Entry #02

  Thursday, 15 January 2044

  Okay, something weird’s happening. What the heck was today? I don’t even know what to say—first of all, Nanny’s still not back from wherever the heck she went. I even had to feed her poor Eevee before I left. More importantly, I called Mum this morning and she didn’t answer. I mean, she answered later—but that wasn’t an answer! If it were up to me, none of this would be an issue. I'd make sure of it too. Everything would be way better if it went my way—I mean, she was talking to literally everyone but me! Plus, I didn't get to tell her the craziest part about today:

  I actually saw Mesprit! Like, what? I should've taken a picture. I was so dazed I didn't even think about it—and the craziest part is I’m not even making it up! I bet Barry would think so, wherever he is now. He’s probably in Jubilife by now. I’m gonna call him just to brag, though he’ll probably tell me how much he doesn’t give a f…

  He’s really vulgar. Mum never liked that. She’d probably still be upset I’m hanging out with him since he might influence me. I still need to tell her I’m going to Canalave tomorrow with Dawn… maybe not, actually. She’ll probably tell me it’s dangerous going out or whatever. I mean, I get what happened to Dad, but it's not like I’m going into the deep wild—plus, anything could happen to me anywhere, so…

  Not that I don’t get her concern, but I have to leave home eventually. I mean, it’s not like she does anything but leave home anyway to be with Keira and frickin’ Dexter and those guys. Seriously, where the heck did Nanny go? Two days?

  Oh! What the heck was that thing outside? Too small to be a Staraptor—I mean, it had a sort of crest or head thing, didn’t it? It was probably a small one—yeah, a really small one.

  No, that definitely wasn’t a Staraptor. And why the heck was it following me, though?

  No, no—that’s not even important since...

  Something weird’s happening, man. That voice in that dream I keep having, plus—oh my gosh, that Cyrus guy and his Pokémon! That was crazy! I bet when Mum says not to talk to strange people, she means guys like him. I thought I was gonna die, man!

  This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

  I just realised I’m home alone.

  Well, I knew this already, but seriously, other than Nanny’s Eevee, it’s just me. Not that I'm not used to it. Barry would probably say, “Man up! You shouldn't need anyone!” or something.

  He's probably right. If I'm supposed to be a strong man—a strong trainer—then I'm gonna need to stop being a charity case. Like with Dawn today. If I can't even find what I need for myself and my Pokémon, what the heck kind of useless man will I be?

  What sort of man or trainer will I be if I can't get myself under control? That just reminded me of that Cyrus man's Houndoom—completely obedient. Straight-up under his control like mind control or something! That was epic! I mean, I was still too scared to do anything, but I won't act like I'm not curious as to how the heck he managed any of that, even with something as evil as a frickin’ Honchkrow!

  And how come Dawn didn't remember that guy in the shop? How come no one else did? Seriously, I can't stop thinking about it! What am I supposed to do with this box? I can't even open it. Well, I can, but… I shouldn't. Professor did say there's a time and place for everything, and I feel like this is one of those scenarios where I can't be rash. I'll just keep it on my desk for now, that way it doesn’t get messed up.

  Speaking of messed up, what's up with Dawn and Professor Rowan? I wonder why he's not letting her help as much as she wants. I mean, she's pretty cool. Except for when she's all like, “Let's go, let's go, let's go!” and all. I get having things to do, but maybe she can tone it down. I'm pretty sure we're the same age, so her being so… controlling? Whatever she's doing, it's weird.

  But she's a huge help.

  Anyway, this whole mission sounds like it's gonna be a lot of fun. Just imagine how many cool Pokémon I'm gonna see—first, I’m going straight to Solaceon Ruins, but I've gotta get strong first, so I'll head to Oreburgh… or maybe the school?

  No, that's exactly the problem! I need to be decisive and all that if I'm gonna be strong and firm and stuff. Okay, okay: tomorrow, I'll go to Canalave with Dawn, and then I'll go to Oreburgh Gym.

  That's the plan.

  That's all for today. I've gotta sleep early and wake up right on time. I've gotta get my act together.
