Chapter 7

"The adults have been in the kitchen for almost forty minutes now," White heard Margaret whisper to Danny. "Should we check on them?"

"Why stop them from making plans to keep us from going away?" Danny retorted.

White had been able to persuade Danny and Margaret's families to let them go on a journey, and she was able to get Professor Oak to give them their starter pokemon and Pokedex. However, not everyone was happy that Danny and Margaret were going on a journey. Danny's mother and Margaret's great grandmother were both showing signs of reluctance to let them go to another region, and White had a sneaky suspicion that it was because of her.

Mrs. Parker had let Danny and Margaret's families come to her house when receiving their pokemon, but White hadn't been prepared to meet Mrs. Ketchum. Danny's mother had given White one look before asking Pastor Jonathon and Margaret's grandmothers into the kitchen for "a quick word", and it wasn't long before Mrs. Parker joined them. The adults had left Danny, Margaret, and John with White and Fiona to wait for Professor Oak to arrive.

"When was the old dude supposed to be here?" whined John, who was playing with Fiona, Loopy, and Sowny.

"Don't call the professor that, John!" scolded Margaret.

"Well he is! He's old and cranky! Me and my friends were playing next to his lab once and he yelled at us! He even said he would call the police if we didn't go home!"

"Yeah?" said Danny, who was sitting next to Margaret on the couch. "Well now I have question. Why would you play near his lab? That's private property."

White, who was leaning against the wall, smirked a little as Margaret hissed at John.

"You've been playing on private property?!" She demanded.

"No!" protested her younger brother. "That was before it became private land! But now that I think about it, I think we might have been the reason why he made it into private property."

John seemed to shrink a little at the look on Margaret's face. White had began to notice that Margaret seemed to look after John like a mother would. She was curious to know what happened to their parents.

Thankfully, Mira came downstairs the moment Margaret began telling off her little brother. For some reason, a few hours after White had called Professor Oak, he had called back requesting that both White and Mira be there when Margaret and Danny received their pokemon. While they have been waiting, Mira had taken the time to try and contact Sky Blue.

"White, I'm getting worried!" said Mira as she walked over to White. "I've been trying to contact Sky ever since you said you would come to Kalos with us, and he still hasn't answered back!"

"Have you tried everything?" White asked.

"Yes! I've called him, emailed him, texted him, left voice mails, and I'm considering sending him a letter! He just won't answer!"

"He's half blind, Mira. He could've lost his Xtransceiver in his own room. Plus Amos said that Sky Blue was already going to Kalos to deliver some important papers."

White had taken the responsibility of calling Amos about going to Kalos because Mira and Leia liked to talk to him a lot. She had thought she would have to persuade Amos to come along, but he said yes without being asked twice. However, their conversation was cut short when Mira and Leia wanted to talk to him.

"Still, what if something had happened to him?" Mira argued back.

White sighed and turned to look at her friend.
