Part 1: Adventurer Protagonist
The sound of my alarm clock brought me right out of my slumber. I shot out of bed and dashed into the bathroom, rushing through my normal shower. Afterward, I quickly got dressed and grabbed the backpack I’d prepared the night before, and ran down the stairs two at a time. I threw a couple pieces of bread into the toaster… And waited… Ugh this was taking forever!
“Excited to get going, are we?” My mum said as she stepped into the kitchen.
“Of course!” I replied. “The professor’s giving me my first Pokemon today, you really think I could sit still?” Mum’s gaze shifted down to my torso.
“Look, sweetie, I know you’re excited, but you could at least take the time to dress yourself properly. Your shirt’s on inside-out.” I glanced down at my chest and sure enough, plain black fabric stared back. I quickly removed my shirt, inverted it, and put it back on, revealing the Lycanroc pattern printed on the front. I’d loved those Pokemon ever since I saw a documentary on Pokemon in the Alola region, and I was gonna train one someday.
“Honestly, are you even going to be able to handle a Pokemon journey on your own?” Mum said, her expression turning to one of concern.
“Hey, mum, it’ll be fine.” I said, hugging her. “Plenty of people even younger than me do this. I’ll be fine. Besides, you know I won’t be alone.”
“I know, I just can’t help but worry.”
“I know mum.” We were jolted out of the moment by the pop as the toaster finished its work. I grabbed the toast and headed to the front door. “Bye mum I love you I’ll come back to show you the Pokemon I get before I leave bye!”
“Bye sweetie!” I closed the door and jogged off down the street towards the professor’s lab, shoving toast into my face as I went.
