(This story is a cross between a biographical highlight {part of one's lifetime} and a fanfiction.I wrote this after the Forth of July {what I call "The Big 4"} to get a personal scope of a celebration honoring America's birthday.Yes,you can read this anytime of the year.)
In the past year,I described my vacation in New Jersey as "remarkably irresistable".It's more unforgetting than a trip to some Shop-Rite supermarkets,a Sunday Mass in St.Philip,or somwhere else that appealed to me since my birth.Nothing in my life compares to a miraculous trip to the small-town of Montclair,southwest of my house in Clifton.For me,it's just too memorable.
As I went down Valley Road (via a taxi cab) I felt something moist,slick,and nippy.I spotted a mudskipperlike creature with skin as blue as the car door.
"Who are you,amphibianlike creature?"I asked,"Are you a type of Pokemon?"
"Mudkip,Mud."the creature croaked.
"Sir,"I asked the taxi cab driver,"do you possess a Pokemon translator?"
"Why,sure,lady." the driver smiled.
He handed me the translaton device and I saluted him "thank you".I aimed the device to the amphibianlike creature and asked its name again.It responded to me "Mudkip,Mud." The translator beeped and made a noise typical to computers.It read,"I'm Mudkip,A Water Pokemon."
"Pleased to be introduced,I'm Tiffany Jane L.Alfonso.You can call me Whiz Kid."
But Mudkip slept and didn't respond to me,so I ignored it.
When I got to a shopping plaza (like The Channelside in Tampa,Florida),I eyed some people riding on Ponyta.They had hairstyles and clothing resemblant of the ones worn in Japanese animation.Holy Handel,I felt like I'm part of an anime!A Charmander dressed in a police uniform hollered "Char,Char!Chamander Char,Char Charman!!?"I got out of the cab and I got out the translator and I asked the Fire Pokemon to say it again.The compact piece of technology translated what it hollered.Charmander asked me why I was there.
"I came here so I can explore New Jersey.What's wrong with that
"Charmander,Char.Charmander." it sighed.On my translator,it said,"I thought you were a criminal.Okay,lady.You can go now."
I thanked the Fire Pokemon and bidded it farewell.As far as I can see,Pokemon came to the shopping center.Squrtle,Minun,Shuckle,and some others were there (except Clefable,who hates crowds).I wondered,"Is there a festival or something?" They ate drank and danced joyfully.I asked the woman in red what was going on.
"Today's the Big 4." she giggled.
"The Big 4?Is it the Forth of July?"
"Why,certainly!" she whooped.
"So that's why you guys are celebrating." I said.
"Yup!"
In the night sky,I saw a show with laser animation of Pokemon (and,of course,fireworks).The small Pokemon didn't mind the noise from the fireworks,but they kept their eyes on the sky.The show was truly impeccable!
A week after my vacation,I told my mother about the celebration in New Jersey with the Pokemon partcticipating.She said,
"That was really good!But I have to tell you that THERE'S AN ELECTRICUTED MOUSE ON MY BED!!!!!!"
I picked up the Pikachu doll from her bed and I saw a lot of Pokemon outside on my window.What do they want?Well they want to thank me for coming to the party.Mom didn't call them ugly,she just smiled at them and me.I'll never forget the Big 4 celebration in Montclair,New Jersey.
Ever.
