"BEEP! BEEEP!" The alarm sounded. Kevin literally exploded out of his bed and crashed onto his bedroom floor.
"Stupid alarm clock!" He grunted, smashing the button to make the annoying sound stop. "(Yawwwn) Maybe I'll just rest my eyes a little longer, and get up in a couple...m-min-(snort-whistle-snort-whistle)" Kevin rested his head a fell into a deep sleep right there on the floor.
-------
"KEVIN! WHAT ARE YOU DOING, GET UP RIGHT NOW!" A voice screamed in his room. Kevin slowly opened his eyes, looking around to see what all the commotion was. He looked up to see his mom running around his room, and pulling out his clothes. "What have you been doing sleeping all this time? Didn't I set your alarm this morning?"
"Jeez Mom," I grabbed my head, nursing a headache, "Not only did you set up an alarm thats louder than a firetruck, but do you have to run in here and act as my own personal siren?"
"Don't you take that tone of voice with me young man." She wagged her finger. "You know very well that today's the day the Professor Elm comes back to town and starts giving out pokemon. We both agreed you'd get up early so you could get there before the place turns into a madhouse. Besides, you're the one whose been begging me for a pokemon."
"What?" He jumped up. "Wait, you mean that's today? I thought it was tommorrow. Oh no, than I've got to get out of here. Like, now!"
"Well I always tell you son," She continued, "Early to bed, Early to rise. But do you ever listen to me? No of course not. It's always--huh?" She looked up to see that Kevin had already left the room. "ohhh, that son of mine.
After Kevin quickly slipped on his clothes, he zipped down the stairs and began his way out the door. Just before he made it off the front steps, he remembered something. "Oh right," He stopped and ran back inside, grabbing his white and green cap with traditional orange pokeball sign on it. "I can't for get my cap for goodluck." He then ran back out the door and down the street to Professor Elm's laboratory. Once he got there he noticed no one was around. This surprised him. He expected for this place to be crowded. Afterall, this was the day the great Professor returned. That wasn't the only weird thing. The door was opened too. Kevin walked up the steps and right inside. "Um....Helooo?" He called out. "Anyone home?"
"Yes.' A voice said startling Kevin. He turned to the right to see Professor Elm himself standing right beside him looking completely wiped out.
Yikes!" He jumped, "Y-y-you're THE P-Professor Elm. And you're standing right here, n-next to me. It's like a dream. I-I mean an honor. S-such an honor. heheh."
"Don't be nervous young man." He said struggling to get up. "You'll have to excuse me though. I've dealt with so many trainers this morning, that I'm completely wiped out. But it's good to know that there are some people like you who just stop by to say hello. Isn't that right?"
"Um...heh," He hesitated, "Actually Professor, that's why sort of why I came here too."
"Whaaaa?" He exclaimed in disbelief, falling back in his chair.
"I'm sooooooo sorry Professor Elm. I completely and totally understand. I'll even go back home if you want. I shouldn't have disturned you anyway, that was wrong of me too. I'm really sorry Professor. Maybe I'll come back tommorrow, or if that's too soon than maybe next week. Or Possibly the week after, or the week after that or--"
"No no, I'm afraid you're misunderstanding me." He sighed, "I was hoping something like this wouldn't happen, but you see son, I'm afraid you're too late."
"T-too late? What do you mean?" All of the excitement inside him suddenly froze.
"I knew today I was going to be swamped with new trainers," He explained, "so I brought as many Johto starter pokemon back with me as I could. But there is always a limit. So as you can probably guess, I wasn't expecting anyone else extra, so I gave away my last pokemon to a trainer about an hour ago...."
"Oh...I see," Kevin's head suddenly became very heavy and sunk to the ground.
"I'm very sorry young man."
"N-no. Don't be sorry." He tried to talk over the lump that was growing in his throat. "I-It's my fault Professor. I-I should've been more responsible a-and gotten up when I was supposed. I'm sorry to have wasted your time."
"Hm..." Professor Elm sat deep in thought, as Kevin began to walk out of the door. It was then that he got an idea. "Wait! What did you say your name was again?"
"Huh?" Kevin looked up from being a bit distracted. "Oh, sorry. It's Kevin. Why?"
"Well Kevin, I think I may just have something for you. Follow me." Professor Elm turned around and began to walk deeper into the lab. Kevin walked inside and closed the door behind him. He followed the Professor until they reached a big room filled with computer and machines that Kevin would probably never understand until he was 30. The Professor stopped and turned to his desk where there was a big metal box. Kevin finally wanted to know what was going on.
