Proluge:
My name is Drake. I was born in the Hoenn region but I don't remember it very well. My family moved to Sinnoh when i was one year old. I lived life like a normal kid until I was five years old. That's when I met my partner, Chimchar. I was playing "Pokemon trainer" with some of my friends, we all pretended we had our very own Pokemon. We were running through the woods when we came to a ravine. We were always careful not to fall down there. We ran alongside it when out of the corner of my eye i saw a faint orange glow. I stopped and walked to the edge of the ravine where the glow was coming from. All my friends kept running, not noticing I had stopped. I looked over the edge and saw a Chimchar. It was hanging from a root that stuck out of the side of the cliff. I reached my hand out to it.
"Grab my hand!" I yelled. The Chimchar looked at me and I could see in it's eyes that it trusted me. It grabbed my hand and I pulled it up. I carried it to the Pokemon Center in my jacket and handed it to the nurse at the counter.
"Aren't you a little young to have a Pokemon?" the nurse asked.
"It's not mine, I found it in the ravine and it looks like it's in bad shape," I replied.
"Oh, well don't worry, he'll be okay," I sat down in the waiting room and looked at my watch. It was getting late and I had to get home soon. The nurse came out and handed me Chimchar.
"I think you should hold onto this Pokemon, I think it likes you," she said. She revealed that it was a male at level 5. I took it home and showed my parents. They gave me a great ball to catch it in and told me not to battle anyone, but I could keep it.
The next day my dad called me into his office and gave me a box with a bow on it.
"I got this for you when we lived in the Hoenn region," he said, "I wanted to give it to you when I thought you were ready, and I guess today's the day." I opened the box to see another great ball.
"Go ahead, just throw it," my dad said. I threw the ball and a small orange bird Pokemon came out of it.
"That's Torchic, it's a fire type just like your Chimchar. It's also a level 5, just like Chimchar," he said. I grew very close to my two Pokemon over the course of that year. Then when i turned six we moved to the Unova region. My parents decided here was where we were going to stay because they wanted to raise Alex, my little two year old brother, in one place. When Alex turned five he found an Eevee in the wild and kept it. Then when I turned 14 and Alex turned 10, we got a letter in the mail announcing that Nuvema town (the town we lived in)'s professor Juniper was going to give a Pokemon to three young trainers. Those trainers were me, my friend Cheren, and a girl named Bianca.
