Prologue
I was walking through the Viridian Forest, when I came across a small Pokémon village. When I arrived in the plaza, I noticed a gathering of the townsfolk. When I went to see what was going on, I noticed a Charmander being brutally beat by some of the ghost-types. When I saw that he had no chance of beating them, I stepped in to help. They started laughing at me! So I pulled out the most powerful thing in the world, my pencil and tablet. Then they laughed at me even more, until I showed them the power of the tablet. I drew a symbol for a lion on the tablet, and all of a sudden, there was a flash of light, and a lion appeared in front of me. When they noticed the lion staring at them hungrily, they ran. After learning his name, Alan, I learned that he had arrived shortly before I did. The town seemed friendly at first, but when he tried to see where he was, one of the kids in the village took a piece of wood and held it over his tail. When it caught fire, the kids threw it at one of the wooden houses and burned it down. Since he "helped" in the creation of the fire, they beat him up. As I said goodbye, he asked if he could go with me. Of course, when I thought about what would happen if they came back, I said that it would be a very good idea for him to come with me.
Three months later, Alan and I were walking through the Kurai Forest. Then, a group of the Striders attacked. We fought an epic battle, we killed many, but in the end they pulled a devious trick and captured me. I vaguely remember Alan saying "Hold on Milo! I'll get some help!" as they pulled me through a dark portal.
