Saweet
is sweet for y’all that don’t know.
The next morning, he woke up around 6:30. He went
into his normal room. He could tell that his mom hadn’t woken up yet ‘cause it
was pitch black in his room. He felt his way across his room. He felt for the
light switch and turned on the lights. After his eyes had adjusted to the
light, he put on an all red T-shirt, a pair of denim jeans, a pair of black
wrist bands, and a pair of Running Shoes. He then logged into his PC. He had 3
unread messages.
1 was from the Pokemon League, saying that he was now
able to prepare for his Pokemon Journey. His 2nd message was from Cody,
saying that he’d called Mason to make sure that he knew about the plan. And the
last 1 was from Mason, of course, saying that he knew about the plan now that Cody’d
called him.
He checked the boxes next to the messages he’d gotten
from Mason & Cody. He chose to reply to those messages. He said “Hey, just
wantin’ to let ya know that the plan’s still on! Also, tell me what Pokemon
you’re gonna start wit. I’m startin’ with a Charmander!! Well, see ya at
school. P.S.: Let’s meet each other at the end of the street. Then we can walk
to school together. Later!” He knew Cody & Mason checked their email around
this time. So that’s why he sent his reply now.
Later that morning, his mom finally awoke. It was
7:22. His mom started fixing breakfast. She was fixing scrambled eggs, bacon,
sausages, the usual breakfast for the Mauphins. Steve couldn’t wait for
breakfast. He was starving! And school started at 8:25. Plus, he still had to
finish packing. And he couldn’t wait to get out of school in a couple o’ hours.
He just couldn’t wait!
After breakfast, he ran upstairs to his room and
grabbed his bag, as well as his shades. He quickly ran down to the living room.
He was about to rush out the door, when his mom called to him “Have a good last
day! I love you, honey! See ya in a couple of hours. Bye!”
“Bye, mom! I’ll call you if I’m gonna be late! Bye
again!” Steve called back. And with that, he was off to school for the last
time. He saw his friends waiting for him at the end of the street, just like
he’d asked them to.
“HEY, GUYS!!!! WASUP!!!!!” Steve called to his
friends. “THANKS FOR WAITIN’!!!!!”
“You don’t have to shout! We’re closer than you
think!! Oh, and your welcome!!!” Mason called back to him.
Once he’d gotten up to them, he asked, “So, what
Pokemon will you guys be starting with?!?! Oh, and I changed my mind on what
Pokemon I’ll be starting with. Not Charmander, but Dratini!” Steve announced.
“I heard those are really hard to train!” Mason
replied.
“Yeah!” Cody retorted.
“Well, I wanna challenge myself!!” Steve proclaimed.
“Well, I think I’ll choose….” Cody started. “…Bulbasaur!!!”
“I am definitely choosing Staryu!!! I’ll whoop
anyone’s ass!!!” Mason shouted.
“Whatever, just don’t get too cocky, Mason.” Steve
replied.
“Don’t worry, I won’t.” Mason assured.
“Oh, I worry!” Steve stated.
“I WILL NOT get too cocky, aight?!!” Mason shouted
angrily.
“Oh look, I’ve pissed him off!” Steve laughed.
“SHUT UP, OR I’LL, I’LL!!!” Mason threatened.
“You’ll what? Shove me to death?!!” Steve replied,
still laughing.
“SHUT UP!!!” Mason screamed.
“Ok, calm down guys. We’re gonna be late!” Cody interrupted.
“Fine!” Steve & Mason said in unison.
They just barely made it. It was 8:20 when they got
there. They quickly got to their lockers, which were surprisingly close to each
other, and put their stuff up. They quickly dashed to their classes. They
barely made it.
The next 2 hours went by rather quickly. His 1st
class was gym. He absolutely loved gym! He was currently on Basketball, which
was his favorite sport. He was 1 of the best athletes in his gym class. Him,
and his friend, Cody. They were fierce rivals when it came to Basketball.
They’d go 1 on 1 any chance they got.
His 2nd class was Math. He hated Math! He
had a D-! He was currently on multiplication, which was surprisingly easy for Steve.
He had an F before he was on multiplication.
After his Math class had ended, he headed for the
office. Mason and Cody arrived around the same time as he did. They went in and
asked to see the principle, Mr. Botchky.
“What would you 3 want to see me for?” Mr. Botchky
asked.
“We’re wanting to drop out of school to get ready for
our Journeys!” Steve replied.
“Are all of you at least a month younger than 10?”
Mr. Botchky asked.
