"Hmm...W-Wha...? You say something, MOM?"

Yeah, you wouldn't buy it if you were in her shoes either.

"Is something the matter, honey? I know you were looking forward to starting your journey today. Did something happen?"

Well, any hopes you had of her ignoring your behavior have completely thrown out the window now. Still, you do your best to persuade her that you didn't sleep to well last night from excitement and aren't feeling clear headed yet. She still doesn't seem to believe you, but she appears to accept it as at least a partial truth.

You are surprised when she walks behind you and wraps her arms around you in a gentle hug. {if Attracted to your Mother >=6}You feel a pleasant tingle run down your spine in response to her breasts pressing against your back. The sensation almost causes you to lose focus on her words. {endif}

"Where did the time go? Sometimes it feels like you only just came into the world yesterday, but now you're old enough to go out on your own and explore the world as you like."

She rests her chin on your shoulder and rests her head against yours affectionately. {if Attracted to your Mother >=6}You can still faintly smell the scent of her shampoo in her hair, and it causes a warmth to spread through your body starting from your lungs. You manage just enough self control to avoid breathing in the smell any deeper than would seem out of place. Still, you savor every bit of breath mingled with your mother's scent. {endif}

"No matter how far you travel or for how long you do so, PALLET TOWN is still your home. And I'll be here whenever you need, or want, to come back."

After leaving a brief, lingering kiss on your cheek, your MOM releases the hug and goes back to the sink to finish washing the dishes. {if@ Attracted to your Mother <6}After giving her a matching kiss on the cheek, you grab your bag and prepare to leave the house in order to get to OAK's LAB.{endif}

{if Attracted to your Mother >=6}Despite the motherly intentions behind the gestures, your libido spiked up a bit from all the little stimuli you've just been exposed to. Thankfully, your arousal is manageable, if slightly uncomfortable. What surprises you most though, is the realization that you want more. Maybe not something major, but you find yourself craving just another second or two to savor her smell or her touch.

As it stands though, you don't have much time to indulge yourself in that desire. There's only so much time left until you arrive late to the LAB to receive your STARTER POKéMON.{endif}
