Jan sat next to her friend Anthony having watched a rather riveting battle on the television. Jan and Anthony had been friends for some time now, perhaps several years and to her knowledge she was Anthony's only friend. She and him had done everything they can together whether it be studying, or playing around. The two were practically siblings and Jan thought of Anthony as such. She enjoyed his company and she hoped that he the same, which seemed to be the case, otherwise he might of told her off a couple years earlier.<br/><br/>Her father turns off the television and began to ramble around about her job with Dr. Hemlock the region's professor. For the longest time she wanted to a pokemon professor and the start on the road to being a Pokefessor is to be the helper to an existing Professor. Her eyes lit up when Jan's dad told her that she pretty much had the go ahead to become the professor's assistant. "Oh my goodness dad thank you, thank you, thank you!" She exclaimed, jumping to her feet and wrapped her arms around her father's neck in a loving embrace. She had gotten so much stuff to start off her journey, pokeballs, potions, berries and even the best in transportation! It was more then she could even dream of, more then she could ever wish for and she can't help but tear up a bit at how much trouble, and money, that her dad had spent on her, much to the justified, and rather assumed anger of her mother.<br/><br/>Without another word, she takes her pack and gives her dad a peck on the cheek. "Thanks again daddy! I'll be good, see you in a month!" She said before running out with a giant smile on her face.
