Sasura sat there, starring into the night and letting her brown streaks blow in the wind. Her hazel brown eyes scanned the moon, annualizing it. Wondering what other planets did actually hold life. Her parents had often told her to get a life and come back down to earth, but she refused to listen. She would continue to block her ears until she had past her 10th birthday and if nothing happened then she had decided she would agree with her parents and stop star gazing every night. Sasura believed that if you believe then things will come true. Her parents had told her so many times about her grades and said they could be applied to other things as well, but when she had tried to ask them all she had got in reply was a 'Stop being ridicules'. Maybe, they wanted-
"Sasura, its bed time. NOW" her mother called from the back porch. "You should have been in bed an hour ago. I don't want you tired for class tomorrow." Sasura sighed, the problems with being home schooled. There were to many to count, but at least some didn't give homework! She slowly got up and went to her bedroom.
In the morning Sasura lay in bed thinking, she only had two more days until her birthday. Then she would find out. Now the thing her parent's thought that was ridicules was the fact that she believed in Pokémon. Now, she believed that people who were home schooled and wanted to be Pokémon trainer's professor Oak would send a package on their 10th birthday. Of course, it was just a theory, but hey! Every thing started with a theory, didn't it? After eating breakfast she helped clear up the table and went into the study room. She was wearing her 'school uniform', which consisted of a white shirt, all buttons done up, a black pair of tracksuit pants and white shoes and black headband. Her mum had a very black and white theme, though she didn't see the point in the uniform anyway. It was just Sasura and a couple of kids from down the road, very long road at that. Sasura lived on a farm, and of course it had to be a veggie farm. And, seeing as she hated asparagus, the main thing they grew was asparagus. So, here she was. Sitting in front of a desk with her mother teaching her and some other kids how to do anything times ten.
What seemed like centuries later…
"And that is all for today, have a nice weekend!" Sasura dashed from her seat to make sure no one went into her room. Some kids thought it was a joke to go into her room and take something and throw it in the trash. She managed to beat some kids up there and caught one of the boys successfully in her room. She kicked him down the stairs and went to check her calendar. Yep, tomorrow was the big day, the day she would become a Pokémon trainer, she was sure of it. Sasura wondered what Pokémon she would get. Hopefully a Bulbasaur, she had always liked them. They were cool as! But then there was Squirtle and it was pretty cute. All the younger girls loved Squirtle's. Charmander was pretty strong also and all the boys went 'Oh' and 'Ah' when they saw how it attacked on TV. There were also the ones from around the different regions, such as Turtwig, Chimchar, Piplup, Totodile and so on. Her favourite Pokémon changed a lot and she had no idea which one suited her personality right mostly because she had no idea what she herself was like. She had never bothered to find out, maybe she was a dreamer? But she wasn't up in the clouds all the time, was she?
"Dinner!" called Mum and she sighed and went down stairs.
"Tomorrows the big day, ay little squirt" Dad commented across the table. Sasura sighed.
"I'm not a little squirt dad, that would be Squirtle"
"Will you get over this Pokémon stage of yours, tomorrow if you don't get the so called package then you give up on it, okay?" demanded mum. Sasura sighed; her mum could be such a drag.
"Yes mum, I will follow your every command and be a lifeless zombie that walks around not knowing anything. May I be excused now?" she said sarcastically picking up her plate and leaving the table. Mum opened her mouth to say something when dad put his hand on hers and said something about dropping it. Sasura sighed again and walked back up to her room. I really don't see why they even wont me here. I mean, hello! Mum doesn't even like me. Sasura got ready for bed and lay down to sleep so that tomorrow would come faster.
In the morning Sasura dressed in her green, white and navy blue polo top with blue jeans and a pair of pink, dark blue and white sneakers. Around her neck she wore a big gold locket that swang around a lot and she slapped on a white cap and backpack. She then went downstairs and quickly ate breakfast, faster then the fastest man on earth. She walked into the lounge were her mum and dad were already waiting, leaving the backpack just outside the door. Sasura had about 3 presents there, probably one from mum, one from dad and one from her only other relative she knew, Uncle Fred. From Mum she got a bunch of sweets, from Dad a new photo frame and from Uncle Fred a little toy Pikachu in a tube thingy. She smiled happily but then realised that she had not gotten a parcel from professor Oak. But Sasura keep and believing and just as mum was about to make a smart comment the doorbell rang. Dad got up and answered it.
"Hello, does Sasura Uchiha live here?" Sasura heard a mans voice ask from the front door. Her father replied.
"Yes she does, would you like to see her?"
"No need, just give her this and tell her she can begin whenever. Sorry its not a starter and didn't get her sooner, she was in the bottom of my list. I will be in my lab if she has any questions." And with that he walked away, leaving a confused Dad and an exited Sasura. Dad walked back into the room with a medium parcel. Sasura ran up and took the parcel, dropped to the floor and quickly opened it. Her parents stared in wonder at the contents when they came spilling out. Inside were 6 pokeball's, one pokeball containing a Pokémon, a pokedex, a little electronic map and a letter. Sasura read out the letter.
"'To Sasura Uchiha,
I am sorry that I wasn't able to deliver this myself. I had lots of things to do on my list and I didn't have time to travel all the way to your house. I have supplied you with everything you need. Pokémon do not appear to mortals with no Pokémon unless they are with a trainer or are the parent of one. I hope you and Pokémon get along well and I hope to hear from you soon. Do remember that you can only have six Pokémon on you at a time.
Professor Oak.'
