Richard slowly got out of bed and surveyed his surroundings. It was a smaller bedroom with just enough furnishings to call it that. His things,as well a note were laid out on a desk next to the bed. He took took the note and read it silently,

“ Dear Richard-
I took the liberty of reading your trainer card to find out your name and contacted your parents they were ecstatic to hear you were fine and wanted you to know that Most of Galactic was taken care of thanks to Jay and Dawn. But I'll let you learn more from them, they sent a new PokeGear to you that has a phone feature in it. You'll find this as well as new cloths under this note. Well if your reading this chances are your fit enough to talk to me in person. Come on to the kitchen and I'll cook ya what ever you'd like!
-From Crys.”

After finishing the note he took the time to get changed and do a few stretches, it had felt like forever since he had actually moved. After the stretching he took out the PokeGear he had received and looked through the contacts, On it were the numbers for His Mother, Professor Rowan, Jay, Dawn, and Crys. It was good to hear some information about his family, as well as Jay and Dawn, in fact it was a the weight of the world was lifted from his shoulders. He then head down like the note instructed.
“OH! Your up sorry I wasn't up there to greet you a good morning” Crys cheerfully chanted as she stepped out from the kitchen. Crys had dark blue hair that she wore down until the mid of her back that then split into two pony tails. She had Light purple eyes and wore what seemed to be an old trainer vest over a tank top. Accompanying this she also had a skirt that went down to her knees, knee high socks and a pair of ladies “Running Shoes” that completed her ensemble. “Well I'm guessing you read the note so what woulda ya like!” she exclaimed in a very friendly tone.
“Well Bacon and eggs would be nice if its not too imposing ma'am, I'm starving!” Richard asked nervously. He wasn't used to this feeling as well he had never been found on a mountain and raised back to good health before and definitely wasn't used to this kindness.
“Not a problem! Coming right up!” Crys wondered back into the kitchen and began cooking. Soon fragrances filled the house and had Richard's mouth watering. Soon the meal was done and they ate, at first it began in an awkward silence.
“Sorry for being rude, but thank you for everything you have done for me Crys. “ Richard bowed deeply.
“No need for such formality Richard you needed help so we gave it to you.” She smiled and nodded kindly.
“Not to look a gift rabidash in the mouth but I need to try and get home” Richard smiles back and stood tall.
“Well.. with talk with your family they believe you should take some time off and just relax..” Crys replied with a ting of guilt. “They are worried that your...losses are going to affect your life too greatly. “ she bowed her head slightly. Richard was a little stunned that his family would pawn him off like that but he took the hint. Yet.. he straightened himself and looked Crys in the eye, “Ms. Crys I am a pokemon trainer and my journey is never over, yes there were losses but.. I never forget what was given up to let me continue. So I ask is there a Professor in town that could lend me a pokemon!” Richard said with confidence.
Crys could feel the vigor coming from this young man and looked him in the eye as well.” I will tell you as long as you promise me one thing.” she started. Richard nodded, he would do anything. “If it gets to the point where you cannot take it any more you will quit”
“I promise” Richard replied with strength and conviction in his voice. “ I will not fail my friends again.. no matter what, I can survive this..and so will they!” he thought to him self and smirked with confidence.
