It was a bight Sunday morning. Brighter then all the rest, but; in the sort of brightness he liked, the brightness of the rain crashing down on the roof. It was the kind of mornings he liked. He liked the mornings and days that seemed miserable to other people. He liked to go out early and sit out there and wait for the lightning to strike and see lightning flashing back from the depths if the forest and striking back at the endless sky line. He was in the middle of getting ready. It was his 16th birthday. He was going to get hid first pokemon, and start his journey in becoming a trainer.
"Blair! Blair! Sweetie you're going to be late!" His mother yelled from the down stairs where the sweet aroma of cooked eggs, pancakes and bacon reached his room.
"Be down in a second Mom!"He yelled back down stairs. There was a knock at his window. He had known that knock. Four. Four simple knocks that he had known since childhood. The same simple girl he had known since birth. The same simple girl who had known to climb the big oak tree that had stood in front of his bedroom window of the second floor.
"Blair! Hey Blair open up!" yelled a female from outside the window knocking another four times. Her hair fell chest length and on one side of her shoulder wavy. Her eyes a deep blue colour as deep as the ocean, sometimes he almost found himself getting lost in the depths of them. A smile grew across her lips. As he turned to open the window he saw the same cheeky grin he had grown up with.
"Hey Whitlea!" Blair said excitedly helping the girl in to the room as his finished tying his bright orange shoes. He tossed his small red backpack over his shoulder and she put both of her backpack straps over her shoulders walking down the stairs talking about what they were going to do first in their adventure together. They soon found out that they would be competing with each other in trying to become the champion and get the gym badges first, but; they agreed that they would still help each other as much as possible to get better and to become the best.
"So, Blair, when are we leaving? I really want to get our pokemon, especially since you made me wait and extra three months until your birthday..." Whitlea said dragging her raggedy white sneakers against the tile floor leaving the occasional skid mark.
"After breakfast, White, just eat." He said filling his plate with the variety of foods his mother had prepared shoving it down his throat un-gracefully then bolting out the door and down the road with Whitlea at his side, "Bet I'll beat you there!" He yelled catching his speed faster and faster.
Whitlea caught up leaping forward giving herself somewhat of a jump start, "Bet not!" She yelled looking back at him not realising where she was going she found her self colliding with a boy about their age with dark brown eyes and long green hair.
"Hey! Watch where you're going!" He yelled meanly. Getting up tossing his ponytail to his side and walking on.
Blair walked up to his friend and helped her up dusting her off, "What a jerk.." He muttered placing his hand in the middle of her back giving her slight pushes forward trying to keep her moving.
"I don't know Blair.. I should have been paying attention." She replied walking off his hand then standing beside him, " besides, he was kind of cute, so I'll let it slide just this once." She said.
"White, you can't just let people boss you around like that, especially men. They'll take advantage of the fact you'll do what they say or that you're always on their side." He said swallowing looking back making sure the other guy wasn't following them.
"Like I said Blair, just. This. Once. I won't let it slide any more." She replied.
They were only a short distance away from the pokemon lab where they would receive their pokemon from Professor Juniper. They walked up the murky dirt path. Whitlea jumped in every puddle possible splashing the water up at Blair's pant legs. Blair rolled his eyes and shook water droplets off as they walked into the lab.
"Morning Professor!" the two announced as they walked in sitting themselves down on two wood chairs across from her desk. Whitlea sat patently with her hands folded in her lap, Blair on the other hand was squirming around with anticipation.
Good morning kids!" Professor Juniper said cheerfully, "Back here I've gotten the three starter pokemon for you two." She said leading them into the next room over, "These are our starters. We have the fire pokemon, Tepig. This pokemon is very committed to it's trainer and will be up for any challenge big or small. Next, our water pokemon Oshawatt. This pokemon is very timid, but once bonded with it's trainer, it will look up to it's trainer like a big brother or sister and will be willing to do anything it's trainer is willing to do. Now onto out grass pokemon Snivy. Snivy is a very coropritive pokemon. Once bonded the pokemon and it's trainer will never leave their side." She finished, "Now, Blair. Who will you choose?" She asked.
Blair stepped forward and looked at Tepig, just eying him for a moment. After a while he let a smile grow across his face as the pokemon jumped into his arms and he took off out side, "I'll meet you on the route White!" He yelled leaving the building.
Whitlea didn't know who to choose and the two other pokemon had seemed to have taken a liking to her. They had each jumped off the table and into her arms, "I can't take both of you.. I'm sorry.." She whispered putting them back on the table looking disappointed.
"What's wrong?" The professor asked her.
"I-I can't choose..." She said looking down.
" I"l make an exception you can take both, but ONLY if you prove yourself, understand?" She said looking her square in the eye.
Whitlea nodded taking the two pokeballs and pokemon running out to catch her friend
"Blair! Blair wait up!" she yelled running up behind him and jumping on his back.
