Tommorow was the big day. The day that Flint and his best friend
Ollie
would begin their Pokemon journey and become Pokemon masters. While
they
were discussing what Pokemon they would choose, Flint's little sister
Zoe,
ran into his room.
"Hey, hey! What Pokemon are you gonna choose, Flint?! Huh, huh,
huh?!"
said Zoe as she ran around his room.
"Zoe, go away. Shouldn't you be asleep?" moaned Flint.
"Mommy said I could stay up a little longer because I won't see
you for a
long, long time!"
Flint thought about that for a moment and then hugged Zoe. "I'm
sorry,
Zoe. I wasn't thinking about that. But, could you leave me and Ollie
alone
for a minute so we can talk? I'll get you a lollipop."
"Oh, yay! Okay, but don't let me go to bed without giving you
a good night
kiss," said Zoe as she bounced out of the room.
"So, Flint," said Ollie. "Which one are you gonna choose?"
"I don't know. Maybe a Charmander."
"I think I'll take a Bulbasaur. But, I wish I could get a rock
Pokemon to
start out with, just like Dad."
"Yah."
Just then, Pikachu walked in.
"Hey, Pikachu," greeted Flint.
"Pika-Pika," replied Pikachu. (Hi, Flint. Hi, Ollie)
"How's it goin'?" said Ollie.
"Pikachu," (okay.)
"Pikachu, what Pokemon would be a good one to start out with?"
asked
Flint.
"Pi-Pi-Pikachu Pika," (Well, Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle
are all
good choices. But, I'd go with... hmm...trying to figure out a Pokemon
to
choose is harder than it sounds.)
"Tell me about it," said Flint. "I was thinking about getting
Charmander."
"Pika-Pi," (go for it.)
Just then, Ash walked in. "Hey, guys. Ollie, you're mother called.
She
says she wants you to come home."
"Okay," said Ollie. "Bye, Flint. See ya, Pikachu"
"Bye, Ollie."
"Oh, and Ollie," said Ash.
"Yes?"
"Don't oversleep like I did."
Ollie laughed. "Okay, uncle Ash." (Ash wasn't really his uncle,
but he
just called him that because he'd known Ash his whole life.)
Then Zoe ran into the room. "Are you leaving, Ollie?"
"Yah."
Zoe hugged Ollie and then ran off.
"Dad, I need to ask you a question," Flint said. "Why didn't
you ever make
Pikachu evolve? I mean, you've almost had him 25 years."
"Well, Pikachu and I have been friends for years, and I just
never wanted
him to change. And Pikachu didn't want to change either."
"Pi-Pi," said Pikachu (That's right.)
The next morning, Ash shook Flint. "Hey, get up, buddy. Today's
the big
day."
"Mmphhph," mumbled Flint as he put his head under his pillow.
"Okay, Flint. You've asked for it. Not too much, Pikachu."
Pikachu jumped on Flint's bed and shot a tiny jolt of electricity
at
Flint. Just enough to wake him up.
"AAAHHH!!" yelled Flint as he shot out of bed. "Okay! Okay! I'm
up! Man, I
need an alarm clock." He went into the bathroom and took a shower.
After
that, he went downstairs to the kitchen, where Misty was cooking breakfast,
and Ash was sitting at the table.
"Hey, Mom," he looked around the room. "Where's Zoe?"
"She's still sleeping," replied Misty.
"I'll go upstairs and say goodbye."
Flint went to Zoe's room and saw her sleeping. She looks so peaceful,
Flint thought. Then he took out a lollipop and put it on her nightstand.
He
tiptoed out into the hallway.
"Wait, Flint," said Zoe as she ran out of her bed and hugged
Flint.
"I'll see ya, munchkin," he said after she got back in bed.
Then he went back downstairs.
"We'll come by Prof. Oak's after you get your Pokemon," said
Misty. (It
wasn't the same Prof. Oak. The new Prof. Oak was Gary, Ash's old rival.)
"Okay." Flint walked out the door and over to Ollie's house.
Ollie was
outside waiting for Flint.
"Well, let's go," said Ollie. And the two friends went toward
Prof. Oak's
house to fulfill their dream.
