Chapter Four: Leela Shows Off Her Pokémon
After the party was over, I said thank-you to everyone three million times and dashed to my house.
"Mom! Dad! Jeni! Guess what I got!" I said.
"What is it?" they asked.
"I got pokémon!!" I said. I pressed the button on Spirit's ball. My parents gasped.
"Oh my, a Gastly!" my mom said.
"You're not going to make me take her back to Erin, are you?" I asked worryingly.
"No, just keep her in her pokéball when she's in the house." Mom said. I let out a sigh of relief. Then I pressed the button on Curly-Q's ball.
"Awwww! How cute!" My sister said. I smiled and scratched Curly-Q's little tuft. Then I pressed the button on Swordsman's ball. Out he came.
"He's beautiful!" My mother breathed. Next I pressed the button on Thunderbolt's ball.
"Awwww! He's so cute!" everyone in my family said. Then I put every pokémon back in their balls and turned to my family.
"You can go in the long grass now, as long as you have at least one of those pokémon with you." My mom said.
"Don't worry!" I told her. "I'll take them everywhere!" I dashed up to my room and let out Thunderbolt. I stroked his fur. Little zaps of electricity ran through my body. I smiled. I had my very own pokémon!!
