The Journey of Dreams
The Journey of Dreams
A young man stands
in the shadows of the greatest pokemon masters of all time, no matter what...he
will do everything in his power to succeed.....
Ever
since I was four, Iv dreamed of becoming the world's best pokemon master.
My hero? Ash Ketchum, the greatest pokemon master of all time. Ever since
I got the news when I was four from my father, I dreamed of defeating him
in battle. Not a night passes by, where I dream of fighting Ash Ketchum.
It was not a hate, but more of a great honor. I was dieing to be able to
get a chance to fight the master of the elite four! Since then, I have
been studying pokemon every chance I got. Iv identified over 20 different
species that lives around my area. If you don't know, I live in Violet
City where the great gym leader, Falkner is located. I heard Falkner was
really hard with his Pidgeot! Many of my friends failed to defeat him so
far. I'm a bit scared if you ask me!
If you
like to know, today is my birthday! I turn ten today!! I'm so excited!!!
Iv asked my parents to get me a pikachu for my birthday to start my journey.
Pikachu's my hero too! He is the best pokemon ash ketchum ever had! I want
to be just like him! I peeked into the kitchen to see what mom was doing
and I saw her baking a delicious birthday cake!! Yum!! After viewing mother
was busy, I decided to run to find my pet ekans I keep in the backyard.
I ran outside and called ekans out of the hole he dug in the ground. Ekans
popped out and hissed at me happily.
"Ekannnsssss!!!" he greeted.
"Hiya Ekans..what an egg?"
I asked as I pulled a chicken egg out of my pocket. Ekans jumped out of
the hole immediately in glee. I gave him the egg and in a couple gulps,
he swallowed the whole thing down! I patted ekans on the head as it curled
up next to me in a coil like fashion.
"Keishi! Keishi dear! Come
inside!" called a sweet womans voice. I jumped up and pushed ekans back
into the hole so she wouldn't know about him. Ekans hissed loudly as it
fell down the hole head first! Oops!
"Comming mom!" I yelled
back. I quickly picked myself off the ground and ran towards her.
"Happy Birthday Keishi!"
my mother said as she hugged me. I went inside and looked around with her.
They decorated the place really nicely and some of my friends were over
at my house.
"You are finally old enough
to become a pokemon trainer Keishi! Congrats!" Ryu said to me as he punched
me slightly in the arm. His totodile cheered on his shoulders. Ryu loved
totodile a lot, he always kept him on his shoulders and took him every
where he went. He always made sure that Totodile never fell off by holding
on to his body. I smiled back at him and nodded.
"Hey Keishi! What pokemon
do you think you are going to get from Professor Elm?" Kao asked me as
he kept cyndaquil in his arms. Cyndaquil waved his arms up and down in
a cute fashion, probably saying happy birthday to me.
"I don't know..but Im defintly
not going to get a starter from Professor Elm," I replied with a slight
grin on my face. They all looked at me in astonishment. Chase hugged his
vulpix closer to him, wondering curiously what pokemon I was going to receive
as my first. While they were trying to figure out my first pokemon, my
mom came out with the cake and set it on the table. Everyone decided to
shake it off and sing happy birthday to me.
"Make a wish and blow out
the candles dear!" mother said happily to me.
"I wish I got a pikachu
for my first pokemon," I thought as I blew out the candles. Everyone clapped
and mom started to cut the cake. I waited for the gang to sit down and
eat, I didn't eat because, I was too anxious to get my first pokemon. How
did I know I was going to get a pokemon? Well that is all I have been asking
for since I just turned nine. Now that I'm ten, I know I have to get one!
My mother looked at me as I stared into space, imagening receiving a pikachu
in my arms. You see, we have two pikachus in the house actually. Yet my
parents use them to keep the murkrow and the pidgeys away from the crops.
So I couldn't bear asking them to give their pikachu's up just because,
I wanted one. I watched as Ryu fed Totodile some cake. The little water
gator got it all over his nose! Silly pokemon! I laughed to myself just
watching him. Kao made sure that he used a spoon and split the cake for
cyndaquil and him.
"Here you go little buddy!"
Kao said feeding him a little.
"CynDAQUILL!!!" Cyndaquil
yelled in an excited manner. Kao petted him on the head with a smile.
"Vulpix! Quit stepping all
over my plate! Ack! Don't lick me when you have frosting all over you!"
Chase shouted as Vulpix licked him in a grateful manner for the cake. I
laughed at them until mom came out with a gift. She looked at me and set
it softly in my lap. I looked at her and then looked back.
"Happy Birthday Honey.."
she whispered as she kissed my cheek. She looked at me softly, hoping I
would like it. I slowly started opening my gift as my friends crowded around
me. When I untied the bow, pulled off the wrapping paper, and opened the
box; I saw a yellow egg inside. I looked at it curiously, it had black
strips wrapped around it. I picked it up in a confused manner.
