BANG! Lightning clashed throughout the entire sky of Sinnoh. No one dared to leave their home as almost every bolt struck the ground. However, on a pokemon breeding farm, the two farm owners where still securing all their pokemon eggs into a better shelter than a wooden barn. As the heavy rain poured and lighting struck the farm around them, they where almost finished moving all the eggs. There was one last egg in the barn. When one of the owners began to run back to get it, he saw the barn was struck by a gigantic blue lighting blast, much different than the others. He quickly dashed to the half destroyed and burned barn. There was rubble everywhere, but he pushed it aside to see a yellow and black egg with blue electricity spark around it. The owner let a sign of relief as he grabbed it. He felt a slight tingle in his hands but ignored it and ran back to the shelter with the other eggs and stayed their for the night.
A loud beeping alarm rang as a plastic pidgey sprung out of the alarm clock and pecked the navy blue head of a sleeping boy. It hit him right in the temple and he sprung up rubbing his side. "Ugh... This is no way to wake up..." the navy-haired boy mumbled as he hit the sleep button on the alarm. He then turned his head towards the calender hanging on the wall beside his bed. His eyes widened as he realized what day it was.
Just then the navy-haired boy heard a door slam and the name "Barry!" being screamed by his mother downstairs. After some bickering he heard stomping on the steps and his door fly open with his name being shouted by his best friend. "LUCAS!" screamed Barry as he quickly saw that he was still in bed with his pajamas on. "What are you doing!? Today's the day! Now get up" Barry said restlessly. Lucas looked up and saw Barry was wearing his usual 'adventure' outfit. It was a white and orange striped shirt with the collar sticking out and gray pants. He also had tan shoes and a green scarf. "Alright, alright relax" Lucas said with his hand extended signaling that Barry needs to calm down a little. "Whatever, just meet me at the docks in 20 minutes or I'm fining you 5 million dollars!" Barry yelled as he slammed the door. Lucas then heard banging down the stair case and Barry yelling "OWWW!" but he just let out a sigh and ignored it.
Lucas let out a loud yawn and stretched his arms out as he was so used to Barry's attitude that it didn't effect his sleepiness at all. However, he knew he was right and forced himself out of bed. Lucas trucked towards his open closed to get changed. He took off his pajamas and replaced them with a blue shirt that had a wide white 'V' shape slicing through the middle, along with light blue jeans, and red sneakers. As accessories to his outfit, Lucas also wore a red scarf and a red hat with blue pokeball symbol on both its sides. When he was finished changing he looked at himself in his mirror and smirked. "This is gonna be an awesome day!" Lucas thought to himself.
Lucas walked downstairs and greeted his mother. "Hey Mom" Lucas said with a smile. "Good mourning Lucas, your friend Barry is a pretty sturdy kid" his mother replied with a giggle. Lucas couldn't help but let out a slight laugh as he though how stupid his friend could be sometimes. His mom then placed a plate of toast on the table beside Lucas. "Sorry I couldn't make something better, but you should be going. "Its alright" Lucas replied as he grabbed a slice and turned around to walk towards the door. As he walked he passed a large case filled with golden trophies with the name 'Johanna' inscribed on all of them. Lucas has always used him Moms contest trophies as encouragement to become a great trainer! He smiled as he grabbed his green backpack that was laying besides the door and turned around to yell one last goodbye to his mom.
The second Lucas stepped out of his door and smelled the fresh air of Twin Leaf town, someone grabbed his red scarf and dragged him over. "Finally!" the person said. Lucas knew it was Barry before he even spoke... "I thought you where waiting at the docks?" Lucas asked. "If I waited at the docks, you'd take an hour to get there!" Barry said as he dragged Lucas by his scarf. "Alright I get it" Lucas said with a sigh as he swatted Barry's hand away and walked beside him as they headed towards their destination.
When they walked about half way, they heard a loud honking noise coming from the docks. "That's gotta be the ship!" Barry exclaimed. "Yeah, we better hurry before it leaves without us!" Lucas announced as they both began to dash towards the pier. Even running at full speed, it looked like the two boys weren't going to make it. However they didn't give up and kept running. The ship was just about to pull out when one of the crew saw both Lucas and Barry running down the street towards the pier screaming "WAIT FOR US!" in union. The crew member blinked in confusion. When they got to the pier they stopped running and began to pant as sweat dripped from their faces. Lucas fell onto the ground, breathing even more heavily than Barry was. Once he caught he breath, Barry began to harass the crew member saying things like "How dare you leave without us!" and "I'm fining you for 10 million dollars!" The crew member still had a confused look on his face as he glanced at the two boys. "What are you looking at us like that for?!" Barry asked. "W-well..." The crew member stuttered "I'm just wondering what two kids are trying to get onto a cargo ship..." Both Lucas and Barry froze in slight embarrassment. There was an awkward silence until Barry broke it with "C-CARGO SHIP!?"
Lucas and Barry apologized for what happened. Well, more like Lucas apologized for both of them. Barry was still annoyed about the whole thing. The cargo ship left so Lucas and Barry just sat on a nearby bench waiting. "Heheh... Looks like we didn't miss the ship after all" Lucas said while still thinking about what happened. "Yeah... Wish it would get here already though" Barry said with a sigh...
Lucas shrugged "That guy said it would be here in about thirty minutes, so its not that long"
With that, the two boys sat and waiting for what seemed days to Barry as he constantly changed his sitting pose every two minutes. Lucas on the other hand just sat there with his head laid back on the bench. When suddenly, there was another honk noise. They both jumped up as they saw the ship docking onto the pier. Lucas and Barry jumped up in excitement. When the ship was set, it opened its doors and a long slope walk-way rolled out of it. A crew member came out and announced "Anyone attending Pokemon Academy please present your tickets and enter!" Lucas started to walk towards the man and Barry dashed over to him. They both showed him their tickets and he let them enter.
When they entered the ship it was actually kind of nice, for a ship anyway. It had cushion seating and there was a staircase that led to the top of the boat. That's where Barry went immediately. Lucas fallowed they both smelled the fresh air from the top of the ship. "This is gonna be Awesome!" Barry said while shaking with excitement. Lucas smiled and nodded in agreement. After about ten minutes, there was an announcement from the captain on the speaker. "We will now be leaving for Pokemon Academy!" Lucas and Barry both smirked as the ship started to leave the dock and headed into the blue ocean.
