A Pokemon trainer with big aspirations - [Ongoing]

Your name is Max Altair, a twenty year old pokemon trainer. Up until recently, you had been working for Professor Oak in your home town of Pallet Town in the Kanto region. Your work was menial and boring, so when you watched a young trainer challenge the Eilte Four on television, you decided it was time to for a change of profession.

Professor Oak was happy to see you want to become a pokemon trainer and, as a parting gift, gave you a bag of twenty-four defective pokeballs and a new version of a pokedex. They had been sent by a friend of his and, for some unknown reason, refused to capture any pokemon. With your bag full of pokeballs and everything else you need for your travels, you make your way out of town to begin your quest. Before you leave you make sure you have the pokemon that has been your companion since you were eleven, though still at a very low level due to your lack of battling.
