You sit down on a rock, overwhelmed.
A little over an hour ago, you beat the champion of Kanto. Red. And in the middle of a blizzard, no less!
You yell into the sky, once again overcome with the magnitude of your victory.
But your mood soon turns somber.
Red receded into the mountainside. He must train, must get better. He must be the very best.
But you, what are you going to do?
You have no mountain to stand on.
But you do have a region to run.
And the best place for a journey to start is home.
