The crowd thundered in excitement, screaming the names of the Pokémon trainers, encouraging the Trainers to battle their hardest. The stadium rumbled in anticipation for the coming fight. A metallic whirring sound revealed a stage, each on their respective sides of the field, rising from the ground, penetrating the exuberant night sky. An individual stood on each of the stages; these people were the Pokémon trainers. Reaching for a dual-colored sphere on their belts, the trainers threw the orb in the air. The sphere shimmered, and released a burst of red energy, quickly solidifying into the marvelous creatures known as Pokémon. The referee ran off of the field, assuming his position on the sidelines, and yelled, “Let the battle begin!” Pokémon, or “pocket monsters”, are extraordinary creatures, capable of marvelous things. Researchers have discovered hundreds of species of these Pokémon, but there are many more yet to be discovered. People and Pokémon live together in peace and harmony. Some care for them, others study them and their mysterious characteristics, and many live and battle alongside them. These people are known as Pokémon trainers. Pokémon trainers capture and collect Pokémon, train with their Pokémon, and battle other Pokémon trainers. Some Trainers even aspire to become Pokémon Masters, but it is a long and hard journey, full of challenges and hardships. Among the many Pokémon trainers, there was one who had just started her journey at the age of sixteen. For all of her life, she dreamed of becoming a Pokémon Master, and, finally, her dream was about to unfold into a spectacular adventure. A gentle beam of sunlight peeked into the still, quiet room through the open window. Light orange curtains swayed gently with... ... middle of paper ... ...pocket. She shook Professor Oak’s hand, and said joyfully, “Thank you so much, for everything, Professor Oak.” “Oh, it’s my pleasure, Miranda! Remember, always strive to learn new things, and always, always, do your best. Try your hardest. If you do, you can accomplish anything,” “I will, Professor, I promise!” she said as she headed for the door, waving goodbye to the Professor. She walked out of the laboratory, and stood on the steps. Barely able to contain herself, she jumped up and down, and squeaked, “Yes! Finally! My adventure is about to begin! Yay!” She ran down the stairs, skipping two, three, four steps at a time, and tripped at the bottom. She bounced back up, with a giant grin on her face, and exclaimed, “This is gonna’ be fun!” She hopped onto her bicycle, and made her way to Viridian City, the place where Miranda hoped to win her first Gym Badge.
Prior to the meteor, Pfeffer initially characterizes Miranda as an average teenager that embodies selfishness and apathy, but later reveals that these attributes do change. Before life becomes utter chaos, Miranda spends her time worrying about the things in her life like having “enough money for…skating lessons” (8) or “spen[ding] the weekend working on an english paper” (10). When Miranda is of...
“Thank you, sir. I just don’t understand what’s happening, this seems so surreal...Mr. Morris, Where is Lizzie?”
Competitive Pokemon first started in 1996, when the game first came out. Most casual fans picked up the games and went through it, enjoying the adventure and thrill of their first Pokemon journey. However, certain players saw strategies, combinations of moves, typing, and mechanics that led to a higher level of gameplay. Eventually, different rankings for Pokemon (tiers) were set up, Ubers being the highest (Mewtwo, for example), and OU (OverUsed) for more common but powerful Pokemon, such as Alakazam or Starmie.
“Nothing is too hard it just takes practice.” She told me “Try reading it outloud instead of reading it in your head.”
From the mind of an avid arcade game fanatic arose “one of the most popular children’s entertainment properties in the world,” (Poke, 2014, ca.). In 1996 emerged this property and still to this day continues to live up to its name as one of the most popular children’s on Earth; not only for those of the adolescence of today, but most especially those of the mid-late eighties and nineties who grew up to love and appreciate it from the beginning. Pokémon – as it is widely known around the world as – was created Satoshi Tajiri of Japan and is precisely the game being discussed. Nintendo, the world’s largest video game company based on income, owns the rights to this game. Being present day, this game has already reached its sixth ‘generation’ of the game as they are known as. Essentially, every time a new generation of the game comes out, they are seen to always come in pairs; one game brings the player upon one path with specific quests or guidelines to play by, while the other brings them through another, much similar, path with slight changes to the storyline. For example: in one of Pokémon’s generations there are two games known as sapphire and ruby. The main distinctions between the two are the specific Pokémon that can be captured in one game that cannot be captured in the other. To clarify, the title Pokémon takes on a sort of animal kingdom in the world of the game itself. Pokémon are much similar to realistic animals except for their supernatural, abilities or powers that they possess. Within the Pokémon world, they pretty much take place of real life animals. In addition, to clarify ‘captured,’ these animals can be interacted with in game and essentially captured and sucked into these very small spherical containers known a...
The Pokéradar is used to encounter the same Pokémon over and over again in a general area. It takes 50 steps to charge up, and when you use it, grass will start to shake. I recommend using a Max Repel, which will ...
Fight songs from the school band in the gym reverberated through the hallways. The students hooted and hollered as they filled the bleachers. Cheerleaders led the school and a collective refrain of the school’s fight song. Peter stood under one of the basketball hoops with the other teachers and watched as the student organizing the pep rally prepared the tug-of-war and dizzy bat games. The pep rally culminated with a game of knockout between the teachers and students. Beth walked into the gym and stood next to Peter.
Ruby waited hours for her results. When her results were back she was very nervous, then she saw the paper and was jumping up and down of excitement because she had passed the test! The next week her mom woke her up early and she packed Ruby’s lunch, for the first day of school. Her parents were scared of what would happen to Ruby but they also had faith she would do good.
perspective. The room is austerely decorated in period style with heavy cypress-green curtains on the back and side walls. The gold of the curtain tresses is revisited...
Sorry about the cut-off, but I’m going to keep my team a secret. The reason for this is the team rivalry. Yeah, I know the teams and the gyms are part of the game, but I think Pokemon Go is better off without them. I believe the point of Pokemon Go is to “Catch ‘em All” not “Battle ‘em All.
I found myself in the dining room observing everything and everyone. The dining room was set up to have an intimate feel to it. There were fresh flowers on every table and each table had some privacy. The

The fog was low, but he could still see her yellow porch light glowing brightly. The sight of her gleaming house bathed in light settled his nerves. It was warm and inviting, just like her. So he wanted to impress her, he smoothed his hair and tucked in his shirt. As he looked up, there she was, pulling
Inside the nicely decorated room with taupe walls just the perfect hint of beige, lie colorful accessories with incredible stories waiting to be told. A spotless, uninteresting window hangs at the end of the room. Like a silent watchman observing all the mysterious characteristics of the area. The sheer white curtains cascade silently in the dim lethargic room. In the presence of this commotion, a sleepy, dormant, charming room sits waiting to be discovered. Just beyond the slightly pollen and dust laden screens, the sun struggles to peak around the edges of the darkness to cast a bright, enthusiastic beam of light into the world that lies beyond the spotless double panes of glass. Daylight casts a dazzling light on the various trees and flowers in the woods. The leaves of fall, showcasing colors of orange, red, and mustard radiate from the gold inviting sunshine on a cool fall day. A wonderful world comes to life outside the porthole. Colossal colors littered with, abundant number of birds preparing themselves for the long awaited venture south, and an old toad in search of the perfect log to fall asleep in for the winter.
It was a bright sunny day, the sky was a soft shade of blue and there
