Summery: Samson has always wondered of his parents past secrets. Man is he in for a surprise. (This story is mainly told though the son of Butch and Cassidy's POV though there are many flash backs recorded. I recommend reading "Giovanni's retirement" before this one though it may not be essential to understand it, as many of you know I tend to write what ever bull comes to mind no matter how random it is.

May 22, 2007:
Alright it's one thing for a boy to keep a journal(this is not a diary), but to write 'Dear whatever' every entry is where I draw the line. The truth is I just need someone to talk to about this stuff. I can't talk to my parents because sometimes it's about them. They have so many secrets they keep from me but they must know where I am, Who I'm with, What I'm doing and when I will be home 102% of the time and I am almost 11 most kids my age would have a starting pokemon and be traveling the world by now. Back to my parents secrets my mother randomly leaves the room (during the news usually) and my father runs to see if she's alright. I ask him what was wrong and do you know what he tells me?
A. "I'll tell you when your older"
B. "Don't worry about it son."
C. He denies it ever happen
So earlier tonight I was eavesdropping again:
"No Butch, we're not going to try again. I can't take it again. It's not fair that Jessie can have 3 perfectly healthy kids…" she paused. "Never mind." I knew what she was upset about. They had tried to give me a little brother or sister but after two miscarriages that took forever to conceive it seemed hopeless. Sometimes it's hard not to take it personal, if you know what I mean. I was the miracle baby and she was barley able to carry me to term. According to Dad, I was 3 weeks early and wasn't breathing on my own for the first week; she had nearly bleed to death. Why would they try again, Wasn't I enough. "We should be glad to have what we have. I mean things can not possibly be worst than before Sam right?" My father just nodded.
I'm Sam by the way.; technically Samson, but what does that matter. Before me huh… see what I mean so many secrets. Next week I get to go to Pallet to pick my first pokemon, I'm planning to get a Charmander. My parents used to have Pokemon when I was younger but they were just a really old Fearow and a blind Raticate they had both died of old age by the time I was old enough to be near them( my mother has always been very over protective which is why she wasn't thrilled to hear Dad told me I could become a trainer). Now we have a really hyper Cubone which was abandoned by his trainer and left at a pokemon center. Since my mom volunteered up there often nurse Joy asked her to care for it. He's really a sweet guy but his costant banging of his bone on my door to wake me up is enough to drive me nuts!Any way I should turn off this flash light and get some sleep.

Sam then put the flashlight into his nightstand and the little brown notebook. He was given it for his birthday from Ashley and Jim. They were his pin pals I guess you can say; not his closest friends but their parents are kinda tight, so they are all going to get our first pokemon together. Ashley already told him she wants a Bulbasaur, and Jim doesn't care much just wants one. He had always wanted a Charmander the way you can tell his mood by the flame of his tail and he looked fierce and strong. Everything about the small pokemon fascinated him. He eventually fell asleep fantasying about his future pokemon.

May 23 ,2007
Nothing much happened today. I went to school we had mystery meat for lunch. A kid named Leon and one named Micah got in a fight in my math class both were taken out of the room and not seen again for the rest of the day. I guess with it being the last school year for most of us, everyone was ready to leave. I then walked the 4 blocks back to the house. My mom as usual was in the kitchen making dinner for dad and I(she had at some point decided to be a vegetarian for some reason, I don't ever remember her eating meat but Dad says she used to; when he said this he sounded kinda sad, but I wouldn't ask I'd just get the round about answers they always do.)
It was always just the three of us; I had no grandparents or aunts and uncles, the closest thing I had to cousins was Ashley, Jim and Rosie the youngest she was 6 and we always ended up getting stuck with her; Jim and Ashley are a few months younger than me and they all live several regions away, but we all meet up about 3 times a year at a in between location usually a vacation at some hotel Jimmy would usually room with us so Jessie and James my parents buddies, wouldn't have to pay for a rollaway bed, I guess you can say we are buddies. I remembered asking about my real family when I was younger(they were having grandparents day at school or something) and they said I didn't have any. I took that as an answer then, but now I'm curious they couldn't have been that old ; my parents aren't that old. How did they die so young. Come to think about it my dad didn't even seem a little sad when he told me this. I have a lot of questions their life before me is such a mystery.
Never mind about the rest of my day it was boring. 4 more days till I get my Charmander.
---------------------------------------
Sam had a calendar hanging on the back of his door and had been marking off the days till he would head to Pallet Town, and on the day a had a large sticker of a energetic Charmander that covered just about the entire box.
Morning came early but it was a Saturday. It was the sun that woke him up, Butch was at the office putting in extra hours and Cassidy usually volunteered at a daycare Saturday mornings. So it was just Sam. He went downstairs, made himself some pop tarts and watched cartoons all morning. She came in around noon, with a few bags of groceries which he helped put away. "Sweetie, I want you to be really careful, when you going around getting badges don't talk to strangers or leave your pokemon anywhere but pokemon centers and even then I want you to be careful. There are people out there who won't hesitate to rob you, con you, or anything to get what they want. They see you and think your stupid because you're a beginner…" Cassidy paused "just be careful okay." Sam opened his mouth to object that he was not a kid any more but nodded knowing it would be pointless to argue. He could tell she was just having some separation anxiety as well as just being over protective. 'Just wait till I actually leave.' Sam thought sadly to himself. 'At least she has cubone.' he thought again as the little pokemon was chasing a stray potato that had fallen out of the bag.

A.N: not sure where I'm going with this to be honest, but thought come better for me if I post as I go. Feed back is welcome. Thanks for reading E)
