Year 1
Chapter One
Spring break had just begun and my family was in the City nearest to our hometown. I and mother were in the Mall cafeteria eating New York Fries when I noticed the coolest store ever.
Different posters of popular films, Television shows and Anime were presented inside the glass windows of this store. Little plastic figurines and new graphic novels also sat by the glass for all to see. Any fan girl or fan boy would have thought it was heaven in that store. The owners probably had graphic tees and manga.
"Mom, can I take a look in there?" I asked while setting my fries back on the tray.
My mom looked over to the store that I was referring to and became thoughtful for a moment. Finally she came to a decision.
"Sure, honey. Just be careful." She answered.
I thanked her and stood up from my chair. When I walked into the store, I noticed the shirts and sweaters lining the walls. Little accessories were on small racks in the centre. Other awesome items were scattered on different shelves across the room.
One item in particular caught my eye. It was a Pokéball with a heart seal perfectly placed on its round surface. I approached the shelf it was on and was about to hold it in my hands, when all of a sudden a really short person beat me to it. I soon realized it was just a little kid; he must have been at least eight or ten years old? I don't know what parent would let their son dye his hair hot pink though. This kid must have been downright obsessed with pink because even his clothing and fingernails were pink! The boy turned to look up at my face, and I finally got to see what was on his t-shirt.
A Mew t-shirt. Of all the things he had to buy, it was a Mew shirt.
Let me describe it for you. It was your run of the mill, short sleeved bright, pink t-shirt with a playful looking Mew, which was also pink, on the front. His baggy pants were also pink along with his Converse shoes.
"Eh! Stop checking me out!" The little brat squealed.
The boy threw the Pokéball that he stole from me in his hand. Up and down. Up and down.
"Look, kid… Can I have that back?" I begged as politely as I could.
Mew-boy smirked with a mischievous glint in his blue eyes, which is never good for legendary Pokémon (at least I think so). He seemed to be literally weighing my options when he began to slowly juggle the Pokéball in his hands.
"I don't know… You have to pay a pretty price for it." Mew-boy said with a tone. It was one of those fake tones people use when they're trying to hide something.
I huffed impatiently at the boy's childish behavior and tried to snatch the ball from him but failed. The Mew-boy's smirk grew wider and I rolled my eyes.
It seemed finally he would give me the answer I wanted. "Alright, alright. Calm yourself. I will strike you a deal." The boy stopped moving the Pokéball in his hands.
I raised an eyebrow curiously, this kid was weird.
"Okay… what kind of deal?" I inquired cautiously.
Mew-boy smiled slyly before jumping up and dancing.
"Only the best deal ever! I can fulfill your greatest desire, if you let me take the sticker off of this magical ball humans use to catch Pokémon!" The boy looked back down at the ball in his hand and smiled happily.
The way he said that was strange. First of all, no human can fulfill someone else's greatest desire; we aren't wizards or fairy godmothers. Second of all, it's called a seal not a sticker. Thirdly, Pokéballs are not magical and there is no Pokémon to catch!
Like I said, this kid was seriously weird.
"Uh… Fine, kid. Fulfill my greatest desire. I wish I was in the Pokémon universe!" I said sarcastically, thinking this whole thing was a joke.
How so very wrong I was. This was in fact no joke.
Mew-boy actually took me seriously and he smiled in an almost grateful way.
"Thank you, I've wanted to go home in hours!" He giggled with an exasperated roll of the eyes.
The kid sounded so stupid, he actually believed himself. Now he was thinking that he lived in the Poké-world with his Pokémon friends. What a child.
I was surprised to see the Pokéball in Mew-boys hands begin to glow with a bright, blue light. The boy simply smiled with amusement at my reaction. My jaw would have been touching the floor if my mouth could gape any wider. Eventually, the Pokéball was completely engulfed with the bright, blue light. It was now a blue orb of energy.
"Here." Mew-boy let the orb drop into my stiff hand.
I felt a nervous giddiness well in my chest at the light just sitting there in my hand.
"Don't blame me if you don't get what you wanted."
And with that stated, everything faded into white.
