Hmm... I'd say... end of June. I'll also extend the deadline for JC.
I'll be a cotestant. And it doesn't take that long. Just until the end of June is long enough.
My entry:
It all happened so fast all that time ago. I was just plain Ricky Rim, nothing too special an ordinary person. But that was before I knew…
I was at school so many years ago. That’s when things started to turn weird. First it was me being called down to the principal’s office on my cell-phone. And when I got there, the entire staff of the man office was gone. I thought it was just some kids playing a prank, not that big of deal, but then it got worse. When I tried to call my parents, the phone crashed. It went on like that whenever I used it but then it changed. I was cut off again. But instead I heard a voice. It was a deep voice. A threatening deep voice. I was scared as I heard the river of words flow into my head.
It said “, Hello Ricky Rim. Yes, we know your name. We know all about you. You have been selected for a special briefing.”
I interrupted “How did you get this number? And who are we?”
The voice continued “, that is all classified. Tomorrow at school go to locker 17158 and use the combination 21-36-47. If you fail to do this there will be consequences.” Just as I was about to ask more questions they hung up. I held the phone dead silent. Was this all a dream? Some person hacks my call threatens me and then nothing? This couldn’t be real. Instead I continued walking home thinking about what the “consequences” could be.
I walked into school like always and scanned the locker numbers looking the least suspicious as I could be. I had convinced myself to look for locker 17158 only because if the person could hack my phone then he could do worse. Much worse. 17156, 17157, here it was 17158. My entire body was shaking. My hand gently grabbed the knob and began to turn the numbers. 21-36-47. Then I heard a click like that of a lock. Not that of
a locker. Then I pressed up on the handle and then the door opened. Instead of a locker I found a hole. I bent over to look down but then someone must have slammed the locker because I fell forward the eliminating darkness of the hole. Finally I hit a soft mattress.
I was a tad startled at first but then I found people surrounding me, staring at me. They were whispering something like “, There he is…that’s his son?” Finally someone walked out to help me up. It was a kind man not too much older than 20.
“Hello there. I’m Nick nice to meet you Ricky,” he said.
“Ummm hello?” I replied completely scared, curios, and shocked at the same time.
“That should be expected,” Nick replied “, follow me.” Nick started to walk away and I follow him through the crowds of people staring at me. Finally we reached a room with all these high-tech gadgets and what not. Then Nick turned around and told me “, now Ricky, what you’re about to see is extremely confidential. And then he continued walking through another door. That’s when I realized that this was serious. No prank at all, serious, confidential, dangerous, and above all way too much for a normal 12 year old.
This room was different. There was a whole bunch of people managing computers. One who looked the most important walked over to me.
“Hello Ricky Rim, I’m Jeffery, and I’m supposed to inform you about your new life.” He told me.
“My new life?” I asked in a state of a shock.
“Yes, that’s correct. Your new life will be working for the government as a special agent.” Jeffery said to me.
“You want me to be a special agent for the government?” I asked now thinking I’ve gone crazy “, a 12 year old kid, not an adult?”
“We chose you for a specific reason, because of how your relatives have helped and done amazing things. “ Jeffery told me.
“My family? They’ve never worked for the government!” I said now wondering how psychotic all of this was.
“Oh, you must not know.” Jeffery instructed me “, well no matter, over there in that hallway grab a parachute.” Instead of arguing I did as he told and went into the air lock room and grabbed a parachute.
“Wait why do I need a parachute? I’m already below the surface of the earth?” I questioned Jeffery.
Jeffery replied “, because you’re being sent to a different world beyond your wildest dreams!”
“What?! Another world? No! I won’t do it!” I screamed. But then Jeffery hit a button and lights started t glow all around me. I started to scream “, This isn’t real! This isn’t real!”
But then I appeared in the sky with my parachute, no room, no Jeffery, but defiantly gravity. I started to fall down at least 1,000 feet in the air. I quickly pulled the chord and my parachute came up. I landed safely on some sort of landing mark. Then I fainted for some reason.
