10:03 A.M., Small Town High School

I see what is happening. Pokemon are right next to the President of the United States. It is now fourth period, Study Hall. I saw President Green deliver the small address live on the NBC website from my iPhone. Right now, he has made it official that Pokemon are existing. So I was not seeing things this morning. I still cannot believe it.

Cameras flashes are going off and reporters are trying to get their questions answered. President Green points to a man in the audience to answer a question.

10:03 A.M., EPA Headquarters, Washington D.C.

"Mr. President," a reporter with a Texas accent says, "has this been a project that the U.S. government or any other government for that matter?"

"We have talked to some world leaders," the President says. "and there has been no project. So far, I have talked to the leaders of Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica and Portugal because these creatures have been appearing in their countries as well. They all have said that Pokemon have just been popping up." More reporters shout the President's name for questions. President Green chooses a female reporter.

"We know you are a devoted Christian," she says, "and this is not the work of any government. So would you say it may be the work of God?"

"I do believe it is. He works in mysterious ways and has given us a challenge. I am willing to accept the challenge God has given us and the world." The reporters call his name. He chooses a short male reporter in the back.

"What kind of research has been conducted on these creatures?" He asks.

"From what I have seen, the scientists have been studying their behaviors and their powers. One scientist has demonstrated that Pikachu, the yellow mouse here," President Green points to Pikachu, "can omit electricity from its cheeks. He was able to charge his phone with it. And, I can't believe I am saying this, but as unprofessional as it sounds, we may resort to watching the TV series to have a better understanding of these creatures." The shouts of reporters demand answers for their questions. President Green chooses a young man from the Huffington Post.

"Do you think that the current animal protection laws at use may apply to Pokemon as well?" The young man asks.

"We do not know yet. When I get back to the White House, me along with Congress will be working on laws for the safety and protection of these creatures." Mr. President picks on a woman from the New York Times.

"In the TV show, the kids are allowed to have their own Pokemon at the age of ten. Do you think that is a too big of a responsibility for ten year olds."

"It will be a lot of responsibility for anyone of any age. Like I have said before, me, along with the members of Congress will be working on laws for Pokemon. There may be some restrictions too, but I can't guarantee anything yet." A man in a suit walks up to President Green and whispers something in his ear. "Ladies and gentlemen, I am afraid that is all the time I have. Thank you for your time." As the President leaves the podium, the flashes from cameras are going off at a rapid pace and reporters are shouting trying to get their unanswered questions answered.

10:09 A.M., Small Town High School

I am staring at my phone wide-eyed. I am still trying to grasp the idea of Pokemon are here in reality. They are becoming a real thing! My childhood, and modernday hood, is becoming real. When I was a kid, I would always pray for Pokemon to be real, and my prayers are being answered! This is insane!...in a good way.

I go to Twitter and see if the news has spread yet. So far, only one or two news networks have posted the news. But after a minute, I am getting tweets and retweets about this. I am getting tweets from the news magazines I follow, to the athletes and celebrities I follow. So far, it does not look like most of my friends know about this ground breaking news. Mostly because we are in school, but it will probably be all over the school by eighth period or ninth period.

1:10 P.M., Eighth Period

I was right. Everyone in class knew about it by now. It is currently Chemistry class, and unfortunately, I have it for ninth period too because it is a lab day. My lab group is working on a compound that consists of sulfur and iron. My group and the other groups are talking about the craziness of Pokemon becoming real. "I still can't believe this is real," Jess says setting up a bunsen burner. Yes, it is the same Jess from my Honors English class.

"I still want to know how they are popping up," Amanda, my other lab partner, says while grinding up sulfur and iron in a porcelain dish.

"It's beyond me," I say setting up a stand for the porcelain dish. "The president says it is not the work of any government. Is the sulfur and iron ready?"

"Yes. Jess you got the ignitor and bunsen burner ready?"

"You got it," She says. Amanda places the porcelain dish on the stand and Jess places the bunsen burner under the porcelain dish. I turn on the gas and Jess ignites the bunsen burner. Within thirty seconds, the mixture of iron and sulfur burn. When the flame dies, the mixture becomes a compound.

3:00 P.M.

The news has reached the cast of the musical too. "This is the coolest thing ever," my buddy Connor says.

"I know," I say. Right now, we are on break and we're in the school's theater for rehearsal. "This morning I found an Eevee. Check it out." I pull out my phone and show him the photo I took this morning.

"Look at the little guy. Do you think you can keep him?"

"Don't know."

"Alright guys, Rockin' the Boat is next," Mr. Dalton says.

"Hopefully, I can keep up this time," I say. The song is very fast paced to sing to and the and doing it with the choreography at the same time does not make it easier.

"You'll be fine," Connor says. "Oh, what kind of Pokemon do you think would be near my house."
"I wouldn't know. It could be anything bro."

4:00 P.M.

I walk outside of the school to my mom's car. On Fridays, there is no four o'clock bus, so we need rides home. After her day of work, my mom picks me up. I make it to the car and open the door. "Hey Nick, how's your day?" She asks.

"Good."

"Did you hear what has been appearing?" She found out too? "Can you believe it? Pokemon?!"

"This is insane."

"Vulpix!" I hear from behind me. I turn my head and see a Vulpix behind me. What?

"Where did you find Vulpix?"

"It that what's called?'

"It literally says its own name."

"Right. Anyway I was leaving the elementary school and I found the little guy. It walked up to me and took a liking to me and I took a liking to it as well. It looks so cute too."

"So I'm assuming we are taking it home."

"Heck yeah."

"She wants a Vulpix, yet we couldn't have a dog when I was a kid," I think to myself. "Well, I found a Pokemon on my way to the bus stop earlier today."

"If it's cute, we can keep it." Wow. We couldn't have a dog but we can have Pokemon. Well, I'm not complaining. If I can keep Eevee, I'll be very happy.
