Disclaimer: I don't own Pokémon in any way, shape, or form.


Author's Note: This isn't exactly my finest work, but I've had this idea stuck in my head for a while. The original soundtrack is really the inspiration for it. Songs I haven't heard in years brought this forward. I hope you enjoy!

To reach my goal was my life's journey. I have every intention to land on my feet no matter how long it takes. I know this is my destiny. The one true thing that keeps me motivated.I'm the most determined one. I'm the chosen one. The power is undoubtedly within my grasp. I've proven it time and time again.

The boy from Pallet Town.

Yes, this is who I am. I set out on my own with my first Pokémon. My oldest and most faithful friend. I've met many friends along the way. Misty was the first human companion followed by Brock. They always supported me. Guided me. They're essential to my growth as a trainer.

I truly do owe them much for the lessons they taught me. I realize I never would've gotten so far if not for my friends. I value time we spent together. Every last bit of it shaped me into the person I am today. I'll forever be grateful.

Goodbyes are so, so difficult. The four of us wandered around and found many adventures together. The threat of Team Rocket was a constant reminder of dangerous situations we found ourselves in. I wouldn't trade any part of our traveling for anything.

No matter how it all played out we explored and become stronger on our mission. Even though we parted ways, we're still bound by the thread of personal growth and becoming the best we can.