I woke up in a bed. Then some people came rushing over to me.
“You’re awake!” one cried.
Another ran over and yelled down the hallway “, Ricky’s awake!”
Then soon people started rushing into the room. They started whispering and then one said “, Come on, we want to show you something.” They brought me down the hall into a large room, with a man inside, a man I knew from long ago, one I thought was dead, that one was my father.
“Father?” I said almost scared to death.
“Yes son,” he replied in a soft and welcoming voice.
“But how? You died in the war!” I asked him.
“I never died son. The government wanted it to look like I died. But really I was sent here to work on a project just like you.” He told me.
I ran over and hugged him. I finally managed to find my father. So he never died, he was here but then I asked him “, Dad, where exactly is here?”
“I figured that question would come around soon enough. We are in the Pokemon World” he told me “, it’s a wonderful place unharmed by greedy people from our world. And it is inhabited by creatures we call Pokemon.”
Just then a Jolteon came into the room.
“Aaah!” I screamed “, what is that thing?”
“Calm down, it’s only a Jolteon.” he said to me “now say hello to Jolteon.”
“He-Hello?” I said still taken back about this strange world and these creatures called Pokemon. My father explained to me all about pokemon and I had lessons about them everyday. My father also explained I was to protect this world from anyone that would want to ruin it.
That was 4 years ago and now I am 16 as well as a trained specialist for the government with my handy pokemon Jolteon, Salamence, Fearow, and Kelceon. They all have attributes fit for undercover work. Jolteon and Umbreon give me power and stealth, Salamence also provides power and a quick get away, Fearow for the vantage point of a bird, and Kelceon for blending in and getting me updates on the situation. We were an unstoppable team. No criminal eluded us. The only person that was probably better than me was my dad and his Flygon. They were so strong they didn’t need to go undercover but could just waltz in and make them give up by brute force. He was my father, and my hero. And this is where my story continues except now I do not know what is to come.
I walk into the mission briefing room Jolteon beside me. I sit down and listen to a government agent explain the location of a crook. I look to see whom the mission was for. My father as usual. It was to capture a recently found out leader of a major gang corporation called Team Rocket. I see its ranked S the highest ranking. No wonder my father gets it. He was the only S rank agent here. Me second in line, a rank A agent. All the others were Bs and Cs. I walk out of my room followed by my father. I had been assigned a different assignment; it was to locate a supposed pokemon-capturing base set up by Team Magma. My father turned away seeing how I was about to say “, Good luck daddio!” to him. That wasn’t normal. He always wished me luck. It was like he was hiding something. But it didn’t matter I went on my mission like normal and succeeded marvelously. Finally I was to be ranked as an S rank agent.
Bu at my ceremony my dad dint’ show only afterwards did I go over to Agent Nickels and found out a disturbing secret.
“Hey Nickels, Do you know where my father is? He wasn’t at my ceremony.” I asked him.
Nicholas had a worried look on his face. He said to me “, No one has told you yet? On the mission your father told all of our secrets to Giovanni the leader of Team Rocket. He betrayed us. It turns out he was a double agent fooling us all, getting the most important mission to get the best facts. H deceived us all.”
I almost fell back. At first I thought it was a joke. But then I realized it would explain everything. Tears started running down my face. I ran back to my room and dived onto the bed sobbing. My heart had been broken. I decide that I wasn’t about to take this lightly. I packed all of my pokeball, some of my gear, and some food. Then jumped out of my window onto my Salamence. I knew I was violation of the rules, and it was considered treason, but I had to. I had to face my father alone, and bring him to justice. Because I knew now one could stop my father, except maybe me, because I too was now an S rank ex-agent.
I flew over the mountains tracking him down using every agents built in navigation system which could be hacked to find everyone’s location. Finally I cracked the code and found the location. I flew over there and found a Warehouse with the sign of Team Rocket on it. I stayed stealthy and watched from a nearby hill as an explosion blew the front door of the Warehouse open with Giovanni followed. Then my dad came out with his Flygon.