“Yes, I’m exactly that. Cody will turn 10 in a week.
And Mason here is already 10!” Steve replied.
“Very good! Do you all have a note from 1 of your
parents or any guardian you might be living with?” Mr. Botchky asked.
“Yeah, here ya go.” Steve replied as they handed him
their notes.
“Very good, indeed! You may go now. I’ll erase yer
files. Good luck! And have fun!” Mr. Botchky called to them as they left.
Once outside, they started to head home. “Meet me at
my house in an hour!” Steve called to his friends as he dashed home.
By the time he’d gotten home, he dialed Prof. Oak’s
phone #. “Hello? This is Prof. Oak.” Prof. Oak answered.
“Hey, Prof.! It’s me, Steve!” Steve replied.
“Oh, hello, Steve! What do you need?” Prof. Oak
asked.
“I was wondering if I could reserve my 1st
Pokemon, Prof.!” Steve asked anxiously.
“Sure, Steve. What Pokemon would you like?” Prof. Oak
asked.
“I’d like a Dratini!” Steve said excitedly.
“Ok, let me see…” Prof. Oak started. “Well, Steve,
yer in luck! Look’s like we have 1 more Dratini! Would you like it in a month?”
“Yes Prof.” Steve replied.
“Ok, I’ll have it ready. Bye!” Prof. Oak hung up. Steve
did the same.
When his friends arrived, he quickly answered the
door and let them in. “Hey guys. Wasup!” Steve said.
“Nutin’ much.” Mason and Cody replied.
“So, what’d ya want us over for???” Mason asked.
“Well, first of all, did you guys reserve your
Pokemon?” asked Steve.
“Yeah, I did!” Mason replied.
“Me, too!” Cody responded. “So, did they have any
more Dratinis?”
“Yeah!!” Steve replied. “What about you guys? Did
they have the Pokemon y’all wanted???”
“They didn’t have any more Staryus. But they did have
a Poliwag.” Mason replied.
“They had no more damn Bulbasaurs!!! But they did
have a Growlithe left!” Cody replied.
“You didn’t answer my question!!!” Mason yelled.
“Ok, ok, calm down. Well, I wanted you guys to come
over so that we could go shopping for our Pokemon Journeys!” Steve replied.
“Aight, it’s cool.” Cody replied.
“I’m down.” Mason replied.
“Aight, it’s settled. We’ll leave in about 15
minutes. But first, Mason, let’s go 1-on-1 at Super Smash Bros. Melee!” Steve
said excitedly.
“I call winner!” Cody announced.
“Ok, it’s on!” Steve replied. Just then, Steve’s cell
phone started ringing. He answered it, “Hello?”
“Hey man, wasup!” it was Tony.
“Yo, wasup! So, what do ya want?” Steve asked
excitedly.
“My dad changed his mind! He said I could go on my
Pokemon Journey in a month! You know what this means?! I can go witchu, man!”
Tony replied.
“SAWEET!!!” Steve replied excitedly. “So, can ya come
over? Me, Mason, and Cody are gonna go shoppin’ for our Journeys! As soon as we
finish our little Super Smash Brothers Melee bout.”
“I dig. I’ll be right over!” Tony replied, and he
hung up.
“What was that all about?” Mason asked.
“Well, Tony’s comin’ along with us! For our Pokemon
Journey, I mean.” Steve replied.
“Awesome!” Mason and Cody replied.
“So, should we wait for him? Or should we go ahead
and start partyin’’” Cody asked.
“Let’s wait. SSBM just ain’t the same w/o Tony.” Steve
replied.
“Yeah, let’s wait!” Mason agreed.
Tony arrived about 5 minutes later. We quickly ran up
to my room. My Gamecube was already hooked up. “Name the rules.” Tony said
calmly, as if he would win by a long shot.
“You must choose a character, and stick to that
character. Six lives w/ a 3-minute time limit. Only stages that suite1 of the
characters that are battling it out. 1-on-1 only. 2.0 damage. All items except
Poison Mushrooms, Bunny Hoods, Starmen, Bo-bombs, Hammers, and Red Shells. And
no taunting. Got it?” Steve explained.
“Yessir, we got it.” Tony replied.
“Ok then, let’s get it on! It’s me and Mason 1st.
Then Cody, you’ll take winner. And Tony, you’ll take on that winner.” Steve
explained.
“Kay, now let’s get this party started!” Tony
replied, ready to battle, super smash bros. style.
“I am DK!!!” Steve announced confidently.
“I call Fox!” Mason shouted.
