Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact.
William James

He wasn’t born for greatness, he wasn’t destined for greatness but he became great. The journey of a normal kid becoming a knight.

Preface

Lampard stood there in disbelief, the feeling of Déjà Vu all over again burnt through his heart. “I’m so sorry; I won’t let this happen to you ever again”. As he stood there unsure of what happened, more emotions were running through him than ever. “Please forgive me for what has happened here tonight”. “This has happened too many times now”. “As of now you don’t belong to me anymore Goodbye for...”. As Lampard was finishing his sentence, his worst fear was realised.

Chapter 1: It’s a shame we have to live this way but if you’re going to go then do so without fear (starting again)

Another sleepless night for Lampard, sweat flooding from his brown hair with blonde streaks. His deep blue eyes filled with tears. Wondering if anyone will even care that it’s his 16^th birthday. He got up to look in the mirror, hoping he would be taller by now but he is still only 5’3. His hair looking all messy, the way he liked it. He stands there hoping he will get through the day ok and hope that something good will come of it. Then his phone rang, it was his girlfriend Skye. He didn’t want to speak to her now after their fight. Later that night as Lampard was with his friends going for a walk when they came across the house that has been on the news. The one that is haunted a freak ghost. The people who believed in Pokémon knew it was a ghost Pokémon, while the people who didn’t believe in that stuff thought it were a crazy animal on the loose. Keeping their distance from house they continued to walk, until they heard a scream. Another victim perhaps. Lampard ran into the house. “Lamps come back here it’s too dangerous” said one of his friends. Lampard didn’t respond and they followed after him.

While in the house they were investigating and didn’t see any animal. While Lampard knew it was a Pokémon, his friends didn’t believe in that either. Seeing no evidence of something, Lampard’s friends decided to leave. “Let’s go Lamps”, they shouted in sequence. As Lampard turned to leave he saw it, the Pokémon. “AARGH” Lampard screamed. Instead of it scaring the Pokémon, it was calm and relaxed. It smiled at Lampard and looked like ecstatic to see him. Then Lampard’s friends walked in the room. He looked at them and then turned back to the Pokémon but it was gone. “Lamps we won’t tell you again, let’s go now or we will leave you here” his friends said. Lampard left with his friends but knowing that the Pokémon wasn’t safe.

Lampard was woken up that night by the memories of the past. Still struggling to deal with it, why would they do that too him. Lampard’s only real friend, gone never to see again. As time goes on it doesn’t get better it gets worse but there was something different this time. Like he was trying to tell Lamps something. Every time he heard that voice say Lamps it made things worse. He never called Lampard by his real name like his friends did occasionally; he didn’t like the name Lampard. Even with the distractions Lampard still couldn’t get rid of the feeling, the feeling that he was trying to tell Lamps something. Pictures filled his mind, pictures...pictures...more pictures and then...the Pokémon at the haunted house appeared, being chased. That was it, it was in trouble. “NOOOOO, don’t hurt him please” Lampard pleaded to himself. Then his phone rang again and again it was Skye. She must be mad at him even more now for not answering her calls on his birthday. He didn’t care about that now. As he left his room he grabbed the only thing he could think of that would help, His only Pokéball.

Lampard ran as fast as he could to the haunted house only to see the Pokémon equivalent of Ghostbusters were there with the police. They looked like they meant business, that it would end tonight. He stormed to the front door only to be stopped by the 2 massive bodyguards. “You can’t come in here and anyway it’s too dangerous for a kid what are you doing here” said one of the guards. Lampard knowing they wouldn’t budge didn’t want to waste any time. He ran around the house only to see no way to get in. He then had an idea. He ran and found a window and threw his Pokéball at it. Hoping no one heard it he checked the Pokéball and as suspected it was broken. He jumped through the window and ran through the house looking for the Pokémon trying not to get caught on the way and that’s when it caught him off guard.

The Pokémon appeared behind him. It looked excited to see Lampard again and was pleased that Lampard looked happy too. “There you are” Lampard said,”Misdreavus we have to get you out of here” Lampard said hurriedly. “Quick let’s go, this way” Lampard said while grabbing Misdreavus”. They started to run but when Lampard looked back to see if anyone was following he was knocked to the ground. Guards quickly surrounded misdreavus. “Ok now fire” the head guard said. The guards looked set to take out misdreavus and it looked over, until something happened. There were suddenly lots of Misdreavus’s and the guards didn’t know where to fire, of course Lampard knew which one he was and stared anxiously. Misdreavus then started to play tricks and play around with the guards. Then with a swift move all the guards started walking in circles and walking into each other. “Let’s go now misdreavus aim at the wall” Lampard said. Then a dark ball appeared and misdreavus fired it at the wall. The wall blew open and Lampard and misdreavus fled only to be stopped by one massive guard with a Gengar. He wasted no time and Gengar attacked misdreavus and sent him flying. “NOOO MISDREAVUS” Lampard screamed. “Are you ok Misdreavus” Lampard said worriedly. Misdreavus could only let off a little cry and then from nowhere a force hit misdreavus and Gengar. Misdreavus than popped up and looked much stronger and Gengar looked worse for money and that’s when Misdreavus saw his chance and lined up a shadow ball straight at Gengar and it hit him straight on. Gengar fainted and the massive guard was stunned with its power. “Don’t do this kid, we need the Pokémon” the massive guard said. “You don’t know what you’re talking about, Misdreavus wouldn’t hurt anyone” Lampard replied. “We’ve got an order to get it, if you leave now we will find you and take it by force” he surprisingly calmly replied. “Then I’ll guess that’s what you have to do then” Lampard said as he and Misdreavus walked away from the scene, as misdreavus gave the guard one last spook and confused him as he floated away.
