CHAPTER 1 - The Beginning
~ Gael Darcy ~
Gael grunted and moaned and woke up violently as soon as a handful of sunrays hit his face. Squinting his eyes he looked up to see the cause of it… that's when he noticed the figure of a female lady standing next to the window. "Mom?"
"Yes, sweety?" she answered with a comforting beautiful voice, completely unaware of the annoyance she had caused.
"WHY did you open my window?" Gael continued unable to yell in his drowsy state… he has this bad tendency of always sleeping facing the window, so this tended to be a problem.
"Well, it's a beautiful summer day out there, and I felt bad leaving ALL this sunshine go to waste" she answered simply and naively.
"CAN'T YOU SEE I'M SLEEPING!!!" Gael burst as he began to kick the air prompting his mom to leave the room. He calmed down rather fast though, and proceeded to just lie in bed facing up at the ceiling: Today I finally get my first Pokémon… it's been a while but I'm so excited it's finally here. He then proceeded to get up and get dressed; he put on a pair of tight jeans, a white belt, and a bright orange shirt, as well as three other shirts, a bright green one, a purple, and a cyan which he put in his checkered backpack. Lastly he took his white TapouT cap, and put it on a 45 degree angle to the right.
As he headed downstairs he noticed his mom cleaning up the living room, and went up to her and kissed her in the cheek. "Someone's in a better mood now!" she joked, and Gael chuckled. Sometimes he felt bad that his mom acted so air-headedly, but she knew how to make people feel better. "Alright, come here so I can give you my blessing" she said as she pulled her son towards her, did the sign of the cross, and kissed him in the forehead. "There you go… your brother already left by the way... he went to see his girlfriend"
"WHAT!?" Gael asked startled, "why didn't he wait up for me?" he asked his mom.
She only giggled a bit and told him: "Well, weren't you the one who last night said you should be rivals?"
"True." Gael responded "… well, can't let him get too far ahead now can we?" he said as he went back to the kitchen and downed an orange juice, and another glass of chocolate milk in an instant.
"Gael! You know it's bad to drink milk AND orange juice!" his mom yelled as the fifteen year old ran away from her.
At the door, Gael put on his Sambas, and as he left the house, the first sensation that came to him was the salty smell of the high morning tide. He and his family had moved out from Polytropolis to here when their parents divorced since their mother didn't have enough money to continue living there… it was nice in here, but you can't compare it to the big city. Gael made his way to the pier where he stayed staring at the southern horizon ready for whatever lay ahead in his path to become the best. Looking up he agreed with his mom: "I guess this IS a really nice day."
It wasn't until a couple of hours later when he actually got up and decided to go to Prof. Orchard's house. I wonder if Diego is already there.
