Prologue
The streets of Celadon are gloomy in the nighttime.
The department store, normally packed with shoppers, is now empty as it closes.
The streets are empty, except for a Nidoran rooting through the garbage. No pidgeys were chirping, no growlithes playing. The only source of light was the usual lights and noises from the Rocket Casino.
The door suddenly opened, and there was a blast of white light. For a moment, one could see red glittering eyes in the doorway…

In a forest not far from Celadon, a man was running. He was dressed in all black, and camouflaged well in the night sky. In fact, he would have been invisible entirely if it were not for the blazing red "R" in the center of his clumsily worn uniform.
The man was clearly attempting to be stealthy, but he certainly lacked the subtlety. For one he was tripping over tree roots and rocks, and cursing loudly. He was also huffing and puffing, and if one could see his face, they would know that it was very red.
The man was chasing something but he couldn't seem to catch up. As the man ran, there was a buzzing noise heard.
He reached for his radio and listened in to the garbled speaking. The man's once red face went very, very pale. He poured on the speed, forgetting his fatigue. Finally, he turned a corner and He found his target.
. A large blue ball of pink , was speeding through the air, bouncing off trees, terrorizing two sleeping Rattata.
The man stopped suddenly reaching for his belt. This time he did not pick up the radio. He pulled out a small white and red ball.
Throwing it, he shouted "Ekans, go!" A burst of pure white energy appeared, and a large purple snake emerged.
Its eyes glowed with intelligence, and it opened its mouth revealing poisonous fangs.
The ball turned, hearing the man's voice, and revealing baby blue eyes. It gazed at the man with a wide innocent expression.
The man clenched his hands and ordered the Ekans to "use bite, now!" The snake Pokémon sprung towards its victim and extended its fangs; hissing.
The ball of light, instead of cowering in fear, seemed to giggle.
It let out a blast of pure blue energy that collided with the springing snake. For a split second, the world changed to a bright flashing white light, and for a moment, the darkness was negated.
The bright light slowly subsided, returning the forest to its dark and gloomy state. Though something was wrong.
The blue ball of pink, the man, and the Ekans were gone.

Pallet town was a quiet, unassuming place. There were very few residents, and even fewer houses. The town would have been forgotten if it weren't for the fact that Professor Oak resided there.
The professor in question was currently in his lab, finishing his reports on the recently discovered legendary Pokémon:
… And so, our new findings suggest that our other legendary birds; Zapados and Moltres, are clearly connected to the new Articuno. I now have scientists working at the Seafoam islands, eager to learn more about our new Pokémon friend. Another piece of research suggests…
The professor continued working, only occasionally stopping to get a glass of water, or replace his pen.
Oak's lab was quite unorganized; papers were everywhere, his clothing was strewn across the floor.
This was not entirely Oak's fault however, as at the moment he had five Pokémon to take care of. They were only little, but found much mischief to get into.

Eevee groaned. It was impossible to keep the Pokémon under control. As the oldest of the bunch, it was her duty to keep them in line. Bulbasaur was in the kitchen gobbling up food AGAIN, and it seemed that Pikachu and Charmander were fighting; AGAIN. Currently the fox Pokémon was attempting to help Squirtle shake off a vase that was stuck on his head. "Are you two fighting again?! KNOCK IT OFF! Sorry honey I'll get this vase off in a minu-Bulbasaur! Get your head out of the Pokeblocks!"

It was amazing that Oak was able to work with all of the noises. He was apparently deep into his work. Okay he thought. Just a few more sen- SMASH!
Even Oak could not ignore this.
He leapt to his feet and hurried over to the kitchen, worried, and groaned as he witnessed the scene in front of him.
On the table sat Eevee and Squirtle, with shocked expressions on their face, looking to the ground.
There was his vase, smashed to pieces. During the fight, the vase had apparently been destroyed by Pikachu and Charmander's fight. Bulbasaur dropped the bag of cookies she was holding. Pikachu and Charmander were still wrestling on the lab floor.
Oak groaned.

As Oak swept up the pieces, Eevee herded the anguished Pokémon upstairs. Oak sighed as he threw the shards away.
At least they would be gone tomorrow.
Tomorrow was the day that the young ten year old trainers began their Pokémon journey. The day that Oak gave away his Pokémon as starters, to begin their voyages. Some trainers looked for jobs, while others simply wanted to sightsee. Some even used their Pokémon in movies.
Then of course there was the league challenge.
Oak was considerably upset that only two of the new trainers would attempt to challenge the Pokémon League.
Still, Oak thought as he chuckled, he expected them to be very successful trainers. Red and Blue had been rivals since they were babies. They would certainly the most entertaining trainers to watch. He stretched his shoulders and decided to turn in. He would finish the report some other day.
After all, he wanted to be well rested for the morning.
