The Life of Chuck

Episode 2 : Sport's Star

It was a quiet and lazy afternoon and college, there was a warm gentle breeze outside and the trees and grass moved rhythmically with the wind. Meanwhile however Chuck was stuck in his room studying for his lessons. "Ugh! Why does studying have to be so boring" Chuck thought to himself but just then something caught his eye.

He could see the schools football team playing outside, but he noticed that they weren't very good at it, missing the ball when trying to kick it or running into each other. Just then Evan walked into the room. "Hey Chuck! What you looking at?" asked Evan, "those guys playing football, but they suck! Seriously even I could play better than that!" Chuck looked annoyed as he said this, his face gave it away.

Evan grinned at this "Ha! You sure about that Chuck? I mean you're not exactly built for sport are you? Evan continued to laugh at this but Chuck was silent. Finally Chuck spoke "Okay I'll do it" "do what?" Evan questioned. "I'm going to play for the football team" And while a smug look on his face Chuck walked out of the room. "Oh boy this is going to end badly" sighed Evan, "you can say that again" agreed Pandora.

Chuck walked over to the football ground and over to Mr. Ember, a Charizard and coach of the team. "excuse me I'd like to join the team" Chuck said. Mr. Ember turned around to face him and looked confused as he was sure he heard a male voice. "err sorry but this is the boy's football team" Chuck just rolled his eyes and responded "yeah I am a boy" Still slightly confused Mr Ember spoke again "err…okay just grab a team vest over there and join in you'll be on team 2" "okay thanks" Chuck said and with that he grabbed his vest and ran over to start kick off.

Jim the Hitmonlee and captain of the team seen that Chuck was now in the game and shouted over to the coach "Hey coach why is there a chick on the team!" The coach just yelled back " I don't really know… what's going on either… but just play on anyway!".

And with that they were off kicking ball to each other in attempts to score goal. But with chuck there seemed to be a reoccurring theme, whenever he went to kick the ball his dress would always get in the way or he would trip on it. This continued for a long time and with Chucks team failing miserably.

By the end Chuck was flat on his face in the mud, Jim ran over and nudged Chuck with his foot and said "Dude you suck! You're off the team!" Chuck only responded

With a groan that was muffled by the ground and then the coach walked over "Maybe football isn't for you however I'll sign you up for something you might be good at" and with that chuck got up disappointed and full of mud and slowly walked away in sadness.

After a shower to clean himself up he sat down on his bed and thought about today's events. "so much for being better at football I could barely kick it myself" just then Evan was back in the room "so how did it go?" he asked. "Not too good, it turn's out I'm no better at sport either", "oh well, who cares! You're still better at other stuff right?" Evan was trying to reassure Chuck and it worked to some extent. "Yeah I guess, and anyway the coach said he would sign me up for something he thinks I'll be good at!"

The next day Evan and Pandora went into the gym to see exactly what Chuck had been signed up for, just then they spotted chuck but he was in a cheerleader's vest and holding a pair of pom-poms and he didn't look happy in the slightest. "HA! HA! CHEERLEADING! SERIOUSLY!" Evan was in fits of laughter, "yeah yeah laugh it up" Chuck said annoyed. "Anyway it has its plus sides" Chuck said with with a smile, "how so" Evan asked "Check it out" Chuck pointed over to a Lopunny, it was Gina the head cheerleader and with that Chuck and Evan both shouted "Awesome!" and hi fived each other. "oh please" groaned Pandora and with that the three of them left the gym and Chuck learned to leave sports to the professionals.
