It was the night before the big day, and Jerry couldn't sleep. He thought "I can't believe in just," he glanced at his clock "eight hours I will have my own Pokémon!"
Jerry lived in the Neotin region; it was a newly discovered region. Many people from the Johto and Hoenn had rushed to see the "great new region" but were disappointed when they saw nothing but a deserted island. The island itself had little to no Pokémon, and no new species. So, many people brought their own Pokémon to populate the region, as a result the region mainly consist of Johto and Hoenn Pokémon with a few Kanto, Sinnoh, and Unova in the mix.
"This year," Jerry began thinking, "the starters are Treecko, Piplup, and Cyndaquil, ooh I want that Cyndaquil so bad."
Since the Neotin region had no natural wild Pokémon it had no starters, so instead every year Professor Buckle gave away three different starters, one grass, one fire, and one water, from three random regions.
"I need that Cyndaquil; it's something to remind me of my home back in Goldenrod City, in the Johto region," Jerry thought. "Now I have to live in Sapling City, and it's not even a real city they just call it that so the two beginning consonant sounds are the same,"
"Now Ironclad City, that was a real city," Jerry began "it was the largest settlement on the island, and it was home of the eighth gym leader, Mason who specializes in steel type; I remember reading somewhere that his daughter just started her adventure," 'SNAP'.
"The Pinsir must be acting up tonight," Jerry thought to himself, "Pinsir often cut down the saplings in the area, I remember when people tried to get the police to drive out the Pinsir, but the police couldn't do anything because the Pinsir were protected by law. I never understood why it was such a big deal, there were plenty of saplings around!"
"Treecko, Piplup, and Cyndaquil, let's see Will, Jim, and Nick wanted Treecko, Ashley and Mary wanted Piplup, and Cyndaquil was wanted by (himself) Ben, Kyle, and …Butch. I had never liked Butch and Butch never liked me, in fact the only reason Butch wanted Cyndaquil was to annoy me!"
"I think Butch is from the Hoenn region, I'm not sure. He's always so secretive, but not about his dad, his dad was a famous Pokémon trainer who'd been to every region and challenged every league, but so what, one day I'll do that too!"
Jerry glanced at his clock, 11:32 "seven hours and twenty eight minutes to go." Treecko, Piplup, and Cyndaquil he kept thinking over in his head.
