The following morning Laim woke up to sunlight shining through his window and directly onto his face.

"Ugh," Liam groaned as he shifted to the left away from the sunlight.

"Snvi," Ivy cried out with a yawn as she stretched and sat up on the bed looking at her sleeping trainer, before smacking him in the face with a vine.

"Alright Ivy," Liam muttered pulled the covers off."I'm awake what the big deal?" He asked glancing at his partner Pokemon.

"Snviy," Ivy replied pointing a Vine at the calendar on the wall.

"Ah, right today the day before we leave for Kanto," Laim said realizing what day it was."Let's get up and ready so we can say our goodbyes to our friends, " He said getting out of bed and heading towards the bathroom.

"Snviy, " Ivy said as she watched her partner close the bathroom door.

After a few minutes, Laim walked back out of the bathroom wearing a red plaid long-sleeve shirt underneath a black jacket along with grey pants. 

"Alright, you ready?" He asked looking at Ivy.

"Snvi!" Ivy cried out getting off the bed and using her vines to get on Laim's shoulder.

"Then let's get going," He said walking out of his room.

~~~

As he was walking towards the stairs he heard a noise coming from the bedroom of his parents and walked over to the door and opened it to see his mom packing some clothes.

"Good morning Mom," Liam greeted.

Kristina turned around and saw her older son and his partner Snivy on his shoulder.

"Morning you heading on out?" She asked.

"Yeah I was going to see Justin to spend some time with him since it's my last day with him," Liam said."You need my help?" He asked.

"No me and your father can deal with packing," She replied."Now through you mind taking the twins to keep them busy and out of the way while we pack?"

"Sure I take them to the Litwick buffet for breakfast and then I and Justin take them to the park, " Liam said.

"Snivy!" Ivy cried out in agreement.

"Excellent grab some cash from my wallet in my purse on the dresser for breakfast," She said.

"Will do and see you later," Laim said grabbing about 30 dollars for breakfast,  before leaving the bedroom and going to get the twins.

He headed to the twins' bedroom and got them both dressed Hilbert wearing a small light blue jacket over a black shirt and black pants.  Hilda wearing a white dress with grey shorts and a pink bow in her hair.

"Where are we going big bro?" Hilbert asked as he followed Laim out of the room with Hilda.

"We're going out to get breakfast while mom and dad pack, and then the park, but first to Justin's place to invite him out," Laim explained as he walked down the stairs towards the door where he put on his shoes.

"Please be our favorite the Litwick Buffet, " Hilda said excitedly.

"You just have to wait and see," Laim said opening the door and walking out with Hilbert and Hilda once their shoes were put on.

Liam was holding his little sibling's hands as they crossed the street and headed toward the outskirts of Tempest City when they across a large mansion with a purple roof.

Liam let go of Hlida's hand and knocked on the door.  A few minutes later footsteps were heard coming to the door.  A boy around Laim's age with purple hair and green eyes opened the door.  He was wearing a purple sleeveless jacket over a blue shirt and dark blue pants with blue and black shoes.  Next to him was a orange small pig.

"Morning Liam what brings you here with the twins and Ivy this morning?" He asked.

"Morning Justin and Flare, "Liam greeted.

"Snivy!" Ivy cried out smiling at Tepig.

"I was wondering if you would join us at Liteick Buffet there is something I need to talk to you about," Liam said.

"Oh really?" Justin asked.

Liam nodded."Yeah, so you going to come?" He asked.

"Sound good you agree Flare?" Justin asked glancing down at Tepig.

"Tep!" Flare cried out happily in agreement.

"Mom I'm going out with Liam?" Justin called out looking towards the living room.

"Alright have fun just make sure to be back before it's super late, " A female voice called back.

"Then it settled let's get breakfast," Liam said backing away from the door.

"Yes, Litwick Buffet!" The twins cheered happily.

"Boy they love that place don't they, " Justin said with a chuckle closing the front door as he walked out of the mansion.

"Oh yeah, they do," Liam said with a smile as he and Justin walked away from Justin's home and towards the Litwick Buffet to have breakfast.

~~~

Liam along with Hilda, Hilbert, Ivy, Justin, and Flare arrived at the Litwick Buffet.

"A table for four and two Pokemon," Liam said to a man at the front with spiky brown hair.

"Ah it's the Crystal family and the son of the famous Pokemon musical performer Jasmine," The man said with a smile."Follow me, " He said leading the group to a booth back of the buffet.

"Thank you," Justin said as they sat down at the table with the twins next to Liam and Ivy and Flare next to Justin.

"You're welcome I bring the usual drinks for the Crystal family and two bowls of Pokemon food," The man said."My name is Greg and what would you like?" He said glancing at Justin.

"A green tea," Justin replied.

"Coming right up," Greg said walking off to get the drinks.

"So you wanted to talk to me about something?" Justin asked his gaze on Liam.

"Yeah it's something important we talk after I get these two some food," Liam replied as he stood up to get the twins food from the buffet.

"Alright."

Liam then walked Hilda and Hilbert over to the buffet to get them a plate of food.  While Ivy stayed with Justin and Flare.

Soon Liam comes back with two plates and places them on the table before sliding back on his side of the booth.  Greg arrives with two lemonades for Hilda and Hilbert and a Razzberry tea for Liam and green tea for Judtin.  He also had two white bowls for the Pokemon to get food from the buffet.

"So what's up?" Justin asked.

"I'm sorry to tell you this but I'm moving to the Kanto Region.'

"Your what?"

"Tepig?"

"When are you going?"

"We leave tomorrow.  My parents told me last night that my father got a new job in Kanto."

Justin looks down. "So then this is goodbye then?"

"Yeah unfortunately but we still have today together."

"You're right let's make the day worth it," Justin said giving Liam a thumbs up as he got up from his seat.

"Agree," Liam said squeezing out the booth past his sliding to get his own food to eat.

As soon as they were all eating their fill at the buffet Lism paid for the food with the money his mom told him to take.  Liam took Hilda and Hilbert to the park to play while he spent the last of his remaining time with Justin and Flare before his family moved away tomorrow.
