Pokemon: Ryan
From Create Your Own Story
You yawn, as you slowly wake up. Outside, you can hear the pidgeys singing. It must be very early in the morning, because, while it is light outside, you cannot see the sun over the mountains. You open your eyes and glance at the calender on your wall, and suddenly, as you realize what day it is, you feel your heart pumping 5 times harder. Yesterday was your 16th birthday. And today, on the first full day of 16, you are ready to start your very own Pokémon journey. Yeah, yeah, you are aware that you are starting your journey a couple years late... okay like, 6 years late. But that's not your fault, that one is all on your parents. But you're a persistent boy, which isn't surprising considering your parents are as persistent as you. That's definitely where you get your persistence, from your father (who was persistently telling you that you could not adventure on your own until you were of age) and from your mother (who was persistently telling you that you shouldn't give up). This all led to today, you, adventuring on your own 2 years before coming of age (haha, suck it dad. Just kidding, love you old man.) You. Ryan Yoshizumi, finally going out on your own.
You sit in bed for a couple minutes, just thinking about all the grand adventures you were about to have. Would it be hard? Yes. Would you miss your home, your family, your friends? Heck yes. Would it all be worth it in the end? Definitely.
Your alarm clock rings at 7. It's strange to think that this is the last time your alarm is going to ring in the morning. This is the last time that you are going to hear the familiar chimes it sends out to wake you up. This is the last time you're going to roll out of your bed. The last time you're going to make it. The last time you're going to shower in the shower you've always know, the last time you're going to get dressed, the last time you're going to look at your room. (At least, until I come back.) You take one last glance at the room that you have always known before flipping the light and closing the door. After a moment, the door opens, and you come running inside, grabbing your backpack, and then closing the door.
