[1216 Franklin Street : The Loud House]
(Friday afternoon)
Currently, it was a normal Friday afternoon in the town of Royal Woods, located somewhere in the state of Michigan.
Many of the citizens that called Royal Woods their home were having a peaceful day, enjoying everything that it had to offer. This was because the temperature of the town was just right, since it was neither too hot nor too cold. Add to the fact that the Sun was shining and the air never felt so clean. It was safe to see why everyone seemed to be happy... Well, mostly everyone.
Currently sitting on his front porch with a scale on his face was a preteen 12-year-old wearing an orange Polo shirt, blue jeans, and white sneakers. He had light skin with noticeable freckles on his face. He also had prominent buck teeth. But the most noticeable aspect about him was his natural white hair that he had in a turkey tail haircut.
This 12-year-old young man was Lincoln Loud, the middle child of the most famous and largest family in all of Royal Woods; the Loud family.
"Haaa... It's just another boring day."said Lincoln to himself before noticing the audience.'
Now Lincoln knows there aren't people who watch his family 24/7... But when you grow up in a house of mostly girls who have nothing in common with you, it is safe to have a coping mechanism in order to get through the day. For Lincoln, that coping mechanism was to talk to an imaginary audience that he believes watches his family's adventures every so often.
"Oh hey, I didn't see you there."said Lincoln before turning the faces imaginary audience...
"Now I bet you're wondering why I have such a scowl on my face... Well, the answer is not so simple. The reason I'm in such a bad mood is not because of anything my sisters did... Mostly. It's just that with Lori back from college for a gap year, I've come to realize that I'm being left behind... Especially after that whole incident where I wanted to be a real life spy, only to discover how dangerous that world can really be... Especially when you're dealing with someone out for revenge..."said Lincoln, who did not want to recall that incident ever again.
Especially since he blames himself for putting his family in danger... But he has been insured by the people in question that it was not his fault, but it was the people who tried to shoot them into space's fault.
"After almost drowning to death... I've come to realize that I'm just too normal compared to my family of superstars. Now I know they assured me that they will always need me, but sometimes I just want to find my own thing...like get away from everything, and see what the world has to offer me."said Lincoln before turning to face the streets.
"It's not just that that's been bothering me, but just this week, I've been having a bad week... And although I don't blame my sisters, part of me still does."said Lincoln before he began recalling all the bad memories he had over the last 4 days.
(Flashback)
(Monday)
"First, it started with Lola and Lana arguing over a dollar bill on Monday."said Lincoln as the scene changed to show the twins fighting over a dollar bill.
"It's my dollar!"shouted Lola while pulling the bill in question.
"No, it's mine!"retorted Lana, not willing to give her aggressive twin an inch.
It was in that moment that Lincoln walked into the scene and tried to take the dollar away from them so he could give each of them two quarters. That way, they could evenly have half a dollar.
Unfortunately for him, by the time he took it away from his sister's, they had ripped it, but because it was in his hand at the moment of the incident in question... They blamed him!
"Look and what you did!"shouted Lola before kicking Lincoln in the shin.
"OW!"shouted Lincoln, wondering what he did.
(Tuesday)
"On Tuesday, I was in the kitchen making myself a peanut butter and sauerkraut sandwich... And I accidentally ran into Lynn."said Lincoln, recalling the incident.
He had just made his favorite sandwich in the form of peanut butter and sauerkraut. He was about to take a bite as he was making his way back to his room, when he accidentally ran into Lynn and stained her shirt full of peanut butter and sauerkraut.
"Smooth move, Stincoln!"shouted Lynn before turning Lincoln around and giving him a huge wedgie!
"Ow... Why the Texas wedgie!"said Lincoln before running off so he could undo the wedgie without angering his jock of an older sister anymore.
(Wednesday)
"Now, normally, I would expect Luan to ready her pranks in advance for April Fool's Day... What I did not expect was that I would be the test subject for her newest prank."said Lincoln, recalling the incident on Wednesday.
He was just whistling while going down the stairs... Before out of nowhere, the rug that was on the stairs pulled up and caused him to fall onto a banana cream pie at the very bottom. Has Lincoln got up and tried to wipe the banana cream pie off of his face? Someone offered him a towel... Only for Lincoln to realize that it was full of shaving cream.
"Ew!"said Lincoln before Luan punched him with her extending boxing glove.
"Ow..."said Lincoln as Luan took notes.
"Hmm... Needs some work."said the practical joker before going back to her room to craft an even more elaborate pank.
(Thursday)
"There was this really big test on Thursday that I didn't study for, so I begged Lisa to help me... And let's just say what she wanted in exchange was probably not worth it..."recalled Lincoln, shuttering at the incident
On Thursday, Lincoln was strapped to an operating table and Lisa and Lily's bedroom. Several pointy needles and other dangerous doohickeys were approaching him at a slow pace.
"Um, are you sure this is necessary?"inquired Lincoln with fear.
Lisa, meanwhile, was standing next to him, holding a clipboard to take notes.
"Do you want my help with your important math assignment or not?"inquired Lisa, knowing Lincoln really needed to get an A on that test.
So he nervously nodded his head.
"Now, this might just be heard for a second."said Lisa before pressing a red button, causing the machines with the scary doohickeys to approach her only brother.
"Awww! I should have been worried the whole time!"shouted Lincoln, whose screams could be heard from the outside.
(End a flashback)
"I still have no idea what that experiment was about..."said Lincoln before pulling up his sleeve to show some bandages covering it Lisa's experiments.
"Even though my sister's guaranteed I'm an essential part of their success, sometimes I want to be the main person on the stage... But what are the chances something like that is going to happen."said Lincoln to himself just as the mailman arrived.
The mailman just whistled his whistle as he placed an envelope into the mailbox. He had to be careful since the mailbox was not that well built, and he had to make sure it didn't fall on his foot. So, with a careful hand, he placed the envelope into the mailbox. Just as the family dog Charles came running out of the house and began chasing him.
"This is a stereotype for you. Be better!"yelled the mailman as he got back in his truck and sped off.
Charles chased after him for a few feet before coming back to the house, whimpering as he wished the mailman to come back... But he can always wait until tomorrow.
"Hmm... It's unusual for only one envelope to be in that mailbox... I wonder who it's for."said Lincoln, who decided to check out the mailbox.
So he quickly got up and made his way through his front yard all the way to the mailbox. He quickly opened the mailbox and took the letter, making sure that the mailbox in question didn't hit his foot. Much to his surprise, the letter was for him.
"Huh, this letter is for me."said Lincoln, who clearly saw his name written on the letter.
With nothing else said, Lincoln quickly headed back inside to the house before going up the stairs and making his way up to his bedroom. He quickly looked around to see if anyone was watching, but he figured his sisters were doing their own thing and were minding their own business for once. That is when he saw them in the living room watching dessert storm, one of their favorite TV shows!
"Huh, oh well."said Lincoln to himself before he went into his bedroom and shut the door behind him.
He quickly got onto his bed and opened the letter, only to see that it was some kind plane ticket with a note.
"Ohh... This must be the prize for that David Steele contest I signed up for several months ago. It was a one in a million chance I would win anything, so I guess this must be the prize. I know the number one prize was a mystery, but I was expecting to get a David Steele figure or something... Could this plane ticket be the mystery prize?"wondered Lincoln to himself as he saw that there was a note attached to the plane ticket.
"Hmmm..."said Lincoln before he pulled out the note, opened it up, and began to read it out loud.
"Congratulations, unnamed contest winner... We of the David Steele comic community congratulate you for winning the mystery prize. As you probably know or don't know, the mystery prize was something that could not be unveiled to anyone besides the winner. Your prize is on all expense paid trips to the island of Galar, a large island located a few miles away from the United Kingdom. In this envelope, you will not only find a plane ticket to your destination, but you will also be giving a card with a large spending limit of pokédollars, the currency they use in Galar. This is to ensure that you enjoy your trip on the island, so we hope you enjoy it."said Lincoln to himself, finishing reading the note.
"Galar... I've never heard of an island like that... But this is definitely some mystery prize."said Lincoln as he pulled out the card and the plane ticket.
"Hmm... It would be ashamed to let this stuff go to waste, plus this is a card with a huge spending limit... That I can only use it on an island I have never heard of. Hmmm... What to do... I could go on this trip, but I'm not sure how my sisters will react to this. Not to mention my parents.. I'm only 12, so I'm not sure what they'll say about me going to an island off the United Kingdom by myself...hmm... But maybe this is exactly what I need, a famous person who I can't name right now says that if you feel like you're stuck, it's best to find new land to explore in order to get out of your funk... Or something like that. Now I just need to come up with a plan to convince my family to let me go to this island of Galar by myself... And I think I know exactly what to do. Okay Lincoln Loud, time to come up with operation convince family to let me go to this island they never heard of and come up with a better name for this operation! As of now, this operation is a go!"said Lincoln to himself before he began planning out how to convince his family to let him go on this trip.
After all, it would be a waste to waste a good plane ticket and spending card with an unspecified high limit of money.
Even though he's never heard of this place called Galar, he sure it would be fine if the people behind David Steele gave him this prize!
Little did Lincoln know that by accepting this prize, he would be sent on a journey he would never never would have gone on otherwise. Soon, he will experience something beyond him and anything else he ever expected as he enters a world he never knew existed until now. Hopefully, he'll make it out in one piece... As he takes his first step into the world of Pokemon...!
But only time will tell!
To be continued...
In honor of a Pokemon game, I spent a long time playing, plus the recent popularity of the Pokemon anime, along with the upcoming Pokemon Legends Z-A... I've decided to write this story!
I choose Galar because the Loud family can trace their family back all the way to Scotland, which is a part of the United Kingdom.
The starter Pokemon has already been decided, along with my majority of the team.
In the next chapter, Lincoln will implement his plan to convince his family to let him go while still being ignorant to the fact of the Pokemon world.
Do you think Lincoln has what it takes to become a Pokemon trainer? Do you believe he can Master the power of dynamax and gigantamax? There is only one way to find out, and that's to give this story a chance.
I'll try updating regularly, so if you have any suggestions... Feel free to leave a comment or send me a private message.
I'm Imortitus, so don't confuse me for someone else.
I believe that's everything I needed to say, so have a great rest of the day, everyone, and I will see you all next time... Hopefully, by tomorrow or the day after.
Sayonara and arrivederci for now!
