Lyrik Arc
Scene 6: To Be a Poke'mon Master
Lyrik's whole world are her parents. Her mother and father, Melody and Allegro, fill her little mind with tales of Poke'mon and powerful Poke'mon Masters. Everyday is a new adventure for the small toddler. She wanders the woods with her father, meeting with Wild Poke'mon; she visits the Kanto Power Plant with her mother playing with the machines; fishing for Poke'mon in the river with her Gramps; they visit the Poke'mon Tower every Sunday to pay their respects; and they take exciting trips in the hills on Allegro's old bike. Lyrik has so much fun watching her parents play-battle together, but her favorite time of the day is listening to their bedtime stories. Heroic tales of when they were Trainers, traveling the world and striving to become Poke'mon Masters. It's these stories that put the dream in her head. It's all Lyrik can think of as she gets older- someday becoming a powerful Poke'mon Master and battling against her own parents.
While Lyrik is snoozing away in her bed, Melody and Allegro are laughing at the story they just told. Melody playfully shoves at her husband's shoulder- he had been much too dramatic with the story that night. After a bout of laughter, Allegro looks seriously at his wife. "Have you ever thought about it..?" She looks up at him. She knows where this conversation is going. Melody had had Lyrik when they were a young couple and they couldn't deny the slight nag of regret that pulled at them every so often- what kind of life would they have had if they had waited..? Allegro grabs her by the shoulders, "Let's do it!" "Huh..!?" "I mean it. Let's go on a journey again!" Melody isn't sure about the idea. "We always talk big about being Poke'mon Masters to Lyrik- wouldn't you like to show her?" Melody's shoulders slump. The following day Melody and Allegro go to speak with her father, Mr. Fuji. And, of course, he agrees to watch after Lyrik for a time.
The next day, Melody pats her Marowak's head "Make sure you keep an eye on Lyrik for us, all right?" Maro! She looks up at the sound of Lyrik's shrill laughter. Allegro is spinning her around and hugging her tightly. He rubs noses with her as she laughs. "Just you wait, Lyrik! Mamma & Papa are gonna become powerful Poke'mon Masters, just like we've always talked about!" Lyrik's eyes are sparkling at the idea. Seeing her daughter so happy for them, Melody becomes a bit more brave. She wants to be the strong person to Lyrik that she and Allegro always told her about. Melody stands and gives Lyrik a kiss on the cheek. "Are you gonna win and become Champions!? Just like the Trainers from the stories?" Melody smiles and nods. "You know it, Baby!" Melody gives Lyrik a triumphant thumbs up. Allegro puts her down and they say their final goodbyes. Mr. Fuji picks up Lyrik as Melody and Allegro load up into the bike. He starts the engines and they're soon off. Lyrik is waving even after the dust settles. She knows she has to be strong- just like her Mamma and Papa.
