~Wrote the third chapter, and must say, it's the shortest of all three. Not as short as the prologue, though. It'd barely be a chapter if it was like that.



Waking up, Joe, nicknamed 'Krow' because of the first syllable of his last name, looked out the window to see not a patch of sunlight or blue sky. Everything was dark and gloomy, gray clouds all over. Though it wasn't raining, the air seemed heavy and moist. Joe could tell this already, and knew the day wouldn't be a great one. He got out of bed and got dressed. He wore jeans (worn at the knees), a red t-shirt with a pokeball design covering the top left side of his upper body, a dark blue hooded sweatshirt, a pokeball-logo baseball cap, and sneakers. He had blue eyes and dirty blonde hair. He went down to the kitchen to have breakfast.

"Joe, is that you?" a woman's voice called as he walked down the stairs to ground level.
"Yeah, mom. It's me."
"Food's on the table," she replied.
He sat down and looked at the plate. A huge waffle with the design of a pokeball stared at him as he stared back. "Use bubble!" he grumbled pessimistically. His eyes widened as a bubble of syrup started to grow from the center of the circle until it popped, leaving the maple syrup over the waffle.
"I put that there, not Mom," another girl's voice said. Joe turned his head to see his sister laughing. Joe groaned and ate, and acted hurried to leave. He grabbed three pokeballs, clipped them to a belt he put on, and went outside.
Living in a suburb neighboring Grotasoth, he got his bike from the garage and started to pedal down his street towards the city. "Hey, Krow!" a voice broke the silence of the dark morning.
"Yes, Rick?" Joe responded, recognizing the voice. It was a kid who lived down the block, his age, fourteen, and his best friend.
"You know what I'm gonna say," he sighed.
Joe laughed, and responded saying, "You want to battle?"
"You want to let me say it next time?" Rick joked, unclipping a pokeball of his own.
"Nope!" Joe smiled widely, readying himself to shout the name of the pokemon Rick was sure to use first just before it was visible.

For the record, this story gets better and better. And to be honest with you, I was thinking about the middle/end when I started writing this, and at first there wasn't a being named Light, it just meant as in Light and Darkness. But hey, things change through the editing process.
