This is a note that I had received two years ago when I contacted the Oak Laboratories in regards to becoming a Pokémon trainer. However, it took me that long to convince my parents that I could take care of myself alone. I was fourteen when I received that letter from this Professor Oak character. I was sixteen when I left for Pallet Town with the aspiration of becoming a Pokémon Master.
My arrival at Oak Laboratories proved to be fairly… disheartening. I seemed to arrive just as three other kids received their starter Pokémon. I had age superiority, dang it! But there was nothing that could be done. Professor Oak registered me as a trainer and handed me ten Pokéballs, a small electronic PokéDex, and a word of instruction. He said that I should head off and capture my own Pokémon and raise it as other trainers have done with the "starters."
I took his advice and left town. I did capture a Pokémon and I began to raise it as my "starter" Pokémon. With the other Pokémon I caught in the Safari Zone on my fourteenth birthday, I left town more confident than when I had arrived. My adventures would lead me all over that land of wild and wondrous creatures. I met many diverse and special people on my journey. The events leading up to my meeting with Professor Oak and the actual beginning of my adventure is another story entirely.
My story starts three years after my registration as a trainer by Professor Oak in Pallet Town. I had gone through rigorous training with hopes that I could claim the title of the best that's ever been.
