The Adventures of Zakeru and Friends
Chapter #1 Birthday Boy!
One morning, a boy named Zakeru woke up early due to the sun blinding his eyes.* Zakeru was a taller boy, about 5'3; with smooth hair the color of emeralds and aquamarine put together; his eyes, on the other hand, clashed altogether, for they were the color of deep rubies. He inherited his hair from his father and his stature (vertical and horizontal) from his mom. After dressing in a gray T-shirt with a screaming red music note, chocolate brown khakis, and red slip-on shoes, the greasy-yet-tempting aroma of sizzling bacon and cheesy ham-filled scrambled eggs met his sensitive nose. And what happened next was pure instinct. Zakeru did a one-man stampede down the stairs and tripped over Spunky, the Poochyena they were keeping as a pet. "Ow, sorry Spunky," said Zakeru, stroking Spunky's slightly shaggy warm gray fur.
Just then, (Zakeru's mom) came in and said, "Happy birthday, Kuru!" Zakeru stared in confusion for a moment, and then said, "Oh, I almost forgot! Thanks, Mom!" After breakfast, which Zakeru literally gulped down, came in the front door, holding a colorfully wrapped package and said, "Happy birthday kohai!" "Thanks, sempai!" Zakeru said looking excitedly at the present his dad got him. Zakeru had one thing on his mind, "This is it, it has to be!" Zakeru had spent the entire month before his birthday leaving 'subtle' hints around the Catchit home, such as: "Oh, look, it's that ad for the trainer starter kit, wouldn't that be cool to have!" etc., etc. As Zakeru tore open the present like an Ursaring tears up its food, his face glowed with joy as the one thing he wanted sat in his trembling lap, A TRAINER STARTER KIT!!! "THANKS SOOOO MUCH SEMPAI!!!!" Zakeru said. The kit included 6 Poke balls, 5 potions, 2 paralyze heals, 2 antidotes, 2 burn heals, 2 awakenings, 2 ice heals, a Pokenav, a ribbon case, and a trainer I.D. While Zakeru chose a picture to put on his I.D card, he asked his mom, "Can I please start a journey with Spunky?" Mom answered, "Well, it is your tenth birthday…yes you may." Zakeru almost jumped for joy at this. "Yes! C'mon, Spunky let's go!" Spunky then ran to Zakeru and barked gleefully.
*time Zakeru woke up: 6:30 A.M. Usual wake-up time on Saturday: 11:30 A.M.
