I walked through the wet undergrowth to an unfamiliar town, i smelt the burned wood from outside the cast- iron gates before it and no nothing occurred to me then. But before we go any further, let me introduce myself. I'm Autumn. A pokemon trainer from Pallet. This is my adventures in the dark side of our beautiful unscathed world of pokemon.

CHAPTER ONE: Strange occurrences

I sighed and opened the creaky gates with now what looked like two marowacks on the tops of the rusty silver, and as i passed them i felt like they watch me the whole way down the steep hill that fronts the small town in front of me. A old man passes me without a glance and silver tears pour from his eyes. I stare up in the low glare of the sun hidden behind grey clouds and peer at a strange high mounted tower of purple. The sign above it states- LAVENDER TOWN TOWER MAY THE SPIRITS OF POKEMON REST EASY.

A cold shiver runs down my back and i suspect it is not from the lack of sun. I decide to stay the night in a nearby house where they keepers look friendly and kind, at least tolerant of this weary traveler. I think of my poor parents who died the night that horrible fire took place in our lab. I was only 6, the fire blazed on while i stood transfixed by the dancing flames outside of my bedroom door/window, still holding my bedraggled teddy bear. I heard my mother scream and began to cry desperately for her... for anyone to find me in the smoke.
