Jeffery had gotten home from the library completely exhausted, that's what happens when you're running away from the local bullies. He walked past his dad, who was busy reading the newspaper, in the living room and went up to bed. He didn't even bother removing his backpack, he just put his headphones in and flopped down on his bed. He awoke later except he had no idea where he was, "this is not my room." He walked downstairs and saw a strange woman he had never met before and he stared at her for a second. Eventually she notices him and says, "good morning son, are you excited to get your Pokémon from Prof. Oak?" Jeffery was shocked, scared even, not from the Pokémon thing but how she claimed to be his mother. He slowly backed into the door, holding his arm out in front of him as if for protection, looking genuinely terrified. 'My mother is dead,' he thought to himself before he ran out of the door. He stopped not too far away breathing heavily.
