Chapter 1

It was the last day at Pokemon Academy and it was time for the report cards to come in. I was at the edge of my seat! I usually get straight A’s on my report card but this time I might get a C or something. My reputation could be ruined! I was in the 6th grade of Pokemon Academy so you should understand that If I get even one C in the 6th grade I’ll be going to Pokemon Day camp for extra credit work for people who have Cs or Lower.

“Must get A’s and B’s.” I told myself.

The teacher got a piece of chalk and wrote on the board. Every minute was a pain. I knew there wouldn’t be homework today but still it was a pain. The teacher turned around and picked up some piles of envelopes. I could tell it was the report cards.

“Class I’ll be passing out the report cards and your graduation suits or dresses.” The teacher announced.

I was right, but still I had hope, well not much. I was told a stronger desire will always prevail, I really did believe that from the very start. I know it may sound stupid I still believed in it even right this minute.
The clock was ticking away while I was on the edge of my seat.

“Nice job as always.” The teacher stated while handing me my things.

It took a while to open my report card. Just Kidding! I know putting a “Just Kidding” right in a middle of a story is odd I know but it adds a twist. I wasn’t really thinking about my grades to much, but the C or bellow thing was actually true you know. Well not all of what I been telling you were lies, I am actually a straight A student in the story.

“OK the graduation ceremony will be 7:00 tonight.” The teacher announced.

The bell wrung right after the teacher was done talking, it was 3:00 time to get out. I stood up and walked out the door yawning.
I was a slacker but I still get A’s so for other people it still strange.

RE: When The Goings Get Tough

I don't understand. So you are telling this from your point of view? Anyways, it is a good start. Will this be about Pokemon, something, or just an original idea?
 
RE: When The Goings Get Tough

Pokemon =) It's based on the Sinnoh Region so get ready for Galactic!

Here's chapter 2!

Chapter 2

When I got home I ran up stairs and turned to my left to my brother, Shadow’s room. I slowly opened the door when a sudden chill went down my spine. I slammed the door and went to the garage. I didn’t like going to the garage often because we haven’t cleaned it out since we moved here 4 years ago. I hope he was setting up the battlefield as I crossed my fingers. I opened the garage door and the garage was clean! I turned my head around and saw the battlefield.

“Wow the battle field! It’s been so long since I saw it.” I exclaimed.
“Hey squirt!” A voice shouted.

I turned my head further and I saw my brother carrying a box full of random things.

“Hey don’t call me squirt!” I shouted.
“Sorry so what did you get on your report card?” Shadow asked.
“Same as usual.” I replied.

Shadow then got out his wallet and dug into it. He finally got out 4000 Poke Dollars and slammed it on the bench right next to the battle field.

“Now you have a head start.” Shadow said with a proud grin.
“Hey Shadow?” I started.
“What is it Davis?” Shadow asked.
“I was wondering if Andrew was coming for graduation.” I finished.
“I thought we agreed on that we never say our brother’s name again.” Shadow exclaimed.

~INTERMISSION~

Me: Davis actually has 2 brothers. Shadow the oldest and Andrew the middle brother.
Random Person: What happened to Andrew.
Me: Lets Just say he ran away. Don’t want to give too much away.

~ End of Intermission ~

“Remember when I was 7?” I asked.
“Yes the last day of the 1st grade why?” Shadow replied.
“We promised when Andrew was still around that you and him would be right by my side when I receive my 1st Pokemon and graduate school.” I said.
“So what of it?” Shadow asked.
“Andrew never broke a promise to me before so I was wondering if he would come back.” I said.
“I don’t want to talk about it.” He said in a depressing look.

I started crying thinking about him, I remembered all of the promises he made with me, all the happy times, the times when he made me laugh, the times when he cheered me up, and the times where I was not myself.
The past years I’ve been with him Andrew and Shadow understood me the most. Andrew leaving when I was in the 3rd grade was the hardest times of my life then a year later Father and Mother were gone. I couldn’t bare the pain I’ve been through it was harsh to remembering tears ran down my face I couldn’t control myself.

“You bringing Mathew over?” Shadow asked.
“What are you talking about Shadow?” I asked.
“Never mind then you would have to rent Pokemon.” Shadow replied.

