Hilda read through Mathew's post and laughed her butt off before grabbing her guitar, going into her room, and putting it in its case. "Oh boy. He sure is in a tizzy." She wanted to post something, but she had to go. Well, pack up. She woke up late due to attending her going-away party last night. Her dad put together a little party for her departure, lots of singing and dancing around a large bonfire. Lots of laughing too. She chuckled at her thoughts to the previous night, her brother singing off-key, her dad dancing with his Liligant, and one of the farmhands singing a song so fast that they could hardly keep up while dancing and playing their instruments. All in all, it was an amazing night.
She placed two spare changes of clothes in her bag, a red long-sleeved button-up shirt, a floral button-up short-sleeved shirt, khaki pants, and blue-jean shorts. She also packed one thing of pajamas, though there wasn't much of significance there. She packed other necessities in her bag. Then she picked up the rose-like Pokeball and placed it in a box before setting it in her bag. "Well, then, I think that is almost it. Don't you, Felix?"
The dog was napping on the bed, possibly for the last time. He lifted his head groggily. "Hmm, what?"
Hilda chuckled. "Is there anything you want to bring with us?"
"Food. Bring food. I like my treats." He wagged his tail. "It shows that I've been a good boy. I like being a good boy. It means I'm a good dog."
"Alright then, I'll find that." She turned and left her room, going towards the kitchen. He isn't wrong. Bringing some food should be good. She felt a sensation of pride, not from her, but from an alternate source. The dog knew, and she honestly didn't mind. Didn't take her long to find and package what she was looking for and she placed it in her bag. "I think that'll be it, boy." Felix looked back up at her and yapped, not bothering her with his thoughts. She slung her bag and her guitar over her shoulders before taking Felix's Pokeball and retrieving him, the orb taking him into their dark depths.
She placed the orb on her belt and walked out to her dad's truck. Her dad was whistling while working nearby, knowing that she was going to be out there soon. He turned towards her. "Well, I guess you're be leavin' now, huh?"
Hilda chuckled. "Yeah. I told ya I was taking one of the boats to Sinnoh." Her father nodded. Hilda glanced at her dad's light blue pickup. "Can I dive her there?"
He smiled at her. "I don't see why not. I reckon this might be the last time of drivin' for you in a while." He tossed the keys over to her. "Now, how about you go shove your things in the truck." Hilda nodded and placed her guitar and bag in the back seat before sitting down in the leather driver's seat and stuck the key in the ignition. With a turn of the key, the truck roared to life, her dad sliding into the back with her.
The drive was uneventful, and in a few hours, Hilda drove to Virbank City, where there was a port out to sea. She parked in one of the lots near the port and stepped out, taking her stuff with her. Her dad soon stepped out as well. "Well then, I reckon you better git along to the ship, now. Doubt they'll wait for a cowgirl." He winked at her.
Hilda smiled and hugged her dad. "Love you." Her dad didn't reply, but squeezed her tighter, kissing the top of her head.
He let go of her, giving off a teasing smile. "Now what did I say? Run along now. Have fun. And be careful."
The ship docked into the port, and Hilda stepped off the sea vessel, wearing a short-sleeved, ocean blue button-up top with blue jean shorts that came halfway down to her knees, a pair of brown cowboy boots, and a matching cowboy hat. People gawked at her, but she ignored them. After all, what did they know? She sighed and went off to the Pokemon Center.
She couldn't remember where Ron said he would be, which was bad. However, going to the Pokemon Center was a good idea. After all, just about everyone had to go there, especially to rest up.
The glass slid open for her as her boot clopped against the tile flooring. Felix was still in his Pokeball. "Well then, where is this Ron fellow, now?"
She glanced down at the pink Poketch her parents gave her last Christmas. It was currently on the watch application. It was 8:25, five minutes until the bus left for Snowpoint. Her hand dug into her bag and brought out one of the books she brought with her. According to the websites she read on being a trainer, there was a lot of waiting around, especially when one first starts. She also read that she wouldn't be able to make money easily too since she chose a dragon starter. She grimaced. Poor Lily. She scratched her Dratini's head, the serpent-like creature lifting up slightly before resting once more.
Hours later, Avery made it to Snowpoint City. Snow danced down from the sky as if they were tiny white ballerinas, dusting the buildings and ground with powder. She smiled, then shivered. Even in July, it was snowing. She was grateful, yet jealous that she didn't live in the snowy city. On one hand, she didn't have to deal with the absurdly cold temperatures year-round, but on the other, she missed out on the beauty that stood in front of her.
She gave a sigh before looking at Lily. The Dratini looked paler than usual and was shaking. Avery's eyes widened as she took out an orb and had Lily sucked into the sphere. "Poor thing, let's take you somewhere warm. Her eyes searched for a good place until she saw the eye-catching red roof of the Pokemon Center. Perfect place to warm up a poor dragon and find your other teammates.
She was pretty sure Noah was somewhere nearby. Aurora was also probably in the city, as it was apparently her home. Cress, on the other hand, she had no idea where she was currently.
Avery entered the Center, and it was packed. Apparently, she was not the only one who thought it was a good meet-up location. Avery clenched her teeth and lifted her arm to access her Poketech. Maybe she could message her team. However, she quickly found she couldn't. A Poketch without a Rotom or Porygon couldn't access the world-wide-web. She sighed angrily. How were they supposed to find her!

July 1st
Hilda's boat was nearing the docks at the Battle Zone. She gave a sigh. Was she going to be duped? This was a random person she never met before who was on the internet. This was a terrible idea. She swallowed. Maybe she was wrong though. She hoped so.The ship docked into the port, and Hilda stepped off the sea vessel, wearing a short-sleeved, ocean blue button-up top with blue jean shorts that came halfway down to her knees, a pair of brown cowboy boots, and a matching cowboy hat.

Avery boarded a bus, her Dratini hung around her neck. A few days ago she confirmed going to Snowpoint City to start out, especially since she wanted a Wooper really badly. They just looked so cute! She chuckled to herself and smiled at the thought of owning a Wooper then a Quagsire. They just looked so weird they were adorable!
She glanced down at the pink Poketch her parents gave her last Christmas. It was currently on the watch application. It was 8:25, five minutes until the bus left for Snowpoint.
