Hello and welcome to my fanfiction that I've publish and rewritten a thousands times. I don't want to make this long so let the story begin~
...
The warm sun was rising. It's yellow-orange glow covered the cul-de-sac making it seem more pleasant than it really was. The air was unusually quiet because today was the day the kids were leaving to start their very own Pokemon adventure. Instead of running around in the streets they were inside, packing for the upcoming journey to the Sinnoh region. Everyone was making sure to pack extra for it was a long journey. From bus to plane and then to a ferry, where they would then land in Twinleaf Town. Though they were meant to meet up with Professor Rowan in Sandgem Town next door.
The trees were green and full of leaves, the birds were singing, and little critters were scavenging for food in the bushes and trees. They were soon interrupted though, as a boy with little hair carrying a piece of wood began rummaging the streets.
"They have to be here somewhere Plank!"
"..."
"You're right!"
The boy, known as Johnny, crouched under a nearby bench and pulled out a piece of bubblegum.
"We have to find all the pieces before we leave Plank."
And with that Johnny and Plank searched all over the Cul-de-sac, under benches and in trash cans for every last piece of gum.
…
Nazz and Kevin were sitting quietly on the fence by Rolf's farm. They were watching Rolf trying to close his overfilled suitcase. He jumped and stomped on it with no signs of giving up. They didn't think he could fit all that stuff in an old ragged bag that looked to be passed down from generations. Kevin offered to help, and Nazz suggested leaving some items behind, both of which Rolf just grunted and continued his work.
Just about when you think he'd stop, he would come back trying even harder than before. He eventually decided on tying to bag shut with a piece of rope.
Rolf sat down with Kevin and Nazz after saying goodbye to his animals.
Instead of talking to each about their upcoming journey they sat in silence and enjoying the quiet, knowing this will be the last time they'll see their home in a long time.
…
"Clothes?"
"Check!"
"Snacks?"
"Check!"
"Dollies?"
"Check!"
Sarah continued reading off her and Jimmy's checklist while Jimmy made sure they had everything they needed for their trip. He looked in his suitcase that was a pastel blue and covered in stickers of cute animals. He also made sure Sarah's suitcase was packed. It was pink and bedazzled on the front. She also had a small backpack that was a lighter pink.
After the last items were checked off the list they sat down and giggled, excited for what was to come.
"Do you think they'll have lots of cute Pokemon there Sarah?"
"Of course they will!"
Suddenly, a loud crash came from below, shaking the whole room.
Jimmy, now shaking with fear asked, "W-what was that Sarah?"
"It's probably just my idiot brother," she responded, hugging Jimmy to calm him down.
She slammed her fist on the floor shouting at her idiot brother to keep it down.
…
Sure enough, the noise was from Ed. Accidentally slamming his bed on his ceiling trying to pick it up. He grabbed some comic books that were hidden under his bed. His bed came back crashing down on the floor with Eddy on top of it, flat as a pancake. Eddy and Double D were with him, both packed and ready to go. Edd tidying up Ed's room insisting on leaving clean while they're gone, and Eddy impatiently waiting for their bus to arrive.
Eddy started screaming at Ed for slamming him into the ceiling, nobody noticing Sarah's shouting from above. Ed, being Ed, ignored Eddy and turned to Double D to ask:
"Do you think there will be a Pokemon that looks like Rolf's chickens Double D?"
Edd, who was sweeping the floor and coughing up dust answered him without looking up.
"I'm sure they'll be bird-like Pokemon," he moved on to dusting some shelves off.
…
Soon the kids stood outside their homes, making sure they packed all they needed and impatiently waited for the bus. Rolf could be seen dragging his overstuffed bag, the rope barely hanging on. It was silent, the only noise was the wind blowing through the trees and the occasional murmur among friends. They looked around, getting the last look of their home for a long while.
Things became totally silent when an engine could be heard in the distance. In unison, the kids looked in the direction of the noise. They saw the bus coming toward them. It looked new, it was white and blue and shiny. Not a single dent was on the surface. The kids cheered to themselves as they got on, most of them turning around to get a last glimpse of their home. The bus was completely empty. They all noticed the quality of the bus as they got on. The seats were soft and comfortable, small screens were set up with DVDs nearby, there was even a bathroom!
They sat with their usual friends. Johnny and Plank took a seat by the back, Johnny chewing gum from their stash. Jimmy and Sarah immediately took out some snacks and started watching some chick flick on their tv. Kevin, Nazz, and Rolf leaned back and talked to each other. Meanwhile, the Eds sat by themselves at the front of the bus, Ed took out a comic book about mole people next to Edd who was reading a book about Pokemon eggs. Eddy, who sat by the window, stared into space daydreaming about the amazing Pokemon trainer he was going to be.
The bus started moving, at this point, the kids became distracted from the excitement of their adventure, but the more thoughtful ones, like Double D, took one final look at the cul-de-sac getting smaller and smaller in the distance.
…
The bus ride moved along slowly. Other people came on and got off. Two hours already went by and Jimmy and Sarah were sobbing over their movie. The bus emptied out, the kids perked up when they realized there was only one more stop they had to make before they arrived at the airport. The slowed down and eventually stopped, the driver opened the doors for a single passenger. The kids looked up to see a girl smiling in front of them.

Don't worry, this time I have a buffer. So the next chapter will come out soon. But I hoped you enjoyed this one!
