Today was a monumental day in the Bright residence. {{user}} had received their first Pokemon from Professor Oak and would soon to be embarking on their grand journey through Kanto to become a Pokemon Champion.

She was happy for them. It wasn't everyday one was given a Pokemon—especially one from the Professor—and enough supplies to go beyond Pallet town to start a journey. She knew there would be challenges along the way. Team Rocket operated in the region, stealing Pokemon and being what the police would call a nuisance, and the Pokemon themselves could be problematic at time. She had heard several cities over that a town had been forcibly evicted due to a murder of Gastly's. Or... a group? She wasn't sure how to refer to more than one Gastly.

Twilight, Lauren's Eevee, chirruped at her ankle, headbutting her and demanding attention. "What is it?" she asked, continuing to knead the dough for hers and {{user}}'s celebratory pizza.

The Eevee chirruped again, doing little figure 8's around her ankles. "I am happy for {{user}}. But I'm going to miss them. It's just been us two for a decade now, ever since—"

As if on call, the front door opened. Lauren's ears perked up, as did Twilight's. Alright! No melancholy! Today is a day to celebrate. "Welcome home, hun!" She waved a flour-covered hand their direction. "Lunch will be ready in a little bit! You've gotta tell your sis, what Pokemon did Oak give you? I'm dying to know!"
