CHAPTER 3: A DECISION CAN CHANGE A LIFE.
Miyamoto jumped in the car and slammed the door behind her.
"Is it all right?" The feminine voice of her savior asked. The girl stared at her: she was a very beautiful woman with long, dark hair. She wore a red dress with black shoes.
"Yes...thanks for saving me. That man must have followed me or something..." Miyamoto said.
" What's your name, girl? What's your age?"
"I'm Miyamoto and I'm 16,almost 17." she said. Miyamoto felt she could trust this woman.
"What were you doing here in the middle of the night? It's dark and you were alone!"
"Uhm...I...I was coming back home when that man began to follow me. I work near here and I live with a very poor family so..." Miyamoto lied.
"Oh, don't lie, Miyamoto. I know you aren't poor you couldn't wear those expensive clothes. Plus, you have a backpack and it looks like you're trying to run away or something." The woman said with a smile.
"Well...I...I don't think you could understand the truth." Miyamoto said.
"Why don't you try to tell me what your problem is? I'm always happy to help young women like you. It reminds me of when I was you age. Oh, by the way I'm Madame Boss." Madame Boss said.
Miyamoto told Madame Boss all about her: She was born and raised in a rich family and lived happily with her parents untill 3 years ago, when her father died. After that, her mother forced her to be a model because she was afraid to become poor after her husband's death. But the girl had never wanted to become rich and famous: she wanted to be a pokemon master and maybe, one day,open a gym. Miyamoto told Madame Boss that she was pregnant and her mother kicked her out of home and now she didn't have a place to stay.
"Well, I perfectly understand your story, Miyamoto. We are women. Our lives are not so easy as every men think. It's not so easy to be a woman." Madame Boss' words were impressed in the girl's mind.
"Anyway, if you're looking for a place to live, you can come with me and work in my organization."
"Organization? What kind of organization?"
"Have you ever heard about the Rocket Gang? We are a criminal organization,: we steal pokemon and make experiments with them. We bargain and earn money, so if you're alone you can work with us."
"I heard rumors about the infamous Rocket Gang. You are the boss, aren't you?"
"Yes,I'm the boss. That's why everyone calls me Madame Boss. Think, Miyamoto: if you join the organization you'll have a place to stay. You can stay at HQ until your baby is born, then I'll give you a small house in Chesnat Village where you can raise your baby. Think girl: a house and a job is a great chance."
Madame Boss was right: Miyamoto would get a house and a job and all that she had to do was join.
"Yes, I wanna join the Rocket Gang. I promise you I'll be a loyal and a great member and you can always count on me." The girl said with satisfaction.
"Good. Very good. Now I'll drive you to HQ so yo can rest there. Tomorrow morning a member will show you the base and explain everything about the Rocket Gang. Soon, you'll start working for me."
"Yes Ma'am. Thanks again." Miyamoto was so happy. She has been very lucky and for the first time in her life, she was doing something she really loved. Miyamoto began dreaming about herself wearing the uniform and stealing pokemon. She liked those daydreams. For the first time she felt realized and satisfied.
And Madame Boss drove in the direction of HQ in that cold, winter night.
