[h3][i]Thunk![/i][/h3][/center]

	The top of Tesh's head collided with his overhead shelf as he pushed himself closer to his bed frame. A collection of inert pokeballs and miniature pokemon knickknacks rolled and tumbled onto his lap from above. [color=f7976a]"Uncle Fredrick!"[/color] He shouted, too drowsy to stop a couple of pokeballs from rolling off his bed and onto the ground. The sound of plastic striking hardwood echoed in tandem with his uncle's footsteps scrabbling up to the second floor.

	[color=f26522]"Darnit, I'm sorry kiddo! It's already past 9!"[/color] Fredrick's elderly wheezing met Tesh long before his old uncle was peering at him from the bottom of his bedroom's banister. Tesh looked at his uncle's practically [i]reflective[/i] forehead and snapped back into motion. [i][color=f7976a]I'm late![/color][/i]

	Like a raging Rhyhorn desperate to escape a rock slide, Tesh barreled down the stairs with his waist-bound pouch in tow, packed with a potion, and 500 pokedollars as per his grandfather's generosity. [i][color=f26522]I'd give yeh more, kiddo, but my medicine..[/color][/i] Tesh shook the idea that he was under-supplied, shooting his uncle a look of confidence before crashing out of the front door. [color=f7976a]I'm sure you would, gramps. I'm sure you would.[/color]

	The pathways were mostly free of children playing this morning. [color=f7976a][i]What luck![/i][/color] Tesh thought, not slowing his pace in the least. No traffic was good... Right? Wrong. It didn't take him long to get to Professor Ficus' lab, but what awaited him was nothing short of a disaster. That line-up was [i]huge.[/i] He knew that every kid in town with a passion for pokemon would be here, but this? This was insane! If only he'd arrived an hour earlier like he'd planned... Bah, it was too late to waste time on regret. His uncle had a hard night, working his way through coughing fits as his favorite show, safari showdown, was canceled. Poor old guy. He'd show him a new form of excitement though! When his uncle next saw him, Tesh would be the Huji pokemon Champion.

	As he approached the end of the line, Tesh slowed his pace to a crawl, and stopped hard behind a tiny girl, who'd been facing a girl with headphones standing just in front of her. He hadn't heard any of what the two were talking about, nor did he care. Tesh was too preoccupied with the idea that his lungs might [i]explode[/i] if he didn't catch his breath. He tried to compose himself, breathing deeply and latching onto his waist. [i][color=f7976a]Not too late, thank heavens.[/color][/i]
