Chris, wake up, his mom called as he lie in bed dreaming about Pokemon.
Chris' eyes slowly open as he raised his hands to his eyes in an attempt to wipe the drowsiness from them. He slowly rose himself on his bed and sat up just in time for his mother to walk in to wake him up, but it wasn't about that, Chris had been so caught up In His research the night before, that he forgot today was his birthday. He quickly jumped up in excitement, as today was a day to himself, the one day out of the year that belonged to him, he heard his dad laugh quietly as he drank his coffee, Chris threw on his clothes and didn't even to bother brushing his hair as he practically tripped over himself going down the stairs, on the table sat a black and white hat, with a pokemon symbol on the front of it, he picked it up as his dad told him, before the time of the colorful outfits trainers wear these days, there were black and white, your great grandfather owned this, you know back in generation one? It's yours, as I know someday, you'll be the best trainer this world has ever seen. Chris looked in wonder at the hat before he put it on, it fit perfectly on his head, he thanked his father and head out, he knew where he was going, and was to professor birch's office. He walked across the town whistling a tune, as fellow kids dared in wonder at his hat, he loved it. He reached the professor's house and walked in casually, as he always does and expected to walk in on an average research day, he was right except that there was a small present on the desk, he approached it, as the professor was nowhere to be seen at all, he looked at the name tag and knew it was for him. He immediately tore open the wrapping and opened the small box, it contained an ultra ball, he gaped in shock, not only had he got a real pokemon trainer's hat, he can become one, he gently lifted it out of its box and examined it greatly, right at that moment, professor birch walked in, he laughed and told the boy how it works, and all Chris could do was gawk at it, after the professor had done talking, he sent Chris out to get his pokemon, at that moment, Chris was happier than he had ever been, he set out to face the wild world of pokemon.
