It had been a dark day in Mauville. There had been a city-wide blackout, leaving the entire place coated in darkness. Nobody knows why there was a blackout. The gym leader - Watson had gone to investigate the generator. There weren't many challengers to his gym, the blackout was all over the internet. You see, Mauville has a history of never having a blackout in its long history. It was a big deal to people who had lived in Mauville for a while.
Me? I haven't introduced myself. I'm Zack. Zack Day. Not much to me. I'm sorta lazy, don't leave the house much. The only thing I really do is go to Trainer School. When I'm there, I just sorta stay quiet, try not to draw attention to myself. But when I'm home? I go online, and actually have fun. I love Pokemon sure, but I hate having to wait until I'm ten. My friend's - Ryan and Christina both turned 10 a few months ago, but they decided to wait for me to turn ten before going to get starter Pokemon. My birthday is tomorrow, so I guess I don't have to wait much longer, but it sucks that they had to wait for me. The only problem is that the power may not be back on tomorrow, and that would be bad.
I heard a knock at the door. My parents both work. We aren't poor - no, but we aren't so financially well off that we can go without working. I went to the door, looked through the peephole and saw Ryan and Christina.
Ryan was a short guy with shoulder-length blond hair, blue eyes, and glasses. He was sorta shy around others, but transforms into an obnoxious cool person around me and Christina.
Christina, on the other hand was nearly my height, and I'm constantly told I'm tall. She has long black hair and green eyes. She was assertive, and very athletic.
"Um. Hi, Zack." Ryan said, "We were going to go get lunch at Applebeedrill's. Do you wanna go?"
"Sure," I said, actually sorta hungry. I ran back to my room to get my Pokenav, I threw on my shoes and Hoodie, and went out with them. We began walking to the restaurant. As we passed by the Pokemart, however, we saw a woman being harassed by a large man who I had never seen before. Christina had a reputation for helping people. She frequently volunteered at places. She calmly walked over to the woman and the man and began talking. I couldn't hear them, I was listening to my music. Eventually, the man walked away and the woman seemingly thanked her. Christina came back and we continued to Applebeedrill's.
Upon arriving, we found out that they were closed because of the blackout.
"Well what now?" Christina asked. I didn't know what we could do, sure - there was a lot of stuff to do in Mauville, but most of it required electricity. "..Should we go home?" I suggested, hoping that Ryan had an idea, but no. He nodded and we began making our way home. We actually lived near each other, which was unusual in a big city like this. Eventually, I made it home. Upon entering, I found that the entire place was actually lit up. I had candles around the place, but they weren't as bright as this. I realized that the power was back on. I didn't feel like walking back to the place, so I didn't text Ryan or Christina. It was getting late, so I decided to go to sleep. My test was tomorrow, after all.
