PROLOGUE

Tad

Hey, stranger! The name's Tad, Tad Strait. Black hair, green eyes, tall but skinny, and a crooked smile.

I live in Pallet Town, home of, the great, Professor Oak. He is kind of like a father to me, and often lets me in on some of his research. He told me that he would rather have me as his grandson, than his real one, Ace. I hate that guy, but I love Oak!

Well, I'm just your average fourteen year old boy, who is in love with Pokémon! I'm actually getting my first one, tomorrow, along with the love-of-my-life, Kimberly, and my arch nemesis, Ace. I'm hoping to woo Kim, and defeat Ace, as I go about my journey to the Elite Four!

I will become Pokémon Champion, someday.

Kim

Hello. My name is Kimberly Barlow, and I live in Pallet Town. You probably haven't heard of it, because only about eight people live there. Pallet town is located in the Kanto region, between Route 1 and Route 21. Everyone who inhabit it are very close, since we grew up together.

Anyway, I am fourteen years old, and getting my first Pokémon, tomorrow! I am super excited, because I have waited my entire life for my very own Pokémon.

I don't really care for battling with them, but I love how cute they are! unlike me, my best friend, Tad, loves watching the battles on T.V., and wishes he could be one of those trainers. . When we were younger, he used to make me fight with him, and pretend to be a Pokémon!

I can't wait for tomorrow!

Ace

'Sup, I'm Ace. Well, technically, my name is Tracey, but that's a girly name! Ugh, my parents do not know how to name their effing kids. If you call me anything other than "Ace", I'll ruin you.

Whatever, my last name is Oak. Sound familiar? As in Professor Oak, the "famous" Pokémon scientist guy. Yeah, he's my grandpa. Unfortunately. He doesn't like me, and I don't like him. Everyone knows that he wishes his little protégé, Tad, was his grandson, rather than me.

Tad and I are sort of secret enemies, because his little crush, Kimberly, has a thing for me. What can I say, I can't help being this hot. Ha.

Anyhow, all three of us just turned fourteen, which means we get to pick our starter Pokémon out tomorrow, to become trainers. I'm sure I'll beat them both, no matter what I choose. With my power and intelligence, no one can stop me!

I am simply, the best.
