Letter
Dear Future Trainer,
Thanks to the new law passed on by the Pokémon League there is to be no trainer under the age of 18 traveling without adult supervision. 10 year olds can still get their starting Pokémon but cannot travel unless accompanied by a legitimate adult trainer, able to protect both the child and themselves. New 10 year olds are advised to go to a Pokémon Academy and develop their skills. Either way when a Trainer turns 17 they will need attend a year in the Academy in order to gain their Trainers' License and their ranking for the professional trainer's class for that year. Sorry if this inconvenience is a problem for your future plans but we are doing this for your overall safety.
Sincerely,
Charles Goodshow
Pokémon League Director
As this letter was let out to the rest of the Pokémon World, opinions were divided. Parents were glad they got to keep their children until they are grown up while kids where angry they had to stay a bit longer. Let's go around the Pokémon World and see what other children and their parents are saying.
Sinnoh:
Dawn Berlitz was disappointed but not overly sad. She enjoyed living with her Mother and when she got her Pokémon in 10 months she could just stay home and train them with the help of her Mother and her Friends Kenny and Leona. Kenny would stay at home instead of going on his journey 5 months before her and Leona is going to help the Family business. Dawn could use this time to improve her coordinators skill with their help. Didn't seem that bad to her.
Paul Shinji was angry. He was suppose to be out on the road by now but got screwed over by the Pokémon League. He already had his Turtwig and was going to head out to Hoenn. He witness his brother be beaten by Brandon and question his goals now he needed to wait even longer. Well at least he could use this time to make his Turtwig the strongest of his kind and build a team ready to take on the world. He could train with Reggie and raise this future team and study the Pokémon of this world.
Barry Pearl was Furious. He wanted to head out and become the champion of the Sinnoh but now he had to stay put. His father told him he would train him and his Piplup to be the best they could be. He guesses that's as best as he can get. He's going to fine the Pokémon League for this letter.
Zoey Maze understood what the Pokémon League had done. They are only trying to protect them. This also gave her a chance for her and Candice to raise the little Glameow they found together under the care of either ones parent. Of course Candice already had her Snover so she could claim Glameow has her starter.
Hoenn:
May Maple was kind of glad she didn't have to leave home yet. Sure it wouldn't be for another 6 months but she enjoyed being at home. It gave her more time to realize what she wants to do with her life and maybe find a good dream. She didn't even like Pokémon but that might change with the years and the help of her dad. Overall it was a good thing for her.
Drew Rose was not enjoying what he was told but there was nothing he could do about it. He already had his Budew and was ready to head out and become a top coordinator. Now he had to wait 8 more years. Either way with all the money his family had he could get a tutor and train to be the best. Nothing to worry him about.
Harrison Blaze understood what he was hearing. It made sense that the Pokémon league was acting on the age limit of Pokémon trainers. Now they would be more experience and developed with stronger Pokémon and a well balanced team. He already has is Torchic so he might as well make him the best Fire type ever.
Morrison Steel on the other hand was devastated. Sure this meant more time with his family but he wanted to leave. His father already gave him a Beldum and he was going to head out and win, win, win! Now he had to stay, listening to his mother and do chores while also training. Oh well, at least he could eat his moms home cooking.
Kanto:
Gary Oak was pissed. Tomorrow he would get his starter but wouldn't be able to travel. That's just great, and he didn't have that loser to make fun of. The good thing is his grandfather and guardian is the Pokémon Professor so he could know what he's doing. He would get his starter, build the best team ever and destroy the loser's team... if they ever meet again. Sad when a young boy loses his best friend.
Brock Harrison was glad for this news. It meant his parents couldn't travel and they can stay and watch the gym. He on the other hand can be like a regular kid and train his Onix and Geodude to be the best Gym leader ever.
Misty Waterflower was annoyed. She wanted to get the hell out of this gym but now she couldn't. The good thing is her father had to come back or take her with him. Now she will be with him all the time training to be the best water specialist ever alongside her Staryu and Goldeen.
Ash Ketchum didn't know what to do. His Mother was glad he could stay but the fact that is Father came for him made him distress. His mother told him how if Ash didn't go on a journey by the age of ten is Father would come back and take him under his wing. Ash was never really strong with his father so seeing him here surprised him. He didn't want to leave his mother, his best friend Gary or the Professor but even he knew the best way to become the best was to have his Father help him. He promised Ash he could see his Mother twice a month but his training would be tough and would pay out in the end. He understood what his father was talking about and knew there was no way out of it with this new law. He packed his things and has soon as he got his starter from Professor Oak he would be on his way to Viridian City with his dad.
Johto:
Here we find ourselves in New Bark Town home to Professor Elm. The letter is being read by a young boy who is wearing a simple white tee and cargo shorts. He knew exactly why this letter was sent out and whose fault is was to blame. He knew the dangers and highlights of the road himself. He was already traveling when this letter came and told him to go back home. The only problem was he doesn't have a home to go back. His Guardian has taken custody of him again and the Professor is doing the best he can. He knew of the kids past and feels for this kid as his own. He would make sure the child was ready for anything even if he didn't say much too anyone. Even if the kids past came to haunt him he would be with him all the way.
Chapter one finished. All the people mention hear will be the same age.
Next Chapter: The new Academia
I do not own Pokémon.
Good bye,
O.A.L.
