To see the world!

You have spent your entire life in Pallet Town so far. You were born here, grew up here. You have never been outside the city limits, without being under the watchful eye off your mother. In short, you are fed up with boring old Pallet Town, you need new scenery.

You have never understood why your mom is so overprotective of you; despite having lived in Pallet Town all your 18 years, you barely know any of the other kids beyond their names.

Your mother even took the time to homeschool you, almost as if she was that some great evil would get you, if you ever left her sights. Maybe she is afraid of losing you as she did your dad.

According to her, your dad was a he and passed away in the war while she was pregnant with you. Despite this, you have never seen a photograph of your dad anywhere in the house not even in the boxes in the attic. It was whilst rummaging through your mom’s old stuff in the attic that you discovered something about your mom you had never suspected. Among all the old trash, you found her Pokémon old trainer gear stuffed away in a dusty corner. Rummaging through this box was the beginning of your obsession with becoming a Pokémon trainer and traveling the world. Knowing your moms **** when it came to you leaving Pallet Town without supervision you have kept this dream of yours a secret from your mom, until today.

You are finally legally an adult meaning she no longer can keep you prisoner in this little house. Over the past week you managed to scrape enough money together to start your journey, it’s time for you to spread your wings. It’s now or never your mom is out shopping you need to be gone before she returns.

You borrow the gear you found in the attic, it doesn’t seem like your mom is going to miss it, and head out the front door.

Standing there at the door ready to set off on your grand adventure, you realize you barely know anything about being a Pokémon trainer. Not knowing where else to go you head for professor Oak’s lab. If anyone knows about Pokémon in this tired old town, it has to be him.

As you near your destination, you can faintly hear some weird sounds, and shouting, as you get closer you realize it must be the sounds of a Pokémon battle; excitedly you pick up your pace. The shouts become clearer as you approach and you can now make out what is being said. “Now go Charmander, use flamethrower!” you hear a male voice shout, before being drowned out by the sound of roaring flames. As you turn the corner, you see Amber and Blue standing facing each other, between then sit two Pokémon, one is a cute bipedal orange salamander, with what appears to be a fire burning on its tail. The other is a green quadruped with what looks like a flower bulb growing from its back. The green Pokémon is lying still on the ground and is looking decidedly charred.

As you get closer, you are able to see the faces of the two battling trainers. Amber is looking decidedly dejected, whilst Blue seems to be over the moon. “Man those two most really care about wining” you think to yourself. Amber and Blue seem so distracted by their post battle discussion, that by the time you reach the door to Oak’s lab neither of them seem to notice you.
