Terri stretched and yawned as she sat up from bed, grinning as memories flooded back to her. Yesterday had been her 14th birthday....the day she became old enough to become a Pokemon Trainer. Of course she had wanted to get going right away, wanted to go and get her first Pokemon and set out into the wide world...she had never even left the town where she had grown up. Her parents however had insisted she stay for at least one more day. Truth be told, they weren't too fond of the idea of their daughter becoming a Pokemon trainer...though Terri really didn't have much idea why. Sure she hadn't met many trainers in her 14 years but she knew she had always wanted to be a trainer, ever since she was little.
"Ok!" Terri couldn't wipe the grin from her face as she went around to get ready, showering, drying and brushing her hair, having her breakfast and brushing her teeth, oblivious to the concerned looks that her parents were giving her the entire time. They wanted to tell her but....neither of them had the heart to risk ruining her dreams. She would find out the truth about being a Pokemon trainer soon enough.
"Bye mom! By dad!" Terri kissed each of them on the cheek as she adjusted her backpack. "I'll be sure to send you lots of letters ok? Now don't worry about me, I'll be fine! Really!" She grinned, hugging them both, before turning to go, practically running down the street. She couldn't wait to find out what Pokemon she would be given....each trainer was given a random Pokemon without being able to choose, an attempt to help starting trainers become more diverse.
"I'm heeeeeeeeeere!" Terri announced her presence loudly as she arrived at the local trainer center, right on time for her appointment, heading toward the new trainers room. "Ok...oh I can't wait anymore! Please please please! Can I have my Pokemon?" The woman behind the counter blinked, then laughed nervously, tapping a few details onto the computer, before a Pokeball rose up from a hole in the counter. "Alright miss, I'll leave you to get acquainted with your new Pokemon" The woman bowed, then turned to go, leaving Terri alone in the room. "Ok....time to meet you. Come on out!" Terri dropped the Pokeball in order to release the occupant.
