Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Bye mom! Bye dad!"
Maya gave her parents a good long hug. Her dad gave her a last frown. "Don't get into trouble."
"Yeah, yeah, don't worry." And she waved, walking away.
Her bag was pretty heavy. Despite her parents pretending they wanted her to go because of her shenanigans, they bought as much as they could for her. Her backpack was packed with potions, pokeballs and every possible status cure available. It took her all her energy to convince them not to give her tons of repels as well.

'Maybe I should donate some to poor trainers on the way.' Maya thought.
Before she had taken ten steps her pokeball got that familiar red glow and her Mareep had forced himself out of her Pokeball.
"Eeeeeeee!" The little electric sheep pranced around happily.
"Zappy! Get back in the ball!" Maya said annoyed, already summoning her Mareep back. She sighed. She really had to do something about her disobedient Mareep.

Still, her Mareep did give her a good idea. Walking around alone is... lonely. "Come out Venus, Rebel!"
Out popped her Vulpix and Bulbasaur. Vulpix was pleased to see the trainer she's been with for so long, but Bulbasaur was still nervous.
"Hey guys, care to walk with me?" Maya smiled. "Especially you Rebel, we need to get to know you better."
"Baa!" Rebel replied with a content face.

They would leave the city soon. 'I'm going to miss this place - even if I was a menace.' Her Pokemon glanced at her oddly as she giggled.

It was even an hour of them walking or Maya already felt like plopping down on a pillow.
"Oy vey, I do not have any stamina... Should've gone to a sport school or something." She complained.
Her ever active Bulbasaur was still jumping around happily. When he noticed Maya had stopped walking, he wrapped a vine around her wrist and tried to pull her forward.
"Aww, give me a break Rebel."

"Tired?"
Maya turned to face an old lady. She was quite small and looked friendly. Next to her was an Abra.
"Eh, sort of?" Maya smiled nervously.
"You know, Abra can teleport you to your destination... For a price." Her eyes had that evil gleam. It made Maya nervous.
"...What price?"
"One of your Pokemon. And you'll go wherever you want."

Maya blinked. She didn't like this creepy woman at all. But she did hate walking. So she got an idea.
"Okay, sure!" Maya handed her a Pokeball. Bulbasaur looked confused at her. Would Master really just give away her companions like that?
"Excellent! Where would you like to go?" The old lady asked.
"Anywhere warm, sunny and dry!"
"Alright, go ahead Abra."

Maya held her Bulbasaur in her hands and felt her being transported away. In the meantime the old lady opened her ball.
"What?! Empty! Why you little-"
"Haha! Psyche!"
The old lady fumed. "Grr! Abra, stop the teleport!"
Abra shook his head, unable to stop his spell. Instead, he waved his arms slowly. Maya saw it happening and realized it may not have been a good idea to trick the woman with a psychic Pokemon.

'Oh oh...'
