Luke walked towards Central Park. School had just let out for the next month for the annual Pokemon catching season. This was the month when most pokemon around the New England area migrate south. He lived in Manhattan, in a neighborhood in the south side of New York. It was a little ways from the park, so he knew he would have to take the subway or a cab. Since he had no cash on him, and he still had his train pass, he decided to take the train. There was a line to get through "Just fucking great, now I'm going to wait a whole hour just to get home," he thought to himself. Luke was a 15 year old trainer. His brown hair and freckles made him quite the attractive teenager. He was smart, a very skillful trainer, he had it all. Luke heard yelling from his right side. A 17 year old girl and a 40-50 year old guy shouting at eachother. The girl pulled out a great ball and the man pulled a pokeball. Luke smiled. He knew he was about to witness a intense battle. A police offerer ran up and yelled out. " ACE TRAINER ALYSSA CHALLANGES VETERAN JAMES TO A OFFICAL !" " NEXT!" Luke turned forward and walked up to the window. He gave his pass to the attendet. "Manhattan train? To the left. Hey kid, keep a sharp eye out. Rumors say that Team Rocket is here in New York City, and if you see one, call the police," Luke nodded his head and left the window. He walked to the platform. He kept thinking about what the attendet said. Team Rocket was a dangerous group. Known for stealing, violence, and kidnapping, they had been run out of New York 13 years ago, so that they finally came back didn't SUPRISe him. The train came up to the platform. He stepped in. The doors closed and the train left and went towards Manhattan.
10 minets went buy and he was 3/4 the way there. The train all of stopped. Someone came over the intercom. " Lady's and gentlemen, a team rocket member was spotted in the Queens area of the city. Police are on there way to the scene and on all trains to make sure no other members are on board. Please have your trainer ids out." Shortly after a officer came on the bus. He scanned everyone's ids. No one was taken off. The train started up again and he was headed back to his home.
Luke stepped off the train. He walked towards his apartment. He walked up to the door and pushed the button. It opened. He walked to the elevator. Something caught his eye. A boy with short blonde hair and a girl with fire red hair were siting talking in the lobby. He hadn't seen them before in the building, and it seemed weard they were just siting in the lobby. The elevator opened. He walked in and pressed 4. He got out and walked to his room. He took out his key and unlocked the door. He stepped in. His apartment looked like a hotel room. TV, couch, and kitchen in one room, and his bed in the other. He took off his shoes and put his book bag in the closet. He reach in his pocket and pulled out two pokeballs. "Come on out" two pokemon appered, a Lopunny and a Delcatty. He petted and played with his pokemon. They had been with him for what feels like forever. He then went and sat on the couch. The news was still covering the Team Rocket story. He yawned. " Goodnight guys," and went to bed. Little did he know his entire life would change.
