Pokemon Trainer Red Prologue: Champion

A single step.

This begins my march to the champion.

His green eyes brighten expectantly.

"Hey!"

His smile shows with unwavering confidence.

Pokemon League Grand Champion.

Pokemon Master.

Green Oak.

"I was looking forward to seeing you Red!"

I was never any good with my neighbor Green.

He's always been my opposite.

"My rival should be strong to keep me sharp!"

Active and outgoing Green,

Silent and kept to myself me.

Green traveled frequently and loved to research,

I helped at home and loved games.

"While working on the Pokedex, I looked all over for powerful Pokemon!"

Green was the technician who made calculated choices,

I was the lucky one who learned on the spot.

"Not only that, I assembled teams that would beat any Pokemon type!"

Chosen by Professor Oak for his special project Green,

"And now!"

Circumstances sent me.

"I'm the Pokemon League champion!"

The bright sun Green,

"Red!"

The hidden moon me.

"Do you know what that means?"

He was the complete opposite of me, so I was never any good with him.

We had nothing in common.

We were only neighbors who never spoke.

Our futures were never meant to intersect.

Our colors don't mix well.

We never really knew each other.

"I'll tell you!"

However, our paths did cross.

Our goals intersected, so it was inevitable.

Green and I are rivals.

"I am the most powerful trainer in the world!"

I don't say anything.

I don't have to.

My red eyes glare at him behind black hair.

I pull my hat over my eyes.

Two pokeballs are thrown into the arena.

And the champion will stand.

Author's note: Alright, that's the prologue. I'm mainly writing this story to brush up on my writing skills, since I haven't done any writing in years. Also, this gives me practice with first person POV.

I also hope to experiment with different plot elements to see how I can utilize them in written form. In addition to that, I'm hoping to practice "world construction" and character development. Thanks for reading!