"What is it?" I asked in
a worried manner.
"That looks like a pokemon
egg!" Chase replied.
"A pokemon egg? Of what
pokemon?" I asked as I turned to mom.
"Sorry Keishi...we were
unable to capture a pikachu for you in Kanto, so we decided to breed our
pokemon instead," my mom said, worried I would be upset.
"So what is inside?" I asked,
still confused.
"Don't you see??? They bred
their pikachus together! You will receive a pichu no doubt," Chase explained.
"Will it evolve into a pikachu?"
I asked him.
"Of course! It just takes
time," Chase replied.
"WOW!! You got a pichu!
That rocks!" Kao said excited.
"Cool!! Looks like you got
your pikachu after all Keishi!" Ryu cheered.
I frowned
in a confused manner. I have a pichu...not a pikachu? What will happen
if he doesn't ever evolve into a pikachu? I bet I will never be able to
beat Ash Ketchum now. My mom looked at me with a bit of worry on her face.
"You don't like it? We are
so sorry.." my mom pouted. I looked to her and tried to put on a fake smile.
"Oh no no mom! I love it!
I'm really hap---" I said as I started to hear a crackling noise. The egg
started to move in my hands furiously as if something was going to come
out. Everyone quickly turned their attention to the egg. It fought back
and fourth for several minutes til it finally hatched. The top half snapped
off and the creature inside pushed it over with a sound as if it was disgusted
of being inside. I looked at it, it looked like a pikachu....in a way.
It was kind of small, with spade like ears that were rounded off in an
ever green color. It had the same cute reddish markings on its cheeks with
beautiful dark black eyes. It was all yellow, with a green marking that
went around its neck in a jagged manner and a short green tail. It
was kind of cute actually. It stared at me, wondering who I was.
"PICHUUUUUUUUUUU!!!" it
shouted as it spit in my face and ran off, frightened.
"WHAT THE HECK???" I yelled
as I wiped spit off my face. Everyone started laughing at me.
"Oh dear..." my mom replied.
"Pichu! Come back!" I yelled
as I pushed my friends out of the way and followed it. I quickly ran into
my room where I found it under my bed, hissing at me!!!
"Pichu..please come out.."
I pleaded. Pichu spit at me again and threw a toy in my face.
"Ow! Cut that out!" I yelled
as I rubbed my nose. Ryu walked right next to me and set down Totodile.
"Maybe if Totodile talked
to Pichu...Pichu will come out," Ryu said as he pointed towards under the
bed to Totodile. Totodile nodded and walked under the bed. It was only
a couple seconds later that totodile came flying out from under the bed
with X's that crossed his eyes. Ryu jumped from the burst of light that
came from under the bed.
"That must be Pichu's thundershock,"
Ryu replied,"My water is weak to electrics."
"Awww come on Pichu..why
aren't you comming out?" I asked him trying to stick my hand in softly.
Pichu bit it immediatly, but I didn't move out. No! I refuse to be scared
of my own pokemon! Even if Pichu shocks me to death or beats me up, I will
not let him get away with biting me. I grabbed Pichu by the tail immediatly
and dragged him out. I kept getting shocks that went through my body. I
yelped everytime he would shock me, but I refused to let go.
"GEEZUS KEISHI!! JUST LET
IT GO!" Ryu shouted, seeing his friend was getting hurt really badly. Finally
I pulled the little bugger out and flipped him upside down. Pichu tried
to bite me, but he couldn't pull up. He was angry it seemed at the way
I was treating him. I then pulled out a small collar and snapped it on
Pichu. Pichu groaned and sighed at the thought.
"There...now he can't run
away from me anymore," I said.
"A training collar? Are
you sure that is wise? That usually makes them revolt when they get out
of them," Ryu replied.
"Well its going to learn
to obey me some how.." I replied.
"You are taking this the
wrong way, pokemon are not just pets! You of all people should know that,"
Ryu explained in a concerned manner.
"Well I will keep it on
til I think its ready to respond to me..." I said as I petted Pichu. Pichu
didn't like it and tried to take the collar off.
"STOP IT!" I yelled. Pichu
stopped immediatly with a slight grump.
"It's your pokemon...but
just remember, Pokemon should be your friend, not your tools to fame,"
Ryu said, hoping it would get through my head. He then picked up Totodile
into his arms and walked out of my room. I looked at Pichu as he had an
angry face on him. I made it a bed that night, it refused to sleep in it.
I sighed and went to bed, hoping Pichu won't run away. I looked my door
and my window to make sure he wouldn't do so.
