“Tyler! Don’t go into the forest at night! It’s dangerous! What if a wild Pokémon attacks you?!” Mom Scolded me.
”I’m sorry mom...” I whined. “I just wanna be strong like all my other friends are!”
“I understand that, but is it worth risking your life?!”
We argued back and forth, but a minute into it, my mom’s Pokémon, Gothitelle, stood between us and stopped our argument.
“This is your final warning, Tyler. Don’t go into the woods on your own!” With that, she sent me to bed.
I live at home with my mother and her Gothitelle. My mom owns a battle program where she teaches other trainers to use psychic type moves and fight against them. I’m only 7 years old, and mom doesn’t think i’m ready for a Pokémon yet, and I refused to accept that.
That night I left house while she was asleep. Gothitelle stared me down as I snuck out, but she didn’t stop me, which was weird. I tried not to think about it that much.
I walked into the woods through my back yard, and pointed my flashlight from side to side, making my way through the dark forest.
I was scared, but I faced my fears, and continued walking through the dark forest.
*Rustle Rustle*
Suddenly a bush shook, and i jumped, and let out a little scream.
“Ah!” I fell backwards, dropping my flashlight. The light flickered, then shut off. I held my knees to my chest and prepared for the worse, but nothing happened.
I heard the cry of a Pokémon and looked up to be greeted by a ghost type.
It looked me in the eyes and smiled, then nudged my flashlight over to me, i picked it up and turned on the flashlight.
“T-thank you..” i wimpered. The Pokémon smiled again and hopped around in the air for a few seconds. I tried to identify the Pokémon off the type of my head, and realized it was a Ghastly.
“Ghastly, thank you!” I said, smiling.
The Ghastly smiled again, but flew in front of me when something started walking towards us.
I flashed my light in the direction of the walking and screamed when I saw the Pokémon. It was a Pinsir!
“Ah!” I yelled. Ghastly turned to me and give me a nod. “Ghastly... you want to protect me..? Okay! Let’s do it Ghastly!”
Ghastly faced the Pinsir, and prepared itself. “Okay Ghastly, use Shadow Ball!”
A blob of shadow formed in front of it, and flew at the pinsir, knocking back. The pinsir’s horns lit up, and it charged at Ghastly and I.
“Ghastly!”
“Now, use psychic!” I heard my mother call out. My mother’s Gothitelle appeared from the side of us and used telekinesis on the wild Pinsir, lifting it into air. “Now use mean look!”
The Pinsir, started freaking out, and ran away.
“Tyler are you okay?!” My mother ran over to me.
“Yeah, thanks to Ghastly!” I said.
“I thought I told you not to come out here! You’re in big trouble!” At that moment, Gothitelle tapped on mom’s shoulder, and looked her in the eyes. “I see... Tyler, maybe Ghastly would like to be your partner?”
I smiled and turned towards Ghastly. “Ghastly... will you be my Pokémon?”
The ghastly smiled again and let out a cry, and from that moment on, Ghastly became my first Pokémon.
