Kanto. It's a region full of creatures, both humans and Pokemon alike. And in the heart of Pallet Town was a small boy part of this population. His name was Red, and he laying on his bed listening to the radio.
"Hi, I'm DJ Mary and welcome back to Professor Oak's Pokemon Talk. We're about to wrap up our program here, but we have some exciting news first."
"That's right," said Professor Oak. "It's April 1st, AKA the day starter Pokemon are given out. If you happen be in Pallet Town and want to own a Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle and are over the age of ten, come stop by my laboratory at 8 o'clock."
"Unfortunately, that is all the time we have today," said DJ Mary. Red glanced at the clock. 7:45. He tried to get dressed as quick as he could. He has been waiting to get a Pokemon for over 5 years now, and was not going to let this opportunity go to waist. It was his goal to become Champion of the Indigo League, because he knew they tended to rule the government. After Red was ready, he grabbed his bag and ran downstairs. 7:48.
He ran downstairs and found his mom. "Hey Mom." He continues to speedily walk toward the door.
"Wait a minute." She said stopping him in his tracks. "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to get a Pokemon from Professor Oak's lab," he said hoping she wouldn't try to stop him.
"Not without breakfast, you aren't." He sighed and sat down at the table, eating breakfast. He didn't want to seem too eager to leave, so he only ate semi-quickly. Still, it was 7:57 by the time he was done. He got up and started to walk out. "Red," his mom said. Red sighed again.
"What?" he said exasperatingly.
"You forgot your hat," she said with a smile. He picked his hat up off the table and then went out the door for real. He glanced at his watch. 7:59.
"Crap," he said. He went into a full sprint towards the Professor's Lab. He tripped a couple times along the way. He got to the door of the lab and tripped for a final time, tumbling through the door. After a couple seconds of daze, he looked at his watch.
8:00.
