Chapter 1: The everyday life
I woke up this morning the same way I did every morning. As the sun slowly rose at the dawn, light slowly came crawling into my room. It chased whatever was left of the night, and along with it, the depth of my sleep, up until the light started to invade my face. I let out a slight groan, and tried turning the other way, whispering a very quiet "later". However, I was greeted by a voice. "Pika! Pikapi!" I knew right then that Pikachu didn't want me to stay asleep, she wanted me to get up, probably because she wanted me to take her on a walk. That Pikachu was a gift from my father when we lived in Lilac city, a magnificient city with a close contact with nature. My father used to be a refree for the Lilac City gym, but due to more and more of them quitting for more paying jobs, my father eventually had no choice but to start traveling between cities to keep his. His pay however got up due to the extra work he was putting and my parents eventually were able to afford an actual house instead of Lilac's tiny apartments. I moved with my mother to New Arden, a small town that was very peaceful. I think it may have been because my parents thought that by moving closer to Professor Dom's lab it would give me a higher chance of getting my first pokémon. I think personally that it pretty much gave the complete opposite effect, as it honestly seemed like Professor Dom hated me. I don't know, but when he greeted me with "Looking at how his Pikachu seems to be, he probably wouldn't last a week as a trainer" when we moved in, ther might have been a small clue that he hated my guts. There might have been a few other things that made his opinion about me worse, but I think it should be for later, before I start rambling my whole life and forget about Pikachu.
I got up from bed and quickly changed into my usual clothes: black shoes, a pair of jeans, a white t-shirt with a leather jacket above. I think that most people thought I always wore the same clothes, but I actually just had only that kind of clothes, just multiple times, since I didn't wear anything else other than the occasional suit, which annoyed my mother quite a bit. Pikachu then ran and jumped on to my desk, pointing me a note. It was written by my mom.
Jean,
I will be gone to Aphmau's mom's house to drink some coffee probably when you will wake up. I know that today will probably be a very busy day for you, but whenever you have the time to do it, could you perhaps go to Crossroads Corner's pokémart to buy me some Moo Moo Milk? We are starting to be short on it.
Love,
Mom
Well, I needed to take Pikachu on a walk anyway, I could always do both at the same time. "Pikachu" I started, "Come, we're going on a walk to Crossroads Corner." She happily jumped next to me. Her walks to Crossroads Corner were her favorites, as I usually let her fight a few Pidgeys on our way. I don't know why, but she always loved to mercilessly murder those Pidgeys, which I didn't mind as I could sell their feathers to that crazy cosplaying lady in Crossroads Corner. I think that she loved my Pikachu doing that so much that she started to wear a Pikachu costume just to encourage her to do it more often. As I was going to walk outside to Route 1, a boy about my age came in my direction.
"Hi! It's unusual to have a visitor coming in this area. What's your name?" I asked.
"Hi! I'm Sean. I came here to get my first pokémon and my trainer's license so I can start collecting badges!" He happily replied.
Oh, right. It was today.
