...you ever have one of those days where you think 'it just can't possibly get ANY worse?' well, for me today has REALLY been turning out like that.

After all its not every day that you have a insane Absol out for your blood for who-knows-why, and an evil organization that has an army of corrupt dark and ghost Pokemon after you. AND you have to deal with a hyperactive mankey, a know-it-all trainer, a group of hybrids who think your their leader, and being half Pokemon all at the same time.

And you think your life is rough?

But im getting ahead of myself here, lets start at the beginning, shall we?

Prologue: The Beginning

--

My name is Daniel Terrian and I'm 15, most people just call me Dan though. I live in a town just like any other with everything any other town would have: a school, grocery stores, Pokemon centers, the usual. In other words, a pretty boring place.

Like most people, I wanted to start out on a Pokemon journey when I was 13 to see the world and all of its Pokemon and people, but my mom had other plans for me. See, she was one of the controlling types, you know? Never lets you spend the night at your friend's house, always wants to know where you are and what you're doing, freaks out if your gone for longer than a three minutes - controlling. So the idea of her son going off on a journey all over the place, often not knowing where I was or if I was OK kinda set off every alarm and bell in her head. I'm pretty sure that you can see what her answer was. Instead, she wanted me to go and work at the same exact place that she worked at, the store right down the street.

So there I was, staying at home, going to school like a nice boy and coming home at 3:15 every day and either visiting her or calling her at work so she knew i was home. See i told ya, boring. So lets skip to the present, shall we?

Monday, August 14, 3:18 P.M.

'The day my life changed'

"OK, bye mom" click 'Sometimes i wonder about her...' I thought as I hung up the phone. "If only I had went on a journey when I was younger; At least i can escape life by watching some good old T.V." I said walking to the couch and flopping down on the rough, worn down cushions, and turning on the TV to Trainer's channel.

'Heh, I'm still surprised she hasn't blocked this yet.' I thought as the rerun documentary of Nidorans ended and the show went to commercials, when something they were saying actually caught my eye.

"Kids, are you tired of everyday life? Do you want the adventure of a Pokemon journey, but for just some reason you are unable to have one? Do you like Pokemon but aren't able to have one?"

"Yea yea, get to the point."

"Well, if you enter your name and address in this grand Pokecontest, you can have the biggest excitement of your life! Have your own Pokemon! Fight other trainers! Be your own Person! But you have to hurry as only ten people will win this prize, and once its gone we wont offer this again! Just send a letter to our offices saying what your favorite Pokemon is and why you want to win to:

165 W Oak St.

Trenberry Town

78364-9384

Remember time is running out, enter today!"

"... Well what have i got to lose? I might as well send in a letter, even if my mom won't let me go; After all it's not like she knows anyone there."

So I went and wrote the letter saying the usual thing that someone would send to one of these contests, but I put my own little part in it about how my mom never let me do ANYTHING; How my life was so boring and there was nothing here for me, and how I wish I had a Luxray but I could never get one.

'Heh lets see what they think of that.' So I sent it off and hoped for the best; Of course i kept it to myself, because I know what would happen if I told anyone, my mom would hear it and i would never be home alone ever again.

Come to think of it though, I would barely see her again after what happened.

One week later

SLAM "AARRRRGGGHH!" "I swear if its not one thing its another, first my girlfriend leaves me, then someone steals my clothes after gym and I get embarrassed in front of the school! My life couldn't be any worse! Oh wait, I just remembered, I have to work at that cruddy old store with my mom when im out of school!" I said stomping past the phone right into the living room and hoping as I sat down on the couch that there would be something good and distracting on the TV. crunch

"Huh? Whats this?" And when I got up to see what i sat on, i found out it was a letter; To ME none the less! "Mom must've missed this..." Then when I opened it and saw what it said, I swear I could feel my jaw literally hitting the floor. It said that I was one of the Grand Prize winners of the Pokecontest!

"YEAAAAAAAAAAA!"
