~~~~POKEMON: PERIOT ADDITION~~~

~~~The Fanfiction~~~

"Honoka! Get up!" My mother exclaimed as she ran into my room. "You got your letter!"

She threw the letter in my face as I got up slowly, groaning all the way. "What letter?" I asked sleepily.

"The letter from the Summit!"

I quickly grabbed the letter from where it had fallen in my lap and ripped it open excitedly, all tiredness completely forgotten. I ran my eyes over it jumped up to stand on my bed and cheered. "I made it! I'm the Central Island delegate!"


I knocked on my best friend Youta's door and he opened it a few minutes later, rubbing his eyes and trying to hold back a yawn. "What could you possibly want at five o' clock in the mourning, Honoka?"

Now, I'm not one of those girls who are completely oblivious to their best guy friend's good looks. Youta was one of the most beautiful guys I'd ever seen. A regular Leonardo Decaprio. His face was neatly, and softly defined in all the right places and his light brown hair was messy from bed head. His bright blue eyes blinked at me sleepily.

I just grinned at him. "Hey, Youta! I just got my letter from the Summit! I'm the delegate!"

He rolled his eyes. "Thanks for telling me. Now I don't have to bother opening my letter from the Summit that's sitting over there on the counter. I don't see why you're so excited. We were the only two from Central Island that even applied, which means that I'm the only person that you beat."

"Youta? Who's that at the door?" I heard his father's voice call from inside.

"Hi, Mr. Oak," I called over Youta's shoulder, causing my friend to hold his ear in pain.

Mr. Gary Oak peeked out from behind his son and glared at me slightly. "Honoka, I like you and all, but you're too much of a morning person for my house."

"Sorry, Mr. Oak," I said sheepishly. "I just wanted to tell Youta that I'd made it into the Summit. They also told me that since I'm the most friendly of the delegates, it might be a good idea to go and befriend the others, so I get to travel to Fire Island, Water Island, Earth Island, and Air Island, all expenses paid! And since Youta was going to start his pokemon journey soon, I thought that we could go together."

Youta opened his mouth, but his father interrupted. "Sorry, Honoka. I think it would be better if the two of you went separately. A pokemon journey can take a long time and there isn't much time until the Summit, so it may slow you down. And I also don't want Youta to get distracted."

I thought about it, and then nodded. "That makes sense. Oh well, I guess I'll go on my own."

"Are you stupid?" Youta exclaimed. "It's dangerous out there without a pokemon. I still haven't gotten mine from the lab yet."

"Oh. Then where can I get one?"

Mr. Oak looked thoughtful. "Well, I've got some extra starter pokemon back at the lab. Why don't the two of you come to my lab later today? Like around lunch time."

Youta and I nodded. I grinned. "Thanks a lot, Mr. Oak! I'll be there! See you two later then!" I ran off back towards my house next door.


The wait for lunchtime was longer than I thought it would be and I was bouncing on the balls of my feet the whole time. "Come on, come on…" I muttered over and over again. My mother was used to my antics so she was sitting calmly on the couch reading her magazine.

The clock stuck twelve and I was off. I ran through the town, passed Youta's house and passed the hotel and passed some other houses until I reached the lab. I stopped out front and took a deep breath to calm myself, then walked inside.

Mr. Oak and Youta were already inside waiting for me, so I walked up to them and stood by my friend. In front of us was a table with three poke' balls on it.

"Hello, Honoka," Mr. Oak said looking up from a device in his hand. "I was just talking with Youta about maybe giving you two the newest version of the Pokedex to take with you. What do you think?"

"What's a Pokedex?"

"It's a device that records the information of all the pokemon you encounter. If you fill it all the way up, I can give you a prize. This new version also acts a phone and keeps track of badges your earn, which you probably won't need because you're just going to talk to delegate, but having a Pokedex would still be useful to you."

"Alright. That sound cool. What's with these three poke' balls?"

"Well, I'm going to let you two choose from three pokemon to take with you. The one on the right is an oddish, the one in the middle is a poliwag, and the one on the left is cyndaquil. Ladies first, Honoka."

"Hey!" Youta exclaimed. "What about me?"

His father and I ignored him. I thought hard about my choice, but in the end I decided to just spin around until I got dizzy and grab the nearest poke' ball with my eyes closed. I held my head as I looked closely at the poke' ball I'd picked. "Which one did I get?" I asked.

Youta rolled his eyes. "What a way to make a decision. You picked the poliwag."

I grinned and held the poke' ball close to my chest. "Cool!"

"Then I'll take the oddish," Youta said, picking it up and looking at it for a second. He looked up at the other ball. "What's going to happen to the cyndaquil?" He asked.

Mr. Oak didn't even look up from the bag he was rooting through. "I'll probably give it to my new assistant."

"Assistant?" Youta asked.

"You know him, Youta. Akira Ketchum."

"Oh… him," Youta said, sighing. "Well, don't expect me to visit often while he's here."

"Why?" I asked him. "Do you not like him?"

"He's full of himself to the point it's sickening," Youta told me.

"Well," Mr. Oak said as he pulled to red devices out of his bag and handed them to us. "Not visiting me won't stop you from seeing him. I'll be sending him out all over the region to catch pokemon for me. You might run into him sometime."

Youta groaned. "Why, dad?"

"Well, I don't want to be stuck here with him all the time either and I can't very well leave the lab to him. Now you guys should go ahead and shove off. Say goodbye to your mothers before you leave. They'll be worried while you're gone."

I nodded and started leave behind Youta. "Bye, Mr. Oak."

He waved his hand lazily as he sat down behind his desk. "Smell ya later, Honoka."


"Mom!" I called as I ran inside and grabbed my bag off the couch. "I'm leaving now!"

"Honey, wait!" She called as she ran down the stairs. She threw her arms around me. "Oh! I can't believe my little baby is all grown up and about to leave Central Island! Call me everyday."

"Yes, mom… Can I go now?"

"Wait, I got you a present." She walked to the other side of the room and handed me a pair of shoes. "These are running shoes. The ones you're in aren't very good for running and I don't want you to have to buy a new pair of shoes after you wear those out."

I smiled and took them from her hand to put them on. "Thanks mom. I'll visit. I promise."

She nodded and got a little teary eyed. "Oh, just go dear. Don't pay attention to me. I'm happy for you."

I smiled and hugged her one last time before leaving. "Bye mom!"

And then I was out on my own.


Hey everyone! Here's the first chapter of Pokemon Periot! I hope you like it! On my profile is a link to what the case cover would look like. I know it's kind of crude but I haven't got that great of an art application on my computer.
