Running all the time with no time for a breather. Having the world stop randomly. Traveling the country in a matter of hours. Having no contol of what would happen to you. ...And having your life scripted. What would happen if the video game fought back? *** What's going on? Where am I? It's dark here...wait! Is that a...spotlight? "Hi! Sorry to keep you waiting!" Huh? Before me stood someone in a white lab coat. An overweight some one in a lab coat. A doctor of some sort? Before I could say anything, he began to talk, but too fast for me to understand. After every sentence or so I could hear a beeping noise. I cought enough to gather he was a Pokemon Professor. Should that mean something to me? The beeping slowed a little as a red and whire orb materialized in his hand. A blus mousey thing sitting on its swollen tail popped out. "This is what we call a POKeMON," he said. Good for you, I don't care, I thought. The beeping picked up again. From what I barely caught, there were many of those things in this world. So there were more blue mice running around in this blackness? "And you are?" The light moved from him to me. "And you are? Are you a boy or are you a girl?" "Are you brain-dead?! Obviously I'm a--" I almost screamed. He realized I was a girl, then said,"All right. What's your name?" A beep. "So it's Marina?" Another beep. "Are you a boy? Or are you a girl?" This is weird. W've been through this before. I'm-- Two beeps. Suddenly I was in a white box next to the words,"YOUR NAME?" Below me was a green box full of letters. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't stop walking and no matter how long I walked I never got anywhere. Letters appeared next to me. A-P-R-I-L April? That's my name? I knew it was a month but I could have sworn it was Ma-- "So it's APRIL?" More beeps and fast talking. I'm seriously getting fed up wi--Hang on! Moving?! I don't want to-- I could feel myself shrink, then heard engine noises. Looking at all the boxes, I came to the realization that I was on a moving van. This just isn't my day. There was a CLAK! and CHA-chUNK! and light streamed in through the open doors. Natural light. No spotlights. I hopped out to end up in front of a dinky little house. I feel sorry for the sap that lives here. A woman stepped out. From what I gathered of her rapid-fire dialouge, this town was LITTLEROOT. And this was our new house. Oops. Anyway, I was unimpressed with the town. Quaint didn't begin to cover it. We stepped inside the house. One Machoke was doing Lord knows what to the TV, and another one was walking back and forth aimlessly, carring a box. I stood in front of it. "Hey, pally--!" I began. "Gwagwah gwah!" it said. "Ummm, shouldn't it be more like 'chokchoke choke' or something?" "Gwagwah gwah..." I went back to MOM. "That lazy thing is--" "See APRIL? Isn't it nice in here too? Now go set your clock." I sighed and went up stairs to see about this clock...
