The Way Out

"GOD, WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU? ALL I WANT TO DO IS BE A GOD DAMN POKEMON TRAINER!" Eric was once again
yelling at his parents, who are over protective and care to much for him. He doesn't think that it is for his own
good either. For all he thinks is that they are holding him back from his dream...and destiny.

"Well Eric, honey, its just not safe out in the world, there are bad people and places. We just dont want you
to get hurt." His mother was speaking in a calming voice. His father was watching, and had his hands on his hips.

"I KNOW THAT, YOU DON'T THINK I DO? THATS WHAT YOU BEEN TELLING ME SINCE I EVER WANTED TO BE A POKEMON TRAINER."
Eric was fed up with his over protective parents. He ran up to his room, stepping hardly on every stair and slammed his door.
He was grunting, and breating hardly, most of all screaming.

"Honey, maybe we should let him go. He is 15"
"14"
"Okay, 14, almost 15 and hes been asking since he was 10 and won't till he gets to go." Eric's father said.
His father was more relaxed then his mother. Him also being a pokemon trainer, but also baring scars, mental,
physical, and emotional.
"But Honey, I fear for his life, look what happened to you." His Mother Sadi said.

He limped on his left leg, and is scared of anything that is covered in total black. This is due to the fact
where when he was going to the champion someone in total blackness, leaped out and stole his badges and some of
his pokemon a Pidgeot, and a Charizard to be exact. He still has four, which he uses around the house, a Mr. Mime,
Seaking, Arbok, and a Dugtrio.

"Don't bring me up in this fight, you know what happened to me was not what normally happens on a pokemon journey." His father Timo said.
"I know, but still there is a chance it can happen, and if it does I don't want to lose him, like I almost did you."
"I know, I know, I don't want to lose him either but sometimes, we have to take chances, let him go and let him make mistakes."
"But I don't want to let him go, he is my baby, my son, out ownly son."

Everyday Eric looks at them, envies them, wants them. His father's pokemon. He always wanted to take them but wouldn't even do it, he loves his dad and
does not want to hurt him. The most he could do is watch them and treat them as pets. Mr. Mime working like a butler to his family. Seaking just swimming
in his pond, free but yet under his parents control, just like Eric, but yet there is one difference Seaking is free. Arbok, usually is in his pokeball but
when it is not it is around there garden, scaring away pokemon that want to eat the families crops. And finally the one he never sees Dugtrio, it's always
in the pokeball, in his own world. But he is fed up with his parents, and wants to leave the house. His thoughts all centered
about leaving, never seeing them again. He wishes he could leave. He knows he can but won't, something is holding him back...his pokemon, Horsea.
He calls Horsea out and has it in it's kiddy pool, in Eric's room.

"Horsea, how do you feel like going on a journey?"
"Hor...sea?"
"You know leave this place, never comeback."
"Horsea."
"I know you'll miss your friends, but we'll make new ones. Ones we won't have to lie to about out life."
"Horsea!"

He decides right then and there to leave, never comeback, make his own life. He takes a backpack and puts some clothes in it and some empty pokeballs.
He recalls Horsea and empties the water out of his window. He deflates it and packs it in his bag. He puts Horsea's pokeball on his belt and leaves one
empty pocket in his bag. Throws it on his back and opens his door and goes down stairs. He walks into the kitchen and puts food in the empty pocket he has
in his bag. He then walks into the living room where his parents are sitting and says,
"I'm leaving and you can't do anything about it, Goodbye."
With his parents in aww he runs out the door, and out into the world of Pokemon.

His mother, Sadi, fell on the floor crying and worrying about her boy, Eric... His father not being able to even speak full sentences, let alone two words...
All he can say is "Eric...Er...ic"
