Hi! Sorry to keep you waiting. Welcome to the world of Pokemon! My name is Birch. But everyone calls me the Pokemon Professor. This world is widely inhabited by creatures known as Pokemon. We humans live alongside Pokemon, at times as friendly playmates, and at times as cooperative workmates. And sometimes, we band together and battle others like us. But despite our closeness, we don't know everything about Pokemon. In fact, there are many, many secrets surrounding Pokemon. To unravel Pokemon mysteries, I've been undertaking research. That's what I do.

All right, Brendan, are you ready? Your own adventure is about to unfold. Take courage, and leap into the world of Pokemon where dreams, adventure, and friendships await (well, perhaps more than friendship, I'm pretty sure...)! Well, I'll be expecting you later. Come see me in my Pokemon Lab in Littleroot Town.
