Amber sighed and rolled onto her side. Light seeped in from behind her curtain. Suddenly the room was flooded with sunlight as Amber's mother threw open her door.
"Morning sweetie," Mrs. Setoya called in a sing-songy voice. She bustled over to the curtain and pulled it open.
"Mornin'" Amber groaned. She caught a glimpse of a much smaller figure appear in the opening of her door before it launched itself onto her bed.
"Oshawott!"
"Oof! Ow, Oshawott get off!" She gently pushed the water-type Pokémon off of her stomach and onto the side of her bed.
"Happy birthday, Amber!" Mother said cheerily. Amber sat up in bed and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. Naturally, Oshawott took this as a signal to climb into her lap.
"Oshawott!" He seemed pretty happy. Amber pet his head and picked him up as she slid off of her bed.
"Breakfast is waiting," Mother called as she strolled out of the room and down the stairs to the kitchen. Amber set Oshawott down and he waddled after Mrs. Setoya. She got out of her pajamas and hurriedly dressed in a lime green t-shirt and some jeans. Then she brushed her dark brown hair and put it into a ponytail. When she got to the kitchen, Oshawott was happily munching some Pokémon food will her mother set a plate of pancakes down on the table. Amber quickly took her seat.
"Mmm," She shoved a forkful in her mouth. The pancakes were delicious.
"Thanks, Mom," Amber said, finishing up breakfast.
"You're welcome," She smiled back and brought out three gift bags. Amber grinned back. She'd expected something for her birthday but she still couldn't wait to see what she had gotten.
"It's your fourteenth birthday," Mother explained. "I wanted to get you something special." She placed the bags on the table. "Open them up."
Amber took the first bag and parted the tissue paper. She pulled out a black baseball cap. Her grin got even wider. Mrs. Setoya knew how much she loved hats.
"Thanks so much!" Setting that bag down, Amber opened the next one. Inside were white and red circular objects. Pokéballs.
"Mom?" The fourteen year-old gave her mother a questioning look. Why would she give her such a gift?
"Open the last one, then I'll explain" Mrs. Setoya pointed to the remaining bag. Amber numbly put her hand in and pulled out something totally unexpected. It was a Pokédex. Not just any Pokédex, either. The newest model, the one being advertised all the time on T.V.
"I wanted you to think about training again," Mother said in a serious tone.
"I told you. I gave up on being a trainer," Amber looked away.
"Amber, it's been over three years. How long are you going to wait?" She paused then added; "Don't live with the past for your entire life."
"I'm not going to be a trainer!" Amber jumped up and slammed her chair into the table.
"Osha...?" Oshawott looked up from eating, confused at her change in tone.
"Don't you understand why?" Amber turned to Mrs. Setoya, tears streaming down her face. Then she rushed up to her room and threw herself onto her bed.
Why…
