An: Hello lovely person who is reading this! This is Sarah from 2019.I can't believe I wrote this like, 5 years ago. I promise if you read enough of this it gets better, I don't write horribly anymore. Anyway, enjoy my little project (:

~~~~~~~~~~

I wake up to the familiar smell of bacon. It never gets old. "Vallery!" I hear my mom calling. "Come on down its time for breakfast!"

"Coming mom!" I race down the stairs and run into the kitchen. The smell getting stronger with each step.

"Vallery Manson I've been calling you for 10 minutes!"

"I'm sorry mom, I just now woke up." I say as she places a plate filled with bacon, eggs, and sausage in front of me. I say grace and then dig in. Afterwards I go get ready for the day. I stare into my mirror. My messy brown hair is not cooperating. At least my blue eyes look awake. I quickly put my hair in a bun and put a black and white dress on. I do have my birthday party to attend to today. I'm turning 17. After I get myself dressed, I head to my living room to watch the news. Normally there isn't anything good on there, but it's something to keep me occupied.

"Vallery, how about your eevee? Does he want any breakfast?"

"His name is Finn mom, and yes thank you." I call Finn's name. I hear him answer and run down the stairs and onto my lap. He hates his pokeball, so I just let him roam around usually. "Does someone want some pokefood??"

"Eeeeveeee!" He runs off into the kitchen where my mom pours some food in his bowl. I watch him eat. He is everything to me. And he's also the cutest thing I've ever laid my eyes on. I turn my attention to the news.

"Ok back to you Katrina to cover this astounding pokemon battle." Oh cool. I stare intently at the tv, as some blonde girl commentates on this battle going on between a guy named ash ketchum and and a girl named misty yawa. Ash is killing it. I think misty is a water type trainer. And with ash's pikachu, she is getting creamed! I've always been into pokemon. And I've been thinking about going on my own journey, starting with the kanto region, where I'm from. I live in pallet town by the way. We moved here about 2 years ago because my dad got a new job here. He's a pokemon scientist who is on a business trip, so I never usually see him. As I'm watching the battle end, I'm interrupted by the sound of my mother's voice.

"Vallery, could you come here? I have something for you." Oh boy, what is it now. I get up off of the couch and walk over to her. She pulls out a red package with a yellow ribbon tied around it. She also hands me a blue envelope. Weird colors I must say. I first take out the card from the envelope. I read the message written inside. It reads:

Dear Vallery,

You are truly a strong, and beautiful girl. I can not believe I have watched you grow up so fast. It seems like yesterday you were so small, I could hold you in my arms. But look at you now, all grown up. Why, your almost old enough to vote! Anyway, did the colors of my wrapping give anything away? I hope you like your present. I think you really deserve something special. But be careful, once you choose, there is no going back. Thank dad too, it was his idea. I love you so much Val. Happy birthday.

-Mom

I give my mother a look. I can feel myself tearing up. My mom normally gives me funny-innuendo type cards. This was a real surprise. And what does she mean by "did the colors give anything away?" Oh well. I give my mom a huge hug and say thank you. I take the yellow ribbon off of the wrapped box. Then, I remove the red tissue paper. There is a box that is brown. I carefully open it up. My jaw drops. Now I know what she means by "did the colors give anything away." There is a fire stone, thunder stone, and a water stone, all sitting there. I look at my mom and she just smiles. I try not to cry.

"Pick one." My mom says. "The two that you don't pick I'll be giving to aunt Chrissy and uncle Rich. Since they both have eevees."

"Mom, these are so expensive, where did you-"

"thank your father." I smile and stare at the stones for a good 15 minutes before I make my decision. The way ash's pikachu battled really had an impact on me. I carefully take the thunder stone out of the box. I hold it in my hand tight, confident about my decision. I need to make sure Finn is okay with this. I call his name and he comes running. This could be the last time I see this cute little eevee.

"Hey buddy. I need to ask you a very important question."

"Eevee?"

"How would you feel about evolving?" I pull out the thunder stone from behind my back and show it to him. He sniffs it and then looks at it. Before I could do anything else he grabs it out of my hand and clenches his teeth around it. Blue orbs start to collect around Finn, and soon a burst of light erupts. Did it work? I call out his name. "Finn!" "Finn!" Smoke is everywhere, I can't see.

"JOLT!" Oh my god. He's a jolteon. The smoke clears after about a minute and I finally see my furry friend. He smiles at me and I smile right back. I give him a hug. I now know I am ready to start my own pokemon journey.
