Hello! This is my first story so there are probably several mistakes. I'm fairly new to writing and it would be helpful if any readers could point out any mistakes. Finally, italics represent thoughts.

"Mom, I hate cleaning my room!"

"Well your room isn't gonna clean itself. Get to it!"

"But it will just become a mess again."

"No buts, mister."

"Ugh, OK."

I'm Nathan. I'm just an average teenager living in this big world. I don't have a lot of money or many friends. I don't get exceptional grades in school. To be honest, life kinda sucks.

I wish something exciting would happen, I thought. All my friends are doing something with their families while I only have my mom. All she does is boss me around and tell me to clean this and that.

"Don't forget to vacuum," said my mom as she walked out of my room.

"I won't," I replied.

Now it's time to start cleaning.

I started by picking up some clothes which were piled up in a corner and putting them into a basket. I then started looking through a bunch of boxes containing tons of old toys. I sorted the toys into two piles, toys that I want to keep, and toys that I want to get rid of.

Hang on a minute, what's this?

I reached into one of the boxes only to pull out a Game Boy Advance!

Score!

I immediately checked what game it had in it. It was Pokémon Emerald!

Double score!

I've always loved Pokémon. It was always entertaining and never got boring. I could always pick it up and play for hours without end. I wasn't one of those people who could name every single Pokémon from every region in under minutes though. Only a maniac could do that.

A PokéManiac. Man, I hate myself for setting me up to think that.

Before deciding to turn the device on to see if it worked, I inspected it. The Game Boy was colored a nice shiny red with only few noticeable scratches and dents on its cover.

I sure hope there isn't any internal damage. Guess there's only one way to find out.

I flipped the switch.

Nothing.

Come on! Just my luck…

Suddenly, the device emitted an ear destroying ringing sound. Without any time to react, the world around me faded to black.

Hello again! This chapter was fairly short as I was writing this late at night. I'll try to post chapters daily as I currently have plenty of time to do so. Also, I'm looking for a good cover photo. If anyone could make one or find one, that would be very appreciated. It just has to have all Eeveelutions.
