This was just great! Now when I had finally decided what my Pokémon was going to be, 
Mudkip, Professor Birch was gone. 

I had decided to choose Mudkip because not only did I love puppies, but it could have 
helped me with the fire back at the factory.

"Professor Birch said…" before the assistant could finish, I ran out the door thinking that 
he might possibly be at the Factory. "Sorry, I gotta go!" I said rushing out the door once 
again to the factory.

When I got to the factory I saw Professor Birch there. He was helping out with the 
injured people. "Professor Birch, I went to your lab but one of your assistants told me you 
would be in an errand."

"I'm sorry Mario, but you and the other 2 trainers will have to wait till tomorrow to get 
your Pokémon. I was the only one in town with a water Pokémon, and they needed all the 
help they could get, so I was obligated to help. Now if you are to be so kind as to step 
back…"

As I stepped back I saw a burning trunk of wood fall on the Professor! Everyone rushed 
to help him; it was minor damage seeing as though they got him to safety to immediately. 
The Professor was injured, and now he couldn't help out with the Pokémon he brought to 
help.

"Look in my bag!" he said struggling to get up, but they held him down for he had to rest. 
"Look in my bag!" he said again, "Take the Pokéball and help out the best way you can. I 
trust you can make me proud and help. You can do it!"

I took out a Pokéball from his bag, "Pokéball go!" I said throwing a Pokéball to the 
ground releasing a white shimmering light that slowly revealed itself to form into a small 
puppy shape.

"Mudkip, use your Water Gun attack!" I ordered. Mudkip obediently used a powerful 
Water Gun capable of knocking down a tree!

I watched at how powerful Mudkip was, and that hopefully I got that Pokémon to train 
and respect.


Mudkip quickly burned out the fire. I recalled him and put it back in the bag. I couldn't 
believe I had just trained a Mudkip!

I saw an ambulance come rushing in. They took several injured workers to the hospital 
including Professor Birch for minor injuries. He called my name and I obediently went to 
the cart where he laid. "I'm proud of you!" he said, "I know you'll be a great trainer. I 
look forward to seeing you tomorrow!" After his last words, they closed the door and 
rushed him to the hospital.

I stayed up till 12:00 that night, till the fire was down to a mere flame. I went home and 
sat down in the living room couch. Channel 4 News came on with the braking news. 
They also announced that Pokémon were to be held till the following Monday morning. 
With that said I went up to bed and instantly fell asleep after a tiring day of work.
