Going to see Prof. Palm

[Dark]

Dark stretched as she came down the stairs of their house. Small dark circles had formed under her dark lavender eyes; from the lack of sleep the night before. Her mother was cooking while her father was no where to be found. Haunter was wondering aimlessly around the house, anxious for his partner to be back.

Dark smiled at Haunter while her mother asked," Would you like some breakfast? At least before you go to Prof. Palm's lab."

"I'll just take toast mom," Dark responded as she grabbed her backpack that was already packed by the stairs.

She put it on and went over to the counter. Fresh toast was sitting there already made causing her mouth to water. Her lavender eyes simply stared at it in a daze.

"Are you sure sweetie?" her mom asked glancing at her while used to the dazed look.

Snapping out of her daze she responded," Yes mom!"

She grabbed the piece of toast and put it in her mouth. She then went to hug her mom while saying," Byf momf."

Her mother hugged her tightly while saying," Bye and be sure to come back and visit!"

Dark nodded her head and started out the door while giving one last wave toward the Haunter, maybe she'll see her dad on the way out of town.

[Prof. Palm]

Drake had left the lab and was headed over to Route 301. Drake saw someone that he went to school with. It looked like a girl named Dark. He'd talked to her a little. They weren't best friends but they knew each other. Drake thought he'd say hey. "Hey! Dark!" Drake walked up to her. "Hey, I got my pokemon today! Arn't you getting yours today too?" Drake knew that they had graduated in the same class.

[Dark]

Dark blinked a bit and the realization dawned her, it was Drake Palm. Swallowing her last bit of toast and wiping the crumbs away she replied,"Ah you did? Which one do you have? Yes I am, I can't wait."

It was true she couldn't wait but she studied Drake a bit closer. She remembered him in school and didn't really understand him that much......either that or the insomnia was finally getting to her. Oh well, it's just surprising that he's even talking to her after school.

"I was heading over to your dad's lab just now," she said thoughtfully as a dazed sorta look slipped across her face.

[Prof. Palm]

Drake smiled. "That's great! My starter is..." He pulled out the pokeball and struck a heroic pose and released the pokemon Elekid from his pokeball. "Elekid!" Drake broke his pose to stop himself from further embassiment that he would cause. In other words people were staring at him. "Well, you'd better go get your pokemon and your pokedex. I'll wait for you in Route 301 and we can start together!" Drake was excited that he could have a friend with him as he took on this great journey. He then returned Elekid to his pokeball and bidded Dark farewell until they met agian on route 301.

[Dark]

Dark had snapped out of her daze when she saw Drake's pokemon, an elekid. She then watched as he went off to route 301. So that's where they would meet....it would be strange going off on an adventure with another. Sure some people talked to her at school but not many because they thought she was strange since she'd drift off sometimes.

Shrugging, she turned on her heel and continued her way towards his fathers lab to get started.
