Chance's Ambition

12/10/10

Dear whoever,

Famous people keep journals, right? I'm surly not a famous person. Nor am I anyone of importance. I am a boy. A teenage boy. Have you read enough to know me? Ignorant people would say so. A teenage boy that's filled with hormones that can't get his mind off of girls. That's what an ignorant person would be thinking at the moment. Are you still reading? Great, I can tell you more about myself. I'm 16 years old. I have dyed jet-black hair, and a mixture of green and brown eyes. My original hair color was blonde, but I didn't want to portray myself as an arrogant pretty boy. Do I have something against blonde people? I can agree that I am being stereotypical, but I have no reason not to be. Every blonde, or should I say, the only blonde I know is a complete idiot. He's my adopted brother named Bryce. Now you ask how my adopted brother is the only blonde person I know. My parents or at least one of them had to be blonde, correct? Well my father is blonde. Although he left on a business trip a few months after I was born and never came back. Guess he didn't want me. I have a skinny body. I have an average build. I'm not muscular...just normal. I'm not a body builder or anything so why should I need the extra bulk? My skin is slightly pale, but not so pale that people think I am ill.

I'm glad you're still reading. I really appreciate it. So what else can I tell you? I'm a Pokemon trainer. Not yet on a badge quest, but that will come soon, very soon. I own, or I like I say, I've befriended a little Vulpix. He's quite optimistic. He never once cried when he broke one of his paws. A tough cookie if you ask me. Raising a fire-type Pokemon isn't the easiest thing. If you asked me to roll up my sleeves you would see many burns, some worse than others. Most of the burns are from the time Vulpix was just learning how to use ember. He had little sneezes of fire that came spontaneously until he was able to control the flames by himself. I truly love my Vulpix. I suppose I consider him my best friend. I guess I would have to; there isn't anyone else in this town worth speaking to.

What is my goal in this life? I suppose I would like to become a Pokemon champion. It would give me the self-confidence that I believe myself to lack. Is it hard to believe that I am not confident about myself? From what you've read do I seem that arrogant that the statement you read earlier confused you? I believe self-confidence is a conspiracy. You shouldn't think so highly of yourself even if you know you can do something. Keep your expectations low so you don't get crushed in the end. That's what I've learned to do. Nearly all the men have attempted to go on a badge quest; and none of them have earned even 4 badges. Do you hate me? Or rather do you hate my personality? I don't have to change for anyone. This is my life, am I right? I don't ask anyone to change for me, and I expect likewise.

-Chance

I stared out my bedroom window at the sky. I've always thought of the sky as some sort of painting. Imperfection everywhere. The bold blue statement that is trying to be portrayed is destroyed by an insignificant, little, white cloud. Why is the unimportant little cloud allowed to ruin such a perfect day? I suppose we'll never know.

Today was the day. What day was it exactly? A Friday to be exact, but that's beside the point. Today I was going to begin my badge quest. My little Vulpix and I together in the world winning battles, or at least I would hope so. I made my way down stairs. Bryce was talking on the phone with someone, probably some girl he met. That's what he does all day. Without looking at him I sat on the couch.

"Where's mom?" I asked.

He almost glared at me, sliding the phone against his shoulder so whoever he was talking to couldn't hear him. "How the hell am I supposed to know? She isn't even my mom."

Lovely, the usual snarky reply I always get. I ignored it and got up.

"I'm leaving...don't know when I'll be back." This time I looked at Bryce. He had completely tuned me out, talking to the person on the phone. Get a life.

I grabbed my backpack and Vulpix's pokeball. Good bye good old' Faypine, I'm out of here. I walked out of the house and onto the dirt road leading out of town. I let Vulpix out of his pokeball; he let out a long yawn. I kneeled down to pet him.

"Sorry buddy, I know it's earlier than you normally get up... Listen, we're going to be away from mom and Bryce for a while." He looked up at me curiously. I smiled down at him. "We're going on an adventure. Don't worry, it'll be fun. Now let's go."

I began to walk down the road. Vulpix slowly began to follow trotting by my side. This was the beginning of my adventure.

Darcy's Point of View

I wore large black sunglasses that hid my face pretty well. My hair was down from its usual ponytail. I wonder how long I could keep this up. I was sitting on a bench next to Alex. He was struggling to read a map.

"What the hell is wrong with this thing? It's like it's in a different language!" He glared down at the funny looking map.

I just giggled. "Hun, I think you're reading that upside-down."

"Hm?" He turned the map right side up. "Oh..." he blushed a little bit out of embarrassment.

He knew I was in hiding. He knew I wanted to earn all the badges so I could really prove myself that I was worth this position. What he didn't know is what this position was. I wasn't planning on telling him any time soon. I wasn't going to tell anyone until the deed was done.

I gave my little Pichu, who was sitting on my lap, a little blue lollipop. She loved blue lollipops, no matter what flavor. Blue raspberry, bubblegum it didn't matter. I kept a stash of them in my backpack, so she could have one whenever she wanted. My Pichu smiled up at me and began to suckle on it. How cute... Too bad she wouldn't be doing a battle any time soon. I couldn't risk blowing my cover.

I looked over at Alex, who was still examining the map. I'm left with this question: Where the hell are we going?

I hope you liked this first chapter... Hopefully I'll acually write the rest of this one ^.^" Please review.
