Neo's Adventure
PG-13
By Will
Part 1
Neo sat on the Pallet beach.
The hot sun shone down on him like an oven heater on a strip of bacon.
He pulled his black sunglasses over his eyes.
All of a sudden, he heard someone shout his name.
"Neo!"
He recognized the voice, it was his best friend Sean.
Sean had been neo's best friend ever since they were in Kindergarden. Sean was as tall as Neo was, about 5"3 and had blonde hair and blue eyes.
Neo stood up to meet Sean.
"What is it Sean?" He asked.
"Here." Sean said. IN his hand was a brown folder with Neo's name printed in bold.
"Oh my god." Neo said. "It's from Professor Oak's laboratory."
Sean held up his.
"I got one to."
"What do they say?"
"I don't know Neo I didn't look."
Neo ripped open the brown envelope and pulled out a letter.
He read it through, reading words like:
Neo Snow, Pokémon League, Training, Professor Oak's Assistants, but most of all, accepted!
"Yes!" Neo yelled as he pulled out a credit card sized i.d. card.
On it was a picture oh him, and beside it, it said:
Trainers Name: Neo Snow
Age: 13
Hometown: Pallet Town, Indigo Island
Date of Birth: 6/1/86
"I'm accepted!" Neo yelled, holding up the trainer card.
"Me to!" Sean yelled.
"This is great."
Neo pulled out another piece of paper from the folder.
He read it aloud:
Dear Neo,
I am pleased to inform you, that you have been accepted into the Pokémon league.
You are to attend the meeting tonight at the Pallet Town pokémon laboratory tonight at 7:00 sharp, to chose your own pokémon.
-Professor Oak's Assistants.
"Awesome." Neo said.
"I got one to." Sean said.
"This is so cool."
*****
Neo and Sean walked towards the Pallet Pokémon laboratory.
Neo glanced at his watch, 6:09 p.m.
"So Neo," Sean began. "What pokémon are you going to choose?"
Neo shrugged.
"I don't really know. But I was actually kind of hoping to get a Bulbasaur, that'll help me in the Pewter city gym." Neo replied.
"What about you Sean?"
"I think I'm going to go with a Squirtle." Said Sean. "I've always wanted a Water pokémon."
Once Neo and Sean reached the Lab, there were only five out of the thirteen other new trainers there.
Fifteen in all.
Neo and Sean saw a large round table, with a glass covering on it.
"What's that?" Sean asked.
Neo and Sean walked up to it.
Inside were three pokéballs.
On the first one it had a small flame on it. The second was a water droplet and the third had a small tree symbol.
"I can't believe one of those pokémon in there is actually going to be mine." Neo said.
"Me neither."
All of a sudden, a tall man stood up at the podium.
By now everyone was here.
The man began his speech:
"We welcome tonight, fifteen of Pallet's finest. Who will begin their pokémon training the moment they step up to the stage."
Then, another man, shorter than the first came out with a hat.
"Each one of the new pokémon trainers has their name in the hat, we will pull them out one at a time, when you hear your name, you can get your very first pokémon." He said.
He put his hand in the hat and pulled a name out.
"Gerald Robinson!" He yelled.
A kid, taller than Neo and Sean came up.
"What pokémon would you like Gerald?"
"I would like a squirtle." He replied.
The man handed him a pokéball with a water droplet on it.
"Good luck Gerald." He said.
Everyone applauded.
Three more people went up before it was Neo's turn, the second one had chosen a Bulbasaur, the third a Squirtle and the fourth a Squirtle also.
"Neo Snow!" The man yelled.
Neo smiled as he ran up the steps and got on stage.
"Neo, what pokémon would you like?" He asked.
It was true, Neo didn't know witch pokémon he wanted. But he soon rested on a decision.
"Bulbasaur." He replied.
Then, the man took the pokeball with the tree symbol and handed it to Neo.
Neo smiled and looked at the red and white softball sized ball.
"Yes." He said under his breath.
Sean was the second to last person to be called up on stage.
They had run out of Squirtle the kid before. So He was satisfied with a Charmander.
Both Neo and Sean both accepted their pokédex's.
It was 9:15 when the part ended.
Neo and Sean walked out of the lab to see their parents waiting there.
Once Neo got home that night, he changed into his pajamas and grabbed the pokéball.
He replaced the tree sticker on the ball, with a symbol. It was a blue circle with a yellow star in the middle.
He put it on so he'd know they were his.
Neo put the pokéball on his bedside table and slowly fell asleep.
*****
The next Morning Neo woke at around 8:00 a.m.
He immediately got dressed and grabbed his backpack.
Neo ran downstairs to see his mother and Sean sitting at the table.
"Hey Neo." Sean said.
"Hi mom, Hi Sean." Neo replied.
"You ready to go?" Neo asked.
"Yeah I guess so." Sean replied.
"Have some breakfast first Neo." His mom said.
"Okay mom." Neo said.
Neo sat down in a seat, while his mother slipped in a plate of bacon and toast.
Once Neo and Sean were finished eating, they grabbed their stuff and got on their bikes. Then they rode out towards Viridian City.
