Okay. A little head's up before we begin. We switch back and forth a lot from points of view, to make this easier to follow we decided to divide those points of views into sections based on the main characters.
So C=chapter PoV=point of view
Between each chapter we will be doing a page similar to this. This will be to address reviews, answer questions and provide a little bit of background into our version of the Pokemon world.
Background:
In our pokemon version, Trainers start off at ages 15-17
It just feels a little too unrealistic for a ten year to be traversing the landscape of the pokemon world. That's a terrifying place!
Now trainers are allowed to start off immediately or they can wait to show case their skills in a annual beginners tournament.
Rules of Tournament: To be a complete beginner they must have obtained zero gym badges.
the pokemon they enter should be unevolved and in the video game standard ( lvl 20 or below.)
Since they're are so many eager young trainers, they have to take a test to qualify. Only the best beginners get in.
The tournament location: The tournament is hosted in different regions, giving convenience to a different set of trainers each year. This year the competition is hosted in the Johto region in the urban sensation of Goldenrod.
Tournament Reward: 3 gym badges from that region, world acknowledgement of the achievement, and the newest bicycle to get around with ease.