“I’m definitely Samus!!!” Cody stated.
“And I call Marth!” Tony announced.
“Aight, let’s go Mason! Or are you too scared to take
on the master?!” Steve challenged.
“No! I’ll take ya on!! And I’ll whip ya good, too!!!”
Mason shot back.
“Fine, I guess you do want yo’ ass kicked!” Steve replied. Steve and Mason both picked
up a controller (Steve picked up the black controller and Mason picked up the
platinum controller). Steve & Mason chose their characters. It would be Donkey
Kong vs. Fox McCloud. Steve then set the rules. They then chose a stage. Steve
chose DK Island: Congo Jungle. And Mason chose Star Fox: Venom. They tossed a
coin and called it. Steve won the coin toss. Congo Jungle it was. Steve chose
the stage, and it was on. Steve brought Donkey Kong over to Fox. He was about
to kick him, when Fox got behind DK and started to hurricane kick him. He then
started the Fire Fox. He guided it toward DK, landing a direct hit. He then
went over to DK and knocked him out of the park w/ a smash attack. DK now had 5
lives left. “Typical, very typical, Mason. I should’ve known you’d start off w/
a bang. But I know your strategy like the back of my hand. And I’m about to
take control, little man!” Steve shot at Mason.
“Is that so?!” Mason mocked.
“Yeah!” Steve shot back.
“Well, I’ve got news for you: you ain’t gonna ‘take
control’!!!” Mason replied angrily. Once DK regenerated, he quickly ran towards
Fox. He belted him one that sent him flying out of the stage. They were tied
with 5 lives each. “You’re gonna pay for that!” After Fox regenerated, he went
for a Home-Run Bat. But DK got it 1st. “Oh Shit!” he started to try
to stay away from DK. But he was quick. DK got a cheap smash on Fox, hitting
him out of the park. But foolishly, DK fell off and killed himself. As soon as
they’d both regenerated, the time was up. They both had 4 lives. It went into
sudden death. DK quickly got a smash on Fox, winning the bout.
“Yeah, I won!” Steve cried victoriously.
“Damnit!” Mason cried angrily.
“Now it’s you and me, Cody!” Steve announced. Cody
then picked up the platinum controller. They both chose their characters. It
would be DK vs. Samus Aran. They both chose a stage. Steve chose Past Stages:
Kongo Jungle and Cody chose Planet Zeebes: Brinstar. They tossed a coin and
called it. Cody won the coin toss. Brinstar it was. Cody chose the stage and it
was on.
“You are SO gonna lose!” Cody cried confidently.
“You’re just an amateur! YOU CAN’T WIN!!!” Steve
screeched. Steve brought DK over to Samus and started womping on him like there
was no tomorrow. He then backed up and started to charge up his Giant Punch
technique. Samus took this opportunity and fired several missiles at DK. Only 1
hit. DK then headed for Samus and landed his Giant Punch, sending Samus flying.
He then ran to the edge of the stage. He began a smash attack and held it so he
could charge it up. Samus did a double jump and then used her spinning
technique to get back to the stage. But before she landed, DK used the smash
attack, defeating Samus.
“Damnit!!!” Cody cried. Samus had 5 lives left. After
Samus regenerated, Samus quickly darted back and charged up her Charge Shot. DK
took this time to grab a Pokeball that had appeared on the stage. He threw it
at Samus. The Pokeball opened to reveal Charizard. Charizard started using
Flamethrower. It started to move its head from side to side while breathing
flame. Samus got engulfed in the flame. While this was happening, DK started
charging the Giant Punch. He got up close to Samus and let it rip. He sent
Samus flying once again. After this, time ran out.
“I beat you and Mason! I am DA BOMB!!!” Steve cried.
“Not so fast, you haven’t beaten me yet.” Tony
interrupted.
“We’ll see if you’re more than just talk.” Steve replied.
“You’re on!” Tony accepted. Steve and Tony chose
their characters. It would be Donkey Kong vs. Marth. They each chose a stage.
Steve chose DK Island: Jungle Japes. And Tony chose Special Stages: Final
Destination. They tossed a coin and called it. Tony won the coin toss. Final
Destination it was. Tony chose the stage and it was on. DK and Marth ran
towards each other. DK got a few hits on Marth. But Marth quickly took the
lead. He landed a couple of special sword slashes on DK. He then smashed him out
of the park. After DK regenerated, DK ran over to Marth and smashed him out of
the park. Tony was angry. He brought Marth over to DK and started slashing him
with his sword again and again. He then backed up and started to charge up his
special sword slash. DK came over and Marth used his attack, sending DK flying.