I got my tears under control at last and put the 4000 Poke Dollars into my wallet. I walked down the stairs and found one of our old photograph books. I opened it and saw a picture of my memories. It was when Andrew got his 1st Pokemon. I was right by his side to. I could even remember his starter it was a Riolu.

“Were going shopping later.” Shadow announced.
“I know I need to get a journey bag.” I said.
“Here’s the key and also get the coupons.” Shadow commanded.
“Wow Shadow you’re cheap.” I complimented.
“Hey I just don’t want to loose to much money!” Shadow complained.
“Sure whatever I’m going to get my graduation suit.” I replied.
“When’s Graduation?” Shadow asked.
“7:00.” I replied. Then I ran up stairs to get my graduation suit.

Chapter 3

I was in the card playing my DS playing a game called Luminous Arc and my brother was listening to music on his iPod.

“Hey Shadow make a left!” I shouted.
“What?” He asked.
“Left!” I shouted while I took his earphones off.

Shadow made a sharp turn and nearly crashed another car! I stared at him making my “are you crazy face” I mean really he nearly crashed into a car with a baby in the back and a mother and father in the front!

“You nearly killed them!” I shouted.
“Well sorry.” He complained.
“From now on I’m taking your iPod away from you!” I announced.
“Hey your not 20 years old are you!” He shouted.
“RIGHT!” I screeched.

Shadow then made a sharp left nearly running over someone. Then I made my “You are really bananas face” Then I looked away playing my DS.

Few minuets had passed and we were at Mathew’s house. He seemed to be looking for something in the yard. “It had better not have been his brother throwing his iPod out the window!” I thought. Shadow was listening to his ipod barley caring that Mathew was looking for something.

I opened the car door and decided to help. I caught sight of Mathew’s little brother Max and I sent a glare at him. I wondered where his twin brother was but then ran off to help Mathew.

“Mathew!” I shouted.
“Oh hey Davis!”
“Max threw your iPod out the window?” I asked.
“Nope.” He began, “This time he threw my Wii out the window.”
“Great!” I shouted.

Mathew then looked under the underbrush and found his Wii! He found it nearly destroyed so he couldn’t play it anymore, but at least it wasn’t his iPod this time.

“Hey where’s Kevin?” I asked.
“Oh he left to travel in Hoenn already.” He answered.
“Oh well hurry up were going to the mall! I shouted.
“Why?”
“Remember.” I answered.
“Oh yeah huh.”
“Well get your Grad Suit and get going!” I commanded.
“Oh fine.” He complained.

Hey thanks here is chapter 4

Chapter 4

We were at the cashier register paying for the stuff we bought. At the counter I saw Andrew on a wanted poster! I started to cry. Tears ran down my face, my eyes were read while the cashier was looking at me. “You ok kid?” The cashier asked. I wiped tears off my cheeks, but my eyes were still red.

“Yes I’m fine.” I replied.
“You sure?” He asked again
“I’m fine.” I replied.

We were out and it was at least 6:15. I was hoping to go to the TwinLeaf Mini-Stadium, but Shadow just shook his head. Mathew and I pleaded, but nothing happened.

“Oh come one!” I pleaded.
“NO!” Shadow shouted.
“But I need to finish a match with Mathew!” I complained.
“OH fine.” He gave in, ”I just want to see you and Mathew battle.”
“Hey Mathew we get to finish our match from school today!” I shouted.
“I know!” He said with excitement.

 * At the Stadium *

“Go Riolu!” I called out.
“Go Budew!” Mathew called out.
“Ri Ri”
“Bu Dew”
“Aura Sphere!” I commanded
“ Bullet Seed!”

The attacks collided and made a giant puff of smoke. No one could see not even my brother, who usually had good eyesight. Mathew and I had a talent, well that’s what other people say, that when we battle people want to watch. We attracted crowds and we were on TV once!

“Force Palm!” I commanded. The Force Palm hit Budew at full force, but it was not down just yet. “Tackle!” Mathew commanded. The crowd went wild as the battle raged on, Budew and Riolu sent one attack after another it was like it would be a tie again for the 1001st time, but I got a lucky break. “Riolu finish this with an Aura Sphere!” Budew was hit hard with the Aura Sphere and it finally fell down.

