Happy New Year, Celadon! I have some exciting news to announce! Over the months between now and Kanto's 200th anniversary this June, I will be out on the road. My goal? To create the first ever comprehensive look at Kanto's rich history! My travels will take me to nearby Saffron and far of Cinnabar, the shores of Vermillion and the mountains of Pewter. I will interview famous celebrities and gym leaders, and experience what a trainer's life is really like!
But for my first article, I thought I would introduce myself for my new readers. My name's Allen and I've been reporting for the Fleet Dodrio for last five years. I applied for my traveling license two years ago and narrowly earned the coveted Cool Trainer license. My registered pokemon are my father's blastoise and a vulpix I caught when I was still a youngster. Also accompanying me is the haunter that's been following me since I covered the tearing down of Gambler Jason's house. My regular readers will remember that while haunter refuses to be caught, it has helped me time and time again in my research.
My weekly articles will be sent back to the home offices via a company carrier pidgey, so you all can live my experience as it happens. Well, I've packed my bags with potions and dusted off my bicycle. Tomorrow my great journey begins. Won't you join me in it?
