I do not own Pokemon

Enjoy reading.

Chance's Ambition

12/18/10

It's snowing. It's a very light snow, just dusting the ground. I prefer the rain to snow. People say the rain somehow matches me and I agree. I trained Vulpix in the rain. Yeah I know, fire-types and rain don't really go hand-in-hand. You might think it's some kind of torture, but it's really not. Training in the rain made my little buddy stronger. Like I said before, Vulpix is a tough little cookie.

Right now I'm sitting in a road-side Pokemon center. Nurse Joy is handing out extra blankets to the people who are staying here. I'm not staying here. In a few minutes I'll be heading out on the road. I'm on my way to Snowmont City. Hopefully I'll get my first badge. I've heard that the gym leader there, Luna, will only accept battles if you do some sort of work for her. I'm not complaining. I actually think that's perfectly fair. Why should she give up some of her free time if she, in reality, gets nothing in return? I've also heard that Luna is an elderly woman. Time comes with experience, so I assume she'll be quite the opponent. I do know that I have a type advantage if I use Vulpix, but that doesn't mean I'll have any easy time beating her.

I am just starting to wonder to myself. Why the hell am I still writing in this? I suppose I shouldn't waste paper, but still. Who would just read this? A teenage boy's journal filled with meaningless nothingness. I guess I could compare my journal to a black hole. Well other than getting sucked in, and your atoms being ripped apart it's essentially the same thing. I really wonder what will happen to this journal when I'm gone. Will it just lay in a drawer to collect dust for thousands of years? Or maybe I'll become some sort of famous Pokemon trainer and it'll be in a museum when I die. Ha, me famous? As if.

I closed up my journal and returned it back into its snug home in my backpack. Vulpix was taking a nap in his poke ball; he deserved one. We have been walking for more than 5 hours. My little buddy was lagging behind a bit. Sometimes I wish I was a Pokemon. It would take a lot of responsibility out of my life. I'd have to say the battling would have a lot of ware and tear on me though.

That was enough rest time I needed to get back on the road to Snowmont. Luna was waiting for me. I got up from where I was sitting in the Pokemon center and put on my black leather jacket. I then proceeded to wrapping a red plaid scarf around my neck. I made my way out of the Pokemon center and onto the small dirt road, which was really more of a path, which lead to Snowmont.

While walking I took the time to take in the scenery. The pine trees around me were dusted with the snow that sparingly fell from the sky. As I kept walking the snow began to collect more and more snow. After about half an hour of walking the snowfall became much heavier and I could barley see 3 feet in front of me.

At this point I was walking blind. It was a complete white out. I didn't know how far I was from anything. I walked with my eyes squeezed tightly shut so the snow wouldn't get into my eyes. I bumped into something and fell back onto my ass into the ice cold snow.

"Damn it." I opened my eyes and looked up to what I had run into. It was a sign that read: "Snowmont ahead."

Thank god, all these miles of blizzard would soon be gone, and I could get a nice cup of coffee.

Darcy's Point of View

I was exhausted.

Alex, my Pichu, and I sat in the room we checked into at the Pokemon center that was in Snwomont. Pichu is napping next to me on the bed. She's just adorable.

I pulled slid my sunglasses off my face and let out a sigh. I sure hope Luna doesn't recognize me. We only met once, but we got to know each other pretty well. She's a very nice woman but if she finds out my identity and what I'm trying to do I'll be in huge trouble.

Alex is out training with his Mareep. He likes electric-types and so do I. His Mareep is sweet to me, but hates Pichu. It's kind of sad, but I try to keep them separated.

I really wish I could use Pichu in my battle against Luna, but that'd be too risky and probably blow my cover. Sometimes I can't believe I'm really doing this. I'm not just protecting myself, but someone else too. Someone very important to me, so I guess it's okay. There's another option that's very easy. Oh god, I can't just swallow my pride, I wasn't raised that way. The easy way out is never the best way.

Anyways I should stop complaining and get a move on.

Alex's Point of View

Mareep's thundershock was getting a lot stronger. With that attack he could break some of the smaller branches off of the trees, and now we were working on the larger ones.

"Okay, one more time. Thundershock!" I called out.

It seemed that Mareep's attention was directed somewhere else, and he began walking in a thick wooded area.

"Hey where are you going?" I began to follow him. Along the way I could hear the ringing of bells become louder and louder. I also began to here the chanting of what sounded like different Pokemon and the singing female voice.

"Wonder what it could be..."

Hope you enjoyed to this chapter. Please review.
