Where I come from, everyone, young and old, wants to be a Pokémon master. I am no exception to this rule. However, recently, our region has been introduced to something called Pokémon Contests. Now every girl and flamboyant boy wants to be a special trainer, one television calls a "coordinator". As soon as I heard about a contest hall opening in my hometown, I let out a huge sigh. Contests are for sissies. Nowadays new trainers are pretty much gender segregated. The girls want to be coordinators and the boys want to be trainers. This pisses me off in many ways.
Wasn't the twentieth century all about gender equality? Now girls can only do frilly displays while boys get to do masculine fights? It's just wrong.
But I have a secret.
In spite of these beliefs, I really do want to be a coordinator. Don't get me wrong, I do not want to give up on my training. I am first and foremost a Pokémon Trainer. I also have plans to breed Pokémon when I grow older. I just love Pokémon. Everyone sees me as this tomboy who runs around in the mud with her Quilava, and I like it that way. If anyone found out about my coordinator dreams, I would be ruined.
