“Creative Writing”

Kenzie’s fallen asleep surrounded by state maps spread wide across the bed. This cold has really fallen hard on him. I still feel awful but am able to be up and around, for the most part, cleaning the house and working on layout for the next issue.
Recently, Kenzie’s been writing quite a lot - thank-you cards for birthday presents, letters to his great grandparents, and emails to a Pokemon website. Here’s the text from the first one:

How cool. My Maryjean loves Pokemon sites–esp Pokemon.com. Now I’m curious about Pokemon Crystal–I think my Maryjean would love the idea of getting to Pallet Town. Kewl!

Pokemon Crystal has quickly become his absolute favorite of the Gameboy games. He loves the way that the Pokemon move, the towns he can go to - everything. It’s like a little world. Video games - even older ones like this - continue to amaze me. When he talks about his adventures (and he talks about them A LOT), it’s like he’s living in that world. He tells me about what’s going on with his Pokemon, with other trainers and gym leaders, with Team Rocket, etc. Different days have different radio shows, Sundays at the Goldenrod Pokemart, a woman gives out free TMs, etc. He’s in heaven.

Ohhh I’m going to have to find that one for my Maryjean. She does the same thing when she plays her other games–nothing like a new obsession.
I sometimes wish she could really be a Pokemon trainer like the games, or shows–I think it would be neat to be able to do that in real life (but then again I refuse to grow up!)

To get the key in pokemon blue you have to find your way through the burnt building on cinnabar island. It’s in there.
In pokemon crystal to get to pallet town you have to catch the train in goldenrod town. That will take you there.

Thanks, Dallas! Kenzie’s happily plugging away at his journeys through the world of Pokemon!
