Chapter 2-Leaving Home
Disclaimer: I own nothing except my own fan characters. NOTHING!! Don't sue me, k?
When we last left off, May was naming her Dratini. She named it Sweet Rage. Now, May is right outside her front door.
May opened the door excitedly. "MOM!!!" she called. "Come look at what I got!"
May's mother walked in from the kitchen. When she saw Sweet Rage, her mouth dropped open. "Oh my gosh...where did you get that?"
"The Game Corner. I was actually saving up for an Eevee, but then they were sold out, so I got myself a Dratini instead. Isn't it cute? I named him Sweet Rage." She smiled a big smile and hoped her mom wouldn't make her give it back or give it away or something.
May's mother smiled back at her. "He's so adorable!" She walked over to Sweet Rage and patted him on the head. Then she looked up at May. "What does he eat?"
"Oh...I don't know," said May. "Where can I find out?"
"Well," said her mother. She had an odd look on her face, and her smile faded. "You could always go to New Bark Town, and ask Professer Elm..."
"Could I really?" May was getting excited. This could be the start of her Pokemon journey.
"But then you would be gone, and I don't want you to end up like your father did..." She brushed a tear from her eye. "But I guess you're missing out on a good experience, and so maybe you should go."
Now May felt guilty. All she ever wanted was to become a Pokemon trainer, but if it was going to make her mom upset, she didn't want to go. "Mom, are you really sure about all this?"
May's mother smiled. "Of course I'm sure. Come on...you need a new backpack and plenty of other stuff. Sweet Rage can come, too."
May smiled back. "Okay."
So May, her mother, and Sweet Rage went to the huge Pokemart. May chose a purple backpack with lots of pockets. She also bought Pokeballs, potions, a map, and some other items she thought would be useful on her journey. Filled with excitement and shopping bags in hand, May walked back home, thinking about the morning to come. She kissed her mother goodnight, and went up to her room for a good night sleep.
Finally, it was the next morning. May and Sweet Rage woke up just as the sun was rising. May packed her clothes and her new items into the backpack. She started to lead Sweet Rage down the stairs, but then she realized he wasn't behind her anymore. "Mom," she called. "I cant find Sweet Rage!!!"
May's mother giggled. "He beat you to breakfast, May. I guess we found out what he likes to eat for breakfast!"
"Pancakes?" asked May, recognizing the familiar smell of her mom's pancakes. May squealed with delight and ran to the table, only to discover her syrup covered pancakes were half-eaten, and that Sweet Rage had syrup all around his mouth.
"Awwww...that's so cute!" she exclaimed. After a moment of awwww-ing over Sweet Rage, she picked up a napkin and wiped off his face. "We hafta leave soon, Mom," she said.
"Wait...I have one more gift for you." May's mother picked up an odd looking device that looked sort of like a phone with a little TV screen attached to it. "It's Pokegear," she said. "We can keep in touch this way, so i don't have to go long without seeing you." Tears came to her eyes. "I'm going to miss you so much."
May hugged her mom, and slightly regretted leaving. "I'll miss you too, Mom. I love you."
"I love you too, May. Be careful, okay?"
"Okay." May, her mother and Sweet Rage walked out to the front porch. Just then, May realized that she had no idea where she was going. "Wait a sec...where am I supposed to go first?"
"Well," said her mother, "you could go to New Bark Town and visit Professer Elm. He'll give you a Pokedex. Read your map-you'll figure out where to go."
"Okay," responded May, getting out her map. "Come on Sweet Rage, we're going to New Bark Town!" She pointed north and started walking.
"MAY!!! YOU'RE GOING THE WRONG WAY!!"
"Huh?" She noticed her map was upside down. "Oh yea...We're going south, then!"
Sweet Rage happily followed the lead of May down the road. He was very excited about the adventures to come, even though nobody knew this.
I know I know...this ones not as good as chapter 1, but theres only so much yu can write about leaving home...i promise, the other chapters will be more exciting! ^_^
