Castelia City Lights (Pokemon Watty Awards 2015)

Chapter 1

Soooo...NEW SHORT STORY! Yes, I know I write too many books, but I swear this one won't take long! It's only 6 chapters, and I've already written the whole thing.

Disclaimer: I OBVIOUSLY don't own Pokemon...but I wish I did :( that would be so freaking cool...

Claimer: I own ALL OCs in this story plus the plot. I thought of the whole thing myself. It's mine. Copy it and I will be very upset :( I've had too many problems before with my books being copied, and I'd love to avoid that from now on. Thanks~!

Read, comment, vote, and enjoy the story!

The little girl with short pink hair stood up on her tip-toes, folding her arms across the edge of her father's boat. She gasped and awed at the beautiful lights shining from the city across the water. A truly beautiful sight is what it was.

The look of the mesmerizing lights dancing across the blue ocean water made her smile, and it made her feel content. Oh how she wanted to live in the big city one day, one day... One day she would live in Castelia City. She would have her own place and a job at the column working side-by-side with her father. Just like him. She would be just like him one day.

"Aurelie and Parker Stone, the best Pokemon Column writers Castelia has ever seen!" Aurelie giggled to herself, imagining her inevitable fame one day.

She looked back across the water, spotting the silhouettes two Lapras swimming elegantly across the big blue sea. The city lit up the dark night sky, acting as the stars that once shone high above.

That was her dream.

Aurelie's dream was to live in that big city one day, working at her father's newspaper as a journalist. But, not just ANY journalist... She would write what her father wrote about: Pokemon.

A little girl could dream, right? But, unlike most eight-year-olds Aurelie's age, she was actually going to make it happen.

"Daddy! Daddy!" Aurelie dashed back into the captain's quarters of the boat, spotting her father writing at his desk.

Parker turned his head and saw his daughter leaping into his arms just in time. He caught her with a blissful laugh, repositioning the little girl onto his lap. "Aurelie... Next time, give me a little bit of a warning, would you?" He laughed, ruffling her short pink hair.

"Sorry..." Aurelie pouted, then glanced at what her father was writing on his laptop. "Oooh! Who's the lucky Pokemon for this week?" She curiously asked, craning her neck to try and read what was written on his laptop.

Parker laughed at his squirming daughter, moving her so she could see what he wrote better. "The Pokemon of the week is... Lapras!"

"Oh! Oh! Oh!" Aurelie was practically jumping up and down with excitement. "I just saw some outside! Come on! Let's go!" Aurelie pulled at her father's arm, dragging him towards the deck.

Parker just laughed, letting his little daughter lead the way. "Alright, Aurelie, alright! I'm coming!"

The twosome ran out onto the deck, gazing at the blue ocean before them. Aurelie pointed at the spot on the horizon where she saw the Lapras swimming off into the distance. "See, daddy? There they are!" Parker picked up his daughter so she could see better over the boat's edge. "Aren't they pretty?"

"Yes, Aurelie." He smiled down at her, patting her on the head. "They're beautiful."

Their eyes tore away from the Lapras, finding themselves staring at the enchanting Castelia City lights.

"We're going to live there some day. Right, daddy?" Aurelie pointed at the glowing city, looking up at her father.

"It's a bit expensive..." Parker sighed, then put on a happy face for his daughter. "...but, I promise you. One day, sweetie, we'll live there. We'll get a place in the city of lights."

"Yay!" Aurelie cheered, brimming with pure happiness and joy. "And then we'll both be journalists writing for the paper!"

"Yes, Aurelie." Parker smiled at his ever so cheerful daughter. "If that's your dream, then one day... I promise it will come true."
