Evan lay on his bed, his face buried in his pillow. Music was blaring in the background. Nothing was distracting hiim right now.

The whistle blew, but Evan kept wrestling. The whistle blew again.

"Stop wrestling. Come to the center."

There was five seconds on the clock. Evan was down by one. He needed a takedown to get the two points. The whistle blew and Evan charged at his opponent. The other wrestler just backed up and the whistle blew again.

"Shake hands." Then the other wrestler's hand was raised. Evan's third loss in three years, where he was two points away from placing at the biggest tournament in the state.

Evan screamed into his pillow more.

Evan opened his phone right after it buzzed. It was from Joanne.

"We need to talk." Evan already knew how this was going to go. He didn't text back.

"This isn't working out for me. I like you a lot, I just don't think you're the one."

Just like that.

Evan yelled and chucked his pillow at the wall.

March 22, 2016

Evan was trying to get a ride to lifting. His parents weren't helping him at all.

"Maybe I wouldn't be begging you for a ride if you were good parents and would help me out!" Evan said angrily.

"Your workout are the least of our worries right now! In case you haven't noticed, nobody in this family is working and you kids are living on like normal!" his Mom yelled back.

Evan grabbed his phone playing the music and threw it at the same spot he threw the pillow. So many things were happening at once. His grades were dropping as college letters were coming, he had to stop playing clarinet. Everything was on pause as his parents would say, yet he was getting left behind. Evan just wanted to go back.

He walked over to his dresser and opened the underwear drawer. He pulled out his Nintendo DS and all of his games. He then grabbed the television remote and turned it to Netflix. He went and searched for "Pokemon" and found the first season of it. He put Pokemon Diamond into his device and began playing. He was at the end of his game. At the champion of the Elite 4, Cynthia. He tried dozens of times, but was never able to beat her. Eventually, Evan's nine year old self gave up and put away the game for a long time to play the other games. This was his first game. A Christmas present from his parents.

Evan thought he had Cynthia. He thought the battle was his, until his home began shaking. The television was flashing on and off. Evan was down to his last Pokemon and Cynthia was on her's. Evan tried to select his move, but hit the wrong one. The shaking intensified, the flashing sped up. Evan fell off of his bed and passed out. The last thing he heard was 3 screams.

...

Young one. What is your name?

Evan Oliver.

Evan, that's a nice name. How old are you, Evan?

15

Evan Oliver. 15 years old. Where are you from?

Dayton, Ohio.

Evan Oliver. 15 years old from Dayton, Ohio. Is all of this correct?

Yes.

Evan, we can sense the amount of heart and soul you possess. The world of Pokemon needs your potential. Catastrophe has hit the normal world and the Pokemon world simultaneously. You, along with many others, are the hope that we hold in the Pokemon world. That is why, we need you. Now, I must ask you, do you want to come to us?

Evan felt as if he didn't even have a mind of his own. He didn't even know how he was communicating. He definitely wasn't speaking.

Yes.

Now, we must determine where we need you the most. You are given three wishes. You are allowed to wish for whatever you want, including more wishes. What do you wish for?

Know what there is after death. Understand true happiness. To be a champion.

You are quite different Evan. You have demonstrated your lack of greed. However, you have a thirst for knowledge and seem like you would do anything to gain it. You have a burning desire to be successful and are willing to put in the work to achieve it. Your answer has given us more than enough information. We have made our decision now.

Go become a champion.


Yes, I know it was short. I hope it isn't terrible.

There will be actual action next chapter.

If you like it, please review. :)

(No, it's not PMD. I know that I made it kind of seem like that.)
