Death is the inevitable end to life. But in this case, death is just the beginning of the story.
Professor Maple was the teacher to five 13-year-old students.
His first was John. A methodical youth, his by-the-book take on everything was how he went through most of his life. A lover of the straightforward Fighting type, he always tried to end Pokemon battles as quickly as possible.
His second student was Justine. Attractive and coy, she was talented at bending others to her will without them realzing. This was reflected in her battle style; she used her Psychic-types to toy with the opponent before ending.
Chase was his third. Hyper, energetic, and easily distracted, this Electric-type trainer focused on speed and agility rather than sheer force.
Fourth was Maya. Never one to be outdone, her Dragon-type Pokemon were always a force to be reckoned with.
Finally, his fifth and most promising student was Dean. Mysterious, talented, and a bit of a loner, Dean never focused on one type in particular, and instead kept his team diverse and adaptable for any situation.
Now, as you may recall, I said this story began with death. It does so with the death of Professor Maple. More accurately, his will. It read this:
...to my students, I leave you each a ticket for a plane. If you wish, you can travel the world and experience what I could never offer you in any lesson or story..
True to his word, there were five tickets found in his office later that day, all for a private flight .
That night, all five of Maple's pupils gathered outside his office, trying to decide what they would do now.
Chase was the first to speak up.
"It's obvious, isn't it? We go on a world tour."
"Huh?" was all that Maya said.
"We take our Pokemon and go see the world. Go to all of the different regions."
"Sounds like an idea," John replied.
"I'm in," agreed Maya after giving it some thought.
"Why not?" Justine chimed in.
"How could I refuse?" Dean shrugged before walking back home.
