Prologue
I'm excited! I've been working hard all year! I've struggled through Pokémon type tests. Heck! I've struggled through studying.
I should have gotten my starter Pokémon five years ago when I ten.
I hope I get one this year.
"Alright everybody! Calm down. I have a very important announcement to make."
The entire Pokémon school auditorium grew quiet. Anticipation filled the air as the speaker resumed talking.
"As you all may know, three of the students with the highest scores will be selected to receive their starter Pokémon."
I know I'm going to get a starter this year. I've aced every test I've taken this year.
"The consolation prize for the fourth place student will be a luxury ball."
I got this!
"Now to announce the winners!... "
"Fourth place: Leo."
No! I ran, got the luxury ball, and ran out of the auditorium.
"Ha ha ha! The kid of Pokémon masters can't even get a Pokémon!"
Principle Pine's POV
I pulled my walki-talki out from its holster.
"Leo is about to leave the school in frustration. Just let him through."
"Gary, down to my office for that
unnecessary comment."
The entire auditorium said in an increasing pitch, "Ooooooooo!"
