When I Grow Up!
"I want to be a Pokémon trainer!" Four year old Ash cried out excitedly as he bounced alongside his mother as they walked home from seeing the new trainers off on their journey, "I want to travel and see cool things and meet lots of new people and stay up late!"
At her son's excited but determined words Delia froze and fear entered her body, her emotions carefully hidden away from her son and a happy carefree smile firmly plastered on her face Delia hid the dread and fear inside of her at the thought of her son becoming a Pokémon trainer. If her precious baby disappeared like his father had Delia knew she could not cope.
"But do not worry mum! I will make sure to send you lots of letters and call you on the phone everyday!" Ash said with a childish grin full of promise making Delia's heart relax slightly, "After all with dad not around I am the man of the house! I have to protect my mother!"
Unable to help herself Delia let out a laugh, "Oh Ash, you are my big bad Pokémon master who will protect me from everything."
"That's right!" Ash answered proudly puffing his chest out.
"Well Ash if you are really sure that you want to become a Pokémon trainer we can fill out the needed paperwork and make sure you are in the right classes when you start school this year," Delia said carefully, "These next few years will be full of hard work at school, you will have double if not triple the amount of work to do, do you think you can do it?"
"I will, I will do it and give it my best," Ash answered, he would do it, he would become a Pokémon trainer.
