((I apologize, starting later today, I will hop back in. I had a bit of problems))
Brighton nodded slowly to the clerk and walked out. He looked to the sky and saw that it was getting dark. He reached up and patted Ahroun's side as he began to walk towards the Pokemon Center. Ahroun leaned out and nuzzled his hand as he stepped through the threshold. The boy looked around and saw that all the rooms have been occupied. "Figures..." He said softly. Ahroun leapt from his shoulder and sauntered over to the bench, hopping onto it. Brighton nodded as he moved to the bench that his Pokemon was occupying. "Looks like it's the same bench different city." He said as he brought his hands behind his head to act as a pillow, Ahroun gently skittered over before climbing into his companions lap. Smiling gently Brighton reached down to pet his Eevee. He let his eyes fall closed and eventually fell asleep. He dreamt of that fateful night two years prior.

"You should follow your dream Brighton. No matter what anyone says." Cynthia said as she held out her bag. "Take one..." She urged kindly, her genuine smile spread across her face. Pokemon are meant to be your friends, and allies." She said her tone warm and sincere. "There are 6 in here freshly caught, so they haven't had a chance to bond with me. I want you to have one and start your adventure."
"Mom and Dad say it's my responsibility to study all I can about our history and traditions.." He said his green eyes looking eagerly at the bag before him. He felt torn, he wanted to listen to his parents' wishes but his heart yearned for adventure. "I can't just leave without letting them know..." He sighed and leaned back in his chair, his gaze dropping to the floor. He shook his head and pulled out a Pokeball. "They want me to learn about the Dowell way of life, The ambition and determination that flows within my veins. What better way to learn right?" He looked at Cynthia his eyes eager for adventure.
She nodded and smiled, as she withdrew her bag and stepped back. "Care to see which one you chose?"
Brighton was nervous, his heart racing. "Can I really do this, can I really leave this village and start an adventure?" The boy thought to himself, Cynthia was his role model and the closest thing he had to a friend. She wouldn't steer him wrong. "She never had before." He reasoned as he tossed the pokeball lightly. A flash of light emanated from a single point in the room and quickly faded. All that could be heard was a soft "patter-patter". His eyes readjusted and saw a fluffy brown fox, standing before him. "Eevee" It cried as it nuzzled his leg softly. The boy knelt and began to pet his newly acquired pokemon. "I'll call him Ahroun.." He said happily, his voice softening a little. The fox seemed to smile at the name, as if smiling in approval.
"Well Brighton, I'll let your parents know that I think you're ready for your journey." Cynthia said, as she slung her bag over her shoulder. She smiled happily, as she moved towards the door. "Take care of that Eevee, because like I said he's your ally and friend. Treat him like one." She said her voice sung melodically, as he opened the door. "I'll see you around Brighton.." She said as she left.
