Pokémon Rijon Adventures: Episode 0-Can you say 'Prologue'?

"Hm? Good day, good day."

I am in an unworldly clean white lab, somewhere far away from home.

"Soon you will start your journey in the region of Rijon! I'm Tim, one of Rijon's Trainer Tutors."

The elderly man before me is Professor Tim, who used to be Rijon's official Professor, but gave it up to Professor Jen Oak. He gave my Dad his first Pokémon for his adventure in Rijon, where he then settled down. He told me he grew up in some place called Pallet Town.

"I'm here to get you started on your quest. Our world…"

He reached into his coat's breast pocket, and pulled out a small, metallic ball colored half-white and half-red; a Pokéball! He presses the button in the middle. It opens and releases a brilliant red beam, which materializes on the ground, and soon takes the shape of a pokémon. The Pokémon is small, and a sickly green color. It's covered in small barbs, and has a small horn on its forehead. My studies tell me it's a female Nidoran!

"…is inhabited far and wide by these wonderfully strange creatures we call pokémon. People all across the world live side by side with their pokémon. Many of those people compete in competitive battling with their pokémon. Many others only have them as pets. And some even work with pokémon to protect our world. There are also many who dedicate their time to the study of pokémon. What will you dedicate yourself to?"

I stand up, tall and proud with a grin spread across my face as I answer, "I want to become the Pokémon Champion, just like my father!"

He smiles, pull the pokéball back out, and returns the Nidoran to its ball. "I hoped you would say that. But before you can even begin, you will need to be registered as an official Pokémon Trainer! Luckily for you, I have brought an empty form, which I will fill out now. The questions I ask who may feel strange, but they are necessary, I assure you. First question: Are you a boy or a girl?"

"Really Professor? Do you have to ask?" He nods. I sigh, and then say, "I'm a boy…"

"Good. Second question: What is your name?"

"Really, you're asking another useless question? Its Ray, you know that full well." As the Professor writes it down, someone barges threw the door. A very familiar someone…

"Yo, Ray, it's been a while since we last saw each other!"

"…it's been like ten minutes dude."

"Oh really, then pop quiz man, what's my name?

I really hate when he pulls these stupid games, he's the only one who finds them funny. Look at him, with that silly grin on his face. "Haha, we both know its Ethan Oak you doofus."

"Ding ding ding ding! We have a winner! Well, I'll see you later Ray! I'm getting my Trainer Card filled out after you! Smell ya later!"

With that he ran out of the room, laughing at his own joke as he did it…whatever.

"Well then, I think I have all the information down. When you get back home, tell your father Red I said 'Hi', I haven't seen the man in ages. But about your quest…Rijon is quite large. There will be so many places to see, so much training to do! I wish you luck! Goodbye!"

With that I left the lab. My Dad was there to greet me, so proud I would soon start my journey. I told him the Professor's message.

"I'll be seeing more of old Tim soon; we'll be working on a similar project. Now let's get home and have dinner!"
