This is something I wrote some time ago in http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/f455/weekly-prompt-thread-99094/index5.html#post3357115 that Lightning Topaz posts. It's a great writing tool, you should definitely check it out if you want some inspiration to write something short. The prompt that inspired this particular story was:
Just posting this as a new thread so people can have a look and let me know what they think! (Warning, it's very short!)
So, here it is!
------------------------------------------
‘That young boy and girl are so insolent. Barry and Dawn, was it? Their parents should be ashamed. I give them each an incredibly rare Pokémon for free and they don’t even thank me. Well, of course they thanked me but they didn’t show gratitude. You know what I mean, don’t you, Lucas?’
‘Yes, Professor Rowan.’
‘Right, yes, of course you do, your parents raised you properly. Now what would you do if I offered you a Pokémon for free?’
‘Sorry?’
‘What would you do? In their position, what would you do?’
‘Well, Professor... I was in their position. You gave me my Piplup, don’t you remember?’
The Professor cleared his throat.
‘Yes, yes, of course I remember. How dare you suggest that I forgot. I wouldn’t forget such a thing. I am Professor Rowan after all, I’m the foremost expert in Pokémon in Japan. No, not Japan... the world!’
‘What about Professor Oak? Didn’t he invent the Pokédex?’
Rowan’s eyes flashed furiously.
‘Oak! Oak! That buffoon! I’m his senior, you know! I was two years above him academically! He may have gotten the edge on me in terms of inventions but don’t you forget that he is my junior. Do you understand, boy? Anyway, it doesn’t matter because I’m the world expert of evolution. That’s right! Oak may have his little encyclopaedias but I know everything there is to know about evolution! No one knows more than I!’
‘What about Professor Elm? Professor Oak said no one was more knowledgeable than him when it came to evolution.’
Lucas let out a shriek as Rowan beat him across the back of the head.
‘Learn some manners, boy! I thought you were the polite one. Now I see you’re no better than those two rascals who just left here. Didn’t your mother teach you to respect your elders?’
Lucas whimpered something incoherent. He hated it when the Professor got like this.
‘Sorry, Professor! Of course you’re the expert on evolution! I think Oak was being sarcastic actually! Not that it matters, he’s such an idiot that he probably thought it was true!’
Rowan, quite content with completely transparent compliments, smiled deeply. Suddenly, he looked at the clock.
‘Lucas! You buffoon! We’re supposed to be in Jubilife now! Why didn’t you remind me?’
‘You didn’t tell me where we were going, what time or for what reason!’
Rowan rewarded this comment with another belt around the back of the head.
‘You insolent whelp! I asked for reasons not excuses! Now let’s get going! Try not to mess anything else up!’
