The Road to the League
by Sailor Chronos
So you want to be a master of Pokemon?
Do you have the skill to be number one?
I want to take the ultimate step, have the courage to be bold.
To risk it all and not forget the lessons that I hold.
I want to go where no one's been, far beyond the crowd.
Learn the way to take command, use the power that's in my hand!
We all live in a Pokemon world,
I want to be the greatest master of them all! (The greatest master!)
We all live in a Pokemon world,
I'll put myself to the test, I'll be better than all the rest!
So you want to be a master of Pokemon?
Do you have the skill to be number one?
We all live in a Pokemon world,
I want to be the greatest master of them all!
Got the power right in your hands!
Pokemon!
Prologue
The weather was sunny but a chilly autumn breeze swept through the village square as Heather and her friend Christy walked back from the Twilight Gym. A lot had happened in the year-and-a-bit since she had left home for the first time, and she had been thinking about writing down some of her adventures before she forgot the details.
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking," Christy said. "You could write a book about what you've been through."
"I know, but I'm not sure if that would be a good idea."
"Don't doubt yourself now! Do you know how many people have been asking me for my story? If they're that eager to hear mine, they'd be much more interested in yours, since you're the person who practically brought this village back to life."
As if on cue, Heather's younger brother Jack made an appearance from the schoolyard, along with a few other boys. "Hi sis! Hi Christy! Where's Craig? He promised he'd play baseball with us."
Heather laughed. "He has a bit more training to do, then it's his turn to close up the Gym for the night. He'd better hurry or it'll get too dark for you guys to play."
One of the boys, who had a Pidgey perched on his shoulder, asked, "Why don't we go to the PokeShop to get out of the cold while we're waiting, and you can tell us a story?"
Heather sighed, but Christy nudged her with her elbow. "Oh, all right." They all started to walk toward a storefront that was decorated with Pokemon drawings. "Let's see, where to start?"
