I Wish I Was A Trainer...
by ShakirBBB
This is the world of Pokemon. This is the world of Pokemon training. This is the world where children at the age of 12 can start training these Pokemon we lived with for so long. I live in it...
... but I am not with it.
----
My parents told me not to go and train Pokemon too early, and that education comes first. I am now in Secondary 2 and have spent seven years at school. I have witnessed public Pokemon fighting and watched the stadium matches before, but I have always wanted to become a trainer. However, my parents will stop me from doing so and tell me that education can get me greater jobs and opportunities in the future. They are very serious about this...
They even said that you gamble while fighting with other Pokemon trainers. In my family, gambling is a sin, but gambling is hardly involved during Pokemon battles. Yet my parents do not believe me. Yes, there are better ways of earning a fortune, but this is different.
Team Rocket has been around for quite some time, and that is what scares my parents. Rockets (the members) will take away other trainers' Pokemon and train Pokemon like prisoners-of-war. Some incidents even involve death... I do not want to die, nor be killed, but I have to die some day...
You see, my parents do not understand...
... do you know how it feels like to do homework, PE, Maths problems and reading in class...
... ALL BY YOURSELF?
Of course, I am in the school band (with only less than fifty players) and have friends, but when it comes to class, I feel like I want to cry so badly because I am the only student! I want to be my friends! I hate being alone with the teacher. LET ME OUT NOW!!! All my classmates have left to go Pokemon training, leaving me to do all the class duties. I feel bored and lonely, I cannot bear learning in that ****hole just by myself!
Mum, Dad, please let me go. You can get me tuition if you me to. I want to go, but that does not mean I am not taking my GCE examinations. I will take it. And during the time I go training, I'll come home to greet you with my old schoolmates and show you my Pokemon. Then we could all get togother and have dinner as a whole family. Pokemon are like humans, you know? Believe me, they may not speak my language, but they still understand me.
So Mum and Dad, can I ask you kindly...
... can I be a trainer?