“Give me the money, now.” He instructed with a very fierce tone to Giovanni.
Giovanni acted like the spineless rat he was and said “, ummm of course the 2 million. Yours!”
My father replied “, don’t you mean the 4 million?”
“What?” Giovanni replied “, that wasn’t our deal, our deal was 2 million.”
“Oh really?” my father asked Giovanni with a smirk on his face “, perhaps I should persuade you. Flygon, use hyper bea”
“Ok Ok!” Giovanni pleaded “, 4 million it is. Just please don’t hurt me.”
“Now that you put it that way we can behave like gentleman,” My father told Giovanni so sure of himself.
Giovanni handed over the 4 million. My father then got on his Flygon and rode off. He wasn’t about to get away that easy. I got on my Salamence and started to ride after him. Finally I shot a hyper beam at him and sent his Flygon plummeting to the ground.
“Son?” he yelled at me furious “, you don’t know who you’re dealing with. Flygon, land us now.” Somehow the Flygon managed to land safely. It was very well trained. I got off Salamence as we hit the ground.
“Son. You don’t think you can actually defeat Flygon do you?” he mocked me.
“This ends now father. You will be brought to justice.” I responded.
“Very Well. Flygon, now use Dragon Claw.” He told Flygon.
Flygon flew at Salamence and slashed him everywhere.
“Salamence No!” I cried “,now use Aerial Ace followed up by Hyper Beam.”
Salamence retaliated with an Aerial Ace having Flygon crash down to earth and then a hyper beam followed.
“It’s over,” I told my father “, there’s no way Flygon could have survived that.”
Just then Flygon flew back up and used iron tail on Salamence knocking him out.
“Don’t be so certain son,” my dad replied.
Then I returned Salamence and sent out Kelceon. The battle went on every thing I threw at Flygon he just dodged and attacked. Now I was down to my 2 last pokemon, Jolteon and Umbreon.
“Don’t you see you can never win son?” my father told me.
“None of my pokemon can defeat it.” I said to myself “, Wait that’s it!”
I sent out both Umbreon and Jolteon.
“Let’s see how you do this time dad.” I mocked him.
“Flygon now use dragon claw on Jolteon” my dad instructed.
“Jolteon use Hyper Beam and Umbreon use Shadow sneak.” I instructed.
Flygon started to charge at Jolteon. But then Umbreon’s shadow sneak hit and it stunned Flygon for enough time so that Jolteon could hit dead on with Hyper Beam. Flygon flew backwards and he landed on the ground hard.
“Flygon get back up!” my dad ordered.
Flygon tried to get up but soon it fell back down again.
“But how? One Hyper Beam shouldn’t be nearly enough to penetrate Flygon hard skin!” my dad yelled.
“Don’t you see dad. This entire battle I’ve been hitting in one single spot. That way I new all the power of my last attack wouldn’t be stopped by the skin.” I told my dad.
My dad looked at Flygon to see a very badly hurt spot on its back.
My dad returned Flygon and started to run away in fear.
“Not so fast dad. Umbreon use Confuse Ray.”
I brought out my fully healed Salamence and I rode back to base. Their I dropped of my confused father. Nicholas came out to see me.
Nicholas said to me “, well looks like you did it.”
I replied “, I never had a doubt.”
Nicholas asked me “, you’re not going to stay are you?”
I replied “, no Nicholas. There’s a whole world out there for me to explore and I’m ready to enjoy it.”
Nicholas said “, I understand. We all want to do that. But promise me one day. Come back. And never forget us. But most of all Come back one day and tell us about the great world here. You were destined for much more than a government pordject, much more. You belong here. Have fun Ricky.”
With that I started to walk away into the distance. Now I could finally relax. I could live my journey in this amazing Pokemon World.