"Professor, what's all this about?" Kevin asked, watching him open the box.
"I was thinking, you might have gotten here late, but somehow you do strike me as a responsible young man." The Professor picked up the box, and slowly walked over to Kevin with a serious look on his face. "Listen to me Kevin, inside this box is something very very important. It's something that I did not dare trust any of the other trainers with. Back there, you could've thrown a tantrum and yelled at me until I gave you a pokemon. But you didn't. You excepted your faults and showed maturity far beyond your age. Which is why, even by only knowing you for a mere 5 minutes, I know you are strong enough to handle what is in here." Kevin's heart began to race as the Professor placed. He was getting a second chance now. As his mind wondered of all the amazing pokemon that could be in the box, he sat down and pulled out what was inside. It was nothing like he had imagined, it was even better. Inside Kevin's hand was a real pokemon egg!
"A POKEMON EGG!" Kevin practically exploded from joy, almost dropping the egg out of his hands, but catching it once again. "Professor, where did you get this?"
"On my way traveling back home last week, I ran into a nice old woman." He explained, "She told me she was getting too old to continue her breeding center. So she gave it to me for safe keeping. And now, Kevin, I'm giving it to you. I'm trusting you with this egg."
"I-I don't know what to say..." Kevin sat speechless staring at the egg.
"Just promise me, you'll always take care of it. Promise me Kevin."
"Yes, I Promise Professor." Kevin nodded standing up. "I don't know how I could ever repay you.."
"Just by giving love to the pokemon inside here." Professor bent down to him, "Kevin, the pokemon inside here may not be what you expect. It's going to need lots of love. Can you give that to it?"
"Of course I can Professor. You can count on me."
"Good, than you better get out of here and start on your way if you don't want to be traveling at night."
"Right!" Kevin picked up the egg, and began running towards outside again. He waved back to him, "Goodbye Professor Elm, and don't worry, I'll take good care of this egg. Thank you so much!"
"Goodbye Kevin!" The Professor waved back. A warm smile came across his face as he saw the happy new trainer run out of his lab and to a new adventure.
.....
Instead of walking, Kevin ran all the way back home, eager to start on his new journey, while also careful to nurse his egg under his arm. He busted the door open and called out to his mom. "Hey mom! Where are you? I gotta get going!" He said as rushed into his bedroom, and put on his backpack, which was packed the night before.
"I'm down in the kitchen honey!" She called up to him. Kevin excitedly hopped down each stair then ran to his mother. "Okay, now let me see this new pokemon of yours!"
"Actually mom, I didn't get a pokemon." He snickered, "I got something even better. Check this out!"
"Oh..." His mom said puzzedly as she looked at the egg. "Thats very nice I guess sweetie. But your going on a pokemon journey. You need a pokemon."
"I know what you're getting at mom." Kevin stated firmly, but you promised me that I could go today. And Professor Elm made me promise him to love and care for this egg, and thats exactly what I'm going to do."
"Fine," She sighed, "I suppose there's no stopping you once you get motivated. But I want to give you something first."
"What is it?" He asked as his mom reached into her bag and pulled out an old scarf. "Er.....a scarf?"
"Sewed every part of it myself." She smiled and nodded.
"Um...mom, it's 70 degrees outside..."
"I know, but it gets cold out there in the world, alone. And you already have that hat of yours from your dad, and I just want you to have something to remember me by."
"Haha, thanks alot mom." Kevin smiled putting it around his neck. "So, how does it loo-WAH!" His mom embraced him in a big hug.
"Are you sure theres nothing I can do to make you stay?"
"Mother," Kevin giggled. "I'm going to miss you too, but please, it's time to let me go."
"Wow, you're beginning to sound more like your father everyday. Well then, I suppose theres nothing else I can say but, good luck. And I love you Kevin. With all of my heart."
"I love you too mom." He smiled as his mother gave him a kiss on his cheek. They both waled out of the door in silence. Just as Kevin was about to split from her, his mother engulfed him in another hug. "MOM!"
"Sorry, just a reflex." She giggled. "Goodbye my son!"
"Bye mom!" Kevin waved, walking out of New bark town until his mother was completely out of sight. He then looked down at the egg and imagined all of the wonderful things that would son becoming out of it. The adventure begins now.
"Stupid alarm clock!" He grunted, smashing the button to make the annoying sound stop. "(Yawwwn) Maybe I'll just rest my eyes a little longer, and get up in a couple...m-min-(snort-whistle-snort-whistle)" Kevin rested his head a fell into a deep sleep right there on the floor.
