Pokémon Center – Viridian City
Early morning, golden sunlight filters through the glass dome of the center

[VIRIDIAN POKÉMON CENTER – FRONT DESK AREA]
MIA, dressed in travel clothes for the first time instead of her usual staff uniform, stands near the reception counter. A large traveling bag rests by her feet that cost her greatly because it's like an bottomless bag of hermione, it has a big space and it was made by the Devon Corporation.
Both Audino and Chansey are by her side. There's a warm hum in the center—trainers are passing through, but the air feels different today.
MIA was smiling slightly, trying to hold back tears "Nurse Joy, Bea... I just wanted to say thank you. For everything. For letting me stay, learn, and... for trusting me. You didn't have to, but you did."
Nurse joy waving her hands gently, her voice kind but a little emotional.
"You were never just a staff Mia, you are our friend. You've been a real light around here. And your Audino and Chansey? Absolute stars."
Bea, the assistant nurse, steps forward, her white uniform crisp, her long green hair tied back. Grinning, teasing slightly
"Honestly, it's going to be a lot quieter without all your humming during night shifts. But really, you were a huge help. Don't think we won't miss you."
Mia's eyes begin to shimmer, and she quickly wipes at them, trying not to break into full tears.
"I'll come back and visit. I promise. I'll call."
Nurse joy reaching under the counter, pulling out a soft pink-bound journal
"This... was mine, back when I had my own journey across Johto. I never thought I'd pass it on, but... I want you to have it. My notes, thoughts, field sketches. Maybe it'll help. Maybe it'll just remind you that every journey matters."
Mia gasps softly, taking the journal with shaking hands.
"Nurse Joy... I—I don't know what to say."
Nurse joy gently said
"Just go. Live your story. Travel where you can. And remember—be careful in every step you make, being in the wild is dangerous, aside from wild Pokémon you should be careful of some strangers."
Mia nodded in agreement.
"Yes, i will be careful enough too not goo deep on the forest, ill stick to the road not off track."
The Bea approaches holding something carefully. "One more thing. This egg was an offspring of my pokemon that layed yesterday and i need someone to entrust it. And decided that it was you." She said handing out the Pokémon Incubator.
Mia's eyes widen as she accepts the Pokémon incubator and inside the egg was, glowing slightly with a soft blue tint.
Mia tearfully
"Thank you. Thank you both... so much."
"Okay enough thank you, are you prepared? Did you already decide where you're going?" Bea ask inspecting my bag.
"Yeah, i finally decided which region i should start my journey" she replied smiling slightly.
"Oh really? ...Tell me which region you are traveling so i could tell my cousins to let you part-time at their Pokémon Center i know they'll appreciate another hand" Nurse joy said with a smile still being a helpful.
Being teary-eyed again she gratefully said Thank You again while bowing, then straightened up with determine smile "I decided to go....."

[VIRIDIAN CITY – On The Way TO VERMILION]
The morning sun gleams as Mia walks down the well-trodden path, with Audino on her left and Chansey on her right, both wearing small nurse caps. They stop for a moment, looking back at the Pokémon Center in the distance.
All three wave in unison—tearful but smiling. From the doorway, Nurse Joy and Bea wave back, standing side-by-side.
She said to her Pokémon
"Alright, guys... next stop... Vermilion City. There's a ship waiting for us..."
Audino squeaks softly, nudging Mia's hand with her paw. Chansey lets out a cheerful coo.
Laughing while wiping her eyes
"Alright lets go,."

as Mia, Audino, Chansey, and the Egg continue walking, sunlight trailing behind them, toward their first true adventure.
