This is destinysfailure, live from NEW BARK TOWN! Yes, our trainer has taken three days to reach her destination….right…where…she…started…from. Yes, we know it sucks. We're working on it!

He's been contemplating Jen and his relationship. Let's tune in to our young trainers!

I was mildly pissed off and mildly comforted to be back in New Bark Town. I mean, the town is so small it only takes you thirty seconds (or less) to walk through it. Plus, all my neighbors ever say are things like "Oh my god! Isn't Professor Oak, just like, the best?" and sometimes, "I wanna BE Professor Oak!". But the scariest thing I've ever heard any of my neighbors say was, "Professor Oak is sexy." Yes, the guy is a genius, but come on. Sexy? Plus I'm pretty sure that we all have better things to do then discuss how hot some 60-year old man is. So I found my way back to the 'vu….erm, Oak's lab.
"Ah, Jen!" greeted Professor Oak at the door. "I'm glad to see you've arrived safely. How is your Cyndaquil doing?"
Sora popped out from behind me. "Cynda-QUIL!" Oak smiled at the Pokémon.
"Good to hear! Now, do you have that egg that Mr. Pokémon had to give me?" he asked. I handed him the odd spotted egg and he looked at it slowly. He examined every corner of it, turning it every way, then he finally placed it into his experimentation machine. A few clicks on his keyboard and the machine lit up with life. Suddenly the egg lit up as well, and I could make out a dim pair of curious eyes. I shrieked and jumped backwards, startling Oak.
"What? What is it? Do you see anything?" he asked. The lights stopped immediately and I lost my sight of the Pokémon inside. Oak jumped back to where I was but saw nothing. "It's gone! Oh, fiddlesticks. Well, the least I could get out of this computer is that we're going to have to raise this egg the old-fashioned way. Jen, I want you to take this egg and keep it in your party. Then it will hatch and we'll be able to see the results."
"Really? You want me to keep it….?" I asked. He took the egg out of the machine and placed it back into my arms.
"Of course I do! Just call me and update me on its status, alright?" he said, looking deeply at the egg again…or maybe at my chest area. Awkward….
"Yeahhh….I'll do that, Professor Oak. Bye!" I said, walking straight out of the lab. The cool, fresh air of New Bark Town comforted me. I caught a glimpse of my house and debated on stopping in and talking to Mom. Well, all hell would break loose if I didn't for sure. I walked towards my house, saying hi to a few neighbors, and went right in the door.
"JEN!" my Mom shouted. She was still sitting at the damn table. Didn't she ever move? "I have a question for you!"
"Yeah, sure," I told her, sitting across from her.
"I want to ask you if you want me to start saving a little bit of your money." Well, there was nothing like being direct. I thought about this for a minute; what could she do with my money? She wasn't really a big spender and I knew she'd do good with it. So, I nodded.
"Okay, Mom. But promise me something, will you?"
"Anything, sweetie."
"Don't spend it on ridiculous items I don't need or can get in any store. Please."
"Great! I'll start saving up half of what you earn from battles. Good luck! Be safe, too," she said, standing up and giving me a hug. I hugged her back and smiled, walking out of the door happily. Sora was at my feet, and I turned and looked at him. To my surprise he was holding a berry of some sort. He held it out in his tiny paws and I took it slowly. It was an Oran berry! Although we had found a few already, I had an idea for this one. In my bad I'd found a potting kit (packed by Mom, of course), and I buried it into the soil in one of the red pots. Back in my bag it went, and we started towards Violet City and my first Gym Badge.
Back On Route 30…..
"You're not training hard enough!" I yelled at my Totodile. It cringed in fear of me, even though it knew I'd just get madder if he showed any kind of disrespect towards my wishes. He needed to be tough and fierce if we were ever going to beat Jen.
"Dile….dile," it said, flopping down onto the grass. I did too, groaning in frustration. I held my head in my hands and shook it over and over. Disappointment sank into me. I'd never beat Jen at anything. Never have, never will. Although, I did come close once…..

"Kendall, you have to keep up!" Jen said, turning and laughing at me. I grimaced and continued to run. My nine-year old body just couldn't keep up with hers. She matured a lot faster than I did, so she ran a ton faster. I finally stopped, faking an asthma attack. Of course, I didn't have asthma, but Jen didn't know that. So she turned around and put an arm around m.e
"Are you okay?" she asked. Although I was enjoying her arm around me, I broke free from her and charged ahead. I could practically smell victory. We were racing from her house to the trees behind it and back, and we were on the last legs back to her house. I was winning! I was winning!
"Haha!" she cheered, suddenly beside me. I couldn't help but stare at her beautiful figure. Even for being so young, Jen already had a filled-out body and beautiful blue eyes. Her smile was contagious- even though I was losing I felt like I was the one winning. That's when she pulled ahead of me and touched the siding of her house before I could. "I did it! I did it!"
"Ugh," I groaned. "Whatever. It doesn't matter anyways."
"But you said whoever won this was gonna be the winner of everything from now on," she told me, crossing her arms. "Did you lie, Ken?"
"Don't call me Ken! You know I hate that," I yelled. "I didn't lie- I just kinda…stretched the truth. Your Mom does it all the time! She told my mom she lost fifty pounds on the milkshake-and-pizza diet and when my Mom tried it she gained fifty poundfs!"
"I'm not my Mom- I'm not a liar!" she said, stomping her foot. She did that a lot. "Kendall, you're such a meanie!"
"Yeah, well you're just stupid!"
"And you're a dummie!"
"Well you're ugly and whoever likes you in this whole wide world is just the most dumbest person ever!" I could tell that hit her deep. Her eyes filled with tears and she ran inside, leaving me dumbfounded. She started the argument, right? Why was she crying? "Wait, Jen!"
"Don't ever talk to me again!" she said, sniffling in her Mom's arms. My Mom shot me the nastiest look and I knew I was in for a world of trouble when we got home.

Okay, so maybe I hadn't really come close to winning, but I'd really damaged her that day. I just didn't know why when we met recently she looked so dumbfounded, like she didn't know me. She said my name like it was foreign. She looked at me like I was someone else. I didn't get it. I'd have to ask her about it someday.
"Toto…dile," my Pokémon said from the grass beside me. As I pulled a stolen potion out of my bag, I figured today wasn't the day.
So, I am trying something a little different this chapter! I like to call it….not leaving with Jen! Haha. But seriously, Kendall is such a loveable guy. He's just a little confused, right? But, remember, in the games your rival ALWAYS is your rival. Can Kendall really break this mold? Or is he destined to just battle Jen forever? Speaking of Jen….is she destined for the Elite Four's greatness someday? Will she attain all the gym badges to become the ultimate trainer? And why is Oak such a creeper? Find out most of the answers to the questions in this story, but tune in next chapter for a little more of My Rival Stole my Heart! (:
