Chapter 1 - Here Goes Nothing
A wave of cheers roared through the crowd as the final announcement was made. The judge’s voice echoed throughout the stadium,”Dex and his Gravler are unable to battle, June and her Dragonite have won the match! June is the new Elite Four champion, and her Dragonite’s name will be placed in The Hall of Fame!!! But wait, there’s more! June will receive 100,000 poke’ dollars, and will never have to pay for any sort of poke’ food again, as long as she has this card with her!” The judge shoved his hand into a pocket, and pulled out some sort of credit card. He held it high over his head, almost as if he was the new champion, and the crowd’s wild cheers became deafening. June thrust her hands over her ears and squinted her eyes until she could barely see the judge. The judge’s mouth started moving, and June guessed that he was attempting to explain to the audience more about the card. Suddenly, the judge pitched the card over the audience, and towards June, but the distance was much too great. The card started spiraling down toward the crowd. Arms from the audience flung upward, trying to catch it. June personally didn’t want some unknown person in the crowd stealing her free poke’ food card, so her automatic reaction was to use Dragonite. “Dragonite! Use Wrap on that card, and then bring it to me!” June screamed, but she could barely hear her own voice over the cheers. Dragonite looked at her with a confused expression. He didn’t hear her. Luckily, Dragonite was thinking the same way as June. Dragonite didn’t use Wrap, but instead lunged at the card with the move Agility. He delicately swiped the card from mid-air and brought it to June. Many “oooohs” and “ahhhhs” rose from the audience. June rolled her eyes, and then turned to Dragonite with a pleased smile. ”Good boy Dragonite,” June said as she rubbed his head and popped a poke’ block into his mouth. June looked down at the card. It had a reflective silver surface with lettering making up the words,’ Elite Four Award Card’. June looked back up at Dragonite, who was looking curiously at the card. “Wow”, June said. “I can’t believe this is happening to us, can you Dragonite?” Dragonite looked up at June and shook his head. “Jolt! Jolteon!” “Wha?” June mumbled groggily, rubbing her eyes. “Aw man, it was just another dream,” she pouted. Someday, I really will be the world’s greatest poke’mon champion, like Ash, June thought. She opened her eyes to see her sister’s Jolteon starring her in the face. Jolteon’s ears twitched around, and she stamped her feet impatiently. This all meant that she, and probably the rest of the Evee evolutions were hungry. June sat up and looked around her room. Clothes were sprawled around everywhere, her stuffed Poke’mon lay all over herself and the bed, a Poke''''mon calendar hung on the wall, and her alarm clock flashed the time: 6:32 AM. Wait a minute. What’s the date? June quickly looked back at her calendar. July 18th!!!! Oh no. Today is the day I receive my first poke’mon! How could I forget? Now I am gonna be late! I can’t believe this! For all Poke’mon trainer wanna-be’s, July 18th was one of the most important day’s of their life. On July 18th, trainers receive their first poke’mon. If one lives in an Indigo League region, then their choices are Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander. If one lives in a Jhoto League region, then their choices are Chikarita, Tododile, and Cindaquil. Finally, if one lives in a Hoenn League region, then their choices are Treeko, Mudkip, and Torchic. June lives in a tropical country called Haniwa. Haniwa is made up of three major islands, each one being a different league. The first island, Indigo Isle, is June’s home island, and is obviously the Indigo League. Indigo Isle''''s neighboring island, Victoria Isle, is the Jhoto League. Last but certainly not least, is Hoenn Isle, and, of course, is the Hoenn League. June leaped out of her bed, receiving a slight shock because of the electricity Jolteon gave off, something she was used to. Dashing into her closet, June stripped off her pajamas, and hastily put on an outfit. She grabbed the bandanna she received for her birthday, and put it over her brown, knotted hair. "Oh no. I have to brush my hair," June grumbled, and reluctantly ran into the bathroom. Tearing the bandanna off her head, June grabbed a brush and ran it through her hair. After what seemed like forever, she finally managed to straighten her hair out. She tied the bandanna back over her head, and rushed downstairs, where her mom and her two sisters pets were. June''''s mom had heard her thumping downstairs and greeted her. "Good morning June, would you like some breakfast? There are waffles in the freezer if you would like them." "Uhhh, no thanks, I''''m not hungry. Err, never mind, I''''ll take a granola bar for the road," June replied unsurely. June''''s mom put her hands on her hips, "You weren''''t planning on leaving so soon were you? I''''ll tell you June; no one is going to be at that lab two hours early! Even if you were late, so was Ash, and look at were he''''s gotten with that Pikachu of his." "But mom, Ash was lucky that he was able to get a Pikachu, and all the trainers get to the lab early so that they won''''t be late," June moaned. "Don''''t you talk back to me like that! And if you are leaving now, then at least feed your sisters Poke''''mon," her mom replied sternly. June looked down at Jolteon, Vaporeon, Flareon, Espeon, Umbreon, Evee, and Pikachu. Evee gave June googly eyes, Espeon cutely looked her with a Leer, Flareon puffed a cute little flame, Pikachu, being the shy little guy he was, concealed himself underneath Jolteon, and the other’s starred June down. If only looks could kill. Finally, June gave in. "Fine." June went to the pantry, and grabbed a bag of poke'''' food. She poured it into all six food bowls, sprinkled some crushed poke'''' block onto the food, and put it away. Everyone started eating, and Pikachu snuck up to Jolteon''s bowl, grabbed a chunk of poke''food, looked at June, and scurried away. June giggled at the shy little Pikachu''''s actions, and turned to face her mom. She could tell that her mom was bravely holding back tears. June was the youngest in the family (13 years old), and the only who was starting on a Pokemon journey. You never knew what would happen on a poke’mon journey, so it was very dangerous. “Come on Mom, please don’t cry. I’ll be fine, and I’ll come visit you every once in a while.” “I know, I know,” her mom laughed through the tears, ”I’m just Mom, and my job is to worry, right?” She sniffed. June laughed pitifully at her mom’s sarcasm and felt her eyes start to tear. ”Mom, I’ll be fine, I promise,” June reassured. “I promise.” With that June hugged her mom, said her goodbyes, and headed towards the door. She heaved her backpack over her shoulder, and took a deep breath. Opening the door, June stopped, looked back at her teary mother and thought, Well, here goes nothing.
