"Meeeeeeooooow!"
Simon woke up to the sound of his pet Meowth. "Charlie, get off of me!" Simon yelled. The Meowth reacted by only moving closer to him.
"Meeeoo, Meowth"
"Alright, alright. I'll wake up" Simon sighed. He stood up from his bed and got dressed. He looked at his alarmclock. 10 o'clock on the 8th of March. The 8th of March? HIS BIRTHDAY! Charlie jumped of the bed and licked Simon's leg. "So that's why you woke me up, Charlie". The Charlie purred and nodded. "Let's get some breakfast, and see what my present is!" Simon said while rubbing his hands together, not being able to know his present for his fourteenth birthday. He really wanted that new game, everyone had it! He walked down the stairs to the living room. "Happy birthday to you…" Simon's parents turned around the corner with a cake in their hands. "Oh wow!" Simon exclaimed while his parents kept singing, which was quite awkward. "We have your favorite cake!" His dad said. "Chocolate cake, from the bakery in Cerulean!". "Really?!" Simon was surprised. Cerulean's bakery was extremely expensive, but did have the best cakes of entire Kanto. "Anyways" his mom added. "We got you a present that we think you might like. We wanted to give it to you a while ago, but decided to wait with it until your birthday". She handed over an envelope. An envelope? What could be in it? A trip with the SS Anne? He opened the envelope and took out a piece of paper.
"Hello future student!
We'd like to inform you that you are accepted to the Viridian Trainer school. You are expected to be here at the 9th of March and you will stay here for 2 weeks. You will stay in our school during this period of time. You will travel around the Kanto region together with other students of around your age. During your stay you will learn all kinds of things about Pokémon. We hope to see you there.
Sincerely, Professor Oak."
"I'm… I… You are sending me to school?" Simon said in disgust. This was not the awesome thing he expected. "Sweetie, we are sure you'll like it!". "Mom, it's school! I'll sit there, behind a table, writing stuff down!". "No, you won't. You are going to travel around the Kanto region! It will be fun!" his dad said calmly. Simon sighed. "Alright then, I'll go to Viridian City". He walked back up the stairs and started to pack his stuff. School, he is going to school. This was the worst birthday ever! He put some clothes in his backpack, and some food. This should be enough, he would only have to cross Route 1, which wasn't too long. He picked up his backpack and went downstairs again. While walking towards the door, ready to go, he heard his mom from the kitchen. "Be sure to go to your friend Felix, when you leave". "Why?" Simon asked while he picked his jacket and put it on. "He is going too."
Yeah I know, this is a really short chapter. Next ones will be longer!
