"The Beginning"

I'm DK Korinn. People said that a ten and a half year old boy like me, would never be able to travel through Korto by myself. Korto is a land like Johto, but much bigger. I'll show them. I'll show them all.
    "DK," my seventeen-year-old sister, Marie said waddling into my room. She was pregnant and could have a baby at any second. "Where's Mom? It's time!"
    I looked away from my laptop. "Time? Time to have your babies?"
    Marie nodded. "Where is she?"
    "She's at Blockbusters, renting our movies. Hold on, let me write her a note. get your Kadabra ready, so it can teleport us to the hospital." I wrote: MARIE IS GOING INTO LABOR. THE TWINS ARE BEING BORN. MEET US AT THE HOSPITAL.
    She pakced her duffel bag and grabbed one of Kadabra's arms. I grabbed the other. "Teleport, now."

I peeked in through the window. Two doctors were instructing for Marie to breath and push her stomach. As I started to go to the hospital cafeteria, I bumped into a pretty girl. "Oh, sorry," I muttered.
    "It's okay," she said. "I'm Erika. Haven't I seen you before?"
    I thought about it. "Oh yeah," I muttered. "You're in my Geography class. I'm DK."
    "DK?" she asked.
    "Darek Kalleielle. I hate my name."
    "Wanna grab a bite?" Erika asked. "I was gonna buy a slice of pizza."
    "Okay," I said. "My sister is going into labor, and I'm going to eat down here. I'll buy. I was going to get some pizza and tacos."
    As Erika and I ate our tacos and pizza, I looked at the TV. Professor Oak was talking on TV. Gary Oak Jr.
    "Trainers can choose from ten different starter Pokemon for their journey. There will be tournament for the Pokemon trainers and the winner will recieve a check for $50,000."
    "Wow. I already signed up," I told Erika. "Did you?"
    Erika nodded. "Just in time," she said. "When I signed up, there was only one spot left."
    "DK," Mom said coming into the room. "Marie just gave birth. Now you have a niece named Wanda, and a nephew named Calvin."
    "Cool, can I go see them?" I asked.
    "The doctor is washing them up, now," she said.

The next day, I met Erika at the park and we raced to Professor Gary's lab. "There you two are," he said. "Okay, choose your Pomemon and let's get on with the competition."
    Staryu, Pikachu, or Geodude? I thought. "I thought about it for a second. Pikachu," I said.
    "I pick Staryu," Erika said.
    "Okay," Prof. Gary said. "The first match will be my daughter, Wendy and her Totodile against Harold Wagure and his Zubat. After that it will be Bob Geroux against you, Erika. His Pokemon is Pidgey."
    "Totodile, Bubble!" Wendy said.
    Zubat dodged and used Tackle. Totodile fell backwards. "Ice Beam!" Wendy cried. Totodile used Ice Beam. Zubat was frozen and fell to the ground.
    "The winner is Wendy!" 
    Erika and Staryu beat Harold and Pidgey with an Aurora Beam. Two brothers named Karl and Cliff battled. Karl and Krabby beat Cliff and Chikorita. Lori Evans and Jack Cenavon battled. Lori and her Geodude beat Cliff and Growlithe.
    I was up next. Against a girl named Linda. Linda Taylor and her Drowzee. "Pikachu, go!" I cried. I was nervous.
    "Drowzee, Psybeam!" Linda cried.
    "Pikachu, Light Screen," I commanded, Pikachu glowed yellow, and the purple beam of light bounced off. "Now, Tackle!"
    Pikachu jumped up to tackle Drowzee, but Drowzee used Confusion, and Pikachu stopped in mid- air. "Pikachu, Thunder Wave," I suggested. Pikachu shocked Drowzee, and Drowzee dropped him.
    "Drowzee, Jab!" Linda commanded. Drowzee jabbed Pikachu in the head, but Pikachu landed on his feet. "Pikachu!" it yelled and shocked Drowzee hard. Drowzee fell to the ground.
    "Drowzee is unable to battle. The winners are Pikachu and DK!" I hugged Pikachu.

Karl and Krabby beat Lori and Geodude. Wendy and Totodile beat Erika and Staryu!
    "Okay," Gary said. "We have three semifinalists. Next will be the wild card match. We will pick a name from the hat. One of the trainers that lost earlier will be brough back to fight DK. The winner will fight Karl." Gary picked out of the hat. "The wild card winner is... Erika! The match will be held tomorrow morning at 11:25 sharp. Be there, or you'll miss out on the half finals, and then, the championship!"
