[ WP ] It 's your tenth birthday and you 're finally old enough to get your first Pokémon . On your way to Professor Oak 's lab , and owl flies by and drops a letter into your hands . It 's from Hogwarts . You read the letter and realize you have a very difficult decision to make .

There I was, riding my bike to the Professors Lab. I was always ahead of the game when it came to excelling in what I do, so I actually got my bike before I got my first Pokemon. My mother, who was never really excited about my prospects, always said it reminded her of my father, actually had a smile on her face today. Thinking of the biggest breakfast she made this morning to celebrate my 10th birthday will always bring a smile to my face. The fact that she had not only packed my suitcase but her's as well was a little off putting, but who cares, `` Today is my day!'' As I pull up to the Lab and start to put a chain around my bike, I hear 2 other kids leaving the lab, ecstatic, they got the exact Pokemon the always wanted. `` Very good for them.'' I said with a smile on my face. I was always fond of seeing others happy, and the way this day has started has definitely taken the cake. Bikes locked up, time to check out this Lab. `` Hello Transparent, we have been expecting you.'' It struck me by surprise that he already knew my name, but then I thought to myself, I have exceeded in many of the tests, how does he not know my...'' You look startled, we know who you are because this is a town with only 7 kids, and the 2 other kids with the same birthday already chose their Pokemon.'' said the Professor. I smirk, and said, `` Of course, so what choices do I have today?'' He seemed to be taken aback by my question, but with out hesitation he said, `` Well you were a little late to arriving, so we have this...'' I walked up to the Pokeball, `` I choose you!'' To my amazement, I see a flapping fish on the ground. `` WHAT ARE YOU DOING?'' shouted the Professor. I looked up. `` Quick call it back, it can not live on land, it is a fish.'' Just then, before I called it back a note hit my head. As soon as I seen it hit the ground, I looked to see where it came from, and suddenly see my new Pokemon flying away in the mouth of some creature. `` Whats's going on, what was that? I asked. `` We have no clue what that was, what did it drop, there is still some of it on your head.'' I checked myself in the mirror, and yeh, of course, not only did it just eat my brand new Pokemon, it also left a gift on my head, with a note on the ground. I picked up the note and it read, `` To whom it may concern, 
 
 This letter was delivered to you because it is your 10th birthday. And since you were the youngest of the 3 kids to turn 10 today, you have been summoned to a magnificent school of Boot Camp. Here you will learn discipline and respect, Long days and very short nights await you.

 Already in disbelief, I hear the Professor talking in a distant mumble as everything around me grows gray. I need to speak to my mom, I need to know what this letter means. I walk outside, `` Hmm looks like rain, I should hurry ho... Where's my bike? Are you kidding me, out of all the days in my existence, this is turning out to be the worse.'' I get home about 6 hours later, to find a note on the door and the lights off. 
 
 Hello Son, I left. Here's a coupon to a free haircut. Take care.... 
 
 As the tears come to my eyes and the rage is starting to build I hear footsteps walking up behind me. As I turn around I hear, `` Hello son, I think you are ready to take over the family business.'' he said. `` Dad? is that you?'' `` Yes it is, I have finally returned to get revenge on those who had wronged us.'' Tears are now disappearing as a smile comes to my face... `` You could n't have picked a better time father.''
