I woke up to the sun shining through my window. I yawned and stretched my arms sleepily.
"Uuugghh, I couldn't have a window pointed to the west, could I?"I growled to myself groggily. I'm really not a morning person. I scratched my head as I stood up, then dragged my lazy rear downstairs, grabbing my goggles and slipping them on my forehead as I did so. I walked into the kitchen, following the scent of bacon, my favorite breakfast food. I sat down at the table and let my head bang on it, trying to go back to sleep. Like I said, I'm REALLY not a morning person. Mom was at the stove, cooking our breakfast.
"Good morning, Sunshine,"she said jokingly, to which I just mumbled a greeting. She rolled her eyes and walked up to the table putting my plate next to my head, whistling a tune. She loved mornings, always saying how they were the start of a brand new, glorious day. How the frick was she my mother?
I heard something small land on the table and then felt a small tap on my head. I smiled slightly as I looked up and into my little friend's red eyes, a smile on the little creature's blue and black face. In case you can't figure it out, the creature I'm talking about is a Riolu. About a year ago, I had found the little guy when I was walking through the woods, all by himself. As you can guess, I felt sorry for the little guy and decided to bring him home with me. Fortunately, Mom didn't object. I gave him the nickname Anubis. Pretty appropriate, considering what his evolved form looked like. I patted his little blue head a bit before sitting up, ruffling my own black hair.
"Why does it take you so long to wake up?"he asked me. Yes, I understood him. No, he couldn't speak English, but I could understand him. It was a unique ability I've had for as long as I can remember. I have the ability to understand Pokemon. Cool, huh? Back to the matter at hand, I shrugged at his question."Maybe you should drink some of that coffee stuff."
"Uh huh, and get the same caffeine rush you did when you tried some of it?"I asked, raising an eyebrow."No thanks."Yyyyeah, see, he had gotten ahold of some of Mom's coffee one day. He was LITERALLY bouncing of the walls for a week! He scratched the back of his neck nervously at the memory.
"It's not my fault you didn't tell me it would affect me like that,"he muttered with a frown. Mom noticed us conversing.
"And what is little Anubis saying to you, son?"she asked curiously. Yes, she knew about my ability. Actually, everybody in Twinleaf town knew. It's not like this place was a humongous, bustling city like Hearthome. News travelled fast here. You wouldn't believe the crap I went through to prove it to them, though.
"We were just talking about when Anubis drank some of your coffee,"I told her. She gave me a bit of an annoyed look.
"Now, you shouldn't be scolding him about that,"she said, then started petting his head. He smiled widely at the affection."He had no way of knowing that it would drive him up the walls. You should've been watching him more carefully."
"Told ya,"Anubis said, smirking at me. I gave him an annoyed glare, which was stopped when Mom gave me a glare of her own. I sighed in defeat and ate my breakfast silently. Why could I never win an argument? I can always solve someone else's, but I can't win an argument to save my life! When I was done, I stood up, Anubis hopping on my shoulder. I walked into the living room and slipped on my sneakers.
"I'm headin' out, Mom! Be back later!"I shouted.
"Be careful!"she shouted back. I walked out of the house and closed the door behind me. Thanks to my goggles being shaded, I didn't have to worry about the glare of the sun. I started towards the woods. I don't know why, but coming into the woods always seemed to fill me with a mysterious feeling. Like the forest was somehow drawing me to it. Fortunately, I knew this place better than anyone, so there was no chance of getting lost. I hiked through the forest, admiring the beauty of nature and listening to the Kricketot chirping.
"Sure is peaceful, eh, Anubis?"I asked the little blue fighter. He opened his mouth to respond, but was cut off by a large booming sound coming from deeper into the woods.
"Er, no,"he muttered..
"Aw, what now?"I asked myself angrily, running towards the sound. I had no idea whatsoever that I was running to the beginning of an adventure I would never forget.
My name is Ken Woods, and this is my story of how I saved the Pokemon world.
