Tad walked down the streets of Anchore, a Rattata following close behind. Every few steps, he would look back at the small pokemon and shake his head. That Rattata, he thought, She's gonna miss me so much. He adjusted one of his backpacks's straps just before reaching Prof. Idaho's lab, sneaking another look back at Rattata. At the door, he paused and squatted, placing a hand on her head. "You know I'd have asked the professor if you could be my starter," he said, "but you didn't want to travel with me, remember?".
Her whiskers brushed against Tad's arm when she looked away from him, clearly a bit upset. She turned back to Tad after a moment, a tear forming in her eye, before running off.
"I'll visit you later, Rattata!" He stood back up, watching her for a minute. "If you don't get caught by some trainer, that is." He smiled, but his eyes showed a bit of sadness. Once Rattata was out of sight, he walked into the lab. "Prof Idaho, I'm here to get my starter," he said, now grinning.
