I've always been a huge fan of Pokemon. The sheer creative aspect of the whole franchise inspired me. I knew mostly every single one that was out there. But, I knew that they weren't real. I always wished they were but, I knew better then to believe in silly fairytales like that. Who am I you ask? My name is Sylvia Rogers, I'm 13 years old. Yup, 13 and still a faithful to a children's TV show. I am about 5 feet tall and I weigh 100ish lb. I have long brown hair with streaks of tan. Blue eyes and a nice smile, atleast that's what my mom says. I'm not popular at school, just a handful of friends, mainly because I don't let too many people get too close to me, and those who do usually tease me because I like Pokemon. I don't listen to them though. Anyways, my story is one of action and adventure...it all started when my car got hit with lightning...

It was a hot August day. Sunlight reached through the glass windows of my family's Prius. Yes, we had a red Prius. My mom is eco-friendly and wouldn't let my dad get a pickup truck. Me, my mom and my dad were driving through town. We lived in a small town. About the size of Omaha. Cars zoomed by us and people were having a jog on the sidewalk with their dog. I'm an only child so I don't have siblings to play with. I stay indoors a lot because I'm kinda self-concious. So my mom wanted me to get out which is why we were going to the community pool. But, as we got closer cars started to disappear. My mom spoke up noticing this.

"It must not be that crowded at the pool! There aren't any cars." She said cheerfully.

I sighed and stared out the window. I saw a strange flash of light in the distance. Ignoring it, thinking it was a car headlight or something, I simply blinked and continued to stare out the window. But, at this point there weren't any cars around us. I frowned and asked my mom a question.

"Hey mom...is this like a smaller town or something." I asked.

Mom turned towards me. She thought for a moment.

"I don't think so."

I tilted my head like a confused dog and scratched my chin. My dad hasn't said a word and continued his silent act. Mom argued with him about his pouting and how he never got outside enough and blah blah blah. My mind filtered them out as I thought of a reason to explain the absence of motorized vehicles. Just then I saw a flash of lightning in the sky. Pressing my face against the window I widened my eyes. The sky was completley blue! No clouds or anything! And yet there was still lightning in the sky. I kept my mouth shut so Mom or Dad didn't notice. More lightning exploded and soon a streak of electricity hit the road next to us. Our car swerved and my dad struggled to balance us into a straight line.

"WHAT WAS THAT!" Mom squealed in terror. Dad just silently hyper-ventilated and kept on driving. My mother was trembling in her seat. "Richard! Stop the car you idiot!" She demanded. Dad just ignored her. "RICHARD!"

I was in total awe. But it was interrupted by another lightning attack...but right in front of us. Dad slammed the brakes and we screeched across the road. Our poor Prius made a few loops before stopping. Mom screamed and burst out of the car. "I told you to stop the freakin' car!" She yelled. I was plastered to my seat in fear. It started to rain and the sky slowly turned into a reddish tint. My mom, I'm just gonna call her Tina now cuz' that's her name, scrambled into the car and closed the door. We sat in the car for a while in hopes that the odd little downpour would halt. But to our dismay, it didn't. Dad fiddled with his cell phone and Tina was clutching her purse. Me? I was watching the grey clouds swirl into marvelous shades of blue and black. This wasn't normal, but I didn't care, it was cool. This was more entertaining than the latest episode of Pokemon. Just then I saw a small dog looking thing staring at me. It had yellow fur with a white, mane? More like a furry collar, a spiky tail and spiky ears. It took me about a minute to realize what it was. I mouthed the word out. Jolteon...

It was about 20 feet away and it was sitting down. It didn't look all cartoony like in the show, but more realistic. It still had the look of the cartoon but the fur was detailed and the paws were like a real dog's. But the eyes were still big, black, and scary as hell. It's made the hair on my neck go straight up. It had a way of staring, like an assassin. But, it still had a friendly feeling about it. It's mouth looked like it was, smiling. I rubbed my eyes and blinked. It was still there. It wasn't a dream. Tina was still making twittering noises like a scared bird and my dad was still replying to text messages. The rain seemed to ease up but it still sprinkled. The Jolteon then seemed to look sad and distraught. It now looked even scarier since it had a small snarl in it's face. I blinked again but it was gone in a flash. it didn't seem possible it could leave that fast. But then again, it was an electric Pokemon. I guess it could like move in a flash of lightning. The rain stopped and the sky turned to a normal color. Tina was still scared but my dad was starting the car up again. It startled her and she grasped dad's hand.

"NO!" She cried. Dad frowned and turned the car off again. I sighed and buried my face into my arms. After a few minutes of silence lightning crashed onto the middle of the car and it exploded in a blast of fire and smoke. I didn't remember much after that except a few seconds of air time and slamming into the ground. I blacked out, with only the smell of smoke and grass to send me off into the darkness.
