This is my first attempt at writing a Pokefic. My other two stories were for Wicked, so please don't murder me if it's all wrong. Reviews would be lovely, but please use constructive criticism.
"Mom! Mom! Momma! HEY!" Jenny bounced up and down on her mother's bed for the first time in what seemed like ages. It really was fun, and she didn't know why she had ever stopped in the first place. It was almost liberating.
Her mother groaned and sat up, her normally immaculate brown locks thoroughly tangled. To Jenny, it rather seemed like a Rattata's nest. Scratching her head and mumbling some sort of nonsense, her mother looked over at the alarm clock on the bedside table.
"What on earth were you thinking Jenny?" Her mother cried, "Do you have any idea what time it is?" She fixated Jenny with a glare that, in Jenny's mind, foretold certain doom.
"Well… yes." Jenny mumbled, "It's 4:32." She jumped off the bed sheepishly, then turned to face her mother.
"Then why did you wake up me up? This is…" She trailed off at Jenny's heart-broken look. Even through the darkness, she looked too much like a kicked Growlithe for her mother to remain angry for long. "What do you want?" She sighed.
Jenny's former excitement returned immediately. "It's trainer day! It's trainer day! We have to get to Professor Oak's lab fast! Fast! Fast!"
Her mother groaned inwardly. She should've seen this coming. Jenny had been chattering for months about it, too on edge to think of anything except what her starter would be. Was it really here already?
"Jenny, it doesn't start for another five hours. We've got plenty of time." She sat up in bed and peered at her excitable daughter again. With surprise, she noted that Jenny was already in the blue and white 'trainer' ensemble that they had picked out a week ago for this occasion. It really was adorable, and the cute little hat complimented Jenny's short black hair. Her mother chuckled quietly.
"What are you laughing about?" Jenny demanded shrilly. "We have to get there soon so that I can get my adorable little Jigglypuff!" She folded her arms and took what she thought was a reasonably confident pose.
Her mother blinked. "Jigglypuff…?" What on earth was her daughter on about now?
Jenny nodded sagely. "Jigglypuff. It's my cute new starter pokemon that I chose extra special just for me."
For the second time in five minutes, her mother groaned. "Jenny…" she started gently, "You have to pick from Squirtle, Charmander, or Bulbasaur. You knew that didn't you?"
Jenny's face fell again. "But…. I wanted a Jigglypuff…."
Her mother frowned. "Well, maybe later on in your trainer journey, if you can catch one, you can have it, but the league rules state that you can only start with one of those three in our region."
"BUT I WANT ONE NOW!" Jenny screamed. Her mother, taken aback, could see only one course of action. She leapt at the idea before she had a chance to think about it.
"Well, we'll just have to ask Professor Oak, now won't we?" she said. Jenny's shiny blue eyes widened, and her mother immediately realized her mistake.
Five minutes later, Jenny was dragging her sleep-deprived mother, clad only in pajamas, down the road to Pallet Town.
And an hour and a half later, at six o'clock in the morning, a just as sleepy looking Professor Oak unlocked the doors to his lab, and unwittingly released a little blue and white tornado upon the building.
Remember, reviews are like kittens! Everybody wants one! Tell me what you think.
P.S. Not all the chapters will be this short. If you like it, then you can usually expect a 2,000 word chapter.