After that, time ran out.
“Darn it, I lost!” Steve screamed.
“Ha ha, loser!” Tony chanted.
“Shut up!” Steve replied angrily.
“Well, what’re we waiting for??? Let’s get the hell
outa here! To the mall!!!” Cody exclaimed.
“Yeah, let’s go!” Steve agreed. They then headed out
and started for the mall.
“Wait! Let’s go to Prof. Oak’s and get our Poke’Mart
passes 1st!” Cody suggested.
“Kay, let’s do that.” Steve replied. They then
started for Prof. Oak’s.
Once they got there, they went in and said “Hey
Prof., what’s up?!”
“Hey kids, how’s it goin’?” Prof. Oak replied
happily.
“Well, we were wonderin’ if we could get our
Poke’Mart passes.” Steve answered.
“Kay, I’ll go and get them for y’all.” Prof. Oak
replied, and he was off to get the passes. A few minutes he returned w/ the
passes. “Here you go.” he said as he handed them their passes.
“See ya, Prof.!” Steve called as they left.
“See ya!” Prof. Oak called back.
As soon as they got to the mall they split up and
agreed to meet back at the entrance.
Steve went to 1 of the clothing shops. He picked out
a pair of black jeans with a chain, a blood red T-shirt, a pair of deep red wrist
bands, and a pair of midnight blue biker gloves. He also got a red Trainer’s
backpack. He went to the front counter to pay for the outfit and backpack.
“That’ll be ₤2100” said the clerk. Steve paid and left.
Cody went to 1 of the major shops. He picked out a
white long-sleeved shirt, a pair of blue jeans, a black wrist band, and a red
Kansas City Chiefs cap. He also got a black Trainer’s back pack. “That’ll be
₤1500” said the clerk. Cody paid and left.
Mason went to 1 of the clothing shops. He picked out
a deep blue sleeveless shirt, a black T-shirt, a pair of black jeans with 2

counter to pay for it. “That’ll be ₤3150.” Said the clerk. Mason paid and
left.
Tony went to the biggest shop at the mall. After
looking around a bit, he picked out a silvery gray jacket, a bright red
T-shirt, a pair of blue jeans, a black wrist band, and a black cap representing
Jay-Z. He also got a black Trainer’s backpack representing
They met each other at the entrance, just like they’d

“Kay.” the other’s agreed. They headed for the
Poke’Mart.
Once they got their, they got 20 Potions, 20
Antidotes, 20 Burn Heals, 20 Ice Heals, 20 Awakenings, and 4 Escape Ropes. They

changed it to ‘Kanto Great Jams’.
“We now will give you “Breaking the Habit” by
(Breaking the
(verse 1)
Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I’m picking me apart again
You all assume
I’m safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again
I don’t want to be the 1
The battles always choose
‘Cause inside I realize
I’m the 1 confused
(chorus)
I don’t know what’s worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don’t know why I instigate
And say what I don’t mean
I don’t know how I got this way
I know it’s not alright
So I’m breaking the habit
I’m breaking the habit
Tonight
(verse 2)
Clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I have no options left again
I don’t want to be the 1
The battles always choose
‘Cause inside I realize
That I’m the 1 confused
(chorus)
(verse 3)
I’ll paint it on the walls
‘Cause I’m the 1 at fault
I’ll never fight again
And this is how it ends
I don’t know what’s worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity
To show you what I mean
I don’t know how I got this way
I know it’s not alright
So I’m breaking the habit
I’m breaking the habit
I’m breaking the habit
Tonight
After the song ended, Steve’s cell phone rang.
“Hello?” Steve answered.
“Hi!” it was Stacy.
“Hey, wasup?!” Steve replied happily.
“Not much. I asked my dad if I could with you guys as
long as I don’t start my Pokemon Journey! I have no clue why he doesn’t want me
to start my Journey. But at least I can come witchu. Who’s going with you any
way?” Stacy asked.
“Cody, Mason, and Tony!” Steve responded.
“Awesome! Well I’ll see ya later! Bye!” Stacy hung
up.
“Who was it?” Cody asked.
“Stacy, she’s comin’ wit us! She can’t start her
Pokemon Journey, though. Don’t know why, either.” Steve replied.
“That’s great!” Cody replied. By that time they had
gotten home to Steve’s house.
A/N: Well, what’d ya think??? R&R!!!! I’ll
probably update again within the next couple of days! C y’all!!!
