Alexandra groaned as she felt Budew jump on her back with a light thud. She had been staying with the brother in Dewford Town and was leaving to go to Littleroot Town today, to get a Hoenn starter. She already had Budew, she joined her on her journey in Sinnoh. She found him among the flowers in her hometown of Floaroma. Floaroma was known for its beautiful flowers and its sweet honey and she'd be lying if she said she didn't miss it every day. She also had Milotic, which was given to her by her grandmother, who was a very talented pokemon coordinator. Alexandra wasn't the best trainer, and she preferred not to battle, but she loved pokemon contests. She was excited to see some while she was here in Hoenn. She quickly got dressed, putting on a white sundress with daisies on it and white shoes to match. She brushed her long, brown hair, and brushed her teeth. She grabbed her navy backpack, which had Budew's pokeball, and Milotic's pokeball, as well as her money and extra pokeballs she had for capturing pokemon she found on her journey. Budew jumped into her arms and she held him tightly. She said goodbye to her brother and ran to catch Mr.Briney's boat to the route he lived on. She boarded the boat and breathed in the salty air from the sea. Peeko, Mr. Briney's wingull, was flapping alongside the boat. When they reached his little cottage by the sure, she yelled thanks to him and ran straight to Littleroot town. When she arrived, her lungs were burning and she was out of breath. She entered the pokemon lab and managed to say a raspy hello to Professor Birch. "Why, Hello Alexandra!" The large professor said as he stroked his beard. "As you know, I invited you and many others to Hoenn to receive a pokemon for your journey. You may choose between Mudkip, Treecko, and Torchic." Alexandra pondered for a moment, Budew still tightly in her arms. "I'll take Torchic." She said, after weighing her options. He handed her the pokeball containing the fire chick and she thanked him and swiftly left his lab.
