Ch 8 Arriving in Palletown, Luke and Ash depart

The next day, Angel and her family, kept walking through the forest. Angel was looking everywhere. She saw all kinds of pokemon, from weak Caterpie to Beedril. From pidgy to Piggott, and many more.

Luke and Ash were bickering back and forth. While Skylar and Delia were talking about all kinds of things from recipes to gossip.

'I didn't think Delia and Mom were the gilossip type. Oh well, goes to show you can't judge a book by its cover.' Angel thought.

Eventually, the took a lunch break near a river. Magicarp were jumping up and diving back in the river. Poliwag, and it's evolved form were were drifting on there back in the water. Some grass pokemon were lazing near the river under the sun.

'Wow, this is amazing.' Angel thought smiling inwardly.

"Alright Boys, it's time we got going. We are nearly there. We should arrive in Palletown an hour before dinner." Delia spoke with a smile.

"Okay." Ash and Luke replied at the same time.

They made sure to clean up any trash that was laying around. Delia folded the picnic blanket but not before shaking it off. Skylar made sure Angel was secured in the stroller and gathered up anything that remained.

They took one last look around before nodding in satisfaction knowing that they cleaned everything up. With that, they continued onward to Palletown.

A few hours later, they saw that the path was slowly disappearing and that the end of the forest was near. They came to the end and walked up the hill.

"Angel, Welcome to Palletown! The Best town in the whole Kanto Region!" Luke exclaimed while he gestured dramatically.

Ash rolled his eyes and muttered "drama queen."

Luke looked over at Ash, looking slightly offended.

"I'm not a drama queen."Luke said with mock look of pain, before he smirked. " I'm a drama king."

Ash, Delia and Skylar looked at him as if he lost his mind before they chuckled and ended up laughing out loud.

Angel giggled. ' so my brother is a comedian.'

After they pulled themselves together they made there way down the hill.

'Palletown looks slightly similar to the one in the show, except the roads weren't mad of dirt, they are made of some type of stone. Interesting.' Angel concluded with a smile.

When they arrived at Angel's new home, Delia,Ash, joined Skylar, Luke, and Daniel for dinner before they parted ways.

" So Ash were you headed in for your next journey?" Asked Daniel.

Ash frowned as he thought for a moment before smiling " I'll head to the Paldea Region. I got excepted for the Orange academy. So I'll be taking a break from all of the traveling for now and study."

Luke smiled while Skylar, Delia and Daniel looked at Ash as if he grown three more heads.

"Ash dear why didn't you tell me you wanted to go to school?" Delia asked with a sad smile.

" Sorry Mom, I wanted it to be a surprise. Besides I only told Luke."

They all looked at Luke.

"What? It's not like Ash is going by himself. I also got accepted to Orange academy out in Paldea." Luke said with shock and guilt.

"...."

"...."

"...."

Skylar, Delia and Daniel looked at each other before they sighed.

"When will you two be leaving?" Asked Skylar.

Ash and Luke looked at each other and answered "Next month."

" That soon?!?"

"Yup. We would have left this month except we wanted to be here when Angel was born. " Luke replied.

"I see." Delia replied with a touch of pride.

And like that days went by until eventually a month passed. Everyone was gathered a the ferry dock.

" Well it's time for you to leave. Ash don't forget to eat all of your vegetables, don't forget to brush your teeth and change you underwater everyday. " Delia said with sadness and joy.

" That goes for you to Luke. Make sure you and Ash stay out of trouble and do all of your homework. Make sure you get enough sleep. And font push yourselves to hard. Pikachu Persian keep the boys out of trouble and look after them." Skylar spoke.

"PIKA PIKA CHU." Pikachu responded while putting it paw on its chest as if to say leave it to me.

"Persian purr" Persian responded while flicking its tale.

Just then the ferry's horn was blown, signaling that it was about to depart. Ash,Pikachu, Luke and Persian borded the ferry and started to wave.

"GOODBYE MOM" Cried out Ash.

"GOODBYE MOM, GODDBYE DAD , GOODBYE ANGEL." yelled Luke.

"GOODBYE boys take care." Skylar, Daniel and Delia Yelled while waving.

They waved until they couldn't see the ferry anymore.

Delia sighed sadly " well, there they go."

"Indeed. Who knowswhen will see them again. " Agreed Skylar.

" Now, now, there off on a new journey, besides we still have Angel for the next ten years." Daniel smiled.

Delia nodded in agreement.

"Your right, dear." Skylar held Angel a little tighter.

With that they made there way back to Palletown felling sad, happy and proud.

'Just you wait Mom and dad. Time will fly by faster then you know. And them I'll be on my own Journey.' Angel thought feeling sadness and joy at the thought of starting her own adventure.