Whoa, this is awesome. I wonder who I got!" Her parents stared in shock, who would have thought that Pokémon were real? Sasura throw the pokeball with the Pokémon in it high into the air and it released the Pokémon in a flash of red light. Out of the pokeball came a little mouse Pokémon with black ears tips, tail and just under its head. Sasura gasped in delight.
"Yes! A Pichu!" Pichu blinked up at Sasura and tilted her head a litte before smiling and cheering.
"Pii pi chu chu!" Sasura smiled and picked Pichu up and put her on her shoulder. Pichu cheered some more, bouncing from shoulder to shoulder.
"Pichu! Pichu! Piiiichu!"
Sasura turned to her parents and smirked, her point was proven!
"See, they do exist! And now I get to go on a journey!" But Mum stood up.
"No. I wont let you go!" Sasura frowned at her mum; she was going to stop her now, just when she had her dream within grasp? No way! Not going to happen!
"Why not?" To Sasura's surprise, it was her dad who spoke up for her.
"Huh…?" both Sasura and her mum were in shock.
"Why can't she go? We can't hold onto her forever and you know that she's got to grow up sometime, why not now?"
"Because she's only 10! Shes only young! She can't survive on her own! I WON'T LET HER!"
"But," Dad reasoned "we left the protection of our homes early then she did, and we did fine, didn't we? And plus, she had Pichu with her." Pichu grinned at this and pulled the peace sign.
"Piichuu!"
"She'll be fine, and we can always get her to email us weekly, to check that she's ok. I trust her and Pichu, and if we give her a bike, she will be quick enough to avoid danger as well." Mum looked shocked at this.
"But… she's my baby girl, what if… what if she dies out there… what then, Sasuke?" Dad, Sasuke, pulled mum into a hug.
"It'll be ok, trust me. She'll be fine, Sakura." Sakura, formerly mum, nodded.
"O…okay, fine. If you say so." Sasura jumped and cheered, Pichu coping her actions.
"Yes! Yes!"
"Pi! Chu! Pi! Chu!" Sakura and Sasuke smiled at their daughter, still slightly weirded out by the fact that Pokémon really do exist.
When they were done cheering, Sasura turned to her parents, both herself and Pichu grinning evilly.
"So about that bike you mentioned…"
"Here we go!" Sasura grinned, mounted on her shiny new blue bike, Pichu on her shoulder and started down the road to… tooo… Sasura stopped again.
"Pichu?" Pichu sent her a questioning look. "Pi pi chu?"
"I forgot, where should we go first?" Both pulled a thoughtful face, thinking about it. Suddenly Sasura snapped her fingers.
"I've got it! We'll go to the nearest town and see our first Pokémon centre! I've never actually left the house before, so this is all new for me!"
"Piichu!"
"Yeah, its new for you too, so we'll explore together!"
"Pi pi!"
Soon Sasura and Pichu were cycling on the bumpy country road, chatting on and on.
"And then Jack went 'oh, but, it needs some food, that's all!' and we all burst out laughing, cause it actually needed to eat LESS food."
"Pi pi pi pi chu chu chu!"
"Hahaha- AWAAAAHHHH!" They both went sprawling all over the dusty ground.
"PIIICHU!" Sasura looked up to see Pichu still flying through the air towards a tree, only to hit a huge rock that was in-between the tree and the fallen over bike.
"Oh no, Pichu! Are you alright?"
"Piiiii" Pichu had swirls for eyes, momentarily knocked out.
"Pichu!" cried Sasura, grabbing Pichu. "Come on! You've got to wake up!" But Pichu lay still, still unconscious. Sasura started panicking, not knowing what to do. They were on the edge of a grass field with no building in sight.
"GAH! What to do? What to do?"
"Jol!" Sasura's head shot up at the new voice, great, just what she needed, a wild Pokémon to deal with.
It was a yellow, spiky, dog like Pokémon with white spikes around its collar. Sasura momentarily went into deep thought, trying to remember what it was from her cards.
"Um… Jol… jol…" the Pokémon blinked at her and cocked its head at her in confusion.
"Jooolteon?" It questioned her and Sasura snapped her fingers.
"A Jolteon, that's it!" Suddenly Jolteon walked up and nudged Pichu with its nose.
"Ack! Pichu! I forgot! Jolteon, can you help Pichu, please?" Jolteon nodded and started sparking up to give Pichu some electricity.
"Joooooooollll- TEON!"
"PICHU!" Pichu bolted up, wide awake, and looked around in confusion.
"Chuuuuu…?" Sasura smiled and hugged Pichu tightly.
"Oh, thank goodness your alright! Its all thanks to Jolteon that you're awake again!"
"Pichu! Pi chu chu!" Pichu jumped out of Sasura's arms and offered her tail to Jolteon.
"Jool!" Jolteon accepted and sparks flew, literally, in-between the two. Pichu then motioned for Jolteon to do something.
"Pi pi pi! Chu! Pichu!"
"Jooool. Jolteon! Jol jol jolteon!"
"Piichu!" Jolteon nodded, walked right up to the stunned Sasura and pressed the button to her pokeball and, in a flash of red light, disappeared into it. Sasura blinked, and blinked again as the pokeball locked into a capture, while Pichu jumped around cheering.
"Pichu! Pichu! Pi pi chu!" Sasura was still in shock and Pichu was getting worried. She walked around Sasura, trying to get a reaction, but got none and came to one solution.
"Piiiiiii- CHU!"
"ARGH!" Sasura was now on the ground, still smarting from the thunder shock. Pichu smiled and pulled the peace sign.
"Pichu!" Sasura sighed and pulled out a pokeball and held it out in front of her.
"Thanks, Pichu, return." A flash of red light and Pichu disappeared into the pokeball.
