I feel like screaming! This lecture is so boring! I have been listening to this stupid
scientist rambling on about pokemon relationships with humans for the last hour or so,
and I'm almost falling asleep. I would rather be training pokemon, I'd like to be a
trainer someday. My mother is the pokemon Professor in our town, Starshine Town.
She's meant to be going to a special meeting in just under a week, but it looks like she
won't be going anymore. She's very sick at the moment, I should've stayed home
today to look after her, but she promised she'd be fine by herself. It's nothing serious,
just the flu. I can't stand this anymore!
'And so you see, it is very important to....' The scientist was saying. But then I stood
up and he stopped to look at me.
'Sit down please.' He told me. I didn't reply, I just walked over to the door, I hated
being told what to do.
'I'm outta here.' I mumbled to myself.
'MELANIE?!' My teacher called as I ran out the door. Haha! Freedom at last! I
stopped at the large double doors that were the school entrance doors. I pushed the
doors open quietly and walked outside. The sun shone merrily out here and it felt like a
totally new day. The sun shining in my face as I walked down the road towards home
was quite nice as it was a bit colder in the school rooms. It wasn't far to my house
from school, I walked there and back everyday going to and from school. I reached my
house in good timing, it was almost midday, time for lunch! My house wasn't big, only
me and my mother lived there. I was an only child and my father left my mother a long
time ago.
'I'm back!' I called as I swung the door open.
'Is that you Melanie? You should be at school.' My mother called back. I walked
down the hall to her room, she was still rugged up in bed, covered with many blankets.
'They let me go early. I told them you were sick.' I lied. She thought my education
was very important and she didn't like me missing school.
'You shouldn't of said anything.' She said, 'You know I'm fine by myself.'
'I know.' I replied, 'I guess you won't be going to the meeting at the Pokemon League
then?' I asked.
'Actually.....' She started.
'You can't be serious?' I asked excitedly, 'You mean I get my own pokemon?'
'Just remember why you're doing this. You're going to the meeting to represent me,
not to train pokemon.' My mother reminded me, 'If you still want to be a trainer, wait
until you've been to the meeting.' I smiled broadly.
'I will, I will. So when can I go get my pokemon?' I asked happily.
'Well I've aranged it with Professor May so you can go down there today.' My mother
informed me. I groaned.
'Not that old....' I started.
'Now, now. I want you to be nice to her okay? I know you don't like her, but just be
polite.' My mum said, cutting me off, 'You can go at 2 o'clock.'
'Alright!' I cheered.
'But remember to come back here first, you need to pack a few things.' Mother said. I
couldn't believe my luck! I was going to get my very first pokemon! Then I realised
something, what pokemon would there be for me to get? I asked my mother this.
'I'm not sure, Professor May said she'd organise it all for me.' She replied.
'I bet she gives me a Magikarp or something.' I grumbled, she didn't like me or mother
much. My mum was a famous pokemon professor and she was always jealous of her. I
guess I would just find out when I got there. I was going to be a pokemon trainer!
