Volkner's Road to Glory – Chapter 1

The light is shining bright through the crack in my window curtains. I eased my eyes open and checked the clock sitting on my desk. I gasped, it was already twelve o' clock! I was in such a hurry I fell out of my bed onto the floor and scrambled my way to the bathroom. My hair was all over the place , my breath wasn't any better. I brushed my teeth and hair , then I got out some clothes and got dressed quickly. I looked like any normal kid around here besides my hair, I was wearing a blue hoodie with my yellow Pikachu shirt on and black skinny jeans. Now I bet you're asking , why am I in such a rush? I was supposed to get my first Pokemon at 9 o' clock but as you can tell I'm late for that. Finally dressed I made my way down stairs.

"Mom, where are you?" I yelled. No one answered me. I went to grab a drink before I left out and there on the fridge was a note.

It said:

"Hey Honey, I went out to the market to get some groceries. I'll be back around Two O' Clock. Good luck today Volkner, I'll miss you honey. Don't forget to call me on your Poke'Gear sometimes! Okay bye honey! –Mom."

"Ugh, thanks for waking me up Mom." I said walking out the door. I'm heading up to the gym here. My brother Zax runs the gym here in Sunnyshore City and one day I plan on running it! I made my way pass Cyrus' house and towards the gym. I hadn't seen Cyrus since he went on vacation, I wondered when he was coming back. I walked up the ramp and in front of the door was Zax talking to my friend Flint.

Flint and Zax turned to me. "Well if isn't little brother!" Zax said merrily, "Where've you been bro? You almost missed out on a Pokemon!"

"Mom left to go to the market and didn't wake me up." I whispered. I wasn't the loudest person in the world.

"Haha! That's just like Mom to forget something like that!" Zax responded, "Come on guys let's go in the gym I'll give you your Pokemon and supplies."

Flint looked over at me as we were walking. "What Pokemon do you think you're gonna get?" He asked me.

"I don't know but im hoping for a electric type! Maybe Pikachu or Magnemite!" I said being over excited, "What about you?"

"I really have started to like Fire-Types so I hope it's one of those." He told me while cracking a smile. Flint and I have been friends since we were in diapers, we always did everything together. Flint is about my height and short puffy red afro and he always loves to wear basketball jerseys and his baggy jeans.

"Alright guys here we are." Zax said to us. We were in a small room at the back of the gym, it had three shelves filled with Pokeballs and other items. Zax had two Pokeballs lying out on the table.

"Which one is mine?" I asked being impatient. Zax went and grabbed a Pokeball off the table.

"This one is yours" He told me, "Go on, let it out." I pressed the button on the middle of the Pokeball ,it opened and out came a small blue Shinx. I was so thrilled when I saw it. The exact thing I wanted a electric Pokemon like my big brother! I picked him up and looked at him.

I looked at him and said, "Im gonna name you Volt." He seemed to like that name as he smiled at me and I smiled back. On that day my road to glory began…
