Jamie hurriedly stuffed any clothes and items of various natures into her rucksack, pushing them into holes and crevices. Around her waist was tied her belt to carry Pokeballs, and a single capsule was already there. It was empty, of course. The Pokemon in question currently lounging on her bed. She had told him to get ready, and the only reply had been a soft mumble of: 'Sleeping is preparing.' Afterwards she had left him, kind of glad he was out of the way so he wouldn't disturb her.

With everything packed and ready to go, she slung her bag on her shoulders and nudged the dozing Chimchar awake. The orange monkey yawned, glanced at her and then leapt onto her shoulders, stretching across her back to close his eyes again. He was a very silent partner, preferring to listen that to contribute. Many times, Jamie had tried to spark a conversation, but had ended up doing most of the talking, with him staring up at her beady eyed.

Downstairs, her father sat waiting for her. Upon seeing each other, they hugged and even shed a few tears (her father mainly). Coal was given a few Pokemon treats, which he gulped down hungrily. A few were saved for later. A last goodbye and hug, and soon Jamie and her partner were exiting their home and venturing down the streets of Clover and out into the Pokemon world.

Along the way, the two passed the Pokemon Laboratory. Jamie considered going in, maybe to see if she could grab another Pokemon, but knew it was unlikely. She already had a partner, she just wished she had one with a bit more of a social nature. Tightening her jumped around her waist and then her ponytail, she began the trek to her next destination.
