Another House, Another Journey; Alexi's Journey

Leaving her father's protective 'bubble' seemed to be an adventure in itself.

They had spent the last few days, going over the checklist of things she would need, and she was made to promise that if she fell into some form of turmoil she could not handle, that she contact home the moment she could... the only thing that stopped her from taking her father's Pidgeot was the pure fact that it was her journey, and she wanted to do it her way.

She just neglected to tell him that...

He might have known though...

"Are you sure you're going to be alright?" he asked, "I can give you all the things you need to get through your journey..."

"No, Dad," she said, probably for the fifty third time today. Yesterday was nowhere near this bad. Then again, his little baby was leaving the next day...

Not in the next few minutes.

"Positive? I have tons of stuff from my journey!"

"Dad... it's fine."

"I have potions and antidotes..."

"They're probably too old for me to use now..."

At this, her father became a bit hesitant.

".... They might be..."

That was probably the understatement of the year, for either of them. It had taken the man quite a few years to settle down, back in the day, when he started off on his adventure. Grandmother Xhanthos had told her of the many times that her father tried to 'run away from home' until he was of age to go adventure with a pokemon on his own.

His Venasaur had since left to adventure on it's own, but had returned every so often just to visit. It seemed that they were still good friends.

And that was what Alexis wanted about of a pokemon.

"Lexi..."

Glancing over at her father, she found herself rolling her eyes back, trying not to drag herself down into the guilt of his sorrowful gaze.

"Dad, I'm leaving. I've told you a million times, it's about time I left... I'm seventeen for Arceus's sake!"

Her father's pout turned into a pure frown, as he reluctantly handed the girl her magenta knapsack.

And, in an uncharacteristic moment, he smiled, warmer than she had ever seen him before, even when her mother was alive.

"I'm proud of you, you know..." he said, pulling her into a hug, "Very proud of you... No matter what I say or do against that, I am... you're turning into quite the woman..."

He grinned, just as much as she was doing at the moment. This was it, she could finally leave!

Or...

She thought she could, until he frowned lightly again.

"But get a Pokemon that can protect you. I don't want to have this little Chikorita come back and tell me my daughter's dead because it couldn't protect you..."

"Dad... I'll be fine."

"Of course you will. I just don't trust the outside world."

She let out a sigh. Her father could have been so wishy washy sometimes...

"I'm going now..."

"Come back and visit! Especially when your Pokemon gets to learning how to fly!"

"Yes Dad."

She opened the door... she was going to get out of here, whether he liked it or not!

"And don't let anyone push you around!"

She had one foot out the door... finally...

"Yes Dad...."

"And don't get smashed by a Snorlax!"

The next foot was out the door...

"Yes Dad..."

"And don't forget to contact me for money if you ne-"

She closed the door right before he could finish. If he really really wanted to tell her, he'd tell her the next time she visited. Right now, she had to get to Professor Willow's... preferably before her father came dashing out and dragging her back inside...

But... she was off, on the first leg of her journey.

Finally.

" Wait! Come back!" Yes, there it was, running after her to drag her home. It was either fight or flight...

Father, even after years of sedentary life, obviously still knew how to cover distance when he needed to, and caught up with his daughter rather more easily than was expected or comforting.

" You say you're ready, but you go and forget things." He pushed three small things at Lexi: a little wristband with altogether too many buttons on it, a featureless box with a trigger, and a wallet.

" Newfangled stuff; I never used it, but apparently most trainers do these days, so I got them for you. That's a poketech, that's an Escape Rope, with three charges already on it, and that's... money." A momentary pause, to consider whether he should amend his previous statement, or let it stand. He let it pass. " 3000 zenni; should be enough to hold you over. If you don't want it, you can throw it away, because I won't have it back." To reaffirm the fact, he turned his back resolutely and walked away, waving over his shoulder. " Get going now. Go be great." He kept his back turned, kept walking, resolved, finally, to let his daughter go her own way.

That resolution lasted all of ten feet. " Are you sure you don't want-"

And we'll leave it at that. Continue on to yon lab.

It doesn't really matter to me personally, as I'm largely indifferent to genexp, but, technically, any mod your receive that contains some significant amount of interaction or narrative should be given genexp. If I'd just said (You get 3000z, a poketech and an escape rope), that wouldn't garner Genexp, obviously.
