If you are reading this book about my journey, then strap in. All of the following events are 100% truth. It all started back when I was graduating from trainer school in Jubilife city, or rather a week before Partner Day. For those who don't know Partner Day is an event for young trainers who paid to go to school get a different starter pokemon than those who got one gifted from the official league. A week prior to partner day is when we are told the type of the partner we will be receiving so that we can buy supplies for our journey. I remember it like it was yesterday. My teacher had just ended the lecture.
"...And that's how we resolved the war of 1996. Now I will be handing out the letters for your new partner's types for the ceremony next week, remember the only thing that will be provided will be the ball your partner comes in!" she said in an excited tone. She started to name all the students of the class. When she called my name I leaped from my chair and rushed to see who i would be taking my first steps into this world.
Holding the letter in my hands I slowly made my way back to my seat, I could only stare, for the excitement held me in place. I always wanted there to be a screw up and I get a dragon or ghost type, but the school deemed these types to be unruly. My father, Richard Galactus, always said "They just can't handle those types themselves, son, but back when your grandfather was in school he was given a dragon type partner." In the end I just never wanted it to be bug types.
Finally I get back to my seat and I open my letter: Water. A huge smile spreads across my face and fades just as fast as I realize I have no idea what supplies I will need for a Water type, well besides water, right? My mother will know, Pamela Galactus. She became a pokemon breeder so I worried for nothing as my smile returned.
Brrrrrrng! The bell rang and I ran out to meet up with my friends. I saw Lizzy first, she ran up to me screaming "Dark! Dark! I got Dark!" as her black hair bounced behind her, a giant grin on her face, she stops right in front of me jumping up and down. "I got Dark Jerry can you believe it?!" I started to jump up and down to mock her "OH M GEE NO WAY!" she stopped jumping, still with a huge grin, "What did you get?" she asked staring me down with her blue eyes, so close I could smell the makeup on her face. Taking a step back I replied "Water!"
Then we saw our other friend Vicktor walking up. His red hair combed to the side, he walked towards us expressionless. Lizzy and I turned to one another and said "Bug." He stopped in front of us and held up his card, and smiled "Read it and weep!" I looked and saw the word STEEL. He had his infamous smug look upon his face. He shoved his card into his back pocket and that's when we all heard the sound. The sound that makes your skin crawl. Brutus Wexler. "Bet you can't guess what I got?"
"We don't care Brutus" i exclaimed, immediately getting an elbow from Lizzy. I looked over to see she had a stern "be nice" face on her. I rolled my eyes back to Brutus. "What?"
"Bug!" he yelled proudly. Vicktor and I stifled our laughs when i heard the horn to my dad's car.
"Got to go guys, see you on Partner Day!" I said as I ran off.
