(So, some of you might be familiar with my OC, Daniel. He's a young coordinator from the Unova region... And he's in a wheelchair. Well, in this RP, we're going right back to the start of Daniel's journey. Back when he didn't need to use a wheelchair, and back when he was off out on his very first journey in Hoenn, and, like many trainers, was armed with nothing but his starter, and his dream of being top coordinator)

"I promise, mum, I'll be fine," Daniel assured his mother as he hobbled towards the door, crutches squeaking against the varnished wooden floor, "Every kid goes out on a journey when they're ten."
His words did little to ease her worries. It was hard for any parent to send their child out in the world, she knew that, regardless of whether or not they had their pokemon with them. Out where dangerous wild pokemon, or other trainers, or even dangerous thugs like Team Plasma could beat them up, steal their pokemon... Kill them, even. But then again, most parents weren't sending disabled children out in the world alone. Daniel had been born with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and thus, he'd needed a lot of medical care throughout his life. He'd had physiotherapy, been put on pain medication, and been put on crutches and leg braces, to make it easier for him to walk without hurting himself. Would he really be able to cope, out on his own?
"You'll call me as soon as you land in Hoenn, got it?" she said desperately, "Just so that we know that you landed safely."
"I'll get there fine, I promise, mum"--
"Call me," she demanded, placing her hand on his cheek, "Honey, you know that I'm terrified that something will happen to you out there...So please, just do that for me, ok?"
"Ok, mum," Daniel answered, rolling his eyes, "I'll be fine, though. I've got Snivy with me, if anything happens."
"Vy!" the small grass type chirruped affirmatively.
She nodded. "Alright then, sweetheart. Goodbye, for now," she breathed, giving him a last hug before he headed for the door, Snivy in tow.
That night, Daniel arrived in Petalburg City, hobbling out of the airport with Snivy at his side.
"Our first journey... Isn't it exciting, Snivy?" he chirruped.
"Sni-VY!" the pokemon affirmed.
