-Setting-
The scene opens with the primary protagonist, Dare, presenting a short essay to his English class in Pal Lake High School.
Dare: What is my dream? My dream is to become a Pokémon Master. Pokémon to me is more than than mere animals or pets. They are my friends and I want to be one with them. I will become a pokémon trainer and with that I will go on a highway to my dream!
Teacher: Thank you Dare.
*The bell rings*
Teacher: That's it's for class today, see you all tomorrow.
As Dare walks home from school playing with his novelty pokeball, a few kids begin to approach him.
Rob: well well well if it isn't dareydare!
Mac: Yeah!
Luke: What he said
Dare: What do ya what you guys.
Rob: we heard that that little speech you gave I class today and we think it was stupid.
Mac:Yeah!
Luke: What he said
Dare: Who are you to tell me that my dream is stupid?
Rob: You want to become friends with pokemon? Pokemon are just tools, objects nothing more.
Dare: Shut up! pokemon are not just tools. They have life, they have emotions people like you should be allowed to have pokemon.
Rob: Is that right. Boys grab him!
Luke and Mac grabbed Dare and he dropped his Ball.
Rob: Pokemon having feelings. Fools like you are delusional. Pokémon are friends bullshit!
Rob steps on the pokeball and breaks Dare's pokeball
Dare: No!
Rob: Pokémon are objects not friends.
Rob and walked away Dare was left in despair.
