Leavetaking

It's early morning on a Tuesday and you're moving about the small room you've been given to sleep in. It's basically a closet, but it's warm and dry so you have no complaints. You spend very little time in it besides sleeping, anyway. You've carefully filled your pack with everything you'll need on the road. Having spent most of your life living out of a pack, you're comfortable living light and making do with what you can carry.

You're fully dressed in your usual hiking gear. A surprisingly comfortable spandex/lycra thing that covers your entire body from thighs to throat. It clings to your body perfectly, often leaving you feeling more naked than clothed, but it was a gift and you've been light on options. Especially after one of the Team Rocket women went through your things and threw away all of your other clothes. You suspect she was put up to it, but the Pokemon Trainer women all seem to enjoy looking down on you, so maybe it was her idea.

Of course, like most Team Rocket "gifts," it came with a humiliating catch. The zipper that runs all the way up the back has a tiny catch lever on it that makes it impossible to work yourself. You require someone else to operate it for you. The guys love making you ask nicely for them to zip or unzip you, especially when you need to pee.

So as you pack your bag, your outfit hangs loosely from your shoulders, threatening to fall off of you any moment. It's precisely why you favor a backpack with so many straps and buckles across your body. You've had to make the trip to Pewter City with your zipper down on more than one occasion. Either you couldn't find anyone to help you or you'd accidentally had too much to drink that morning and didn't want to risk an accident in the woods.

Throwing your bag on and buckling it tightly, you arrange your bodysuit thing to seem more or less fitted to you.

"Time to go!" Plucking the Pokeball containing your beloved Pidgey from its spot on your shelf, you affix the ball to your belt and look yourself over in the mirror with satisfaction. You actually almost look like a proper trainer.

You pull open the door and set off on your adventure, knowing your first order of business is to simply get out of town. You will head to Pewter City. You know the path by heart and if memory serves, you can progress from there to Cerulean City. You'll just have to pass through that cave...

As soon as you exit your room, however, you bump face first into a Team Rocket Grunt with a groan. It's Pete, one of your biggest tormentors.

"Oh, hey Viv. Going somewhere?" He grins at you and you already know he's going to insist you let him zip you up. He loves forcing you into compromising positions. It will be easier to just let him, but then you'll be zipped up and will need to find help getting out of your outfit while on the road. If you argue with him, it could cause trouble.
