Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Burning Aura

The Awakening

As the sun rose into the sky signifying a new day in Striaton city. My stupid alarm clock rang, I woke up, still tired, and not wanting to get up. I walked over to my alarm clock and hit the reset button to make the thing shut up.

I took a shower changed into my clothes and rushed downstairs to see my mother's Gardevoir. I had greeted her with "Good morning Gardevoir. How's it go'in?" She had only said a few parts of her name in response. I then ate some cereal before rushing into the bathroom to brush my teeth.

As I brushed my teeth I looked at myself in the mirror. I could only see my face since I was so short. I hated being so small, no one ever took me seriously, and it was hard not getting trampled in a crowd.

I then looked at my red hair and brown eyes in hopes I could forget about my short slender body. I left the bathroom. I was about to leave my house but I noticed a note and read it. "Dear Emily,
We left on a buissiness trip and are leaving you here with my Gardevoir. Before we left though, I went out to get you both food for the week.We both hope you can understand why we left. Don't worry though we'll be back on Friday this week. Anyway try not to get in trouble while we're gone. 
Your mom,
Hillary.

About Eight hours later during the afternoon, I returned from school. It was exhausting and I was happy to finally be home once again. As I walked through the door, I greeted my mother's Gardevoir with "How was your day?" She repeated segments of her name as she spoke with a smile, which lead me to believe Gardivoir's day was great. Gardivior then pointed to me, wanting to know about mine. I replied "My day was good, nothing much happend."

I then walked over to the table near the kitchen and started my  annoying homework. Once I had finished, I went upstairs to my room.

Many hours later, it was night time and I was shocked. It only felt like a few hours to me. That's when I heard Gardevoir call for me (I thought anyways). I had quickly rushed downstairs to her. That's when I noticed Gardevoir made dinner.

Before I could get a plate, she pointed to the trash bag; my dirty laundry basket; and the mop along with cleaning supplies, all neatly placed in the corner.

It was obvious that Gardevoir would not let me eat until I did these chores. With a sigh of disappointment, I picked up the trash bag and headed outside for the dumpster.

Once that was done, I rushed back to my house. I then stuffed my dark clothes into the washer. I was almost finished with these dumb chores. Yet surprisingly, they had been going by fast for me though.

I was about to start mopping as I picked up the mop. That's when I heard Gardevoir call out to me. I looked her way to see two plates, both with the berries and vegetables Gardevoir made (My family are vegetarian fyi). I responded "Thanks  Gardevoir." as I walked to the bathroom to wash my hands.

I then ate dinner with Gardevoir. Once I finished I began to mop as Gardevoir headed upstairs to my parent's room. Eventually I mopped myself into a corner. Once that happened I went upstairs to my room
An hour later I went back downstairs to empty the mop bucket.

I layed on my bed exhausted from the chores. Although simple, I hated doing them. I wondered why chores existed. Why would people make chores? It didn't make sense to me. Either way, I was too tired and I tried to fall asleep.

I began to think of my daily life. I am very smart and had the privilege to skip a few grades, but I'm upset by this as my parents expected more from me. I longed for the chance to start a journey as a Pokemon trainer, to escape responsibility.

I already knew I wanted an Oshawott as my buddy. I also knew the Pokemon the gym leaders would use. I knew this by watching trainers beat and lose to the gym leaders. I knew so much it was as if I were a Pokemon master.

Unfortunately, I could not be a trainer. I was nine and would have to be ten to start my journey. Thankfully I'd only have to wait only twelve more days for my birthday, August the tenth.

I closed my eyes wishing that a deep sleep would bring me energy tomorrow. It wasn't soon before I fell asleep.

As I slept, I reopened her eyes to a dream. In my dream, I saw an endless sea of white. Nothing was in view, I'd just wanted to run in the endless white to see if anything appears.

As I marveled at my dream I was alarmed by a voice who said "Congratulations, you have been selected to save the Pokemon world. Now I just need to ask a few questions." I confused but stayed silent... waiting. The voice said "Question one: a test is coming up how do you study for it?" I replied with "I would study at every opportunity."

The voice then asked "Question two: A friend brought over something you forgotten. How do you thank your freind? immediately, I replied "I'd say thanks, but I would be causual about it."

The third question came and the voice said " Question three: Do you think you are cool? Be honest."
Quickly becoming cocky, I said "Well of course I'm cool! Give me a harder question."

The voice said " Question four: A delinquent is hassling a girl on a busy city street! What will you do?" When I heard this question I lost her sudden pride as thoughts and emotions surged my mind, finally I replied "I'd help even if the bully has an advantage."

The voice then continued with "Question five: "Are you a cheerful personality?" I brushed past the last question and I quickly regained my arrogance faster than I'd lost it in the last question, and replied with "Nope, I'm very sarcastic."

The voice then asked " Question six: Do you hate to be the last peson to leave class at the end of a school day?" Without much thought I said "Yes I do." As my classmates always called me a Slowpoke.

The voice then said " Qustion seven: It's the summer festival! Do you like carnivals?" I replied "No, I only play games at carnivals."

I grew bored of the questions, I then wonderd if the questions would end soon. I was wondering when I'd wake up. Then again I might as well enjoy the dream. I hate going to school so I guess this is an escape.

The voice said "Last question: Somebody calls you "weird but funny." How does that make you feel?" I remembered my annoying classmates and their dumb taunts at me and said "I would be very upset."

Compiling my answers the voice said "You are a very intelligent and hard working girl. However, the unique thing about you is that you are sassy, but when push comes to shove you will stick close to your freinds. A person like you is... A Torchic!"

As the voice finished it's sentence the white floor began to glow somehow and a brighter white engulfed my sight which caused me to yelp.
