It was starting to get light out. The first pink rays from the sun were starting to come out through the screen door in Kram's room and somehow the next day seemed eventful. I felt like something was going to happen tomorrow, something big. As if fate had something grand in store for me.
I had a sense at knowing these kinds of things, call it a sixth sense of sorts. It had happened when my dad died on that eventful night, as well as when my mom had to move because of work. As I stepped out onto the balcony that only he had access to, Murkrow were passing through the night sky, which would soon be filled with more of the beautiful pink light.. Typically seen as a sign of bad luck, I felt as it would bring good news to his otherwise eventful night. He walked back into his room, and dreading the anticipation of what was to come in the morning to come, I fell asleep.
"Sweetiee, come down here for a moment." My mom yelled to her son on the upper floor. Groggily, I got off his bed and yelled back with a "Cominng!" I then went to my closet off to the side of my new house. I hadn't really adjusted to the move yet, and I chose some random clothes from the luggage and put them on, not even paying attention to if I actually looked decent or like a neon freak show. He ran down the stairs and asked his mom, "What's up?"
"You know Riley right, your uncle?" his mom had asked. "Oh the gambler right, what about him?" Kram had asked his mom in reply. "Well, he sent a package for you and I think you might be interested in what's inside. Kram left it on the table." Oh, Kram knew that this was what was bugging him last night. It had to be, his uncle Riley, was currently at Iron Island for rehabilitation for his gambling problems, or so he says. We had keep on getting calls from tax collectors about him, so it's probably just that.
I went to the package and on top was a short letter. I read the letter before opening the package. It read as:
' You are now of age to go on a journey and explore Kanto here's a pokemon from my days visiting Celadon city. I also managed to pull a few strings and get you a pokedex, just stop by professor Oak's lab for it and show him the ID.
-Sincerely
Your uncle Riley Aura '
I opened the package and inside was a pokeball and a card. The card said my name, Tickim Aura, along with other general info like my age and birthday. The pokeball also contained a dratini who looked as if it were sleeping I wanted to go on a journey, but I didn't really want to leave my mom behind. I was afraid she would get lonely if I left. She also had this thing about thinking pokemon journeys are stupid. I never really got why.
Umm.. mom?" I said , with my mom replying with a quick hmm, "Can I go on a journey?"
