Clear the Mechanism

The drowning crowds screamed all around me as i stood upon the pier of the water stadium, smiling as my empoleon glistened waiting on a small island for its prey. I knew it was a dream, it had to be. Why else would clouds be both above me and below me, and why else would the crowd be suspended on the water without any chairs. But, that all didnt matter to me.

"Clear the mechanism."

The drowning clouds, my opponents smirking face and all of the distracting presences around me blurred. "Wu-wei" was the only way to describe the experience. There was no flourish to my technique, no hint of over embellished mastery. Just "Wu-wei." I was thoroughly and completely in the zone.

The only thing remaining sharp and focused to me was the battle at hand, and my pokemon and i had already exchanged the unspoken words. She dove away from the biting, tenacious blastoise, and delivered a sharp yet simple drill peck to its weak spot. The blastoise screamed before bursting into thousands of little starly, each squawking its battle cry before diving towards my beloved water pokemon. They morphed and massed as they flew enveloping the whole sequence and changing the scenario.

I was at the ground stadium with my level headed kanghastan in front of me. Facing us was an enormous Rapidash streamlining effortlessly and powerfully towards us in a dazzling spectacle of fire. Kanghastan stood ready as the words "Clear the mechanism" tamed the atmosphere to one more befitting the situation. Kanghastan simply waited patiently, the trust between us fierce as the rapidash, tandemly going at speeds comparable to that of sound as well as that of slugma towards my unnerved beast. The focus punch hit its mark. Rapidash burst into a flaming pidgeot, and shrieked.

"SQUAAAAAAAAAAW! SQUAAAAAAAAAAAW SQUAAAAAAAAAAAAW!"

Everything immediately imploded as i got sucked back out of my dream world. I awoke on my cold hard wood floor with my sheets and pillows strewn before me. The only sound in the room emanated obnoxiously from my alarm clock, and i groggily shut it off. Checking the time, the sleep instantly rubbed itself out of my eyes. I smiled, as today was the day i started my pokemon journey. Today, I Juno Maxwell, would make my dreams reality, and all of the impossibilities of those dreams would be washed away with both cold hard fact, and my own ability to "clear the mechanism"

I eagerly ran downstairs to grab a bowl of cereal, and after consuming it, quickly took a shower and gathered my belongings. I ran to the living room to see my father sleeping off his previous day's hard work on the couch. Though i contemplated waking the poor guy up, i figured i would just leave a note, as i planned on calling and visiting the guy every so often anyway. Besides, as the traveling business man he was, we would have plenty of opportunities to meet up on my journey anyway. I left a note explaining my absence (though he knew about my leaving today anyway) and affirming my love for him, before stepping towards the door.

The only thing that stopped me from opening that door and stepping into the future, the only thing that broke the "mechanism" was the hand on my shoulder. I turned around and saw my dad. I waited for his next words, knowing full well that it would cause me much nostalgia and regret.
