Well, this is my first fanfic, and pretty much first time I ever write too, so there's probably huge fuck ups everywhere, to do with the story and grammar ;o I don't even know if I'm uploading this right. Oh well. Lol. Reviews would be awesome please.
"Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" The alarm clock goes off. "No way." Alex mumbles and lays in silence for a moment "It can't already be 8." He looks up. "It is..." with the alarm clock still going, he lazily extends his arm to turn the thing off." Why the hell did I have to stay up tell 2?" Alex thought to himself regretting playing videogames late last night. "Oh well." He uncovers himself exposing his body, only covered with briefs and stands up off his bed, itching his short brown hair. He walks up to his dresser opening the drawers and picks some random clothing out, some jeans and a blue shirt with a few white lines across it. "Good enough I guess" he thinks. Still not adjusted to the light he decides to open his curtains, slowly to not hurt his eyes.
While opening the curtains he notices some blue blob of color near the side of it so he opens it faster to see what it was. Maybe a little too fast, he blinded himself temporarily from the light. By the time his eyes adjusts to the light whatever there was gone. "Damn, I'm probably just imagining things" he thought.
Alex routinely makes his way to the kitchen. He notices his dad Frank already done with breakfast reading a newspaper at the table.
"Hey dad" he says while retrieving his basic wheat cereal and milk.
"Morning, lad". Frank says with a smile. Breakfast typically turns into the awkward silence it all ways is at this point.
Frank breaks the silence 5 minutes later when Alex is almost finished with his bowl. "Hey son"
"Yeah, dad?"
"It has only been a week and a half into your summer vacation, yet you seem to be up to nothing still."
Alex is silent for a moment, but responds. "Yeah, and?"
"...And I think you should do something." Frank responds.
"Well, I'm going to Darren's later today."
"No, no. I don't mean just today. I mean hobby wise, what are you going to do this summer?"
Alex thinks to himself for a moment. "You know dad, I really haven't thought of that."
"Well, you're 17, and I'd hate to do this to you kiddo, but if you don't find something soon I'm going to find you a job."
Alex's eyes open wide. "But I already do so many chores for you man, that's not a job enough?"
"Well, Alex, I just don't want you to waste a full summer."
"I'll find something, dad." Alex sighs. "But right now I'm gonna head out"
"All right then, I'll see you later then, son. And at least look for something"
"Okay dad, I will" Alex says with a smile and walks out to the door. "I love you dad!" He says cheerfully, as he does every day.
"I love you too son" With Franks usual response.
As Alex makes his way down his drive way he notices what a beautiful day it is out, the sun is shining, there aren't many clouds in the sky, the air has a lovely aroma of flowers from his dads garden. He thinks to himself "There is really no way I'm going to Darren's and be cooked up all day playing video games". So instead on the way to his house he walks to a different path to the lake to just chill out for a bit. Along the way all he hears is birds singing, and a few bugs chippering, but along the way he heard some rustles in the bushes, which stopped almost as fast as it begun. Alex stopped in his tracks. "I never heard of this trail having any Pokémon in it" he thinks. "What if it's some sort of scary boar like thing?" Hesitant but curious, Alex walks up to the piece of bush that was acting funky and looks closer, Nothing was there. "Damn, another weird thing happening today, odd." But by his nature he thinks nothing of it and carries on along his path to the lake.
Finally arriving to the lake, tired from his travels Alex looks for a nice spot to rest. He instantly spots a tree giving off some shade from the increasingly hot sun. "Perfect" he thinks with a smile. He sits down by the tree in the shade just gazing at the lake. Alex could see the beauty that was in front of him, and knew that if he brought along Darren he would have gotten bored fast and they would have to leave to do something more entertaining (like in Darren's mind, videogames). Alex almost meditating with what he finds perfect harmony with the scene around him finds himself falling asleep at the spot because of the short night before. "Well, a small nap won't hurt before I head back to Darren's." Alex quickly falls asleep.
Around 30 minutes later Alex starts to wake up. He looks along the distance with blurry eyes from just waking up still in his perfect peace and rubs them clean. He looks to the right about to get up and instantly sees something that's about to give him a heart attack, a blue monster. But he recognizes it, It's the same thing that was in front of his window, and probably in the bushes from earlier. Shocked Alex jumped up.
"Whoa, what the hell?" He shouts.
The beast looks at him also with wide eyes "Please, stay calm."
Alex even more freaked out now "How the hell do you talk without even moving your mouth?"
"Telepathy."
Alex sighs with relief. "Oh, then you're just a Pokémon then?"
"Correct"
"Well that doesn't give you any right at all you creep up on me all day, what is your problem?"
"You reminded me of my master" The beast says lowering its ears a little.
"Then why don't you just creep on him instead?" Alex is still uneasy.
The Pokémon lowers its ears even more. "He... is gone now, you looked a lot like him so I wanted to say something but I didn't know how to approach you."
"Oh..." Alex changes his mood almost completely now "Would it help if we talked about it?"
The expression on the Pokémon's face changes to a guilty look "No, I shouldn't have approached you, I should leave."
Alex now sympathetic for the beast "No, no it's fine, I'm not really doing anything anyway, we can talk a bit if you'd like."
The Pokémon showed a smile "thanks" and sits next to the boy.
"So, what are you anyway?" Alex asks.
The beast responds "I'm a lucario."
"A lucario? I never heard of that one... Sorry for acting so scared at the sight, I never paid much attention to Pokémon."
Lucario laughs "Heh, I can see that being rather scary then."
Alex shares a small laugh "So, you got a name?"
"Yes, Steel."
"Steel? Your trainer give you that?"
Steel smirks "Yes, he wasn't too imaginative, and you?"
"I'm Alex." Alex extends his hand for a handshake, Steel accepts. Alex thinks back to the morning were his dad said he had to find a hobby "You know, if you really have nothing going on to the point where you stalk people, you wanna just hang out with me?"
"Like, be my new trainer?"
"Yes, I guess in a official way of sounding." Alex smiles in anticipation.
Steels ears perk up "Yes! I would love too!"
"Great!" Alex pauses for a moment. "Let's go back home and get prepared then, I want to catch something today" he says cheerfully.
Not too bad, was it? Let me know. I wanna be the very best. 3
