She put her head down so she wouldnt see the house. She didnt want to think about her family and how it was falling apart right in front of her. And she also wanted to think about how she is going to leave. First she needed to know where she was going. "Mom, where are we going, she asked. "Pallet Town." "Good", Claire thought. She could leave Pallet Town and be 2 Cities way before anyone noticed she was gone. Then she look at her Eevee. "My Eevee cant fight", she thought. I'll have to go to Professor Oak and get a good Pokemon to fight with. Over the next hour, she worked out the details of her plan. Before she knew it, they were at Pallet Town. They stayed at a hotel for the night. Lucikly, her room was on the 1st floor. SHe dropped off her stuff and went to go see Professor Oak. "Hi Professor!" Claire said cheerfully, all the details of her plan working perfictily so far. " Why hello Claire! How may I help you ?" The Professor said. " I need a good Pokemon to fight with. I am gonna Start battling Pokemon and Eevee's too gentile. "Well, all I have is a Charmander. do you want that? He said. "Thats fine" Claire said taking the Pokeball " Thanks! Goodbye Professor!" " Good bye Claire!" LATER THAT NIGHT: Claire decided to leave her Mom a note. She wrote : __________________________________________________________________________ ___________ Mom, I cant stand the fact that you and Dad are having a divorce. So I left. I don't know if I will come back. But if I do, it will be when you and Dad are back together. Goodbye Mom. I love you. Tell Dad that I love him too. Claire __________________________________________________________________________ ___________ Claire sat the note on the night stand. She then gatherd her things. She put her belongings in a bookbag. She then wrapped Eevee in a blanket and set her on the bet.. Claire took a flashlight and climbed out the window. When she was out, she reached in and took Eevee in one hand. And so she began her journey , unaware of her destiny, unaware of the troubles and hopes that lie ahead.
