"Good morning, peanut! Time to get up!"
I rolled over in my bed. My alarm clock only said 8 am. "Mooooom! I don't wanna get up!!!!!"
"I think you will want to get up, Kimber, when you find out that you are going to get your first pokèmon today!"
"MY FIRST POKÉMON!?!?!?" I rushed out of my bed to get ready. It had been two weeks since my tenth birthday when I was supposed to get my first pokèmon, but mom said I wasn't ready and I had to wait. I don't know what I had done to change her mind, but it didn't matter, I was going to get the chance to go on my own adventure!
I grabbed all the supplies I would need on my journey, anything from clothes to berries went into my dark green duffle bag. Now the real question was what was I gonna wear?
I came out of my room wearing a bright pink tank top with a black quarter-sleeved jacket on top. I had a white mini skirt on with my black leggings, and my favorite pink high tops. Holding my hair back was a simple, pink, silk ribbon. I also had a pair of black fingerless gloves. "So how do I look?"
"Like I'm not letting you out of the house in that!" my dad gruffly replied.
"Daaaaddd! I'm growing up! I'm not five anymore!"
"Just because you are growing up doesn't mean that you can wear...that!"
"You just gestured to all of me!"
"Now stop fighting! Kimber is old enough to get her own pokémon then she's old enough to choose what she want's to wear, as long as she knows that she's gonna wear that throughout her journey!" my mom said intervening me and my dad.
"Yeah, now I gotta go! Don't wanna be late!"
"Breakfast, Kimber!!" mom scolded.
"There's a pop tart in my bag, mom!" I said as I dashed out the door.
"Ok....I love you be safe!" she called out after me.
"I will!" I yelled back in response, even though she probably didn't hear me. I raced across Pallet Town to the Professor's lab.
"Good morning, Kimber! I'm so glad that your parents are letting you have your first pokémon," Professor Oak said as he greeted me.
"I know! They are giving me freedom and it's the first time in forever!"
"Well follow me inside and I will get you a pokemon." I followed the professor into the lab full of so many pokémon. My heart began to skip a beat in excitement. I've been waiting for this moment my entire life! I would finally get to choose my very own pokémon.
"So here are the two pokémon that are left for you to chose. Our water pokémon, squirtle, and our grass pokémon, Bulbasaur," he explained as he tossed two pokéball into the air. Out of one came a blue turtle, and the other a green dinosaur thing with a bulb on it's back. "I'm not sure which one to choose. They both look like great pokémon," I said indecisively.
"You can't go wrong with either one you choose," Professor Oak explained.
I thought about it for a minute. "Hmm... both are really cool but I'm gonna go with bulbasaur!". The bulbasaur smiled wide in success, while squirtle ran off pouting.
" Good choice! I'm sure squirtle will get over it. Another trainer is coming by so he will be his. Anyway here are some pokéballs for your journey and a pokédex to identify any pokémon you might find.". He handed me six pokéballs and and a neon pink pokédex.
"Thanks Professor!" I said as I bolted out the door. I wasn't gonna waste a moment of this day. I'm going to make today perfect!
