Hi, I'm Wild Luxray and through some amazing turn of events, you have reached my first story, 'Journey of a Lifetime'. Yeah, cheesy title, but I couldn't think of anything better. Whether you did it on purpose or just clicked the wrong link, please take some time to at least read a few paragraphs, and tell me what you think of it. :)
As I mentioned before, this is my first story. For this reason PLEASE be brutal if you think that it's ****. Please give me constructive criticism and tell me if the grammar is terrible (not likely; I'm a grammar nerd), if the opening lines were cheesy; even if you think it just plain stank.
Well, I won't keep you any longer; I can see that you're just dying to read the wondrous literature below. So, enjoy! :) Oh, and one last thing... the first few paragraphs are meant to be a diary. Just so ya know ;)
Journey of a Lifetime
Dear diary,
Mum came home smashed again. I don't know how she does it; she can't afford to pay the mortgage yet she finds money to buy endless bottles and cans of cheap beer. I don't think it's fair; I'm 9 and yet I earn more money in my paper round than she does in a week! (She works as a bartender in the pub in Sandgem)
Luckily I can get away from her for most of the day at the Trainer's School in Jubilife. Ha, I think I'm about the only girl at school who doesn't like weekends :)
Anyway, usually Mum finds out about EVERYTHING that I do, and I can't keep any secrets from her. But so far she hasn't found out about my egg, and I hope she won't until it's hatched, and by that time it'll be too late to do anything about it.
I do hope she doesn't find this diary now :S

Dear diary,
I've found out where Mum gets that never-ending money from. Me!! I wanted to buy a new blanket for my egg and I had no money left at all, when I knew that I had at least £10 in there. I'd been wondering how Mum had got her hands on a bottle of Sunyshore Vodka. Anyway, to compensate my egg for the loss of a blanket I took it to bed with me last night, and it was surprisingly warm and cosy. I think I'll cuddle it every night now. :)

Dear diary,
Miss Fletcher the Egg Care teacher told me today that my egg's gonna hatch within a few weeks! Just in time for my birthday! Mum always stays extra long at work when my birthday's near, so the best thing is that when it hatches she probably won't be at home!

Dear diary,
I can hear noises from inside the egg! If I talk to it I can hear a sort of scrabbling on the inside of the shell! Miss Fletcher says that it'll hatch any day now, and Mum's started staying in Jubilife nearly all the time because my birthday is so near.
Some of the older students got their official starter Pokemon today and were sent off to their Pokemon Journeys around Sinnoh, and I can't wait for it to be my turn. :)

I felt warm and safe in this place... every way I turned was a warm orange-yellow colour, and sometimes I heard a reassuring voice from far away talk to me. Sometimes I felt that my little world was too small for me, and I'd kick out at the thick walls of this place with no result.
It felt almost prison-like... but like a cosy prison, just the right size for me. But today I woke up and felt claustrophobic and scared- my cosy small world had turned into a tiny prison with no exit. I cried out and thrashed in blind terror, not listening to the cracking of the walls under my paws or the excited chatter getting louder and louder. Finally I pounded the wall and it gave away completely, sending me flopping into cold. I forgot my panic and began to shiver until something soft and warm was draped over me, and I was picked up gently.
"It's soo cute!" something said loudly, only to be quieted by millions of 'SSSH!'s. Something wiped my eyes and I blinked, seeing for the first time. I looked straight into girl's face, brown eyes, brown hair, olive skin, a few spots on her forehead. I stretched out a limb and dabbed at her nose curiously. I began to purr.
"Welcome to the world, buddy."
Yeah, a bit shorter than I expected but whatever. Can you tell what the Pokemon is yet? :) And please tell me whether you like it so far or not :D