“I won!” I shouted with amazement.
“Shoot I was hopping for the 1001st tie!” Mathew complained.
“I guess it was just luck.” I said.
“No it wasn’t!” Mathew cried.
“OK now you can get me next time.” I told him.
“OK!” Mathew shouted.
“Um guys?!” Shadow shouted in an urgent voice.
“WHAT!”
“We have 15 mins to get to the graduation.” He replied.
“Oh now we are busted!” Mathew cried.

Chapter 5

We some how made it in time for the graduation on time. I thank Franz for attacking the principal. It was the might of the ceremony every kid’s parent was there. I searched far and wide through the crowd, but there was no sign of Andrew. I look to my left to the right, but nothing, no Andrew, but I did see Pro.Rowan.

The lights turned down and our class was in line. The principal and Pro.Rowan were up front congratulating the passing students with their starter Pokemon. I was sweating like a hog on a summer afternoon. Mathew and I were called up and granted us with our 1st Pokemon.

“Oh so you must be Mathew and Davis I’ve been hearing about.” Pro.Rowan said.
“Oh yes I’m Davis he’s Mathew.” I replied.
“Well do you mind sending out your Pokemon?” He asked.
“Oh um sure!” Mathew and I replied in unison.
“GO who ever you are!”

Poke balls were in the air and a flash of light was followed. A Riolu and Budew came out of the Poke balls! It was just the Pokemon we wanted! Riolu seemed happy to see me and made a happy smile while Budew walked up to Mathew and jumped up and down.

“These were the Pokemon you wanted am I right?” Rowan asked.
“Oh yeas it was!” We replied.
“Hmm what do you think of Pokemon Davis?” Rowan asked.
“I think of them a friends and partners.” I replied calmly.
“What about you Mathew?” He asked.
“I think of them as family.” Mathew replied.

Rowan then gave a smile and handed us a Pokedex and a Poke Navi V3! My set was blue and Mathew had a shade of green, our eyes glowed with light and took it from his hand. Then a puff of smoke came in the room and everyone was coughing. When the smoke cleared I saw men in space suit and Andrew!

RE: When The Goings Get Tough

Oh no! Andrew is with Team Galactic! Nice job, I liked the ending!
 
RE: When The Goings Get Tough

thanks




Chapter 6

The smoke cleared and Andrew appeared before my eyes. He was wearing a Galactic uniform, but he seemed different. He looked carefree as ever and his smile was there, but something felt different.

“Andrew is that you?” I asked.
“Yeah little bro.” He answered.
“No you’re not!” I cried.
“How can you be so sure?’
“Because, the Andrew I know wouldn’t be in team galactic!” I cried.
“Just a minute ago you were wondering what I am?”
“Well, how couldn’t I forget the team who killed Mom and Dad!?” I shouted.

Shadow seemed to get up from his seat and glared at Andrew. Andrew then gave a yawn and glared back at Shadow. They both seemed to get a Pokeball out then held it in their hands. Tears ran down my cheeks hoping this was just a nightmare and that they wouldn’t fight. Andrew becoming a Galactic hurt most of all.

“You hurt Davis.” Shadow said.
“No I didn’t!” Andrew shouted.
“Yes you did.”
“No I didn’t, tell him Davis!” Andrew urged.

I cried with tears of sadness. Andrew really hurt me I didn’t want to answer, but I felt like I had too tell them what I felt.

“Andrew you are hurting me.” I said.
“Well that proves it.” Shadow said in triumph.
“How did I hurt you!?” Andrew asked.
“You joined them and you you broke our promise.” I replied weakly.
“Fine then if you won’t appreciate me then I’ll take you to join Team Galactic Davis!” Andrew screeched.
“Stop it Andrew!” I cried.

Shadow then got in the way and sent out his strong amazing Charizard came out of it’s Pokeball. Charizard seemed sleep, but as soon a it saw Andrew it was ready for battle.

RE: When The Goings Get Tough

I liked it. Good chapter...but you crying, you seem very childish...but it's ok.
 
RE: When The Goings Get Tough

I think that this story is good, chapters seem a bit short though. it even seems like you double space between paragraphs to make it seem longer, and you said my paragraphs were short
