Disclaimer: Here it is, my dream project that I've been working on! Sorry for being away for so long but with my life as a senior in high school, things can get out of hand every while. But now I'm back on the grind and hopefully will finish this story. I'm already done with the planning and everything else. All that's left is to write it out!

So here is the prologue chapter of sorts...well it's not really a chapter, but an introduction to what this story is going to be about. Be sure to read the whole thing as I will answer only SOME questions, not all of them. This intro will just tell you guys the main things about this story and how it will go. I'll post the first chapter in a few days or maybe if I'm lucky, sooner than that. Anyway, here you go!

Triumphant

-Introduction: Something You Need to Know-

First of all, let me just get something out of the way. The "M" rating in this story actually is put there due to paranoia from yours truly. While there aren't any "lemons" in this story, there will be ALOT of cursing and use of bad words and controversial topics, as well as slight sexual themes. The main point is cursing though, as you can expect the F-Bomb to be dropped so many times here. Just a warning so you guys know.

Now then, this will obviously be a retelling of Ash's journey in Kanto but with a huge twist.

-One, this is going to be more focused on the games rather than the anime, so don't expect too much anime plots here as most of this story is entirely original.

-Two, there are some arcs in the story which are influenced by many other Pokemon stories I've read and are written almost the same. Such stories I can include here are my most influences and my favorite: "The Road to Be a Pokemon Master" by FanaticLAGuy06, "Renegade" by 0 Jordinio 0, "Challenger" by darkfire1220, and "The Child of Mew" by DarkFoxKit. Make sure to check these stories out as they are INSANE.

-And finally three, like I said, since this is more game focused, Ash will be having one main team with SIX Pokemon, rather than the army he has in the anime. It's a simple idea I borrowed from "Challenger" and it makes things alot easier. Will it be all Kanto Pokemon? No. You'll just have to see.

-Also, there is a shipping involved later in the story, although I won't say who. It will be rather surprising to most of you since this is ME where talking here, so yeah.

-This story will follow Ash's journey through Kanto which is based off the games FireRed and LeafGreen, so yeah Sevii Islands are actually a thing in this.

-Another twist is that the Orange Islands will be a small arc in this story and will tie in to the plot, so it will be somewhere in the middle of Ash's Kanto journey. Strange, isn't it?

-The main structure of this story are "arcs". This story is divided into many arcs, the largest being Ash's beginning steps in his journey, such as collecting the lower gym badges and such. There will be other arcs that are not key to Kanto and rather unusual to be here. You'll find out what I mean.

-In addition, there will be THREE movie arcs, but only ONE has a direct tie in to Kanto while the other two will be movies that have appeared in different regions. I've somehow managed to work this out, don't ask me how.

-This story will be long. Not exactyl hitting the triple digits but close. I'm talking about 90 chapters, ladies and gentlemen.

-FINALLY, with the way this story is going and how it will end, there WILL be a sequel. However, I haven't even started anything on that except thinking how the beginning will start out. Don't question it, but it will be released whenever I can.

And that wraps it up for the introduction! Hope you guys are hyped for this as I can't wait to get into the grind. While I do have a tendency to abandon fics or just not update them, I can assure you this story is not like that as I've written rough drafts of each chapter and all I have left is to finalize them.

Another thing, if you have read my other stories (particularly my tournament fic called "The Challenger Returns"), then I want you guys to know that I will get back to updating them as soon as I am done with this series, which will only be two stories. But I think you guys can wait, as this story is bound to keep you hyped all the way...unless you are tired of Ash journey fanfics, which is totally understandable but this is something I've always wanted to do and that got me into Pokemon fanfiction in the first place, so this is a big deal to me.

Other than my rambling, I hope you guys enjoy this story and be on the lookout for the first chapter!
