Mike woke up and stretched out as he thought about how today was the day he started his journey to be the best there ever was. He was going train his hardest and eventually become the champion of the entire region. Nothing was going to stop Raidowaves!

Mike then looked down at Claws who was asleep on his lap. Maybe he could wait a little while longer.

After sitting in bed for half an hour waiting for Claws to wake up, Mike decided enough was enough and got up, trying to not wake up his faithful companion. Having done so successfully, Mike got ready for the day as he suited up for the adventure ahead of him. 

Mike and his Meowth left their home and began heading for the forest as the two of them were pretty sure they could take on anything in there. However Mike changed their direction when he saw Violet leave her own home with her Eevee. Mike had held a bit of a grudge against Violet ever since he had entered a local Pokémon contest a few years back and got utterly demolished by Violet's amazing performance. 

"Yo Violet, lose any Pokémon contests lately?" Mike said in a feeble attempt to make himself look cool. Inversely Claws gave a friendly wave at Violet's Eevee.
