One of My Favorite Places: The PokeCenters

Before the time of the pandemic, before even the start of the Fall 2019 semester, I had the amazing opportunity to travel to Japan with my family. While there we came across store dedicated solely to Pokémon. These stores are called Pokémon Centers. For those, who haven't played the games/watched the show, a Pokémon Center is a place where you can go to heal your Pokémon completely for free. Sadly, there wasn't any free stuff in these centers.

They sold lots of plushies, toys, and apparel. I ended up getting a plush pichu, eevee, and some pikachu chopsticks. I would've liked to have spend more time in there and probably bought out most of the store, but luckily my parents were there to limit me to just a few things.

  1. Oh my gosh, Zeeshawn, this is so cool: people have done Pokemon projects for this class before (maybe you will want to do that!), but nobody has shared a picture of an actual Pokemon Center like this before. Fabulous! When you do your first storytelling for Week 2, maybe you can retell the story in the Pokemon world with Pokemon characters! :-)

Introduction to Zeeshawn Beg

Hi! I'm Zeeshawn, a Microbiology major, med school hopeful, and computer enthusiast. I was born in Pakistan and my family immigrated to Oklahoma when I was just a couple months old. I still love to watch cricket. I can't see it live though because of the time zones it's always early in the morning.  ("Wahab Stuns Hosts! | England vs Pakistan Match Highlights | ICC Cricket World Cup 2019" at youtube ) One of my favorite classes has been Chinese Literature. I had never really learned much about Chinese history, so this class really opened my eyes and helped me understand recent history. The book/story that affected me the most in that class was the Iron Child by Mo Yan.  I've also been trying to learn to draw. The idea of being able to create something has really motivated me and especially being able to see great art anytime on the internet has helped fuel this. I've been using drawabox  to learn the fundamentals and I feel like I've made some progress.

Week 7 Story: The Devil's Lair

( Jomblang Cave by Thomas Fuhrmann)   The Devil's Lair The Monkey King Sun Wu Kong stood before the mighty entrance of the Devil-King's lair. He had taken Sun Wu Kong's kin and had to be put in his place. This could not be forgiven. As the Monkey King entered the underground chamber, the servants of the Devil-King trembled. Sun Wu Kong's terrible rage and battle prowess was well known. They didn't know if even their own King could defeat him.  "Hey!" bellowed the stone ape, "Give me back my kids!!" evidently he wanted to try negotiation first. Stammering, the Devil-King responded, "Wait don't you want to fight me?" He had not expected the legendary Sun Wu Kong to reason before using his brawn. "Of course, but I'm trying to control myself so they don't have to see your sorry state after I'm done with you." The Devil-King didn't even know how to react. He just stared in disbelief. "How could he be so ca
