Ash And Horizons

Liko's First Journey (Part 1)

Liko slowly woke up from her sleep, her mind still lingering on the evening spent with Ash on the wing deck after she give her chocolate on Ash, enveloped in the tales of his remarkable journey. The adventures he had embarked on were as varied as they were thrilling, each story painting a vivid picture of the challenges and triumphs he had faced.

However, amidst her awe and admiration for Ash's adventures, a subtle twinge of jealousy crept into Liko's thoughts. She couldn't help but notice a recurring pattern in Ash's tales – his companions, more often than not, were girls. Whether by chance or fate, they seemed to gravitate towards him in times of danger or when trouble came knocking.

As she mulled over this realization, Liko couldn't shake the feeling of unease that settled in her chest. It wasn't that she doubted Ash's intentions or the strength of their friendship, but rather an inexplicable pang of jealousy that gnawed at her insides.

"Why is it that most of his companion are mostly girls?" she wondered silently, her thoughts betraying a hint of insecurity amidst the admiration she held for Ash's adventures.

Among all of Ash's companions, Serena held a special place in his heart as his childhood friend. Their bond was forged in the innocence of youth, strengthened by shared dreams and aspirations. Yet, even as Liko acknowledged Serena's importance in Ash's life, a flicker of envy danced in her eyes.

It wasn't that Liko doubted Serena's friendship with Ash, but rather an unsettling feeling that she couldn't quite shake off – a fear of being overshadowed by the presence of other girls in Ash's life.

As she wrestled with these emotions, Liko resolved to confront her feelings and find solace in the unique bond she shared with Ash, hoping to quell the tide of jealousy that threatened to engulf her heart.

As Liko woke up from her bed, she got greeted by her first partner Sprigatito, coming out from the Blanket Liko used in her sleep and stretching its body.

"Good morning, Sprigatito." Seeing Sprigatito in the morning ease the jealousy part she felt earlier.

"Nyaooha!" Sprigatito happily replied with its tail wagging left and right.

After that, Liko got up from her bed and changing her clothes to her new clothes.

After she changing her clothes, she looked back into the mirror, "All Right!"

Liko's new outfit perfectly encapsulates her adventurous spirit and practical approach to her journey as a Pokemon trainer. She opts for a lightweight, sleeveless tunic in a vibrant shade of azure blue, reminiscent of the clear skies above her as she explores new horizons. The tunic features intricate detailing along the neckline, adding a touch of elegance to her ensemble.

Over her tunic, Liko layers a cropped vest in a contrasting color, crafted from durable yet breathable fabric to provide extra warmth and protection during her outdoor adventures. The vest is adorned with practical pockets and compartments, allowing her to carry essential items such as Pokeballs, potions, and other supplies with ease.

For bottoms, Liko chooses a pair of form-fitting leggings in a sleek charcoal gray, designed to offer unrestricted movement while providing comfort and support during long days of exploration. The leggings feature subtle stitching along the seams, adding a touch of sophistication to her look.

On her feet, Liko wears sturdy hiking boots in a Gray hue, equipped with rugged soles to provide traction and stability on various terrains. The boots are waterproof and reinforced with protective toe caps, ensuring her feet remain dry and shielded from potential hazards while trekking through the wilderness.

To complete her outfit, Liko accessorizes with a leather belt cinched at the waist, adorned with metallic buckles and clasps for added flair. She also wears a pendant necklace, a cherished memento from her grandma, serving as a reminder of her grandmother's gift before she go outside Paldea.
