Aw yeah, my first fanfic. :D

Please tell me what you think! I'm new to this… D;

Enjoy, everyone~

It usually didn't take much for Joey to wake up.

But today, he just didn't want to get up.

Today, of all days, was the day. The day that Joey could go on his adventure and become the greatest trainer ever. It was the very day he lived for, and now… it was being taken away from him.

"Just my luck," he muttered, ignoring his father's calls downstairs.

"Joseph! Please, come down here!"

Joey shut his eyes as tightly as he possibly could, covering himself with his blanket and curling into a ball. It seemed like he waited a million years when he finally heard his father's voice again.

"Fine, if you won't come down, I'm comin' up!"

Joey held back a sigh, squeezing his shut eyes even more. When the door opened, he braced himself for what would come next. His father threw the covers off of Joey and shook him awake. Joey quickly opened his eyes, his vision blurred and black spots everywhere. He turned his head towards his father's and blinked innocently up at him. His father sighed, and handed him a small red and white ball.

"Take it, alright? Just…" he sighed, and shrugged slightly. "Take care of him… and have fun…"

Joey stared up at his father stupidly, waiting for his dad to laugh and yell, "Jay-kay, jay-kay!" But, it didn't come. His eyes slid down to gaze at the Pokéball. He was just about to press the button on the center when his father stopped him.

"Uh, how about you wait until you're outside?" he suggested, a bit of a nervous look on his face.

Joey nodded once, and jumped off of his bed, waiting patiently for his father to leave the room before going into an excited frenzy.

"WOOO! YEAH! I GOT A NEW POKÉMON," he shouted, skipping around the room and holding his Pokéball proudly to the sky.

He paused abruptly when he heard a slight chuckling noise on the other side of the door. He fluhed red, and set his Pokéball down, running towards the door and banging on it.

"Dad, leave me alone," Joey complained, crossing his arms angrily. His father didn't reply, but Joey heard the sound of footfalls fading away and sighed in relief. Once he was sure his dad was gone, he ran over to a box on his desk and pulled out the Trainer Card he's received a few days back. Then, he turned to his Pokéball and placed it, along with the card, on top of a shelf. As quickly as he could, he changed into the most comfortable clothes he could find, packed his bag, shoved a cap onto his head, grabbed his things, and headed out of his room.

He was only halfway down the stairs when he realized that something was very wrong.

Short, I know. -.- This'll get better, really!
