ahriman hearing this sighed and started to run down the stairs with an excited grin on his face. As he got to the front door, he saw his mom opening the door to reveal his dad standing there with his suitcase and coat in hand. His parents embraced lovingly before separating and allowing Ahriman to hug his father he hasn't seen for over 2 years.

Ahriman: "Dad i missed you!"

Dad: "Now, now son. I'm here as promised. Lets go in and get comfortable and tell me about the passed 2 years. After retreating to the living room, Ahriman started recalling the past 2 years to his father who listened intently.

Dad: "Son, i have a present for you i brought back from work. Your mother and i have been talking and we have noticed odd things occurring around here. it took us a while but we figured it out and have got you something." Ahriman's heart was pounding, thinking he had hidden his training very well and only practiced when now one was around.

Dad: "This took me a while to find but i think it will be a great help for you and your journey." After opening his suitcase and pulling out two items. he presented them to Ahriman

Dad: "I was able to find two twisted spoons, one sold by a vendor over seas and another on a wild Pokemon. I want you to have them, they will help your Pokemon get stronger on your journey." Ahriman then hugs his father intently before calling Abra and Natu. He gave each a twisted spoon, Abra held it in his hand and gazed at the item with fascination, Natu did the same but held the item within its beak and chirped happily. He left Abra and Natu out to get use to holding the items and familiarise themselves with the increase in power the items give. Ahriman and his parents sat around talking about the past 2 years and catching up with each other further. after a while dinner was ready and they all ate around the table. Ahriman's father was recalling events surround his work and the silly things him and his colleagues got up to. From what Ahriman could make out, he was in some security company and he was posted to some tower, but no names were given. He was glad to have finished this assignment and move onto other areas due to the constant tourist and Pokemon that would show up scaring the guests. He started talking about some rumors that his team might be posted to guard some tech company in Hoenn. After we had all finished we all went to bed due to being tired from long trips.

The next morning, Ahriman was wide awake staring up at the ceiling from his bed. Today was the day he could drop this act and start training harder and more often. He did his normal routine, bathing cleaning his teeth and getting dressed. he had left his Pokemon out of their pokeballs with him being back at home. He gathered both up and made his way down stairs. Greeting him was both his parents and what looked like a rucksack and a camping set next to them.

Mom: "My boy has all grown up and off his adventure. It will be so lonely around he with you gone and your father on his business trips. Please make sure to contact us regularly." A tear could be seen forming in her eye as she rubbed it away.

Dad: "Well son, it seems your ready to start your adventure, remember your Pokemon are not mere tools. They are your partners on this adventure and should be treated as so. you respect and take care of them and they will respect and take care of you." He place his hand on Ahriman's shoulders before bringing him into a hug before whispering into his ear. "Please remember to call your mother, i fear with both of us gone she won't farewell being on her own." He then released Ahriman before further asking, "So, where are you first going and what do you plan on doing?"

Ahriman: "I want to travel around Johto and train up. i missed out on this years league but i plan on attending in 3 years time. In the mean time, it gives me chance to find new and exciting Pokemon and further mine bond with these two." he gentle pats Abra on the head whilst scratching Natu under his beak. After further pleasantries and goodbyes. Ahriman set off onto his adventure with his Pokemon to explore this new world for as much of its secrets he could uncover.
