Way to the Dawn [Eng Version]

Chapter IV: Mailboxes' Hunt

The young Ranger was not but really NOT awake at all this morning! He was even leaning on Kate, who was in no way disturbed. She was even glad that the boy trusted her enough to use her shoulder as a pillow.

- (Who's dozy, today?~)

- / Quiet Fischl..../

...The teenager could swear that this bird of misfortune took far too much pleasure in teasing him. As if it wasn't enough that he had barely registered the fact that the sleazy guy from the day before was binded up a smidgeon on the tight side in a corner and was being called "Ollie" for some obscure reason, already...

- Hello? Earth to Kellyn?

The teen jumped phenomenally at his name, and in his panic performed his salute, showing that he was, more or less, listening. The caller, Barlow, burst out laughing at the absurdity of the situation.

- Bouahaha! Calm down, Kellyn! There is no rush!

The brunet, understanding the situation he had gotten himself into, blushed furiously and hid his face with his hands. He had only one desire: to die in a hole. His partner gave him a gentle peck to reassure him.

- (Come on little Amethyst. He's just teasing you. It's alright...)

The teal-eyed one watched Fischl for a moment before sighing. He really had to take care of this pathological shyness...

- Humhum! Let's get serious for two minutes. Kellyn. I need you and Fischl to go get Prof Hastings. He returned from his trip, and is coming here to analyze this strange machine.

The brunet frowned before having an illumination. Was he the old man he had seen at the very end of his 1 Day Internship?

- Problem... He has an annoying tendency of getting lost in his haste. So can you go get him?

- "Roger!"

The duo then rushed outside, wasting no time, because the professor was still an elderly person, so if a somewhat fierce Pokemon fell on him.... It's better not to think about it.

As they approached the woods, someone ran into them, knocking the brunet on his back. The young Starly hovered near him, somewhat panicked.

- (Kell! Are you ok?!)

- / Argh...Nothing's broken! But, and the other man?/

The young Ranger quickly stood up and went to meet the one he had hit.

- Ouch...By Arceus, I'm sorry I ran into you!

The man, who was relatively old, accepted the hand offered to him by the teenager. He helped him up and checked that everything was fine.

- Wait a minute...I recognize you! You are one of the students from the last time! You are the mute one, right? Kellyn if I remember correctly?

The boy hesitated for a moment before picking it up. It was Prof Hastings.

- "It's me, Professor."

- So you became a Ranger in Vientown, huh? Well, I hope you like it. Otherwise, what are you doing here? Are you patrolling?

- "Our boss sent me to fetch you, Professor..."

The man with the cane sighed wearily.

- Barlow, huh? Frankly, they all worry a little too much. I hold it without problems! Proof in support, we collided, and I'm fine!

That, the brunet could not prove him wrong.

- Anyway....He wants you to escort me? So be it. Guide us, Kellyn.
