The distant sound of faint speaking disturbed my slumber. What a bother. I should probably get up and see what that chatter was about. Ugh, that's right. I was supposed to run an errand for my neighbor today. That's probably what all the chitchat is about. Not quite sure though because the mention of a dangerous Pokémon caught me off guard. I should go see what it's about. I feel so sleepy. The drowsiness made my eyes heavy and unable to open. Just a few more minutes.
Slowly those voices became an array of distorted sound I could no longer make out. My soft warm sheets became cozier and engulfed me the way you eat your favorite dessert; slowly attempting to savior the flavor then quickly to hurry up and taste more. What is this? I have to get up soon. I'm needed, I have to do my neighbor a favor. Finally, everything went black. I couldn't find myself anymore trying to make out that indistinctive conversation.
Opening my eyes I was overwhelmed by the picture of snow rapidly flying by me. Down below was a valley decorated with an abundance of green vegetation as opposed to the dead cold trees surrounding me. What is this place? The rough numbing bites of frost hit my shoulders making me shake rapidly as my teeth clattered nonstop. Up above I saw the back of a man no more than a year or two older than me. He paid no attention to my sniffling struggle while I made my way up towards him. My feet sinking into the soft frigid ground that made them heavier and heavier with each passing step. I have no idea who this man is, but I know he's very important and I must speak to him.
"Stop! You don't have to do this."
"Come back down. I need you now more than ever. If you do this…"
"I just need you, I can't risk losing you."
"…please." Rambled on a voice that made my heart flutter and ache. Turning around I saw the dark shape of another individual. The continuous howling of the wind tuned out my ears making me unable to make out what this other person was shouting at me. My eyes became fixated on them as my vision attempted to focus. Before I could make out the appearance everything began to fade away.
"Dear, are you up yet? Mother called out forcing my eyes to open and stare right at the empty table across my bed that had been begging to hold things for months ever since it was brought in.
"…yeah. Can you tell me what time it is…?"
"Lonny, it's a quarter before noon."
"What?! Yikes! I over slept!" I screamed as I jumped out of bed and rushed to my closet tearing off my pajamas and quickly putting on shorts and a blouse. How is this possible? I only had my eyes closed for maybe thirty minutes at most. The time was a few minutes after eight earlier. Oh darn. I wanted to finish this errand early so I could lounge around and watch tv all day. I hastily brushed my teeth and didn't even get the toothpaste residue out of my mouth as it lingered while I attempted to lick it off the sides of my lips. Upon leaving my room I was greeted by our other neighbor who casually waved hello without pausing her conversation with my mother.
"You're finally up! Our neighbor Prof. Elm came at the crack of dawn for you. I told him I would send you over right after you got up."
"Oh, I thought I heard someone speaking earlier." I responded annoyed that I've left my neighbor to wait a few hours before I got up.
"Make your way to the lab next door." She suggested as she signaled me out the door. Before I even touched the door knob she stopped me.
"I almost forgot, your Pokégear is finally back from the repair shop."
"Don't forget to set the date and the correct time."
"You know how to use this, right?"
"Don't you just turn on the Pokégear and select what you want to do?"
"It's convenient." Mother blabbered on and on. I was happy when she stopped and I ran out the door before she could stop me with anything else.
The cool crisp air brushed upon me while the sun graciously shined down on me. Pidgey cooed in harmony as they flew by in the same direction. I could tell today was going to be a great day. It was so beautiful outside, I wonder what I could possibly do after this errand. Maybe read a book outside until Ledyba come sit in our garden to watch me. Maybe sunbathed and get some color on my skin and wait for Bellsprout to come out and join me. Or maybe grill some food outside and feed the Pidgey that stop by for some snacks.
My daydream was interrupted when I caught a glimpse of a figure on the side of the lab. By the trees of a window on the side of the building I saw a young man around the same age as me with long red hair. He caught a glimpse of me staring and gave me a disgusted look then continued peeking inside the window.
"Um, excuse me." I began reaching my hand out to him to see what was wrong.
"So…This is the famous Prof. Elm's lab. What? What do you want?" began a voice so low turning into rage that startled me as he flashed me a dirty look with his menacing red eyes.
"Oh, I'm so sorry." I replied weakly terrified that I was going to be harmed. I quickly turned my back and attempted to take off only to be shoved to the ground. Luckily, I had been able to extend my arms out and use that to break my fall. Tears hastily formed in my eyes as I continued to lay on the ground while I wiped them away. What is his problem? Creeping on the Prof. then pushing me when I leave him alone. I feared to look back at him feeling like he would be laughing at me when I stood up shaking. Oh darn. This has made me anxious. I should leave right away. I lurched forward and ran immediately inside feeling as if the doorknob was a twig because I swear it almost snapped off when I turned it.
"Hello Lonny! We've been waiting for you." Greeted me a joyful voice.
